      • "content": "LOS ANGELES :James Blake believes men's tennis is poised for another Golden Era thanks to blossoming rivalries between the likes of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner as the ex-world number four prepares to return to action himself as part of the new Legends Team Cup. Blake, who retired from the ATP Tour in 2013 after a career spent battling greats including Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal, said every changing of the guard brings anxiety that the sport will regress. \"With every generation there's this dread of a doomsday situation,\" he told Reuters from a golf course in San Diego. \"What's going to happen when all these legends leave? I remember when it was, 'What is the Tour going to do when (Pete) Sampras and Agassi are gone?' \"And then before you know it Roger and Rafa show up. Novak (Djokovic) is still hanging on, not wanting to pass the torch, but at this point it's kind of being ripped out of his hands by the likes of Sinner and Alcaraz.\" He said the contrast in playing styles and personalities - the passionate Alcaraz's improvisational assault verse the emotionally reserved Sinner's aggressive baseline slugging - makes them ideal foes. \"The game just gets better and better,\" said Blake, who is the tournament director of the Miami Open and a commentator for ESPN. \"I'm never gonna be one of those commentators that says, you know, back in my day, we would do it better than this. \"No. The game keeps getting better and I love that about it. And seeing how Sinner plays makes me very happy I'm retired. The guy just has absolutely zero holes. So it's really fun to see.\" LEGENDS TEAM CUP Blake will make his return to competitive tennis this summer when the Legends Team Cup debuts. Blake, Spanish former world number one Carlos Moya and two-time Davis Cup champion Mark Philippoussis of Australia are the captains of the team competition, which divides 18 former players into three teams. Blake said it will not be like the \"hit and giggle\" exhibition events former pros sometimes take part in, in part because of the $12 million total prize purse on the line. \"When you leave from being a pro tennis player, your competitive spirit doesn't leave,\" said the 45-year-old Blake. \"You maybe can't play at that absolute top, top level that we were all at and we're all used to and your body starts failing you a little bit. \"So to have an opportunity to still really compete with others that have that ability and that fire is such a cool concept.\" The first Legends Teams Cup event will see Team Blake take on Team Philippoussis in St. Barth June 12-14.",

This exciting new partnership will bring HANYUL's signature skincare to U.S. consumers both online and in Sephora stores nationwide. Known for combining the finest traditional Korean ingredients with science-backed formulas, HANYUL aims to offer a truly authentic skincare experience that bridges the wisdom of Korea's beauty traditions with modern science. \"We're honored to partner with Sephora for this highly anticipated launch,\" said Cecilia Park, HANYUL's head of brand at Amorepacific US. \"Our products are deeply rooted in Korean heritage and traditional skin remedies, harnessing the power of time-tested ingredients, while delivering results backed by science.

The brand's dedication to authenticity is evident not only in its formulations, but also in its way of sourcing these traceable, key ingredients from local farms in Korea—where artisans meticulously hand-pick and cultivate at only the highest standards. \"HANYUL has been a beloved brand among Korean skincare consumers for decades,\" shared Justin Kim, HANYUL Global Brand President. \"We are thrilled to announce our expansion beyond the Korean market to introduce the brand to U.S. customers in collaboration with Sephora.

Then, in July, Sephora-exclusive minis of the Yuja Brightening Sleeping Mask, Artemisia Soothing Gel Cream, and Red Rice Hydrating Serum will join the online lineup.

      • "content": "PARIS: The world's wealthiest 10 per cent of individuals are responsible for two thirds of global warming since 1990, researchers said on Wednesday (May 7). How the rich consume and invest has substantially increased the risk of deadly heatwaves and drought, they reported in the first study to quantify the impact of concentrated private wealth on extreme climate events. \"We link the carbon footprints of the wealthiest individuals directly to real-world climate impacts,\" lead author Sarah Schoengart, a scientist at ETH Zurich, told AFP. \"It's a shift from carbon accounting toward climate accountability.\" Compared to the global average, for example, the richest one per cent contributed 26 times more to once-a-century heatwaves, and 17 times more to droughts in the Amazon, according to the findings, published in Nature Climate Change. Emissions from the wealthiest 10 per cent in China and the United States - which together account for nearly half of global carbon pollution - each led to a two-to-threefold rise in heat extremes. Burning fossil fuels and deforestation have heated Earth's average surface by 1.3 degrees Celsius, mostly during the last 30 years. Schoengart and colleagues combined economic data and climate simulations to trace emissions from different global income groups and assess their impact on specific types of climate-enhance extreme weather. The researchers also emphasised the role of emissions embedded in financial investment rather than just lifestyle and personal consumption. \"Climate action that doesn't address the outsized responsibilities of the wealthiest members of society risk missing one of the most powerful levers we have to reduce future harm,\" said senior author Carl-Friedrich Schleussner, head of the Integrated Climate Impacts Research Group at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis near Vienna. BILLIONAIRES TAX Owners of capital, he noted, could be held accountable for climate impacts through progressive taxes on wealth and carbon-intensive investments. Earlier research has shown that taxing asset-related emissions is more equitable than broad carbon taxes, which tend to burden those on lower incomes. Recent initiatives to increase taxes on the super-rich and multinationals have mostly stalled, especially since Donald Trump regained the White House. Last year, Brazil - as host of the G20 - pushed for a two-per cent tax on the net worth of individuals with more than US$1 billion in assets. Although G20 leaders agreed to \"engage cooperatively to ensure that ultra-high-net-worth individuals are effectively taxed\", there has been no follow-up to date. In 2021, nearly 140 countries agreed on work toward a global corporate tax for multinational companies, with nearly half endorsing a minimum rate of 15 per cent, but those talks have stalled as well. Almost a third of the world's billionaires are from the United States - more than China, India and Germany combined, according to Forbes magazine. According to anti-poverty NGO Oxfam, the richest 1 per cent have accumulated US$42 trillion in new wealth over the past decade. It says the richest one per cent have more wealth than the lowest 95 per cent combined.",

      • "content": "VATICAN CITY: The Vatican's papal conclave to choose a new spiritual leader for the world's 1.4 billion Catholics is governed by procedures and rituals that have evolved over centuries. But the result of the election will be influenced by an arithmetic unique to this year's exercise: 133 CARDINAL ELECTORS A record number of churchmen are eligible to vote in the conclave. There are 135 who meet the criteria - to be a cardinal under the age of 80 - but only 133 are to take part in the vote , with two said to be too ill to attend. This is up from 115 during the last two conclaves in 2005 and 2013. Among them, 52 hail from Europe, 23 from Asia, 17 from South or Central America, 17 from Africa, 20 from North America and four from Oceania. 69 COUNTRIES The cardinal electors come from 69 countries across five continents, another record, plus Jerusalem. 70 YEARS AND THREE MONTHS The average age of the cardinal electors is 70 years and three months. The youngest is Ukraine's Mykola Bychok, archbishop of Melbourne, at 45. The oldest is Carlos Osoro Sierra, a Spaniard who at 79 years and 11 months was almost too old to vote. 81.2 PER CENT A large majority, 81.2 per cent, of the 133 cardinal electors were appointed by Pope Francis during his 12 years at the head of the Holy See. These 108 are taking part in their first conclave. Among the veterans, 20 were named by Benedict XVI and five by John Paul II. 17 ITALIANS For centuries ,both the papacy and the college of cardinals were dominated by Italians, but as the church has gone global, their numbers have fallen. Nevertheless, at 17, Italy still has the biggest national contribution, down from 28 in 2013. 15 NEW COUNTRIES Some 15 countries are represented for the first time, with cardinals from Haiti, Cape Verde, Papua New Guinea and South Sudan. 18 RELIGIOUS ORDERS Within the Catholic Church are several religious orders. Pope Francis, for example, was a Jesuit and 18 such movements will have cardinals in the Sistine Chapel for the voting. FOUR VOTES PER DAY If no clear winner emerges in the initial ballot, the cardinals will vote four times a day, twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon, until a majority emerges. 89-VOTE MAJORITY The new pope will need a two-thirds majority. With 133 in the room, 89 cardinals must write their names on their secret ballot papers. TWO STOVES The ballots cast by the cardinals are burned in a stove, both to preserve the secrecy of the process and to act as a signal of progress to the faithful gathered outside the sealed chapel. Today, two stoves are used, connected to the same chimney . In one, the ballots are burned, in the other, a chemical compound is burned to create either black smoke - no majority yet -- or white - a new pope has been chosen. TWO DAYS? If no majority emerges quickly, in theory, a conclave could continue for weeks or months. In practice, the previous two - the 2005 election of Pope Benedict XVI and of Pope Francis in 2013 - lasted two days. In the 20th and 21st centuries, conclaves have never lasted longer than five days, as was the case for Pope Pius XI's election in 1922, which required 14 ballots.",

