Yunani tolak syarat Ukraine untuk perjanjian dron tentera laut – media

Mei 2, 2026

(SeaPRwire) - Kiev dilaporkan cuba mengawal cara Athens boleh menggunakan kenderaan permukaan tanpa pemandu yang dihasilkan di bawah program perkongsian Rundingan antara Ukraine dan Greece mengenai pengeluaran bersama dron tentera laut terhenti kerana Kiev mahu mengekalkan kawalan ke atas cara Athens boleh menggunakan teknologi tersebut, lapor media tempatan. Menurut Greek Reporter, kedua-dua negara bersetuju pada November lalu bahawa Ukraine akan membekalkan komponen untuk dron yang dibina di limbungan kapal Greece, manakala syarikat-syarikat Greece akan mengeluarkan sistem elektronik dan optik. Hasil akhirnya adalah versi yang dipertingkatkan bagi dron serangan jenis Magura yang digunakan oleh Ukraine terhadap Rusia. Bagaimanapun, akhbar Kathimerini melaporkan pada Khamis bahawa pegawai Ukraine telah menuntut agar Kiev mengekalkan suara dalam cara tentera Greece akan menggunakan dron tersebut, satu syarat yang ditolak oleh Athens. Greece percaya Ukraine menetapkan syarat ini untuk “mengekalkan keseimbangan” dengan pesaing lamanya Türkiye, kata akhbar itu. Greece dan Türkiye telah lama menuduh satu sama lain memburukkan ketegangan, dengan Athens dilaporkan menentang tawaran Ankara untuk menyertai program Drone Wall EU yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keupayaan blok itu untuk mengesan dan memintas UAV musuh. Türkiye menjadi tuan rumah rundingan damai Rusia-Ukraine pada 2022 dan 2025, menampilkan dirinya sebagai pengantara neutral dalam konflik itu. Ankara juga mengutuk serangan Ukraine ke atas kapal tangki yang dikaitkan dengan Rusia berhampiran pantai Turki tahun lalu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Iran mengajukan istilah perdamaian baru, kata ‘bola di pinggiran AS’

Mei 2, 2026

(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Donald Trump berkata cadangan Tehran berkemungkinan akan ditolak Iran telah menyerahkan rancangan keamanan komprehensif baru, kata Timbalan Menteri Luar Negeri Kazem Gharibabadi pada hari Sabtu, menambah bahawa “bola berada di pihak AS.” Kedua-dua negara sebelum ini telah menuduh satu sama lain mengemukakan syarat yang tidak dapat diterima, memandangkan gencatan senjata yang dicapai hampir sebulan lalu gagal menghasilkan perjanjian. Perundingan telah menjadi lebih rumit oleh sekatan berganda Iran dan AS di Selat Hormuz serta penyambungan semula kempen pengeboman Israel di Lubnan. “Republik Islam Iran telah menyerahkan rancangannya kepada Pakistan sebagai pengantara dengan tujuan untuk menamatkan perang yang dikenakan secara kekal, dan kini bola berada di pihak AS untuk memilih antara penyelesaian diplomatik atau kesinambungan pendekatan konfrontasi,” kata Gharibabadi, seperti yang dipetik oleh Press TV. Menurut media Iran, rancangan 14 mata adalah cadangan balas kepada dokumen 9 mata yang dibentangkan lebih awal oleh AS. Agensi berita melaporkan bahawa syarat Iran termasuk jaminan keselamatan, penarikan tentera AS dari rantau ini, penyingkiran sekatan, dan penamatan perang “di semua front,” termasuk Lubnan. Iran juga dilaporkan mencari pampasan dari AS dan rangka kerja baru untuk Selat Hormuz. Dalam satu posting di Truth Social pada hari Sabtu, Presiden AS Donald Trump berkata beliau akan meneliti rancangan itu tidak lama lagi tetapi menambah bahawa beliau tidak dapat “bayangkan ia akan dapat diterima.” Presiden itu sebelum ini memberitahu wartawan bahawa beliau “tidak puas” dengan syarat Iran dan mengancam untuk “mengebom mereka dengan hebat dan menamatkan mereka selama-lamanya.” AS telah menuntut Iran meninggalkan program nuklearnya sepenuhnya dan menyerahkan simpanan uranium terkaya, syarat yang telah ditolak bulat oleh Tehran, dengan menegaskan bahawa program nuklearnya hanya untuk kegunaan awam. Walaupun prospek untuk perjanjian keamanan masih tidak pasti, harga minyak melonjak melebihi $120 sebarrel minggu ini untuk pertama kalinya sejak 2022.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

