Poland’s Supreme Court, Yemenis in South Korea, Independence Day in the Philippines
Supreme Court President Malgorzata Gersdorf walks to the Supreme Court building, next to supporters, in Warsaw, Poland on July 4, 2018.
The Polish right-wing ruling party has forced out nearly half of its Supreme Court justices, and there’s real concern that Poland may be sliding toward authoritarianism. Also, in recent months hundreds of Yemenis fleeing war have ended up on Jeju Island, off the coast of South Korea. And the Philippines once celebrated independence on the Fourth of July.
