China mengkritik pentadbiran Trump atas sekatan AS terhadap Cuba

January 27, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - China telah mengkritik secara terbuka, mengaku bahawa Washington telah melanggar undang-undang antarabangsa dan menyeru untuk menghentikan sanksi dan sekatan yang telah berlaku selama beberapa dekad.Komen-komen tersebut mengiringi pola yang telah lama diadakan oleh Beijing iaitu menyokong kerajaan komunis yang lebih kecil yang didakwa menghadapi ancaman asing, termasuk Cuba dan Venezuela."China amat berhati-hati dan kuat mengkritik langkah-langkah AS, dan menyeru AS untuk berhenti menghentikan hak-hak rakyat Cuba untuk hidup dan berkembang, berhenti mengganggu perdamaian dan kestabilan wilayah, berhenti melakukan pelanggaran undang-undang antarabangsa, dan serta segera mengangkat sekatan dan sanksi terhadap Cuba," Kementerian Luar Negeri China berkata dalam kenyataan pada pagi Isnin.Kenyataan tersebut telah dikongsi oleh Kedutaan Besar China di AS.Beijing telah secara rutin mengkritik, menganggap tekanan ekonomi terhadap kerajaan komunis sebagai ancaman kepada kestabilan wilayah.Tidak terdapat sekatan lautan yang sedang berlaku, walaupun pegawai AS telah berkata bahawa ia masih merupakan satu pilihan.Peningkatan tension tersebut mengikut tindakan penganiayaan terhadap Nicolás Maduro pada awal bulan ini, tindakan yang telah mengganggu pengeluaran minyak Venezuela kepada Cuba dan mencetuskan kerengsaan dari pihak Havana.Operasi tersebut dan kesannya telah meningkatkan tension antara AS dan Cuba secara mendadak, dengan Presiden AS mengumumkan bahawa Cuba tidak akan menerima minyak atau wang dari Venezuela - tindakan yang telah memutuskan tali hayat tenaga dan kewangan Cuba yang telah lama.Presiden Cuba, Miguel Díaz-Canel berkata bahawa pentadbiran beliau akan terus berjalan, walaupun terdapat ancaman Trump untuk memaksa Cuba untuk membuat perjanjian kerana bekalan minyak Venezuela telah terhenti.Survei telah melaporkan bahawa pentadbiran Trump sedang mencari para pejabat Cuba yang bersedia untuk membuat perjanjian yang boleh memudahkan perubahan rejim sebelum akhir 2026.Pada bulan Jun, Trump telah menandatangani Memorandum Presiden Keamanan Negara untuk memperketatkan dasar AS terhadap Cuba, mengukuhkan sanksi dan larangan perjalanan, menghalang urusan kewangan dengan entiti berkaitan tentera Cuba, dan melaksanakan sekatan ekonomi.’ Nicole McManus menyumbang kepada laporan ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Orang Amerika masih meninggalkan New York dan L.A. dengan kadar yang membimbangkan, tetapi Miami juga berada di senarai sekarang

January 27, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Enam tahun selepas pandemik mengubah bentuk peta Amerika, eksodus dari bandar-bandar pesisir terbesar negara itu bukan sahaja berterusan malah telah berkembang untuk memasukkan sebuah bandar yang sebelum ini menjadi pusat pertumbuhan. Menurut laporan Januari 2026 dari Institute, rakyat Amerika masih terus meninggalkan New York City dan Los Angeles secara besar-besaran, tetapi kini mereka juga melarikan diri dari Miami dengan kadar yang sama membimbangkan. Data dari suku tahun keempat 2025 menunjukkan bahawa Miami dan Los Angeles menduduki tangga teratas senarai bandar utama AS yang mengalami kehilangan penduduk terbesar dari segi mutlak; mereka juga mengalami kehilangan penduduk terbesar setahun selepas setahun. Walaupun pada awal 2020-an Florida menjadi tempat perlindungan utama bagi pekerja jarak jauh, arus sedang berubah untuk pusat utamanya, dengan Miami mencatatkan penurunan peratusan penduduk yang paling curam setahun selepas setahun di antara kawasan metropolitan utama yang dikesan oleh bank itu. Walikota keluaran Miami, Francis Suarez, memberitahu pada bulan Oktober bahawa beliau bimbang tentang kemungkinan (dan kini disahkan) pilihan raya Zohran Mamdani di New York City, namun beliau juga mengakui bahawa terdapat "pasti gentrifikasi sedang berlaku" di bandarnya. Dua bulan kemudian, kebimbangan mengenai kemampuan memainkan peranan utama di Miami , Eileen Higgins. Miami kini menduduki tempat teratas dalam " " dari UBS Global Wealth Management, dengan L.A., San Francisco, dan New York sebagai satu-satunya bandar Amerika lain dalam ranking itu. Austin, Denver, dan Philadelphia menduduki tangga teratas senarai peningkatan terbesar dalam pendatang baru kerana krisis kemampuan yang melanda AS menunjukkan Sunbelt tidak terkecuali. Juga, institute itu menyatakan bahawa "Midwest masih mempunyai saat," dengan Indianapolis dan Columbus mendahului dari segi pertumbuhan penduduk mutlak. Krisis Kemampuan Melanda Sunbelt Pendorong utama peralihan ini nampaknya adalah daya yang sama yang mengosongkan pusat bandar pada 2020: pencarian nilai. "Kemampuan dan iklim masih menjadi dua magnet terbesar—dan dua faktor pendorong terbesar," catat laporan itu. Walaupun Miami terus menarik pendatang kaya dari New York dan Boston, aliran masuk ini tidak lagi mencukupi untuk mengimbangi pelepasan besar penduduk sedia ada. "Migrasi Miami menceritakan cerita yang menarik perhatian," tulis penulis, kehilangan penduduk walaupun dengan aliran masuk yang kuat berterusan dari bandar-bandar utama seperti New York dan Boston. Hampir 70% daripada mereka yang meninggalkan Miami pada 2025 berpindah ke bahagian lain di Selatan, memilih pasaran berdekatan yang lebih mampu milik seperti Orlando, Tampa, dan Atlanta. Data menunjukkan bahawa bekas penduduk Miami mencari lokasi yang "agak dekat dengan rumah" tetapi kurang membebankan dari segi kewangan. Los Angeles dan New York terus menyusut Di Pantai Barat, cerita itu masih konsisten dengan trend yang ditetapkan pada awal dekad ini. Los Angeles mengalami penurunan penduduk bersih sebanyak 0.8% setahun selepas setahun, apabila penduduk tersebar ke pusat-pusat barat yang lebih murah. "Peta migrasi Los Angeles menunjukkan bandar yang bergerak—dan bukan ke arah yang baik," nyatakan laporan itu. Walaupun kos yang tinggi adalah titik perselisihan utama, kebimbangan alam sekitar, khususnya risiko kebakaran hutan, juga mendorong penduduk Los Angeles untuk keluar. Walau bagaimanapun, mereka tidak pergi jauh; perpindahan ke Las Vegas, Phoenix, dan Seattle membentuk sebahagian besar aliran keluar, membuktikan bahawa penduduk mencari versi lain kehidupan Pantai Barat yang lebih mudah dikendalikan dari segi kewangan. New York City mencatatkan aliran keluar penduduk mutlak terbesar kedua pada 2025. Walaupun bandar itu masih menjadi pusat global, hampir 45% penduduk New York yang keluar menuju ke selatan. Menariknya, Philadelphia telah muncul sebagai penerima manfaat utama daripada pergolakan penduduk New York. Lebih daripada satu daripada empat penduduk baru di Philadelphia berasal dari NYC, kerana pendatang mencari kos hidup yang lebih rendah dalam jarak perjalanan kereta api yang pendek dari rumah mereka sebelum ini. "Philadelphia menceritakan cerita yang menarik," tulis penulis, dengan aliran masuk terbesar ketiga untuk suku tahun keempat 2025, dengan lebih daripada satu daripada empat penduduk baru mengatakan "selamat tinggal kepada semua itu" dan meninggalkan New York. Bandar Cinta Saudara juga menarik ramai penduduk dari seluruh Timur Laut, menunjukkan bahawa ia terus berfungsi sebagai "magnet wilayah untuk pendatang yang prihatin dengan kemampuan sementara masih berada dalam jarak memandu yang agak pendek dari bandar-bandar besar jiran." Pada masa yang sama, hampir satu pertiga daripada pendatang masuk berasal dari Selatan, berbanding 40% penduduk Philadelphia yang berpindah lebih jauh ke selatan untuk mencari iklim yang lebih panas dan kos yang lebih rendah. Era Perpindahan Wilayah Takeaway yang lebih luas dari data 2026 adalah bahawa "Penyusunan Semula Besar" telah melambatkan dan menjadi lebih tempatan. Jumlah penduduk Amerika yang berpindah telah lebih daripada separuh sejak 2021. "Cerita besar bukanlah penyusunan semula nasional—ia adalah penduduk yang menukar satu bandar berdekatan dengan yang lain yang sesuai dengan bajet dan gaya hidup mereka sedikit lebih baik," laporan itu menyimpulkan. Malah enjin pertumbuhan popular seperti Austin dan Denver juga menunjukkan tanda-tanda kematangan ini. Walaupun Austin terus berkembang, menarik bakat dari seluruh negara, ia juga melihat aliran keluar ke bandar-bandar kecil di Selatan, mencadangkan bahawa ia tidak lagi kebal terhadap kebimbangan kemampuan yang melanda pesisir. Enam tahun selepas pandemik, data menunjukkan bahawa rakyat Amerika tidak lagi meninggalkan seluruh wilayah. Sebaliknya, mereka "menyusun semula hidup mereka di dalamnya," mencari nilai tanpa mengorbankan kebiasaan, tetapi pusat-pusat pesisir besar lebih berkemungkinan untuk ditinggalkan daripada diambil.

