      • "content": "MANILA: Voting was underway in the Philippines on Monday (May 12) for a normally low-key midterm election that is showcasing an emotionally charged proxy battle between President Ferdinand Marcos Jr and ally-turned-foe, Vice President Sara Duterte. Duterte and Marcos are not on the ballot for more than 18,000 positions but have been campaigning aggressively for their slates of candidates, as their bitter rivalry dominates a contest that could influence the future dynamic of power in the country of 110 million people. At stake for Marcos is his policy agenda, his legacy and influence over his succession in 2028, while Duterte's political survival could ride on the vote, with an impeachment trial looming that could kill any future hopes of becoming president and following in the footsteps of her father Rodrigo Duterte. While posts for mayors, governors and lower house lawmakers are up for grabs, the tussle for Marcos and Duterte is over a dozen coveted seats in the 24-member Senate, a chamber with sweeping legislative influence and political clout that can shape public opinion and sink presidential ambitions. Both Marcos and Duterte cast their votes early on Monday in their hometowns. Duterte told reporters she had recently spoken with her father, who is detained in The Hague and facing trial at the International Criminal Court over his \"war on drugs\". She said she told him that more than two of his 10 endorsed Senate candidates were likely to win. Among the 10 is the former police chief who oversaw the drugs war, during which thousands were killed. \"This election is more than an informal referendum on the Marcos administration,\" said Aries Arugay, a political science professor at the University of the Philippines. \"The Senate race is the key proxy battle ... Marcos needs to retain a majority, or supermajority, to push forward his legislative and economic agenda.\" Local media reported that voting, which runs from 5am to 7pm, was generally proceeding as expected, aside from some delays caused by glitches in the vote-counting machines. ACRIMONIOUS FEUD The election has a new significance after the collapse of the once formidable alliance between the Marcos and Duterte dynasties and the dramatic fall from grace of the popular Duterte family, which has accused the president of orchestrating a campaign to destroy the biggest challengers to his power. What began as a united front that swept the 2022 election unravelled into an acrimonious feud, marked by a torrent of personal accusations and a bid to impeach Duterte on allegations she misused funds, amassed unexplained wealth and threatened the lives of the president, first lady and the house speaker. The Senate race is critical, with its members to become jurors if an impeachment trial goes ahead, where Duterte faces removal from office and a lifetime ban. At least 16 votes - a two-thirds majority - are needed to convict her. \"Whatever happens with the impeachment, whether a guilty (verdict) or acquittal, I'm ready for whatever happens,\" Duterte said after casting her vote. Fuelling the flames of an already charged race was Rodrigo Duterte's arrest by Philippine police in March at the request of the ICC. Sara Duterte has accused Marcos of selling out sovereignty in giving up a former president to a foreign court. Despite his detention, Duterte is on Monday's ballot for mayor in his hometown. Both Dutertes have denied wrongdoing and have challenged the cases against them. Marcos has distanced himself from the impeachment and rejects allegations of a vendetta against the Duterte family. He has touted economic gains and his defence of sovereignty, campaigning on his tough stand against Beijing's conduct in the South China Sea, with China emerging as a political lightning rod in the election.",

      • "content": "TOKYO :Japanese technology investor SoftBank Group is expected to book a quarterly net loss of 26.9 billion yen ($184.4 million) on Tuesday as early-stage tech startups fell out of favour and losses widened at major portfolio firms. The forecast downgrades are seen by analysts as being partially offset by a stronger yen and the continued rise in the share price of SoftBank's telecommunications holdings, such as T-Mobile, which finished the quarter up more than 20 per cent, close to a record high. The net loss for the January-March quarter is based on the average of five analyst estimates compiled by LSEG and compares to net income of 231 billion yen over the same period the previous year. The share price of portfolio companies such as Swiggy and Ola Electric each fell around 40 per cent over the period. Losses at each have ballooned since their listings last year in the face of intense competition in the quick commerce and electric vehicle sectors. Nomura Securities analyst Daisaku Masuno forecast a collective loss of around $900 million for listed companies held in SoftBank's Vision Fund investment vehicles over the quarter. New venture capital investment concentrated in large established players over the quarter, while investment in earlier stage firms - such as those in the Vision Fund 2 - fell to the lowest level in five quarters, Crunchbase data showed. SoftBank played a part in this, making its largest spending announcements in years, including in ChatGPT maker OpenAI, in which it committed to investing between $20 billion and $30 billion. In March SoftBank also announced its purchase of chip startup Ampere Computing for $6.5 billion. But analysts doubt how much these planned investments in artificial intelligence will benefit its bottom line as these projects are yet to demonstrate tangible successes and competition is fierce. \"SoftBank has paid a steep price for ChatGPT perhaps without fully understanding how these increasing number of AI chatbots can coexist and make money,\" said Amir Anvarzadeh, Japan equity strategist at Asymmetric Investors. Alongside, recent market uncertainty has thrown the initial public offering market into retreat, which may further weigh on valuations in SoftBank's portfolio of unlisted companies. Since the beginning of April SoftBank holdings Klarna - a Swedish fintech firm - and Oyo - an Indian hotel chain - both delayed their listings following the announcement of tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump. However payments firm Paypay is currently preparing for an IPO, a subsidiary of SoftBank announced at its earnings results last week. ($1 = 145.8500 yen)",

      • "content": "saw India lose multiple combat aircraft, including prized French-made Rafale fighters, a Russian-made Su-30 MKI and MiG-29, and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)—an outcome that, if true, would challenge assumptions about India’s airpower superiority over Pakistan. The skirmishes may also have showcased the effectiveness of China’s fighter and missile technology over its Western and Russian counterparts, though the human element on each side obviously played a role in the outcomes. At the tactical level, Pakistan’s edge in missile and fighter aircraft may have been its decisive factor over India. Chief among these was the Chinese-made PL-15E beyond visual range (BVR) missile, whose , marking its combat debut. According to a by Justin Bronk of the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), the Chinese PL-15 beyond-visual-range (BVR) missile is comparable performance-wise to the US AIM-120 AMRAAM and surpasses the Russian R-77. Bronk states that the PL-15 is equipped with a small active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and a dual-pulse solid rocket motor. He estimates the PL-15’s range to be 200 kilometers, though a September 2021 South China Morning Post (SCMP) states the export version (PL-15E) is capped at 145 kilometers. Further, Douglas Barrie of the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) notes in a September 2022 that the PL-15’s solid-propellant propulsion achieves faster burnout speeds than the Meteor missile used aboard India’s Rafales. However, he acknowledges that the Meteor’s ramjet sustainer provides sustained thrust throughout its flight, enhancing mid-course endurance. The capabilities of its launch platform amplify the missile’s advantage. As for the Chinese-made J-10C fighter’s capability, Bronk notes the variant has an actively electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, a modern infrared search and track (IRST) system, electronic support measures (ESM), radar warning receiver (RWR), missile approach warning suite (MAWS) and datalinks, giving it a better chance of competing with modern opponents in terms of situational awareness. Bronk says the J-10C can compete with non-fifth-generation aerial opposition, presenting a smaller radar, visual and infrared (IR) signature than Russia’s Su-27 variants, while being competitive with Western single-engine fighters such as the F-16 and Gripen. He notes that with AESA radar, long-range PL-15 missiles, a modern cockpit and helmet-mounted display, the J-10C and future variants may become the leading near-peer aerial pacing threat for Western states in the 2020s. While the J-10C surges forward in capability, its Western rivals may be showing signs of age. A January 2025 by the French Institute of International Relations (IFRI) identifies the Rafale’s lack of radar stealth and dedicated suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD) capabilities as significant shortcomings. It cites senior French Air Force officers who describe combat missions against stealth fighters during joint exercises as “very difficult to win” with the Rafale’s current sensor suite. The report warns that while the Rafale remains viable in the short to medium term, its limitations could relegate it to a supporting role in high-intensity coalition operations dominated by fifth-generation aircraft. Further, Rajorshi Roy mentions in an April 2023 in the peer-reviewed MGIMO Review of International Relations journal that India’s Su-30 MKI fleet has a low readiness rating of just 60% at the time of his writing, partly because of issues surrounding the availability of Russian spare parts for the aircraft type. At the operational level, Pakistan’s fleet of airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft may have played a decisive role in shooting down Indian fighters. According to Sebastien Roblin in a 1945 article this , Pakistan’s Erieye-equipped Saab 2000 airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft are capable of detecting and tracking hostile aircraft at ranges of up to 450 kilometers, including those flying at low altitudes to evade radar. Roblin notes that these platforms can coordinate with friendly fighters operating with their radars turned off, enhancing stealth and survivability. He adds that the Chinese PL-15 missile, reportedly used by Pakistan in recent skirmishes, is designed to receive mid-course guidance via datalink from AEW&C platforms such as the Saab 2000, allowing it to home in on targets without the launching fighter needing to illuminate them. Roblin explains that this networked approach denies targeted aircraft early warning until the missile activates its onboard AESA seeker for terminal guidance. In contrast to Pakistan, Swaim Singh mentions in an August 2022 Center for Air Power Studies (CAPS) that India is lagging in AEW&C capability to monitor its vast airspace, having only three A-50EI units and the same number of domestically developed Netra Mk 1 planes. These operational deficiencies also feed into the broader strategic picture, where Pakistan’s aerial victories over India could be China’s strongest sales pitch yet for its fighter aircraft. While the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) that China was the 4 largest arms seller in 2024, it struggles to sell its fighter aircraft to other countries, with its customers limited to states such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Zambia, Sudan and North Korea. However, Pakistan’s performance in the recent skirmishes with India could supercharge China’s fighter sales pitch in the Middle East, with countries such as Egypt, Iran and Saudi Arabia being potential buyers, notes Paul Iddon in an for Forbes. Such sales could enable China’s “fighter diplomacy” push, with fighter aircraft’s extensive technical, maintenance and training requirements fostering deeper strategic ties between China and its clients, while also acting as a lever of influence for Beijing. India and Pakistan may have learned the strategic lessons of the 2019 Balakot airstrikes, guiding their responses in their latest clash over Kashmir. Muhammad Faisal and Huma Rehman mention in a February 2024 for South Asian Voices (SAV) that Pakistan’s threshold of risk-acceptance has increased after the Balakot airstrikes, making the use of military force an acceptable response. Faisal and Rehman add that not responding to violations of territorial sovereignty is not an option for the Pakistani government and military, and that clear diplomatic communication during a conventional, non-nuclear crisis and after similar retaliatory strikes is key to de-escalation. From India’s perspective, Deependra Hooda mentions in a February 2022 Stimson Center that the Balakot airstrikes dispelled the notion that the use of airpower is escalatory, noting that the strikes were a clear demonstration of a space within the sub-conventional conflict boundary wherein India can use airpower for targeting yet have escalation control. In line with those insights, the latest India-Pakistan clashes over Kashmir could be an evolution of a dynamic established during the 1999 Kargil War and refined during the Balakot airstrikes, with both nuclear-armed sides finding room for non-nuclear escalation without courting a nuclear response from either. Pakistan’s recent success against India’s fighters and at least one drone may not have only shifted South Asia’s airpower balance but also marked China’s arrival as a true global force in aerial warfare and fighter sales.",

