Part III of the Constitution of India, Articles 12 to 35, lists fundamental rights that protect civil liberties such as equality before the law, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of religion. Citizens can ask the Supreme Court or High Courts to enforce them through writs such as habeas corpus. The six rights cover equality, freedom, protection against exploitation, freedom of religion, cultural and educational rights, and constitutional remedies. The right to property was removed as a fundamental right in 1978, and a right to education for children aged 6 to 14 was added in 2009. In the 1973 Kesavananda Bharati case, the Supreme Court held that Parliament can amend these rights but cannot alter the Constitution's basic structure.

Indonesian Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka handed his resignation to parliament after questions were raised about his eligibility for office and his academic credentials. Gibran is the son of former president Joko Widodo, and his resignation came as Widodo publicly backed the president, Prabowo Subianto. Gibran had been elected vice president in 2024 as Prabowo's running mate. His candidacy was made possible by a 2023 Constitutional Court ruling on the minimum age for candidates, which was itself controversial. Parliament will now consider the resignation.

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.