Dari 700 saudara-mara yang dibunuh kepada 3 orang yang selamat: Keturunan Holocaust memimpin tentera Israel selepas serangan 7 Oktober kewangan

Dari 700 saudara-mara yang dibunuh kepada 3 orang yang selamat: Keturunan Holocaust memimpin tentera Israel selepas serangan 7 Oktober

January 27, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Apabila Kol. (Bhd.) Eli Konigsberg memakai uniformnya pada usia 57 tahun, dia membawa lebih daripada beban komando. Dia membawa kisah dua keluarga yang hampir dihapuskan dari peta Eropah.Apabila dunia menandai , ulang tahun pembebasan kamp konsentrasi Auschwitz-Birkenau pada 1945, timbalan komander Daerah Yerusalem dan Tengah Israel di Home Front Command berkata masa lalu bukanlah sejarah yang jauh. Bagi dia, ia hidup dalam ingatan, dalam perkhidmatan, dan dalam urgensi untuk mempertahankan negara Yahudi yang dia percayai sebagai satu-satunya tempat di mana orang Yahudi benar-benar terlindung."Kedua-dua ibu bapa saya adalah mangsa Holocaust yang selamat," kata Konigsberg, yang gambarnya dikaburkan atas sebab keselamatan, kepada Digital. "Bapanya berasal dari keluarga Yahudi Ortodoks yang besar di Poland Barat. Sebelum perang, keluarga luas mereka berjumlah sekitar 700 orang. Selepas Holocaust, hanya bapa saya dan dua sepupu yang tinggal; tiga orang daripada 700."Selepas selamat dari Auschwitz, bapanya menyertai pergerakan Betar dan cuba mencapai Tanah Israel pada 1946 dengan kapal Theodor Herzl. Dia ditahan oleh pihak berkuasa British, dipenjarakan di kem Atlit dan dibuang ke Cyprus selama hampir dua tahun.Hanya dengan pengisytiharan dia akhirnya tiba."Dia menyertai perkhidmatan, bertempur dalam Perang Merdeka dan empat perang lagi serta berkhidmat dalam rezab selama 55 tahun," kata Konigsberg.Di pihak ibunya, kehilangan tidak kurang dahsyat. Ibu bapa dan kakak-kakaknya diambil dari rumah mereka di Poland Timur selepas jiran memberitahu pihak berkuasa tentang mereka."Mereka dipaksa menggali kubur sendiri di bawah pokok pir dan dieksekusi dengan tembakan senjata api," katanya.Holocaust jarang dibincangkan secara terbuka di rumahnya semasa kecil, kata Konigsberg, tetapi kehadirannya sentiasa ada. Kini, dia bimbang tentang keheningan yang berbeza."Kita sudah 80 tahun selepas Holocaust, dan orang-orang yang boleh berkata ‘Saya ada di sana. Saya lihat’ semakin hilang," katanya. "Oleh itu, tanggungjawab untuk mengingati adalah tanggungjawab kita."Perasaan tanggungjawab itu membentuk kehidupannya. Konigsberg, bapa kepada empat anak perempuan dan datuk, telah berkhidmat lebih daripada 36 tahun dalam pasukan rezab Israel, menyelesaikan lebih daripada 3,600 hari tugas."Sepuluh tahun secara keseluruhan," katanya. Di Israel, ahli rezab dibebaskan dari tugas secara undang-undang pada usia 45 tahun. Konigsberg memilih untuk teruskan, "Apabila mereka memanggil saya, saya akan tiba serta-merta." Selepas Hamas, dia dimobilkan sekali lagi."Apa yang kita lihat pada 7 Okt ialah pembunuhan demi pembunuhan," katanya. "Bukan untuk menakluki wilayah atau mengubah realiti. Ia adalah kebencian demi kebencian."Sejak itu, dia telah memerintah unit penyelamat dan kejuruteraan berat yang beroperasi di Gaza Envelope, di dalam Gaza, dan di utara. Pasukannya telah menjalankan pengenalan mayat, operasi penyelamatan dan misi membersihkan bertujuan untuk menghapuskan tempat persembunyian pengganas."Dalam beberapa hari akan datang kita akan kembali ke Gaza sekali lagi untuk membersihkan dan meruntuhkan," katanya.Walaupun mengalami trauma, dia berkata sistem rezab mencerminkan sesuatu yang kuat tentang masyarakat Israel. "Apa yang indah tentang rezab ialah orang boleh memiliki pendapat politik yang sangat berbeza, dan semua orang masih datang dan bekerja sebagai satu badan," katanya.Konigsberg merenungkan apa yang dia percayai sejarah ajarkan sekali lagi. "Kita sekarang lihat bahawa antisemitisme wujud dan akan terus wujud pada masa depan," katanya.Dia menunjukkan reaksi global terhadap Israel sejak 7 Okt. "Terdapat perkara teruk berlaku di tempat lain. Contohnya, rejim Iran menindas rakyatnya sendiri, dan anda tidak melihat demonstrasi seperti ini, tetapi apabila ia melibatkan Israel dan orang Yahudi, terdapat bantahan keras," katanya.Bagi Konigsberg, pengingatan bukan sahaja tentang mengutuk kematian. Ia tentang melindungi yang hidup. "Tempat setiap orang Yahudi adalah di sini di Israel," tambahnya. "Dan kita mesti sentiasa bersatu dan kuat. Kita mesti berada di tanah kita, menjadi kuat dan bersatu serta memastikan bahawa ‘tidak akan berulang lagi’ benar-benar bermaksud tidak akan berulang lagi," katanya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Kepelbagaian dalam lembaga pengarah Fortune 50: lelaki kulit putih tidak lagi menjadi majoriti selama 3 tahun berturut-turut Berita