Florence Pugh – who plays Yelena Belova in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – replied: “AHHHHHHH HOW AMAZING! Sending love to you both [heart emoji]” Elsewhere, John Legend – who is married to model Chrissy Teigen – simply wrote: “Congratulations!!” Music star Finneas has also offered his congratulations to the happy couple. He said: “YAYYYY CONGRATULATIONS!!!!” Liu and Hsu were first romantically linked to each other in late 2022. The Hollywood star opened up about their relationship in 2023, telling People that he felt a sense of relief after meeting Hsu. Liu told the magazine: “I think everyone knows the feeling of being in a situation where they’re not fully happy, and then all of a sudden for that to change ... it’s such a breath of relief. “It’s this feeling of ‘Oh, right, it does exist.’ You start to feel like, okay, maybe I’ve just been conditioned to want something that doesn’t exist or I have unrealistic expectations.” Liu also revealed that he’d love to have children with Hsu one day. He said: “I definitely see kids in my future. I would be surprised if I was not a father 10 years from now. “I think you just hit that point in your life where it starts happening around you and all of your best friends that you grew up just shooting s*** with and being delinquent kids with all of a sudden get to positions of responsibility and parenthood. “You’re looking at these guys and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, I never thought you would ever be responsible for another human life.’”",

      • "content": "( MENAFN - IANS) Chennai, May 12 (IANS) Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin is set to embark on a five-day official tour to the Nilgiris beginning Monday, to inaugurate the 127th edition of the iconic Ooty Flower Show. This celebrated event, part of the annual summer festival, will be held at the Government Botanical Garden in Ooty from May 15 to May 25. The Department of Horticulture and Plantation Crops organises the event in collaboration with the Nilgiris district administration. The flower show is one of the most anticipated events in the state's tourism calendar. Owing to a significant increase in expected tourist footfall this year, the event duration has been extended from the usual five days to ten days to offer visitors a more engaging and relaxed experience. The Chief Minister will leave Chennai on Monday and travel to Coimbatore by air. From there, he will proceed to Ooty by road. On May 15, he will officially inaugurate the flower show and tour various floral installations, which have been specially curated to reflect the horticultural richness and biodiversity of the region. In addition to the flower show, CM Stalin's itinerary includes participation in key public welfare programmes. A major highlight will be the distribution of pattas (land ownership documents) to thousands of eligible beneficiaries, a step aimed at empowering landless families and promoting rural development. During his stay, the Chief Minister is also scheduled to visit Doddabetta, the highest peak in the Nilgiris, where he will interact with members of the tribal community to understand their issues and assess developmental needs. CM Stalin is expected to return to Chennai by May 17 after completing his official engagements. Following the conclusion of the flower show on May 25, he is likely to travel to Kodaikanal for a brief family vacation. The Ooty Flower Show, a hallmark of Tamil Nadu's cultural and ecological celebrations, is expected to draw thousands of visitors from across the country this year.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - IANS) Jammu/Srinagar, May 12 (IANS) There was no report of any drone incursion or cross-border shelling in Jammu and Kashmir during the night intervening May 11 and 12 as people rose to a peaceful morning on Monday, but the security forces maintained the vigil. An Indian Army statement said,“The night remained largely peaceful in Jammu and Kashmir and other areas along the international border. No incident has been reported, marking the first calm night in recent days.” The situation in the border districts of Jammu division remained calm through the night, with no reports of drone activity, firing or shelling, officials said. Even as the army and the security forces did not lower their guard and continued to remain on high alert on the Line of Control (LoC) and the International Border (IB) throughout the union territory, no drone incursion or cross-border firing/shelling was reported from Uri, Kupwara, Poonch, Rajouri, Jammu, Samba, Kathua and Bandipora districts during the night. Security forces continue to remain on alert across Jammu and Kashmir. The Pakistan Army had violated the ceasefire on Saturday, even after the two countries announced cessation of hostilities on land, air and sea. Police have advised hundreds of residents of the border along the LoC and the IB not to hurry back to their homes, as a lot of unexploded shells in these areas need to be defused before the areas are declared safe for the civilians. A preliminary estimate indicates that over 200 residential houses and shops have been destroyed along the LoC and the IB by Pakistan mortar shelling. Authorities have announced that all exams have been postponed till May 14 by Kashmir University, while a fresh exam schedule will be announced later. A decision on the opening of schools, colleges and other educational institutions will be taken later in the day. All scheduled Hajj flights from J&K to Saudi Arabia have been cancelled till May 14.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - IANS) Mumbai, May 12 (IANS) Palak Tiwari, the young starlet steadily carving her space in the entertainment industry, recently opened up about being constantly compared to her mother, television actress Shweta Tiwari. In a candid conversation, Palak addressed the constant comparisons to her mother, Shweta, expressing that she feels 'it's unfair' to her, considering her mother's decades-long career and success. Despite the unfairness of these comparisons, Palak finds them flattering, seeing them as a sign that people recognize her. In a way, she appreciates that they are drawing parallels to someone they admire. However, she humbly admits that she doesn't think she physically resembles her mother. Nevertheless, Palak aspires to carry herself with the same grace and confidence as her mother, whom she clearly looks up to as a role model. The 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan' actress told IANS,“Honestly, it doesn't affect me. If anything, my mother should be the one reacting. After everything she has achieved, to be compared to someone half her age-that's not fair. I'm actually flattered. I don't think I look like her, but it's my dream to one day carry myself the way she does. If I can connect with people even a fraction as much as she did, I'll consider myself successful.” While Palak Tiwari is steadily carving her niche in the entertainment industry, her mother, Shweta Tiwari, remains a well-established and popular name in the television industry. The budding actress also spoke about her recent project, 'Romeo S3,' directed by Guddu Dhanoa. When asked about the challenges she faced while filming the action drama, Palak told IANS, \"I think it's quite evident-it was a big moment for me. This was my very first film, my first time acting in front of the camera. I was completely new to everything.\" \"The opportunity that Guddu sir gave me to be a part of this film meant a lot. It felt like I had to give it my all. He's worked with such big stars and is so well-respected as a director. Just being associated with him was an honour. And action films are always fun-people love them. It was an exciting launch for me,\" the 'Bhootni' actress added. Palak will be seen essaying the role of a journalist in \"Romeo S3,\" which is slated to be released on 16th May.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - IANS) Chennai, May 12 (IANS) The Regional Meteorological Centre (RMC), Chennai, has issued a forecast warning of heavy rainfall across several districts of Tamil Nadu between May 13 and 17. According to the latest bulletin, heavy rain is expected at isolated places in the Nilgiris, the ghat areas of Coimbatore, Erode, Krishnagiri, Dharmapuri, Salem, Namakkal, Tirupattur, Vellore, and Tiruvannamalai districts during this period. The weather department also indicated that light to moderate rainfall is likely at a few locations across Tamil Nadu and Puducherry, accompanied by thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds with speeds reaching 30-40 kmph in one or two places. The public is advised to take necessary precautions during this spell of unstable weather. In Chennai, the RMC has forecast partly cloudy skies for Monday, with possibilities of thunderstorms and light rain in parts of the city. The minimum temperature is expected to hover around 29 degrees Celsius. While some parts of the city remained dry, western areas and suburbs -- including Redhills, Ambattur, Porur, Mugaliwakkam, Valsaravakkam, Tambaram, Guduvancherry, Poonamallee, and Thiruverkadu -- received moderate showers on Sunday evening. Additionally, thunderstorms were reported in Avadi, Chromepet, Perungalathur, Sriperumbudur, Tiruvallur, and adjacent regions, bringing much-needed relief from the recent heat. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has also predicted that the Southwest Monsoon is very likely to advance into the South Andaman Sea, parts of the Southeast Bay of Bengal, and the Nicobar Islands around May 13. The monsoon may further progress over the southern Arabian Sea, the Maldives, and the Comorin region in the following days. Despite the rainfall activity, the RMC has cautioned that maximum daytime temperatures are expected to remain above normal by 2-3 degrees Celsius at isolated places in Tamil Nadu over the next few days. Residents are urged to stay updated with local weather advisories and avoid outdoor activities during lightning or heavy wind spells.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - IANS) Mumbai, May 12 (IANS) The domestic indices surged on Monday with Sensex jumping over 1,900 points in the morning trade, as India-Pakistan tensions eased with 'Operation Sindoor' marking a significant demonstration of India's military and strategic prowess. Buying was seen in the PSU bank, IT and auto sectors in the early trade. At around 9.34 am, Sensex was trading 1,943 points or 2.45 per cent up at 81,398.42 while the Nifty climbed 598.8 point or 2.49 per cent at 24,606.85. Nifty Bank was up 1,395.95 points or 2.60 per cent at 54,991.20. The Nifty Midcap 100 index was trading at 54,679.55 after rising 1,456.20 points or 2.74 per cent. Nifty Smallcap 100 index was at 16,584.60 after climbing 498.95 points or 3.10 per cent. According to analysts, India's markets and economy have demonstrated remarkable resilience, consistently transcending external perturbations and geo-political tensions. This strength comes from a steady, domestically-oriented economy, which helps protect against global troubles, showing that every crisis eventually ends. “India's efforts to negotiate trade deals will strengthen global business links and help it sell more worldwide, bringing in steady foreign money and making it more competitive. Along with balanced global relationships and strong partnerships, this creates a relatively stable investment place,\" said Devarsh Vakil, Head of Prime Research at HDFC Securities. Major indexes finished the last week narrowly mixed. The trade deal announcement between US and UK and reports that U.S. and Chinese officials meeting in Switzerland on the weekend for trade discussions, paved the way for broader negotiations and tariff de-escalation, supported investor sentiment, said experts. Meanwhile, in the Sensex pack, Adani Ports, Bajaj Finance, Axis Bank, Eternal, Power Grid, NTPC, Bajaj Finserv, Tata Steel, L&T, SBI were the top gainers. Whereas, only Sun Pharma was the top loser. In the Asian markets, China, Hong Kong and Seoul were trading in green, whereas, Japan was trading in red. In the last trading session on Friday, Dow Jones in the US declined 0.29 per cent to close at 41,249.38. The S&P 500 declined 0.07 per cent to 5,659.91and the Nasdaq closed at 17,928.92 . On the institutional front, foreign institutional investors (FIIs), after being net buyers for 16 consecutive sessions, turned net sellers on May 9, offloading equities worth Rs 3,798.71 crore. In contrast, domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) remained net buyers, investing Rs 7,277.74 crore on the same day.

