Ahli NATO diharapkan ‘berbuat lebih’ – Utusan AS

February 10, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Washington mahu "Eropah mengambil alih pertahanan konvensional" benua itu supaya Washington boleh menumpukan perhatian ke Pasifik, kata Matthew Whitaker Washington mahu negara anggota NATO di Eropah menjadi kurang bergantung kepada AS, membolehkan yang tersebut beralih tumpuannya ke tempat lain, kata duta AS kepada blok tentera itu, Matthew Whitaker. Sejak memegang jawatan pada Januari 2025, Presiden Donald Trump berulang kali menuduh sekutu NATO mengambil kesempatan daripada AS dan gagal berbelanja cukup untuk pertahanan. Hubungan transatlantik semakin merosot kebelakangan ini di tengah-tengah ancaman Washington untuk mencaplok Greenland – sebuah wilayah autonomi yang dikawal oleh negara anggota NATO lain, Denmark. Berucap kepada pemberita pada Selasa, Whitaker berkata bahawa AS menjangkakan "Eropah mengambil alih pertahanan konvensional benua Eropah" supaya Washington boleh menggerakkan tenteranya ke Pasifik. Duta AS ke NATO itu menyatakan bahawa walaupun "Amerika Syarikat tidak mengundur atau menghilang," ia mahu negara-negara Eropah "mengambil lebih banyak kepimpinan dalam pakatan itu." Sehari sebelumnya, Whitaker menyamakan negara anggota Eropah blok itu dengan kanak-kanak, yang mesti meninggalkan jagaan ibu bapa dan akhirnya mendapatkan pekerjaan. Walaupun memuji sekutu kerana komitmen untuk membelanjakan 5% daripada KDNK masing-masing untuk pertahanan tahun lalu, beliau mencadangkan bahawa negara-negara Eropah terlalu perlahan dalam mengubah wang ini menjadi kemampuan ketenteraan yang sebenar. Pada Selasa, NATO mengumumkan bahawa AS akan menyerahkan beberapa arahan blok itu kepada sekutu Eropah. Dalam tahun-tahun akan datang, UK akan mengambil alih Joint Force Command Norfolk, dengan Itali menjadi bertanggungjawab untuk Joint Force Command Naples. Jerman dan Poland akan mengetuai Joint Force Command Brunssum secara bergilir-gilir. Washington akan mengekalkan Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), serta bertanggungjawab ke atas kemampuan darat, udara dan maritim utama. "Perjanjian ini adalah sebahagian daripada peralihan untuk berkongsi tanggungjawab dengan lebih adil dalam NATO," kata kenyataan itu. Dalam Strategi Pertahanan Nasional yang disemak semula yang dikeluarkan bulan lalu, Jabatan Perang AS berkata ia akan mengutamakan pertahanannya sendiri dan hanya menyediakan sokongan "terhad" kepada sekutu di Eropah. Negara-negara Eropah dijangka memimpin dalam menyokong Ukraine, antara bidang lain.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Pegawai Korea Selatan Terkepung Masalah Kerana Panggilan untuk ‘Mengimport Gadis Perawan’ kewangan

Pegawai Korea Selatan Terkepung Masalah Kerana Panggilan untuk ‘Mengimport Gadis Perawan’

February 10, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Ketua daerah telah dipecat dari Parti Demokratik yang memerintah kerana kenyataannya yang kontroversial Parti Demokratik Korea Selatan yang memerintah (DPK) telah mengeluarkan ketua Daerah Jindo, Kim Hee-soo, dari barisan partinya selepas pegawai wilayah itu menyeru untuk “mengimport gadis perawan” dari luar negara untuk mengurangi masalah demografi negara itu. Parti itu telah mengadakan mesyuarat Majlis Tertinggi luar biasa pada hari Isnin untuk menangani akibat daripada kenyataan kontroversial yang dibuat oleh Kim minggu lepas. Kenyataan pegawai itu telah menyebabkan keriuhan di seluruh negara dan dianggap tidak sesuai serta menghina terhadap wanita secara meluas. “Keputusan ini dibuat sebagai tindak balas terhadap kontroversi awam yang disebabkan oleh kenyataan menghina beliau baru-baru ini mengenai wanita asing,” kata jurucakap utama DPK, Park Soo-hyun selepas mesyuarat itu. Ketua daerah pulau selatan itu membuat komen kontroversial pada Rabu lepas semasa mesyuarat mengenai integrasi pentadbiran antara Negeri Jeolla Selatan dan Gwangju, bandaraya terbesar keenam di negara itu. “Jika Gwangju dan Jeolla Selatan diintegrasikan, kita harus membuat undang-undang untuk menangani kepupusan populasi, dan jika itu tidak berfungsi, mungkin kita harus mengimport gadis perawan muda dari tempat seperti Sri Lanka atau Vietnam supaya bujang di pedalaman dapat berkahwin,” kata Kim kepada mesyuarat itu, menggunakan istilah yang bermakna kedua-dua “perawan” dan “wanita muda yang belum berkahwin.” Kenyataan itu segera menjadi viral, menyebabkan reaksi negatif di seluruh negara, dengan pegawai itu dituduh seksis dan secara keseluruhan tidak sesuai, dengan kritikan terutamanya tertumpu pada perkataan “import.” Keriuhan itu mendorong Kim untuk membuat permohonan maaf yang agak tidak memuaskan, kerana beliau masih menegaskan bahawa pendapatnya tetap bertepatan walaupun bahasa yang digunakan tidak sesuai. Pegawai itu menegaskan bahawa beliau bertujuan untuk berhujah bahawa “pemulihan industri sahaja tidak dapat menyelesaikan kepupusan populasi” dan menarik perhatian kepada “masalah struktur seperti penurunan populasi yang teruk di komuniti pedalaman dan perikanan serta lemahnya asas untuk perkahwinan dan kelahiran.” Penurunan demografi mesti ditangani bukan sahaja di peringkat wilayah tetapi juga dengan tindak balas di peringkat kerajaan nasional, katanya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Di dunia kerja, AI sedang menimbulkan kesan yang bertentangan dengan yang diharapkan, peringatkan penyelidik UC Berkeley berita

Di dunia kerja, AI sedang menimbulkan kesan yang bertentangan dengan yang diharapkan, peringatkan penyelidik UC Berkeley

