Pierre Poilievre Kanada Patut Berundur

(SeaPRwire) - Pierre Poilievre dari Kanada kembali selepas . Pemimpin Parti Konservatif pada hari Isnin di Battle River-Crowfoot, sebuah daerah pilihan raya Tory di Alberta yang tidak pernah didiaminya. Beliau akhirnya boleh kembali ke Parlimen selepas malu kehilangan kerusi sendiri di Carleton, Ottawa, semasa pilihan raya persekutuan pada bulan April, yang menyaksikan Konservatif kepada Liberal Party yang dipimpin oleh bekas pegawai bank pusat . Poilievre memenangi pilihan raya kecilnya dengan . Seorang pemerhati biasa mungkin menganggap hanya sedikit yang menuntut Poilievre meletak jawatan sebagai pemimpin Tory dengan margin yang sihat sedemikian, tersilap menganggap satu daerah parlimen sebagai negara—atau parti. Itu kesilapan yang cukup adil. Sesetengah orang, , berhujah hanya beberapa bulan lalu agar beliau kekal. Lagipun, Konservatif telah mencapai prestasi pilihan raya umum yang kukuh dengan , tetapi . Poilievre adalah pemimpin yang mantap yang hanya perlu menunggu Parti Liberal runtuh, yang mana mereka akan lakukan, akhirnya, seperti yang dilakukan oleh semua Liberal pada masanya. April beralih kepada Mei dan Jun, dan ketika musim panas tiba, Parti Liberal kekal ketika Carney terus mengejutkan Konservatif dengan memberikan hampir semua yang mereka inginkan. Ada sesuatu mengenainya, dengan Poilievre mencapai kehendaknya—penamatan yang tidak popular, , halangan perdagangan dalaman yang lebih rendah, dan kerajaan yang komited sepenuhnya untuk membina . Apabila pramugari Air Canada dalam beberapa hari kebelakangan ini, menteri buruh Carney meminta Canada Industrial Relations Board untuk , satu langkah yang mungkin dijangka daripada Poilievre. Pengkritik telah bertanya sama ada, dengan Liberal seperti ini, seseorang masih memerlukan Konservatif, atau , sekurang-kurangnya. Pada bulan Januari, Poilievre menghadapi , dan sekaranglah masanya untuk bertanya sama ada beliau patut kekal. Semakin hari, jawapannya adalah tidak. Sudah tentu, beliau memenangi pilihan raya kecilnya dengan mudah. Tetapi ia adalah salah satu kerusi Tory paling selamat di Kanada, dan dikosongkan oleh Damien Kurek, yang agar pemimpinnya dapat kembali ke pejabat. Ia adalah satu langkah yang menjejaskan kepimpinan Poilievre walaupun ia mengesahkannya, terpaksa bertanding di sebuah daerah yang mudah ketika beberapa bulan sebelumnya beliau kelihatan pasti akan menjadi Perdana Menteri. Sejak April, Poilievre tidak dapat meraih sokongan terhadap Parti Liberal Carney. Masalah besar bagi pemimpin Konservatif ialah apabila pengundi bertemu dengannya, apabila mereka mengenali beliau, mereka tidak menyukainya, yang meletakkan partinya pada kedudukan yang kurang menguntungkan dari segi struktur. Angus Reid Institute mendapati angka ketidakpopularan pemimpin Konservatif kekal tinggi. Merujuk kembali ke musim luruh 2022, lebih 50% daripada mereka yang disurvei tidak menyukai Poilievre. Angka itu tidak pernah lebih baik daripada 49%, dan kini berada pada 57%. Angka beliau amat menyedihkan di kalangan wanita dan pengundi muda, tetapi walaupun di kalangan kumpulan umur 55+ yang secara tradisinya mengundi Konservatif, Poilievre hanya mencapai 39% kelulusan. Apa yang lebih penting, semasa pilihan raya persekutuan yang lalu, di mana kepimpinan menjadi tema berterusan di tengah-tengah yang tidak pernah berlaku daripada Presiden Donald Trump untuk menjadikan Kanada “negeri ke-51” dan mengenakan tarif yang memusnahkan, Carney mengatasi Poilievre dalam kualiti disenangi dan tadbir urus. Pada bulan Julai, Abacus Data mendapati Carney masih , satu kelebihan yang, sekiranya dikekalkan, boleh membantu Parti Liberal akhirnya mengubah minoriti parlimen mereka menjadi majoriti. Poilievre berkata pada bulan Julai “setiap pilihan raya datang dengan pelajaran.” Tetapi nadanya tidak pernah berubah. Beliau kekal sebagai pejuang budaya yang berdoktrin. Pada bulan Ogos, Poilievre , menggelarnya “cukai Carney” dalam satu langkah yang mengingatkan pertempuran partinya “axe the tax” menentang penetapan harga karbon. Tindakan ini datang ketika Trump . Tetapi fokus ini membuatkan Poilievre kelihatan terlalu rapat dengan Trump dan berisiko memakan diri jika Carney meneruskan dan sekali lagi meninggalkan dasar era . Mungkin perkara paling teruk yang boleh dikatakan tentang Poilievre ialah beliau telah menjadi tidak relevan. Beliau adalah versi yang kurang berkemampuan, kurang berpengalaman, kurang disukai dari seorang Liberal perniagaan yang komited kepada cukai rendah, rejim kawal selia yang ringkas, dan pembangunan infrastruktur serta sumber. Parti Konservatif memerlukan set semula—kembali ke papan lukisan. Mereka memerlukan pemimpin yang disukai yang sekurang-kurangnya kelihatan seperti mereka mempunyai keupayaan untuk berhubung dengan rakyat dari semasa ke semasa. Kemungkinan besar Parti Liberal, kini hampir 10 tahun berkuasa, akan menjatuhkan diri mereka sendiri, seperti yang dilakukan oleh semua kerajaan. Tetapi Poilievre telah membuktikan bahawa beliau tidak mahu atau tidak mampu menyesuaikan diri dengan situasi politik yang berbeza daripada yang dinikmati partinya sebelum Trump dan tarif. Atas sebab itu sahaja, ada sebab yang baik untuk Parti Konservatif menyingkirkan Poilievre lebih cepat daripada lambat. Menjelang Januari, jika parti tidak mencapai nasib yang lebih baik, sesetengah Konservatif mungkin akan cuba melakukan perkara itu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Beth Ford: Badai Sedang Berhimpun dalam Pertanian Amerika berita

