BANGKOK (AP) — A court in Thailand convicted and sentenced a recently elected lawmaker Wednesday to six years in prison for defaming the monarchy under a controversial law that guards the royal institution. Human Rights Watch decried the ruling, saying it “violated her rights to freedom of expression protected under international human rights law.”Rukchanok Srinork arrived for her court hearing in the capital, Bangkok, as her fellow lawmakers were convening in Parliament.“I submitted a request to postpone (the hearing) because today the new parliament convenes for its first session, but the court refused.

She was charged over two posts she allegedly shared two years ago on X, the social media platform then known as Twitter.

OCEANSIDE, Calif. -- In a bold new plan to bring white sandy beaches back to Oceanside, three teams of engineers are proposing their best plans to “Re: Beach” the city. "We use to have sandy beaches that people would go to and now we don’t,” said Joel West, a long-time resident of Oceanside.

The three plans will be judged by a selected panel and then recommended to the city council for a vote. Two San Diego universities face discrimination investigations “We have teams from around the world. That’s the best part, so you have some of the brightest minds and best thinkers for coastal adaptation and management here in Oceanside,” said Ryan Kime, the deputy mayor of Oceanside.Experts say it is not enough to...