Kepelbagaian dalam lembaga pengarah Fortune 50: lelaki kulit putih tidak lagi menjadi majoriti selama 3 tahun berturut-turut

January 27, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Secara sejarah, ruang dewan syarikat . Namun trend itu mula berubah pada tahun 1970-an, sebahagiannya disebabkan oleh kemenangan zaman hak sivil dan usaha pro-kepelbagaian oleh aktivis dan kumpulan perniagaan. Saya dunia dan politik selama beberapa dekad. Satu metrik kepelbagaian yang berguna ialah peratusan ahli lembaga pengarah yang bukan lelaki kulit putih. Dan untuk tahun ketiga berturut-turut, lelaki kulit putih tidak memegang majoriti kerusi di lembaga pengarah 50 syarikat terbesar Amerika, menurut analisis saya terhadap senarai 500 yang terkini. Walau bagaimanapun, bahagian lelaki kulit putih tetap meningkat selepas penurunan selama dua tahun. Tetapi mengetahui perpecahan lembaga pengarah lelaki kulit putih/bukan lelaki kulit putih itu sendiri adalah alat yang kasar. Ia tidak memberitahu kita tentang sifat kepelbagaian semasa, bagaimana ia berkaitan dengan iklim politik yang lebih luas, dan apa yang boleh dipelajari tentang kepelbagaian dengan melihat siapa pengarah syarikat 2025. Corak dalam data Manakala kira-kira satu dekad lalu, lelaki kulit putih memegang dua pertiga kerusi di lembaga pengarah 50 teratas , pada 2023, buat pertama kalinya, 50%. Pada 2024, angka itu turun kepada 48.4%, tetapi tahun ini ia naik kembali kepada 49.7%. Oleh kerana lelaki kulit putih membentuk kira-kira 31% daripada populasi AS, mereka masih sangat diwakili berlebihan dalam ketiga-tiga tahun. Apabila peratusan kerusi yang dipegang oleh lelaki kulit putih meningkat dari 2024 ke 2025, bagaimanapun, peratusan yang dipegang oleh wanita kulit putih turun, dari 25% kepada 24.5%. Lain-lain untuk keseluruhan 500. Peratusan kerusi yang dipegang oleh orang kulit hitam juga turun, dari 15% kepada 14.2%, dan begitu juga mereka yang dipegang oleh orang Hispanik, dari 6.1% kepada 5.9%. Sementara itu, peratusan kerusi yang dipegang oleh orang Asia meningkat sedikit, dari 5.6% kepada 5.7%. Faktor pendidikan Majoriti besar lelaki dan wanita dengan latar belakang Asia yang memegang 33 kerusi di lembaga pengarah 50 teratas pada 2025 dilahirkan di luar Amerika Syarikat, melakukan kerja sarjana muda di negara asal mereka, dan kemudian datang ke AS untuk menghadiri sekolah pascasarjana. Kebanyakan pengarah Hispanik juga dilahirkan di luar negara, dan ramai daripada mereka melakukan kerja sarjana muda atau pascasarjana – atau kedua-duanya – di AS. Pendidikan penting untuk pemantauan kepelbagaian masa depan sebahagiannya kerana usaha pentadbiran Trump untuk pendidikan tinggi. Sebenarnya, menolak akses kepada orang Asia dan Hispanik yang ingin belajar di AS boleh, lama kelamaan, mengurangkan saluran ke ruang syarikat, dan ia juga boleh mengurangkan bilangan pengarah syarikat Asia dan Hispanik. Politik di sebalik beberapa perubahan lembaga yang ketara Adalah mengungkapkan untuk melihat beberapa orang yang meninggalkan lembaga dan pelantikan orang lain – perubahan yang mengakibatkan penurunan kepelbagaian tahun ini. Contohnya, ke : empat lelaki kulit putih dan seorang wanita Amerika Mesir. Salah seorang lelaki kulit putih ialah Dana White, CEO Ultimate Fighting Championship dan penyokong Trump yang lama dan kini aktif. CEO UFC, sekutu Trump dan ahli lembaga Meta baru-baru ini Dana White. Wanita yang ditambahkan Meta ke lembaganya ialah Dina Powell . Dia dan berkahwin dengan Dave McCormick, seorang pembiaya Republikan yang kini merupakan senator AS dari Pennsylvania. Dengan penambahan White, Powell McCormick dan tiga lelaki kulit putih lain, lembaga Meta berubah dari 50% lelaki kulit putih pada 2024 kepada 60% pada 2025, dan ia menambah dua penyokong Trump yang mempunyai hubungan rapat dengan presiden. Pada akhir Disember 2025, Powell McCormick meletak jawatan . Beberapa perubahan kepelbagaian lain yang ketara dari 2024 ke 2025 berlaku di lembaga pengarah dan . Oleh kerana Agensi Kewangan Perumahan Persekutuan mengawal selia kedua-dua syarikat ini, pada 2025 permusuhan pentadbiran Trump terhadap kepelbagaian, keadilan dan inklusi, atau DEI, pada tahap kepelbagaian di kedua-dua lembaga ini. Pada Januari 2025, Trump mencalonkan William Pulte, seorang penderma Trump, untuk menjadi pengarah FHFA. Pulte dengan cepat menyingkirkan beberapa pengarah wanita, pengarah kulit hitam dan seorang pengarah Asia. Akibatnya, peratusan pengarah lelaki kulit putih di kedua-dua lembaga itu meningkat dari 40% pada 2024 kepada 65% pada 2025. Walau bagaimanapun, perlu diperhatikan bahawa di kalangan pelantikan baru ke lembaga itu ialah seorang lelaki kulit hitam, seorang lelaki lain yang ibunya Iran dan bapanya Pakistan, dan seorang lelaki keturunan Sepanyol yang ibu bapanya pendatang Turki. Kabinet penggal kedua Trump – yang termasuk lima wanita kulit putih, seorang lelaki kulit hitam, dan seorang wanita Hispanik – mempunyai kepelbagaian jauh kurang daripada kabinet Presiden Barack Obama dan Joe Biden, tetapi dua kali ganda kepelbagaian daripada kabinet pertama Trump. Trump telah menunjukkan dirinya terbuka kepada beberapa kepelbagaian asalkan – selaras dengan dasar umumnya dalam pengambilan – cukup bersedia untuk menyokongnya. Begitu juga, perubahan Pulte mengurangkan kepelbagaian sambil pada masa yang sama memasukkan beberapa orang dari latar belakang pelbagai yang setia kepada Trump. Dina Powell McCormick menjadi presiden Meta pada awal 2026, selepas berkhidmat selama setahun di lembaganya. Ironi kepelbagaian elit Semua itu berkaitan dengan subjek yang saya jelajahi dalam tiga edisi buku yang saya tulis bersama Bill Domhoff, “.” Di dalamnya, kami telah melihat apa yang kami panggil “ironi kepelbagaian.” Satu ironi utama kepelbagaian ialah apabila sebilangan kecil orang dari kumpulan yang sebelum ini terkecuali diberikan akses ke elit kuasa, proses di mana mereka dipilih dan kehadiran mereka sendiri memberikan justifikasi untuk kelangsungan status quo dalam hal kuasa dan pengagihan kekayaan. Pemilihan berterusan beberapa pengarah yang menyediakan kepelbagaian di lembaga pengarah 50 syarikat teratas adalah sebahagian daripada proses ini, seperti juga kabinet Trump yang mengejutkan kepelbagaiannya. Ker惧 di kalangan mereka yang mendorong kepelbagaian yang lebih besar dalam kepimpinan syarikat ialah data 2025 mungkin merupakan permulaan trend penurunan yang lebih panjang. , Profesor Psikologi Emiritus, Artikel ini diterbitkan semula dari di bawah lesen Creative Commons.