Beth Ford: Badai Sedang Berhimpun dalam Pertanian Amerika

(SeaPRwire) - Kekurangan pemahaman tentang pertanian Amerika, asas sistem makanan, bermula di kebanyakan meja makan—termasuk saya sendiri. Saya baru-baru ini bertanya kepada salah seorang anak saya, “Berapa ramai penternak tenusu yang anda fikir ada di negara ini? Berapa ramai penanam jagung, kacang dan gandum?” “Sepuluh juta,” adalah jawapan pantasnya. Jawapan yang betul ialah 24,000 penternak tenusu dan 400,000 penanam. Dan mengikut anggaran dalaman kami, angka-angka ini akan segera menurun kepada hanya 21,000 dan 300,000, masing-masing. Secara keseluruhan, kami hanya mempunyai 28% daripada ladang yang kami miliki 90 tahun yang lalu. Musim panas ini, saya telah meluangkan masa di ladang-ladang di seluruh negara. Dan apabila mereka melangkah ke musim menuai, saya meraikan kegembiraan dan jangkaan mereka untuk melihat ganjaran daripada kerja keras mereka. Tetapi tahun ini, saya juga mendengar kebimbangan—amaran yang suram, tetapi realistik tentang ribut yang akan datang tanpa pelabuhan selamat yang sebenar. Petani bijirin hari ini menghadapi ekonomi yang paling mencabar sejak tahun 2009. Keselamatan makanan adalah keselamatan negara. Laluan perdagangan beralih. Kadar faedah tinggi. Harga komoditi semakin menurun. Tenaga buruh tidak mencukupi dan tidak dapat diakses, dan tiada kepastian mengenai Rang Undang-undang Ladang yang baharu, atau jaring keselamatan yang biasanya disediakannya. Beberapa faktor ini bukan baharu, tetapi kerumitan gabungan isu-isu, dan kelajuan ia semakin pantas, adalah sesuatu yang perlu diberi perhatian. Ia bukan hanya satu perkara. Ia adalah semua perkara. Kebankrapan ladang telah meningkat kira-kira , berbanding tahun lepas. Faktor-faktor ini bukan sahaja menjejaskan petani, tetapi juga komuniti mereka. Kira-kira lima tahun yang lalu, saya bahawa petani berada dalam krisis dan Amerika tidak memberi perhatian. Dengan berbuat demikian, saya menekankan pergolakan pasaran dan bencana alam, serta kesan langsung terhadap mereka yang menyediakan makanan di meja kita dan yang penting, komuniti tempat mereka tinggal dan bekerja. Beberapa perkara kekal sama bagi sistem makanan dan komuniti yang menyokongnya. Pada tahun 2024, , ukuran utama keuntungan, menurun sebanyak $8.2 bilion—penurunan 5.6%, selepas penurunan 19.4% pada tahun 2023. Selain itu, pendapatan ladang median yang diperoleh oleh isi rumah ladang dianggarkan negatif $328 pada tahun 2025. Bayangkan itu—setahun berpeluh dan berusaha untuk kerugian $328. Kebanyakan anggaran menunjukkan bahawa kurang daripada 5% ladang akan menguntungkan tahun ini, untuk tahun ketiga berturut-turut. Malah, hampir 90% keluarga petani perlu bergantung kepada pendapatan luar ladang untuk memastikan operasi mereka berdaya maju dan untuk memberi makan keluarga mereka sendiri. Ketersediaan tenaga buruh dan isu imigresen memburukkan lagi cabaran tersebut. Selain itu, dasar perdagangan yang berkembang telah menyingkirkan beberapa pasaran tradisional pada saat tepat eksport semakin kukuh dan sedang menuju ke arah swasembada makanan. Cuaca terus menjadi isu seperti , , dan mendominasi berita utama secara kerap. Teknologi boleh membantu, tetapi walaupun rang undang-undang infrastruktur dwipartisan 2021, jalur lebar masih tidak dapat diakses di komuniti luar bandar sebagaimana yang sepatutnya. Dua puluh peratus penduduk luar bandar tidak mempunyai akses kepada . Tiada teknologi bermakna sedikit akses kepada penjagaan kesihatan dan penciptaan pekerjaan baharu. Selain itu, mengautomasikan operasi ladang tidak pernah semahal ini. Tahun depan akan menandakan tanaman ditanam dalam sejarah A.S. Harga bijirin komoditi terus menurun, dan kos input tanaman meningkat—dan terus meningkat. Petani menyimpan dan melabur empat tahun lalu apabila pasaran komoditi menjana sedikit keuntungan dan terdapat bantuan untuk bantuan bencana alam. Kini, simpanan tersebut telah habis bagi kebanyakan mereka. Apabila firma ekuiti swasta telah menjadi pembeli kewangan tanah ladang, trend penyatuan berubah. Di Iowa sahaja, daripada 30 juta ekar tanah ladangnya akan beralih. Apabila ladang dimiliki oleh firma, bukan keluarga, komuniti akan layu. Pertanian kontrak tidak menanam akar komuniti. Dan petani semakin tua. Terdapat yang berumur 75 tahun ke atas berbanding di bawah umur 35 tahun. Sebagai koperasi milik petani, kami melihat ramai ahli kami bekerja keras untuk mengekalkan ladang mereka dalam keluarga. Walaupun pengguna mungkin belum melihat kesan penuh awan ribut yang semakin berkumpul yang dihadapi oleh Pertanian A.S., mereka perlu memberi perhatian. Saya sering mengatakan bahawa kita mesti memberi tumpuan kepada dasar, bukan politik. Ini bukan politik, ini praktikal. Isu-isu ini telah wujud selama berdekad-dekad. Sistem makanan Amerika secara historis stabil, selamat, dan berpatutan. Petani telah menanggung risiko terbesar dalam rantaian nilai makanan dan beban itu semakin tidak tertanggung tanpa penghujung yang kelihatan. Apa yang boleh kita lakukan? Kita memerlukan agenda perdagangan yang teguh yang membuka akses pasaran untuk produk A.S. Kita memerlukan reformasi imigresen yang menyediakan keselamatan sempadan dan menyelesaikan cabaran tenaga buruh kita. Dan kita memerlukan Rang Undang-undang Ladang baharu untuk memberikan kepastian kepada petani Amerika dalam masa yang tidak menentu ini. Ini adalah pemacu utama dan tentu saja, ada cara tambahan untuk membantu. Petani adalah berdaya tahan, tabah, dan pragmatik. Tambahan pula, 20% daripada populasi A.S. tinggal di kawasan luar bandar Amerika dan mereka merangkumi 44% daripada tentera. Perkhidmatan tertanam dalam komuniti ladang. Kita mesti memberi perhatian kepada ribut yang akan datang sebelum terlambat. Itulah yang saya beritahu anak-anak saya di meja makan kami. Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Rumah Putih Melancarkan Akaun TikTok ketika Tarikh Akhir Penjualan Aplikasi atau Larangan A.S. Semakin Hampir

