Kapal persiaran didakwa tinggalkan wanita 80 tahun tertinggal di pulau, anak perempuan tuntut jawapan selepas kematian

(SeaPRwire) - Anak perempuan seorang wanita berusia 80 tahun yang ditemui meninggal dunia selepas didakwa ditinggalkan oleh kapal persiaran ibunya baru-baru ini menuntut siasatan ke atas kematian ibunya, menyifatkan insiden itu "kegagalan penjagaan dan akal budi."Suzanne Rees, yang sedang mengambil bahagian dalam pelayaran, ditemui meninggal dunia pada hari Ahad selepas dilaporkan hilang pada malam Sabtu.Rees kali terakhir dilihat dalam lawatan mendaki kumpulan di Lizard Island, kira-kira 200 batu ke utara Cairns, tetapi tidak kembali ke kapal persiaran Coral Adventurer—yang berlepas kira-kira jam 6 petang pada hari Sabtu.Saksi-saksi berkata mereka mendengar kekecohan di radio dan melihat kapal itu kembali ke pulau itu melalui penjejak kapal.Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), pengawal selia keselamatan maritim kebangsaan Australia, memberitahu Fox News Digital bahawa mereka dimaklumkan mengenai insiden itu oleh kapal tersebut kira-kira jam 10 malam waktu tempatan Sabtu, mendorong AMSA untuk memulakan tindakan.Jurucakap AMSA berkata mereka membantu Queensland Police dalam pencarian, dan terus bekerjasama rapat dengan pihak berkuasa Queensland, termasuk Queensland Police dan WorkSafe Queensland."AMSA akan membuat penilaian sama ada terdapat sebarang ketidakpatuhan yang berkaitan dengan penumpang tidak dikira semasa menaiki kapal dan, jika perlu, akan mengambil tindakan untuk menanganinya," tulis jurucakap itu dalam satu kenyataan. "AMSA berhasrat untuk menjalankan siasatan di atas kapal apabila ia tiba di Darwin. Kami sedang menyiasat keadaan di sekeliling mengapa penumpang mungkin tidak diambil kira semasa menaiki kapal. AMSA mengucapkan takziah kepada keluarga dan orang tersayang si mati. Kami bersama mereka dalam masa yang sukar ini."Anak perempuan Rees, Katherine, memberitahu ABC "daripada sedikit yang telah kami diberitahu, nampaknya terdapat kegagalan penjagaan dan akal budi.""Kami faham daripada pihak polis bahawa hari itu sangat panas, dan ibu berasa tidak sihat semasa mendaki bukit. Dia diminta untuk turun, tanpa diiringi," kata Katherine kepada saluran berita itu. "Kemudian kapal itu berlepas, nampaknya tanpa melakukan pengiraan penumpang."Keluarga itu dilaporkan berkata mereka berharap untuk mengetahui sama ada kematian Rees dapat dicegah.Coroner's Court of Queensland pada hari Rabu mengesahkan kepada ABC bahawa kematian Rees "dirujuk kepada koroner untuk siasatan."Setelah siasatan koroner selesai, keputusan akan dibuat mengenai pelancaran inkues ke atas kematian itu.AMSA berkata butiran mengenai masa ketibaan kapal dan langkah seterusnya AMSA tidak tersedia, kerana siasatan masih aktif."Pasukan Coral telah berhubung dengan keluarga wanita itu, dan kami akan terus menawarkan sokongan kepada mereka melalui proses sukar ini," lapor CEO Coral Expeditions Mark Fifield dalam satu kenyataan. "Walaupun siasatan terhadap insiden itu masih berterusan, kami amat kesal kerana ini berlaku dan menawarkan sokongan penuh kami kepada keluarga wanita itu."Pengendalian kapal itu dikawal selia dan tertakluk kepada undang-undang tempat kerja yang berkaitan, menurut AMSA.Pilar Arias dari Fox News Digital menyumbang kepada laporan ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Penunjuk perasaan Ultra-Ortodoks di Baitulmaqdis berhimpun membantah pengecualian draf tentera Israel ketika pertempuran tercetus kewangan

Penunjuk perasaan Ultra-Ortodoks di Baitulmaqdis berhimpun membantah pengecualian draf tentera Israel ketika pertempuran tercetus

(SeaPRwire) - Dianggarkan 200,000 penunjuk perasaan Ultra-Ortodoks berkumpul di Baitulmaqdis pada Khamis, menentang draf ketenteraan negara itu, menyebabkan puluhan cedera semasa konfrontasi dengan polis. Perkhidmatan kecemasan Israel, Magen David Adom, melaporkan 56 orang cedera. Seorang pegawai polis turut cedera selepas dilempar batu oleh penunjuk perasaan. Perhimpunan itu menutup jalan-jalan utama menuju ke ibu negara, apabila penunjuk perasaan dari seluruh negara berkumpul untuk menentang usaha mengerah lelaki ultra-Ortodoks, atau Haredi, ke dalam Israel Defense Forces. Kadang-kala, demonstrasi itu bertukar ganas apabila pegawai bertindak membersihkan lebuh raya yang terhalang dan mengembalikan ketenteraman.Punca utama kekacauan ini ialah pengecualian lama yang membenarkan lelaki ultra-Ortodoks yang belajar sepenuh masa di seminari agama untuk mengelakkan perkhidmatan ketenteraan — dasar yang dianggap ramai warga Israel sangat tidak adil.Perkhidmatan ketenteraan adalah wajib bagi kebanyakan lelaki dan wanita Yahudi, tetapi Yahudi Haredi secara sejarahnya dikecualikan, satu keistimewaan yang wujud sejak penubuhan Israel. Mereka berpendapat bahawa cara hidup mereka — yang berpusat pada pengajian Taurat dan komuniti agama — tidak sesuai dengan perkhidmatan ketenteraan penuh. Mereka bimbang bahawa kerahan tenaga akan menjejaskan identiti agama mereka, mendedahkan mereka kepada nilai-nilai sekular, dan menghakis struktur komuniti unik yang telah mereka bina.Dengan peperangan di pelbagai medan sejak dua tahun lalu, tentera menghadapi kekurangan tenaga manusia yang semakin meningkat, mendorong usaha baharu untuk menamatkan pengecualian itu. Mahkamah Agung memutuskan tahun lalu bahawa pengaturan itu tidak berperlembagaan, mengarahkan kerajaan untuk meluluskan undang-undang kerahan tenaga yang baharu.Keputusan itu telah menggugat gabungan Perdana Menteri Benjamin Netanyahu. Parti-parti beliau — parti Shas dan United Torah Judaism — keluar dari kerajaan pada Julai, menuduhnya mengkhianati pangkalan agama mereka. Parlimen masih belum mencapai persetujuan mengenai kompromi yang boleh diterima oleh kepimpinan Haredi dan juga pihak tentera.Pemimpin pembangkang mengutuk keganasan itu. Yair Lapid menulis di X, "Jika anda boleh berarak di jalanan, anda boleh berarak dalam latihan asas dan mempertahankan Negara Israel." Benny Gantz menambah, merujuk kepada video seorang wartawan wanita diserang, "Tiada apa-apa yang bersifat Yahudi tentang tingkah laku ini."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Lebih 100 terbunuh dalam serbuan polis paling mematikan di Brazil ketika pihak berkuasa Rio memerangi kumpulan dadah di kawasan setinggan kewangan