      • "content": "Ukrainian drones targeted Moscow for a third day on Wednesday (May 7), forcing most of the Russian capital's airports to close hours before Chinese President Xi Jinping was due to fly in for a pomp-filled visit that Kyiv has made clear it opposes. Xi, whose country buys more Russian oil and gas than any other, and which has thrown Moscow an economic lifeline that has helped it navigate Western sanctions imposed over its war in Ukraine, is due to arrive on Wednesday evening. When asked during a news briefing about air attacks by both sides on each others' capitals, a spokesperson for the Chinese foreign ministry did not comment on Xi's trip, saying only that the \"top priority\" was to avoid an escalation in tensions. The Kremlin said the attempted Ukrainian attacks on Moscow showed Kyiv's tendency to commit \"acts of terrorism\" and that Russia's intelligence services and military were doing everything necessary to ensure the security of the upcoming anniversary commemorations. Xi is the most powerful world leader expected to attend a military parade on Moscow's Red Square on Friday to mark the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Union and its allies over Nazi Germany. His expected attendance hands President Vladimir Putin an important diplomatic boost at a time when the Russian leader is keen to show his country is not isolated on the world stage. The Kremlin has touted Xi's presence, along with that of 28 other world leaders, as a sign of Russia's growing global authority. But Ukraine's Foreign Ministry - in comments that seemed directed at China whose troops are due to march on Red Square - on Tuesday urged countries not to send their militaries to participate in the May 9 parade, saying such participation would go against some countries' declared neutrality in the war. Ukrainian officials said on Wednesday that Russia had launched its own air attack on Kyiv overnight, killing a mother and her son. Russia says it only targets military objects. DRONES TARGETED MOSCOW Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that Russian air defence units had destroyed at least 14 Ukrainian drones headed for the Russian capital overnight. Moscow's key airports remained out of operation for most of the night, and Russian airlines were forced to cancel many flights. Xi has called for talks to end the war in Ukraine and has accused the US of stoking the war with weapons supplies to Kyiv. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has in the past urged him to try to persuade Putin to end the war. Xi is due to hold talks with the Russian leader on Thursday and to join other world leaders for the parade on Friday. His visit comes as US President Donald Trump is trying to push Moscow and Kyiv to find a way to end the war in Ukraine, with both sides blaming each other for a lack of progress. Locked in a tariff war with the United States, Xi is expected to sign numerous agreements to deepen an already tight strategic partnership with Moscow, which has consistently seen China crowned Russia's biggest trading partner. Despite recent efforts under Trump to reset US-Russia ties, Putin is expected to present a united front with Xi against Washington, whose dominance and \"exceptionalism\" both countries have questioned, arguing for a more multipolar world. POST-WAR INTERNATIONAL ORDER In a signed article published by Russian media on Wednesday, Xi wrote that China and Russia must \"firmly maintain the post-war international order\". \"The two sides should jointly resist any attempt to disrupt and undermine China-Russia friendship and mutual trust,\" read the text of the article, Chinese state media reported. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova called the visit \"one of the central events in Russian-Chinese relations this year.\" \"The World War Two focus is about the post-war international order and now the US is dismantling or undermining it. So China and Russia will frame themselves as the defenders of the international order and the UN system, and oppose US unilateralism and hegemony,\" said Yun Sun, a China politics analyst at the Stimson Center in Washington. In their talks, Putin and Xi will discuss the \"most sensitive\" issues, including energy cooperation and the proposed but yet to be built Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline to China, Yuri Ushakov, a top Kremlin aide, said.",

      • "description": "Experience a Captivating Fusion of Art and Technology as Steven Harrington's Whimsical Pop Art Comes to Life on LG's Most Advanced TVs for 2025 SEOUL, South Korea, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics (LG) is partnering with iconic psychedelic pop artist and LA 2028 Olympics logo designer Steven Harrington at Frieze New York 2025 for the \"Steven Harrington X LG OLED: Stop to Smell the Flowers\" exhibition, showcasing the artist's dynamically vivid artwork on LG's latest and most premium OLED TVs. This collaboration highlights the visual excellence and vibrant colors of LG's newest OLED lineup, including the transparent LG SIGNATURE OLED T – bringing the kinetic energy of Harrington's California-inspired work to life for a truly immersive digital art experience. A playful exhibition space featuring vibrant artwork by Steven Harrington showcased on LG OLED screens. Known for his vibrant and immersive psychedelic pop art, Harrington joins forces with LG to demonstrate the strengths of OLED technology, including perfect blacks and vivid colors.* Harrington chose LG OLED as his digital canvas, citing the display's ability to faithfully capture his artistic vision through exceptional color reproduction and design innovation. Together, they have created a whimsical exhibition at Frieze, highlighting the unique qualities of both the artist's work and LG's technology. Visitors to the exhibition will meet Mello, one of Harrington's signature characters who embodies the joy of everyday moments and creativity – brought to life on the advanced LG SIGNATURE OLED T transparent TV. Mello playfully waves to the audience against an opaque floral backdrop. As he invites the audience to come closer, the flowers fall away, revealing a transparent screen where they can step behind to take a picture with Mello. This dynamic transition between opaque and transparent screens offers a surreal, AR-like experience for exhibition-goers. Set against a muted black and grey background, LG OLED screens amplify the brilliance of Harrington's vibrant imagery. The exhibition features the new LG OLED evo M5, G5 and StanbyME 2 TVs, each displaying Harrington's colorful works, with Mello seamlessly moving in and out of the screens. The M5 model highlights its wireless capabilities for a clutter-free setup, while the G5 boasts its exceptional self-lit technology for stunning visuals with deep blacks. The soon-to-be-launched StanbyME 2 is one of the most versatile and portable lifestyle TVs, adaptable for various settings – whether wall-mounted, propped up – or placed on a stand. \"This collaboration has completely expanded the way I think about making art,\" said Harrington. \"Being the first artist in the U.S. to work with LG's transparent OLED TV gave me a chance to experiment in a whole new medium - where light, motion and color bring my characters to life in ways I've never seen before. It opened up a new dimension of vibrancy and storytelling that I'm excited to keep exploring.\" \"LG's OLED TV is the ultimate digital canvas, delivering rich blacks and maximizing depth and realism with precise color expression,\" said Kate Oh, vice president of experiential marketing at LG Electronics. \"We are excited to collaborate with bold artists like Steven Harrington, whose unique style aligns perfectly with LG OLED's mission to inspire art and connect people through innovative digital experiences.\" Visitors to Frieze New York 2025 can experience LG's latest OLED TVs and Harrington's artwork from May 7 to 11 at The Shed. Recognized by artists worldwide as the ultimate digital canvas, LG OLED continues to merge cutting-edge technology with contemporary art through various cultural initiatives. The Frieze New York exhibition marks the first showcase of the SIGNATURE OLED T since its US launch last December. This premium display offers stunning visuals with unparalleled clarity and seamlessly integrates into any environment. Following Frieze, LG will partner with Italian design brand Kartell to display the SIGNATURE OLED T at Kartell's New York flagship store – building on their successful collaboration at CES 2025, where LG's transparent TV was paired with Kartell's iconic transparent furniture. Additionally, LG will work with Ayoung Kim, trailblazing digital artist and the third recipient of the LG Guggenheim Award, for an upcoming exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum.