      • "content": "NEW DELHI/MUZAFFARABAD: The Indian military sent a \"hotline message\" to Pakistan on Sunday (May 11) about violations of a ceasefire agreed this week and informed it of New Delhi's intent to respond if it was repeated, a top India army officer said, while the Pakistan military's spokesman denied any breaches of the ceasefire. India's Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) was speaking as a fragile ceasefire appeared to be holding after both sides blamed the other for initial violations on Saturday night. \"No violation is being made by the Pakistan army or armed forces of the ceasefire,\" said Pakistan's military spokesman during a press conference with representation from the country's air force and navy. The truce announced on Saturday followed four days of intense fighting between the nuclear-armed neighbours. In the worst fighting in nearly three decades, they fired missiles and drones at each other's military installations, killing almost 70 people. Diplomacy and pressure from the United States helped secure the ceasefire deal when it seemed that the conflict was spiralling alarmingly. But within hours of its coming into force, artillery fire was witnessed in Indian Kashmir, the centre of much of last week's fighting. Blasts from air-defence systems boomed in cities near the border under a blackout, similar to those heard during the previous two evenings, according to local authorities, residents and Reuters witnesses. \"Sometimes, these understandings take time to fructify, manifest on the ground,\" Lieutenant General Rajiv Ghai, the Indian DGMO, told a media briefing, referring to the truce. \"The (Indian) armed forces were on a very, very high alert (yesterday) and continue to be in that state.\" The Indian army chief had given a mandate to its commanders to deal with \"violations of any kind\" from across the borders in the best way they deem fit, Ghai added. He said his Pakistani counterpart called him on Saturday afternoon and proposed the two countries \"cease hostilities\" and urgently requested a ceasefire. Following India's request for a call after carrying out military attacks in Pakistan between May 6 and 7, and on the intervention of international interlocutors, Pakistan responded on May 10 to the earlier request, said Pakistan's military spokesman. Late on Saturday, the Pakistani foreign ministry had said that it was committed to the truce agreement and blamed India for the violations. US President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire on Saturday, saying it was reached after talks mediated by Washington. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said India and Pakistan had also agreed to start talks on \"a broad set of issues at a neutral site\". While Islamabad has thanked Washington for facilitating the ceasefire and welcomed Trump's offer to mediate on the Kashmir dispute with India, New Delhi has not commented on US involvement in the truce or talks at a neutral site. India maintains that disputes with Pakistan have to be resolved directly by the two countries and rejects any third-party involvement. On Sunday, Trump praised the leaders of both countries for agreeing to halt the aggression and said he would \"substantially\" increase trade with them. Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan each rule a part of Kashmir but claim it in full, and have twice gone to war over the Himalayan region. India blames Pakistan for an insurgency in its part of the territory, but Pakistan says it provides only moral, political and diplomatic support to Kashmiri separatists. PICKING UP THE PIECES Among those most affected by the fighting were residents on either side of the border, many of whom fled their homes when the fighting began on Wednesday, two weeks after a deadly attack in Indian Kashmir's Pahalgam that India said was backed by Islamabad. Pakistan denied the accusation. In the Indian border city of Amritsar, home to the Golden Temple revered by Sikhs, people returned to the streets on Sunday morning after a siren sounded to signal a return to normal activities following the tension of recent days. \"Ever since the terrorists attacked people in Pahalgam, we have been shutting our shops very early and there was an uncertainty. I am happy that at least there will be no bloodshed on both sides,\" said Satvir Singh Alhuwalia, 48, a shopkeeper in the city. In some border areas, however, people were asked not to return home just yet. In the Indian Kashmir city of Baramulla, authorities warned residents to stay away due to the threat posed by unexploded munitions. \"People here are hosting us well but just as a bird feels at peace in its own nest, we also feel comfortable only in our own homes, even if they have been damaged,\" said Azam Chaudhry, 55, who fled his home in the Pakistani town of Khuiratta and has now been told to wait until Monday before returning. In Indian Kashmir's Uri, a key power plant that was damaged in a Pakistani drone attack is still under repair. \"The project has suffered minor damage ... We have stopped generation as the transmission line has been damaged,\" said an official from state-run NHPC, India's biggest hydropower company, who did not want to be identified.",

      • "content": "( MENAFN - The Conversation)President Donald Trump has begun eroding the United States presence in Antarctica by announcing deep funding cuts to his nation's science and logistics on the icy continent. The Trump administration has significantly reduced funding for both Antarctica's largest research and logistics station, McMurdo , and the National Science Foundation which funds US research in Antarctica. More cuts are foreshadowed. If carried through, US science and overall presence in Antarctica will be seriously diminished – at a time when China is significantly expanding its presence there. Since 1958, the US has been a leader in both Antarctic diplomacy and science. Shrinking its Antarctic presence will diminish US capacity to influence the region's future. The US has long been influential on the icy continent. Pictured: New Zealand explorer Sir Edmund Hillary, left, with US Lieutenant Commander David W Canham Jr in Antarctica on January 11 1957.AP Why the US matters in Antarctica The US has historically focused its Antarctic influence in three key areas: 1. Keeping Antarctica free from military conflict The US has built considerable Antarctic geopolitical influence since the late 1950s. Under President Dwight D. Eisenhower, it initiated (and later hosted) negotiations that led to the development of the 1959 Antarctic Treaty . It was also key to establishing the fundamental principles of the treaty, such as using the Antarctic region only for peaceful purposes, and prohibiting military activities and nuclear weapons testing. President Dwight Eisenhower, left, poses with President-elect John F Kennedy in Washington on December 6 1960. Under Eisenhower, the US initiated the Antarctic Treaty.AP 2. Governing Antarctica together The US was influential in developing the international legal system that governs human activities in the Antarctic region. In the 1970s, expanding unregulated fishing in the Southern Ocean led to serious concerns about the effects on krill-eating species – especially the recovery of severely depleted whale populations. The US joined other Antarctic Treaty nations to champion the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CAMLR ), signed in 1980. It prioritises conservation of Southern Ocean ecosystems and all species, over maximum fish harvesting. The US also contributed to the 1991 Protocol on Environmental Protection . Among other measures it prohibits mining and designates Antarctica as“a natural reserve, devoted to peace and science”. The US has been vital to Antarctic governance. Pictured: US Secretary of State John Kerry, right, at Scott Base in Antarctica in 2016.Mark Ralston/AP 3. Scientific research and collaboration The US operates three year‐round Antarctic research stations: Palmer, Amundsen-Scott and McMurdo. McMurdo is Antarctica's largest research station. Amundsen-Scott is located at the South Pole , the geographic centre of Antarctica, and the point at which all Antarctic territorial claims meet. The South Pole station is thus important symbolically and strategically, as well as for science. The US has the largest number of Antarctic scientists of any nation in the continent. US scientific work has been at the forefront of understanding Antarctica's role in the global climate system, and how climate change will shape the future of the planet. It has also played a major role in Southern Ocean ecosystem and fisheries research . This research has underpinned important policies. For example, US input into models to predict and manage sustainable krill yields has been pivotal in regulating the krill fishery, and ensuring it doesn't harm penguin, seal and whale populations. The US has also been a staunch supporter of a comprehensive network of marine protected areas in the Southern Ocean. The Ross Sea Region Marine Protected Area proposed by the US and New Zealand is the largest in the world. McMurdo is the largest research station in Antarctica.Wirestock Creators/Shutterstock A broad ripple effect The US influence in Antarctica extends beyond the list above. For example, the US has a significant Antarctic-based space program. And US citizens make up most Antarctic tourists , and the US plays a significant role in regulating tourism there. The full extent of the Trump administration's cuts is still to play out. But clearly, if they proceed as signalled, the cuts will be a major blow not to just US interests in Antarctica, but those of many other countries. The US has the best-resourced logistics network in Antarctica. Its air transport, shipping and scientific field support has traditionally been shared by other countries. New Zealand, for instance, is closely tied with the US in resupply of food and fuel, and uses US air and sea logistics for many operations to the Ross Sea region. And joint research programs with the US will be affected by reduced funding in Antarctica directly, and elsewhere. For example, reported cuts to the climate programs of NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) may hamper satellite coverage of the Antarctic and Southern Ocean. This would affect Australian scientists collecting data on ocean temperature, sea-ice state and other metrics used in climate research and weather forecasting. People at New Zealand's Christchurch Airport board a US Air Force plane as they prepare to fly to McMurdo Station in Antarctica. The US often shares its Antarctic logistics with other nations.Mark Baker/AP Worrying times ahead China has signalled its intention to be a key geopolitical player in Antarctica and has greatly expanded its Antarctic presence in recent years. China has five Antarctic research stations . Its sixth summer station is due for completion in 2027. China also operates two icebreaker ships , helicopters and a fixed-wing aircraft in Antarctica and is building new, large krill trawlers . Both China and Russia, are increasingly active in their opposition to environmental initiatives such as marine protected areas. A smaller US presence creates greater opportunities for others to shape Antarctica's geopolitics. This includes pressure to erode decades-long protection of the Antarctic environment, a push for more intensive fish and krill harvesting, and potentially reopening debate on mining in the region. Lynda Goldsworthy and Tony Press co-authored the chapter Power at the Bottom of the World in the new book Antarctica and the Earth System . A smaller US presence creates opportunities for others to shape Antarctica's geopolitics.Oleksandr Matsibura/Shutterstock MENAFN12052025000199003603ID1109535393 Legal Disclaimer: MENAFN provides the information “as is” without warranty of any kind.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - IANS) Chandigarh, May 12 (IANS) No incident of firing along the International Borders in Amritsar and other border districts in Punjab has been reported, officials said on Monday, but all educational institutions will remain closed for one more day. Debunking news about a blackout in Amritsar, Deputy Commissioner Sakshi Sawhney said there was no requirement for any siren warning requiring people to stay indoors or a blackout Sunday-Monday night in Amritsar.“The defence authorities regularly update us and immediately alert us regarding the need for a blackout or indoor warning. So will urge people not to panic,” she told the media. As a precaution, all government, aided and private schools, colleges and universities in Amritsar district will be closed on Monday. The school teachers may take online classes from home. However, no teacher should be called to the school. A day earlier, Deputy Commissioner Sawhney visited localities and thanked the brave and resilient people of Amritsar.“We are incredibly proud of how each one of you responded with bravery, patience, and trust in one another and in the administration,” she was quoted as saying. Besides Amritsar, local authorities in Pathankot, border cities of Ferozepur, Gurdaspur and Tarn Taran districts, and also in Sangrur, ordered the closure of schools on Monday too. Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains said all educational institutions, including schools, colleges and universities, will reopen from May 12. However, he clarified that Deputy Commissioners in border districts have been authorised to decide whether to open or close schools, based on local circumstances. Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar on Sunday visited DMC Hospital in Ludhiana to meet victims from Ferozepur who were injured in Pakistani shelling and drone attacks in a village. Jakhar emphasised the need for collective action.“Given Punjab's strategic location and the economic constraints, especially in terms of disrupted trade, border zone restrictions and heightened security risks, it is imperative that we now pursue a structured and sustained form of the Central (government) support,” he was quoted as saying. At the all-party meeting on Saturday, attended, among others, by Governor Gulab Chand Kataria and Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, Jakhar raised the need for a special economic package for Punjab, keeping in mind the continuing losses the state suffered owing to being a border state. The state BJP president specifically proposed that Punjab should be considered for a special status on the lines of what is extended to states like Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and others that would allow for long-term economic and developmental benefits.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - IANS) Seoul, May 12 (IANS) South Korea has newly designated robotics and defence technologies as part of its portfolio of advanced technologies the country aims to strategically develop as new economic growth engines, the industry ministry said on Monday. The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy posted a notification of designation of the two new national strategic technologies on the official gazette, bringing the total number of such technologies to 19. Before the addition of robotics and defence, South Korea's list of national strategic technologies comprised eight semiconductor-related technologies, four related to displays, three concerning rechargeable batteries and two in biotechnology, reports Yonhap news agency. In the robotics sector, the government picked the design, manufacturing and processing technology for humanoid robots capable of moving at speeds of at least 3.3 meters per second and carrying loads exceeding 20 kilograms. Last year, the government announced a plan to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics technologies to boost the competitiveness of the Korean humanoid robot technologies to a global top tier level by 2027. In the defence sector, core materials and components technologies for advanced aircraft engines with a thrust of 15,000 pounds-force or more have been newly listed as strategic technology. The advanced engines are considered core technology needed to develop next-generation fighter jets and unmanned aerial vehicles. \"To support the development of such technologies, the government plans to provide comprehensive support, including the establishment of specialised graduate schools, tax incentives to promote investment, and the development of necessary infrastructure,\" an official at the ministry said. Meanwhile, Doosan Robotics reported its first-quarter net loss of 9.4 billion won (US$6.8 million), remaining in the red compared with a year ago. The company said in a regulatory filing that it continued to post an operating loss of 12.1 billion won for the January-March period, compared with a loss of 6.9 billion won a year earlier. Revenue fell 51.5 percent to 5.3 billion won. -IANS na/ MENAFN12052025000231011071ID1109535373 Legal Disclaimer: MENAFN provides the information “as is” without warranty of any kind.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Live Mint) US-based South Asia analyst Michael Kugelman said on Monday that he believed that India and Pakistan relations \"were at one of the lowest points in a number of decades, and they were closer to going to war than at any time since the Kargil crisis\" He noted that the \"ceasefire really de-escalated things in a big way\" amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions but this ceasefire could be \"fragile\". In an interview with the news agency ANI, Kugelman said that the developments were quick, and the ceasefire was sudden and remarkable. “Well, it's been quite a week, given how we saw such a major escalation in tensions so quickly over the last few days and then for there to be this very sudden ceasefire that appeared to come out of nowhere. It really is quite remarkable,” Kugelman said. He added,“I think that the India, Pakistan relations were at one of their lowest points in a number of decades, and they were closer to going to war than at any time since the cargo crisis.” He, however, feared that the ceasefire could be fragile. \"And in that sense, the ceasefire has really de-escalated things in a big way, but I think that it will be a fragile ceasefire because we know that tensions remain quite high between both countries,\" he said. Michael Kugelman's comments came as India and Pakistan announced on May 10 terms of“understanding” to stop cross-border military action. However, India accused Pakistan of violating this understanding shortly after it was reached on Saturday. The tension between India and Pakistani escalated after the Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting nine terror sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir (PoK).