Lebih 100 terbunuh dalam serbuan polis paling mematikan di Brazil ketika pihak berkuasa Rio memerangi kumpulan dadah di kawasan setinggan

(SeaPRwire) - Sekurang-kurangnya 132 orang, termasuk empat pegawai penguatkuasa undang-undang, terbunuh pada Selasa semasa serbuan besar-besaran polis Brazil di , menurut laporan media.Operasi itu, yang berlaku di favela-favela bandar raya itu — kawasan kejiranan miskin yang lama dilanda jenayah terancang — adalah yang paling berdarah dalam sejarah Rio, lapor BBC. Pihak berkuasa berkata serbuan itu menyasarkan kumpulan pengedar dadah yang terus mengawal kawasan luas bandar raya itu, dengan objektif menyasarkan organisasi Comando Vermelho yang berpengaruh, atau "Red Command", yang mengawal kawasan luas bandar raya itu.Pejabat pembela awam tempatan mengumumkan angka kematian, walaupun Gabenor negeri Rio, Cláudio Castro, memberi amaran bahawa kerja forensik masih dijalankan. Beliau berkata jumlah rasmi yang diterimanya ialah 58 kematian tetapi menambah ia "pasti akan berubah.""Sejujurnya dengan anda, konflik itu bukan di kawasan binaan — semuanya di dalam hutan," kata Castro. "Jadi saya tidak percaya sesiapa pun hanya bersiar-siar di dalam hutan pada hari konflik. Dan itulah sebabnya kami boleh mengklasifikasikan mereka dengan mudah."Pihak berkuasa berkata didakwa menggunakan dron untuk menjatuhkan bahan letupan ke atas pegawai polis semasa operasi dijalankan."Beginilah cara polis Rio dilayan oleh penjenayah: dengan bom yang dijatuhkan oleh dron. Inilah skala cabaran yang kita hadapi. Ini bukan jenayah biasa, tetapi keganasan narkotik," kata Castro.Presiden Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva menyatakan kejutan atas pembunuhan itu dan berkata beliau terkejut bahawa kerajaan persekutuan tidak dimaklumkan mengenai serbuan itu terlebih dahulu.Di X, yang dahulunya Twitter, Castro berkata serbuan itu telah dirancang selama lebih dua bulan berikutan siasatan setahun dan bahawa "senario yang dihadapi adalah yang telah dijangkakan."Beliau juga memberi penghormatan kepada yang terbunuh semasa operasi itu."Marcus Vinícius Cardoso de Carvalho, pesuruhjaya Balai Polis ke-53; Rodrigo Velloso Cabral, dari Balai Polis ke-39; dan Cleiton Serafim Gonçalves serta Heber Carvalho da Fonseca, kedua-duanya sarjan BOPE, telah mengorbankan nyawa mereka dalam menunaikan tugas melindungi penduduk Fluminense," tulis gabenor itu.Pada hari Rabu, pejabat Castro berkata 113 orang telah ditangkap, 10 remaja ditahan dan pihak berkuasa merampas 91 raifal, 29 pistol, 14 alat letupan dan satu tan kokain.Serbuan maut itu telah memperbaharui perdebatan di Brazil mengenai taktik polis, hak asasi manusia, dan perjuangan berterusan kerajaan untuk mengawal kumpulan-kumpulan berpengaruh yang berakar umbi dalam komuniti miskin Rio.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Keuntungan Suku Ketiga Samsung Melonjak 160% Berita