      • "description": "16th Annual Report Tracks Global Media Trends Across AI, Social Media, Pitching Best Practices, and the Evolving Role of PR CHICAGO, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cision, the global leader in consumer and media intelligence, today released its 16th annual State of the Media Report, an industry-defining study of more than 3,000 journalists across 19 global markets. This year's findings uncover the pressures and possibilities shaping modern journalism—from shifting audience behavior and AI disruption to the continued demand for relevance, accuracy, and real human connection in PR outreach. Cision's 2025 State of the Media Report Reveals a Tipping Point for Trust, Technology, and PR-Journalist Partnerships For over a decade and a half, Cision's State of the Media Report has offered unparalleled insight into the evolving dynamics between journalists and the PR professionals who partner with them. The 2025 report dives deeper than ever before, revealing regional differences across North America, EMEA, and APAC, and surfacing global themes that matter most in media today. \"This year's findings reinforce just how important it is for PR teams to focus on precision, empathy, and adaptability,\" said Jim Daxner, Chief Product Officer and Head of Strategy at Cision. \"The media landscape is evolving rapidly—AI is transforming how content is created, audience behavior is more fragmented than ever, and journalists are navigating immense pressures. Our report gives PR professionals the roadmap to be trusted, valuable collaborators in that environment.\" Key Insights from the 2025 Report: Relevance is Everything: 86% of journalists say they'll immediately reject a pitch that isn't aligned with their beat or audience—underscoring the need for PR teams to do their research and tailor every outreach. Press Releases Still Reign: Despite an evolving media landscape, 72% of journalists still cite press releases as the most useful resource PR teams can offer. When paired with multimedia, impact increases significantly. AI Adoption and Caution: Over half of journalists globally now use generative AI tools like ChatGPT, yet 72% worry about factual errors in AI-generated PR content. Transparency, accuracy, and human oversight remain essential. Relationship-First PR: The majority of journalists (85%) say the best way to build a relationship is simple: introduce yourself via email—even without a story to pitch. Relationships still matter most in media relations. Fragmented Social Media Use: LinkedIn remains the most-used platform globally, while region-specific platforms like WeChat (China), WhatsApp (EMEA), and BlueSky (North America) show the shifting nature of media engagement. A Global Perspective That Drives Smarter PR This year's survey spans insights from 19 countries, reflecting a global industry in transition. From APAC's embrace of AI to North America's continued focus on media trust and credibility, the 2025 report helps PR professionals adapt their strategies to regional realities while aligning with universal best practices. The report also includes tactical guidance on pitching, multimedia preferences, AI use in content creation, and how to build long-term media relationships in a digitally fractured world. Read the full 2025 State of the Media Report. Cision will also host a live webinar featuring media experts and journalists to explore the data in more depth. Registration details will be announced soon. About Cision Cision is the global leader in consumer and media intelligence, engagement, and communication solutions.

      • "content": "LONDON : Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca confirmed his team is at full strength as they go into the second leg of their Conference League semi-final against Djurgarden on Thursday with a commanding advantage from the first game. Chelsea hammered the Swedish side 4-1 last week as goals by Jadon Sancho and Noni Madueke put them 2-0 up at the break followed by a double from Nicholas Jackson. \"We have no new injuries,\" Maresca told a press conference on Wednesday. \"This is good for us. Everyone is fit and (striker) Marc Guiu could be involved in the squad. We are not sure yet, we will make a decision on him, but he is getting closer. The Spanish teenager, who joined last summer from Barcelona and is Chelsea's top scorer in the competition with six goals, missed the last three months with a hamstring problem. \"Maybe it's better for Marc to have a few more days of training, but he is very close to being back with us,\" Maresca added. Chelsea, who had to go through the playoffs to qualify for Europe's third-tier competition, last played in a European final in 2021 when they beat Manchester City 1-0 to lift their second Champions League trophy. They can now become the first team to win all three European competitions if they add the Conference League to their trophy cabinet later this month. \"It's very important for us, for different reasons. But mainly because we want this club winning trophies,\" Maresca said. Asked whether a Conference League success would be enough of a statement to claim the team are back to winning ways, the Italian coach said it would be a good start. \"Winning a trophy is a statement and you (could then) say Chelsea are back,\" Maresca added. \"If we play in the Conference it's because it's where we are. (And) if you play Conference, the only trophy you can win is the Conference. I think it's a good starting point.\"",

      • "content": "NEW DELHI: India and Pakistan exchanged heavy artillery fire along their contested frontier on Wednesday (May 7) after New Delhi launched deadly missile strikes on its arch rival, in the worst violence between the nuclear-armed neighbours in two decades. At least 38 deaths were reported, with Islamabad saying 26 civilians were killed by the Indian strikes and firing along the border, while New Delhi reported 12 dead from Pakistani shelling. India said it had struck nine \"terrorist infrastructure\" sites, some of them linked to an attack by gunmen on Hindu tourists that killed 26 people in Indian Kashmir last month , with New Delhi adding that its actions \"have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature\". The Indian strikes included targets in Punjab, its first attacks on Pakistan's most populous province since the last full-scale war between the old enemies more than half a century ago, triggering fears of further hostilities in one of the world's most dangerous flashpoints. Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif accused Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of launching the strikes to \"shore up\" his domestic popularity, adding that Islamabad \"won't take long to settle the score\". Islamabad pledged to respond \"at a time, place and manner of its choosing to avenge the loss of innocent Pakistani lives and blatant violation of its sovereignty\", while a government security committee rejected Indian allegations of the presence of terrorist camps on its territory. Military spokesman Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry claimed that five Indian jets had been downed across the border, but this was not confirmed by India. Local government sources in Indian Kashmir told Reuters that three fighter jets had crashed in separate areas of the Himalayan region during the night and their pilots had been hospitalised, but Indian defence ministry officials had yet to confirm this. The Indian embassy in Beijing later called reports of fighter jets downed by Pakistan \"disinformation\". In Muzaffarabad, the main city of Pakistan-administered Kashmir, troops cordoned off streets around a mosque Islamabad said was struck, with blast marks visible on the walls of several nearby homes. United Nations military observers arrived on Wednesday afternoon to inspect the site, which was blown out on one side. Pakistan also said a hydropower plant in Kashmir was also targeted by India, damaging a dam structure, after India threatened to stop the flow of water on its side of the border. Islamabad had earlier warned that tampering with the rivers that flow into its territory would be an \"act of war\". The latest violence exceeds India's strikes in 2019, when New Delhi said it had hit \"several militants\" after a suicide bomber attacked an Indian security force convoy, killing 40. India had been widely expected to respond militarily to the Apr 22 attack on tourists in Indian-administered Kashmir by gunmen it said were from Pakistan-based group Lashkar-e-Taiba, a UN-designated terrorist organisation. New Delhi has blamed Islamabad for backing the attack, sparking a series of heated threats and diplomatic tit-for-tat measures, while Pakistan has rejected the accusations amid calls for an independent probe. According to CNA's correspondent in New Delhi , Modi held a full Cabinet meeting on Wednesday afternoon, briefing members on the military operation that was conducted overnight. India's Home Ministry, which is in charge of internal security, has asked paramilitary forces to return from leave and to be on standby. WORLD CALLS FOR CALM Pakistan's National Security Committee, which convened an emergency meeting led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and attended by Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir, called on the international community to hold India \"accountable\". CNA's correspondent in Islamabad reported a key takeaway from the meeting, with Pakistan, under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, having the right to respond. This means it will retaliate in the coming days - a sentiment echoed by the country’s military spokesperson following the missile strikes. Its stance is also that India launched cross-border strikes at civilian areas. World leaders have since issued urgent calls for de-escalation. \"The world cannot afford a military confrontation between India and Pakistan,\" the spokesman for UN chief Antonio Guterres, Stephane Dujarric, said in a statement. US President Donald Trump told reporters in Washington he hoped that the fighting \"ends very quickly\". The US State Department said Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke to the national security advisers of both nations, urging \"both to keep lines of communication open and avoid escalation\". Afghanistan's Taliban government warned India and Pakistan that further escalation was not \"in the interest of the region\". Concern also poured in, including from China - a mutual neighbour of both nations - as well as from Britain, France and Russia, Germany and Turkey, while airlines, including Singapore Airlines and Scoot , have cancelled, diverted or rerouted flights. The South Asian neighbours have fought multiple wars over the divided territory since they were carved out of the sub-continent at the end of British rule in 1947. The two sides have exchanged gunfire nightly since Apr 24 along the Line of Control, according to the Indian army. Rebels in Indian-administered Kashmir have waged an insurgency since 1989, seeking independence or a merger with Pakistan. India regularly blames its neighbour for backing armed groups fighting its forces in Kashmir, a charge that Islamabad denies. On the ground in both countries, many people voiced anger and hostility towards the other. \"Pakistan has been testing our patience. The good thing is India is taking revenge,\" said Kumar Ravi Shankar, a Delhi lawyer. In Pakistan, businessman Umbreen Mahar said: \"No one in today’s world wants to favour war. But if India continues to slander us and then attack, Pakistan has the right to retaliate and defend its sovereignty.\"",