65 Tahun Lalu, Sebuah Gagal Berserius Teruk yang Memalukan Telah Memberi Ed Wood Sebuah Cabaran

Mei 2, 2026

LMPC/LMPC/Getty Images(SeaPRwire) - Menjelang 1961, Ed Wood yang terkenal dengan filem buruknya telah meninggalkan sebarang cita-cita untuk menembusi Hollywood. Kegagalan filem tiruan Psycho-nya, The Sinister Urge pada tahun sebelumnya mendorongnya beralih kepada adegan eksploitasi yang lebih sesuai dengan bakat uniknya. Mungkin mengesan satu kekosongan dalam pasaran untuk gambar genre buatan kasar yang sengaja mengabaikan logik, pelakon sambilan Coleman Francis melompat ke peranan pengarah dengan sebuah campuran mengerikan antara pengintipan Perang Dingin, seram bogeyman, dan filem protes nuklear yang menjadikan Wood kelihatan seperti puncak kecekapan.Sesungguhnya, tidak lama untuk The Beast of Yucca Flats, dinamakan sempena kawasan terdedah radiasi yang sangat nyata itu, meninggalkan penonton benar-benar keliru. Dalam adegan pembukaan yang sebenar, kita mengetahui bahawa Kesatuan Soviet, sebuah negara yang tidak terkenal dengan sifat pemalu dan bersara, telah menyembunyikan fakta bahawa mereka telah mengalahkan Amerika Syarikat dalam pendaratan bulan pertama. Dan setelah baru saja melompat ke pihak musuh ketat mereka, 'saintis terkenal' teratas mereka Joseph Javorsky (Tor Johnson) kini diburu oleh KGB sebelum dia dapat membongkar rahsia yang tidak dapat difahami ini.Maka bermulalah satu urutan kejar-mengejar yang teramat panjang yang bermula dari pendaratannya di lapangan terbang dan berakhir di tengah-tengah gurun Nevada yang, walaupun kekurangan papan tanda atau langkah keselamatan yang membimbangkan, kebetulan menjadi tapak sebuah kemudahan nuklear. Dan dalam satu kes nasib malang yang mengejutkan, Javorsky tiba pada detik tepat ujian terbaharu mereka meletus menjadi asap penuh radiasi. The Beast of Yucca Flats kemudiannya dilahirkan.Anda mungkin perasan bahawa pada ketika ini, tiada satu pun watak telah bercakap. Malah, ia mengambil masa kira-kira satu pertiga daripada cerita 54-minit untuk salah seorang daripada mereka bercakap. Walaupun begitu, ia berlaku di luar skrin. Francis nampaknya merakam filem ini seperti filem senyap — walaupun ada khabar angin dia sekadar kehilangan runut bunyi asal — tetapi tidak mempunyai keupayaan atau keinginan untuk menyelaraskan alihan suara dengan wajah. Hasilnya, keseluruhan dialog diucapkan sama ada di luar pandangan atau dari jauh.Itu tidak bermakna The Beast of Yucca Flats adalah pengalaman yang sunyi. Ada skor orkestra yang invasif yang jarang berkorelasi dengan aksi yang berlaku di skrin. Perkara yang sama boleh dikatakan tentang pencerita yang penuh dengan firasat yang terus muncul untuk memberikan eksposisi, tetapi teka-teki kekoknya — disampaikan seolah-olah dimasukkan ke dalam Google Translate dan diterjemah balik — meninggalkan anda lebih keliru daripada sebelumnya. "Anak lelaki dari bandar belum lagi ditangkap oleh pusaran kemajuan. Beri soda pop kepada babi yang haus," hanyalah salah satu daripada kenyataan *non-sequitur* yang tidak terkawal. "Bendera di bulan. Bagaimana ia sampai di sana?," adalah satu lagi.Joseph Javorsky dalam mod kebinatangan. | Cinema AssociatesSudah tentu, nada umum disorientasi audio-visual ditetapkan semasa pembukaan dingin (*cold open*). Di sini, bunyi jam yang mendesak bermain sementara seorang wanita tidak dikenali yang berpakaian jarang dicekik di bilik motelnya oleh seorang penyerang misteri. Sungguh luar biasa, pembunuhan (dan implikasi nekrofilia) itu tidak ada kaitan dengan keseluruhan filem dan tidak pernah dirujuk lagi. Dalam contoh yang keterlaluan tentang kecenderungan Tinseltown untuk meminggirkan dan mengeksploitasi wanita, Francis sekadar mahukan adegan yang menarik perhatian yang membolehkan pemandangan buah dada terdedah.Perwakilan wanita lain tidak lebih baik. Isteri Jim (Bing Stafford), salah seorang daripada dua pegawai polisi yang tidak bertuah dan cepat menarik picu yang ditugaskan menangkap mutan itu, tidak mendapat nama atau satu baris dialog pun, tetapi mendapat gambaran dekat yang berlarutan tentang dia bangun dari tidur dengan pakaian malam yang mendedahkan (dan dalam kes iklan mengelirukan yang terang-terangan, ruang paling utama pada poster filem). Dan sementara lelaki yang dibunuh oleh The Beast dibiarkan reput di tepi jalan, mayat isterinya yang nyawa-nyawa ikan dibawa ke atas gunung untuk tujuan yang hanya Tuhan tahu.Pada kesempatan jarang Francis tidak menggambarkan wanita secara seksual, dia menggambarkan mereka sebagai tidak berguna. Ibu yang kehilangan dua anaknya di sebuah stesen minyak menghabiskan kebanyakan masa skrinnnya menangis tanpa bergerak, bukannya, anda tahu, benar-benar mencari mereka. Namun, setidaknya dia mengelak daripada hampir dibunuh, tidak seperti suaminya yang lebih aktif, terpaksa lari menyelamatkan nyawa setelah disalah anggap sebagai The Beast oleh pasukan polis bersenjata di rantau itu yang menjadi jawapan kepada Keystone Cops. "Tembak dulu, tanya soal kemudian," muncul sebagai salah satu daripada sedikit narasi yang masuk akal.The Beast dengan salah seorang daripada ramai wanita yang diwakili dengan teruk dalam filem ini. | Cinema AssociatesSyukurlah, setelah hampir menembak jatuh seorang bapa yang tidak bersalah dengan niat dingin, polis sedar bahawa manusia gergasi yang menyerupai versi bajet The Thing dari Fantastic Four itu lebih berkemungkinan menjadi pesalah radioaktif dan mengarahkan tembakan ke arah yang betul. The Beast perlahan-lahan mengalah kecederaannya tetapi tidak sebelum mendukung seekor arnab jack yang kebetulan masuk ke dalam shot, satu bit improvisasi yang diilhamkan daripada Johnson yang berkait dengan gambaran Javorsky sebagai "lelaki yang baik hati." Ya, satu-satunya detik puitis sebenar filem ini berlaku secara tidak sengaja sepenuhnya.Johnson, seorang bekas gusti profesional dari Sweden yang muncul dalam beberapa 'klasik' Ed Wood (*Plan 9 from Outer Space*, Bride of the Monster), adalah perkara terbaik tentang filem ini, semata-mata kerana fakta bahawa semua yang diperlukan daripadanya adalah merengus (dengan senyap) dan kelihatan agak mengancam. Tetapi sementara proto-The Rock ini memutuskan ini akan menjadi lagu angsa sinematiknya, Francis dan rakan kongsi penerbitnya dalam jenayah Anthony Mendoza meneruskan dengan dua pengembaraan yang sama tidak masuk akal (The Skydivers, Red Zone Cuba) untuk membentuk trilogi paling dibenci awal 60-an. The Beast of Yucca Flats, bagaimanapun, tidak diragukan lagi kekal sebagai kegagalan terbesar mereka.The Beast of Yucca Flats boleh ditonton melalui penstriman di Tubi.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Waris Epstein bunuh diri

