Catholic churches in the Philippines plan to ring their bells every night for the next three months (tue, aug 22) to raise alarm over the rising death toll in the country's war on drugs.


Meanwhile, in Australia, Filipino human-rights campaigner Ellecer Carlos, on a tour to raise awareness of the killings, says he now fears returning to his country.

It comes after threats from President Rodrigo Duterte himself.