      • "description": "韓國首爾2025年5月12日 /美通社/ -- LG Innotek於本月12日(海外報道日期)首次向媒體公開了公司增長新動力FC-BGA(Flip Chip ball grid Array)生產中心——龜尾「夢想工廠(Dream Factory)」。 LG Innotek曾在2022年宣佈進軍高附加值半導體基板FC-BGA業務,為此從LG電子收購了龜尾第四工廠並打造「Dream Factory」,從去年2月開始正式投入批量生產。 「Dream Factory」(共26000m2)被評價為集AI、深度學習、機器人及數字孿生等最新IT技術於一體的業界最高水平的「智能工廠」,將整個工程自動化、信息化和智能化,構建了去除降低生產競爭力的代表性四大因素、實現一級品質的FC-BGA生產基礎設施,四大因素包括Man(作業者)、F-cost(失敗成本)、BM Loss(事後維修損失)及Accident(安全事故)。 「從源頭上切斷因人的接觸而導致的不良因素」......用機器人實現所有工藝流程、物流流程自動化 就FC-BGA等需要高難度超微工程的半導體基板產品而言,即使是微小的異物(眉毛、口水等),也會導致品質不良,因此,在生產過程中盡量減少人與產品的接觸是關鍵。 為此,LG Innotek在「Dream Factory」引進了物流全自動化系統。事實上,在「Dream Factory」裡很少會遇到人,因為除了設備維護及修理等必需人力之外,包含十餘個階段的FC-BGA工藝流程及物流流程都在走向無人化系統。 與之相反,在「Dream Factory」裡可以看到數十台自動機器人(AMR,Autonomous Mobile Robot)通過無人駕駛往返於生產線各處運送材料。如果按照RTS(Real Time Schedule)內輸入的顧客交貨期自動下達生產訂單,AMR就會將原材料運送到工藝設備上。工藝設備自動感應原材料上的條形碼,通過RMS(Recipe Management System)自動在設備上設置符合產品規格的工藝配方,產品加工就會正式開始。將工藝流程結束的產品重新裝載到跟蹤器(Stocker)上也是AMR的任務。 此外,去除面板保護膜(Film Detach)的工藝也將由機器人代替人類,由此可以預防諸如微刮擦或粉塵之類的異物成為不良因素。在整個工藝流程中構建協作機器人這樣的非接觸式(Non-Touch)生產設備,大幅減少因作業者導致的操作性不良。 基於AI的FC-BGA質檢無人化......通過保障品質「透明性」提升客戶信賴度 在「Dream Factory」裡,關於FC-BGA的生產,每天持續生成20萬個以上的文件、100GB的數據。LG Innotek通過設置在所有設備上的傳感器積累整個生產流程的數據,並將持續學習該大數據的AI應用於不良品預測及檢驗系統,大幅縮短了因發生不良而導致的Lead time 延期問題 。 除此之外,LG Innotek還在進行良品判定的最重要階段——AOI(Automated Optical Inspection)流程中,使用了AI深度學習視覺檢驗系統。如果機器人持續將完成生產的FC-BGA基板產品運送至視覺篩選檢驗台,學習了數萬個FC-BGA不良品與良品數據的AI在30秒內就能感知到用肉眼難以捕捉到的細微的不良情況。 LG Innotek正在進一步升級運營AOI流程。在Line tour中首先可以確認電路不良的AOI設備,設置了比這規模更大的機器人和檢驗裝置。在被稱為LQC(Line Quality Control)的這個地方,可以自動檢驗客戶要求的各種產品規格(厚度、大小等)是否得到準確體現,而且檢驗數據會即時傳送到客戶手中,從而保障產品品質的透明性,這將直接起到提升客戶信賴度的效果。已經升級至業界最高水平的LG Innotek AOI設備,是讓來訪工廠的全球客戶們印象最深刻的部分之一。 由於AI只會識別發生不良的產品,而且通過對所有產品進行工序跟蹤的條形碼,無需人的介入就可以自動篩選出被判定為不良的產品,所以F-cost(失敗成本)最多可以減少50%以上。 此外,在可以事先預防產品不良、設備故障等的數字模擬系統中也採用了AI。此前,人們為了親自確認產品是否異常並掌握發生不良時哪些設備有問題,以及如何修理等,需要花費很多時間,現在則可大幅改善這些問題。 LG Innotek計劃截止到2026年,引進實時感知及分析生產流程中發生的品質異常並自動修正的工藝流程智能化系統(i-QMS,intelligent-Quality Management System)。由此實現FC-BGA整個生產流程的自動化,尤其是開發適用數字孿生技術的平台,實時與客戶共享從產品開發到生產的所有流程,強化客戶應對能力。 通過數字孿生實現最佳FC-BGA工藝設備......「Ramp-up時間縮短一半」 即使是非常細微部分的「變數」,也可能會導致FC-BGA的性能不良。因此,不僅要有適合生產良品的最佳設備,還要具備設定為完美值的工藝配方及生產環境等,才能提升收益率。 「Dream Factory」裡構建的FC-BGA工藝設備通過數字孿生(Digital Twin)被設置為最佳條件。此前,為了找到最佳FC-BGA工藝條件,需要投入大量時間和費用、經過數百次測試,但現在LG Innotek在設置設備之前,先在虛擬空間利用3D模型進行「工廠模擬」,可以事先掌握最初設置的FC-BGA工藝設備的問題所在。由於可對設備內液體、熱及空氣流動等很難實測的具體條件進行優化後設置設備,使得Ramp-up(通過提升量產初期收益率來擴大生產能力)時間比原來縮短了近一半。 不僅如此,數字孿生技術還被應用於能夠實時監控生產現狀的Line Monitoring System(LMS)。在設置LMS的綜合管制室大屏幕上,通過實時監控系統,能夠一目瞭然地監控目前正在運行的生產線和產品移動、庫存情況、設備有無異常、產品生產業績及品質現狀等,如果出現異常,可以立即採取應對措施。 玻璃芯技術內化,階段性進軍高端FC-BGA市場......「將在2030年打造成萬億級業務」 LG Innotek通過持續50年的基板材料零部件業務,積累了超微電路、高集成·高多層基板整合(準確、均勻地堆疊多個基板層)技術等高附加值半導體基板核心技術。 基於上述經驗,LG Innotek繼去年年末正式批量生產面向北美Big Tech客戶的PC用FC-BGA後,最近又成功獲取了全球Big Tech客戶。今年的目標是進入PC CPU用FC-BGA市場,最快將於2026年進入服務器用FC-BGA市場,階段性進軍High-end級FC-BGA市場。為此,LG Innotek已完成防止粉塵發生的「Edge Coating」等服務器用FC-BGA產品工藝流程必需設備的引進。 在此目標下,LG Innotek與全球Big Tech客戶合作,加快新一代基板技術的先行開發。計劃到2027年為止,實現將微電路圖形直接刻制在基板上的「重布線層(RDL,Re-Distribution Layer)技術」、將元件內置於基板並使電力損失最小化的「元件嵌入(Embedding)技術」、防止大面積基板彎曲現象的「多層芯(MLC,Multi-Layer Core)技術」及「玻璃芯(Glass Core,玻璃基板)技術」等技術的內化。尤其是玻璃基板,LG Innotek正在加強與全球客戶公司合作,持續進行宣傳活動。 基板材料業務部長(副社長) 姜旻錫 表示:「LG Innotek將基於最尖端『Dream Factory』,持續擴大提供差異化顧客價值的FC-BGA生產,截止到2030年,將FC-BGA業務打造成萬億級業務。」 此外,據富士嵌合體綜合研究所預測,全球FC-BGA市場規模將從2022年的80億美元(約11.6912萬億韓元)增長到2030年的164億美元(約23.9669萬億韓元),增長高達一倍以上。 [術語解析] FC-BGA(Flip Chip Ball Grid Array):半導體用基板,廣泛適用於包含執行各種運算功能的半導體芯片(CPU、GPU及AI芯片等)的電子設備。隨著數據處理量增加、半導體處理速度增加及低功率半導體需求擴大,高配置半導體基板的需求呈激增趨勢。據悉,FC-BGA的面積比現有半導體基板大,層數增多也是因為這個原因,要想實現這一點,需要頂級水平的設備和技術,因此,FC-BGA的市場進入門檻非常高。 檢驗產品是否按照客戶要求規格(厚度、大小等)實現的LQC(Line Quality Control)流程。檢驗結果數據會即時發送給客戶,無法作假。這種品質透明性是全球客戶最重視的因素之一。",