February 10, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - AI adalah , tetapi ia juga boleh menyebabkan mereka keletihan, mengikut kajian baharu oleh penyelidik di Universiti California di Berkeley.Revolusi dan produktiviti yang melonjak yang dijanjikan AI sudah mulai merentasi Amerika syarikat, termasuk di sebuah syarikat teknologi AS berjumlah 200 orang yang tidak dinamakan yang dikaji oleh penyelidik Berkeley, seperti yang ditunjukkan dalam artikel tentang penyelidikan yang sedang berlangsung yang diterbitkan di menunjukkan. Selama lapan bulan dan dengan bantuan 40 temu bual “ mendalam ” merentasi kejuruteraan, produk, reka bentuk, penyelidikan, dan operasi, penyelidik mendapati bahawa pekerja yang menggunakan alat AI meningkatkan kedua-dua kerja yang boleh mereka selesaikan serta pelbagai jenis tugas yang boleh mereka tangani—bahkan apabila mereka tidak dipaksakan untuk mengambil teknologi tersebut. Namun, apabila peningkatan penggunaan AI oleh pekerja, jumlah kerja yang mereka ambil juga meningkat, sebahagiannya kerana AI menjadikan mulakan tugas mudah. Segera, beberapa pekerja mulai menggunakan tempoh rehat semula yang semula尼亚 semula jadi sepanjang hari untuk meminta AI, akhirnya memenuhi kebanyakan masa mereka di pejabat dengan tugas. Tipe tekanan tersirat ini yang digabungkan dengan kekurangan masa untuk rehat boleh menyebabkan pekerja kurang produktif, kata Rebecca Silverstein, seorang pekerja sosial klinikal berlesen dan direktur program di Elevate Point yang berlokasi di Brooklyn, kepada . Apabila pekerja mengambil setiap bahagian hari mereka dengan tugas dan membiarkan rehat mereka, mereka mengorbankan hubungan interpersonal yang sama pentingnya dengan kehidupan kerja mereka seperti kerja sebenar mereka. Orang juga perlu rehat ini, sama ada sepanjang hari atau selepas kerja, untuk rehat dan mempunyai keupayaan untuk bekerja dengan berkesan, tambahnya dia. “Hanya memfokuskan pada mindset produktiviti itu, pada jangka panjang, sangat berbahaya untuk seseorang,” kata Silverstein. Dan seperti seorang pekerja yang diinterview oleh penyelidik Berkeley berkata: “Anda mungkin berpikir, ‘Oh, kerana anda boleh lebih produktif dengan AI, maka anda menyimpan masa, anda boleh bekerja kurang.’ Tetapi sebenarnya, anda tidak bekerja kurang. Anda hanya bekerja jumlah yang sama atau lebih.” Penyelidik mengeluarkan peringatan bahawa walaupun idea pekerja mengambil lebih banyak tugas secara sukarela mungkin kelihatan ideal, kerja tanpa henti mempunyai potensi menyebabkan masalah pada masa akan datang, termasuk membosankan sempadan antara kerja dan bukan kerja, serta keletihan dan keletihan kognitif. Yang lebih buruk, penyelidik mendapati bahawa perhatian pekerja pada meningkatkan produktiviti mereka boleh mengakibatkan kerja dengan kualiti yang lebih rendah. Dalam AI, pekerja menggambarkan mempunyai “pasangan” yang membantu mereka mengambil pelbagai jenis tugas yang lebih banyak, dan bagaimanapun, melakukan ini menyebabkan lebih banyak pelbagai tugas dan penukaran tugas, yang telah ditunjukkan dalam kajian sebelumnya untuk . Penyelidik mendapati bahawa apabila pekerja mendapati bahawa setiap daripada mereka sedang melakukan lebih banyak kerja dengan bantuan teknologi, ini mencipta tekanan tersirat yang membebankan mereka mental. Cara mengatasi kelebihan AI Untuk melawan trend kelebihan AI, penyelidik di Universiti California menyarankan organisasi mengambil masa untuk menjadi bertujuan. Mereka mencadangkan menyertakan tempoh berhenti dalam kerja untuk menilai keputusan dengan lebih baik atau menilai semula andaian, serta mengatur kerja supaya melindungi tempoh fokus pekerja tanpa gangguan. Penyelidik berkata syarikat juga perlu memberi keutamaan pada hubungan manusia dan pertukaran sosial. Josh Cardoz, yang memberikan penasihat kepada organisasi tentang membolehkan orang dalam era AI dalam kerjaannya sebagai ketua kreatif dan pegawai pembelajaran di Sponge, berkata kepada organisasi juga perlu memastikan bahawa dengan menggalakkan penggunaan AI sama ada secara eksplisit atau tersirat, mereka tidak membiarkan kualiti kerja terjejas. Dia berkata perubahan ini perlu datang daripada pihak atas. Pemimpin syarikat perlu menentukan dengan jelas apakah kebolehan AI berarti untuk pekerja bergantung pada peranan mereka. Apabila mereka membuat keputusan tentang strategi AI, mereka harus menggalakkan input pekerja. Pekerja yang sudah memanfaatkan AI sepenuhnya juga perlu diangkat oleh syarikat, katanya. Yang paling penting, apabila berkenaan perubahan pesat di tempat kerja, Cardoz berkata syarikat perlu kembali ke asas dengan menggalakkan pekerja untuk mengambil teknologi baharu, tetapi juga memastikan mereka membantu mengurangkan ketakutan dan ketakutan yang menyertai yang tidak diketahui. “Anda perlu ingat bahawa ada faktor manusia dalam semua ini,” katanya. 用户现在需要把新闻内容翻译成马来语，同时要注意保留公司名称不翻译。首先，我需要逐句进行翻译。首先看第一段：“AI is , but it could also be burning them out, according to a new study by researchers at the University of California at Berkeley.” 翻译为“AI adalah , tetapi ia juga boleh menyebabkan mereka keletihan, mengikut kajian baharu oleh penyelidik di Universiti California di Berkeley.” 接着第二段：“The revolution and the skyrocketing productivity AI promised is already taking hold in corporate America, including at an unnamed 200-person U.S. tech firm studied by the Berkeley researchers, an article about the in-progress research published in the shows.” 翻译为“Revolusi dan produktiviti yang melonjak yang dijanjikan AI sudah mulai merentasi Amerika syarikat, termasuk di sebuah syarikat teknologi AS berjumlah 200 orang yang tidak dinamakan yang dikaji oleh penyelidik Berkeley, seperti yang ditunjukkan dalam artikel tentang penyelidikan yang sedang berlangsung yang diterbitkan di .” 继续后面的段落，要注意专业术语和保持句子通顺。需要仔细处理每一句，确保公司名称如Sponge等不翻译。现在开始逐步翻译： AI adalah , tetapi ia juga boleh menyebabkan mereka keletihan, mengikut kajian baharu oleh penyelidik di Universiti California di Berkeley.Revolusi dan produktiviti yang melonjak yang dijanjikan AI sudah mulai merentasi Amerika syarikat, termasuk di sebuah syarikat teknologi AS berjumlah 200 orang yang tidak dinamakan yang dikaji oleh penyelidik Berkeley, seperti yang ditunjukkan dalam artikel tentang penyelidikan yang sedang berlangsung yang diterbitkan di menunjukkan.

Kemelut jambatan Kanada Trump diabaikan oleh UBS sebagai perdagangan TACO yang tidak mungkin ‘dalam suasana pasca-Heated Rivalry’