Keuntungan Suku Ketiga Samsung Melonjak 160%

(SeaPRwire) - Samsung Electronics melaporkan lonjakan keuntungan suku ketiga sebanyak 160% yang luar biasa, didorong oleh pemulihan kukuh dalam perniagaan semikonduktornya. Perubahan positif ini berlaku selepas tempoh mencabar yang ditandai dengan kemerosotan ketara dalam permintaan cip, yang telah menjejaskan pendapatan syarikat. Prestasi gergasi teknologi Korea Selatan ini pada suku ini menekankan daya tahan strategik dan kebolehsuaiannya dalam menghadapi turun naik pasaran. Bahagian semikonduktor, tunjang utama operasi Samsung, mengalami pemulihan apabila permintaan global untuk cip memori meningkat. Permintaan ini didorong oleh kemajuan dalam kecerdasan buatan, teknologi 5G, dan pengkomputeran awan, yang kesemuanya memerlukan kapasiti memori yang besar. Keupayaan Samsung untuk memanfaatkan trend ini telah menyumbang dengan ketara kepada kejayaan kewangannya pada suku ini. Selain daripada perniagaan cip, bahagian elektronik pengguna Samsung juga menunjukkan prestasi yang baik, dengan jualan kukuh dalam telefon pintar dan perkakas rumah. Barisan telefon pintar Galaxy terbaharu telah diterima dengan sangat baik di pasaran, seterusnya meningkatkan aliran pendapatan syarikat. Walaupun dengan keputusan positif ini, Samsung kekal berhati-hati mengenai masa depan, dengan mengambil kira cabaran berpotensi seperti ketegangan geopolitik dan keadaan ekonomi global yang tidak menentu. Syarikat ini secara proaktif menangani risiko-risiko ini dengan mempelbagaikan portfolio perniagaannya dan melabur dalam penyelidikan dan pembangunan untuk mengekalkan kelebihan daya saingnya. Fokus strategik Samsung terhadap inovasi dan kelestarian jelas kelihatan dalam inisiatif terbarunya untuk mengurangkan pelepasan karbon dan meningkatkan kecekapan tenaga merentasi proses pengeluarannya. Usaha-usaha ini selaras dengan matlamat kelestarian global dan memenuhi permintaan pengguna yang semakin meningkat untuk produk yang bertanggungjawab terhadap alam sekitar. Saham syarikat, yang tersenarai di Korea Exchange sebagai KRX:005930, telah bertindak balas secara positif terhadap laporan pendapatan, mencerminkan keyakinan pelabur terhadap prospek pertumbuhan jangka panjang Samsung. Ketika landskap teknologi global terus berkembang, Samsung berada dalam kedudukan yang baik untuk memanfaatkan kepakaran teknologinya dan kepimpinan pasarannya untuk merebut peluang baharu. Secara ringkasnya, prestasi suku ketiga Samsung yang mengagumkan menonjolkan daya tahan dan pandangan strategiknya dalam mengharungi cabaran pasaran. Pemulihan perniagaan cip, digabungkan dengan jualan kukuh dalam elektronik pengguna, telah meletakkan asas yang kukuh untuk pertumbuhan masa depan. Ketika Samsung terus berinovasi dan menyesuaikan diri dengan dinamik pasaran yang berubah, ia kekal sebagai pemain yang tangguh dalam industri teknologi global.

Kemarahan tercetus apabila mahkamah Sweden enggan mengusir perogol disabit kesalahan, PM janji tindakan keras kewangan

Kemarahan tercetus apabila mahkamah Sweden enggan mengusir perogol disabit kesalahan, PM janji tindakan keras

