10,000 witness Spring Equinox sunrise at Angkor Wat

More than 10,000 tourists woke up at 5am yesterday to visit Angkor Wat temple in Siem Reap to watch the Spring Equinox sunrise.

Seng Sotheara, Director of the Department of Natural Cultural Tourism of Apsara Authority, said more than 10,000 foreign visitors and Cambodian people visited the temple to enjoy the sunrise above the central tower of Angkor Wat temple.

He estimated that more than 2,500 international tourists along with 7,500 Cambodian visitors flocked to the site before dawn.

Each year, the equinox occurs twice, during the spring dry season, which is the Vernal Equinox on March 21, and during the fall rainy season, which is the Autumnal Equinox and occurs on September 22 this year.

The two equinoxes are the only times during the year when the axis of the Earth is tilted neither toward nor away from the sun. During an equinox, the duration of the sun in the sky is exactly equal to the period of nighttime darkness around the world.

Some of the tourists visiting the temple waited on the edge of the moat in front of the temple, while others came to sit in the old library of Angkor Wat in front of the main temple. Yet others waited near the north and south ponds of the temple to see the view and snap photos.

The central causeway was packed with visitors trying to snap photos of the rising sun.

Some of the local visitors from Siem Reap said, while they’ve visited Angkor Wat many times before this was the first time they got up early enough to visit before 5am to watch the beauty of the sunrise over the central tower of Angkor Wat temple.

The sky was cloudless and the rising sun reflected over the pond, radiating a golden glow above the temple. Everyone admired the breathtaking sight.

Tourists visiting from the United States expressed surprise and delight at seeing the sunrise over Angkor Wat. They said that the sight of the sun rising exactly over the middle of the central tower of the temple was an amazing experience. The visitors added that the unique experience cannot be compared to any other natural event on Earth.

Minister of Tourism Sok Soken addressed the press at a conference hosted by the Club of Cambodian Journalists yesterday morning at Angkor Wat.

He said the ministry is considering how to develop the experience of visitors to Angkor Wat, as well as about how to promote tourism in Cambodia more effectively.

The minister said that people around the world know about the special sunrise at Angkor Wat during the equinox, and that the extraordinary event is a chance to build cultural ties around the world, and to share Cambodia’s cultural heritage.

He added that the Angkor Wat Archaeological Park area is under the administration of the Apsara Authority. However, there has been discussion about reviewing current ticket prices and the type of services available to visitors.

“We have to look ahead to the future in order to evaluate the cost of visiting the Angkor Park,” said the minister.

He added, “We want to advertise Angkor Wat and the services on offer here, and we know the ticket price has to be acceptable to everyone.”

‘Gentle Monster’ opens in Aoyama, Tokyo.

On March 14th, the Korean eyewear brand "Gentle Monster" opened its flagship store on the streets of Aoyama, Tokyo, marking its second location in Japan. Alongside it, the cosmetic brand "Tamburins," also under II Combined, made its debut in Japan. This store, connecting two brands on a single floor, is said to be the first of its kind in the world. The store is two stories high. Upon entering, visitors are immediately greeted by the brand's iconic Giant Head robot, symbolizing the brand. There are three of these impressive figures in the flagship store, drawing visitors in. The first floor serves as a pop-up space, currently featuring the second collaboration with "Maison Margiela." The store, aiming to be a brand that "continues to astonish the world," not only features the Giant Head but also displays objects representing products and the brand's story, such as pumpkins and stars, offering a space reminiscent of an art gallery. The opening was celebrated by ENHYPEN's JUNGWON, NI-KI, and JAKE, who visited the store.

Ukraine war: Is Europe doing enough to help against Russia?

When the widow of the Russian dissident Alexei Navalny addressed the European Parliament recently, she said something striking. "If you really want to defeat Putin, you have to become an innovator," Yulia Navalnaya told MEPs. "And you have to stop being boring."

Being innovative and interesting may be traits not always associated with some European politicians.

But they are having to think differently, not just about how better to support Ukraine but also to increase pressure on Russia.

The shadow of a potential Donald Trump presidency hangs over the continent, raising doubts about America's long-term backing for Ukraine.

A $60bn (£47bn) package of US military support for Ukraine is held up in the House of Representatives. And on the battlefield, Russian forces are beginning to make gains against their less well armed opponents.

Two years on from Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, European capitals have largely maintained their political backing for Kyiv.

In January the European Union agreed in January a €50bn package ($55bn; £43bn) of grants and loans to fund Ukraine's government and public services.

But the EU failed to meet its target of sending one million shells to Ukraine by the beginning of this month.

EU diplomats are still haggling over plans for a new €5bn top-up to the European Peace Facility to buy more weapons for Kyiv. And Nato says that this year about 12 European members may still not meet the alliance's target of spending 2% of national output on defence.

Oscars 2024 predictions: Who will win – and who should?