He competed in a special “50 Best” episode of the show that challenges chefs to cook a dish from ingredients in a celebrity’s fridge. Aired on Korea television on Sunday (May 11), the episode featured “Team Asia” – made up of Singapore’s Han, chef Yusuke Takada of La Cime in Japan and Antimo Maria Merone of Estro in Hong Kong – going up against “Team Korea”, which was represented by Son Jeong-won of Eatanic Garden as well as Culinary Class Wars alumni Choi Hyun-seok and Kwong Seong-jun (known as Napoli Matfia). Han was invited to participate because of Labyrinth’s standing at number 37 on the latest Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list, and he accepted because he wanted to “have fun, make friends and, most importantly, showcase what Singapore has,” even though his policy up until now has been not to compete in on-air competitions because “I don’t want to lose,” he quipped. Han flew to Seoul and filmed for the episode over 13 hours on Apr 26. For his opponent, he chose Culinary Class Wars' Choi, because the two have been longtime friends, having first met in Singapore eight years ago at an editorial shoot arranged by the Singapore Tourism Board and subsequently at global culinary events. “He’s the chef who has been on the show the longest and has the highest win rate,” Han said. “When they asked me, ‘Can you win against Choi? Why did you pick the oldest chef?’ I said, ‘He’s a legend, and I would love to try to defeat the legend.’” Whose fridge did he raid? The celebrity of the day was Kim Jae-joong, erstwhile member of popular south Korean boy band TVXQ. “My fridge had a lot of Korean ingredients: Ssamjang, perilla leaves, gochujang, squid. We have to cook according to the celebrities’ preference. Kim Jae-joong likes really spicy food, like, make you sweat kind of spicy.” In addition, there was a “Do you know makgeolli?” theme, as “Kim Jae-joong just launched his own makgeolli brand. So, we had to create a dish suited for makgeolli.” Han’s solution was to whip up a classic Singapore chilli crab from the Korean ingredients that would pair well with the Korean rice wine, “like drinking Tiger Beer to wash it down”. To make the dish, he used ssamjang, tomato sauce, oyster sauce, Korean fish sauce, Korean sesame sauce, hot sauce known as “Korean death sauce”, and egg whites, along with squid and a frozen leg of crab that were in the fridge. “I’ve been to Korea quite often and tasted ssamjang, so I kind of knew it should work, but I’d never put those things together, so it was really just pure instinct,” he recalled. “Ssamjang has garlic, shallots, chilli paste, fermented soy bean paste”, which was ideal since “there was no time to chop garlic and shallots”. To replace shaoxing wine, he used soju, and chose pickled perilla leaves to take the place of lime. And, “Instead of mantou, I used instant rice cakes boiled in makgeolli for a bit of sweetness and creaminess, then grilled.” He also made a side dish of julienned pear wrapped in kimchi. “Towards the end, my hands were shaking because I was running out of time.” The final dish tasted a lot like a classic chilli crab, he said, while still being “a bit different, like a Korean version.” He explained: “I didn't want to do a modern, Labyrinth-style dish, firstly because of the timing; and secondly, I wanted to do something that could showcase Singapore's traditional foods to the world. My point is that I think the knowledge of Singapore cuisine is still not there when it comes to the world stage. It’s not like Korean cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Thai cuisine or Filipino cuisine. What I do has always been about showcasing what Singapore is, whether traditional or modern.” During the competition, here were a few panic moments, he said, like chopping up mushrooms and then forgetting to use them, and the rice cakes cooking unevenly due to the shape of the pan. There was also the language barrier. “I had an ear piece with live translation,” he revealed, and “when I spoke in English, there was a loudspeaker in the studio translating it into Korean” for the others. Of course, with many people speaking simultaneously, the translation got a little confusing at times. It helped to have Choi there as a friend, he said, offering to show him how the equipment worked and being generally supportive. “To be honest, my strategy was just to complete my dish,” Han said. “I asked the producer beforehand, ‘Has anyone not completed their dish?’ And they said, ‘No, never’. I was a bit nervous, as well – it was a different world altogether, it was a 13-hour shoot, and I had to compete first because I was the youngest!” He did receive some sage advice, though. Prior to leaving on the trip, he shared, “my wife said to me, ‘It’s more important to be entertaining than to win or lose.’” As for whether he did anything to prepare for the competition, he said, “Nothing, I just tried to have an early night before the shoot.” An interesting behind-the-scenes tidbit is that “every time we took a break, we all had one-on-one assistance – they would talk to us about the script. They would say, ‘This is coming up, you must follow this instruction, you must say something about your dish,’ or, ‘Choi is going to poke fun at you – just react in good humour.’” Did he learn anything about himself through the experience? “That I still have it in me to cook a delicious Singaporean dish in 15 minutes,” he quipped. He mused: “I think chefs every day have to learn to live with pressure and be quick-thinking. If mistakes happen, or the quality of the ingredients is not good enough, what do we do? How do you change the dish? So, this show technically takes what we're doing in real life and compresses it into 15 minutes.” On his part, “I wanted to show Korea what we have. I would have loved to show them authentic Singapore food, but because of the rules of the show, I had to cook out of a Korean fridge, so, I did my best to show what Singapore flavours are, based on what we share in culture and ingredients – and that we are a lot closer than what we think we are when it comes to our flavours.” Meanwhile, Choi will be in Singapore in July and will be cooking together with Han at Labyrinth. In a special two-night collaboration planned for Jul 13 and 14, the two chefs will present the competition dishes they made on the show, paired with the same makgeolli; as well as other dishes like a samgyetang dish they worked on together. (Event updates and booking details will be available on Labyrinth's social media accounts).",

