Today's ডাক is here. 🦆🦆

Dating apps are wild, but imagine falling for an astronaut romance scam. An 80-something Japanese woman got scammed out of ¥1M ($6.7k) after falling for a “male astronaut” online. The guy claimed he was “in space under attack” and needed money… for oxygen.

Lesson: if someone DMs you from outer space, maybe… don’t answer.

Good Morning, People.

📜 Implementing july charter

National Consensus Commission is considering a Special Constitutional Order to implement the constitutional amendments proposed in the July Charter. This order would be a key legal mechanism to enact reforms without relying solely on a future parliament, as some experts had suggested. The commission has asked a legal expert to draft a detailed proposal on the order's scope and legal basis, aiming to send the final charter and implementation plan to political parties soon.

This approach comes after the commission discarded other potential methods, such as holding a referendum or seeking an advisory opinion from the Supreme Court. While many of the charter's 84 proposals can be implemented through ordinances or executive orders, the constitutional changes are the most complex. The Special Constitutional Order is seen as a way to address this legal and political challenge, fulfilling the commission's goal of implementing the charter during the interim government's tenure.

The Special Constitutional Order would function as a temporary, extraordinary legal instrument to give the charter's provisions a legal footing. However, its effectiveness is still a subject of debate. While it would provide a path forward, legal experts note that any ordinance or order must still be passed by the next parliament to become permanent law.

💸 Inflation eased to 8.29% in August, the lowest in over three years, according to BBS data. The decline was driven by a sharp fall in non-food inflation, though food prices — from rice to eggs — remain high and continue to strain households. Analysts say the interim government’s 6.5% inflation target for FY26 still looks difficult to achieve.

‼️ Govt has ordered Palli Bidyut Samity employees to return to work within 24 hours or face legal action under the Essential Services Act.

🚨 Russia unleashed over 800 drones and missiles on Ukraine, striking civilian infrastructure and for the first time, a key government building in Kyiv. The attack, which left at least four people dead, including an infant, and dozens more injured, comes as international efforts for a peace deal seem to be faltering.

💵 EU just hit Google with a $3.45 billion antitrust fine for favoring its own ad-tech services. Regulators gave the company 60 days to “bring these self-preferencing practices to an end”, warning of tougher measures if it fails. Trump criticized the fine as "unfair" and threatened to start a trade investigation to "nullify the unfair penalties."

🚨 Israel's Supreme Court has ruled that the government is not providing sufficient food to Palestinian prisoners. The Israeli military also intercepted drones fired from Yemen's Houthi rebels, who have vowed to avenge a previous Israeli airstrike. Separately, President Trump has issued a "last warning" to Hamas to accept a Gaza ceasefire deal. The Global Sumud Flotilla is continuing on its way to Gaza, trying to break the Israeli blockade on the Palestinian enclave, where a famine has been declared. Vessels arrived in Tunis on Sunday, September 7, the last stop on their journey before continuing on to Gaza.

🚓 Hundreds of South Korean workers were detained in a massive U.S. immigration raid at a Hyundai-LG battery plant in Georgia. The raid, which officials called the "largest single-site enforcement operation" in two decades, saw over 475 people arrested, most of whom were South Korean nationals. The U.S. claims the workers were in violation of their visas, which did not permit manual labor, but the move has strained diplomatic relations between the two countries. South Korea has since reached a deal with the U.S. to secure the release and return of the detained workers.