February 10, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Satu tahun yang lalu, jika Pejabat Oval telah mengancam untuk membatalkan sebahagian besar infrastruktur yang dikongsi dengan Kanada, pasaran akan berada dalam keadaan kacau bilau. Tetapi kini Februari 2026, dan pelabur hampir tidak ambil peduli.Semalam, Presiden Trump membuat beberapa ancaman terhadap kerajaan Kanada, termasuk menyekat Jambatan Antarabangsa Gordie Howe, yang menghubungkan negeri Michigan dengan wilayah Ontario di Kanada dan dijangka dibuka tahun ini.Sebab kegemparan ini nampaknya adalah rancangan Kanada untuk berdagang lebih rapat dengan China, saingan ekonomi utama AS. Presiden Trump berkata negara jiran itu telah "melayani Amerika Syarikat dengan sangat tidak adil selama beberapa dekad"—retorik yang kini sudah biasa didengar oleh kerajaan asing, terutamanya sejak tarif Hari Pembebasan yang diumumkan pada April 2025. Dalam penulisannya, Presiden Trump berkata China akan "menelan hidup-hidup Kanada" jika hubungan perdagangannya meningkat, dan Amerika akan "hanya mendapat sisa".Trump berkata jambatan itu tidak akan dibenarkan dibuka "sehingga Amerika Syarikat diberi pampasan sepenuhnya untuk segala yang telah kami berikan kepada mereka, dan juga, yang penting, Kanada melayani Amerika Syarikat dengan keadilan dan rasa hormat yang kami layakkan". Rundingan akan bermula "dengan segera", kata Trump. , Senator Demokrat Michigan Elissa Slotkin menulis bahawa membatalkan pembukaan jambatan itu akan mempunyai "kesan serius" terhadap ekonomi negerinya. Beliau berkata ia akan melibatkan kos yang lebih tinggi untuk perniagaan Michigan, meninggalkan rantaian bekalan yang kurang selamat, dan akhirnya membawa kepada kurang pekerjaan. "Dengan ancaman ini, Presiden menghukum rakyat Michigan kerana perang perdagangan yang dimulakannya," tambah senator itu. "Sebab utama Kanada berada di ambang perjanjian perdagangan dengan China adalah kerana Presiden Trump telah menendang mereka setahun lamanya." Kemerosotan hubungan antara Amerika dan jirannya itu memberi kesan yang minima terhadap pasaran pagi ini. Seseorang boleh berhujah bahawa pertikaian mengenai jambatan mungkin tidak mempunyai kesan yang cukup besar untuk Wall Street mengambil perhatian, tetapi penganalisis, pada peringkat ini, juga sudah biasa dengan perdagangan "TACO"—gagasan bahawa Trump Sentiasa Mengelak. Seperti yang diperhatikan Paul Donovan dari UBS pagi ini: "Walaupun dengan nada kenyataan tersebut, pasaran berkemungkinan akan mengabaikan retorik ini (tarif ke atas pengimport AS bagi barangan dari rakan perdagangan Iran, tarif 100% ke atas pengimport AS bagi barangan Kanada, dan tarif 50% ke atas pengimport AS bagi pesawat Kanada belum lagi menjadi kenyataan)." Trump mendakwa China akan menghapuskan hoki ais Trump juga membuat dakwaan yang tidak biasa mengenai sukan kebangsaan negara itu. Beliau berkata: "Perkara pertama yang akan dilakukan China adalah menghentikan semua Hoki Ais yang dimainkan di Kanada, dan menghapuskan Piala Stanley secara kekal". Sebagai salah satu Kanada dari segi penyertaan dan angka penonton, ini kelihatan mustahil, dengan Donovan bergurau bahawa ia lebih mustahil lagi berkat rancangan TV yang popular baru-baru ini: 'Heated Rivalry'. Rancangan itu, dicipta dan dihasilkan di Kanada serta dirakam di Ontario, mengisahkan percintaan terlarang antara dua bintang hoki yang bersaing. Donovan merenungkan bahawa cadangan Trump bahawa "perjanjian perdagangan dengan China akan menyebabkan hoki ais diharamkan di Kanada … mungkin meremehkan sokongan umum Kanada terhadap hoki ais, terutamanya dalam suasana pasca-'Heated Rivalry'."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Von der Leyen membatalkan rencana untuk unit pengintip peribadi UE – Politico kewangan

Von der Leyen membatalkan rencana untuk unit pengintip peribadi UE – Politico

February 10, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Presiden EC dilaporkan mengalami tekanan dalaman di tengah kebimbangan bahawa beliau sedang memusatkan kuasa Presiden Suruhanjaya Eropah Ursula von der Leyen dilaporkan melemahkan usaha beliau untuk menubuhkan unit pengintip di bawah kawalan langsung beliau selepas menghadapi tentangan dalaman yang ketara, demikian laporan Politico pada Isnin. Langkah ini berikutan pertengkaran yang berpanjangan dengan ketua dasar luaran EU Kaja Kallas dan dilaporkan peningkatan keberkatan terhadap penyatuan kuasa von der Leyen. Rancangan untuk sel perisikan khusus dalam Suruhanjaya itu pertama kali diumumkan pada November dan digambarkan sebagai usaha untuk melindungi EU daripada ancaman hibrid yang didakwa daripada Rusia. Unit itu akan beroperasi di seluruh blok dan melapor terus kepada presiden EC. Walau bagaimanapun, empat pegawai memberitahu POLITICO bahawa von der Leyen sedang mengurangkan inisiatif itu, dengan sel itu kini berkemungkinan dinaik taraf ke unit keselamatan. Ini akan membiarkan kebanyakan perkongsian perisikan kepada pusat perkhidmatan luar EU yang sedia ada (INTCEN), yang diurus oleh Kallas. Kemunduran ini berlaku di tengah persaingan birokrasi yang sengit “layak untuk ‘Game of Thrones’” antara kedua-dua pegawai tertinggi, demikian tulisan akhbar Perancis Le Monde. Kallas dikatakan telah mengadu secara peribadi tentang gaya “diktator” von der Leyen selepas beliau menyekat percubaan Kallas untuk melantik sekutu utama ke jawatan kanan. Von der Leyen telah menghadapi kritikan yang semakin meningkat terhadap kepimpinan beliau, dengan pengkritik menuduh beliau memusatkan kuasa, kurang telus, dan memintas negeri-negeri anggota. Bekas Pesuruhjaya Nicolas Schmit menyatakan bahawa di bawah sistem “sangat memusatkan” beliau, para pesuruhjaya “sebanyak-banyaknya dijadikan senyap.” Walaupun ketidakpopularannya semakin meningkat, beliau telah bertahan daripada beberapa undian tidak percaya di Parlimen Eropah, di mana penentang telah menuduh beliau kurang bertanggungjawab dan mengalirkan berbilion-bilion kepada pengmiliteran. Masa jabatan beliau juga telah dicemari oleh skandal rasuah utama, termasuk kes ‘Pfizergate’, di mana beliau secara haram memadam mesej teks tentang perjanjian vaksin Covid pintu belakang dengan gergasi farmaseutikal AS, menurut keputusan mahkamah EU. Moscow juga telah berulang kali mengkritik presiden EC, yang telah menjadi penyokong lantang untuk menghadapi Rusia dan mempersenjatai Ukraine. Pegawai Rusia telah mengecam usaha beliau untuk mengubah EU menjadi “kuasa tentera” untuk mengatasi ‘ancaman Rusia’ yang didakwa – sebuah dasar yang telah dihina Moscow sebagai penakut tanpa asas.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Cukai Trump memberi kesan kepada Honda dengan keuntungan turun 42% dalam tempoh 9 bulan yang lalu