      • "description": "Gladys Lam’s passion for cars started when she was a teen. Racing was never part of the plan but her love for driving naturally evolved into competitive motorsports. She is now Singapore’s only active female race care driver.",
      • "content": "If you spot Gladys Lam in her Suzuki Swift Sport on the roads, resist the urge to challenge her to a race. She will not take you on, not because she might lose, but on the contrary, she will outpace you. “I’ve no interest in illegal street races. Racing belongs on the track,” Lam asserted. However, she is happy to chat and take photos. Lam, 30, is a professional race car driver, and currently the only active female racer in Singapore. Former notable speed queens include Anne Wong Holloway, the Singaporean driver who won the Macau Grand Prix in 1970, and British-born, Singapore-raised Claire Jedrek, who made history by becoming the first woman to achieve podium finishes in the Malaysia Championship Series. “I do hope more Singaporean females pick up motorsports,” Lam told CNA Women. “It is a big commitment. But to me, it is a dream worth chasing.” FROM SIMULATOR RACING TO COMPETITIVE MOTORSPORTS Influenced by friends who were into cars, Lam’s passion for motorsports began when she was a teenager. She spent years doing simulator racing and go-karting before taking part in her first race in 2019 at the Malaysia Street Festival Series race at Sepang International Circuit. A last-minute spot to take part in the race, which fell on her 24th birthday, had opened up. “It felt like a sign for me to go big or go home,” Lam recalled. She came in first in the women’s category. “The feeling of standing on top of the podium after a race was addictive. It made me want to chase that high again and again.” The former events project manager entered full-time racing and content creation in 2024. “It was bittersweet letting go of a job that I enjoyed, but things got overwhelming with the increasing demands from racing and content projects,” said Lam. “But being a project manager taught me how to manage chaos, and that skill translated perfectly into managing racing schedules, sponsors, and content work.” Lam reckoned she has taken part in over 30 races across different countries, circuits and cars, since her debut in 2019, at times clocking in speeds of about 200 km/h. One of her recent races was in December 2024, where she took part in a 25-hour endurance race in Thailand with Team Supersonic, an all-Singaporean team. At endurance races, drivers take one-to-two-hour shifts. She stayed the full 25 hours on the track. Even when she was not driving, she was on standby with her phone switched on and ready to go. “Such long endurance races can mess with your body clock a bit, but you prepare for it. You rest when you can, hydrate, and stay sharp,” she said. The team came in sixth. Lam races in production cars such as the Suzuki Swift, Honda Jazz and Honda CR-Z. On the outside, they look similar to the ones on the roads, but the race cars have been stripped to their bare minimum and have only one race seat. Her daily car is a Suzuki Swift Sport which she has had for nine years. “Maintenance is simple and it drives great,” Lam said. GYMKHANA AND CIRCUIT RACING Races in Singapore are mostly gymkhana, which historically used to be called “car park rallys”. In gymkhana, drivers complete a complex obstacle course in the shortest time. Lam has competed in a few gymkhana competitions in Singapore and in Southeast Asia and clinched some podium finishes along the way. “But it’s tough to get locations for gymkhana in Singapore so competitions don’t happen often,” she explained. Her main racing discipline is circuit racing. Singapore doesn’t have a permanent race circuit, so most of Lam’s races happen overseas, mainly in Malaysia and Thailand. On average, she travels for a race once every month or two depending on the season calendar, and on each race weekend there are usually at least two races. Lam’s upcoming races include the PT Maxnitron Racing Series in Thailand, in June, August and October. For non-racing fans, who may be more familiar with Formula 1 , Lam said that “that is a different beast”. Formula cars are open-wheel, involve a huge budget, and are very technical. “What we do is production-based racing, but the competition, pressure, and intensity are just as real. It might be less glamorous, but the strategy and mental game are all universal,” she said. To prepare for her races, Lam does simulator training to improve her driving, reaction times and decision-making skills. “They are all important because during a race, you are constantly under pressure,” she said. Off-track training includes gym work for muscle endurance and heat resistance, and on-track training takes place during test days and practice sessions with the race car. FACING UP TO NAYSAYERS At 1.52m tall and weighing 52 kg, the petite Lam says her biggest challenge is keeping up with the physical demands of her sport. “I’ve to train harder to keep up in endurance races,” she said. And then, there are also comments such as “girls can’t drive,” or “you sure you know what you’re doing?” that Lam gets. “Sometimes they don’t even say it aloud, it’s in the way they dismiss you, or talk over you, or people being surprised when I debate about something car-related that may be unpopular but right,” she said. “B eing a woman in this space often means having to prove yourself twice as hard just to be seen as an equal. But I think that’s why I keep going. Being underestimated can either break or fuel you. I chose to let it fuel me.” Her parents were worried initially about her love for motorsports. “Racing isn’t the safest or most conventional path, but over time, they’ve seen how dedicated I am, and are now super supportive.” FUNDING HER CAREER Racing is an expensive sport, and a race weekend in Southeast Asia can cost between S$3,000 and S$15,000, depending on the race car, location, tyres, fuel, transport and race team. And that’s not including training or repairs. “Compared to something like badminton, where you just need a racket, shoes, and a court, racing is on a whole other scale. To me, racing comes first. However, I definitely can’t afford it out of pocket,” said Lam. She realised early on that securing sponsors was key to her journey. “I started content creation out of necessity because it was the only way to really put myself out there. Content creation is just one way I fight for survival in this sport,” she said. Lam has over 18,000 followers on TikTok and more than 69,000 followers on Instagram , mostly males aged 25 to 44. Besides posting on her races, she also posts car reviews, and car factory visits. “I always prioritise creating content that I genuinely like or feel would be interesting or helpful for my audience. If it’s not fun or meaningful, I won’t take the job as I won’t post what I don’t believe in.” “Race suits, flags and apparel are walking billboards, and race cars are wrapped with sponsors’ logos. I usually joke that I’m a walking advertisement, with logos on the race suit, apparel, helmet, car, and all,” quipped Lam. LIFE OFF THE TRACK Besides being a race driver and content creator, Lam is also vice-president of the Hamster Society Singapore , a non-profit, volunteer group that rescues and rehabilitates abandoned and abused hamsters. “Watching these small animals heal, trust again, and slowly turn into their best selves after everything they’ve been through, gives me the most peace and happiness,” said Lam.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - IANS) Mumbai, May 12 (IANS) As tensions simmer between India and Pakistan, veteran actor Anupam Kher shared an emotional video revealing why he felt“heavy-hearted” before leaving for an international trip. Despite embarking on an exciting new chapter with his upcoming film 'Tanvi The Great,' Kher admitted that his heart felt uneasy - a feeling rooted not in personal anxiety, but in his deep connection to his country. Taking to Instagram handle, Kher posted a video of him writing,“Country is the only one that can make you feel strong! Just like that! My mind was a little heavy, so I thought I should talk to you people from my heart. And didn't realize the video got longer! If you like it then watch it completely! If you like it more then share it too! Jai Hind! Hail India! #India #Hindustan.” In the clip, Anupam Kher could be heard saying,“I don't have any special reason to make this video. I was packing my stuff and I'm going abroad tomorrow. I was feeling a little heavy. I wasn't enjoying it. The thing I'm going for is exciting. Tanvi The Great's new beginning is happening. So, I should be very exciting. It should be very exciting for me. I should be very excited. But I was thinking, what's happening? Then I thought, maybe I read some comments on social media in the morning. I didn't enjoy it. That's why I was feeling sad. Then I thought about my life. Whenever I feel heavy, I think about my life. Then I feel, where did I start from and where have I reached? Then I feel good.” In the over eight-minute video, the actor reflected on his journey and his unbreakable bond with India.“Whenever I feel low, I think about where I started and where I've reached. That gives me strength. I realized I'm only eight years younger than my country. Bharat was born on August 15, 1947, and I was born on March 7, 1955. We've grown up together - like siblings.” He reminisced about the wars India faced-1962, 1965, and 1971 - and the impact they had on his childhood in Shimla.“I remember the sirens, digging trenches, and covering windows with newspapers. Every joy and sorrow of this nation feels personal to me. That's how deeply I'm connected to Bharat.” Kher went on to speak about patriotism, emphasizing that his love for the country isn't about objectivity.“I studied in a Hindi-medium school. I don't think in English - I think in Hindi. So when someone criticizes India, I don't get angry anymore; I feel sad. I feel sad not for India, but for the people who speak poorly of it.” The 70-year-old actor also spoke about his early struggles.“I came to this city 43 years ago with Rs 37 in my pocket. Today, I've completed 545 films. I live in a rented house, but I have a car, a bungalow, and, above all, I have my mother. Who gave me all this? This country did. Of course, we work hard, but it is this land that makes our dreams possible.” Anupam concluded by remembering the Indian soldiers and their families.“We lost some brave soldiers recently. Their families have suffered an irreparable loss. When you think of their pain, your own sorrow starts to feel small.” MENAFN11052025000231011071ID1109535357 Legal Disclaimer: MENAFN provides the information “as is” without warranty of any kind.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - IANS) New Delhi, May 12 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday extended his best wishes to citizens on the occasion of Buddha Purnima, highlighting that the life and teachings of Lord Buddha will always guide the world towards compassion and peace.

His life dedicated to sacrifice and penance will always inspire the world community towards compassion and peace.\" Union Home Minister Amit Shah also took to social media to convey his greetings. \"Happy Buddha Purnima to everyone. The life of Lord Buddha, who gave the message of equality and unity to human society by following the path of knowledge, compassion and non-violence, is the confluence of thoughts, words and deeds. I pray to Lord Buddha for everyone's happiness and peace,\" he said in a post on X. Union Minister J.P. Nadda also extended his heartfelt wishes, saying, \"I extend my heartfelt greetings and best wishes to all the countrymen on Buddha Purnima.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - IANS) Mumbai, May 12 (IANS) While India and Pakistan continue to engage in the skirmishes in light of India's ongoing retaliatory measure, Operation Sindoor, the impact seems to be extending to the entertainment landscape of the subcontinent as well. Indian actor Harshvardhan Rane and Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane are engaged in a heated social media exchange over love for their respective countries. On Sunday, Harshvardhan gave a solid rebuttal to his 'Sanam Teri Kasam' co-actor Mawra after her recent statement which directly was targeted against the Indian actor.. She had said,“Someone I expected to have basic common sense has risen from deep slumber with a PR strategy. While our nations are at war, this is what you come up with? A PR statement to get attention? What a pity”. In his response, the actor seemed very measured yet pointed. The actor took to the Stories section of his Instagram, and wrote,“That sounded like an attempt at personal attack. Fortunately, I have tolerance to overlook such attempts - but have zero tolerance for any attack on my nation's dignity. An Indian farmer would pluck out the unwanted weed from his crop, its called WEEDING, the farmer doesn't need a PR team for this act, it's called common sense (sic)”. The actor further mentioned that he merely said anything that would offend the actress, and he was well within his rights to decline a project that he doesn't deem correct to be a part of under certain situations. He shared,“I simply offered to step down from Part 2. I am fully within my rights to choose not to work with individuals who label my country's actions as 'cowardly'. So much hate in her speech, so many personal remarks, I never mentioned her name or resorted to calling her names. Didn't attack her dignity as a woman. I intend to maintain that standard”.

      • "content": "Tight schedules, endless tasks and demanding expectations – these are the daily realities for many working professionals. Emergency medicine physicians and authors Dr Adaira Landry and Dr Resa Lewiss share practical strategies on how to stay well despite busy lives. Here's an excerpt from the conversation: Gerald Tan, host: There's this one tip, one micro skill that's in the book about offloading routine tasks that bring you no joy or purpose. Many Singaporeans will want to rehearse that conversation because they can't wait to get things off their responsibility, but they don't know how. They don't know how to speak to their bosses about it, they would just suffer in silence. So tell us, how does that practically work out? Dr Adaira Landry, co-author and emergency medicine physician: It's very important for us to make it clear that we are not referring to the core roles of your job, I have given many lectures on this exact topic. We should have a sense of happiness, a sense of purpose, a sense of growth when we're doing work right, and if you're not having that, then perhaps the work you're doing is not right for you. And inevitably, every single time I give this lecture, someone more senior raises their hand and says: \"Are you telling people to quit their job? Because if I hired you for something and you tell me you're not going to do it because it doesn't bring you joy, I can't keep you there.\" And so I think that's a big, very important distinction ... What we're referring to is different. These are a lot of the more optional tasks that still fill our plate, that still cause mental overwhelm and burden. I have used ChatGPT as well for navigating conversations in anticipation for having it. And so there's all sorts of ways you can do it. And if that is the case, that's an important discussion for you to have with your personal \"board of directors\". So the way I do it typically is if there something I don't want to do, I think about the stakes of this. Like, is this something where if I say no or I quit, my supervisor would be upset or disappointed? It would impact my salary, my promotion? Dr Resa Lewiss, co-author and emergency medicine physician: There's a really good graphic in the book where we talk about automating, delegating, and there are a few others, and some things can just be taken off the plate. Let's say you want to train up someone who hasn't learned this skill that you no longer really are feeling it and you actually don't need it for doing the core roles and responsibilities of your job. By taking things off the plate that leaves opportunity for more things, or for you to actually do some more of that deliberate rest. Listen to more episodes here .