(SeaPRwire) - Rumah Putih telah membuat sebuah hanya beberapa minggu sebelum yang dilanjutkan oleh Presiden Donald Trump untuk dijual kepada pembeli bukan Cina atau berdepan larangan di A.S. Akaun tersebut, @whitehouse, dilancarkan pada petang Selasa dan memperoleh lebih 80,000 pengikut setakat awal Rabu. Kempen Trump menggunakan sebuah , yang kini mempunyai lebih 15 juta pengikut, sebelum pilihan raya presiden tahun lalu. Pembantu Trump tahun lalu bahawa TikToknya adalah “pelancaran paling berjaya dalam sejarah politik” dan menganggapnya sebagai “resepi rahsia” beliau. “Saya adalah suara anda,” umum Trump dalam video pertama yang dimuat naik ke akaun Rumah Putih, memaparkan rakaman beliau yang disatukan dan kapsyen bertulis, “Amerika kami KEMBALI! Apa khabar TikTok?” Amerika kami KEMBALI! Apa khabar TikTok? “Pentadbiran Trump komited untuk menyampaikan kejayaan bersejarah yang telah disampaikan oleh Presiden Trump kepada rakyat Amerika dengan seberapa banyak audiens dan platform yang mungkin,” kata Setiausaha Akhbar Rumah Putih Karoline Leavitt kepada pada hari Selasa. “Mesej Presiden Trump mendominasi TikTok semasa kempen presidennya, dan kami teruja untuk membina kejayaan tersebut dan berkomunikasi dengan cara yang belum pernah dilakukan oleh pentadbiran lain sebelum ini.” Pegawai persekutuan pada peranti kerja dengan pengecualian terhad, menurut undang-undang yang diluluskan semasa Pentadbiran Biden. Evolusi TikTok Trump Pentadbiran Trump telah berusaha untuk merundingkan perjanjian penjualan TikTok, yang dimiliki oleh syarikat Cina ByteDance, kepada sebelum 17 September. Aplikasi itu di A.S. selepas Presiden Joe Biden menandatangani undang-undang bipartisan tahun lalu yang memerlukan ByteDance untuk melupuskan aplikasi itu atas kebimbangan keselamatan negara. TikTok telah berhujah bahawa larangan A.S. melanggar Pindaan Pertama, walaupun Mahkamah Agung mengekalkan larangan tersebut. Pada petang 18 Januari, aplikasi itu dari kedai aplikasi A.S. dan pengguna disambut dengan mesej berbunyi, “Maaf, TikTok tidak tersedia buat masa ini. Undang-undang yang melarang TikTok telah digubal di A.S. Malangnya ini bermakna anda tidak boleh menggunakan TikTok buat masa ini.” Beberapa jam kemudian, aplikasi itu kembali aktif apabila Trump bahawa beliau melanjutkan tarikh akhir untuk ByteDance menjualnya. Mesej pada aplikasi itu berbunyi: “Terima kasih atas kesabaran dan sokongan anda. Hasil usaha Presiden Trump, TikTok kembali di A.S.!” CEO TikTok , yang menghadiri majlis pelantikan Trump, Trump atas lanjutan itu dalam mesej video. Presiden telah beberapa kali lagi sejak itu, walaupun penjualan sebelum tarikh akhir September semasa kelihatan tidak pasti. Trump pada Jun bahawa perjanjian dengan “sekumpulan orang yang sangat kaya” hampir dicapai, bergantung kepada kelulusan dari Beijing. Trump juga bahawa beliau terhadap China mungkin telah menyukarkan penjualan. Trump sendiri telah sebagai ancaman keselamatan negara semasa penggal presiden pertamanya, dan larangan ke atas aplikasi itu telah . “Penyebaran aplikasi mudah alih yang dibangunkan dan dimiliki oleh syarikat di [China] di Amerika Syarikat terus mengancam keselamatan negara, dasar luar, dan ekonomi Amerika Syarikat,” sebuah yang ditandatangani oleh Trump pada tahun 2020 berbunyi. “Amerika Syarikat mesti mengambil tindakan agresif terhadap pemilik TikTok untuk melindungi keselamatan negara kita.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Penduduk California Mengatakan AI Bergerak ‘Terlalu Cepat’ berita

Penduduk California Mengatakan AI Bergerak ‘Terlalu Cepat’

(SeaPRwire) - Helo dan selamat datang ke edisi Selasa In the Loop. Saya menulis kepada anda sambil melihat pemandangan bandar San Francisco yang cerah, tempat saya menghabiskan minggu ini dalam perjalanan laporan. Jika anda sedang mengerjakan sesuatu yang menarik di sini dan ingin bertegur sapa, sila hantar e-mel kepada saya di . Apa Yang Perlu Diketahui: Warga California Takut Terhadap AI Warga California lebih bimbang daripada teruja tentang masa depan AI, dengan margin 55% berbanding 33%, menurut tinjauan baharu yang dikongsi secara eksklusif dengan TIME sebelum penerbitannya pada Selasa ini. Daripada 1,400 orang dewasa yang ditinjau, 48% mengatakan teknologi itu berkembang "terlalu pantas," berbanding 32% yang mengatakan kadar itu "sesuai" dan hanya 4% yang mengatakan ia "terlalu perlahan." Dan 59% responden mengatakan mereka percaya AI akan paling banyak memberi manfaat kepada syarikat dan isi rumah terkaya, berbanding 20% yang mengatakan ia akan paling banyak memberi manfaat kepada pekerja dan kelas menengah. Tinjauan itu dibiayai oleh TechEquity, sebuah organisasi bukan untung progresif. Sokongan untuk peraturan — Data baharu menunjukkan bahawa 70% warga California percaya akan keperluan untuk "undang-undang yang ketat untuk menjadikan AI adil." Tetapi data itu juga mendedahkan tahap keraguan yang tinggi bahawa undang-undang tersebut akan dilaksanakan. 59% daripada mereka yang ditinjau mengatakan mereka tidak mempercayai kerajaan negeri California untuk mengawal AI. Lebih ramai lagi — 64% — mengatakan mereka tidak mempercayai kerajaan persekutuan. Gambaran muncul — Tinjauan itu menambah koleksi data yang semakin meningkat dari seluruh dunia yang menunjukkan bahawa orang biasa bimbang tentang kesan AI terhadap kehidupan mereka. Pada Januari, saya menulis tentang tinjauan UK yang menunjukkan 60% rakyat British menyokong larangan pembangunan model AI "lebih pintar daripada manusia". Dan pada April, Pew Research Center mendapati 43% orang dewasa AS percaya AI lebih cenderung untuk memudaratkan daripada memberi manfaat kepada mereka, berbanding 24% yang menjangkakan manfaat akan melebihi mudarat. Titik sifar — California muncul sebagai medan pertempuran utama untuk usaha perundangan mengenai AI, sebagai negeri tempat kebanyakan syarikat AI terkemuka Amerika berpangkalan. Tahun lalu, rang undang-undang yang bertujuan untuk mengawal selia model "frontier" telah diluluskan oleh badan perundangan negeri, hanya untuk diveto oleh Gabenor Gavin Newsom. Itu tidak menghentikan usaha lain untuk mengawal selia AI di negeri itu. California "adalah tempat di mana anda masih boleh menggubal undang-undang dan memerintah dengan proses perundangan yang separa berfungsi, yang bukan sesuatu yang boleh anda katakan tentang D.C., terutamanya mengenai topik ini," kata Catherine Bracy, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif TechEquity. "Kerajaan persekutuan telah menjelaskan bahawa mereka akan sepenuhnya tidak campur tangan, jika tidak mewujudkan peraturan yang lebih lagi melepaskan industri," kata Bracy. "[Jadi] menjadi tanggungjawab negeri-negeri untuk mengambil alih tugas dan memastikan bahawa orang sebenar yang akan terkesan oleh alat ini dilindungi." Siapa Yang Perlu Diketahui: Dean Ball, bekas penasihat Rumah Putih mengenai AI Untuk tempoh perkhidmatan, ia adalah sesuatu yang luar biasa berkesan. Dean Ball menyertai Pentadbiran Trump pada April — direkrut berdasarkan esei yang ditulisnya bertajuk "Here is what I think we should do" mengenai dasar AI. Apa yang berlaku seterusnya adalah lima bulan yang pantas dalam kerajaan, di mana beliau memainkan peranan penting menyumbang kepada Pelan Tindakan AI, dasar AI Trump, yang diumumkan pada Julai. Awal bulan ini, Ball mengumumkan beliau meninggalkan kerajaan untuk menumpukan pada penyelidikan sendiri. Perancangan Tindakan — Pelan Tindakan Trump mendapat pujian kerana penekanannya pada peningkatan kapasiti grid tenaga AS, serta onshoring pusat data dan pengeluaran cip yang menguasakannya. Dokumen itu juga menggesa syarikat-syarikat AS untuk lebih menumpukan pada pembangunan model AI sumber terbuka, untuk mengelakkan dunia daripada bergantung pada model Cina (yang kini merupakan yang terbaik dalam kelasnya). Dokumen itu merangka cadangan ini, dan banyak lagi, dari segi perlumbaan AI yang semakin meningkat dengan China. Temu bual keluar — Dalam temu bual dengan TIME, Ball menekankan kepentingan AI kepada pentadbiran Trump. "AI adalah keutamaan dasar teknologi nombor satu Presiden, dengan margin yang ketara," katanya. Pada masa yang sama, kata Ball, terdapat banyak keraguan di dalam Pentadbiran terhadap unjuran industri AI bahawa mesin super pintar akan muncul dalam dua hingga lima tahun lagi. "Penyebaran AI akan mengambil masa yang sangat lama," kata Ball. "Saya telah melalui revolusi teknologi sebelum ini, di mana saya muda dan bersemangat dan berfikir semuanya akan berlaku dalam dua atau tiga tahun. Dan ternyata banyak yang berlaku, tetapi ia mengambil masa 15 tahun." AI dalam Tindakan: Patutkah anda memadamkan e-mel lama anda untuk menjimatkan air? Garis panduan rasmi kerajaan UK, yang diterbitkan minggu lalu, telah mendapat banyak kritikan dalam talian kerana mencadangkan pengguna harus "memadamkan e-mel dan gambar lama" untuk menjimatkan air semasa kemarau, kerana pusat data "memerlukan sejumlah besar air untuk menyejukkan sistem mereka." Memang benar banyak pusat data menggunakan air untuk penyejukan, tetapi mari kita lihat dari perspektif yang betul. Andy Masley, seorang penulis blog yang telah menulis beberapa artikel yang mencerahkan tentang perbelanjaan tenaga dan air sistem AI, telah mengira angkanya. Membaiki tandas yang bocor, katanya, boleh menjimatkan 200-400 liter air sehari. "Untuk menjimatkan air di pusat data sebanyak mana yang akan dijimatkan dengan membaiki tandas anda, anda perlu memadamkan 1.5 bilion gambar, atau 200 bilion e-mel. Jika anda mengambil masa 0.1 saat untuk memadam setiap e-mel, dan anda memadamkannya tanpa henti selama 16 jam sehari, anda akan mengambil masa 723 tahun untuk memadam e-mel yang mencukupi untuk menjimatkan jumlah air yang sama di pusat data seperti yang anda boleh jika anda membaiki tandas anda. Mungkin anda patut membaiki tandas anda." Seperti biasa, jika anda mempunyai cerita menarik mengenai AI dalam Tindakan, kami ingin mendengarnya. E-mel kami di: Apa Yang Kami Baca "” oleh Jeff Horwitz di Reuters Sebuah cerita yang tidak henti-henti suram dari Jeff Horwitz, wartawan Meta terbaik dalam bidangnya. “Kisah Bue, yang diceritakan di sini buat pertama kalinya, menggambarkan sisi gelap revolusi kecerdasan buatan yang kini melanda teknologi dan dunia perniagaan yang lebih luas. Keluarganya berkongsi dengan Reuters kejadian sekitar kematiannya, termasuk transkrip perbualannya dengan avatar Meta, dengan harapan untuk memberi amaran kepada orang ramai tentang bahaya mendedahkan individu yang rentan kepada teman yang dimanipulasi oleh AI.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