(SeaPRwire) - Keputusan mahkamah rayuan untuk tidak mengusir seorang perogol yang disabitkan kesalahan kerana serangannya terhadap seorang gadis berusia 16 tahun tidak dianggap "terlalu serius" telah mencetuskan kemarahan, menyemarakkan bantahan terhadap sistem keadilan Sweden.Mahkamah Rayuan untuk Norrland utara mengesahkan kepada Digital bahawa defendan, seorang warga Eritrea dan pendatang tanpa izin, Yezied Mohamed, dijatuhi hukuman tiga tahun penjara kerana merogol gadis berusia 16 tahun dari bandar utara Skellefteå, pada 1 September 2024. Mahkamah mengakui bahawa walaupun jenayah itu serius, ia tidak memenuhi ambang untuk pengusiran kerana sifat dan tempohnya yang singkat.Keputusan itu mencetuskan kutukan pantas daripada Perdana Menteri Ulf Kristersson, yang mengeluarkan janji undang-undang pengusiran yang lebih ketat. "Tiada sesiapa pun patut risau bertemu penyerang atau perogol mereka di jalanan," kata Kristersson. "Mereka yang melakukan jenayah serius di Sweden dan bukan warganegara Sweden akan dihantar pulang."Dalam respons bertulis kepada Digital, Hakim Lars Viktorsson berkata mahkamah mempertimbangkan kedua-dua sifat dan tempoh perbuatan itu, menyatakan tiada penggunaan senjata, dan tiada persetubuhan, dan bahawa "tempoh insiden itu adalah singkat." "Adalah benar bahawa tempoh rogol adalah penting dalam penilaian perkara pengusiran," Viktorsson menyatakan, "Namun, sifat kesalahan itu sama pentingnya."Kristersson berjanji untuk memperkenalkan "undang-undang paling ketat di semua negara Nordik," menyatakan bahawa sebarang jenayah yang mengakibatkan lebih daripada denda boleh membawa kepada pengusiran. "Dengan peraturan baharu yang lebih ketat ini, enam kali ganda lebih ramai orang dijangka akan diusir. Kami melangkah lebih jauh daripada mana-mana kerajaan pernah lakukan sebelum ini."Menteri Migrasi Johan Forssell menyuarakan sentimen perdana menteri dalam video yang disiarkannya di X, menyifatkan kes itu tidak boleh diterima. "Hak mangsa untuk keselamatan sentiasa mengatasi hak pelaku untuk kekal di Sweden," katanya. "Tahun depan saya akan membentangkan undang-undang baharu yang akan menjadikan Sweden negara paling ketat di rantau Nordik dalam hal pengusiran berkaitan jenayah.""Kami juga perlu mengkaji semula konvensyen antarabangsa yang, sehingga kini, telah menyukarkan pelaksanaan pengusiran yang perlu. . . . Ini adalah mengenai keadilan, dan tentang memberikan mangsa maruah dan penutupan yang sewajarnya," katanya.Mahkamah Daerah pada mulanya membebaskannya, menerima bahawa rogol telah berlaku tetapi mendapati bukti tidak mencukupi bahawa dia adalah pelakunya. Selepas rayuan, Mahkamah Rayuan membatalkan keputusan itu, membuat kesimpulan bahawa Mohamed sepadan dengan penerangan yang diberikan oleh mangsa dan seorang saksi, dan bahawa bukti forensik meletakkannya berhampiran tempat kejadian.Mahkamah menjatuhkan hukuman tiga tahun penjara kepadanya, hukuman minimum untuk rogol di Sweden, dan memerintahkannya membayar 240,000 krona Sweden, kira-kira $25,600, sebagai ganti rugi. Ia memutuskan bahawa walaupun kesalahan itu serius, ia tidak "bersifat terlalu serius" untuk mewajarkan pengusiran di bawah perlindungan pelarian. Seorang hakim membantah, berhujah bahawa dia harus diusir.Keputusan itu menarik perhatian global selepas catatan media sosial mendakwa Mohamed tidak diusir kerana rogol itu "berlangsung kurang dari sepuluh minit." Walaupun tiada tempoh masa tertentu muncul dalam penghakiman, mahkamah mengesahkan bahawa tempoh adalah salah satu faktor dalam penilaiannya.Wartawan Sweden Christian Peterson memberitahu Digital bahawa perkataan dalam keputusan itu — merujuk kepada "sifat dan tempoh" perbuatan itu — "menjadi titik cetusan kemarahan awam.""Hakim-hakim sendiri menentukan aspek-aspek jenayah mana yang relevan dan sama ada ia cukup serius untuk mewajarkan pengusiran," kata Peterson. "Itulah yang menjadikan keputusan ini sangat kontroversi."Satu catatan oleh pengulas Sweden Evelina Hahne, yang dilihat hampir 10 juta kali dan dikongsi oleh Elon Musk, menuduh mahkamah Sweden bersikap lunak terhadap pendatang dan menyemarakkan semula perdebatan seluruh negara mengenai jenayah dan imigrasi.Peterson berkata kes itu menyerlahkan isu yang lebih luas: kesukaran Sweden untuk mengusir pendatang walaupun selepas sabitan serius."Di Sweden, sangat sukar untuk mengusir pendatang, malah mereka yang disabitkan dengan jenayah serius," katanya. "Kes ini menjadi simbolik kerana orang ramai merasakan ia menunjukkan bagaimana sistem melindungi pesalah lebih daripada mangsa."Beliau menyatakan kes-kes serupa, termasuk pembunuhan Elin Krantz pada 2016, seorang wanita muda yang dibunuh oleh seorang lelaki Ethiopia dengan permit kediaman, dan laporan terkini rogol di rumah penjagaan warga emas yang melibatkan pekerja kelahiran asing."Hanya selepas gabungan sayap kanan mengambil alih kuasa pada 2022 barulah reformasi bermakna mula terbentuk," kata Peterson. "Sebelum itu, isu itu dianggap terlalu sensitif dari segi politik."Namun, katanya, "Sweden tidak menyertai inisiatif Denmark-Itali dalam konteks untuk pembaharuan Konvensyen Eropah mengenai Hak Asasi Manusia, yang menurut pengkritik mengehadkan kemampuan untuk mengusir pesalah yang disabitkan kesalahan. Denmark, Itali dan Austria menandatangani — Sweden tidak."Ketika kemarahan awam memuncak, kerajaan Sweden menghadapi tekanan untuk melaksanakan dasar yang lebih keras.Hakim Viktorsson memberitahu Digital bahawa mahkamah mengikut undang-undang dan duluan yang sedia ada, "tetapi kuasa untuk mengubah piawaian pengusiran terletak pada penggubal undang-undang."

Saham Microsoft Merosot Di Tengah Keuntungan Positif Berita

Saham Microsoft Merosot Di Tengah Keuntungan Positif

(SeaPRwire) - Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) baru-baru ini menerbitkan laporan pendapatan suku tahunannya, memaparkan angka hasil yang mengagumkan yang melangkaui jangkaan Wall Street. Walaupun prestasi kewangan yang kukuh ini, saham syarikat mengalami penurunan yang tidak dijangka, mendorong penganalisis untuk menilai semula penarafan dan unjuran semasa mereka. Pelabur terkejut dengan reaksi pasaran, kerana laporan pendapatan mendedahkan peningkatan ketara dalam kedua-dua hasil dan margin keuntungan. Penganalisis mengaitkan penurunan harga saham kepada pelbagai faktor, termasuk ketidaktentuan pasaran dan kebimbangan ekonomi yang lebih luas, yang nampaknya telah menenggelamkan keputusan kewangan positif syarikat. Bahagian pengkomputeran awan Microsoft, Azure, terus menunjukkan pertumbuhan yang teguh, menyumbang dengan ketara kepada pendapatan keseluruhan syarikat. Prestasi segmen ini dilihat sebagai pemacu utama pertumbuhan masa depan Microsoft, dengan ramai penganalisis mengekalkan pandangan positif terhadap potensi jangka panjangnya. Meskipun reaksi awal pasaran, beberapa penganalisis sedang mempertimbangkan untuk menaik taraf penarafan mereka untuk Microsoft, memetik pelaburan strategik syarikat dalam kecerdasan buatan dan teknologi awan sebagai petunjuk menjanjikan pertumbuhan yang berterusan. Bidang-bidang ini dijangka memainkan peranan penting dalam membentuk kelebihan daya saing syarikat dalam sektor teknologi. Penurunan harga saham Microsoft baru-baru ini mungkin menawarkan peluang pembelian bagi pelabur yang percaya pada prospek jangka panjang syarikat. Walau bagaimanapun, ia juga menonjolkan ketidaktentuan intrinsik pasaran saham dan faktor-faktor kompleks yang boleh mempengaruhi sentimen pelabur. Ketika Microsoft terus berinovasi dan mengembangkan penawaran produknya, syarikat itu kekal berada dalam kedudukan yang baik untuk memanfaatkan trend yang muncul dalam industri teknologi. Laporan pendapatan baru-baru ini berfungsi sebagai bukti daya tahan dan kebolehsuaiannya dalam landskap pasaran yang berubah dengan pantas. Kesimpulannya, walaupun reaksi segera terhadap laporan pendapatan Microsoft tidaklah sebaik yang dijangka, prestasi kewangan yang kukuh dan inisiatif strategik syarikat menunjukkan masa depan yang cerah. Pelabur dan penganalisis sama-sama akan memantau rapat kemajuan Microsoft dalam beberapa bulan akan datang, memandangkan ia berusaha untuk mengekalkan statusnya sebagai pemimpin dalam pasaran teknologi global.