      • "content": "FLOURTOWN, Pa. - With all due respect to the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the PGA Tour's lone team event, the Truist Championship was Rory McIlroy's first real test of golf since winning the Masters. The five-time major winner tied for seventh at 10 under par at the Philadelphia Cricket Club, six shots off Sepp Straka's winning score. McIlroy said entering the week that he was \"excited to get back to being a golfer\" and figure out where his game is at entering the second major of the year, the PGA Championship. Consider that task complete. \"I think I'm in a good place,\" the Northern Irishman said Sunday. \"I didn't feel like I played all that well this week, I still finished seventh. Even my - what I feel is my bad golf, I'm still there or thereabouts. \"A couple little improvements and little tweaks, especially going to a place I love like Quail Hollow, and I feel like I'm in a really good spot.\" McIlroy shot in red figures all week, capped by Sunday's 2-under 68 with 16 pars and two birdies. He did not make a bogey or worse over his final 28 holes of the tournament, but thought he missed several chances to climb the leaderboard. \"Overall I felt like I got a little better as the week went on, played good,\" McIlroy said. \"As you said, bogey-free. I wish I'd made a few more birdies. I've got a better gauge of where my game is standing here right now than I did at the start of the week. It was a good week for that. \"I wish I had gotten myself into contention a little bit more, but it was a good week, especially looking ahead to next week.\" McIlroy birdied the first hole Sunday but had to scramble for pars the rest of the front nine, mainly due to wayward drives. He hit only five fairways in regulation out of 14, following a surprising 3-for-14 performance on Saturday. McIlroy theorized that wide-open fairways at the club's Wissahickon Course may have actually thrown him off. \"I sort of struggled with this in Houston as well, whenever we get these big, wide-open golf courses where there's not a ton of definition,\" he said. \"I think I would have hit more fairways if it had been tree lined. I felt like I drove it a little better on the back nine today, which was good.\" He won't have to worry about course fit at the PGA Championship. Quail Hollow Club usually hosts the Truist Championship (formerly called the Wells Fargo Championship). McIlroy has won at Quail Hollow four times, including last year. His fans were out in full force weeks after his historic Masters win. McIlroy was the most popular player on the property all week, and children screamed for his autograph as he concluded his media duties. \"They're very enthusiastic,\" McIlroy said of the Philadelphia fans. \"They're loud. They're relentless in terms of like ... I must have heard my name a million times this week.\" -Adam Zielonka, Field Level Media",

      • "description": "The Dragon Boat Festival falls on May 31, and from now till then, it is dumpling galore.",
      • "content": "There is so much to love about rice dumplings: The excitement of unwrapping the fragrant bamboo leaf package, that first bite of sticky glutinous rice, and the thrill of getting to the hearty filling with all those familiar and/or over-the-top ingredients. Now that the Dragon Boat Festival is near, there’s a whole world of rice dumpling , plump with all sorts of fillings designed to keep drawing you in while ignoring your burgeoning waistline — it’s a once-a-year indulgence, we tell ourselves as we take yet another bite. Amidst the glut of offerings, we picked out some that we think are worth a gander. FENG SHUI INN For a decidedly unique option, check out Feng Shui Inn’s Yunnan Wild Mushroom and Fish Maw Dumpling that comes as part of a six-piece dumpling gift set (S$128). Wild porcini and sarcodon imbricatus, said to be sourced from the mountains in Yunnan, are paired with fish maw and other premium ingredients like abalone, scallops and salted meat. The other rice dumplings in the set are Dried Seafood Steamed Dumplings and Trio Date Sweet Dumplings that feature honey dates, southern jujubes and red dates bound with red bean paste and stuffed within quinoa and pearl glutinous rice. HAI TIEN LO The richness of glutinous rice tends to mute the flavours of its filings, so it stands to reason that stronger flavours make for tastier rice dumplings. In that vein, Hai Tien Lo’s Salted Fish and Preserved Meat Rice Dumpling (S$24) sounds like it’ll be a flavour-packed option enriched with Spanish pork and peanuts for a touch of nutty sweetness. If you like pulut hitam, consider the Black Glutinous Nonya Rice Dumpling (S$22) that harbours the classic flavours of Nonya dumpling against the earthiness of black glutinous rice. LI BAI Kung Pao Chicken and Morel Mushroom Rice Dumpling (S$38) sounds like a great idea. It’s among the new offerings at Li Bai Cantonese Restaurant , along with a Teochew Beef Rice Dumpling ($48) and Lotus Paste Kansui Rice Dumpling ($38 for two). While the Kung Pao chicken rice dumpling is inspired by its namesake dish, it gets a jolt of umami from conpoy and dried shrimp. Cashew nuts and couscous impart a nice textural contrast. MADAME FAN American Ginseng, Black Beans and Wolfberry (S$18) sound like a wholesome combination, especially if you’re a vegetarian looking to enjoy a plant-based rice dumpling. This is one of a few unique flavours from modern Cantonese restaurant Madame Fan, which also has a Singapore-style Chilli Crab Rice Dumpling ($22) if you prefer seafood over meat in your rice dumpling. MAN FU YUAN Korean food fans will appreciate Man Fu Yuan’s Kimchi with Kurobuta Cured Meat and Mushroom (S$23.80) dumpling, which gives us flashes of tteokbokki in dumpling form. If you happen to be a vegetarian that misses the Nonya version, check out the restaurant’s Nonya-style Dumpling with Plant-based Meat ($22.80). PEACH BLOSSOMS Maximalists will appreciate Peach Blossom ’s Traditional Abalone, Preserved Vegetables and Pork Belly Rice Dumpling (S$38.80), a hefty 500g parcel that’ll make a satisfying meal for two. To feed up to four, try the Premium X.O. Cantonese Rice Dumpling filled with abalone, Hong Kong dried oyster, smoked duck, roasted pork, Kurobuta pork belly and other delicious things. PARADISE GROUP Expect the heady aroma of Paradise Group’s Black Truffle Honey BBQ Iberico Rice Dumpling to fill the room as soon as you begin unwrapping it. Although the pairing sounds like a stretch, the sweetness of the honey Iberico pork plays nicely against the musky black truffle. The popular restaurant chain also introduced a Braised Pork with Conpoy and Mushroom Rice Dumpling that’s only available as part of a gift set (S$72.80), which includes four other flavours like Abalone with Salted Pork Belly Brown Rice Dumpling and Osmanthus Gula Melaka Red Bean Paste. SHANG PALACE Shang Palace’s elegant riff on classic Teochew-style dumpling pairs Red Fermented Bean Curd Pork Belly with Peanut Rice (S$29.20). The result is lush and earthy, with a distinct savoury depth from the fermented bean curd. Those who prefer the classics can revisit Shang Palace’s Signature Barbecued Pork Rice Dumpling with Yunnan Ham and Conpoy (S$32.90), shaped like a golden pillow and rich with roasted duck, pork belly, black mushrooms and mung bean. WAN HAO It was only a matter of time before someone translated our newfound love for Sichuan green peppercorns to a rice dumpling. Cantonese restaurant Wan Hao has done it with its new Pork Trotter and Peanut with Sichuan Green Peppercorn (S$25). According to the restaurant, the pork trotters are braised for about 90 minutes before it is marinated in the green peppercorn sauce to imbue it with numbing kick. The rice parcels are then stuffed with this filling and and poached for several hours to lock in all those robust flavours. YI BY JEREME LEUNG",

      • "content": "( MENAFN - IANS) Seoul, May 12 (IANS) The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) will hold its first high-level meeting next week over human rights abuses and violations by North Korea, diplomatic and civic group sources said Monday. In a circulated letter, UNGA President Philemon Yang announced a plan to convene a high-level plenary meeting on May 20 to address North Korea's human rights violations, in accordance with a relevant UNGA resolution adopted in December last year, the sources said. It marks the first time that a high-level meeting on the North Korean human rights situation will be hosted by the UNGA, Yonhap news agency reported. A previous high-level meeting on the subject, held in September 2014 during a UNGA session, was hosted by the South Korean and US governments along with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. No new sanctions against North Korea have been passed since 2018. In May 2022, Russia and China vetoed a new sanctions package proposed by the United States in response to North Korean ballistic missile tests, a violation of UN sanctions. A foreign ministry official told Yonhap News Agency that the ministry is currently reviewing options to dispatch a senior official from Seoul, the top envoy to the UN or another representative to the meeting.

      • "content": "( MENAFN - Live Mint) Following two days of trade negotiations in Switzerland, the lead US negotiator expressed optimism about resolving tensions between the world's two largest economies, praising the talks as“a great deal of productivity.” According to Reuters, this comes after US President Donald Trump's imposition of steep tariffs on China, which prompted Beijing to take retaliatory measures, Reuters reported. Also Read: New China deal to help reduce US's 'massive $1.2 trillion trade deficit,' says official U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated on Sunday that the discussions made“substantial progress,” though he provided few details about the specific issues covered in the negotiations. He said more details would come at a briefing Monday. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer suggested that an agreement had been reached but provided no details. He and Bessent briefly addressed reporters once talks had wrapped at the stately villa that serves as the residence of the Swiss ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, but did not take questions., according to a report by Reuters. “It's important to understand how quickly we were able to come to agreement, which reflects that perhaps the differences were not so large as far as maybe thought,” Greer said. But he also stressed that a top Trump priority means closing the U.S. trade deficit with China, which came to a record $263 billion last year. “We're confident that the deal we struck with our Chinese partners will help us to resolve, work towards resolving that national emergency,” Greer said. Also Read: Trump Hails Progress After First Day of US-China Trade Talk 'Devil in detail' White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later clarified that the United States would not lower tariffs unilaterally. China would also need to make concessions, she said, as reported by AFP. \"It's definitely encouraging,\" Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) vice president Wendy Cutler told AFP on Sunday after the talks had concluded. \"The two sides spent over 15 hours in discussions,\" she said. \"That's a long time for two countries to be meeting, and I view that as positive.\" But, she added,“the devil will be in the details.” The White House subsequently issued a statement titled,“U.S. Announces China Trade Deal in Geneva” but offering only the same quotes by Bessent and Greer. The Chinese delegation held a subsequent news conference where it described what occurred as“candid, in-depth and constructive dialogue.\" Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng said both sides had agreed to“establishing a consultation mechanism” for further discussions on trade and economic issues. China's negotiators also said that they and the U.S. team would be releasing a joint statement on Monday - though the timing was still uncertain. “I think, no matter when this statement is released, it's going to be good news for the world,” said Li Chenggang, the Chinese ambassador to the World Trade Organization. Beijing, however, appeared largely more measured about the negotiations' overall direction, noting in a Saturday night editorial published before the second day of negotiations kicked off, that it would“firmly reject any proposal that compromises core principles or undermines the broader cause of global equity.” Negotiations could go a long way toward stabilizing world markets roiled by the US-China standoff that has ships in port with goods from China unwilling to unload until they get final word on tariffs. Last month, US President Trump increased US tariffs on Chinese goods to a combined total of 145%, prompting China to respond with a 125% tariff on American imports.