LV.onl Redefines the New Paradigm: 'Protection = Wealth Management = Risk Transfer' SeaPRwire

LV.onl Redefines the New Paradigm: 'Protection = Wealth Management = Risk Transfer'

Kuala Lumpur, August 2025 — As the global wave of financial digitalization accelerates, traditional insurance is undergoing profound transformation. LIVI NeoAsia (hereinafter "LV.onl") today officially launched an innovative model that deeply integrates "digital asset accounts + statutory insurance coverage," redefining the essence of insurance: It is not merely a consumption expense but a financial instrument for precise risk transfer. More critically, it serves as a central nexus connecting "life protection, asset appreciation, and risk hedging." Debunking Misconceptions: Insurance as "Actuarial Value," Not "Sunk Cost" Conventionally, insurance is often perceived as a consumption behavior—"paying for peace of mind"—where premiums are deemed "wasted" if no claims occur. LV.onl fundamentally challenges this notion: At its core, insurance represents "precise actuarial value for risk transfer." Premiums paid by users essentially lock in certainty against future risks (e.g., illness, accidents, retirement shortfalls). This value itself can be transformed, through compliant design, into "appreciable, inheritable, and flexibly allocatable" assets. For example, every policy purchased includes not only statutory coverage (e.g., medical, accident protection) but also channels premiums into asset pools managed by licensed institutions. These funds generate steady growth through low-risk instruments like money market funds and bonds, truly achieving "active protection with tangible asset growth." The LV.onl Model: Making "Protection = Wealth Management = Risk Transfer" a Reality LV.onl’s core solution lies in its "Insurance-Anchored Asset Protection System," unifying these three pillars: Insurance as the Value Anchor: All products are underwritten by licensed insurers, covering statutory protections (e.g., health, retirement), ensuring legal validity of risk transfer. Policy terms and claims mechanisms are recorded on the blockchain with tamper-proof immutability, providing users full transparency into "risk coverage scope." Stablecoin as the Circulation Vehicle: The compliant stablecoin Cloud Token, pegged to real-world fiat assets, strictly adheres to Hong Kong’s 2025 Stablecoin Act. It operates exclusively in closed-loop scenarios (e.g., premium payments, policy upgrades), eliminating speculative risks while enhancing asset liquidity. Digital Account as the Management Hub: Users automatically receive a LIVI Vault digital account, displaying real-time premium allocation, asset returns, and coverage status. The account enables "goal-based allocation," allowing customized plans (e.g., children’s education, retirement reserves), deeply integrating risk transfer with life planning. Focus on Southeast Asia: Bridging the "Protection Gap" for 600 Million People LV.onl’s model holds particular significance in Southeast Asia—a region with low insurance penetration yet high digital payment adoption. Among its 600 million people, many remain unprotected due to complex traditional insurance processes and poor cost-performance ratios. LV.onl simplifies onboarding and introduces community incentives (e.g., stablecoin rewards for referrals), enabling broader access to dual-value "protection + wealth management" at low cost. As stated by LV.onl’s team: "We are not selling insurance; we are building an infrastructure that empowers everyone to master risk and accumulate wealth." With upcoming approvals for Hong Kong’s stablecoin license and Southeast Asian insurance qualifications, this model is poised to become a new bridge connecting the digital economy and social safeguards.