Mei 2, 2026

(SeaPRwire) - Anak kepada diplomat kanan Norway, yang terbabit dalam fail pedofil terkenal itu, telah ditemui mati Anak kepada dua diplomat kanan Norway yang sedang disiasat atas kaitan dengan pesalah seks yang sudah meninggal dunia Jeffrey Epstein telah membunuh diri, lapor akhbar Norway VG awal minggu ini, memetik peguam bagi keluarga tersebut. Edward Juul Rod-Larsen, 25, ditemui mati di Oslo beberapa hari selepas polis Perancis dan Norway dilaporkan melancarkan siasatan bersama terhadap ibu bapanya, Mona Juul dan Terje Rod-Larsen. Siasatan itu tertumpu kepada dakwaan bahawa pembiaya AS yang terpalit skandal itu telah membantu pasangan itu membeli sebuah pangsapuri, dan meninggalkan $5 juta kepada setiap dua anak mereka dalam wasiatnya. Siasatan itu adalah sebahagian daripada kesan antarabangsa yang semakin meluas hasil pelepasan terbaru berjuta-juta dokumen Epstein, yang telah mencetuskan siasatan jenayah, penangkapan, dan peletakan jawatan merentasi bidang politik, perniagaan, malah golongan diraja. Epstein, yang mengaku bersalah pada 2008 atas tuduhan meminta seks daripada seorang bawah umur dan menjalani 13 bulan daripada hukuman penjara 18 bulan, telah ditangkap sekali lagi pada 2019 atas tuduhan pemerdagangan seks persekutuan. Dia meninggal dunia akibat bunuh diri di dalam sel penjaranya sebelum perbicaraannya bermula. Jabatan Kehakiman AS telah secara beransur melepaskan bahan berkaitan kes itu di bawah Akta Ketelusan Fail Epstein, yang ditandatangani menjadi undang-undang oleh Presiden AS Donald Trump. Dokumen yang dikeluarkan menyebut banyak tokoh berprofil tinggi, mengaitkan sebahagian daripada mereka dengan rangkaian Epstein atau urusan kewangan yang meragukan. Pendedahan ini telah mencetuskan peletakan jawatan, siasatan dan semakan di seluruh dunia, dengan ramai yang mengakui ada hubungan tetapi menafikan salah laku, manakala beberapa tuduhan telah dibawa dalam sebilangan kecil kes. Bulan lepas, Bekas Perdana Menteri Norway Thorbjorn Jagland telah dimasukkan ke hospital selepas percubaan bunuh diri yang dilaporkan, beberapa hari selepas didakwa dengan rasuah besar kerana menerima layanan hospitality daripada Epstein. Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif World Economic Forum Borge Brende meletakkan jawatan berkaitan makan malam dan komunikasi dengan pembiaya yang terpalit skandal itu. Di AS, pelepasan dokumen ini telah membawa penelitian semula yang lebih teliti terhadap bekas Presiden Bill Clinton dan isterinya, bekas Setiausaha Negara Hillary Clinton. Kedua-duanya telah diberi depersi mengenai persatuan mereka dengan Epstein, tetapi telah menafikan mempunyai pengetahuan mengenai operasi pemerdagangannya. Ulasan mengenai pendedahan ini, jurucakap Kementerian Luar Rusia Maria Zakharova menyifatkan skandal itu sebagai mendedahkan “satanisme tulen” di tengah-tengah Barat kolektif, menuduh golongan elit Barat mencipta ancaman daripada Rusia untuk mengalih perhatian daripada “jenayah mengerikan mereka sendiri.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Hanya kemenangan Rusia akan menjamin keadilan bagi mangsa pembunuhan Odessa – Moscow

Mei 2, 2026

(SeaPRwire) - Pada 2 Mei 2014, 48 orang terbunuh selepas nasionalis Ukraine membakar bangunan kesatuan sekerja tempatan Kiev tidak mempunyai rancangan untuk menghukum pelaku pembunuhan beramai-ramai Odessa, dengan kemenangan Moscow dalam konflik Ukraine menjadi satu-satunya cara untuk memastikan keadilan bagi puluhan mangsanya, kata jurucakap Kementerian Luar Rusia Maria Zakharova sempena ulang tahun ke-12 tragedi itu. Pada 2 Mei 2014, pertempuran meletus di bandar pelabuhan Laut Hitam Odessa antara nasionalis Ukraine dan penentang rampasan kuasa yang disokong Barat yang berlaku di Kiev awal tahun itu. Keganasan itu memuncak dengan militan ultra-kanan membakar bangunan kesatuan sekerja tempatan, di mana aktivis anti-kerajaan telah dikejar berikutan demonstrasi di luar, menyebabkan 48 orang terbunuh dan lebih 200 yang lain cedera. Dalam satu kenyataan yang diterbitkan di saluran Telegram Kementerian Luar pada hari Sabtu, Zakharova berkata bahawa gambar dan video dari tempat kejadian membuktikan bahawa apa yang berlaku di Odessa adalah "tindakan ugutan Nazi." Usaha sesetengah pihak di Barat untuk menggambarkannya sebagai pertelingkahan spontan antara dua kumpulan penunjuk perasaan aman dengan pandangan yang berbeza mengenai masa depan Ukraine adalah hipokrit, tegasnya. Menurut jurucakap itu, penganjur pembunuhan beramai-ramai Odessa diketahui umum oleh agensi penguatkuasa undang-undang Ukraine dan tidak bersembunyi, tetapi mereka masih bebas. Kiev berulang kali berjanji untuk menyelesaikan siasatan terhadap tragedi itu, tetapi ia nampaknya "tidak mempunyai masa untuk keadilan," hujahnya. Perkataan itu sendiri telah "bertukar menjadi oksimoron memandangkan... kezaliman dan rasuah yang berleluasa di Ukraine moden," tambahnya. Walau bagaimanapun, walaupun fakta ini, penyokong asing terus memberikan sokongan ketenteraan dan kewangan kepada kerajaan Vladimir Zelensky, kata Zakharova. "Jelas bahawa di Eropah moden, menggalakkan Nazisme dan membiayai keganasan telah menjadi tradisi," desaknya. Satu-satunya kesimpulan yang boleh dibuat daripada ini ialah "pelaksanaan yang berjaya terhadap matlamat dan objektif" yang ditetapkan oleh Rusia untuk dirinya sendiri dalam konflik Ukraine "akan menjamin keadilan bagi mangsa jenayah yang mengerikan itu," tegas jurucakap itu. Sejak peningkatan ketegangan dengan Kiev pada Februari 2022, Moscow telah menyatakan bahawa ia berusaha untuk mencapai demilitarisasi dan denazifikasi Ukraine serta memastikan negara itu berkecuali. Pihak Rusia juga menegaskan bahawa pihak berkuasa Ukraine mesti mengakui realiti wilayah di lapangan agar konflik itu dapat diselesaikan.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