Although the Trump administration has placed tariffs on multiple countries, the trade conflict with China has been the most severe. It's important to understand how quickly we were able to come to agreement, which reflects that perhaps the differences were not so large as far as maybe thought. Among the US tariffs on Chinese products is a 20% levy aimed at pressuring China to take stronger action against the export of the synthetic opioid fentanyl into the U.S. Also Read: Russia's Putin wants to negotiate an end to BLOODBATH, Ukraine should agree IMMEDIATELY: Trump's latest missiv We're confident that the deal we struck with our Chinese partners will help us to resolve, work towards resolving that national emergency Takeaways US and China show willingness to negotiate amidst high tariffs. A joint statement is expected to highlight future cooperation. The trade relationship is critical for stabilizing global markets.

As per the NCS, the earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10km, making it susceptible to aftershocks. In a post on X, the NCS said, \"EQ of M: 5.7, On: 12/05/2025 02:41:24 IST, Lat: 29.02 N, Long: 87.48 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Tibet.\" Earlier on May 8, an earthquake of magnitude 3.7 jolted the region. In a post on X, the NCS said, \"EQ of M: 3.7, On: 08/05/2025 20:18:41 IST, Lat: 29.20 N, Long: 87.02 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: Tibet.\" Shallow earthquakes like these are more dangerous than deeper ones due to their greater energy release closer to the Earth's surface. This causes stronger ground shaking and increased damage to structures and casualties, compared to deeper earthquakes, which lose energy as they travel to the surface. Also Read | Pakistan hit with 4.0 magnitude earthquake, fourth in recent weeks The Tibetan Plateau is known for its seismic activity due to tectonic plate collisions. Tibet and Nepal lie on a major geological fault line where the Indian tectonic plate pushes up into the Eurasian plate, and earthquakes are a regular occurrence as a result. The region is seismically active, causing tectonic uplifts that can grow strong enough to change the heights of the Himalayas' peaks, Al Jazeera reported. Also Read | Earthquake today: Tennessee hit by 4.1 magnitude quake, tremors felt in Atlanta \"Education about earthquakes and earthquake-resilient buildings combined with funding for retrofits and resilient structures can help protect people and buildings when strong earthquakes occur,\" Marianne Karplus, a seismologist and geophysicist, told Al Jazeera. \"The earth system is very complex, and we cannot predict earthquakes. However, we can conduct scientific studies to better understand what causes earthquakes in Tibet and to better understand the shaking and impacts resulting from earthquakes,\" Karplus, who is a professor of geological sciences at the University of Texas at El Paso, told Al Jazeera.

      • "content": "A festival of pouring water on banyan trees dedicated to sacred Bo trees in commemoration of the Buddha Day which falls on the full moon of Kason 1387 Myanmar Era was held at the Maha Bodhi banyan tree in the precinct of Maravijaya Buddha Park in Nay Pyi Taw Union Territory yesterday afternoon. Chairman of the State Administration Council Prime Minister Senior General Min Aung Hlaing and his wife Daw Kyu Kyu Hla watered the Maha Bodhi banyan tree. Before the ceremony, the Senior General and his wife offered flowers, water and oil lamps to the Maravijaya Buddha Image. The Senior General and his wife, SAC Vice-Chairman Deputy Prime Minister Vice-Senior General Soe Win and his wife Daw Than Than Nwe, the Council Secretary and his wife, the Joint Secretary and his wife, council members and their wives, Union-level dignitaries and their wives sprayed scented water and poured water on the Maha Bodhi banyan tree. Yogies from religious association members also sprayed scented water and poured water on the Maha Bodhi banyan tree. Under the patronage of the Senior General and his wife, Vice-Senior General Soe Win and his wife, Chief of the General Staff (Army, Navy and Air) General Kyaw Swa Lin and his wife, Commander-in-Chief (Navy) Admiral Htein Win and his wife, Commander-in-Chief (Air) General Tun Aung and his wife, senior Tatmadaw officers from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief (Army, Navy and Air) and their wives, officers, warrant officers, corporals and other ranks and their families poured water on banyan trees at Lawkachantha Hsutaungpyae Pagoda in Zeyathiri Township. Also present at the ceremony were, Union ministers and their wives, the Nay Pyi Taw Council Chairman, the commander of Nay Pyi Taw Command, officials and religious associations. The full moon of Kason is the most significant one in Buddhism. It shows religiously prominent occurrences, stating that hermit Sumeda, the embryo Buddha, accepted a great prediction of Dipankara Buddha to become the Gotama Buddha in the Badda world. Moreover, Prince Siddhattha was born on the full moon day of Kason. The Gotama Buddha-to-be attained the Supreme Enlightenment at dawn of Kason full moon day. The Gotama Buddha attained Parinibbana on the full moon day of Kason. As such, these occurrences were recorded as the great prediction, birthing, enlightenment and Parinibbana. As such, Buddhists set the full moon day of Kason as a sacred day as the day becomes the greatest occurrences not only for Lord Gotama Buddha but for all Lord Buddhas. The water-pouring festival at banyan trees on full moon of Kason is not only a joyous and spiritually uplifting religious event worthy of merit, but also a celebration held as part of Myanmar’s cultural heritage. According to reports, the day before the full moon of Kason, it is customary to spray fragrant scented water on the banyan trees that will be watered during the festival, and to prepare the sacred Bodhi tree platform to appear serene and dignified — activities regarded as meritorious deeds. — MNA/TTA",

      • "description": "Children and adults injured in the River Valley fire began arriving at hospitals in the morning of Apr 8, triggering a swift and coordinated emergency response.",
      • "content": "SINGAPORE: Just a few hours into her shift on the morning of Apr 8, nurse Lim Zi Ying at KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) was pulled from her routine duties to respond to an emergency of unprecedented scale in her 21 years of service. A shophouse along River Valley Road, just 1.8km from the hospital, had caught fire . Inside, multiple people – including children – were trapped. Videos of the rescue, showing victims perched precariously on a narrow ledge on the second storey, quickly went viral and gripped the nation. By late morning, 22 people – 16 children and six adults – had been transported to hospitals. Among them was a 10-year-old Australian girl who later died from her injuries . KKH, located along Bukit Timah Road, and Singapore General Hospital (SGH) at Outram were among the hospitals that received casualties from the blaze. EMERGENCY PROCESSES TRIGGERED Ms Lim, a senior nurse clinician at KKH's Children's Emergency, steeled herself for what proved to be an intense few hours. She and her team raced to prepare the resuscitation room in the emergency department, activating equipment and laying out medication. Casualties from the blaze began arriving via ambulances at around 10.45am. The hospitals cannot reveal the number of casualties they received or the extent of their injuries, but Associate Professor Sashikumar Ganapathy, the head of KKH's emergency medicine department, told CNA that casualties arrived in batches until past noon. He described the logistical challenge of managing an unknown number of incoming casualties. \"But that is part of the training right? We are trained to be ready,\" said Assoc Prof Ganapathy, who is also deputy chairman of the hospital's medicine division. It was his first time receiving paediatric casualties from a fire of such a scale, he said. Over the next few hours, more than nine medical departments were activated, including ear, nose and throat specialists, paediatric anaesthetists and plastic surgeons. Fire-related injuries can lead to severe inhalation trauma in children, making airway management a top priority. For children, it falls to the paediatric anaesthesia team to ensure that the respiratory tract functions normally and the patient's breathing is not obstructed. Treatment included administering medication via face masks, inserting IV lines, managing pain and stabilising breathing. As the leading nurse, Ms Lim also coordinated with senior management to ensure sufficient manpower and resource allocation, while supporting both staff and patients on the ground. Despite it being her first time as the leading nurse in an incident of this scale, Ms Lim said she is grateful that everything went smoothly. \"My training in emergency nursing and also dealing with mass casualty incidents has allowed me to be able to stay calm and composed in this kind of situations,\" she added. Among those called into action was Dr Gale Lim, head of the department of plastic, reconstructive and aesthetic surgery, who had experience managing mass casualties from a coffee shop gas explosion a decade ago. When casualties from River Valley began arriving, the first thing she did was to organise and activate a team of about five doctors and up to eight nurses, who were split between the Children's Emergency and the ICU, where they saw to burn wounds. She knew exactly what they had to do – \"carefully and systematically assess\" every patient. Her team followed a careful process: removing temporary dressings, assessing and documenting each wound, before “scrubbing down” – where a layer of the patient's dead skin is removed and the area cleaned up before it is dressed. Doctors typically assess the percentage of total body surface area burns and the depth of burns, before coming up with a treatment plan. More serious wounds could require surgery such as skin grafting, where dead tissue is replaced with healthy skin from another part of the body. PREPARING FOR THE UNKNOWN At SGH, the arrival of paediatric patients – uncommon at the adult-focused hospital – required rapid adaptation. Nurse clinician Muqtasidatum Mustaffa said the situation was complicated by not knowing how many patients to expect. \"There was a lot of uncertainty. We just had to prepare our resources, prepare our manpower,\" she said. Emergency medicine specialist Dr Fua Tzay-Ping added: \"It's always good to over-prepare ... from past experience, details may follow as the situation unfolds.\" The hospital converted areas within its critical care zone to make room for incoming casualties, moving existing patients elsewhere in the department. Staff prepped child-sized equipment and dosages and deployed airway teams, plastic surgeons and neonatology staff before the first ambulance arrived. It was the largest number of casualties from a fire that she had ever dealt with in her more than 20 years at SGH, Ms Muqtasidatum said. \"In the back of my mind, I knew that it was going to be a very stressful and challenging situation where we needed to get our resources correct,\" she said. \"We'd have to make quick decisions.\" To streamline care, a senior physician and senior nurse were assigned to specific cases, with an additional nurse circulating to assist. Once stabilised, paediatric patients were transferred to KKH for further treatment. WAVE OF SADNESS While clinical focus remained the priority during the emergency, emotional tolls emerged later. \"Caring for the surge of critically ill paediatric patients was mentally challenging as many of the staff are parents of young children as well,\" said Dr Fua. The hospital conducted a debrief to help staff process the event. Dr Fua described a wave of sadness that came after her shift, once she watched the viral videos of the fire. \"When we are working ... you just think of it as a fire,\" she said. But the human cost became real later, and she \"felt very deep sadness for all those who were affected\". She is relieved that her team managed to do its best for every victim, and remains grateful to bystanders who helped in the rescue . \"If not for the public and migrant workers, I think we would probably have more casualties.\"",