Red Cross menerima dua keranda tebusan maut di Semenanjung Gaza, IDF berkata

(SeaPRwire) - Israel berkata pada Khamis bahawa Red Cross memberikan maklumat yang menunjukkan "dua keranda tebusan yang meninggal dunia telah dipindahkan ke dalam jagaan mereka dan sedang dalam perjalanan kepada pasukan IDF di Semenanjung Gaza."Dalam pengumumannya, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) mengulangi tuntutannya agar Hamas menyerahkan jenazah semua tebusan yang meninggal dunia.Israel berkata pada awal Khamis bahawa ia telah menerima maklumat yang menunjukkan bahawa Red Cross sedang dalam perjalanan ke titik pertemuan di tengah Semenanjung Gaza untuk mengambil keranda yang mengandungi jenazah tebusan yang meninggal dunia . Pejabat Perdana Menteri Benjamin Netanyahu mengesahkan bahawa keranda-keranda itu sedang dalam perjalanan ke Israel dengan menyatakan bahawa "Semua keluarga tebusan telah dimaklumkan sewajarnya, dan hati kami bersama mereka dalam saat sukar ini. Usaha untuk mengembalikan tebusan kami sedang berjalan dan tidak akan berhenti sehingga tebusan terakhir dikembalikan."Pejabat Netanyahu berkata ia akan terus memberikan kemas kini "seperti yang diperlukan."Pada Selasa, dapat diketahui bahawa keranda yang diserahkan kepada Israel dinilai mengandungi jenazah seorang tebusan yang jenazahnya telah dibawa untuk dikebumikan. Jenazah itu kemudiannya dikenal pasti sebagai Ofir Tzarfati, yang jenazahnya pertama kali ditemui pada 2023.Hostages and Missing Families Forum berkata bahawa sebahagian daripada jenazah Tzarfati telah dikembalikan pada Mac 2024 dan bahawa pada Ogos 2024, Hamas menerbitkan foto jenazahnya."Ini adalah kali ketiga kami terpaksa membuka kubur Ofir dan mengebumikan semula anak kami," kata keluarga Tzarfati dalam satu kenyataan. "Lingkaran itu kononnya 'tertutup' pada Disember 2023, tetapi ia tidak pernah benar-benar tertutup. Sejak itu, kami hidup dengan luka yang sentiasa terbuka semula, antara ingatan dan kerinduan, antara kesedihan dan misi."Jika kedua-dua keranda disahkan mengandungi jenazah tebusan yang meninggal dunia, masih ada 11 lagi yang jenazahnya masih belum ditemui, mungkin termasuk dua warganegara A.S., Itay Chen dan Omer Neutra. Setakat ini, Israel telah menerima jenazah 15 daripada 28 tebusan yang meninggal dunia.Tebusan-tebusan yang jenazahnya telah dikembalikan termasuk Aryeh Zalmanovich, Sarjan Mejar (Simpanan) Tamir Adar, Sarjan Staf Tal Haimi, Suntaya Akrasi, Ronen Tommy Engel, Eliyahu Margalit, Uriel Baruch, Sarjan Staf Tamir Nimrodi, Eitan Levi, Daniel Peretz, Yossi Sharabi, Guy Illuz, Bipin Joshi, Inbar Hayman dan Sarjan Mejar Muhammad Al-Atresh.Ini adalah berita yang sedang berkembang.

MHI Thermal Systems Launches Two New Models of Air-to-Water Heat Pumps Using Natural Refrigerant R290 for European Market JCN Newswire

MHI Thermal Systems Launches Two New Models of Air-to-Water Heat Pumps Using Natural Refrigerant R290 for European Market

Hydrolution EZY SeriesTOKYO, October 30, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd. (MHI Thermal Systems), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has added two new models to its "Hydrolution EZY" series of air-to-water (ATW) heat pumps for the European market that utilize R290 (propane). This is a natural refrigerant with low environmental impact and high energy efficiency. The new models have capacities of 6kW and 7.1kW and are scheduled for release this winter.ATW heat pumps extract heat from the air to supply cold and hot water for domestic water supply, heating, and cooling, replacing traditional fossil-fueled boilers.The models added to the lineup are monobloc types in which the water heat exchanger is housed in an outdoor unit, with only water piping required. Compared to split-type ATWs, which require the refrigerant pipe connections between an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, installation is easier.The R290 refrigerant used in these models has a very low environmental impact(*1) while retaining high energy efficiency. This is particularly important for the European market, as environmental regulations are tightened.Modifications that allow the use of R290 also enable the units to maintain a flow temperature of 75 in a wide range of environments, from an outside temperature of -25 to 43 meaning the unit can be relied upon for heating and domestic hot water applications even in the coldest regions. These latest models, in addition to high-temperature water-heating capabilities, are silent and easy to install, with only water piping and an electricity supply to the outdoor unit required. When operating at maximum capacity, the 6kW model has a sound pressure level, a measure of noise intensity, of just 34dB(A)(*2). The unit also has a quiet mode for reduced operating noise, providing flexibility to comply with noise regulations in densely populated residential areas.In addition, as a safety measure, the units are equipped with a refrigerant leak detection sensor. In the event of a leak, the unit will stop running, and a fan engaged to dissipate any escaped refrigerant.In order to better integrate into a range of installation environments across Europe, including residential areas, the models have been visually redesigned with an understated, modern appearance. The front of the now all-black unit is fitted with a fan guard accented with a silver vertical line and is designed to make it difficult to see the fan from an oblique direction.By promoting the transition from boiler combustion using fossil fuels that emit high concentrations of CO2, to ATW using electricity, Hydrolution EZY can make a significant contribution to carbon neutrality in European countries, and the achievement of MHI Group's MISSION NET ZERO.In October 2021, MHI Group announced its MISSION NET ZERO declaration to achieve carbon neutrality across the entire corporate group by 2040 by reducing CO2 emissions from its own plants and other production-related facilities, as well as through reductions in the CO2 emissions at customer facilities that use MHI Group products.Going forward, MHI Thermal Systems will continue to develop environmentally friendly technologies and products that take advantage of the breadth of the refrigeration and heating sector, and contribute to carbon neutrality in Europe and countries around the world.(*1) R290 has a global warming potential (GWP) of only 0.02. Global Warming Potential (GWP) is a coefficient expressing the greenhouse effect of a gas relative to carbon dioxide (CO2), which has a fixed GWP of 1.0. The lower the value, the lower the greenhouse effect and the better for the environment. The GWP value of "0.02" is adopted based on the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report.(*2) Value measured at three meters in front of the unit.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