1. Best picture

You can never be quite sure which film will win the top prize at the Oscars: in recent years, both The Power of the Dog and La La Land seemed to have it in the bag, but both of them were beaten. All the same, it would be a major upset if Oppenheimerwasn't named best picture this year. It's a film with a heavyweight subject and a stellar cast, but it's also technically dazzling: Christopher Nolan's biopic of J Robert Oppenheimer is far more intricate than the average Hollywood "based on a true story" drama. There are also the little matters of how phenomenally successful it's been at the global box office, how thoroughly it has dominated awards season, and how commandingly it leads the field in terms of Oscar nominations – 13 in total. I can't honestly say that Oppenheimer is my own favourite of the best picture contenders, but it would (and will) be a worthy winner. (Nicholas Barber)

When the best picture category expanded from five to 10 nominated films in 2009, the change was spurred by backlash to the way Christopher Nolan's blockbuster The Dark Knight was snubbed the previous year. Now it's full-circle time. Nolan's explosive yet character-driven epic Oppenheimer, with a perfect balance of art and commerce, is poised to win best picture. Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things are also great in their different ways, but Oppenheimer's ambition and invention make it, deservedly, this year's best. (Caryn James)

Two Sessions: China says it’s open for business – do we buy it?

As China's annual parliamentary sitting comes to a close after a hectic week of meetings, a glaring void looms on Monday's final agenda.

The National People's Congress is usually capped off by the premier's press conference. But this year, and for the rest of the term, the tradition has been mysteriously nixed.

Officials have said there was no need for it given there were other opportunities for journalists to ask questions. But many observers saw it as another sign of consolidation and control, in what became a running theme for the congress, even as top officials preached openness.

The cancellation of the press conference also effectively diminishes Premier Li Qiang's profile. Though the event was scripted, it was a rare chance for foreign journalists to ask questions and gave the country's second-in-command some room to flex his muscles.

In years past, it even yielded some unexpected moments. In 2020 then-premier Li Keqiang disclosed figures that stoked debate over a government claim that it had eradicated poverty.

The dimming of the spotlight on the premier, along with a shorter congress this year, are all signs of ongoing structural change within the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) where President Xi Jinping is increasingly accumulating power at the expense of other individuals and institutions, noted Alfred Wu, an associate professor at the National University of Singapore who studies Chinese governance.

But to the outside world, the party is keen on projecting a different kind of image as it battles dwindling foreign investor confidence and a general malaise in its economy.

Addressing international journalists last week, foreign minister Wang Yi insisted China was still an attractive place to invest in and do business.

"China remains strong as an engine for growth. The 'next China' is still China," he said, before citing ways in which "China is opening its door wider".

This year's economic blueprint, delivered by Mr Li at the start of the session, laid out plans to open up more areas to foreign investment and reducing market access restrictions in sectors such as manufacturing and services.

These moves come after foreign investors were spooked by recent anti-espionage and data protection laws, as well as several sudden high-profile detentions of Chinese and foreign businessmen. Foreign direct investment in China recently fell to a 30-year low.

"There are fewer political checks and balances, there is no transparency. This is the bigger concern for investors… you cannot predict what's going to happen, so you avoid the risk," said Dr Wu.

Trump challenges Biden to debates ‘anytime’ after Super Tuesday wins

Donald Trump has challenged Joe Biden to TV debates, as the rivals hurtle towards a White House rematch following their sweep of the Super Tuesday votes.

The Republican said he would take part in a TV forum with the Democratic president "anytime, anywhere, anyplace" posting online in all capital letters.

Mr Biden's campaign said Mr Trump was "thirsty for attention and struggling to expand his appeal".

No debates have so far been agreed ahead of November's election.

Mr Trump's challenge came hours after his last Republican rival, Nikki Haley, dropped out of the race to be the Republican nominee for the White House.

"It is important, for the Good of our Country, that Joe Biden and I Debate Issues that are so vital to America, and the American People," Mr Trump posted on his social media website, Truth Social, hours after Ms Haley's departure from the race.

He added that such debates could be run by the Democratic National Committee, or the Commission on Presidential Debates, which has overseen presidential debates for the last 30 years.

Mr Trump said the debate commission - which declares itself non-partisan, but is accused by conservatives of bias - was a "subsidiary" of the Democratic party.

Mr Trump, 77, has repeatedly claimed Mr Biden, 81, is too old and forgetful to debate him. Mr Biden has in turn suggested it is Mr Trump who is senile.

The White House press secretary was asked earlier on Wednesday whether refusing a debate could cast doubt on Mr Biden's "acuity". She suggested the reporter speak to the president's re-election campaign.

The Biden campaign did not say whether he would participate in a debate against Mr Trump, and instead suggested that the Republican tune in to the president's Thursday evening State of the Union address to Congress.

"That's a conversation we'll have at the appropriate time in this cycle," said Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler.

Bipartisan US bill could force ByteDance to divest TikTok

A group of US lawmakers has introduced a bill that would require Chinese tech giant ByteDance to sell off the popular video-sharing TikTok app within six months or face a ban.

For years American officials have raised concerns that data from the app could fall into the hands of the Chinese government.

A bipartisan set of 19 lawmakers introduced the legislation on Tuesday.

TikTok called the bill a disguised "outright ban".