Netanyahu memberi amaran mengenai antisemitism pada perhimpunan Hari Peringatan Holocaust

January 27, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Pemimpin-pemimpin dari seluruh dunia berkumpul di Yerusalem pada hari Selasa untuk menyoroti lonjakan global antisemitisme pada Hari Peringatan Holocaust Internasional, yang diperingati setiap tahun pada peringatan pembebasan kamp pemusnahan Nazi Auschwitz-Birkenau tahun 1945.Acara pembukaan gala diadakan pada hari Senin, di mana Perdana Menteri memperingatkan bahwa peradaban demokratis Barat berada di bawah ancaman dari ideologi yang merusak yang telah meresap ke setiap negara di Eropa Barat dan Amerika Serikat."Mereka ingin menghancurkan Barat seperti yang kita kenal. Dan mereka setuju pada satu hal. Apa hal yang mereka setujui? Perang Dunia Yahudi. Untuk menjalankan perang dunia, pertama-tama melawan orang-orang Yahudi dan negara Yahudi," katanya."Dan bagi Muslim radikal, mereka benar, karena tidak akan ada Barat jika negara Yahudi dihancurkan. Tidak akan ada penghalang bagi invasi lebih lanjut ke Eropa jika negara Yahudi tidak ada. Dan itu juga sesuai dengan kebencian internal mereka terhadap orang-orang Yahudi, yang memiliki akar yang sama dengan antisemitisme selama berabad-abad," tambah Netanyahu.Di antara tokoh internasional terkemuka yang menghadiri konferensi tersebut adalah Perdana Menteri Albania Edi Rama, mantan Kanselir Austria Sebastian Kurz, mantan Perdana Menteri Australia Scott Morrison, Menteri Urusan Uni Eropa Hongaria János Bóka, dan Duta Besar Amerika Serikat ke Israel Mike Huckabee."Antisemitisme berakar dari penyakit spiritual kejahatan mentah," kata Huckabee kepada Digital. "Itu adalah sikap intoleran yang percaya diri lebih unggul daripada orang lain, yang merupakan inti dari semua bentuk kebencian dan rasisme yang tidak rasional. Kita semua harus berbicara dan berdiri tegak melawannya," katanya."Mencintai orang-orang Yahudi hari ini adalah mencintai orang-orang Kristen besok dan kelompok lain nanti. Itu adalah kanker yang tidak pernah puas sampai setiap hubungan manusia yang sehat dihancurkan. Itu berasal dari neraka. Setiap upaya untuk mengidentifikasi kegelapan seperti itu membantu. Diam tentangnya berarti menerima dan setuju dengannya," tambah duta besar itu.Presiden Israel Isaac Herzog adalah pembicara pertama yang berbicara di konferensi pada hari Selasa, memperingatkan akan realitas yang memburuk bagi komunitas Yahudi di seluruh dunia."Wabah yang sama telah dilepaskan kembali ke masyarakat kita. Alasannya mungkin berbeda, tetapi itu adalah racun kuno yang sama, telah mengambil banyak bentuk, tetapi selalu membawa ," katanya.Herzog mencatat bahwa orang-orang Yahudi sekarang merasa terpaksa untuk menyembunyikan identitas mereka di jalan-jalan London dan Paris, dan bahwa para pemuja Yahudi harus dilindungi pada pagi Sabtu dari Toronto ke Boston ke Buenos Aires.Dia mengutip pembunuhan para pemuja Yahudi di Manchester, Inggris, pada Yom Kippur, pembunuhan orang-orang tak bersalah di sebuah , Australia, dan isolasi dan pelecehan terhadap mahasiswa Yahudi di kampus universitas di seluruh AS dan Eropa."Ketika ini terjadi," kata Herzog, "kita gagal memenuhi janji kita. Kita gagal memenuhi kewajiban kita kepada umat manusia."Herzog juga membahas kekhawatiran di Amerika Serikat, mengutip Walikota Kota New York . "Menolak orang-orang Yahudi dan hanya orang-orang Yahudi hak untuk menentukan nasib sendiri di tanah air nasional mereka adalah antisemitisme - bahkan jika Anda adalah walikota kota dengan jumlah orang Yahudi terbanyak di luar Israel," katanya.Konferensi tersebut, berjudul Generation Truth, dan diadakan oleh Menteri Urusan Diaspora dan Memerangi Antisemitisme Israel Amichai Chikli, berfokus pada tiga manifestasi utama antisemitisme modern: antisemitisme Islamis kekerasan, antisemitisme progresif yang berusaha untuk mendelegitimasi Israel dan mengecualikan orang-orang Yahudi dari kehidupan publik, dan antisemitisme sayap kanan ekstrem, yang telah mendapatkan visibilitas baru dalam beberapa tahun terakhir.Pada hari Selasa, Chikli menarik hubungan antara ideologi Nazi dan apa yang dia sebut sebagai "Islamo-Nazisme," yang menurutnya menjadi landasan pandangan dunia Hamas dan Ikatan Muslim."Delapan puluh satu tahun telah berlalu, dan umat Yahudi masih belum sepenuhnya pulih dari kampanye pemusnahan mengerikan yang dilakukan oleh . Delapan puluh satu tahun telah berlalu dan masih ada kapak yang diangkat melawan kita yang berusaha untuk menghancurkan negara Yahudi yang kecil dan melukai orang-orang Yahudi di setiap titik di globe, dari kibbutz dan komunitas di selatan Israel yang masih traumatis akibat kekejaman Hamas tanggal 7 Oktober hingga Manchester dan Sydney," kata Chikli."Konferensi ini berusaha menghilangkan political correctness… dan untuk menggerakkan semua kekuatan penting dalam perjuangan ideologis dan fisik melawan penerus modern Nazi," katanya lanjut.Juga berbicara di konferensi tersebut adalah Sylvan Adams, presiden Kongres Yahudi Dunia untuk wilayah Israel, yang memberi tahu Digital bahwa pada tanggal 8 Oktober 2023 — sebelum perang di Gaza dimulai dan saat Israel masih menghitung korban kematiannya — demonstrasi telah berlangsung di seluruh dunia yang merayakan pembantaian yang dipimpin Hamas.Dia menyalahkan peristiwa tersebut pada beberapa negara yang menurutnya merupakan bagian dari kampanye terorganisir yang dipimpin Qatar, yang menurutnya berfungsi sebagai garis depan untuk Ikatan Muslim, dengan dukungan dari Iran dan, baru-baru ini, China — aktor yang menurutnya mengeksploitasi Israel dan umat Yahudi untuk mengintimidasi dan menggulingkan masyarakat Barat."Setelah Israel tampak terluka dan rentan pada tanggal 7 Oktober, mereka mengaktifkan kampanye besar-besaran yang telah dipersiapkan lama — menginvestasikan sumber daya yang besar, meresap ke institusi, dan menanamkan agen bayaran di kota-kota Barat dalam upaya untuk memberikan pukulan terakhir. Tapi kita melihat betapa salahnya mereka," kata Adams."Kita perlu melawan dan mengingatkan , pemimpin institusi serta pemimpin politik, bahwa kita sedang di serang. Cara hidup kita, kebebasan kita sedang di serang. Ini bukan perjuangan Israel, ini adalah bentrokan peradaban, kita berjuang untuk seluruh Barat," tambahnya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