Perbelanjaan AI Meta Membimbangkan Wall Street

(SeaPRwire) - Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META) baru-baru ini mendedahkan panduan kewangannya, menumpukan pada peningkatan pelaburan dalam kecerdasan buatan (AI). Pengumuman ini tidak diterima baik oleh Wall Street, kerana ia menimbulkan kebimbangan mengenai keuntungan masa depan syarikat di tengah-tengah perbelanjaan berkaitan AI yang meningkat. Penganalisis telah menyatakan keraguan sama ada pelaburan besar tersebut akan menghasilkan pulangan yang besar dalam jangka pendek. Syarikat itu, bagaimanapun, kekal optimistik, menegaskan bahawa perbelanjaan ini adalah penting untuk mengekalkan daya saingnya dalam sektor teknologi. Komitmen gergasi teknologi itu terhadap AI adalah sebahagian daripada strategi yang lebih luas untuk mengintegrasikan teknologi canggih ke dalam rangkaian produk dan perkhidmatannya. Meta percaya bahawa dengan memanfaatkan AI, ia boleh meningkatkan pengalaman pengguna, memperbaiki penyederhanaan kandungan, dan memacu inovasi merentasi platformnya. Walaupun prospek yang menjanjikan ini, pelabur berhati-hati terhadap kesan potensi ke atas margin keuntungan, memandangkan modal besar yang diperlukan untuk pembangunan AI. Secara sejarah, Meta dikenali kerana strategi pelaburan yang agresif, sering mencurahkan sumber ke dalam teknologi baharu untuk mengukuhkan kedudukan pasarnya. Walaupun pendekatan ini sebelum ini telah membuahkan hasil, risiko tinggi yang berkaitan dengan AI telah menyebabkan penelitian yang lebih ketat daripada penganalisis kewangan. Saham syarikat telah mengalami turun naik apabila pelabur menimbang faedah yang berpotensi berbanding beban kewangan serta-merta. Salah satu bidang utama di mana Meta merancang untuk menggunakan AI adalah dalam pengiklanan. Dengan mengoptimumkan penyampaian dan penargetan iklan, AI berpotensi meningkatkan aliran pendapatan. Walau bagaimanapun, keberkesanan pelaksanaan ini masih belum dapat dilihat, dan sebarang kelewatan dalam merealisasikan pulangan boleh meningkatkan kebimbangan pelabur. Tambahan pula, landskap persaingan semakin sengit, dengan gergasi teknologi lain juga bersaing untuk ketuanan AI. Sebagai tindak balas kepada cabaran ini, Meta telah menggariskan beberapa inisiatif yang bertujuan untuk mengimbangi cita-cita AI-nya dengan tanggungjawab fiskal. Langkah-langkah pengurangan kos di kawasan bukan teras dan tumpuan kepada kecekapan adalah sebahagian daripada strategi syarikat untuk mengurangkan risiko kewangan. Selain itu, kepimpinan Meta telah menekankan ketelusan dalam menyampaikan hasil yang dijangkakan daripada projek AI-nya, bertujuan untuk meyakinkan pihak berkepentingan tentang visi jangka panjang. Reaksi pasaran yang lebih luas terhadap strategi perbelanjaan AI Meta mencerminkan optimisme yang berhati-hati. Walaupun potensi untuk kemajuan teknologi yang besar diakui, ketidakpastian mengenai impak kewangan serta-merta tidak boleh diabaikan. Situasi ini menonjolkan dilema biasa bagi syarikat teknologi: keperluan untuk berinovasi sambil menguruskan jangkaan pelabur. Apabila Meta meneruskan inisiatif AI-nya, suku tahun akan datang akan menjadi penentu dalam menentukan sama ada pertaruhan syarikat itu akan membuahkan hasil. Kejayaan bukan sahaja akan mengesahkan hala tuju strategiknya tetapi juga mengukuhkan keyakinan terhadap keupayaannya untuk mengemudi kerumitan evolusi teknologi. Sebaliknya, sebarang kemunduran boleh mendorong penilaian semula keutamaan pelaburannya dan berpotensi menjejaskan kedudukannya di Wall Street.