      • "content": "NEW DELHI: India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said Wednesday (May 7) that missile strikes against Pakistan were a \"carefully planned\" operation that exercised New Delhi's \"right to respond\". India's military said the strikes destroyed \"nine terrorist camps\" belonging to those it blames for an attack last month in Indian-administered Kashmir that killed 26 people. The Indian strikes included targets in Punjab, its first attacks on Pakistan's most populous province since the last full-scale war between the old enemies more than half a century ago, triggering fears of further hostilities in one of the world's most dangerous flashpoints. Pakistan said 21 civilians were killed in the strikes, with five more deaths reported in cross-border gunfire that followed. Among the dead were four children, including two three-year-old girls, according to officials in Islamabad. \"The targets we had chosen were destroyed with great precision and sensitivity, ensuring that no civilian population or area was affected,\" Singh told reporters in New Delhi. \"We have shown sensitivity by ensuring that no civilian population was affected in the slightest.\" \"We only targeted terror camps, exercising our right to respond to the attack on our soil.\" India had been widely expected to respond to the Apr 22 assault on tourists in Kashmir, which it blamed on Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba , a UN-designated terrorist organisation. Singh said the operation, in what New Delhi called \"Operation Sindoor\", was aimed solely at \"terror infrastructure\", describing it as a calibrated response that reflected India's restraint and professionalism. \"We can say that it was a display of precision, alertness and humanity\", he said. Sindoor is the Hindi language word for vermilion, a red powder that Hindu women put on the forehead or parting of their hair as a sign of marriage. India had earlier said two of three suspects in the tourist attack were Pakistani nationals, without detailing any evidence. It said the strikes used precision weapons to target \"terrorist camps\" that served as recruitment centres, launchpads and indoctrination centres and housed weapons and training facilities. Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri, the top official in its external affairs ministry, told the briefing that the strikes were to pre-empt further attacks on India. \"Pakistan has been testing our patience. The good thing is India is taking revenge,\" said Kumar Ravi Shankar, a Delhi lawyer. Islamabad rejects backing the Apr 22 attack. Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif earlier accused Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of launching the strikes to \"shore up\" his domestic popularity, but said that Islamabad had struck back. \"The retaliation has already started,\" Asif told AFP. \"We won't take long to settle the score.\"",

      • "content": "SINGAPORE: At least 38 people died as India and Pakistan clashed in Kashmir on Wednesday (May 7). After India launched missile strikes on Pakistan, the two sides exchanged heavy artillery fire along their contested northern border. The worst violence between the nuclear-armed neighbours in two decades came two weeks after New Delhi blamed Islamabad for backing an attack on the Indian-run side of disputed Kashmir that left 26 people dead. Pakistan has rejected the accusation and called for an independent probe into the killings. Here is how Pakistan has responded to the crisis. \"HEINOUS\" Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif labelled India's strikes a \"heinous act of aggression\" that would \"not go unpunished\". The country's National Security Committee (NSC), which convened an emergency meeting led by Sharif and attended by Chief of Army Staff Asim Munir, called on the international community to hold India \"accountable\". \"The NSC calls upon the international community to recognise the gravity of India's unprovoked illegal actions and to hold it accountable for its blatant violations of international norms and laws,\" the committee said in a statement released by its Prime Minister's Office. The committee said that India \"had ignited an inferno in the region\", and that Pakistan would respond to the strikes \"at a time, place and manner of its choosing to avenge the loss of innocent Pakistani lives and blatant violation of its sovereignty\". The committee also emphatically rejected India's allegations that there are terrorist camps on Pakistani territory. \"RETALIATION HAS ALREADY STARTED\" Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif, meanwhile, accused Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of launching the strikes to \"shore up\" his domestic popularity, but said that Islamabad had struck back. \"The retaliation has already started,\" Asif told AFP. \"We won't take long to settle the score.\" Pakistan said that 21 civilians were killed in India's strikes – including four children – while five were killed by gunfire at the border. India said that at least 12 people were killed by Pakistani shelling. Pakistani military spokesman Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said that five Indian jets had been downed across the border, while an Indian senior security source said that three of India's fighter jets had crashed on home territory.",

(HanxBio), a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering next-generation immunotherapies, highlighted its expanding oncology and autoimmune disease pipeline with five research poster presentations at the 2025 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in Chicago (April 25–30). The presentations spotlighted novel bispecific antibodies and a CSF-1R inhibitor, underscoring the company's leadership in innovative cancer treatment strategies. Key Highlights from HanxBio's AACR Presentations 1. HX044: A first-in-class (FIC) CTLA-4xSIRPα is a bispecific antibody fusion protein designed to enhance safety and amplify anti-tumor immunity. HX044 targets PD-1-resistant solid tumors (e.g., non-small cell lung cancer, melanoma, renal cell carcinoma). Currently in Phase I trials, it represents a breakthrough in overcoming resistance to existing immunotherapies. 2. HX035: A preclinical OX40-targeting bispecific antibody engineered to address inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. By binding two distinct OX40 epitopes, HX035 aims to achieve best-in-class (BIC) precision in modulating immune responses. 3. HX016-7 & HX016-9: Two preclinical bispecific antibodies targeting PD-L1xVEGF and PD-1xVEGF, respectively. These dual-target therapies aim to disrupt both tumor immune evasion and blood vessel growth (angiogenesis), offering a novel approach to treating solid tumors. 4. HX301 (Narazaciclib): A CSF-1R inhibitor co-developed with Traws Pharma, Inc., now in Phase II trials for glioblastoma. HX301 is being evaluated in combination with temozolomide (TMZ), a standard chemotherapy, to enhance anti-tumor efficacy. Dr. Henry Li, CEO and CSO of HanxBio, attended and presented posters at the AACR Annual Conference and he emphasized the company's progress: \"Our AACR presentations reflect HanxBio's commitment to redefining cancer and autoimmune disease treatment through cutting-edge bispecific antibody platforms. With HX044 advancing in clinical trials and a robust preclinical pipeline, we are poised to deliver transformative therapies that address critical unmet needs for patients globally.\" He added, \"By targeting multiple pathways simultaneously or by exploring coordinated binding (cis-bindings)—we aim to overcome enhanced activity and safety, thus improving outcomes for hard-to-treat cancers.\" About Hanx Biopharmaceuticals, Ltd. HanxBio is an innovation-driven biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) therapies for cancer and autoimmune diseases.

