世足32強首輪最後一場比賽，上午由南韓紅魔鬼出戰俄羅斯，一早、首爾的永東大路就整個封街，因為江南大叔Psy，這回再度應邀為世足開唱，許多偶像藝人也當起啦啦隊，為祖國加油。
早上七點不到，首爾光化門廣場前、滿坑滿谷的紅魔鬼，大家要集體發功，跨海為正在巴西出戰俄羅斯的南韓隊加油。
2002年因為演唱世足應援曲走紅的Psy大叔，最近正忙著為新專輯打歌，但他硬是擠出時間力挺世足，還一口氣連唱8首歌，可說誠意十足。
為了這場加油演唱會，永東大路從前一晚就交通管制，並出動1000名警察維持交通，不過現場1萬多名紅衫軍，可不是全衝著韓國隊來的。
美國歌迷：「我除了看Psy沒別的期待，大家都在拍照，我只能盯著他看，好迷人喔，真的厲害到爆，能在第一排看他太讚了，我只看得到Psy 其他閃邊。」
雖然最後南韓太極虎表現超乎預期，與俄羅斯北極熊握手言和，但或許因為贏球輸球、這天都得上班，加上不少粉絲根本醉翁之意不在世足，許多觀眾聽完歌、沒等比賽結束就提前離場，比起上屆晉級16強的南非世足、南韓這回的熱度似乎還有待加溫。（民視新聞綜合報導）

Nearly 300 signatories have signed an open 10-point letter before next month's European Parliament election, saying lawmakers should be putting democracy at the top of their agenda in an increasingly authoritarian world. The letter, which was released on Thursday, calls for widening powers to uphold the rule of law, ensuring new digital technologies safeguard human rights, and to place democracy at the heart of the European Union’s security, migration, energy, and trade agendas. “These converging challenges have created a real risk that in this global election year, EU member states as well as some of its key partners may see the ascent of anti-democratic political actors," according to the Stockholm-based International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, which initiated the open letter.
Republican lawmakers in North Carolina are pushing forward with their plan to repeal a pandemic-era law that allowed the wearing of masks in public for health reasons, a move spurred in part by demonstrations against the war in Gaza that have included masked protesters camped out on college campuses. The legislation cleared the Senate on Wednesday in a 30-15 vote along party lines despite several attempts by state Senate Democrats to change the bill. The bill, which would raise penalties for someone who wears a mask while committing a crime, including arrested protesters, could still be altered as it heads back to the House.

Donald Trump is seeking to have New York’s highest court intervene in his fight over a gag order that has seen him fined $10,000 and threatened with jail for violating a ban on commenting about witnesses, jurors and others connected to his hush money criminal trial. The former president’s lawyers filed a notice of appeal Wednesday, a day after the state’s mid-level appellate court refused his request to lift or modify the restrictions.

Investments in weapons manufacturers and a wide array of other companies by the University of California targeted by students protesting the Israel-Hamas war represent $32 billion - or nearly one-fifth - of the system's overall assets, the system's chief investment officer says. UC Chief Investment Officer Jagdeep Singh Bachher unveiled the estimate Tuesday at the first public Board of Regents meeting since nationwide pro-Palestinian student protests began in April. The calculation was in response to a letter he received last month from the UC Divest Coalition, which is scrutinizing the system's overall $175 billion in assets.

IBM plans to hire up to 800 more people in Ireland to help build advanced software underpinned by AI technology, the biggest job announcement in the country's multinational sector this year, state investment agency IDA Ireland said on Thursday. The U.S. IT software and consultancy services provider, which is one of the largest multinational employers in Ireland with 3,000 staff, will add the roles in research and development, digital sales and consulting. Ireland is hugely reliant on foreign multinationals, which have almost doubled their workforce in the last decade to make up around 11% of the entire labour market.
(Reuters) -Grab Holdings raised its full-year profit forecast on Wednesday after reporting a higher-than-expected quarterly revenue, driven by recent cost-reduction measures and robust demand for its ride-share services. A significant restructuring at Grab, which included reducing 1,000 jobs and slashing some technology costs in 2023, is helping the company push ahead in its goal to deliver positive free cash flow this year. In an interview with Reuters, CFO Peter Oey said a surge in Southeast Asian tourism, along with an increase in corporate events and concerts in the last quarter, bolstered the demand for ride-share services.
Peru's President Dina Boluarte will travel to China in June to meet with her counterpart Xi Jinping, her agriculture minister announced on Wednesday, adding that beef exports to the Asian giant are among the topics likely to be on the bilateral agenda. Agriculture Minister Angel Manero spoke to reporters at the national palace following a cabinet meeting, noting that the agenda for June's presidential summit is expected to cover 29 issues including the potential beef trade. Manero estimated that beef shipments to China could provide a $3 billion to $4 billion boost to Peru's economy.
A new abortion clinic will open in southeast Kansas this fall, bolstering the state’s role as a regional hub for reproductive health services whose neighbors have severely restricted access since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Comprehensive Health of Planned Parenthood Great Plains announced Tuesday that Pittsburg, Kansas, will be home to a new facility providing abortion procedures and pills, as well as pregnancy services, contraception, and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases. After the Roe reversal, Kansas was the first state where voters weighed in on abortion at the ballot box, resoundingly rejecting a constitutional amendment that could have led to an abortion ban in August 2022.

Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed a measure Wednesday that could have earmarked up to $5 million for gun-detection systems in schools while expressing concern that it could have benefitted only one particular company. Kelly's line-item veto leaves in place $5 million for school safety grants but deletes specific wording that she said would have essentially converted the program “into a no-bid contract” by eliminating “nearly all potential competition.” The company that stood to benefit is ZeroEyes, a firm founded by military veterans after the fatal shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.