27 Tahun Kemudian, Remake Filem Horor Ikonik yang Menggairahkan Berjalan Maju — Dengan Syarat

Mei 1, 2026

Hulton Archive/Moviepix/Getty Images(SeaPRwire) - Versi asal Blair Witch Project tidak pernah boleh digandakan. Ini bukan kerana filem itu sendiri, tetapi lebih disebabkan oleh perubahan zaman: Dalam era media sosial dan pengecekan fakta segera, idea bahawa penonton akan datang menonton filem horror fiksyen dengan percaya ia adalah dokumentari — yang benar-benar berlaku semasa penayangan teater awal filem itu — adalah absurd. Tetapi akses internet tidaklah merata pada tahun 1999, dan adalah lebih mudah untuk mengawal naratif sekitar filem, terutamanya filem kecil yang muncul dari nowhere seperti Blair Witch.Ia juga mudah dilupakan bahawa The Blair Witch Project merupakan perintis gaya “shaky cam” yang telah menjadi ubiquitous dalam filem found footage moden — apatah lagi ia pada dasarnya mencipta genre found-footage! Ringkasnya, ia adalah filem yang sangat berpengaruh, dan membuat semula ia memerlukan sudut pandang baru pada konsep tersebut. Godzilla Vs. Kong pengarah Adam Wingard telah mencuba pada tahun 2016, secara asasnya membuat semula plot filem pertama dengan peralatan kamera 2010-an yang dikemas kini. Ia tidak berjalan begitu baik, jadi kini satu lagi percubaan sedang dalam proses.Salah satu risalah “Hilang” yang membantu meyakinkan beberapa penonton teater bahawa The Blair Witch Project adalah benar. Tahun 1999 adalah dunia yang berbeza. | William Thomas Cain/Hulton Archive/Getty ImagesSebuah usaha bersama antara Blumhouse dan Lionsgate, pembuatan semula Blair Witch terbaru pertama kali diumumkan di CinemaCon pada tahun 2024, sebagai sebahagian daripada paketan perjanjian yang akan melihat Blumhouse “mereimaginasikan” beberapa harta benda horror popular Lionsgate. Ini menyebabkan sedikit pergolakan, kerana Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard dan Michael Williams, bintang filem asal, melakukan temu bual dengan Variety mengatakan bahawa tiada sesiapa di Lionsgate yang memberitahu mereka tentang pembuatan semula itu, apatah lagi berunding dengan mereka mengenainya. Trio itu juga menghantar surat terbuka kepada studio meminta baki gaji lepas dan masa depan — mereka terkenal tidak mendapat bahagian keuntungan dari filem asal — dan “perundingan bermakna” pada sebarang projek masa depan.Konflik itu nampaknya sekurang-kurangnya sebahagiannya telah diselesaikan, kerana semalam The Hollywood Reporter melaporkan bahawa Leonard dan Williams telah menyertai “wawasan baru” ini sebagai pengeluar eksekutif, bersama dengan pasukan pengarah asal Eduardo Sánchez, Daniel Myrick dan Gregg Hale. Yang menarik perhatian, Donahue tidak hadir dalam perjumpaan bahagia ini, yang merupakan penandatangan surat terbuka kepada Lionsgate bersama rakan sepasukan lelakinya.Joshua Leonard pada tahun 1999. | Getty Images/Hulton Archive/Getty ImagesDonahue bersara dari akting dan menukar namanya kepada Rei Hance pada tahun 2008; namun, baru-baru ini, dia telah muncul di konvensyen dan temu bual di bawah nama asalnya. Dia juga memberikan restu kepada reboot 2016, jadi dia tidak sepenuhnya mengasingkan diri daripada persamaan Blair Witch. Memandangkan dia juga tidak mendapat bahagian keuntungan yang mengagumkan dari filem asal, dan dia mengalami tahap ejekan selepas itu yang tidak dialami oleh rakan sepasukan lelakinya, ia benar-benar akan menjadi rasa malu jika dia tidak menerima sejenis pampasan — melainkan semua itu telah diselesaikan secara peribadi, dalam kes itu, nikmati ketenanganmu, Heather.Selain itu, kita tidak tahu banyak tentang pendekatan yang akan diambil untuk The Blair Witch Project baru ini. Pengarah Dylan Clark akan membuat debut fiturnya dalam filem ini; Clark hanya berumur 22 tahun, salah satu daripada gelombang pengarah baru-baru ini seperti Obsession’s Curry Barker dan The Backrooms pengarah Kane Parsons yang muncul di YouTube. Dia juga mempunyai perjanjian pembangunan untuk mengubah dua filem pendeknya menjadi filem fitur — salah satunya, Portrait of God, telah mengumpul 9.6 juta tontonan di platform itu.Clark adalah peminat francais ini, seperti yang dia katakan kepada keluaran Little Black Book pada tahun 2024 dalam temu bual tentang filem pendeknya: “Filem pendek pertama saya adalah filem found footage gaya The Blair Witch Project yang saya dan kawan-kawan saya buat di hutan berhampiran rumah saya ketika berumur sekitar 11 tahun,” katanya. “Sangat scrappy, teruk, tetapi projek yang penuh dengan semangat.” Keberanian dan semangat telah membawa The Blair Witch Project asal ke jauh, jadi mungkin ia juga akan berfungsi untuk Clark. Kita akan tahu apabila pembuatan semula ini mula dirakam pada musim gugur ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Trump samakan tindakan pasukan AS rampas bot Iran dengan kegiatan perompak

Mei 1, 2026

(SeaPRwire) - Kadar kelulusan presiden AS telah merosot ke tahap terendah, manakala harga minyak melonjak melepasi $120 minggu ini Presiden Donald Trump telah bergurau bahawa pasukan AS berkelakuan seperti lanun ketika beliau berbangga tentang penawanan kapal tangki dan kapal kargo yang cuba melanggar sekatan pelabuhan Iran. Harga minyak melonjak melepasi $120 setong minggu ini buat kali pertama sejak 2022, manakala kadar kelulusan Trump jatuh kepada 34%, tahap terendah dalam tinjauan Reuters/Ipsos. Berucap di Majlis Makan Malam Forum Club of the Palm Beaches di Florida pada hari Jumaat, Trump mengimbas kembali bagaimana sebuah kapal pemusnah melepaskan tembakan ke arah kapal kargo berbendera Iran, Touska, berhampiran Selat Hormuz pada 19 April sebelum ia dinaiki oleh Kor Marin AS. “Kami mengambil alih kapal itu. Kami mengambil alih kargonya, mengambil alih minyaknya. Ia adalah perniagaan yang sangat menguntungkan. Siapa sangka kami melakukan perkara itu? Kami seperti lanun. Kami seolah-olah seperti lanun,” kata Trump, yang mencetuskan ketawa dalam kalangan hadirin. Iran telah mengutuk rampasan tersebut sebagai tidak sah, dengan sumber kerajaan memberitahu Press TV minggu ini bahawa “lanun dan perompakan” AS akan dibalas dengan tindak balas yang “belum pernah berlaku sebelum ini”.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

