Russia's Medvedev warns of further steps after Moscow abandons missile moratorium

Sputnik/Alexei Maishev/Pool via REUTERS ATTENTION EDITORS - THIS IMAGE WAS PROVIDED BY A THIRD PARTY./File Photo/File Photo MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russian former President Dmitry Medvedev blamed NATO countries on Monday for the abandonment of a moratorium on short- and medium-range nuclear missiles and said Moscow would take further steps in response. Medvedev, who has been engaging in a exchange of acerbic barbs on social media with U.S. President Donald Trump, made his comments after Russia's Foreign Ministry said Moscow no longer considered itself bound by the moratorium on the deployment of short- and medium-range nuclear missiles. "The Russian Foreign Ministry's statement on the withdrawal of the moratorium on the deployment of medium- and short-range missiles is the result of NATO countries' anti-Russian policy," Medvedev posted in English on X. "This is a new reality all our opponents will have to reckon with. Expect further steps." Medvedev, who now serves as deputy head of Russia's powerful Security Council, did not elaborate. The U.S. withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty in 2019, citing Russian non-compliance. Russia has since said it would not deploy such weapons provided that Washington did not do so. However, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov signalled last December that Moscow would have to respond to what he called "destabilising actions" by the U.S. and NATO in the strategic sphere. "Since the situation is developing towards the actual deployment of U.S.-made land-based medium- and short-range missiles in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, the Russian Foreign Ministry notes that the conditions for maintaining a unilateral moratorium on the deployment of similar weapons have disappeared," the ministry said in its statement. The INF treaty, signed in 1987 by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev and U.S. President Ronald Reagan, eliminated an entire class of weapons -- ground-launched missiles with a range of 500 to 5,500 kilometres (311 to 3,418 miles). Medvedev, seen initially in the West as a potential moderate and reformer, has become one of the most hawkish senior officials on foreign policy in Moscow. Trump last Friday said he had ordered two nuclear submarines to be moved to "the appropriate regions" in response to remarks from Medvedev about the risk of war between the nuclear-armed adversaries.

South Korea pulls plug on AI textbooks, leaving schools, companies without funding for them
AI-powered textbooks are now not official South Korean textbooks, removing the legal and financial grounds for using them in schools. -- ST PHOTO: CHANG MAY CHOON SEOUL (The Korea Herald/ANN): South Korea's National Assembly passed a Bill on Monday (Aug 4) stripping artificial intelligence-powered digital textbooks of their legal status as official teaching materials, dealing a heavy blow to the previous Yoon Suk Yeol administration's flagship education reform project. The amendment narrows the legal definition of textbooks to printed books and e-books, excluding 'learning support software using intelligent information technology'. This reclassifies AI-powered textbooks as just another type of educational material, not official textbooks. The new classification takes effect immediately upon promulgation, effectively removing the legal and financial foundations for using AI digital textbooks in schools. The amendment, drafted and passed unilaterally by the ruling Democratic Party of Korea, is an updated version of the same legislation passed by the Assembly in 2024, which was ultimately scrapped after it was vetoed by then-deputy prime minister Choi Sang-mok, who was the country's acting president at the time. Initially launched as a flagship initiative of the Yoon administration, AI textbooks aimed to provide personalised learning experiences for students using advanced AI algorithms. At least 533.3 billion won (S$496 million) was allocated to the project in 2024 alone. The textbooks were piloted in the first semester of 2025 for English and mathematics classes in Grade 3 and Grade 4 of elementary school, and for English, mathematics, and computer science classes in middle and high schools. Despite the ambitious roll-out, the initiative faced widespread backlash from educators and parents, many of whom criticised the South Korean government for pushing the policy through without sufficient groundwork. In response, the South Korean Ministry of Education shifted to a school-by-school voluntary adoption model, after initially planning a nationwide mandate. Currently, the adoption rate of AI textbooks across schools hovers at around 30 per cent. The Bill's passage now leaves these schools without financial support for AI textbook subscriptions. A high school computer science teacher told The Korea Herald that although some schools secured subscription budgets for the second semester, future use is uncertain. 'Unless the textbooks retain their legal status, we won't be able to receive the necessary funding. It's now almost impossible to use them in class,' the teacher said. The publishing industry is also facing a looming crisis. Companies that invested heavily in AI textbook development, expecting the government to mandate their use, now say they are on the verge of collapse. Several companies filed an administrative lawsuit against the South Korean Education Ministry in April, citing losses due to low adoption rates and policy flip-flopping. Industry representatives warn that without the legal textbook designation, usage rates could drop further, jeopardising the estimated 800 billion won in total investments made into AI textbooks. Layoffs and restructuring are now expected across the sector. A worker in her 30s from a major textbook publisher said her department may soon disappear. 'Many companies hired researchers and engineers to develop AI textbooks. Now, with education policy changing depending on who holds political power, we risk not only losing our jobs but also degrading the quality of education itself,' she said. Publishers have been staging a last-ditch push to reverse public sentiment and policy. Fourteen publishing companies have taken turns holding solo protests outside the National Assembly, while others have visited the Democratic Party of Korea's headquarters demanding reconsideration of the Bill. The South Korean Education Ministry has yet to present a concrete roadmap for winding down the AI textbook programme. A spokesperson said the ministry would suspend the current textbook review process, prepare guidance for schools to prevent disruption in the autumn semester, and consult with regional education offices to minimise confusion. -- THE KOREA HERALD/ASIA NEWS NETWORK

Don't politicise school flag incident, says Loke
SEREMBAN: Transport Minister Anthony Loke has expressed hope that no parties will attempt to politicise the issue involving the upside-down display of the Jalur Gemilang at a school in Port Dickson recently. He said the Education Ministry is currently investigating the matter to determine whether the mistake was intentionally done or otherwise. "Every time such an issue arises (incorrect display of the Jalur Gemilang), there will be some who try to politicise it. "However, we should allow the ministry to carry out its investigation and determine whether it was done intentionally or not, as the Jalur Gemilang is a symbol of national identity and must be treated with pride and respect. "As such, there is no need for anyone to exploit this issue for political gain," he said after launching the Merdeka Month celebrations for the Seremban parliamentary constituency at a school here today. Yesterday, SJKC Chung Hua in Port Dickson issued a public apology over the upside-down display of the Jalur Gemilang at its premises on Friday. The school board, Parent-Teacher Association and school administration, in a joint statement, expressed deep regret over the incident, which they described as an unintentional mistake. They said the incident occurred on Aug 1 when a school worker mistakenly installed one of the flags upside down. Meanwhile, Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek said the ministry would take firm action once it receives the full investigation report on the matter. She said the incident was serious, as all parties had been repeatedly reminded of the importance and sensitivity of the national flag. Commenting further, Loke, who is also the Seremban member of parliament, said the Jalur Gemilang must be displayed correctly and respectfully. "We have reminded everyone that when raising the Jalur Gemilang, it must be done properly and with respect. Sensitivity is important. "However, mistakes can sometimes happen unintentionally, and we leave it to the ministry to investigate," he said.
