Overview

• Parliament’s State Structure Standing Committee opened debate on removing the prime minister, then postponed the session to Monday at 11:00 to let party groups consolidate positions, drawing public criticism over the hearing’s tenor.
• Committee chair Ts. Sandag-Ochir said both sides sought time to align, while MP L. Gantumur argued the prime minister and speaker lack sufficient party backing and should step down.
• Ulaanbaatar’s mayor Kh. Nyambaatar said roughly 80 businesses heavily pollute the Tuul, about 20 have begun on-site pre-treatment, and a new central plant rated at 250,000 m3/day cannot solve contamination without industrial compliance and sludge management.
• City plans include cutting clean-water supply and ending wastewater service to major noncompliant polluters from 2027, using pollution fees to fund operations and a sludge-to-energy project slated to start construction in 2026, and expanding reuse work linked to Millennium Challenge investments.
• Media leaders at JEF-2025 called for stronger ethics, verification and media literacy in the AI era as Bolorsoft promoted its Mongolian-language “Eguune chat AI,” and forecasters warned of cooling with wet snow in northern regions and highs around 9–11°C in Ulaanbaatar before further decline.