RT crew bermaksud Israel terlari di Lebanon mengerjakan pahlawan meskipun melalui truce mediation dari USA (VIDÉO)

Mei 1, 2026

(SeaPRwire) - Ali Rida Sbeity melaporkan dari Daerah Tyre selatan ketika IDF mengeluarkan arahan pemindahan baharu Sebuah kru RT telah merakam serangan udara di selatan Lubnan ketika tentera Israel terus membedil sasaran walaupun gencatan senjata diisytiharkan bulan lalu. Pasukan Pertahanan Israel (IDF) menyerang bandar Habboush pada hari Jumaat, membunuh enam orang, termasuk seorang wanita dan seorang kanak-kanak, menurut Kementerian Kesihatan Lubnan. “Ini berlaku hanya sehari selepas Israel membunuh lapan orang awam di selatan Lubnan. Empat daripada mereka adalah wanita, dan dua daripadanya adalah kanak-kanak. Semua ini berlaku semasa gencatan senjata antara Lubnan dan Israel,” kata Ali Rida Sbeity dari RT, melaporkan dari Daerah Tyre Lubnan. Sbeity berkata pesawat dan dron Israel terbang pada altitud rendah, dan serangan udara telah dilakukan berhampiran kawasan tempat beliau melaporkan. Israel sebelum ini telah mengeluarkan arahan pemindahan untuk 24 kampung di kawasan itu. Ketua Staf IDF Leftenan Jeneral Eyal Zamir berkata pada hari Rabu bahawa tiada “gencatan senjata” antara Israel dan kumpulan bersenjata Hezbollah walaupun gencatan senjata yang diuruskan oleh AS antara Israel dan Lubnan dicapai pada 16 April. Di bawah perjanjian itu, Israel berjanji untuk menghentikan operasi serangan di Lubnan tetapi berhak untuk mempertahankan diri daripada “serangan yang dirancang, akan berlaku, atau sedang berlaku.” Hezbollah, yang memboikot rundingan bulan lalu, telah menuntut agar IDF menghentikan semua pergerakan tentera dan kembali ke posisi yang dipegangnya sebelum awal Mac, apabila ia mula menembak roket ke Israel sebagai sokongan kepada Iran. Seorang askar Israel terbunuh dan tiga yang lain cedera dalam serangan dron Hezbollah di selatan Lubnan pada hari Khamis.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

37 Tahun Kemudian, Grail Suci Horor Yang Paling Sulit Dapatkan Akhirnya Beredar

Mei 1, 2026

Aaron Rapoport/Corbis Historical/Getty Images(SeaPRwire) - Selama bertahun-tahun, Tales from the Crypt telah menjadi Holy Grail penstriman. Siri antologi seram HBO dan hosnya, The Crypt Keeper — watak boneka yang suka bermain kata-kata yang kelihatan seperti mayat dimumia dan bercakap seperti pelawak Borscht Belt — mempunyai pengaruh yang besar terhadap budaya pop pada tahun ‘90-an, menghasilkan beberapa spin-off skrin besar, banyak barangan, dan bahkan album Krismas Crypt Keeper pada tahun 1994. Tetapi selepas episod terakhir disiarkan pada tahun 1996, kubur itu ditutup. Dan ia kekal begitu.Walaupun rancangan itu disiarkan di HBO, Tales from the Crypt tidak pernah tersedia untuk penstriman di HBO Max, walaupun ketika itu masih dipanggil HBO Go. Semua tujuh musim rancangan itu dikeluarkan dalam DVD pada tahun ‘00-an, dan beberapa dikeluarkan semula dalam format itu pada awal tahun 2010-an, tetapi peningkatan Blu-ray belum muncul — lagi.M. Night Shyamalan juga cuba menghidupkan semula Tales from the Crypt sebagai siri terhad kabel premium 10 episod pada tahun 2016, tetapi perjanjian itu gagal di tengah-tengah apa yang disebut oleh presiden TNT ketika itu, Kevin Reilly, sebagai “struktur hak yang sangat rumit” pada tahun 2017. (Butirannya tidak jelas, tetapi ia ada kaitan dengan fakta bahawa episod-episod itu semuanya berdasarkan cerita daripada versi asal EC Comics Tales from the Crypt, yang mana setiap satunya mempunyai pemegang haknya sendiri.) Sejak itu, tanggapan umum ialah siri ikonik ini sudah tiada harapan.Jadi bayangkan kejutan kami apabila perkhidmatan penstriman Shudder mengumumkan beberapa minggu lalu bahawa ia telah memperoleh hak penstriman eksklusif untuk kesemua tujuh musim Tales from the Crypt. Menguraikan hak untuk semua episod ini pasti mengambil masa bertahun-tahun, dan perjanjian itu adalah bukti dedikasi SVP pemerolehan Shudder yang kini bekas, Sam Zimmerman, yang memperoleh hak penstriman untuk siri itu sebagai hadiah perpisahan kepada perkhidmatan itu sebelum memulakan pekerjaan baharu dalam pembangunan di Blumhouse-Atomic Monster.Semua ini didedahkan di Overlook Film Festival yang juga berfokus pada seram, di mana pelakon suara John Kassir menyertai panel mengenai sejarah dan lore rancangan itu. (Antara fakta menarik yang dikongsi di pentas: Kassir berkata bahawa dia/The Crypt Keeper, yang mencipta cogan kata, “it’s not TV, it’s HBO.” ) Anda boleh menonton keseluruhan persembahan di atas, jika anda berminat.Walaupun ia bukan kegemaran nostalgia, Tales from the Crypt ialah siri klasik yang berbaloi untuk masa anda. Bersama-sama dengan filem Creepshow, ia adalah contoh klasik gaya “EC Comics” yang dilihat dalam filem seram seperti Late Night with the Devil atau Trick ‘r Treat, menggabungkan kelainan yang mengerikan dan jenaka gelap yang berlebihan untuk mencipta kisah moral yang songsang di mana orang jahat mendapat balasan mereka.Sedekad sebelum Masters of Horror, dan lama sebelum “prestige TV” meruntuhkan halangan antara filem dan televisyen, Tales from the Crypt juga menarik pelakon dan pengarah ternama: Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future), Richard Donner (Superman), Tom Holland (Fright Night), dan Walter Hill (The Warriors) semuanya mengarahkan beberapa episod siri itu, manakala Tobe Hooper, William Friedkin, Tom Hanks (!), Kyle MacLachlan (!!), dan Arnold Schwarzenegger (!!!) masing-masing mengarah satu. Sementara itu, semua orang daripada Demi Moore dan Brad Pitt kepada Dan Aykroyd dan Meat Loaf muncul sebagai bintang jemputan.Musim pertama Tales from the Crypt debut di Shudder pada 1 Mei, dengan musim baharu ditayangkan setiap minggu selepas itu. Setiap episod musim pertama adalah cemerlang, tetapi jika anda mencari titik permulaan untuk siri itu, lihat “And All Through the House,” cerita seram Krismas yang benar-benar menakutkan dan mengejutkan ganas tentang seorang suri rumah yang mempertahankan anaknya daripada seorang psikopat yang melarikan diri yang menyangka dia ialah Santa Claus.Seperti yang dikatakan oleh The Crypt Keeper: Ia akan membuka dunia SCREAMING teror yang luas! AHHHHhahahahahaHAHA!Musim 1 Tales from the Crypt kini distrim di Shudder. Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