The forum attracted an enthusiastic response, drawing over 4,000 leaders from governments and business sectors across over 60 countries and regions. Over the two-day forum, over 150 financial officials, leaders of multilateral organisations, representatives from financial institutions and enterprises took the stages as speakers.

Jerome Powell dijangka mengecewakan Trump sekali lagi dengan tidak memotong kadar Berita

Jerome Powell dijangka mengecewakan Trump sekali lagi dengan tidak memotong kadar

January 27, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Selepas dua minggu penyelidikan dan pengawasan undang-undang yang intensif, Federal Reserve akan cuba menjadikan mesyuarat minggu ini mengenai kadar faedah sejurus dan tanpa sebarang kejutan seboleh mungkin, walaupun Presiden Donald Trump mungkin masih tidak akan menyukai keputusannya. Jawatankuasa penetapan kadar faedah bank pusat hampir pasti akan mengekalkan kadar jangka pendek utamanya tanpa perubahan pada kira-kira 3.6%, selepas tiga potongan berturut-turut sebanyak suku peratus . Pengerusi Fed Jerome Powell berkata selepas mesyuarat Disember bahawa mereka "berada dalam kedudukan yang baik untuk menunggu dan melihat bagaimana ekonomi berkembang" sebelum membuat sebarang langkah lanjut. Apabila Fed menurunkan kadar jangka pendeknya, ia boleh mempengaruhi kos pinjaman lain untuk perkara seperti gadai janji, pinjaman kereta dan pinjaman perniagaan dari semasa ke semasa, walaupun kadar tersebut juga dipengaruhi oleh daya pasaran. Mesyuarat minggu ini — salah satu daripada lapan yang diadakan oleh Fed setiap tahun — akan diliputi oleh pendedahan mengejutkan awal bulan ini bahawa Jabatan Kehakiman AS sebagai sebahagian daripada siasatan jenayah terhadap keterangan yang diberikan Powell pada Jun lepas mengenai . Ia adalah kali pertama seorang pengerusi Fed yang sedang berkhidmat disiasat, dan mendorong teguran awam yang luar biasa dari Powell. Kini, Powell terpaksa beralih daripada pertikaian dengan Rumah Putih kepada menekankan bahawa keputusan Fed mengenai kadar faedah didorong oleh , bukan politik. Powell berkata bahawa saman tersebut adalah "alasan" untuk menghukum Fed kerana tidak memotong kadar secepat yang diingini Trump. Powell akan "di bawah tekanan yang lebih lagi untuk menekankan, 'semua yang kita lakukan di sini ... semuanya tentang ekonomi,'" kata Claudia Sahm, seorang bekas ahli ekonomi Fed dan ketua ekonomi di New Century Advisors. "'Kami tidak memikirkan tentang politik.'" Michael Gapen, ketua ekonomi AS di dan juga bekas kakitangan Fed, berkata bahawa walaupun ada pengawasan, Fed boleh dijangka akan mempertimbangkan dasar kadar faedahnya seperti biasa. "Mesyuarat-mesyuarat mempunyai aliran yang teratur," katanya. "Terdapat pembentangan yang dibuat, terdapat perbincangan yang perlu diadakan. ... Sesetengah serangan lain yang lebih meluas terhadap Fed tidak benar-benar timbul." Tidak lama selepas saman Jabatan Kehakiman AS, Mahkamah Agung AS minggu lepas mempertimbangkan sama ada Trump boleh atas tuduhan penipuan gadai janji, yang . Tiada presiden yang telah memecat seorang gabenor dalam sejarah 112 tahun Fed. , para hakim nampaknya cenderung untuk membenarkannya kekal dalam jawatannya sehingga kes tersebut diselesaikan. Pejabat Fed lain juga telah memberi isyarat bahawa bank pusat berkemungkinan akan mengekalkan kadar tanpa perubahan pada mesyuarat dua hari mereka yang berakhir pada Rabu. Tiga potongan kadar Fed tahun lepas bertujuan untuk mengukuhkan ekonomi selepas pengambilan pekerja melambat dengan ketatnya sepanjang musim panas dan musim luruh berikutan tarif April Trump ke atas berpuluh-puluh negara. Namun kadar pengangguran pada Disember, selepas meningkat untuk sebahagian besar tahun lepas, dan terdapat tanda-tanda lain pasaran pekerjaan mungkin stabil. Bilangan orang yang memohon faedah pengangguran kekal rendah secara sejarah, tanda pembuangan pekerja tidak meningkat mendadak. Sementara itu, inflasi dan sebenarnya meningkat sedikit tahun lepas, mengikut ukuran pilihan Fed. Harga meningkat 2.8% pada November dari tahun sebelumnya, data terkini yang ada. Ia meningkat dari 2.6% pada November 2024. Melainkan perniagaan mula memotong pekerjaan atau kadar pengangguran meningkat, Fed tidak berkemungkinan akan memotong kadar lagi untuk sekurang-kurangnya beberapa bulan, kata ahli ekonomi. Jika inflasi menurun perlahan-lahan tahun ini, seperti yang dijangkakan ahli ekonomi, Fed mungkin memotong lagi pada musim bunga atau musim panas. Pelabur Wall Street menjangkakan hanya dua pengurangan kadar suku peratus tahun ini, mengikut harga niaga hadapan. Ramai ahli ekonomi menjangkakan pertumbuhan boleh meningkat dalam bulan-bulan akan datang, yang akan menjadi sebab lain untuk menangguhkan potongan kadar. Gapen menganggarkan bahawa bayaran balik cukai boleh menjadi kira-kira 20% lebih tinggi musim bunga ini berbanding tahun lepas apabila potongan cukai pentadbiran Trump berkuat kuasa. Bayaran balik boleh mencapai purata $3,500, kata Gapen. Ekonomi berkembang pada kadar tahunan 4.4% dalam suku Julai-September tahun lepas dan mungkin telah berkembang pada kadar yang sama sihatnya dalam tiga bulan terakhir tahun lepas. Jika pertumbuhan kukuh tersebut berterusan, pegawai Fed berkemungkinan akan menunggu untuk melihat sama ada pengambilan pekerja juga meningkat, mengurangkan lagi keperluan untuk lebih banyak potongan kadar.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Radisson Announces Additional High-Grade Drill Results at O’Brien Including 23.37 g/t Au over 4.0 Metres and the Deepest Intercept to Date