February 10, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Mengumumkan pada hari Selasa penurunan keuntungan sebesar 42% selama sembilan bulan hingga Disember, dibandingkan dengan tahun sebelumnya, kerana telah mempengaruhi pendapatan pengeluar kereta Jepun itu. Keuntungan Honda Motor Co. yang berkedudukan di Tokyo sepanjang tiga suku tahun berjumlah 465.4 bilion yen ($3 bilion), turun dari 805.2 bilion yen. Itu menandakan tahun kedua berturut-turut keuntungan merosot pada tempoh itu di Honda, pengeluar sedan Accord, kompak Civic dan minivan Odyssey. Jualan sepanjang tiga suku tahun turun 2.2% kepada 15.98 trilion yen ($102.6 bilion) dari tahun sebelumnya. Honda tetap mengekalkan ramalan keuntungan tahun fiskal penuhnya pada 300 bilion yen ($1.9 bilion). di pasaran AS adalah salah satu faktor negatif, menurut Honda, manakala prestasi yang agak sihat dalam bahagian motosikalnya menjadi faktor positif. Honda untuk tahun 2030 kepada 20% dari sasaran sebelumnya iaitu 30%. Ia juga berkata ia membatalkan pembangunan beberapa model EV, kerana pasaran EV sedang berubah. , yang telah memihak kepada industri minyak dan gas, telah mundur daripada program-program sebelumnya yang menyokong penyebaran EV, membongkar program-program yang dimulakan semasa pentadbiran Biden, yang telah menggalakkan kereta dan trak yang lebih mesra alam. Tahun lepas, Trump menurunkan ke atas kereta dan alat ganti kereta kepada 15% daripada 25% yang dia telah umumkan pada awalnya. Jepun berjanji untuk melabur $550 bilion dalam projek-projek AS. Cukai import adalah satu hentaman besar kepada ekonomi Jepun yang bergantung kepada eksport, termasuk pengeluar kereta. Minggu lepas, pengeluar kereta terkemuka Jepun melaporkan penurunan keuntungan baru-baru ini, dan mengumumkan bahawa pegawai kewangan utamanya, Kenta Kon, akan menjadi ketua eksekutif dan presiden baharu. Perdana Menteri , yang mengambil alih jawatan pada bulan Oktober sebagai pemimpin wanita pertama Jepun, mencatatkan kemenangan besar dalam pilihan raya parlimen untuk parti pemerintah pada hujung minggu. Itu dijangka memudahkan Parti Demokratik Liberalnya untuk memajukan dasar-dasarnya, termasuk mengukuhkan pertumbuhan dengan meningkatkan perbelanjaan kerajaan, terutamanya dalam teknologi dan pertahanan. Saiz Honda melonjak 2.1% dalam dagangan hari Selasa. Penanda aras Nikkei 225 menamatkan 2.3% lebih tinggi, memperbaharui paras tertinggi rekod untuk hari kedua berturut-turut, dalam pergerakan naik yang sebahagiannya dicetuskan oleh populariti Takaichi.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Ahli NATO Eropah adalah ‘anak-anak’ – Duta AS kewangan

Ahli NATO Eropah adalah ‘anak-anak’ – Duta AS

February 10, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Matthew Whitaker berkata, orang Amerika “masih mencintai” sekutu mereka di benua itu, tetapi mereka perlu dewasa. Duta Amerika Serikat ke NATO Matthew Whitaker telah membandingkan anggota Eropa blok itu dengan anak-anak, yang akhirnya harus meninggalkan perawatan orang tua dan mendapatkan pekerjaan. Selama tahun pertamanya, pemerintahan Presiden Amerika Serikat Donald Trump berulang kali menyatakan bahwa ia akan mengurangi komitmen kepada sekutu-sekutunya di Eropa, sambil fokus pada “mempertahankan Tanah Air AS dan menghalangi China.” Pada hari Senin, penyelenggara Konferensi Keamanan Munich (Munich Security Conference - MSC), yang dijadwalkan berlangsung pada 13 - 15 Februari, menyatakan dalam laporan tahunan mereka bahwa “selama beberapa dekade, Eropa berkembang pesat di bawah payung keamanan Amerika yang memungkinkannya mengutamakan integrasi dan kemakmuran daripada kekuatan militer. Era itu telah berakhir.” Bercakap pada presentasi laporan itu, Whitaker berkata, “Saya sepenuhnya menolak semua yang baru saja saya dengar.” Washington “tidak mencoba untuk membongkar NATO,” tambahnya, tetapi hanya ingin melihat sekutu-sekutunya di Eropa mengambil lebih banyak tanggung jawab untuk pertahanan mereka. “Ketika anak-anak Anda masih kecil, mereka bergantung pada Anda. Tapi akhirnya Anda mengharapkan mereka mendapatkan pekerjaan. Jadi bagi saya, itulah posisi kita sekarang. Kami masih mencintai mereka. Anda masih sekutu,” kata duta itu kepada penonton. Whitaker berterima kasih kepada sekutu-sekutu itu karena setuju untuk meningkatkan pengeluaran militer menjadi 5% pada tahun 2024, tetapi mengatakan bahwa mereka terlalu lamban dalam mengubah uang itu menjadi kemampuan militer yang sebenarnya. “Salah satu hal yang saya perhatikan selama saya berada di Eropa ini adalah ada banyak pembicaraan dan tidak banyak tindakan,” tegasnya. Tahun lalu, Sekretaris Jenderal NATO Mark Rutte menjadi bahan ejekan dan dituduh “berniat menyenangkan” Trump setelah ia menyebut pemimpin Amerika itu “ayah” selama KTT blok di Den Haag. Trump tampaknya menikmati perbandingan itu, memberitahu wartawan bahwa itu adalah tanda kasih sayang. “Saya pikir dia menyukai saya, jika tidak, saya akan kembali dan memukulnya dengan keras,” ejek Trump. Awal pekan ini, Menteri Luar Negeri Rusia Sergey Lavrov mengulangi bahwa Moskow “tidak bermaksud menyerang Eropa. Tidak ada alasan untuk melakukannya.” Namun, NATO akan menghadapi “tanggapan militer penuh” jika itu menggunakan kekuatan terhadap Rusia terlebih dahulu, peringatannya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti Exploration Expands and Upgrades Nevertire with Drilling Recommenced ACN Newswire

Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti Exploration Expands and Upgrades Nevertire with Drilling Recommenced