LV.onl Revolusioner Ekosistem Insurans: Bangunkan Jambatan ‘Perlindungan Risiko & Penghargaan Aset’ dengan Teknologi Pematuhan SeaPRwire

LV.onl Revolusioner Ekosistem Insurans: Bangunkan Jambatan ‘Perlindungan Risiko & Penghargaan Aset’ dengan Teknologi Pematuhan

London, Suku Ketiga 2025 — Dalam gelombang transformasi digital kewangan global, industri insurans sedang mengalami peningkatan paradigma daripada "perlindungan risiko tunggal" kepada "perlindungan aset komprehensif". LIVI NeoAsia Group Ltd (atau "LV.onl") memperkenalkan sistem inovatif "Perlindungan Aset Berjangkar Insurans", mentakrifkan semula logik perlindungan era digital. Insurans bukan sekadar "jaring keselamatan" risiko, malah menjadi "penstabil" penghargaan aset. Berakar pada Pematuhan: Tiga Kerangka Kukuh Membina Asas Kepercayaan Keunggulan kompetitif LV.onl berpunca daripada komitmen mendalam terhadap pematuhan. Sebagai platform berdaftar di UK, operasinya mematuhi ketat keperluan kawal selia pelbagai wilayah: Di Asia Tenggara, bekerjasama dengan syarikat insurans berlesen tempatan di Malaysia dan Indonesia bagi membangunkan produk, memastikan semua polisi mematuhi peraturan insurans tempatan. Pada peringkat aset digital, stablecoin Cloud Token-nya selaras sepenuhnya dengan Akta Stablecoin Hong Kong berkuat kuasa 1 Ogos 2025, dijangkar pada kolam aset insurans sebenar tanpa ICO atau dagangan awam, digunakan semata-mata untuk pembayaran dan penyelesaian dalam ekosistem kontrak insurans tertutup, mengelak risiko spekulasi dari akar umbi. Struktur "Penyelarasan Ibu Pejabat UK + Operasi Tempatan Asia Tenggara + Penjangkaran Pematuhan Hong Kong" ini menjadikannya platform pertama mencapai "Akaun Insurans Web3 Diiktiraf Kawal Selia", menjamin setiap perlindungan pengguna berlandaskan undang-undang dan boleh diaudit. Inovasi Produk: Daripada "Polisi Penggunaan" kepada "Aset Digital Berkembang" Kelemahan insurans tradisional ialah "perbelanjaan sehala" dan "kekaburan maklumat" — pengguna sukar menjejaki aliran dana selepas bayaran, apatah lagi menikmati penghargaan aset. LV.onl mengatasi halangan ini melalui sistem akaun digital LIVI Vault: Selepas membeli insurans, premium pengguna diagihkan secara automatik mengikut kontrak ke kolam aset diurus pasukan profesional, dilabur dalam instrumen patuh seperti dana pasaran wang dan bon, dengan pulangan dikreditkan berkala ke akaun. Akaun memaparkan status perlindungan, hak dividen dan pegangan Cloud Token secara masa nyata, menjadikan "perlindungan" dan "penghargaan" boleh dilihat dan dikawal. Contohnya, polisi dengan perlindungan kesihatan bukan sahaja membiayai perubatan ketika sakit, tetapi pulangan pelaburan premiumnya boleh digunakan untuk pembaharuan premium masa depan atau perbelanjaan kecemasan keluarga, mencapai "satu pelaburan, pelbagai nilai". Susunan Ekosistem: Membawa "Perlindungan Bersuhu" kepada 600 Juta Rakyat Asia Tenggara Asia Tenggara mempunyai 600 juta penduduk, tetapi menghadapi masalah kadar penembusan insurans rendah dan produk tidak pelbagai. LV.onl memperkenalkan produk ringkas dan modular: Pengguna boleh memilih pakej seperti "Simpanan Pendidikan + Perubatan Kanak-kanak" atau "Perancangan Persaraan + Perlindungan Penyakit Kritikal" mengikut fasa hidup, melengkapkan proses insurans/tuntutan melalui telefon. Platform menggalak pengguna menyertai pembangunan ekosistem — menjemput rakan memperoleh ganjaran Cloud Token untuk meningkatkan had perlindungan atau buka perkhidmatan eksklusif, mengubah insurans daripada "pembelian pasif" kepada "penyertaan aktif". Pasukan LV.onl menyatakan: "Matlamat kami bukan menggantikan insurans tradisional, tetapi mendekatkan insurans kepada keperluan rakyat biasa melalui teknologi — apabila perlindungan berkembang bersama hidup, apabila aset menjadi penyangga risiko, barulah insurans menjadi 'pemberat kekayaan' sebenar keluarga." Difahamkan, platform telah melengkapkan pengesahan pengguna sulung di Malaysia, merancang kembangkan ke Indonesia, Filipina dll pada 2026, serta memulakan permohonan lesen stablecoin dan perantaraan insurans di Hong Kong, terus menyempurnakan ekosistem "Insurans + Aset + Teknologi".

A stock market revival, declining Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rates (“Hibor”) in the second quarter, stabilised residential sales and a steady tourism rebound helped counterbalance external pressures. However, persistent outbound travel by residents continued to divert spending elsewhere, weighing on local retail sales. Meanwhile, the office leasing market remained subdued, reflecting an ongoing imbalance between supply and demand. Against this backdrop, distributable income of the Trust decreased by 12.6% to HK$476 million and distribution per unit (“DPU”) declined by 13.3% to HK$0.0701.Ms. Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer of Champion REIT (Left), Ms. Amy Luk, Investment and Investor Relations Director of Champion REIT (Right)Three Garden RoadAlthough overall office leasing momentum in Central remained suppressed, we received increased leasing inquiries amid rising financial market activities, with demand primarily from finance-related firms. Several new small-sized tenants, including family offices, committed to establishing operations in the property, while an existing banking sector tenant expanded its presence here. Occupancy of Three Garden Road office was 80.7% as at 30 June 2025. Rental income of the property fell 5.4% to HK$540 million (2024: HK$571 million). We advanced lease renewal efforts, successfully concluding all 2025 expirations with a high retention rate, including several anchor tenant renewals. For 2026, over 70% of the expiring leases have already been renewed.Langham Place Office TowerDuring the reporting period, Langham Place Office Tower launched “6D Wellness” YouTube channel to strengthen the property’s positioning as a one-stop wellness and lifestyle hub. As at 30 June 2025, lifestyle (wellness) tenants comprised 68% of the property’s tenant mix. Occupancy of Langham Place Office Tower remained stable at 86.9% as at 30 June 2025. The expanded co-working space introduced a Social Wellness Hall for wellness workshops and events, resonating with the property’s wellness positioning. Market rental continued to face challenges with rental income dropped by 9.1% to HK$151 million (2024: HK$166 million).Ms. Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer of Champion REITLangham Place MallAs Langham Place Mall celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025, it continues to embrace its bold “Stay Local, Trend Global” vision. Through immersive experiences and exclusive merchandise, we successfully attracted record crowds and drove sales, establishing new single-day footfall record in August. Recently, fashion brand BENLAI, marking its inaugural Hong Kong flagship presence in the mall, and Umbro’s first in town lifestyle themed pop-up store, have commenced operations. Further elevating the mall’s offerings, Chiikawa Ramen Buta has chosen this location for its premier overseas outlet, shortly becoming a hotspot since opening. Occupancy of Langham Place Mall remained high at 99.2% as at 30 June 2025, reaching full committed occupancy currently. Since changing consumer behaviour has posed challenges for tenants, rental income of the mall declined to HK$338 million (2024: HK$378 million).DistributionDistributable income of the Trust decreased by 12.6% to HK$476 million (2024: HK$544 million) and DPU declined by 13.3% to HK$0.0701 (2024: HK$0.0809). Based on the closing unit price of HK$2.08 recorded as at 30 June 2025, the total DPU represented an annualised distribution yield of 6.7%.Asset ValueThe appraised value of the Trust’s property portfolio was HK$58.1 billion as at 30 June 2025, declining by 3.3% from HK$60.1 billion as at 31 December 2024.SustainabilityWe continue to create shared values across our ecosystem through initiatives that drive climate resilience, build meaningful connections, and support community wellness. During the reporting period, we implemented an AI-powered chiller optimisation system at Three Garden Road, achieving 6.1% annual energy savings. Through our EcoChampion Pledge programme, we bring both office and retail tenants together in the shared commitment to fulfilling measurable environmental goals. Furthermore, Our Champion REIT ESG Gala, themed "Innovation - Inspiration · Integration", brought together over 1,000 tenants and business partners to advance sustainable operations and inclusive practices.OutlookAlthough Hong Kong retail sector has returned to growth and the financial market has rebounded, the overall operating environment of the Trust is expected to remain challenging in the rest of 2025. While lower HKD interest rates should reduce interest expenses, negative rental reversion will likely continue to suppress rental income and reduce distributions compared to last year. We remain committed to maintaining operational agility to navigate this competitive market landscape.About Champion REIT (stock code: 2778)Champion Real Estate Investment Trust is a trust formed to own and invest in income- producing office and retail properties. The Trust focuses on Grade A commercial properties in prime locations. It currently offers investors direct exposure to nearly 3 million sq. ft. of prime office and retail floor area.