      • "content": "SANTIAGO :Amazon's cloud computing division will invest $4 billion to build its first data centers and other cloud infrastructure in Chile, the company's head of South Latin America told Reuters. Amazon Web Services (AWS) expects the cloud region, its third in Latin America after Brazil and Mexico, to be operational by the second half of 2026. In an interview in Santiago on Tuesday, local head of AWS Juan Pablo Estevez said all the necessary permits had been given for the project, which would deliver \"substantial\" computing power for services like generative AI. The surge of data centers globally has caused concerns over energy and water use, which have been amplified in Chile as the country has suffered a drought for more than 15 years. Environmental concerns forced Google to rework plans for a $200 million data center in Chile after a local environmental court partially reversed its permit last September. Microsoft expects its cloud-computing Azure center in Chile to come online this year, according to its website. Estevez said Amazon's cloud region would use water to cool its servers just 4 per cent of the year, the equivalent of about eight homes over a 15-year period, with air and evaporation technology used the rest of the time. He added that Amazon has been matching 100 per cent of its energy consumption with renewable power since 2023. The company already has 36 regions and 114 availability zones worldwide used by companies such as Netflix, General Electric and Sony for storage, networking and remote security. Chilean retailer Cencosud, online retail giant MercadoLibre, and mining companies already use the company's other regional services, it said. Amazon's first-quarter cloud revenue and income forecast came in below estimates last Thursday, but Estevez said he's expecting strong growth in Chile and across the region. \"The forecast is that the (Chile's) market will grow 20.3 per cent year over year from now until 2028,\" he said, adding that the market was $1.5 billion last year and estimated to be $1.9 billion in 2025.

      • "content": "BARCELONA :Barcelona's dreams of a Champions League, Copa del Rey and LaLiga treble have vanished after Inter Milan roared back from the brink of elimination to grab a phenomenal 7-6 aggregate win and end the Spaniards' European campaign in the semi-final. Another show of attacking genius by teenager Lamine Yamal and midfielder Pedri had put Hansi Flick's side within touching distance of their first Champions League final in a decade - before they succumbed to the same defensive flaws they have been getting away with for most of the season. Barcelona are an attacking juggernaut with 163 goals in 56 games this season: 43 of those in 14 Champions League games. But they have also been playing with fire at the back, conceding 24 goals in Europe's top-flight competition including four to Benfica, three to Borussia Dortmund and seven to Inter in the semi-final games. Barca's thrilling season has included eight fightback wins in all competitions, including against Atletico Madrid, Benfica, Celta Vigo and a couple against bitter rivals Real Madrid. But defeat in Milan showed they have to add some defensive steel to their swashbuckling attack. After conceding 16 goals in their last seven matches, Barca's young squad has learned a painful lesson against a veteran Inter side chasing a fourth Champions League title and their first in 15 years after losing to Manchester City in the final two years ago. Over both games, Inter scored seven goals in only 10 shots on target - ruthlessly illustrating Barcelona's vulnerability. The Italians withstood a storm thanks to their fantastic goalkeeper Yann Sommer who made 14 saves over both legs of the semi-final. Barca lost Germany keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen early in the season and resorted to veteran Wojciech Szczesny, who came out from retirement but could not make the necessary impact in two close games in Barcelona and Milan. LALIGA NOW THE PRIORITY The five-times European winners cannot spend long licking their wounds: they must quickly turn their attention to LaLiga, where they top the table and on Sunday host rivals Real Madrid, who trail them by four points with four games to go. Unbeaten domestically since late December, Barcelona will try to grab a fourth consecutive victory over Real this season and a second in less than a month after a win in extra time that earned them the Copa del Rey title a few days ago. \"It's very cruel. It's true that the team gave everything and deserved to be in the final, but we're young and we have to learn from this and next year we'll give even more of a fight,\" Pedri told reporters on Tuesday. \"Now we're hurt, but we have to focus on Real Madrid because on Sunday the league is at stake for us.\"",

The trial was conducted in an open-label format and confirmed both the safety and efficacy of CNT201: no dose-limiting toxicities were observed, and clear therapeutic benefits were demonstrated. Key Clinical Results and Future Plans The study was conducted under a U.S. FDA-approved IND, using an open-label design to evaluate safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity. The dose expansion (Phase 2) part is scheduled to begin in Q3 2025 as a double-blind study, aiming to demonstrate statistically significant efficacy. Top-line data for the entire Phase 1/2 trial are expected in the first half of 2026, with plans to initiate global Phase 3 development in 2027. The latest clinical development of CNT201 will be officially presented at the \"International Conference on Dupuytren Disease and Related Diseases\" in Brussels in May 2025. Differentiation Through Innovative Recombinant Collagenase Currently, Endo's Xiaflex is the only commercially available collagenase injection for Dupuytren's contracture. CNT201 is being developed as an alternative to Xiaflex and is expected to significantly improve patient access to non-surgical treatment. Collagenase is originally produced by fermentation of the pathogenic microorganism Clostridium histolyticum, which carries inherent risks of contamination with various toxins. In contrast, CNT201 is the world's first recombinant collagenase therapeutic developed using genetic engineering technology, eliminating the risk of contamination from toxins or animal-derived substances. This ensures superior quality, consistent efficacy, and differentiated safety profiles. Expanding Indications and Accelerating Global Drug Development Connext is also pursuing a Phase 2 IND for Peyronie's disease, based on the same mechanism of action, and aims to obtain U.S. FDA IND clearance in 2025. Additional development for aesthetic indications such as cellulite is also underway. Statement from Woo Jong Lee, CEO of Connext \"By confirming both safety and efficacy in the dose escalation part of Phase 1/2 study, CNT201 offers a new non-surgical treatment option for patients with Dupuytren's contracture. We aim to complete global new drug development with Phase 3 entry in 2027 and demonstrate the unique advantages of our innovative recombinant therapeutic,\" said Woo Jong Lee, CEO of Connext.