February 10, 2026
Melbourne, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - February 10, 2026) - Copper-gold explorer and hybrid prospect generator Kincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) (Kincora or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on strong initial results and an acceleration of exploration activities following completion of the Phase 1 drilling program at the Nevertire and Nevertire-South projects. The programs are being conducted under earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (AngloGold Ashanti).Phase 1 drilling has upgraded the immediate target zone and reaffirmed Kincora's view that the Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC) represents the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project within the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc. Drilling has now recommenced to follow up high-priority targets advanced during the second half of 2025.In parallel, exploration activities have expanded to materially increase the search space to the south of the NMC. New geophysical surveys and a review of prior explorer drilling are underway to systematically evaluate and advance a prospective strike length exceeding 40km across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses.HIGHLIGHTSExtensive porphyry complex with multiple discovery potential confirmed: Phase 1 drilling (8-holes for 3385.2 metres, completed in 2H'2025) validated the presence of a large, highly prospective composite volcanic-intrusive complex across a greater than 5.4km strike at the Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC). Drilling intesected porphyry related lithologies, alteration, and vein hosted and disseminated copper, gold and pathfinder mineralisation.Targets upgraded; follow-up drilling underway: Phase 1 successfully upgraded the immediate target zone (open in all directions) and generated strong vectors for follow-up drilling. Copper and gold grades suggest increasing proximity to one or more porphyry system centre(s) (Figure 5). High-priority infill and step-out drilling has recommenced to further refine vectoring patterns and test multiple potential porphyry centres.Scale increased to province-scale: Phase 1 results combined with a review of prior explorer drilling support a greater than six-fold increase in the prospective strike length across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses. An initial ~110km² gravity surveying has been completed as part of a planned ~400km² program. The results, together with historical core resampling, are expected to refine step-out and scout drilling targets across multiple newly interpreted Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes.Expanded scout drilling planned at Nyngan: Planning and permitting are underway to expand scout drilling at two targets at the Nyngan license along with a potential first-ever hole at the adjacent Nyngan South license.Strong partnership and commercial alignment: The Nyngan, Nyngan South, Nevertire South and Nevertire projects form part of two earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti, which has the right to invest up to A$100-million across a total of five projects covering a continuous strike greater than 100km within Kincora's Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (NJNB) portfolio. Kincora currently manages the programs and receives a 10% management fee on expenditures.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, said:"Initial results have been very positive, validating Newcrest's prior analogues to the Cadia-Ridgeway and the Goonumbla (Northparkes) porphyry deposits and reaffirmed our view that the Nevertire Magmatic Complex is the most advanced and prospective porphyry project in the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc. As a result, activities have been expanded to both follow up immediate high priority targets with drilling but also systematically advance a province-scale pipeline across a greater than 40km strike. Phase 1 drilling included large step-out holes from two previously favourable Newcrest intercepts and successfully upgraded the immediate target zone. We are very excited to have recommenced drilling, as the results indicate a new, large-scale mineralised system with the geological characteristics required for multiple discoveries.Additional scale is also emerging to the south. A review of prior explorer drilling and a ground gravity survey completed in late 2025 have highlighted significant southern extension potential, where favourable basement intersections, anomalous results, and untested magnetic and gravity anomalies remain open for drill testing.Separately, planning continues to support further scout drilling at the Nyngan and potentially Nyngan South projects. With a portfolio exceeding 2,350km² and a strong partnership with AngloGold Ashanti, Kincora is well positioned to systematically advance this unique, province-scale opportunity, offering substantial leverage to shareholders."NEVERTIRE AND NEVERTIRE SOUTH PROJECTSTarget specific drilling Following the April 2025 amended and second earn-in agreement with AngloGold Ashanti 1, a first phase drilling program commenced at both the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses in 2H'2025. The program benefitied from unimpeded access across the consolidated ~8 x 12km Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC) and was designed to follow up two prior favourable drill results reported by Newcrest Mining and the most northern drilled holes at the NMC.Newcrest holes ACDNY005 and ACDNY006 were drilled ~2.7km apart, in the central portion of the NMC, and returned "lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with a setting similar to the Cadia-Ridgeway and Goonumbla (Northparkes) porphyry Cu-Au deposits" 2. Kincora's relogging of these holes, led by technical director John Holliday, supported this interpretation.The Phase 1 program included large scale step-out drilling and was designed to identify and define vectoring patterns toward potential porphyry centres. This program was very encouraging in providing strong vectors, upgrading the immediate target zone, supporting Newcrest's previous interpretation and reaffirming the Company's view that the NMC is the most geologically prospective porphyry project in the northern covered extensions of the Macquarie Arc.The 8 hole program, totalling 3385.2 metres, utilised cost-effective mud-rotary drilling through the relatively soft post mineral cover sequence, followed by NQ3 diamond core drilling of the porphyry-prospective basement. All holes intersected basement. Drilling to date has intersected the NMC at shallow to moderate depths, with basement mostly at ~70m (in the south-west) to a 250m depth.Step-out drilling across a greater than 4km of strike intersected multiple porphyritic intrusive phases beneath a moderate thickness of post-mineral cover - see Figures 4-5 and Tables 1-4. Lithologies intersected include monzonite, diorite, dacite, and crowded pyroxene-hornblende andesites - see selected core photographs in Figure 6. Favourable alteration and porphyry-style veining were observed, with copper, gold and pathfinder element geochemistry providing vectors for high-priority follow-up drilling, including copper grades suggestive of increasing proximity to a porphyry system centre(s) (see Figure 5).High priority infill and further step-out drilling has recommenced to discover and refine vectoring patterns toward prospective porphyry centres.Larger scale new target and intrusive complex generation As previously announced, following encouraging initial visual observations, follow-up geophysical surveys commenced in 2H'2025, together with a review of prior explorer drilling results and ground gravity survey data 3.These activities have resulted in a material increase in the prospective search space across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licenses, supporting a total prospective strike of greater than 40km N-S, representing a greater than 6x increase relative to the initial Phase 1 drill strike extent - see Figure 3.A gravity survey covering ~110km2 has been completed and is currently being intergrated with legacy gravity data-sets, totalling ~148km2, acquired by prior explorers. These historical surveys were variable in coverage density and spatial distribution, reflecting piecemeal target-specific objectives. When combined with the new systematic gravity coverage, the dataset is expected to support a more coherent district-scale interpretation, with a further ~290km² of gravity surveying planned in 2026.Prior explorer drilling across the southern extensions of the NMC includes 23 diamond holes totalling 7,383.7 metres, with some drillcore hosted in the publicly accessible Londonderry core library at the NSW Government's WB Clarke Geoscience Centre. Numerous historical drillholes in the Nevertire South priority area and adjacent southern targets were only partially sampled or analysed for a limited element suite, and most critical porphyry pathfinder elements were not consistently assayed.As a result, multiple historical drillholes intersecting basement, coincident with favourable magnetic and/or gravity anomalies and returning anomalous geochemical results, were not advanced beyond initial testing. Many of these intersections are now recognised to be spatially associated with interpreted Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes that remain open and untested.Resampling, re-logging and modern analytical work on high-priority historical drillholes, together with new geophysical data, is planned and is expected to expand and systematically advance the exploration pipeline, refine further step-out and scout drilling targets, and support evaluation of multiple potential new Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes.Figure 1: Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti have partnered to explore new district-scale undercover extensions of the world-class Macquarie Arc in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt via two earn-in and joint venture agreements, currently aggressively drilling large greenfield targets Kincora has a portfolio of eight active projects, including managing two earn-in programs with AngloGold Ashanti, receiving a 10% management fee on expenditures, and covering a continuous 100km strike across 5 adjacent licenses (see References footnote 7 for source data for disclosed inventory/metal endowment)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/283322_9d387295a4fb3b48_001full.jpgFigure 2: Positive results have supported an acceleration of exploration activities, with step-out and infill drilling recommenced at the Nevertire South license, wider exploration planned to the south, and planning underway for recommencing drilling at multiple targets within the the Nyngan license, and potentially a maiden scout hole in the Nyngan South license To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/283322_9d387295a4fb3b48_002full.jpgFigure 3: Phase 1 drilling results reaffirm Kincora's view that the NMC is the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project in the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc, with the southern strike highlighting new province-scale potential A gravity survey covering >100 km² has been completed within a planned total survey area of >400 km².