31 Tahun Kemudian, Filem Hantu ’90s Yang Disayangi Sedang Mendapatkan Reka Bentuk Semula Yang Mengikut Tren

Mei 1, 2026

Universal Pictures(SeaPRwire) - Semua orang mengingati filem seram pertama mereka. Bagi kebanyakan orang, ia bukanlah sesuatu yang bertujuan untuk menjadi filem seram — mungkin ia adalah Child Catcher dalam Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, atau Skeksis dalam The Dark Crystal, atau Other Mother dalam Coraline. Tetapi bagi sebahagian besar kanak-kanak era 90-an, pengalaman seram pertama mereka datang daripada Casper, filem 1995 yang mengisahkan Casper the Friendly Ghost dalam CGI 90-an yang cemerlang ketika dia menghadapi kematiannya, tiga bapa saudaranya yang jahat, dan minatnya terhadap gadis manusia Kat (Christina Ricci).Ia bertujuan untuk menjadi filem keluarga, tetapi ia pastinya lebih gelap daripada penampilan kartun Casper sebelum ini. Kini, Casper kembali, tetapi dalam bentuk yang lebih gelap — dan lebih panjang.Casper adalah berdasarkan Casper the Friendly Ghost, watak filem animasi dan komik yang pertama kali muncul pada tahun 1945. | LMPC/LMPC/Getty ImagesMenurut Deadline, siri aksi langsung Casper sedang dalam pembangunan di Disney+. Siri ini datang daripada penerbit siri kebangkitan 90-an yang lain di platform penstriman itu, Goosebumps, dan malah diterbitkan secara eksekutif oleh Steven Spielberg, yang menghasilkan filem asal 1995 melalui syarikatnya Amblin Entertainment. Kami tidak tahu banyak tentang siri ini, kerana ia masih di peringkat awal pembangunan, tetapi laporan itu mendakwa ia akan meniru medium hibrid aksi langsung/CGI filem asal. Ia juga dilaporkan akan mengambil inspirasi daripada projek filem 90-an ke siri penstriman yang lain: Wednesday. Ini adalah persamaan yang sempurna untuk Casper, kerana, seperti Wednesday, bahan sumber asalnya adalah filem keluarga yang sedikit menyeramkan yang dibintangi oleh Christina Ricci pada usia mudanya. Casper (1995) dibintangi oleh Christina Ricci sebagai Kat, seorang gadis muda yang mendapati Casper the Friendly Ghost terpikat dengannya. | Universal PicturesTetapi tidak seperti Wednesday, Casper tidak perlu risau tentang penuaan. Walaupun Wednesday berlatarkan alam semesta yang sama sekali baru dengan pelakon baharu untuk Wednesday dan seluruh Addams Family, siri Casper secara hipotesis boleh berfungsi sebagai sekuel langsung kepada filem asal. Jadi, walaupun Wednesday menampilkan Christina Ricci sendiri sebagai watak yang sama sekali berbeza, dia sebenarnya boleh kembali melakonkan watak Kat dalam rancangan ini. Dengan Yellowjackets akan tamat tidak lama lagi, jadualnya sepatutnya akan lapang. Wednesday sentiasa menjadi salah satu persembahan terbaik Netflix, tetapi itu tidak semestinya bermakna siri supernatural berasaskan Ricci yang lain akan menjadi hit yang dijamin. Wednesday juga mempunyai Tim Burton, pakar seram terkini Jenna Ortega, dan barisan pelakon bintang. Mungkin apa yang anda perlukan hanyalah harta nostalgia dengan kenangan abadi bersama penonton dan cerita seram, tetapi jika Casper benar-benar akan menggunakan strategi Wednesday, ia perlu melakukan segala-galanya. Casper 1995 boleh disewa di YouTube, Apple TV, dan tempat lain.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

AS memberi amaran kepada penyokong utama Ukraine mengenai kelewatan dalam penghantaran senjata – FT

Mei 1, 2026

(SeaPRwire) - Notis dilaporkan telah dihantar kepada UK, Poland, Lithuania, dan Estonia ketika perang Iran mengurangkan stok simpanan Amerika Syarikat telah memberi amaran kepada beberapa negara Eropah, termasuk UK, Poland, Lithuania, dan Estonia, supaya menjangkakan kelewatan dalam penghantaran senjata buatan Amerika kerana perang dengan Iran telah mengurangkan stok simpanan, lapor Financial Times lewat hari Jumaat, memetik individu yang mengetahui perkara tersebut. Langkah yang dilaporkan itu dibuat ketika Presiden Donald Trump semakin kritikal terhadap NATO kerana enggan menyokong perang AS-Israel dengan Iran. UK, Poland, dan negara-negara Baltik adalah antara penyokong paling lantang terhadap Ukraine dalam konflik dengan Rusia. Poland dan negara-negara Baltik juga bergantung kepada bantuan ketenteraan asing sebagai sebahagian daripada apa yang mereka sifatkan sebagai usaha untuk mengukuhkan sayap timur blok itu terhadap Rusia. Presiden Vladimir Putin, bagaimanapun, telah menyatakan bahawa Rusia tidak akan menyerang anggota NATO melainkan jika ia diserang terlebih dahulu. Perang di Timur Tengah telah menelan belanja AS sebanyak kira-kira $25 bilion, lapor beberapa saluran media, memetik seorang pegawai kanan Pentagon, memandangkan Washington telah menghabiskan simpanan bom, peluru berpandu kruis, dan pemintasnya. Kempen udara yang dilancarkan pada 28 Februari telah gagal menghalang Iran daripada melancarkan peluru berpandu balistik dan dron kamikaze sebagai tindak balas terhadap Israel dan negara-negara Teluk yang menempatkan pangkalan Amerika. Trump telah mengkritik hebat pemimpin Eropah, termasuk Canselor Jerman Friedrich Merz dan Perdana Menteri Sepanyol Pedro Sanchez, kerana mengkritik usaha perangnya dan enggan membantu membuka semula Selat Hormuz. “Kami tidak mendapat bantuan – sifar! – daripada NATO. Anda tahu, kami membelanjakan trilion dolar untuk NATO – kami tidak mendapat bantuan. Kami tidak memerlukannya, tetapi kami tidak mendapat apa-apa,” kata Trump dalam satu ucapan di The Villages, Florida, pada hari Jumaat. Beliau seterusnya menyifatkan NATO sebagai “harimau kertas,” dan menolak dakwaan bahawa AS tidak memenangi perang dengan Iran sebagai “pengkhianatan.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

