Exactly the same way that Americans want the rest of the world to STAY AWAY from our elections, we should STAY AWAY from theirs also, INCLUDING their statements of how things are going, who is good or bad and such. Anybody who stops me from saying what I think, say or do is a dictator and communist of the highest degree and needs to be buried in LAWSUITS TILL THE DAY THEY GIVE UP!!! Take away their money and assets and they are just another bully in the playground wanting to make themselves look important instead of using their money to make this world a better place...the elites have enough money to keep those thousands of illegals from coming to the US by just giving them a better place to live where they come from instead of being in a foreign land where they are not wanted, don't speak the language and will eventually lose their traditions and cultures...they just want a better life. Why not give it to them? Before I could come to Hungary, I had to PROVE that I had health insurance, a place to live and the financial self-support needed to live here WITHOUT HANGING ON THE SOCIAL MONEY DRIP, Gary
Anyone watching what's going on in Myanmar Elections?

4:00 p.m. On World Press Freedom Day, Western embassies in Myanmar including those of the U.S. and U.K. collectively call for the immediate release of all detained journalists in the country, the establishment of freedom of information and communication, and an end to all internet restrictions. More than 80 journalists have been arrested since the Feb. 1 coup, with the majority still being detained, their statement says. "We will continue to promote and support a free and independent media as an integral dimension of good governance and human development," the embassies say.
3:30 p.m. Armed ethnic group Kachin Independence Army tells local outlet Mizzima Media that the KIA shot down a Myanmar military helicopter in the northern state of Kachin on Monday. Myanmar's military launched airstrikes this morning, and intense fighting has led to casualties on both sides, a KIA spokesperson says.
2:00 p.m. Myanmar's manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index for April, released by IHS Markit, rose to 33.0 in April from 27.5 in March. But it remains far below 50, indicating that managers' confidence continues to be negative. Production continues to decline, as many factories remain closed in key regions. "It's difficult to anticipate when the sector will return to growth, with many key investors suspending operations until the political situation stabilizes," IHS economist Shreeya Patel says. The nationwide protests led workers to return to their hometowns, while transportation difficulties cause delays in deliveries for manufacturers. The 12-month outlook deteriorated in April and was among the weakest in the index's history, the survey says.

Myanmar coup latest: Military plane crash in Mandalay kills 12
Thursday, June 10
11:10 p.m. The brother of detained Frontier Myanmar journalist Danny Fenster wants U.S. President Joe Biden to take direct action to free the American, thought to be held in Insein Prison since last month. "We have heard from everybody with the exception of the White House," Bryan Fenster says in an interview with NBC News. Danny Fenster managing editor of Frontier Myanmar, one of the country's top independent news sites was detained while preparing to fly to Malaysia.
10:00 p.m. Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, speaking by phone with Indonesian counterpart Retno Marsudi, calls for the implementation of the Five-Point Consensus on Myanmar announced at the April summit of leaders from Association of Southeast Asian Nations members. Motegi confirms Japan's continued support for ASEAN initiatives toward Myanmar including humanitarian assistance, and he cites the importance of Myanmar's junta releasing individuals held in detention, according to a readout from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
10:45 a.m. Local media outlet Irrawaddy reports that a plane crashed in the Mandalay region's township of Pyin Oo Lwin in the morning, killing 12 people. About 16 were on board, and one woman and a child were injured. The type of plane that went down and the cause of the crash remain unknown.
10:00 a.m. Khin Maung Zaw, one of lawyers in Aung San Suu Kyi's legal team, responds to a report in the official Global New Light newspaper, saying, "These accusations [of] bribery and corruption upon [Suu Kyi] are absurd. They are groundless," adding that the detained leader "might have defects, but personal greed and corruption [are] not her traits."The two ministers also agree to work together in responding to Myanmar's political situation.
9:30 a.m. Myanmar's state-run Global New Light newspaper reports that ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been charged with additional counts under the country's anti-corruption law, with the Anti-Corruption Commission accusing her of "illegally accepted $600,000 and 7 visses (11.2 kg) of gold from the former Yangon region's chief minister," and adding that she "misused her authority in renting 1.86 acres (0.55 hectare) of land and a building" to open a charitable foundation, which she chairs, resulting in losses to the country of more than 5.2 billion kyat ($3,150). The newspaper, which is seen as a mouthpiece of the junta, also says that two other former officials have been charged under the law.