The district has seen considerable exploration success, including two greater than 10Moz gold equivalent discoveries/resource expansions 7 and an emerging gold discovery by Waratah Resources at the Spur project 8 and LinQ Minerals at the southern zone of the Gilmore project 9.Despite regional magnetics effectively mapping the Macquarie Arc volcanic belts, due to the post mineral cover, there has been very limited prior drilling of the extensions of both the Junee-Narromine and Molong volcanic belts relative to the southern more outcropping sections which hosts a number of world-class deposits and mines (e.g. Cadia, Cowal and Northparkes).Kincora's portfolio and the wider NJNB offers new district-scale discovery potential with spatial and temporal settings, coupled with magnetics, gravity and new Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) surveys, supportive of large-scale targets analogous to porphyry deposits located in the southern section of the Arc.AngloGold Ashanti has secured Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreements with both Kincora and Inflection Resources (AUCU.CSE) ("Inflection", market capitalisation C$31.3 million) within the NJNB with over A$20 million investment to date 10. In 2Q'2025, AngloGold Ashanti moved to Phase II of its earn-in agreement with Inflection designating a total of four projects to continue earning into (including two projects adjacent to Kincora's Nyngan project) 11 and signed a major amendment with Kincora to include a second joint venture supporting a continuous strike greater than a 100kms and five projects.The most recent notable example of a new globally significant emerging porphyry district is the Vicuña district, which is also an extension of a renowned world-class porphyry belt. Vicuña is an extension of the central Andean belts in Argentina on the border of Chile and situated at over 4000m altitude.Within this district NGEx Resources Inc in 2009 held three early-stage exploration projects and at the time had a market capitalisation of approximately C$40 million 12. These same projects are all still at a pre-development phase but have yielded in four large-scale discoveries valued at over A$11 billion 13.Kincora was an early mover into the NJNB and has opportunistically pegged strategically important ground directly from the State resulting in a district scale portfolio of the interpreted most prospective and shallow to moderate covered part of the northwards extension of the Macquarie Arc under post mineral cover. This portfolio now covers a strike twice the length of the Vicuña district and is included in earn-in and agreements with AngloGold Ashanti.ABOUT KINCORAKincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused copper-gold explorer with a hybrid prospect generator strategy. The Company is now successfully proving up the prospectivity of its extensive project portfolio, which includes multiple district-scale landholdings and scalable drill ready targets. These assets are located in Australia's Macquarie Arc and Mongolia's Southern Gobi, two of the globe's leading porphyry belts, and the historical Condobolin mining field within the Cobar Basin in NSW.Kincora is using an asset level partner model to develop and implement exploration strategies for its wholly-owned large-scale exploration stage porphyry projects. The Company has already unlocked over $100 million of potential partner funding for multiple earlier stage and/or non-core porphyry projects 13. These initial deals have supported over 16,000 metres of drilling and over A$7m of partner funded exploration since late 2024 until September 30, 2025, with management fees and exploration ramping up 14.Partner discussions are ongoing for its remaining 100% owned flagship projects that are all situated within existing porphyry camps containing over 20-million-ounce gold equivalent resource inventory.Kincora's ambition is to be the operator for exploration budgets of over $10 million per annum for the porphyry portfolio providing sufficient project management fees for the Company to be self-funding (covering corporate costs and maintenance of remaining wholly owned projects) and have partnerships with a diversified portfolio of industry leading producers/explorers. This is in addition to the various other existing partnerships where Kincora is not the operator or receiving a management fee income stream.The Company has assembled an industry leading technical team who have made multiple world-class copper and gold discoveries, who have "skin in the game" equity ownership, and, backed by a consolidated and sophisticated shareholder register. In Septmber 2025, Kincora closed an oversubscribed C$4 million non-brokered private placement of units led by leading North American investors, including Rick Rule and Jeff Phillips, and their investor networks.The share units have a 12-month hold period and there is an accelerator on the warrants - both at the lead investors requests. This raising is concurrent with a corporate restructuring and share capital roll back with only 43-million shares outstanding and over 60% of the register held by reporting insiders and/or in 12-month hold stock.The roll back and placement terms provides Kincora the corporate structure to leverage the deals, partner funding and project results already in place and to unlock significant existing value. This is starting to be realized.The new capital provides the ability to accelerate more drilling, do more asset level deals, earn more management fees, and, ultimately, supporting the ambition of more (big) new discoveries. These multiple avenues all provide further material value catalysts for shareholders.The financing also supports Kincora pursuing a hybrid project generator model and undertaking drilling at our 100% owned Condobolin project. The Condobolin project hosts a historical mining field located within the Cobar Basin and within trucking distance to an existing mill seeking third party ore. The Cobar Basin has recently seen a number of significant new discoveries (eg Federation, Achilles, Mallee Bull, Southern Nights and Wagga Tank) and significant corporate activity (eg Harmony's A$1.6 billion takeover of MAC, Kingston Resources receiving A$50 million cash for the first tranche of its divestment of its Misima project etc). The project and regional profiles' support the Condobolin project being an asset that a junior explorer such as Kincora can add significant value too.By having a significant portfolio of partner funded large porphyry projects, and a very focused program on a 100% owned project, the Company is seeking to position Kincora as a leading institutional grade explorer in the public Australian and Canadian markets, and the leading project generator on the ASX.To learn more, please visit: www.kincoracopper.comThis announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Kincora Copper Limited (ARBN 645 457 763)For further information please contact:Sam Spring, President and Chief Executive Officersam.spring@kincoracopper.com or +61431 329 345Laurie Thomas, Strategic Advisorlaurie.thomas@kincoracopper.com or +1306 341 3826Media contactJulia Maguire, Managing Director, The Capital Networkjulia@thecapitalnetwork.com.au or +61 2 7257 7338Executive office400 - 837 West Hastings StreetVancouver, BC V6C 3N6, CanadaTel: 1.604.283.1722Subsidiary office AustraliaC/- JM Corporate ServicesLevel 6, 350 Collins StreetMelbourne, VIC, Australia 3000Qualified PersonThe scientific and technical information in this announcement was prepared in accordance with the standards of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum and National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and was reviewed, verified and compiled by Kincora's staff under the supervision of Peter Leaman (M.Sc.

EU pertimbang ‘keahlian ringan’ untuk Kiev – Politico kewangan

EU pertimbang ‘keahlian ringan’ untuk Kiev – Politico

February 10, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Brussels sedang mencari cara untuk meneutralkan Hungary supaya Ukraine boleh diterima masuk ke dalam blok itu, kata sumber-sumber Pegawai-pegawai EU sedang mempertimbangkan untuk menawarkan Ukraine keahlian formal yang terhad yang akan memintas keperluan untuk Kiev memenuhi syarat kemasukan biasa, lapor Politico. Presiden Suruhanjaya Eropah Ursula von der Leyen cuba untuk meluluskan satu siri perubahan peraturan asas dalam usaha untuk mencipta blok dua peringkat yang boleh disatukan oleh Kiev. Ukraine mahukan keahlian penuh EU pada 2027 dan mahu ia dimasukkan dalam perjanjian damai yang dimediasi AS dengan Rusia. Rancangan EU itu akan memberi Kiev "tempat duduk di meja EU sebelum melaksanakan pembaharuan yang diperlukan untuk keistimewaan keahlian penuh," tulis Politico pada Selasa, memetik lima diplomat dan lima pegawai yang bercakap dengan syarat tanpa nama. Satu laporan Bloomberg yang berasingan mengatakan "keahlian berperingkat" sedang dikaji semula. Model "keahlian-lite" yang dicadangkan – juga ditujukan untuk Moldova dan Albania – memerlukan pengatasi bantahan dari Budapest. Sumber-sumber Politico berkata penyokong berharap Perdana Menteri Hungary Viktor Orban kalah dalam pilihan raya parlimen April. Jika dia menang, mereka menjangkakan Presiden AS Donald Trump akan menekannya. Pilihan lain adalah menggantung hak mengundi Hungary melalui prosedur Artikel 7. Jerman dilaporkan menentang rancangan itu tetapi boleh dipengaruhi oleh kerajaan-kerajaan pro-Ukraine di Perancis, Itali dan Poland. Moscow telah menyalahkan Brussels kerana mencetuskan krisis Ukraine dengan memaksa pilihan antara blok itu dan Rusia. Rampasan kuasa Euromaidan 2014 dicetuskan apabila Kiev menangguhkan perjanjian persatuan EU yang akan menamatkan perjanjian perdagangan bebasnya dengan Moscow. Pegawai-pegawai EU mendakwa Ukraine sedang membuat kemajuan dalam pembaharuan yang diperlukan, tetapi skandal rasuah baru-baru ini yang melibatkan pegawai kanan telah menimbulkan keraguan mengenai komitmen Kiev. Ahli undang-undang Ukraine juga telah menentang perubahan yang tidak popular. Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kewangan Verkhovna Rada Daniil Getmantsev memberi amaran minggu lepas bahawa menghalang Ahli Parlimen boleh menyebabkan "bencana" belanjawan jika tindakan mereka menyekat pinjaman antarabangsa selanjutnya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