January 27, 2026
Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - January 27, 2026) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce assay results from seven new drill holes completed at its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The seven holes are the latest completed as part of the Company's ongoing 140,000-metre step-out drill program designed to test the overall scope of gold mineralization at the Project (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025). Three separate and equally significant results are contained within the new data (summarized below, and in Figure 1):1. Broad Mineralized Zones with High-Grade Vein Intercepts at "Trend #1", Extending New Mineralization to 1,450 Metres Vertical Depth, 375 Metres Below the Existing Mineral ResourcesOB-25-322W3 intersected 23.37 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 4.0 metres (core length) including 60.60 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and 2.50 g/t Au over 19.0 metres including 4.94 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and including 3.93 g/t Au over 3.0 metres;OB-25-322W4 intersected 2.37 g/t Au over 11.5 metres including 10.89 g/t Au over 1.0 metre;2. Completion of Final 14th and 15th Wedges from Pilot Hole OB-24-337, Continuing the Delineation of New Mineralization in Multiple Veins Beneath the Historic Mine Workings OB-25-337W15 intersected 5.38 g/t Au over 4.5 metres including 8.86 g/t Au over 1.5 metres;OB-25-337W14 intersected 1.49 g/t Au over 16.1 metres including 4.26 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and including 3.37 g/t Au over 1.5 metres;3. Deepest Ever Intercept Beneath the Historic Mine with a New, Deep Pilot Hole Extending Mineralization to 1,620 Metres Vertical Depth and Providing Platform for Further DrillingOB-25-378 intersected 15.70 g/t Au over 1.1 metres;Matt Manson, President and CEO: "This latest batch of drill assays from O'Brien contain notable results from several areas of focus in our 140,000 metre step-out drill program. We continue to push the limits of known mineralization at O'Brien outwards and downwards. Two wedges completed from drill hole OB-24-322 demonstrate more characteristic zones of broad and mineralized alteration with high-grade quartz-sulphide-gold veins, pushing the known extents of the Project's "Trend #1" to a new depth extent of 1,450 metres. Beneath the historic O'Brien Mine, we have been reporting for the past 12 months the progressive delineation of a broad system of high-grade veins showing good continuity with the former mine workings above. The final two wedges drilled from the pilot hole OB-24-337 have also successfully intercepted these veins with reliable consistency. In fact, each of the fifteen wedges drilled from this pilot hole have returned vein intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's mineral resources: a 100% success rate in this developing area. Now, new pilot hole OB-25-378, representing a step-down in depth again, has intercepted further, multiple mineralized zones and high-grades, pushing this area of gold mineralization down to 1,620 metres vertical depth, the deepest intercepts yet achieved at the Project. We have not yet found the bottom of the O'Brien gold system. Six rigs are active at the Project site, with two more rigs mobilizing shortly."Figure 1: Longitudinal Vertical Section and Plan View of Gold Vein Mineralization and Mineral Resources at the O'Brien Gold Project, with Today's Drill Holes IllustratedTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/281737_74e08c8d6491c912_001full.jpgTable 1: Assay Results from Select Drill HolesDDHZone From(m) To(m) CoreLength(m)Au g/t -UncutHost LithologyOB-25-322W3Trend #1 1,379.51,381.01.503.24V3-S 1,443.51,444.81.305.31POR-S 1,472.0 1,491.0 19.002.50 S1p/POR-N Including 1,477.0 1,478.5 1.504.94 S1p Including 1,484.5 1,487.5 3.003.93 S1p 1,531.0 1,535.0 4.0023.37 POR-N/V3-N Including 1,532.5 1,534.0 1.5060.60 POR-N/V3-N OB-25-322W4Trend #1 1,250.01,251.51.503.85V3-S 1,341.5 1,353.0 11.502.37 POR-S Including 1,347.5 1,348.5 1.0010.89 POR-S OB-25-337W14O'Brien Mine East 1,206.01,210.04.003.13V3-S 1,209.01,210.01.004.70V3-S 1,215.4 1,231.5 16.101.49 POR-S/V3-CEN Including 1,218.0 1,219.5 1.504.26 POR-S/V3-CEN Including 1,225.5 1,227.0 1.503.37 POR-S/V3-CEN 1,237.51,240.32.803.81V3-CEN 1,239.01,240.31.307.11V3-CEN 1,272.01,273.51.508.48S1pOB-25-337W15O'Brien Mine East 1,247.01,251.04.005.11V3-CEN 1,248.01,249.01.009.84V3-CEN 1,306.0 1,310.5 4.505.38 V3-N Including 1,307.5 1,309.0 1.508.86 V3-N OB-25-377W1O'Brien Mine West 1,204.9 1,214.3 9.403.48 V3-CEN Including 1,206.4 1,210.7 4.305.92 V3-CEN 1,224.91,226.01.103.00V3-CEN / S1p 1,243.01,245.02.004.74S1pIncluding1,244.01,245.01.006.44S1pOB-25-377W2O'Brien Mine West 1,302.01,303.01.008.09POR-N 1,327.71,329.82.103.67V3-NOB-25-378O'Brien Mine East 1,665.51,667.01.503.07POR-S 1,673.8 1,674.9 1.1015.70 POR-S 1,681.31,682.31.003.47POR-S 1,702.61,704.01.403.26V3-CEN Notes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts:The O'Brien Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate effective May 6, 2025 ("MRE") utilizes a 2.20 g/t Au bottom cut-off, a US$2,000 gold price, a minimum mining width of 1.2 metres, and a 40 g/t Au upper cap on composites. Intercepts presented in Table 1 are calculated with a 3.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off. True widths, based on depth of intercept and drill hole inclination, are estimated to be 30-80% of core length. Table 2 presents additional drill intercepts calculated with a 1.00 g/t bottom cut-off over a minimum 1.0 metre core length so as to illustrate the frequency and continuity of mineralized intervals within which high-grade gold veins at O'Brien are developed. Lithology Codes: PON-S3: Pontiac Sediments; V3-S, V3-N, V3-CEN: Basalt-South, North, Central; S1P, S3P: Conglomerate; POR-S, POR-N: Porphyry South, North; TX: Crystal Tuff; ZFLLC: Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault Zone.Gold Mineralization at O'BrienGold mineralizing quartz-sulphide veins at O'Brien occur within a thin band of interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the east-west oriented Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Gold, along with pyrite and arsenopyrite, is typically associated with shearing and a pervasive biotite alteration, and developed within multiple Piché Group lithologies and, occasionally, the hanging-wall Pontiac and footwall Cadillac meta-sedimentary rocks.As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. Individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with steeply plunging grade shoots developed over significant lengths. Based on the historic data available, it is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with mining focussed on a main central stope and parallel veins identified but left undeveloped.The historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such veins and shoots at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au and over a vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres. Modern exploration has focussed on delineating well developed vein mineralization to the east of the historic mine, with additional high-grade shoots