CMS (867.HK, 8A8.SG) Reports Growth in Revenue and Profit for H1 2025, Strategic Transformation Unlocks New Drivers ACN Newswire

CMS (867.HK, 8A8.SG) Reports Growth in Revenue and Profit for H1 2025, Strategic Transformation Unlocks New Drivers

SHENZHEN, CHINA, Aug 19, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On 18 August, China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Company”) announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the “Reporting Period”), with both revenue and profit recording year-on-year growth, demonstrating the initial results of its strategic transformation. During the Reporting Period, the Company recorded revenue of approximately RMB4.00 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 10.8%. In the case that all medicines were directly sold by the Company, revenue would be approximately RMB4.67 billion, up 8.9% year-on-year. Net profit was approximately RMB0.93 billion, representing an increase of 3.1% year-on-year.The results reflect that CMS has emerged from the shadow of National Volume-based Procurement (“National VBP”), and its performance is expected to return to a sustainable growth trajectory. Revenue from the Company’s key non-National VBP exclusive/branded products and innovative products (in the case that all medicines were directly sold by the Company) reached approximately RMB2.90 billion, up 20.6% year-on-year, accounting for 62.1% of total revenue. The company's exclusive/branded products and innovative products have a favorable competitive landscape and high visibility of future growth, and have now become the main drivers of performance growth.According to the interim results announcement, the company has been planning its “New CMS” blueprint since 2018, anchored on the three strategic pillars of “product innovation, commercial model reform, and international expansion” to build a sustainable second growth curve. By the first half of 2025, solid operating results and the steady delivery of innovation outcomes have confirmed that the Company’s strategic upgrade has been gradually translated into tangible achievements.“New Products” Strategy Drives Innovation Value Realization and Solidifies Growth MomentumAt the forefront of the Company’s three strategic pillars, the “product innovation” strategy leverages a three-dimensional innovation mechanism of “overseas licensing, domestic collaboration, and in-house R&D” to continuously inject high-value short-, medium- and long-term pipelines, serving as a key growth engine. Currently, the innovation strategy has entered a period of continuous harvest, with new products continuously releasing commercial and clinical value.To date, the Company has successfully commercialized five innovative drugs in China; By 2025, two innovative products — ruxolitinib cream and Desidustat Tablets—are also expected to receive marketing approvals. Ruxolitinib cream is the first and only topical JAK inhibitor approved by the U.S. FDA and the European Medicines Agency for repigmentation in non-segmental vitiligo, and is expected to become the first approved treatment for vitiligo in China, filling a market gap and bringing new hope to Chinese vitiligo patients. Additionally, the New Drug Application (NDA) for the Alzheimer’s disease drug ZUNVEYL in China was accepted in July this year; the consumer healthcare product Poly-L-lactic Acid Microparticle Filler Injection has been approved for marketing, further enriching the Company’s diversified product portfolio.Among the innovative pipeline under R&D, several blockbuster candidates have entered the late-stage clinical development in China and are expected to be commercialized within the next one to three years, forming a new driving force for sustained growth.Among these, the collaborative product Y-3 for Injection has completed Phase III clinical trials in China. This product is an original unimolecular Class 1 innovative drug and the only non-peptide PSD95/nNOS uncoupler that has entered clinical development, with potential to become the first dual-function brain cytoprotectant for treating ischemic stroke while preventing post-stroke depression and anxiety. Another oral small molecule Class 1 innovative drug, ABP-671 (a URAT1 inhibitor) for the treatment of gout and hyperuricemia, is progressing through Phase IIb/III clinical trials in China. Compared with existing mainstream drugs, ABP-671 has the potential to reduce uric acid to lower levels at lower doses and possesses gout-tophus dissolution capability, thereby offering patients a more effective and safer treatment option.CMS continues to expand its innovative pipeline and enhance its end-to-end innovation capabilities to ensure the steady, phased marketing approval of innovative products. In H1 2025, two new collaborative R&D innovative products — ZUNVEYL and MG-K10 (a long-acting anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody injection) — were added to the portfolio. To date, the Company has deployed about 40 differentiated innovative pipeline products, including approximately 20 in-house R&D projects.Advancing “New Models” and “New Markets” Strategies to Unlock Multi-dimensional GrowthAccording to the interim results announcement, CMS continues to advance its “New Models — Commercial Model Reform” strategy, forging anti-cyclical resilience through a diversified ecosystem. It also firmly implements its “New Markets - International Expansion” strategy, building a multi-dimensional growth framework via an industrial internationalization model.Under the commercial model reform strategy, the Company continues to focus on specialty therapeutic fields while expanding into new retail and new media channels, building a comprehensive marketing and promotion system that covers both “in-hospital + out-of-hospital” and “online + offline” channels, and reinforcing its diversified product portfolio with consumer attributes. Its skin health business, Dermavon, has demonstrated strong potential in this particular segment with consumer attributes. Since its independent operation in 2021, Dermavon has achieved dual leadership in both the “coverage of dermatology indications” and the “revenue scale of dermatological prescription drugs”, and is proposed to be spun off and separately listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange by way of introduction and distribution in specie, to further unlock its standalone value and high-growth potential.In terms of internationalization, CMS successfully completed its secondary listing on the Main Board of the Singapore Exchange by way of introduction on 15 July 2025, marking a new milestone in its “industrial internationalization” strategy. With Singapore as a hub, the Company has established a comprehensive business system covering the entire value chain of “R&D–Manufacturing–Commercialization” for emerging markets. To date, its commercial platform company, Rxilient, has cumulatively submitted nearly 20 registration applications for pharmaceutical products and medical devices across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan Region, covering therapeutic fields such as dermatology, ophthalmology, oncology, autoimmune, and central nervous system. Ruxolitinib cream (vitiligo indication) has been approved for marketing in Macau and Hong Kong, and its registration applications have been submitted in Singapore and Taiwan Region. Intravenous Toripalimab (the first China-originated anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody drug that has been approved by the China NMPA and the U.S. FDA) has been submitted for registration in five countries, including Malaysia. Tildrakizumab Injection and Sucroferric Oxyhydroxide Chewable Tablets have also been approved for marketing in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, PharmaGend, an associate CDMO manufacturing facility in which CMS holds a 45.0% equity interest, now has an annual production capacity of 1 billion units of oral solid dosage forms (tablets and capsules), and has obtained a drug manufacturing license from Singapore’s HSA, U.S. FDA cGMP certification, and passed Swiss QP audits.

