The Treaty of Waitangi is an 1840 agreement between the British Crown and Māori rangatira, first signed on 6 February 1840 by Captain William Hobson for the Crown and by Northern Māori leaders at Waitangi. Copies were then carried around the North Island, and around 530 to 540 Māori, including at least 13 women, signed the Māori-language version, while only 39 signed the English one. The two texts differ, and the treaty's meaning is still debated, especially over whether Māori ceded sovereignty. It was not made part of domestic law until the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975, which transformed how the government deals with Māori rights.

Israeli reports also say the cabinet directed the military to prepare for a possible new attack on Iran.

Angkor, near Siem Reap in northern Cambodia, was the capital of the Khmer Empire, which ruled much of mainland Southeast Asia between roughly the 9th and 15th centuries. At its height the city spread across about 3,000 square kilometres, making it the largest pre-industrial city on Earth by area. Its growth depended on water: huge reservoirs called barays, along with canals and embankments, stored monsoon rain and carried it to rice fields. That system let farmers harvest more than once a year and fed a very large population through the dry season. The temple complex of Angkor Wat, built in the early 12th century, is the best-known monument and still stands at the heart of the park.
