Elephant Kills Tourist, Royal Son Arrested, Hostages Escape, Border Opens

International News Roundup: Tragedy in Thailand, Arrest in Norway, Border Reopens in Gaza, Kidnap Victims Return in Nigeria, and Grammy Controversy

A 65-year-old tourist was trampled to death by an elephant in Khao Yai National Park in Thailand on Monday, according to park officials. The tourist was walking with his wife when the incident occurred. Park rangers managed to scare the elephant away, allowing the wife to escape, according to national park chief Chaiya Huayhongthong, who spoke with AFP. The elephant, named Oyewan, had reportedly killed two other people previously. Authorities are scheduled to meet on Friday to discuss how to manage the elephant, Chaiya said.

In Norway, Marius Borg Høiby, 29, the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, was arrested on suspicion of assault, according to BBC News. The arrest occurred before his trial in Oslo on 38 charges, including the rape of four women. Police stated the latest allegations involved wielding a knife and violating a restraining order, citing a risk of reoffending. This marks the fourth time Høiby has been detained by police since August 2024, when he was first accused of assaulting a woman he had been in a relationship with. He was remanded in custody for four weeks.

Meanwhile, the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt reopened on Monday, as reported by BBC News. The crossing, a key point for the movement of people, had been largely closed since May 2024, when Israeli forces captured the Gazan side. The reopening was initially planned during the first phase of a US-brokered ceasefire plan between Israel and Hamas in October, but was blocked by Israel until the return of the body of the last Israeli hostage in Gaza, which occurred last week. Sick and wounded Palestinians from Gaza have already arrived in Egypt, according to BBC News.

In Nigeria, eighty kidnapped Nigerians returned home after escaping their captors in Kaduna state, BBC News reported. The individuals were among 177 people seized last month from three churches in the village of Kurmin Wali. According to state police spokesman Mansur Hassan, the escapees hid in neighboring villages for a fortnight "due to fear of being captured again." Authorities are continuing efforts to secure the release of the remaining 86 people still being held. The attack was part of a wave of kidnappings in the region.

Finally, China criticized the Dalai Lama's Grammy win as "anti-China political manipulation," according to Reuters. The Buddhist spiritual leader won in the audiobook category for "Meditations: The Reflections of His Holiness the Dalai Lama." China's foreign ministry spokesman Lin Jian stated, "We firmly oppose relevant parties using art awards as a tool for anti-China political manipulation, and this position is consistent." The Dalai Lama, who has lived in exile from his Tibetan homeland since 1959, accepted the award with "gratitude and humility."
