President Obama appears "hammered" or extremely tired during a press conference at the ASEAN meeting in Malaysia, where he vows to be "relentless" against terrorists. Meanwhile, tighter border controls in the Balkans cause massive traffic jams and strand thousands of migrants at the Greek-Macedonian frontier. The media is criticized for using repetitive "b-roll" footage that fails to capture the true scale of the migrant movement.

Meanwhile, South Korean President Park Geun-hye made statements regarding the peaceful unification of the Korean Peninsula during the ASEAN-Korea summit.

Asian leaders at a summit in Thailand have pledged to move toward an EU-style community by 2015, fulfilling a goal often attributed to the Trilateral Commission.

They predict that such unions will eventually lead to civil wars due to historical cultural animosities, such as those between the French and Germans.