      • "description": "STREAM Series lets more people than ever enjoy solar power's benefits of lower utility bills and home backup energy with an easy DIY setup SEATTLE, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- EcoFlow, a leading portable power and eco-friendly energy solutions company, today introduces STREAM Series, the first plug-and-play home solar system available in the U.S. with a battery that can power your home. Designed for homes with backyards, multifamily apartments and condos, STREAM Series can help cut electricity bills by harnessing solar energy for daily use. The system can be purchased with or without a battery. The battery version, STREAM Ultra, helps maximize energy savings and can provide critical backup power during a blackout. STREAM will be available in Utah at launch, with plans to roll out this new product category in other states in the future. Utah's rising electricity rates, strong solar potential and growing percentage of multi-family dwellings make STREAM Series a great option for residents seeking a plug-and-play, DIY solar solution with no installation, no complex setup and no utility approval needed. \"By launching Stream Series in Utah, we're taking the first step in making renewable energy simple and accessible for people in the U.S. who have not been able to enjoy the benefits of residential solar,\" said Brian Essenmacher, head of North American business development at EcoFlow. \"We've successfully launched this solution across Europe over the past two years with more than 120,000 units sold,\" Essenmahcer said. \"We're now applying our global experience to bring flexible solar options to Americans beyond just single family homes. Plug-and-play home solar systems allow people to save on electric bills while avoiding the high costs, permitting and months-long installation timelines of traditional systems.\" How Does STREAM Series Work? The EcoFlow STREAM series includes two key products: STREAM Ultra and STREAM Microinverter. The STREAM Ultra is a 1.92kWh solar battery with a built-in grid-tied microinverter — the first of its kind in the industry. The Microinverter converts solar energy directly into grid-ready electricity without energy storage capability. The STREAM Ultra battery maximizes energy savings by storing excess solar power collected during daylight hours and making it available for regular use later or in the event of a power outage. STREAM Ultra can also collect 2000W of solar input, with 1,200W being directly fed into your home via the built-in microinverter, while any excess energy is stored in the battery. For homes without energy storage needs, the optional standalone STREAM Microinverter converts solar energy directly into the home via a standard AC wall outlet up to 1,200W output. This energy is instantly available for use, helping to lower reliance on the grid and reduce utility bills. This flexible system allows residents to position solar panels on balconies, patios, backyards and other outdoor spaces and harness their power in three configurations: STREAM Ultra: Up to 2,000W of total solar input with up to 1,200W of it going directly to the home and the remainder for battery charging. STREAM Microinverter: Up to 1,200W of solar power going directly to the home. STREAM Ultra + STREAM Microinverter: Up to 3,200W of total solar input with up to 1,200W going directly to the home and up to 2,000W for battery charging. Ultimate Electricity Cost Savings & Expandability With one EcoFlow STREAM Ultra and one Microinverter, this plug-and-play setup can provide more than 6,000kWh of electricity per year, supplying approximately half of the average U.S. household's needs and cutting bills by as much as $1,027 annually [note]. When multiple Ultra batteries are connected, the modular setup can expand from 1.92kWh to 11.52kWh and allows flexible battery placement. Powered by an AI-driven solar network, multiple batteries can work in sync — no matter where they're located — to extend runtime, minimize grid reliance and eliminate solar waste. With its plug-and-play setup and intelligent energy flow management, households move closer to energy independence and zero electricity bills. Smart Design. Smarter Energy Management Built for long-lasting performance and everyday ease, STREAM Series features a clean, compact design that integrates seamlessly into modern homes. STREAM Ultra's durable LFP battery retains 70% capacity even after 6,000 cycles and operates reliably in extreme temperatures down to -14°F. With a NEMA 4 rating for the Ultra battery and NEMA 6 for the Microinverter, the system is built to handle both indoor and outdoor conditions. Built-in safety mechanisms continuously monitor energy loads in real time, automatically adjusting power to stay within the 1200W limit and prevent tripping household circuits. The STREAM Series is compatible with EcoFlow OASIS, an AI-powered energy management platform available through the EcoFlow app, designed to maximize home energy storage, prepare for weather-related power outages and reduce electric bills.

      • "content": "The global order that once defined prosperity and progress, anchored in Western institutions and values largely shaped by the United States, is unravelling. That is, the unipolar era in which America set the rules for the rest of the world is ending. In its place, a new constellation of powers is emerging, with Asia at the forefront. Yet amidst this shift in economic and political gravity, the frameworks guiding “sustainable development” remain firmly rooted in the old order’s worldview. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ESG standards and climate finance mechanisms still reflect assumptions born from the Global North—technocratic, metric-heavy and often detached from the lived realities of the Global South. This is the paradox of our time: Asia is rising, but the paradigms are not changing. Across the region, governments and corporations are racing to align with global sustainability norms. Green bonds are being issued, ESG scores reported and SDG targets integrated into national plans. On paper, Asia looks like a model pupil. But dig deeper and a troubling pattern emerges: sustainability has become a performance, more about signaling alignment than pursuing actual transformation. Many countries approach SDGs and ESG as compliance checklists, not as contextual pathways of change. The result is a wave of ESG-washing, carbon colonialism disguised as “energy transition” and a proliferation of projects that bear the sustainability label but fail to address inequality, ecological degradation or the erosion of local cultures. This is not a failure of ambition. It is a failure of imagination. Sustainability frameworks today still carry the DNA of Bretton Woods logic—growth-centered, finance-driven and governed by institutions where the Global South has little real voice. Even well-intentioned instruments like climate finance often come with rules that reflect the risk appetites of Western investors, not the priorities of frontline communities. Asia’s diversity—its civilizational wisdoms, ecological traditions, and collective ways of living—is rarely acknowledged as a source of sustainability. Instead, the region is cast as a testing ground for external models: carbon trading, green taxonomy and blended finance. These tools may have value, but when imposed without adaptation, they risk becoming the new tools of dependency rather than emancipation. If Asia continues down this path, it may succeed in appearing sustainable while failing to build systems that are resilient, just and rooted in local meaning. To break free, Asia needs to reclaim its narrative and redefine what sustainability means—on its own terms. This is not about rejecting the global agenda, but rather reimagining it from the inside out. That is, sustainability must move beyond carbon metrics and GDP growth painted green. In many Asian cultures, the idea of balance—between humans and nature, individual and community, material and spiritual—has long existed. These are not romanticized relics; they are living philosophies that can inform a richer, more grounded model of development. Global frameworks love numbers. But not everything that matters can be measured. ESG scores and SDG dashboards cannot capture the strength of a community, the resilience of local economies or the dignity of indigenous governance systems. Asia must define success by its own indicators—ones that reflect life, not just compliance. Transforming sustainability from a borrowed framework into an endogenous movement also requires courageous institutions. Governments, universities, civil society and businesses must take risks: to pilot alternative models, to question imported standards and to assert the legitimacy of home-grown innovations. The question is no longer whether Asia can meet global standards of sustainability. The real question is whether the world is ready to meet Asia’s. In a fractured world, Asia does not need to become a hegemon. It does not need to “win” the sustainability race. Indeed, what it can offer is far more powerful: a new compass, one that centers dignity, relationality and regeneration rather than control, extraction and cosmetic green branding. Already, seeds of this paradigm exist. From the adat forests of Indonesia to the eco-spiritualism of Bhutan, from cooperative farming in Vietnam to localized disaster governance in the Philippines, Asia is not a blank slate. It is a wellspring of living alternatives hidden in plain sight. The challenge is not the absence of models – it is the lack of recognition. The post-hegemonic world will be defined not just by shifts in power, but by shifts in meaning. And in this search for new foundations, sustainability cannot remain a managerial tool of global finance: it must become a civilizational question. Who defines what is worth sustaining? Whose knowledge counts? Whose future are we protecting? If these questions remain unanswered—or worse, answered only by those at Davos or on Wall Street—then even the greenest of futures may be built on the same old exclusions. But if Asia dares to speak from its roots, not just its rise, it could offer what the world sorely lacks: a sustainability that is not a slogan, but a soul.",

      • "content": "LONDON :The growth of AI will increase the number and sophistication of cyberattacks on Britain, senior minister Pat McFadden said on Wednesday. British companies, public bodies and institutions have been hit by a wave of cyberattacks in the past few years, costing them tens of millions of pounds and often months of disruption. Over the last three weeks British retailers Marks & Spencer, the Co-op Group and Harrods have all been hit by attacks, with M&S still unable to take online clothing orders. The companies have not given any details on the nature of the attacks. \"Today we are declassifying an intelligence assessment that shows AI is going to increase not only the frequency but the intensity of cyberattacks in the coming years,\" said McFadden, who as cabinet office minister is responsible for UK cyber security. \"Our security systems will only remain secure if they keep pace with what our adversaries are doing,\" he said. Speaking at the National Cyber Security Centre's CyberUK 2025 conference, he said that last year the NCSC received almost 2,000 reports of cyberattacks, with almost 90 deemed \"significant\" and 12 at \"the very top end of severity\". This was three times the number of severe attacks compared to the year before. McFadden said the recent cyberattacks on British retailers should serve as a wake-up call for everyone, including government and the public sector, businesses and organisations. \"Cyber security isn't a luxury, it's an absolute necessity.\" He said the government will later this year publish a new cyber security strategy, while new legislation, the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, will grant government new powers to direct regulated organisations to reinforce their cyber defences. M&S and the Co-op are widely reported to have been the victims of ransomware attacks where criminals infiltrate companies' computer systems, encrypt them and demand payment before allowing them to resume control. NCSC CEO Richard Horne told the conference he wanted to see a future where paying ransoms is no longer considered an option, where the business model for the attackers no longer works.",