CMS (867.HK; 8A8.SG) NDA for AD Indication of Long-acting Anti-IL-4Ra Humanized Monoclonal Antibody Injection MG-K10 Accepted in China

SHENZHEN, Oct 30, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS”) is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Dermavon Holdings Limited (“Dermavon”, an innovative pharmaceutical company specialized in skin health which is applying for a separate listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, please refer to the announcement of CMS on 22 April 2025 for details) together with its subsidiaries, holds co-development rights (except for atopic dermatitis (AD)) and exclusive commercialization rights for the Class 1 innovative drug anti-IL-4Rα MG-K10 humanized monoclonal antibody injection (“MG-K10” or the “Product”). The New Drug Application (“NDA”) has been accepted by National Medical Products Administration (“NMPA”) on 30 October 2025. The product is intended for the treatment of adult with moderate-to-severe AD whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies or when those therapies are not advisable.MG-K10 (generic name: Comekibart Injection) is an innovative long-acting anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody that simultaneously blocks the signaling of key type 2 inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-13. With a longer half-life, the Product enables a four-week dosing frequency (currently marketed anti-IL-4Rα drugs require biweekly dosing), which is expected to improve patient adherence. MG-K10 is expected to become the world's first long-acting anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibody to be launched on the market, and has the potential to become the Best-in-Class (BIC).MG-K10 has achieved positive results in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical study in adults with moderate-to-severe AD, meeting the primary research endpoint as designed, and at 52 weeks of treatment with MG-K10, proportion of participants with Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 or 1, also with an improvement of ≥2 points from baseline is 76.6%; proportion of participants with ≥75% reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI 75) from baseline is 94.3 %; proportion of participants with ≥90% reduction in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI 90) from baseline is 79.1 %. Regarding safety, most of the Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) were Grade 1-2, with no Adverse Event of Special Interest (AESI) or fatal adverse event occurred. The incidence of common adverse reactions (conjunctivitis, injection site reactions, etc.) of drugs with the same target is relatively low for MG-K10.The Product has the potential for the treatment of other type 2 inflammatory diseases, such as asthma, prurigo nodularis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic spontaneous urticaria, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Among them, asthma, prurigo nodularis and seasonal allergic rhinitis have all entered the phase III clinical trial stage in China.If MG-K10 is approved, it will provide a new, effective, and safe systemic treatment option for 14.5 million patients with moderate-to-severe AD[1]. Furthermore, MG-K10 will generate synergy with Dermavon's ruxolitinib cream (for mild to moderate AD), the oral small molecule TYK2 inhibitor CMS-D001 (for moderate to severe AD), and dermatology-grade skincare products of Heling soothing product series, establishing a comprehensive solution for AD that covers various administration routes (injection, oral, and topical) and addresses multiple needs in “treatment + care”, benefiting a wide range of AD patients. Concurrently, it will further enrich Dermavon's product portfolio in the field of dermatological treatment and reinforce its leading position in skin health sector.On 24 January 2025, CMS through its subsidiaries entered into a Collaboration Agreement (“Agreement”) with Hunan Mabgeek Biotech Co., LTD and its subsidiaries for MG-K10.

It is the most burdensome non-fatal skin disease worldwide and also a chronic disease with a relatively high prevalence and significant disease burden in China. It is estimated that there are over 54 million AD patients in China in 2024. Based on SCORAD scores, the proportion of moderate to severe AD in China was 27%, which means there are over 14.5 million patients[1]. Due to the limitations in efficacy and safety of traditional systemic therapies for AD, moderate to severe AD patients often experience delays in systemic treatment initiation, poor compliance, and suboptimal disease control, leaving a significant unmet need in clinical practice[2]. MG-K10, with its extended dosing interval of once every four weeks, is expected to improve patient adherence and provide a new, effective, and safe systemic treatment option for patients with moderate-to-severe AD.About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products. CMS continues to promote the in-depth development in its advantageous specialty fields, strengthening the competitiveness of the cardio-cerebrovascular/ gastroenterology/ ophthalmology/ skin health businesses, bringing economies of scale in specialty fields.