KS Energy and Hitachi Collaborate on Extra-High Voltage Battery Energy Storage System JCN Newswire

KS Energy and Hitachi Collaborate on Extra-High Voltage Battery Energy Storage System

February 9, 2026
TOKYO, Feb 10, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - KS Energy Co., Ltd. ("KS Energy"), a renewable energy business company and Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501, “Hitachi”) agreed on February 6 to collaborate on the development and operation of an Extra-High Voltage Grid Battery Energy Storage System*1 within Kumamoto Prefecture, as well as the development and operation of power trading businesses. Hitachi will provide project development support for KS Energy's development of the project and jointly promote the development and operation of this battery energy storage system (tentative name)*2 . Additionally, KS Energy will also explore the introduction of a power trading support system planned for development by Hitachi.This initiative will support stable power supply in the Kyushu region and contribute to achieving carbon neutrality.*1 Extra-High Voltage Grid Battery Energy Storage System: Large-scale battery storage facilities directly connected to the power grid (such as transmission lines) with a capacity of 2,000 kW or more.*2 Power Trading Support System: A power trading support system for operators managing large-scale grid-connected storage batteries. It supports traders' daily operations comprehensively—from bid planning and market transactions to submitting plans to OCCTO—across both the supply-demand adjustment market and the wholesale electricity market. System development also incorporates collaboration with other companies, such as bid plan optimization services. This contributes to improved profitability through trading based on optimal bid plans and streamlines routine daily tasks like plan submission.BackgroundRenewable energy generation fluctuates due to weather changes and other factors, significantly impacting the power supply-demand balance. Particularly in the Kyushu region, where renewable energy adoption is advancing, output curtailment occurs frequently when generation exceeds demand. Securing balancing power to stabilize the power grid is an urgent priority. Furthermore, as the policy framework for promoting renewable energy shifts from the FIT (Feed-in Tariff) system to the FIP (Feed-in Premium) system, power generators are now required to develop their own electricity trading capabilities to formulate strategies for selling electricity in the power market. Against this backdrop, the importance of "aggregators" – entities that consolidate and control energy resources to adjust supply-demand balance – is growing. They are expected to contribute to the effective utilization and stable supply of renewable energy by engaging in both the electricity market and the power trading market.To address this situation, KS Energy, established in January 2024 with full investment from Higo Bank, Ltd. (part of the Kyushu Financial Group), has adopted a policy to contribute to stabilizing power supply as a regional energy company, aiming to make the entire Kyushu region a leading area for renewable energy circulation. Meanwhile, Hitachi has a long history in the power sector, providing a wide range of advanced solutions from energy storage systems to transmission and distribution infrastructure and grid protection devices.Through this collaborative effort, both companies will combine their respective strengths. By developing and operating energy storage facilities and engaging in power trading, they aim to achieve carbon neutrality in the Kyushu region.Initiative DetailsKS Energy and Hitachi have decided to jointly develop and operate battery energy storage system in the Kyushu region. This initiative contributes to stabilizing local power supply by charging and discharging in response to electricity demand-supply balance, thereby providing balancing power.1. Nation's First Extra-High Voltage Battery Energy Storage System project launched by a regional bank group This marks the first instance nationwide of a bank subsidiary's renewable energy business company undertaking a grid energy battery business in the extra-high voltage range. Through this initiative, we aim to contribute to stable power supply. Additionally, KS Energy is considering managing the power trading for the storage facility in-house. The plan involves handling the entire operational process: forecasting electricity market prices, creating power generation (charging/discharging) plans for the batteries, controlling the storage facility, and monetizing through market transactions. In the future, leveraging its operational expertise in storage facilities and collaborating with Higo Bank, KS Energy will enhance support for power generators and provide financing support to storage facility developers. This will enable the delivery of services extending beyond the financial sector, promote efficient electricity usage within local communities, and contribute to achieving regional carbon neutrality and decarbonization.2. Joint Promotion of Project Development from the Early Stage Leveraging Hitachi’s extensive experience in battery energy storage systems, Hitachi and KS Energy will jointly promote the development of energy storage facilities. The Hitachi Group will work together to promote project development through to operational launch. This includes cooperation from grid connection application discussions with transmission and distribution operators to applications and procedures with relevant ministries and agencies, provision of business feasibility evaluation information, supply of Hitachi Energy-manufactured PCS, and project management covering equipment design, procurement, and installation. Hitachi will sustainably support KS Energy's stable operations of the storage facility.3. Collaboration in Power Trading Business To stably utilize rapidly expanding renewable energy, the need for aggregation functions that balance electricity supply and demand is growing. KS Energy is considering introducing Hitachi's planned power trading support systemto achieve efficient energy resource utilization and aim for stable power supply. Under Hitachi's Lumada 3.0 initiative, the company is deploying "HMAX by Hitachi" (hereinafter HMAX), a next-generation AI solution suite that tackles the most complex challenges facing social infrastructure. This is achieved by combining vast data from both physical and digital assets with advanced AI enhanced by Hitachi's unique deep domain knowledge. In the electric power trading area as well, Hitachi will realize services that optimize the operation of storage battery assets and maximize market value, and aim to deploy them as HMAX.Future DevelopmentsKS Energy and Hitachi will collaborate to achieve both the mainstreaming of renewable energy as a primary power source and stable supply through the development of battery energy storage system and enhanced aggregation functions, working together toward realizing regional carbon neutrality.Overview of Grid-Connected Storage FacilityStorage Facility Name : (Provisional name) KSE Kumamoto Battery Energy Storage SystemStorage Facility Location (Planned) : Within Kumamoto PrefectureRated Output/Rated Capacity (Planned) : 50,000 kW / 112,880 kWhScheduled Start of Operation : January 2029 Copyright 2026 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