NEC and ClimateAi Develop Conceptual Model to Promote Climate Change Adaptation in Agriculture JCN Newswire

NEC and ClimateAi Develop Conceptual Model to Promote Climate Change Adaptation in Agriculture

Tokyo, Japan, August 19, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701), in collaboration with ClimateAi, a San Francisco-based startup that built the first climate resilience platform, has developed a conceptual model to estimate the effectiveness of climate change adaptation measures for cocoa and rice cultivation in Africa. In this project, ClimateAi’s long-term climate change forecasting technology, which models both the impact of climatic factors on agricultural production and the effectiveness of adaptation measures, was combined with NEC’s expertise in agricultural technology (agritech) to successfully quantify the impact of climate change on agriculture and clarify the return on investment for adaptation measures.This achievement will be showcased at the TICAD Business Expo & Conference (Japan Fair), one of the thematic events of the Ninth Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD 9) to be held in Yokohama, Japan, in August 2025, conveying the significance of utilizing digital technology to address the challenges facing African agriculture (*1).Background and purposeGlobally, while greenhouse gas emission reductions and credit trading are actively being conducted to mitigate the effects of climate change, the implementation of adaptation measures to prevent or reduce damage caused by climate change has not yet progressed. This is due in part to the difficulties involved in assessing the investment cost-effectiveness of implementing adaptation measures.Notably, although the agricultural sector is an industry highly susceptible to climate change, estimating the return on investment for adaptation measures, such as the introduction of irrigation facilities or changes in crop varieties, has thus far proven difficult due to the wide range of factors affecting crop growth, including temperature, water, and soil.NEC and ClimateAi have developed a conceptual model that analyzes various factors affecting agricultural growth using AI and calculates the economic return on investment for adaptation measures. Utilizing this model enables the implementation of adaptation measures that focus on areas where positive effects are expected, promoting local agriculture efficiently and sustainably.OverviewThis newly developed conceptual model was used to analyze adaptation measures targeting the cultivation of cocoa and rice in various locations in Africa. Africa is the world’s largest cocoa producer, with agriculture being one of its major industries. However, due to the impacts of climate change, the cultivation environment for cocoa and rice is expected to change significantly in the coming decades. This initiative focused on the following three adaptation measures to examine their ability to maintain and enhance yields and create economic value in a changing climate.Introduction of irrigation facilitiesChanging to climate-adapted varietiesChanging of planting time for traditionally cultivated varietiesSome of the analysis results can be verified through interactive demonstrations. As an example of potential applications for this conceptual model, it is envisioned that international organizations and development banks providing local agricultural support will utilize it to explore farmland in recipient areas and estimate the effects of implementing adaptation measures.Beyond this example, the system is designed to cater to the needs of various stakeholders involved in agriculture, enabling them to make data-driven decisions.Results and future prospectsThe utilization of AI made it possible to analyze the cost-effectiveness of adaptation measures, such as the introduction of irrigation facilities and changes in cultivation varieties in rice farming across various regions, as well as effective adaptation strategies for cacao cultivation.Significant funding is required to advance climate change adaptation in agriculture. It has been pointed out that in addition to the need for financial support from international organizations, development banks, and governments, the mobilization of private investment is necessary. To provide continuous funding, it is essential to quantify the investment returns from adaptation measures and to conduct proper monitoring and intervention following their implementation.While exploring opportunities for collaborations with businesses that provide irrigation equipment and seedlings, NEC and ClimateAi aim to leverage digital technology use cases to promote financing for climate change adaptation and expand data-driven agritech businesses.Adaptation finance businessSupport for understanding risks to agricultural yields to reduce entry barriers for the private sector / Support for evaluating business feasibility for financingAgritech businessSupport for agricultural producers and managers of climate change adaptation / Support for climate change adaptation in the upstream (seed and agricultural material businesses) and downstream (processing businesses, etc.) of the agricultural supply chainOther businessSupport for climate change adaptation in the infrastructure industry and manufacturing supply chainsThe results of this initiative will be announced at the TICAD Business Expo & Conference (Japan Fair) and other events to gather feedback from the market and proceed with discussions toward commercialization. Going forward, NEC and ClimateAi will work together to scientifically assess the impact of climate change on agriculture and present concrete solutions to achieve sustainable agriculture and food security. Both companies will continue striving to solve global agricultural challenges through technological innovation and data utilization.NEC’s new business development, under the key message "The future is ours to shape," is advancing NEC Open Innovation (*2) through diverse co-creation with a wide range of startups and partner companies. NEC’s collaboration with ClimateAi is one such initiative. By uniting innovative technologies with cross-domain collaboration, NEC continues to create new social value and shape the future.(*1)NEC to participate in "TICAD Business Expo and Conference" and thematic events for TICAD 9 https://www.nec.com/en/press/202508/global_20250805_03.html(*2)NEC Open Innovation https://www.nec.com/en/global/innovation/index.htmlAbout ClimateAi, Inc.ClimateAi is a climate adaptation and resilience platform purpose-built for the agriculture, food, and consumer goods sectors.