Esperanza Unveils New Milestone in Tokenized Economy ACN Newswire

Esperanza Unveils New Milestone in Tokenized Economy

HONG KONG, Oct 30, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Esperanza Fintech (Hong Kong) Limited (“Esperanza” or the “Group”) today hosted the “Conference: Implementation of Tokenized Economy by Esperanza” (“Conference”). It is an opportune moment as the Hong Kong SAR Government vows in her 2025 Policy Address to support the development of tokenized gold investment products. The Conference brought together industry leaders and partners to map out a strategic blueprint to implement tokenized economy, including the compliant roadmap for tokenized gold in Hong Kong and the unlimited potential of tokenized investments, an application for tokenized gold, in driving economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region. The Conference was attended by nearly a hundred investors and professionals.The Conference kicked off with a vision speech delivered by Mr. Ronald Leung, solicitor, Founder and Group CEO of Esperanza. Mr. Leung pointed out that the Asia-Pacific region has long relied on Western settlement systems and Western-dominated interest rate policies. The tokenized economy, powered by tokenized gold, offers an alternative capital solution to drive regional economic development and the continuous internationalization of the financial and capital markets of the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong . He emphasized that the support for development of tokenized gold in Hong Kong’s 2025 Policy Address is a highly strategic policy direction. Capitalizing on her status and resources as an international financial center, Hong Kong possesses unparalleled edge in developing an ecosystem powered by tokenized gold in facilitating cross-border trades in the Asia-Pacific region. Furthermore, tokenized gold could be integrated with Central Bank-led digital Renminbi (RMB) in the future to contribute to the internationalization of RMB. He pointed out that the Group has completed registration with the Hong Kong Customs as an issuer of precious asset-backed instrument. The Group has also undergone a small-scale, non-public proof-of-concept (POC) testing in multiple Asia Pacific markets, including Southeast Asia, Australia, Japan, South Korea, and currently has significant verified “Know Your Customer (KYC)” POC users. Although Esperanza's tokenized gold is designed based on the legal framework for precious asset-backed instrument registered with Hong Kong Customs, to ensure overall regulatory stability in Hong Kong, it is anticipated that Esperanza will open its tokenized gold offerings to the Hong Kong public only after addressing the concerns of other regulatory bodies and when a clear regulatory framework is fully implemented in the city. The Group will also align with governments of various economies on operational fronts via strategic partners.Mr. Leung continued to point out, "Tokenized gold is a key milestone for Hong Kong's financial future. Esperanza has already signed an agreement with Hatcher Group Limited (8365.HK) regarding the development of tokenized gold before the Policy Address was released. Immediately following the release, our team has conducted a productive and in-depth communication with the Chief Executive's Policy Unit, while ensuring our technology platform and infrastructure are in place and ready for action. Currently, we are maintaining active dialogues with regulators, with the core principle of achieving ‘controllable innovation’ that adheres to existing regulatory framework as well as the work agenda of the Chief Executive’s Policy Unit. We firmly believe that Esperanza, armed with first-mover advantages in technology and its business model, and in collaboration with various sectors, will be able to transform tokenized gold into a powerful engine in driving economic autonomy in the Asia-Pacific region."The conference had two thematic sharing sessions. The first had Mr. Roy Lui, Managing Director of ESPE Gold Solutions, sharing the compliant implementation of tokenized gold in Hong Kong. Mr. Lui shared that the Group’s proposed solution – “ESPE Gold” (“ESPG”) – is legally categorized as a “precious asset-backed instrument” instead of a virtual asset or a stablecoin, nor a collective investment scheme. Esperanza purchases physical gold bars adhering to London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) standards, stores them in licensed gold vaults and issues 100,000 ESPG, i.e. digital gold certificates, for each kilogram of gold bar. These digital gold certificates, each representing a complete instalment payment, are recorded on blockchain networks. Upon completion of 100,000 instalments, i.e. holding 100,000 ESPG, clients can redeem physical gold bars from Esperanza. Clients can make instalment payments any time and sell ESPG back to Esperanza, enjoying much higher flexibility than traditional gold redemption clubs. Mr. Lui emphasized that, although ESPG gives users experiences similar to that of stablecoins, the business model is actually more akin to traditional gold dealers earning bid-ask spread. He also spoke on the diverse application scenarios of ESPG besides as a convenient way to purchase physical gold. ESPG is poised to develop into a cross-border settlement means for commerce across Asia economies, with future potential to power a gold-backed interest rate system through collateralized lending of ESPG.In the second sharing session, Mr. Tony Chang, Executive Director of ESPE Capital Solutions, talked about the Group’s blueprint for tokenized investments as a core use case for tokenized gold. Mr. Chang said tokenized investments have not seen significant breakthrough due to the lack of product designs that are attractive to investors and that liquidity is highly concentrated within professional investors. Tokenized investments need to deliver both “attractive growth potential” and “security in exit channels” in order for investors to make meaningful consideration for adoption. Such example includes a short-term revenue sharing arrangement with foreseeable potential for revenue improvement. He added that Esperanza has obtained the Asset Management licence from the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong and its application for tokenized business is currently under review, with the legal, tax, and trading infrastructures ready. Currently, the Group’s tokenized investment pipelines include concert revenue of Southeast Asian and Korean artists, movie box office receipts and revenue of hotels and shopping malls.In addition to the thematic sharing sessions, the conference also featured a panel discussion comprising Mr. Jeremy Teo from Singapore, Co-founder and Board Director of Esperanza, Mr. Ronald Leung and Mr. Tony Chang. The discussion centers on the development potential of tokenized gold and tokenized investments across various Asia-Pacific economies, particularly the opportunities in bringing Southeast Asian projects to Hong Kong for capital raising via security token offerings (STOs). These opportunities illustrate the advantages for Hong Kong in developing tokenized gold with the support of the Hong Kong SAR Government.The conference marked an important step made by Esperanza in promoting the development of tokenized economy in Hong Kong and across Asia. Looking ahead, the Group will continue to provide innovative fintech solutions to support Hong Kong in strengthening her position as an international financial center, as well as helping foster greater economic autonomy and financial innovation in the Asia-Pacific region.Photo captionsPhoto 1: (From left to right) Mr. Tony Chang, Executive Director of ESPE Capital Solutions, and Mr. Ronald Leung, Founder and Group CEO of Esperanza, and Mr. Roy Lui, Managing Director of ESPE Gold Solutions, at the conference.Photo 2: (From left to right) Mr. Jeremy Teo, Co-founder and Board Director of Esperanza, Mr. Ronald Leung, Founder and Group CEO of Esperanza, and Mr. Tony Chang, Executive Director of ESPE Capital Solutions, after the panel discussion session.About Esperanza Fintech (Hong Kong) Limited (Esperanza)Esperanza is co-founded by the next generation of professionals from Hong Kong and Singapore with the mission to reform Asia’s economies through fintech. Esperanza is building the world’s first digital economy powered by a compliant tokenized gold infrastructure and its applications in finance. Esperanza aspires to reconnect Asia’s economies and integrate with their respective Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) to build autonomy against reliance on Western settlement systems and interest rate policies.Esperanza operates on a low-profile, highly efficient, and decisive business model. Since commencement in 2025, Esperanza has secured the registration as a Precious Metals and Stones Dealer (DPMS) with Hong Kong Customers and the Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP) licence for the operations and custody of tokenized gold, and the Asset Management licence with the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) of Hong Kong for the development of tokenized investments.In August 2025, Esperanza entered into a partnership agreement with Hatcher Group (8365.HK) relating to tokenized gold and tokenized investments. In September 2025, Hong Kong government has included the development of tokenized gold into its 2025 Policy Address.Esperanza's tokenized gold and tokenized investments continue to adhere to Hong Kong's Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements and common reporting standard for counter-tax evasion measures. Fintech solutions have enabled Esperanza to significantly reduce financing and operational costs, connecting products directly with end users. Esperanza’s tokenized finance system will fully support the globalization of national economy and is committed to becoming an alternative solution for international trades and settlements.To find out more, please visit the Esperanza website: espetopia.com Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