It is a humanized immunoglobulin gamma (IgG1) monoclonal antibody directed against aggregated soluble (protofibril) and insoluble forms of amyloid-beta (Aβ). Lecanemab has been approved in 53 countries and regions including Japan, the United States, China, Europe, South Korea, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia, and is under regulatory review in 6 countries. Following the initial phase with treatment every two weeks for 18 months, intravenous (IV) maintenance dosing with treatment every four weeks was approved in 7 countries including the U.S., China, the UK, and others, and applications have been filed in 7 countries and regions. The U.S. FDA approved Eisai’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for subcutaneous maintenance dosing with LEQEMBI IQLIK in August 2025. A Supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for initiation treatment was accepted in January 2026. The sBLA has been granted Priority Review, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of May 24, 2026. In November 2025, an application for a subcutaneous injectable formulation in Japan was submitted. In January 2026, the Biologics License Application (BLA) for the subcutaneous formulation was accepted in China. In December 2025, Lecanemab (IV) has been included in the “Commercial Insurance Innovative Drug List”, recently introduced by the National Healthcare Security Administration (NHSA) of China. Since July 2020 the Phase 3 clinical study (AHEAD 3-45) for individuals with preclinical AD, meaning they are clinically normal and have intermediate or elevated levels of amyloid in their brains, is ongoing. AHEAD 3-45 is conducted as a public-private partnership between the Alzheimer's Clinical Trial Consortium that provides the infrastructure for academic clinical trials in AD and related dementias in the U.S, funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, Eisai and Biogen. Since January 2022, the Tau NexGen clinical study for Dominantly Inherited AD (DIAD), that is conducted by Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer Network Trials Unit (DIAN-TU), led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, is ongoing and includes lecanemab as the backbone anti-amyloid therapy.About ProtofibrilProtofibrils are believed to contribute to the brain injury that occurs with AD and are considered to be the most toxic form of soluble Aβ, having a primary role in the cognitive decline associated with this progressive, debilitating condition.1 Protofibrils cause injury to neurons in the brain, which in turn, can negatively impact cognitive function via multiple mechanisms, not only increasing the development of insoluble Aβ plaques but also increasing direct damage to brain cell membranes and the connections that transmit signals between nerve cells or nerve cells and other cells. It is believed the reduction of protofibrils may prevent the progression of AD by reducing damage to neurons in the brain and cognitive dysfunction.2About the Collaboration between Eisai and Biogen for ADEisai and Biogen have been collaborating on the joint development and commercialization of AD treatments since 2014. Eisai serves as the lead of lecanemab development and regulatory submissions globally with both companies co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.About the Collaboration between Eisai and BioArctic for ADSince 2005, Eisai and BioArctic have had a long-term collaboration regarding the development and commercialization of AD treatments. Eisai obtained the global rights to study, develop, manufacture and market lecanemab for the treatment of AD pursuant to an agreement with BioArctic in December 2007. The development and commercialization agreement on the antibody lecanemab back-up was signed in May 2015.About Eisai Co., Ltd.Eisai's Corporate Concept is "to give first thought to patients and people in the daily living domain, and to increase the benefits that health care provides."

Trump mengancam untuk menyekat jambatan ke Kanada kewangan

Trump mengancam untuk menyekat jambatan ke Kanada

February 9, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Presiden AS menuntut pemilikan "sekurang-kurangnya separuh" daripada lintasan antara Ontario dan Michigan Presiden Donald Trump telah mengancam untuk menyekat pembukaan jambatan baharu utama yang menghubungkan Kanada dan Amerika Syarikat melainkan Washington menerima pampasan dan pegangan pemilikan separa dalam projek itu. Dalam satu hantaran panjang di platform Truth Social miliknya pada Isnin, Trump berkata beliau tidak akan membenarkan Jambatan Antarabangsa Gordie Howe – yang menghubungkan Windsor, Ontario, dan Detroit, Michigan – dibuka sehingga Amerika Syarikat "diberi pampasan sepenuhnya" dan Kanada melayan AS dengan apa yang beliau sifatkan sebagai "keadilan dan rasa hormat." "Dengan semua yang telah kami berikan kepada mereka, kami sepatutnya memiliki, mungkin, sekurang-kurangnya separuh daripada aset ini. Hasil yang dijana kerana pasaran AS akan menjadi sangat besar," tulisnya. Trump menuduh Kanada mendapat manfaat secara tidak seimbang daripada projek itu, mendakwa ia dibina dengan "hampir tiada kandungan AS" dan mendakwa bahawa pengecualian yang dikeluarkan di bawah bekas presiden Barack Obama membenarkan Kanada memintas keperluan Buy American. Beliau juga mengulangi rungutan lama mengenai tarif tenusu Kanada, sekatan wilayah ke atas penjualan alkohol AS dan jangkauan Ottawa ke China. Trump menyokong jambatan itu semasa penggal pertamanya, menggelarnya sebagai "penghubung ekonomi yang penting," walaupun terdapat lobi daripada pemilik Jambatan Ambassador, yang telah lama menentang projek itu. Ancaman baharu itu timbul di tengah-tengah ketegangan yang lebih luas dalam hubungan AS-Kanada. Dalam beberapa minggu kebelakangan ini, Trump juga telah memberi amaran mengenai tarif tinggi ke atas pesawat buatan Kanada dan mencadangkan langkah-langkah punitif jika Ottawa memperdalam hubungan perdagangan dengan Beijing. Perdana Menteri Kanada Mark Carney telah menolak dakwaan bahawa Kanada sedang mengejar perjanjian perdagangan bebas dengan China dan telah menggesa Washington untuk menghormati kedaulatan Kanada.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Victoria’s Secret berkata Gen Z tidak membesar dengan beban imej badan era 2000-an — dan mereka kembali menyambut pertunjukan fesyen glamor itu

February 9, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Victoria’s Secret bertaruh bahawa generasi yang dibesarkan dengan penerimaan tubuh—bukan gaya "heroin chic"—sudah bersedia untuk merampas kembali landasan pancarannya yang terkenal. Pembeli yang lebih muda kelihatan tidak malu-malu dalam menyukai tontonan dan kilauan, glamour pakaian dalam, . Bekas CEO Anthropologie dan pesaing Savage X Fenty, beliau menyertai syarikat pada musim luruh 2024 selepas beberapa percubaan yang tidak berjaya untuk mengubah naratif mengenai jenama yang pernah popular itu. Dan walaupun Victoria’s Secret sebelum ini telah membuang pertunjukan landasannya, Super telah menghidupkannya semula. Pelanggan Gen Z yang menonton versi baharu pertunjukan hari ini tidak membesar bersama trauma imej tubuh era 2000-an seperti yang dialami milenial. Beliau dibesarkan oleh ibu Gen X yang cuba untuk tidak mewariskan isu tubuhnya sendiri, yang mahukan anak perempuannya menjadi "kuat dan tidak terganggu oleh semua hingar itu," kata Super. Gen Z boleh menghargai keseronokan Victoria’s Secret Angels tanpa semestinya melihat mereka sebagai sesuatu yang diidamkan—atau yang mencetuskan keresahan. Pergeseran sikap itu adalah teras kepada strategi kemunculan semula Victoria’s Secret di bawah Super, yang memanggil syarikat itu "peluang transformasi terbesar dalam peruncitan." Pada Oktober 2025, beliau menyaksikan setahun kerja memuncak dalam pertunjukan fesyen jenama yang dihidupkan semula di Steiner Studios, Brooklyn. "Lights, Camera, Angels," terpapar di skrin sebelum bilik itu menjadi gelap. Pertunjukan itu dibuka dengan model Jasmine Tookes, yang anggun dengan sayap emas dan mendukung perutnya yang mengandung sembilan bulan—sebuah tubuh yang tidak akan pernah muncul di landasan pada era jenama yang lebih awal. Penonton menyukai Angel lama seperti Adriana Lima, kini pertengahan empat puluhan dan ibu kepada lima anak; super generasi seterusnya Bella dan Gigi Hadid; model 'curve' termasuk Ashley Graham dan Precious Lee; serta atlet seperti bintang WNBA Angel Reese dan gimnastik Olimpik Suni Lee. Bagi Super, sayap, manik, dan tumit tinggi yang diperbaharui itu bukanlah satu langkah undur daripada kemajuan tetapi satu penyesuaian semula. "Saya tidak rasa, sebagai wanita, kita pernah berhenti mahu merasa cantik atau seksi atau berkuasa dalam kulit kita sendiri," katanya. "Tetapi kita mahu mentakrifkannya. Kita tidak mahu orang lain mentakrifkannya untuk kita."
