JAKARTA, Dec 22, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - A coach bus slammed into a barrier on an Indonesian highway early Monday, flipping over in an accident that killed at least 16 people, a rescue worker said. Footage shared by the agency showed rescuers moving a victim into a body bag as the nearby bus lay on its side. Transport accidents are common in Indonesia, a vast Southeast Asian archipelago where vehicles are often old and poorly maintained and road rules regularly flouted. In 2024, at least 12 people were killed when a car crashed into a bus and another car on a busy highway as people travelled to celebrate Eid al-Fitr. And in 2019, at least 35 people were killed when a bus plunged into a ravine on the western island of Sumatra.

KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 22, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Former Malaysian leader Najib Razak lost a bid Monday to have his jail term changed to house arrest, a setback ahead of a separate verdict this week tied to the country's 1MDB scandal.

Yalda falls on the winter solstice and is characterised by family gatherings and the eating of nuts, sweets and fruits. We reminisce about the good old days and eat nuts and fruits that are in season," said Mary Goudarzi, 37. "Unfortunately, because of recent events such as the war and the dollar price that's rising sharply, people's purchasing power has fallen a lot," said Goudarzi, an interior designer. 'Trying to cope'Some shopping centres in Tehran put up decorations for Yalda, including artificial trees adorned with hanging pomegranates or displaying huge plates of fruits linked to the festivities. Yalda historically marks the victory of Good over Evil, and is also marked in Persian-speaking areas of some regional countries such as Afghanistan and Tajikistan.