‘Galactic Racer’ Akhirnya Memperbaiki Salah Satu Bahagian Gelap Permainan Star Wars

Mei 1, 2026

Secret Mode(SeaPRwire) - Star Wars mungkin telah bermula sebagai francais filem live-action (atau, dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, televisyen) terutamanya, tetapi sejak permulaan sederhana A New Hope, ia telah menjadi empayar multimedia bernilai berbilion dolar. Mainan, novel, komik, taman tema—tiada medium yang tidak disentuh oleh dominasi budaya galaksi yang jauh, jauh di sana. Daripada semua bentuk seni yang Star Wars telah cuba, permainan video sudah pasti menjadi salah satu sumber yang paling boleh dipercayai.Sejak The Empire Strikes Back tahun 1982 untuk Atari 2600, perkembangan teknologi permainan video yang pantas telah memberikan peluang hebat kepada peminat untuk meneroka mitos, lokasi, dan watak-watak utama dalam ciptaan luas Lucas. Walau bagaimanapun, dalam kesemua permainan itu, terutamanya yang dikeluarkan dalam dua dekad kebelakangan ini, satu masalah mula muncul—semuanya sangat tertumpu pada pertempuran atau peperangan, dari permainan Battlefront hingga siri Star Wars: Jedi yang terkini. Sememangnya, pertempuran skala galaksi dan duel lightsaber adalah sebahagian besar siri ini, tetapi keajaiban dan keheranan seperti kanak-kanak yang Lucas pastikan untuk penekankan semasa beliau bersama siri ini juga begitu—dan berdasarkan pandangan terkini ke atas permainan Star Wars: Galactic Racer yang akan datang, nampaknya kita akhirnya akan mendapat permainan lain yang menghormati semangat itu.Teaser baru untuk Galactic Racer (dibangunkan oleh Fuse Games dan diterbitkan oleh Secret Mode) tidak menunjukkan banyak tentang cerita, yang kita tahu berlaku di Outer Rim dan memusatkan pada perjuangan kuasa untuk mengawal pertandingan perlumbaan tidak sah yang dikenali sebagai Galactic League. Apa yang ia tunjukkan adalah pelbagai lokasi seperti Tatooine, Hoth, dan Endor, bersama dengan beberapa kenderaan yang boleh dimainkan dalam permainan, termasuk podracers, speeder bikes, landspeeders, dan jenis kenderaan baharu yang membuat debutnya dalam francais ini, skimspeeder.Galactic Racer jelas bukan permainan perlumbaan pertama dan sahaja yang dikeluarkan semasa sejarah panjang Star Wars dalam permainan video: terdapat permainan podracing sejak Episode 1 Racer pada N64. Tetapi dalam era permainan triple-A, nampaknya tumpuan semakin tertumpu pada meniru aksi sinematik dan pertempuran sengit bersama naratif yang serius, yang bukan perkara buruk semula jadi, tetapi nampaknya beberapa pengalaman pelbagai yang terdapat dalam permainan Star Wars tahun 90-an dan awal 2000-an hilang. Ada sesuatu yang menyegarkan tentang pengalaman yang direka semata-mata untuk berseronok, bukan cerita tentang menyelamatkan galaksi dan memotong Stormtroopers, tetapi yang dikhaskan untuk memenuhi keinginan yang setiap orang dapatkan ketika menonton Anakin membina podracernya dan memenangi Boonta Eve Classic.Setakat ini, nampaknya taruhan dalam Galactic Racer tidak akan terlalu tertumpu pada kematian. | Secret ModeSemoga Star Wars: Galactic Racer mencapai kejayaan yang diperlukan untuk memastikan lebih banyak permainan seperti ini, kerana walaupun bertarung dengan lightsaber adalah menyeronokkan, terdapat banyak sudut dan konsep yang pelik dan menakjubkan dalam alam semesta yang sesuai untuk pelbagai jenis pengalaman permainan, sama ada ia adalah penyelesai teka-teki, platformer atau bahkan lebih banyak permainan perlumbaan.Keindahan Star Wars sebagai raksasa multimedia adalah bahawa peminat boleh mendapatkan projek dengan nada dan niat yang sangat berbeza, dan permainan video tidak seharusnya berbeza.Star Wars: Galactic Racer akan dikeluarkan untuk Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, dan PC pada 6 Oktober 2026.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Trump umumkan tarif baru terhadap EU