becoming evident in the exploration data over what has been described as a series of repeating trends ("Trend #s 0 to 5").Figure 2: Deep Step-Out Drill Holes Completed and/or Published by the Company since December 2024To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/281737_74e08c8d6491c912_003full.jpgStep-Out Drilling at O'BrienSince the end of 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-outs beneath the historic O'Brien Gold mine and the existing mineral resources designed to test the extent of mineralization at the Project. This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency. On October 16, 2025, Radisson announced the expansion of the step-out drill program to 140,000 metres employing an eventual eight drill rigs. Since this program began, 84% of completed drill holes have intersected gold mineralization with grades and core-lengths consistent with the Project's Mineral Resources (Table 2).Table 2: Drill Results Published for the O'Brien Gold Project since December 2024Date of PublicationTotal Number of Drill HolesDrill Holes withIntercepts >+3g/tSuccess Rate (%)January 27th, 202677100%January 6th, 20266583%28th October 2025151387%8th September, 2025151387%16th July 2025141179%2nd April 202533100%26th February 2025201575%16th December 202411100%Total816884% The origin of the step-out drill program was the deep pilot hole OB-24-337, which was the first exploration drill hole located below the former mine workings since mining ended in 1957. This hole intersected 31.24 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, including 242.0 g/t Au over 1.0 metre at approximately 1,500 metres vertical depth (see Radisson news release dated December 16, 2024). With today's results, a full complement of assay results from all fifteen wedges drilled from OB-24-337 have now been reported and up to eight gold-bearing veins have been delineated. Drilling in this area will now focus on new pilot hole OB-25-378 which has been successfully completed to a vertical depth of 1,740 metres. This hole has returned multiple zones of alteration and gold mineralization, showing continuity with the multiple-vein system modelled above, and a high-grade vein intercept of 15.70 g/t Au over 1.1 metres at 1,620 metres vertical depth, the deepest intercept ever returned at the Project. Taken together, the results extend the area of new mineralization beneath the historic mine workings to approximately 250 metres (east-west) by 600 metres (vertical). Drilling of the first wedge from pilot hole OB-25-378 is currently underway.Today's release includes drill assays from two wedges completed from pilot hole OB-24-322 testing the downward extension of the Project's "Trend #1". Both wedges returned broad zones of mineralized alteration with high-grade vein intercepts, including OB-25-322W3 with 23.37 g/t Au over 4.0 metres including 60.60 g/t Au over 1.5 metres. Recall that drilling in this area has returned similarly high-grade intercepts, including OB-24-324 with 27.61 g/t Au over 6.0 metres including 102.0 g/t Au over 1.1 metres and 6.83 g/t Au over 10.0 metres including 40.2 g/t Au over 1.5 metres, and the OB-24-322 pilot hole itself which returned 8.75 g/t Au over 5.2 metres including 27.2 g/t Au over 1.4 metres (Figure 3 and Radisson news release dated September 24, 2024). These results, taken together, have extended gold mineralization at Trend #1 to 1,450 metres vertical depth, 375 metres below the current Mineral Resources.Today's release also includes results from two wedges from pilot hole OB-25-377 located between the western and eastern portions of the former mine (Figure 1). These holes have returned multiple zones of mineralization, such as OB-25-377W1 with 3.48 g/t Au over 9.4 metres including 5.92 g/t Au over 4.3 metres. This area had previously been thought to have lower potential for new mineral resources, given the absence of mining stopes above. The new intercepts illustrate the broad extent of the O'Brien gold mineralizing system and the high-grading nature of the former mine.Figure 3: Vertical Cross Section through "Trend #1 with Pilot Holes OB-24-322 and 324, and WedgesTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/281737_74e08c8d6491c912_004full.jpgTable 3: Detailed Assay Results (see "Notes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts")DDHZone From(m) To(m) CoreLength(m)Au g/t -UncutHost LithologyOB-25-322W3Trend #1 1,379.5 1,381.0 1.503.24V3-S 1,440.51,444.84.302.48POR-SIncluding 1,443.5 1,444.8 1.305.31POR-S 1,472.01,491.019.002.50S1p/POR-NIncluding 1,477.0 1,478.5 1.504.94S1pIncluding 1,484.5 1,487.5 3.003.93S1p 1,531.0 1,535.0 4.0023.37POR-N/V3-NIncluding 1,532.5 1,534.0 1.5060.60POR-N/V3-N 1,538.21,539.51.301.28S3pOB-25-322W4Trend #1 1,247.01,251.54.502.57V3-SIncluding 1,250.0 1,251.5 1.503.85V3-S 1,334.01,335.51.501.55POR-S 1,341.51,353.011.502.37POR-SIncluding 1,347.5 1,348.5 1.0010.89POR-S 1,360.21,364.24.001.10POR-S 1,377.51,383.56.001.28S1p 1,405.01,406.51.501.40POR-NOB-25-337W14O'Brien Mine East 1,109.01,110.51.503.06PON-S3 1,188.01,189.51.501.24V3-S 1,195.51,197.01.501.81V3-S 1,206.0 1,210.0 4.003.13V3-SIncluding 1,209.0 1,210.0 1.004.70V3-S 1,215.41,231.516.101.49POR-S/V3-CENIncluding 1,218.0 1,219.5 1.504.26POR-S/V3-CENIncluding 1,225.5 1,227.0 1.503.37POR-S/V3-CEN 1,237.5 1,240.3 2.803.81V3-CENIncluding 1,239.0 1,240.3 1.307.11V3-CEN 1,264.51,266.01.501.05S1p 1,272.0 1,273.5 1.508.48S1p 1,283.31,284.81.502.09TX 1,328.01,329.51.502.58S3pOB-25-337W15O'Brien Mine East 1,239.01,240.11.101.11POR-S 1,247.0 1,251.0 4.005.11V3-CENIncluding 1,248.0 1,249.0 1.009.84V3-CEN 1,282.51,284.01.501.06S1p 1,293.01,294.01.001.13POR-N 1,296.01,297.41.401.74POR-N 1,298.91,300.01.101.34V3-N 1,306.0 1,310.5 4.505.38V3-NIncluding 1,307.5 1,309.0 1.508.86V3-NOB-25-377W1O'Brien Mine West 1,196.91,197.91.001.44V3-CEN 1,204.9 1,214.3 9.403.48V3-CENIncluding 1,206.4 1,210.7 4.305.92V3-CEN 1,222.01,227.55.501.94V3-CEN / S1pIncluding 1,224.9 1,226.0 1.103.00V3-CEN / S1p 1,235.01,236.51.502.80S1p 1,243.0 1,245.0 2.004.74S1pIncluding 1,244.0 1,245.0 1.006.44S1p 1,249.01,250.01.001.18S1p 1,271.51,272.71.201.30V3-NOB-25-377W2O'Brien Mine West 1,206.61,210.53.901.76POR-S / V3-CEN 1,291.01,296.05.001.10S1p 1,297.41,304.57.102.03POR-NIncluding 1,302.0 1,303.0 1.008.09 POR-N 1,327.71,333.55.801.97V3-NIncluding 1,327.7 1,329.8 2.103.67V3-NOB-25-378O'Brien Mine East 1,653.01,654.51.501.10POR-S 1,664.01,667.03.002.14POR-SIncluding 1,665.5 1,667.0 1.503.07 POR-S 1,673.8 1,674.9 1.1015.70 POR-S 1,681.31,689.98.601.15POR-SIncluding 1,681.3 1,682.3 1.003.47 POR-S 1,701.51,704.02.502.40V3-CENIncluding 1,702.6 1,704.0 1.403.26 V3-CEN 1,713.51,715.01.503.47S1p 1,746.51,748.01.502.01TX Table 4: Drill Hole Collar Information for Holes contained in this News Release HELLODDHZoneEastingNorthingAzimuthDipHole Length (m)OB-25-322W3Trend #169419953450980-85.0687.0OB-25-322W4Trend #169419953450980-85.0650.0OB-25-337W14O'Brien Mine East6937005345070346-79.5460.0OB-25-337W15O'Brien Mine East6937005345070346-79.5476.0OB-25-377W1O'Brien Mine West6932725345054345-79.5686.0OB-25-377W2O'Brien Mine West6932725345054345-79.5710.0OB-25-378O'Brien Mine East6936405345014357-83.01820.0Notes:Hole lengths for wedges represent meterage from point of wedge.