      • "description": "MUNICH, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At Intersolar Europe 2025, Huawei Digital Power hosted the FusionSolar Strategy & New Product Launch under the theme \"Smart PV & ESS: Powering a Grid Forming Future.\" Welcoming around 300 global customers and partners, this launch highlighted all-scenario grid forming and high-quality development, introducing next-generation grid forming ESS products and solutions for utility, microgrid, C&I, and residential applications. The launch propelled the renewable energy industry into the grid-forming era. Steven Zhou, President of Smart PV & ESS Product Line, Huawei Digital Power, announced the strategic goal of integrating \"4T\" technologies (bit, watt, heat, and battery) to build the energy infrastructure for new power systems. He also unveiled three key value propositions: all-scenario grid forming, cell-to-grid safety, and \"one matches all,\" accelerating the development of new power systems powered entirely by renewable energy. All-scenario grid forming: Grid forming technology is applied to power generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption to ensure the long-term stability of new power systems. Cell-to-grid safety: Safety measures are implemented for each phase to ensure the safety of equipment, personnel, and assets. One matches all: The hardware supports flexible scalability and smooth C-rate evolution. The AI-powered PV+ESS collaborative management platform can adapt to various business models to implement energy yield prediction and automatic optimization of operation policies. Huawei FusionSolar strives to deliver high-quality solutions and foster an open ecosystem. It provides more competitive solutions for customers and brings more development opportunities to partners, driving the high-quality development of the industry. Steve Zheng, President of Smart ESS Business, Huawei Digital Power, released the next-generation all-scenario Smart String Grid Forming ESS Platform, which includes the new utility and C&I Smart String Grid Forming ESS. Designed to address challenges in renewables grid integration and ESS safety, Huawei's Smart String Grid Forming ESS Platform offers all-scenario grid forming, cell-to-grid safety, full-lifecycle cost-effectiveness, and full-link digitalization. The platform defines the golden standard of grid-forming capabilities: Grid forming ESS can adapt to any BESS SOC status, any grid SCR, and at any time, while supporting system evolution to enhance future power grids. The solution has already been applied to the 1.3 GWh ESS and 400 MW PV project in The Red Sea destination in the Middle East. This project is the world's largest PV+ESS microgrid, powering the city with 100% renewable energy. The microgrid has been running stably for more than 18 months, during which time it has provided more than 1 billion kWh of green electricity. The 30 MW PV and 6 MW/24 MWh ESS project in Ngari prefecture of China, uses Huawei's Smart PV+ESS Solution. The fully grid-forming power plant is located at a high altitude (about 4,600 m) with extremely low temperatures and weak grid conditions. Its PV power output can be increased from 1.5 MW to 12 MW, increasing PV integration by 75%. According to the plant's statistics, the ESS provides grid support more than 30 times within 10 days. Huawei's Smart String Grid Forming ESS gleans more value from energy storage through power electronics technology, as well as ensuring grid safety and stability through digital intelligence. It opens a new chapter of grid forming renewable energy worldwide. In addition, Huawei Digital Power redefines ESS safety with six cell-to-grid safety designs to upgrade the safety protection from the conventional container-level to the more refined pack-level, ensuring safer protection for the ESS. Combined with multi-dimensional, full-link, and intelligent diagnosis of the battery management system (BMS), the system's proactive safety capability is greatly improved, safeguarding the healthy development of the energy storage industry. SUN POWER, President of Residential PV & ESS Business, Huawei Digital Power, released the new Home Energy Management Solution 6.0 that covers green power generation and intelligent energy consumption, leading the way in home energy management. This solution includes a full range of new products, such as the residential ESS LUNA S1-7kWh. The ESS has an industry-leading 15-year warranty, over 40% more usable energy than the industry average, and on-demand capacity expansion up to 252 kWh. It can also adapt to a wide range of residential and small-sized C&I scenarios. Huawei's residential PV+ESS solution, thanks to its strong technical capabilities, has become the choice for 3.9 million households and 30,000 installers worldwide.

      • "content": "MUNICH , May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At Intersolar Europe 2025, Huawei Digital Power hosted the FusionSolar Strategy & New Product Launch under the theme \"Smart PV & ESS: Powering a Grid Forming Future.\" Welcoming around 300 global customers and partners, this launch highlighted all-scenario grid forming and high-quality development, introducing next-generation grid forming ESS products and solutions for utility, microgrid, C&I, and residential applications. The launch propelled the renewable energy industry into the grid-forming era. Steven Zhou, President of Smart PV & ESS Product Line, Huawei Digital Power, announced the strategic goal of integrating \"4T\" technologies (bit, watt, heat, and battery) to build the energy infrastructure for new power systems. He also unveiled three key value propositions : all-scenario grid forming, cell-to-grid safety, and \"one matches all,\" accelerating the development of new power systems powered entirely by renewable energy. Huawei FusionSolar strives to deliver high-quality solutions and foster an open ecosystem. It provides more competitive solutions for customers and brings more development opportunities to partners, driving the high-quality development of the industry. Steve Zheng, President of Smart ESS Business, Huawei Digital Power, released the next-generation all-scenario Smart String Grid Forming ESS Platform, which includes the new utility and C&I Smart String Grid Forming ESS. Designed to address challenges in renewables grid integration and ESS safety, Huawei's Smart String Grid Forming ESS Platform offers all-scenario grid forming, cell-to-grid safety, full-lifecycle cost-effectiveness, and full-link digitalization . The platform defines the golden standard of grid-forming capabilities: Grid forming ESS can adapt to any BESS SOC status, any grid SCR, and at any time, while supporting system evolution to enhance future power grids. The solution has already been applied to the 1.3 GWh ESS and 400 MW PV project in The Red Sea destination in the Middle East. This project is the world's largest PV+ESS microgrid, powering the city with 100% renewable energy. The microgrid has been running stably for more than 18 months, during which time it has provided more than 1 billion kWh of green electricity. The 30 MW PV and 6 MW/24 MWh ESS project in Ngari prefecture of China, uses Huawei's Smart PV+ESS Solution. The fully grid-forming power plant is located at a high altitude (about 4,600 m) with extremely low temperatures and weak grid conditions. Its PV power output can be increased from 1.5 MW to 12 MW, increasing PV integration by 75% . According to the plant's statistics, the ESS provides grid support more than 30 times within 10 days . Huawei's Smart String Grid Forming ESS gleans more value from energy storage through power electronics technology, as well as ensuring grid safety and stability through digital intelligence. It opens a new chapter of grid forming renewable energy worldwide. In addition, Huawei Digital Power redefines ESS safety with six cell-to-grid safety designs to upgrade the safety protection from the conventional container-level to the more refined pack-level, ensuring safer protection for the ESS. Combined with multi-dimensional, full-link, and intelligent diagnosis of the battery management system (BMS), the system's proactive safety capability is greatly improved, safeguarding the healthy development of the energy storage industry. SUN POWER, President of Residential PV & ESS Business, Huawei Digital Power, released the new Home Energy Management Solution 6.0 that covers green power generation and intelligent energy consumption, leading the way in home energy management. This solution includes a full range of new products, such as the residential ESS LUNA S1-7kWh. The ESS has an industry-leading 15-year warranty, over 40% more usable energy than the industry average, and on-demand capacity expansion up to 252 kWh. It can also adapt to a wide range of residential and small-sized C&I scenarios. Huawei's residential PV+ESS solution, thanks to its strong technical capabilities, has become the choice for 3.9 million households and 30,000 installers worldwide. From a zero-carbon house in Italy to a PV town in Sweden, this solution is optimal for home energy independence and community energy sharing. Huawei FusionSolar is committed to the strategic goal of reshaping the all-scenario grid forming standards. Huawei provides global customers and partners with fully grid-forming and high-quality smart PV+ESS solutions that go beyond expectations, accelerating the global energy transition and construction of new power systems.",