Menjadi Seorang Petugas Kemanusiaan Tidak Pernah Sesukar Ini berita

Menjadi Seorang Petugas Kemanusiaan Tidak Pernah Sesukar Ini

(SeaPRwire) - Pada Jun tahun ini, konvoi 15 trak sukarelawan kemanusiaan telah bergerak lebih daripada seribu batu merentasi Sudan, membawa bekalan penting yang menyelamatkan nyawa untuk kanak-kanak dan keluarga yang terdedah kepada kebuluran. Perjalanan sedemikian sentiasa melibatkan tahap ketidakpastian dan risiko, serta memerlukan rundingan rumit untuk mendapatkan akses kepada orang awam yang terperangkap di tengah-tengah konflik yang kejam. Perjalanan ke El Fasher hampir selesai, tetapi konvoi itu tidak pernah sampai ke destinasinya. Ia diserang, dan lima orang terbunuh. Mereka bukan askar. Mereka bukan sebahagian daripada konflik. Mereka adalah sebahagian daripada talian hayat kemanusiaan. Bekerja bagi pihak UNICEF dan organisasi yang saya pimpin, World Food Programme (WFP), mereka adalah sukarelawan kemanusiaan—dan mereka diserang kerana jenayah menyelamatkan nyawa. Ia adalah perbuatan yang mengerikan dan tidak boleh diterima. Sukarelawan kemanusiaan bukan sasaran. Noktah. Namun lima rakan sekerja kami yang berani membayar kemanusiaan mereka dengan nyawa mereka. 19 Ogos adalah Hari Kemanusiaan Sedunia. Ia disambut setiap tahun pada ulang tahun pengeboman ibu pejabat Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu di Baghdad pada tahun 2003, yang membunuh 22 pekerja bantuan. Ia adalah hari untuk menghormati pekerja bantuan dan pengorbanan yang mereka lakukan untuk orang yang mereka layani. Seorang sukarelawan kemanusiaan adalah seseorang yang menyediakan makanan, atau ubat-ubatan, atau tempat perlindungan, sambil menjunjung prinsip-prinsip kemanusiaan teras kemanusiaan, tidak berat sebelah, berkecuali, dan kebebasan. Ia adalah seseorang yang tidak memihak dalam konflik. Ia adalah seseorang yang melindungi golongan yang tidak berdaya, dan yang bersedia mengutamakan orang lain daripada diri sendiri demi membantu mereka yang paling memerlukan. Lima rakan sekerja kami yang terkorban di Sudan adalah sukarelawan kemanusiaan sejati. Dan tidak pernah sesukar ini untuk menjadi seorang daripada mereka berbanding sekarang. Adalah lebih sukar—dan kadangkala mustahil—untuk mengakses orang yang memerlukan bantuan kemanusiaan. Adalah lebih sukar untuk merancang dan meramalkan keperluan masa depan serta di mana krisis baharu akan muncul. Dan seperti yang digambarkan oleh peristiwa tragis di Sudan, adalah lebih berbahaya daripada sebelumnya bagi pekerja bantuan untuk memenuhi misi menyelamatkan nyawa mereka. WFP, bersama dengan setiap agensi kemanusiaan lain, sedang mengharungi landskap geopolitik yang baharu dan lebih mencabar. Keperluan global berada pada tahap yang membimbangkan, didorong sebahagian besarnya oleh akibat konflik dan ketidakstabilan, namun sumber yang diperlukan untuk memenuhinya semakin berkurangan kerana beberapa kerajaan memotong pembiayaan mereka untuk kerja kemanusiaan antarabangsa. Akibatnya, WFP menghadapi kekurangan bajet yang serius yang telah memaksa pemotongan drastik kepada bantuan makanan kritikal. Jutaan orang telah kehilangan, atau akan segera kehilangan, talian hayat yang kami sediakan. Pada masa yang sama, keadaan di lapangan semakin berisiko dan lebih kompleks, kerana penghormatan terhadap undang-undang kemanusiaan antarabangsa dan keselamatan pekerja bantuan semakin terhakis. Tidak dapat dielakkan statistik ini: tahun lepas adalah tahun paling maut bagi sukarelawan kemanusiaan yang direkodkan dengan 383 terbunuh. Tahun ini berada di landasan yang sama mautnya. Ramai daripada mereka adalah dari keluarga PBB kami sendiri. Semua membayar harga tertinggi. Ketika ini, pasukan kami di Gaza sedang melakukan kerja-kerja heroik dalam keadaan yang mustahil. Mereka bimbang akan nyawa mereka sendiri sementara mereka dan keluarga mereka dilanda kelaparan yang sama seperti penduduk awam yang lain. Di Yemen, anggota pasukan WFP telah ditahan sewenang-wenangnya. Tragisnya, salah seorang daripada mereka meninggal dunia dalam tahanan awal tahun ini. Di Ukraine, tapak dan kenderaan kemanusiaan telah diserang 41 kali dalam setahun yang lalu sahaja. Di Haiti, tahap keganasan geng yang memecah rekod menghalang keupayaan kami untuk sampai kepada orang yang sangat memerlukan bantuan. Namun ketika orang lain yang mampu melarikan diri dari bahaya, sukarelawan kemanusiaan yang berdedikasi bertekad untuk kekal dan menyampaikan bantuan—walaupun ia bermakna mempertaruhkan nyawa mereka sendiri untuk menyelamatkan orang lain. Keberanian dan komitmen pasukan kami ketika mereka bekerja tanpa henti untuk mencapai golongan yang paling terdedah di planet ini adalah sesuatu yang menginsafkan untuk disaksikan. Saya menganggap diri saya bertuah dapat bekerja dengan mereka, dan saya meratapi semua yang telah kami kehilangan. Tetapi mempertaruhkan nyawa atau kematian tidak seharusnya menjadi sebahagian daripada deskripsi kerja mana-mana sukarelawan kemanusiaan. WFP akan terus hadir untuk golongan yang paling terdedah di dunia. Tetapi kami tidak boleh melakukannya sendirian. Kami memerlukan pihak-pihak yang bertelagah untuk menegakkan kewajipan mereka di bawah undang-undang kemanusiaan antarabangsa, dan untuk dipertanggungjawabkan apabila mereka enggan berbuat demikian. Kami memerlukan kerajaan untuk meningkatkan usaha, bukan hanya dengan pembiayaan, tetapi juga dengan kehendak politik dan penyelesaian diplomatik untuk menamatkan konflik yang memburukkan begitu banyak kelaparan dan malnutrisi yang kita lihat di dunia hari ini. Serangan ke atas pekerja kemanusiaan mesti dihentikan. Serangan ke atas orang awam dan infrastruktur asas yang menyokong mereka mesti dihentikan. Ia tidak dapat dipertahankan. Setiap kali pemimpin global gagal menegakkan dan menguatkuasakan undang-undang kemanusiaan, gagal merundingkan gencatan senjata, gagal menegaskan laluan selamat untuk bantuan menyelamatkan nyawa, mereka meminta pasukan saya untuk mengambil lebih banyak risiko bagi merapatkan jurang yang semakin melebar dalam sistem multilateral. Cukuplah. Kami tidak boleh—kami tidak patut—meneruskan keadaan seperti ini. Pembunuhan setiap pekerja bantuan adalah kemarahan. Begitu juga kematian setiap kanak-kanak yang diragut oleh kelaparan. Kedua-duanya boleh dicegah. Tiada satu pun yang patut berlaku. Pada Hari Kemanusiaan Sedunia, marilah kita bertekad untuk membalikkan hakisan mematikan prinsip-prinsip kemanusiaan ini, dan sebaliknya melakukan apa yang perlu untuk memastikan pekerja bantuan dapat beroperasi dalam keselamatan dan perlindungan—untuk melindungi nyawa golongan yang terdedah yang kami layani.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Trump Janji Tiada Askar A.S. Dikerah ke Ukraine berita

Trump Janji Tiada Askar A.S. Dikerah ke Ukraine

(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Donald Trump telah menyatakan bahawa tiada tentera A.S. akan dikerahkan di Ukraine sebagai sebahagian daripada perjanjian antara Rusia dan Ukraine. Apabila ditanya dalam temu bual dengan Fox News pada hari Selasa jaminan apa yang boleh diberikannya bahawa tidak akan ada "askar Amerika di lapangan" untuk mempertahankan sempadan Ukraine dengan Rusia, walaupun selepas jawatan presidennya, Trump menjawab: "Anda mempunyai jaminan saya, dan saya adalah presiden." Sehari sebelumnya, semasa bertemu dengan Presiden Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky dan para pemimpin Eropah, Trump mencadangkan A.S. akan membantu menjamin keselamatan Ukraine sekiranya perjanjian damai dicapai antara Kyiv dan Moscow. "Kami akan memberi mereka perlindungan yang sangat baik, keselamatan yang sangat baik," katanya. Komennya pada hari Selasa mendedahkan had kepada jaminan sedemikian—tiada tentera A.S. di Ukraine. "Saya hanya cuba menghalang orang daripada terbunuh… mereka kehilangan 5-7,000 orang seminggu dalam perang yang tidak masuk akal itu," , tanpa menyatakan sama ada angka-angka ini merujuk kepada Ukraine, Rusia, atau kedua-duanya. Presiden menambah bahawa beliau telah menelefon Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin pada lewat Isnin selepas bertemu dengan beberapa pemimpin Eropah untuk membincangkan kemungkinan pertemuan antara Presiden Rusia dan Zelensky, menyatakan bahawa sekiranya pertemuan itu berjalan lancar, beliau akan campur tangan untuk "menyelesaikannya." "Ia memerlukan dua untuk menari tango, mereka perlu mempunyai sedikit hubungan, jika tidak kita hanya membuang masa,". Kremlin selepas panggilan Trump dengan Putin, mengatakan: "pihak-pihak membincangkan idea untuk mempertimbangkan kemungkinan meningkatkan tahap delegasi kedua-dua negara yang terlibat dalam rundingan langsung." Tindak balas Moscow telah dilihat sebagai untuk meneruskan pencerobohannya ke atas Ukraine, kerana Putin seolah-olah mengabaikan cadangan Trump untuk mengesahkan pertemuan langsung antara Putin dan Zelensky.