Eropah masih merupakan rumah bagi sesetengah penemu terhebat di dunia. — yang telah berjaya mengubahnya sendiri daripada merek kecantikan kepada syarikat teknologi selama lebih daripada sepuluh tahun — hingga Nokia — yang mula-mula adalah kilang kertas liat pada abad ke-19 sebelum menjadi terkenal dengan membuat telefon bimbit tahan lama dan, sekarang, teknologi rangkaian yang menghubungkan segala-galanya daripada antena hingga pusat data. Perniagaan Eropah memahami kekuatan perubahan arah, . Sesetengah ahli senarai mempunyai punca yang boleh merujuk kembali seratusan tahun, termasuklah , dan .

Dalam tempoh sembilan bulan akan datang, kami akan menjalankan siri webinar untuk meneroka apa yang menjadikan perniagaan 500 Europe berfungsi. Dengan bercakap dengan pemimpin daripada beberapa syarikat yang paling berjaya di rantau ini, sesi-sesi ini akan membincangkan cara untuk mengatasi krisis talenta, menentukan prioriti tujuan dan mengukur pulangan modal investasi (ROI) projek AI — dan banyak lagi. Ini akan mencapai puncak dengan kami yang berpusat di London pada 16 September, satu perhimpunan khusus untuk mereka yang mengetuai perniagaan ini, dan peluang untuk membandingkan strategi, berkongsi idea dan berhubung rangkaian dalam komuniti rakan seiras CEO.

NTT DOCOMO Develops a Solution to Streamline DOOH Advertiser Review Operations

January 26, 2026
TOKYO, Japan, Jan 27, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT DOCOMO, INC. announced today that it has developed a solution to streamline pre-publication advertiser review operations for Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising, including digital signage and large-format displays in public and urban spaces, in collaboration with LIVE BOARD, Inc.The solution improves the efficiency of advertiser review processes conducted prior to DOOH ad distribution. By applying large language models (LLMs) to multiple review items that were previously handled manually, the solution is expected to reduce digital advertiser review workloads by over 30%.DOOH advertiser reviews require checks against publicly available information on advertisers and compliance with various guidelines. As the volume of DOOH ad placements has increased significantly in recent years, review time and operational costs have become major challenges. DOOH ad reviews generally consist of two components: advertiser review and creative review. This newly developed solution focuses on streamlining advertiser reviews, which verify advertiser credibility as a prerequisite for DOOH ad distribution.Figure 1. Solution Application OverviewWhen using LLMs for advertiser reviews, two limitations arise: limited information freshness and limited access to external resources. The former refers to the difficulty of keeping information up to date, while the latter includes issues such as invalid URLs generated by LLMs. To address these challenges, DOCOMO developed this new solution by integrating five core technologies, enabling the AI to quickly obtain accurate and sufficient information for advertiser reviews.Core Technologies of the SolutionWeb search-based grounding technologyAutomated generation of company profile research resultsAutomated generation of legal compliance review resultsAutomated generation of risk assessment resultsAutomated generation of media-specific competitor analysis resultsGoing forward, DOCOMO aims to develop an AI-based technology to streamline creative reviews by applying AI to manual repetitive visual checks of video content for large public displays from the perspective of broadcast ethics and legal regulations. In addition, the company will continue to further enhance the efficiency of DOOH advertising review operations, aiming to refine advertising-related technologies and revitalize the advertising business. Through this, DOCOMO will pursue research and development to optimize the entirety of DOOH operations.AppendixOverview of the DOOH Advertiser Review Solution1.Overview Advertiser reviews verify credibility and compliance based on multiple checks, including company profiles, legal compliance, risk, and media-specific competition. For the investigation, various information available on the internet will be required, such as the advertiser's name, product name, official website, and detailed pages related to the product. This solution consolidates information gathering and multi-angle reviews using online data, and outputs review decisions with supporting reasons. By automating processes previously handled manually, it is expected to improve efficiency by more than 30%.2.System ConfigurationThe solution integrates web search-based grounding with automated generation of company profile, legal compliance, risk, and media-specific competitor review results. By combining these technologies with review criteria databases and diverse online information sources, and designing them around advertiser review workflows and expertise, the system enables accurate and timely retrieval of relevant information and the rapid, integrated execution of multiple review processes.System Framework2.1 Web Search-Based Grounding TechnologyWhen generating responses, the AI references external web search services to access up-to-date and reliable sources and produces outputs based on that information.2.2 Automated Company Profile GenerationThe AI accurately retrieves and displays company profile information from official websites, including company name, headquarters location, date of establishment, capital, representative, business description, and contact URLs or phone numbers.2.3 Automated Legal Compliance ReviewThe AI collects the latest information on an advertiser's legal compliance from multiple sources, conducts assessments based on current data, and outputs review results.2.4 Automated Risk AssessmentUsing the latest publicly available information from various sources, the AI evaluates potential risks related to the advertiser and outputs assessment results.2.5 Automated Media-Specific Competitor ReviewBased on the advertiser's industry and products, the AI accesses a review criteria database containing media-specific competition checks and product-based standards, and outputs eligible media, media names, and a detailed summary file of the review results.By integrating these component technologies, DOCOMO will further improve the efficiency of the advertiser review process.