      • "description": "Are the nuclear-armed neighbours on the cusp of a full-fledged war?",
      • "content": "SINGAPORE: India on Wednesday (May 7) launched missile strikes at nine sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir . At least 38 fatalities have been reported. Tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours have been escalating since an attack on tourists in India-administered Pahalgam in Kashmir last month, which left 26 dead. India's defence ministry said Wednesday's operation showed the country's resolve to hold perpetrators accountable while avoiding unnecessary provocation. In response, Pakistan's defence minister said the retaliation had \"already started\" and vowed to \"settle the score\" . What's the history between India and Pakistan? Since gaining independence from the British in 1947, Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan have fought over the Kashmir region, with both sides claiming it in full. Their first war was in 1947 and a second happened in 1965. At least three other wars and several armed skirmishes have erupted in the decades since. The India- and Pakistan-administered parts of Kashmir are currently split by a Line of Control, which serves as a de facto border. India governs the Kashmir Valley, Jammu and Ladakh, while Pakistan controls Azad Kashmir, Gilgit and Baltistan. Are they on the brink of another war? Since last month's attacks, the two nations have already traded diplomatic blows: India suspended the Indus Water Treaty - a decades-old agreement to divide the water in the Indus river - and closed its mainland border crossing with Pakistan. Pakistan, meanwhile, has threatened to pull out from the Simla Agreement, a peace treaty signed in 1972 which established the Line of Control and is aimed at normalising ties. The neighbours have also cancelled visas for each other's citizens and closed off access to airspace. With the latest escalation, expert opinion is split on the prospect of South Asia's longest-running conflict spiraling into another all-out war. Writing in The Conversation, international relations professor Ian Hall from Australia's Griffith University said it was clear both sides are closer to a major conflict than they've been in years. \"The hope would be there’s limited military action, lasting a few days, and then things calm down rapidly, as they have in the past. But there are no guarantees,\" he said. Associate Professor Iqbal Singh Sevea from the National University of Singapore (NUS) said there were no signs of an impending war - yet. Both countries are wary of being pulled into full-scale hostilities, he said, noting that India had consciously framed its strikes as \"focused, measured and non-escalatory\" actions solely targeting \"terrorist infrastructure\" . \"This reflects its aims of framing the strikes as attacks on terrorists based in Pakistan, and not an act of war.\" On its part, Pakistan is anxious about a military escalation. It will still likely respond to India's strikes with military action - but calibrated in a manner that does not escalate tensions beyond a point, added Assoc Prof Sevea, who is the director of the university's Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS). How has the global community reacted? Leaders across the world have expressed concern. United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the world \"cannot afford\" a military confrontation between the two countries. United States President Donald Trump called the crisis a \"shame\". In Asia, the Chinese foreign ministry said in a statement that India's operation was \"regrettable\", and called on both countries to refrain from taking actions that might further complicate the situation. Japan's chief cabinet secretary was concerned about the potential escalation into a full-scale military conflict, and similarly urged the two nations to \"exercise restraint\" and stabilise the situation through dialogue. What's the impact on Southeast Asia? One immediate implication of extended hostilities would be import: India's economy is increasingly linked with Southeast Asia, with many states in the region investing in New Delhi, said Assoc Prof Sevea. Several Southeast Asian countries are also reliant on food imports from India and Pakistan, including staples such as rice. Malaysia imports about 40 per cent of its rice from the two nations, while Indonesia relies on imports from India to meet its shortfall in rice production. For countries like Singapore which support multilateral institutions and frameworks, conflict between India and Pakistan will only introduce even more uncertainty to a global order already in flux, Assoc Prof Sevea noted. Is there a path to de-escalation and long-term peace? Researcher Iftekharul Basha from the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies think-tank wrote in a commentary after the April attack in Pahalgam that India needs to take steps to ensure social cohesion and co-existence; and respect diversity. \"Alienating Indian Muslims will only pave the way for extremists to exploit the situation,\" he said. Pakistan, too, has a responsibility to take credible measures to ensure regional peace and security by thoroughly investigating and clamping down on terrorist groups operating within its borders, Mr Basha added. He also cited the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) - an economic and political organisation of countries in the region - and how treaties under it such as the Suppression of Terrorism Convention have been \"underutilised\" due to a lack of enforcement and political will. The association could have stepped in to reduce tensions following the April attack, but political rivalry had hindered its effectiveness. Mr Basha said the SAARC could consider learning from other regions like Southeast Asia and its ASEAN bloc. Gestures from the wider international community, meanwhile, may only offer temporary relief, said former Pakistan national security adviser Moeed W Yusuf in an analysis for the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs in Harvard University. The international community’s interest has been restricted to crisis management rather than crisis prevention, which requires more sustained effort to nudge both sides to normalise their ties, he wrote. Mr Yusuf said dialogue between the two nations was the \"only sensible way forward\", citing examples of previous instances when India and Pakistan had made progress in their relationship after serious conversations. \"The international community should find ways to facilitate India and Pakistan’s return to the negotiation table – with the intent to address all their outstanding issues in a mutually acceptable and sustainable manner,\" he said. \"The risks of heightened tensions in nuclear South Asia are too high for the world to allow this to happen.\"",

      • "description": "JAKARTA, Indonesia, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bosowa Energy Group has announced a strategic partnership with BK LNG Solution (BKLS), marking a significant milestone in its long-term vision to modernize Indonesia's energy infrastructure and accelerate the shift toward cleaner energy alternatives. The partnership was formalized through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in Jakarta, launching a comprehensive collaboration across the liquefied natural gas (LNG) and broader energy infrastructure sectors. Indonesia’s Bosowa Energy Group and BK LNG Solution officially signed a strategic cooperation MOU in Jakarta Under the MOU, the two parties will cooperate closely in multiple areas, including LNG supply chain integration, development of floating storage units (FSUs), natural gas power generation, downstream energy applications, and small-scale LNG distribution via ISO tank containers. During the signing ceremony, representatives from both sides engaged in in-depth discussions on the strategic roadmap and future direction of cooperation. Indonesia’s Bosowa Energy Group and BK LNG Solution officially signed a strategic cooperation MOU in Jakarta Muhammad Akram, Chief Operating Officer of Bosowa Energy Group, described the partnership as a transformative step in advancing the nation's energy transition agenda:\"This collaboration not only enables us to diversify our energy portfolio with scalable LNG solutions, but also directly supports our mission to reduce emissions, enhance energy reliability in underserved regions, and contribute meaningfully to Indonesia's broader decarbonization goals.\" Junizwan, CEO of Bosowa Energasindo, emphasized the strategic value of the collaboration:\"This collaboration with BK LNG Solution represents a key milestone for Bosowa Energasindo as we strengthen our commitment to Indonesia's energy transformation. By combining our domestic operational capabilities with BKLS's international LNG expertise, we are building a foundation for a more agile, efficient, and sustainable energy future.\" Henry Kim, President of BKLS, highlighted the company's commitment to supporting Indonesia's clean energy transition:\"As a specialist in flexible LNG solutions with extensive experience across the region, we are confident in our ability to deliver reliable and efficient natural gas solutions tailored to Indonesia's unique needs, which we believe are essential for a resilient energy transition. This partnership not only initiates resource synergy but also demonstrates our shared commitment to Indonesia's clean energy goals.\" A key component of the partnership involves converting existing diesel-fired power plants (PLTD) on remote islands into cleaner, gas-fired power plants (PLTG) using LNG. This initiative is expected to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving energy stability in underserved regions. The partnership will also focus on the deployment of modular LNG regasification units and the development of localized micro-grid systems. These technologies are expected to play a critical role in enabling isolated areas across Indonesia to transition from diesel to natural gas—aligning with the nation's vision for equitable and sustainable energy access. Initial pilot projects are scheduled to launch in Eastern Indonesia later this year, with plans to expand operations nationwide in the coming years. This partnership not only aligns with Indonesia's national energy transition roadmap but also establishes a solid foundation for BKLS to deepen its regional presence and expand its global footprint. By joining forces, Bosowa and BKLS aim to accelerate project execution and contribute to sustainable energy development across Indonesia and the wider Southeast Asian region.",