In a statement announcing the bill, the lawmakers said "applications like TikTok that are controlled by foreign adversaries pose an unacceptable risk to US national security".

The bill would give ByteDance 165 days to divest, or it would be blocked from the app store and web hosting platforms in the US.

"This legislation will trample the First Amendment rights of 170 million Americans and deprive 5 million small businesses of a platform they rely on to grow and create jobs," TikTok said in a statement to the BBC.

TikTok has previously argued against divestment, saying a change in ownership would not impose new restrictions on data use.

TikTok is one of the most popular apps in the US, especially among younger people.

This is the latest attempt by US lawmakers to place restriction on the app.

Senators introduced legislation to block the app last year, but the move stalled after lobbying from the company.

Former President Donald Trump tried to ban the application completely in 2020, though the move was also unsuccessful.

The application is also banned on government devices, though President Joe Biden's re-election campaign made an account last month.

The House Energy and Commerce Committee said it would consider the latest bill on Thursday.

Details on Exynos 2500 Chip Emerge

លេចធ្លាយពត៌មានលម្អិតថ្មីៗអំពីឈីប Exynos 2500

According to the latest from wccftech, Samsung's "dream chip," the Exynos 2500, has had some of its specifications leaked. This SoC is expected to retain the 10-core CPU architecture of its predecessor, with an added twist of incorporating the new Cortex-X5 big cores.

The Exynos 2500 is currently under testing with various architectures, as using too many Cortex-X cores might lead to uncontrollable power consumption. The latest configuration indicates that the 10-core CPU layout will remain unchanged compared to the Exynos 2400. However, the Exynos 2500 is rumored to switch to Cortex-X5 and Cortex-A730 cores, potentially offering a performance boost over the Exynos 2400's Cortex-X4 and Cortex-A720.

Unfortunately, the frequency difference between Cortex-X5 and Cortex-X4 is minimal, with specific figures at 3.20GHz and 3.30GHz, respectively. Therefore, in terms of performance comparison between the two SoCs, we might only see a marginal difference of 100MHz, or perhaps no noticeable difference at all.

The Exynos 2500 is also expected to feature two Cortex-A730 cores operating at different frequencies, similar to the design of the Exynos 2400. In terms of low-power cores, it will continue to use the Cortex-A520, maintaining consistency with the Exynos 2400 configuration.

តាមពត៌មានចុងក្រោយពី wccftech បានបង្ហាញពីឈីប "ដែលជាក្តីសុបិន្ត" របស់ Samsung គឺ Exynos 2500 ដែលបានលេចធ្លាយពីលម្អិតខ្លះៗនៃការរៀបចំ។ ឈីប SoC នេះនឹងរក្សាប្រព័ន្ធបន្ទះ CPU ចំនួន 10 ដោយប្រើប្រាស់ប្រព័ន្ធ Cortex-X5 ថ្មី។

Exynos 2500 កំពុងតែសាកល្បងប្រព័ន្ធផ្សេងៗគ្នា ដោយសារតែការប្រើប្រាស់កូនកម្មវិធី Cortex-X ច្រើនពេកអាចនឹងបង្កឱ្យមានការប្រើប្រាស់ថាមពលខុសគ្នា។ ប៉ុន្តែតាមការកំណត់ចុងក្រោយ បន្ទះ CPU ចំនួន 10 នឹងរក្សារូបរាងដដែលៗបែបនេះប្រៀបធៀបនឹង Exynos 2400។
ប៉ុន្តែអ្វីដែលខុសគ្នាគឺថា Exynos 2500 អាចនឹងប្រើ Cortex-X5 និង Cortex-A730 ជំនួសឲ្យ Cortex-X4 និង Cortex-A720 របស់ Exynos 2400 ដែលអាចនឹងមានការលើកកម្ពស់សមត្ថភាពបន្តិចម្លេះ។ ប៉ុន្តែអកុសលណាស់ដែលកំរិតប្រេកង់រវាង Cortex-X5 និង Cortex-X4 គឺមានភាពខុសគ្នាតិចតួច ហើយមានលក្ខណៈជាក់

លាក់ដូចជា 3.20GHz និង 3.30GHz។
ដូច្នេះបើនិយាយអំពីការប្រៀបធៀបសមត្ថភាពរវាងឈីបទាំងពីរនេះ យើងអាចឃើញភាពខុសគ្នាតិចតួចត្រឹម 100MHz ឬក៏មិនអាចឃើញភាពខុសគ្នាទេ។
វឌ្ឍនភាពមួយទៀតរបស់ Exynos 2500 គឺអាចនឹងមានកូនកម្មវិធី Cortex-A730 ចំនួនពីរដែលដំណើរការនៅកម្រិតប្រេកង់ផ្សេងគ្នា ដូចទៅនឹងការរចនារបស់ Exynos 2400។ ប៉ុន្តែនៅលើផ្នែកកម្មវិធីដែលប្រើថាមពលទាប វានឹងបន្តប្រើ Cortex-A520 ដែលជាការកំណត់ដដែលៗជាមួយនឹង Exynos 2400។"
