China’s imports of seafood from Japan slumped last month as Tokyo started to release treated waste water from the damaged Fukushima nuclear power plant. Imports of Japanese seafood fell 67.6% in August from the same month last year, China’s customs authority said. Japan’s ministry of agriculture and fisheries says China was the world’s top importer of the country’s seafood. Last year, Asia’s largest economy imported 84.4 billion yen ($571m; £461m) of seafood from its neighbour. The sharp fall came as Japan prepared to start releasing the waste water and in the aftermath of the release. Since the 2011 tsunami which severely damaged…

Beijing has told foreign consulates in Hong Kong to hand over personal details of all locally hired staff. Local media report that a letter from the city arm of China’s Foreign Ministry asked for the data to be submitted by 18 October.

The move would bring rules in Hong Kong into line with those in the mainland. Hong Kong is part of China, but has had some autonomy since the end of British rule in 1997. But following months of major…

Azerbaijan said its military measures in Nagorno-Karabakh are continuing for a second day after it launched what it described as “anti-terror” operations in the area on Tuesday. It said it will not stop until ethnic-Armenian separatists surrender. Tensions in the South Caucasus have been high for months around the breakaway enclave, recognised internationally as part of Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan and Armenia last went to war three years ago. In a statement on Wednesday morning, Azerbaijan’s defence ministry said military equipment belonging to the Armenian armed forces had been “neutralised”, including military vehicles, artillery and anti-aircraft missile installations. On Tuesday, Baku ordered “illegal Armenian…

Western support for Ukraine as it defends against Russia has globally significant consequences, Polish President Andrzej Duda said Tuesday, urging Kyiv’s backers to remain steadfast. “It is about making sure that Russia is not able legally to forcefully shift the borders in Europe,” Duda told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview from the United Nations headquarters in New York. “This is the guarantee of peace in the future, also for the United States.” Poland and Ukraine share a lengthy border, an area where the war resonated fiercely on Tuesday after Russian drones struck warehouses in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv. There is no…

Britain’s King Charles and Queen Camilla will finally arrive in France for a state visit Wednesday, six months later than initially planned. President Emmanuel Macron was forced to awkwardly postpone the original trip amid nationwide violent clashes over his pension reforms. The French leader halted the March visit with just days to go, saying at the time that his government would have lacked “common sense” if it had gone ahead. The British monarch and his wife instead traveled to Germany for their historic first foreign tour. The packed royal itinerary for the rescheduled three-day visit to Paris and Bordeaux, ending Friday, is largely unchanged save for a…

On Wednesday evening, at a swanky party in a townhouse in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village, Michael Wolff will celebrate his forthcoming book about Fox News, titled “The Fall: The End of Fox News and the Murdoch Dynasty.” The anticipated 320-page work, which will hit shelves next week, is poised to generate voluminous chatter and headlines — and leave newsrooms with a predicament. In the forthcoming book, a copy of which CNN obtained in advance of its release, Wolff makes a number of shocking and explosive claims. Wolff reports that Rupert Murdoch holds immense disdain for Sean Hannity, calling the primetime host…

Millions of American homeowners could see insurance rates surge in the coming years in part due to worsening climate disasters, new data shows. An analysis of from nonprofit research group First Street Foundation found nearly 39 million homes and commercial properties – about 27% of properties in the Lower 48 – are at risk of their premiums spiking as insurers struggle to cover the increasing cost of rebuilding after disasters. It’s another alarming sign for the future of America’s homeowners’ insurance market.