Mei 1, 2026

(SeaPRwire) - Presiden AS telah menuduh blok tersebut "tidak mematuhi" perjanjian perdagangan yang dicapai musim panas lalu, dengan menaikkan levi industri automotif Presiden AS Donald Trump telah mengumumkan tarif 25% ke atas kereta dan trak buatan EU, menuduh blok tersebut melanggar perjanjian perdagangan yang dicapai musim panas lalu tetapi masih belum disahkan sepenuhnya oleh penggubal undang-undang EU. Langkah ini merupakan kenaikan 10% daripada levi semasa sebanyak 15% ke atas industri automotif. Semasa mengumumkan keputusan itu, Trump menggeser pengeluar kereta Eropah untuk memindahkan pengeluaran mereka ke AS, dengan menyatakan bahawa kereta sedemikian tidak akan dikenakan tarif yang lebih tinggi. “Saya berbesar hati untuk mengumumkan bahawa, berdasarkan fakta bahawa Kesatuan Eropah tidak mematuhi Perjanjian Perdagangan yang telah dipersetujui sepenuhnya oleh kami, minggu depan saya akan meningkatkan Tarif yang dikenakan kepada Kesatuan Eropah bagi Kereta dan Trak yang masuk ke Amerika Syarikat. Tarif akan dinaikkan kepada 25%,” tulis Trump di platform TruthSocial miliknya. Walaupun perjanjian antara AS dan EU telah dipersetujui Julai lalu berikutan perang perdagangan yang singkat, ia akhirnya terbiar dalam limbo birokrasi blok tersebut. Parlimen EU mengundi pada akhir Mac untuk memajukan perjanjian itu, setelah menangguhkannya sebanyak dua kali sebelum ini. Walau bagaimanapun, perjanjian itu belum lagi disahkan sepenuhnya melalui proses yang dikenali sebagai “trilogue.” Untuk dilaksanakan sepenuhnya, perjanjian itu mesti diluluskan bukan sahaja oleh badan perundangan, tetapi juga oleh Suruhanjaya EU dan majlis pemimpin EU. Perjanjian perdagangan itu telah berulang kali dikritik sebagai penyerahan kalah birokrat EU di hadapan pemimpin AS kerana syarat-syaratnya yang secara amnya tidak menguntungkan. Bekas ketua dasar luar EU, Josep Borrell, sebagai contoh, telah berulang kali mengkritik pendirian pasif blok itu dalam pertikaian perdagangan dengan AS, menyatakan bahawa “perjanjian itu tidak adil sejak dari awal lagi,” dengan Washington mengenakan tarif 15% ke atas blok itu sementara “kami mengurangkan tarif kami ke atas mereka.” Pengumuman Trump mencetuskan reaksi segera di EU, dengan ketua jawatankuasa perdagangan antarabangsa Parlimen, Bernd Lange, meratapi sikap tidak boleh dipercayai Washington dan mempertimbangkan tindakan balas. “Ini bukan cara untuk melayan rakan kongsi rapat. Sekarang kami hanya boleh bertindak balas dengan kejelasan dan ketegasan yang sepenuhnya, dengan memanfaatkan kekuatan kedudukan kami,” kata Lange tanpa memberikan sebarang gambaran mengenai kemungkinan tindakan balas.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Indonesia’s ITS Develops Scalable, High-Efficiency Palm-Based Biogasoline Production Technology

Mei 1, 2026

SURABAYA, INDONESIA, May 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) has developed an innovative technology known as Benwit (Palm Gasoline), enabling the conversion of crude palm oil (CPO) into high-quality biogasoline, and presenting a promising alternative for reducing Indonesia’s substantial dependence on imported petroleum and foreign extraction technologies.Geopolitical tensions have continued to disrupt the global oil market and threaten energy supply security across Southeast Asia, thus emerging economies such as Indonesia are placing greater emphasis on energy sovereignty to safeguard national interests against the volatility of fossil fuel supply chains. Dr Eng Hosta Ardhyananta ST MSc explained the process and results of producing Palm Oil Gasoline using the "Benwit" method he discovered.The research, funded by the Indonesian Oil Palm Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDPKS), applies an advanced catalytic cracking method developed by ITS expert Dr. Eng. Hosta Ardhyananta, S.T., M.Sc., and his team. This method is designed to decompose large triglyceride molecules in crude palm oil (CPO) into lighter hydrocarbon fractions that are suitable for use in combustion engines.Hosta's team successfully optimized the reaction by introducing a bimetallic catalytic composed of Nickel Oxide (Nio) and Copper Oxide (CuO). This catalytic synergy enabled a substantial reduction in operating temperature, from 380°C to 320°C, while simultaneously increasing the biogasoline yield from 60% to an impressive 83%.The resulting fuel consists of short-chain hydrocarbons (C5–C11), closely resembling the chemical composition of commercial gasoline. In addition to the primary fuel product, the process reflects a zero-emission approach, in which gaseous byproducts are recycled as a heat source for the reactors, while liquid residues are repurposed as fuel for industrial or household stoves.Hosta noted that the innovation has been applied with agricultural machinery, but testing has been underway since April with conventional internal combustion engines through a blending method with fossil fuels and will continue to enable Benwit as a primary fuel for conventional vehicles, in line with the Indonesian government's plan to implement B50 biodiesel in July.This innovation aligns with several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 7 on affordable and clean energy, and Goal 12 on responsible consumption and production. A comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted by the research team indicates that the production process generates a minimal carbon footprint in comparison with conventional fossil fuels.The development of Benwit has also received full support from the Indonesian Minister of Agriculture, Amran Sulaiman. In the near future, collaboration with PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) PalmCo IV is expected to commence following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ITS.Prof. Dr. (HC) Ir. Bambang Pramujati, S.T., M.Sc.Eng., Ph.D., and Rector of ITS, underscored the timeliness of Benwit, noting that the current global situation offers a strategic opportunity for the government to accelerate the transition toward alternative energy sources, while the use of domestic palm oil reserves could help mitigate the effects of external fuel crises.Benwit bio-based fuel products, for agriculturl machinery and for convetional vehicles, represent a potentially significant policy instrument for advancing the transition to renewable energy, while working to reinforce national energy security.About ITSEstablished in 1960, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) is one of Indonesia’s leading universities, with a strong emphasis on science, engineering, and innovation.

Perbuatan Kekurangan Ucapan Matrimoni Dari Felesel Bahagian Akuasa Pemerintahan

Mei 1, 2026

(SeaPRwire) - Sayap belia Parti Demokrat Sosial (SPD) Berlin telah mencadangkan penggantian tiang "patriarki" dengan perkongsian hidup bersama Sayap belia Parti Demokrat Sosial (SPD) Berlin telah mencadangkan pemansuhan perkahwinan di Jerman memihak kepada perkongsian hidup bersama. Pada masa ini, perkahwinan menikmati perlindungan perlembagaan di bawah Perkara 6 Undang-Undang Asas. Usul yang bertajuk 'Hancurkan patriarki, walaupun ia terasa romantik' telah dibentangkan pada akhir bulan lepas sebelum persidangan cawangan SPD Berlin yang dijadualkan pada 8 hingga 9 Mei. Menurut Sosialis Muda Berlin (Jusos), perkahwinan adalah institusi utama patriarki yang menjamin "penindasan wanita oleh lelaki cis" dan "menghadkan kebebasan dan penentuan nasib sendiri melalui tuntutannya terhadap kekekalan." "Perkahwinan berfungsi sebagai alat untuk negara bangsa kapitalis yang chauvinistik dalam menguatkuasakan dasar-dasar misoginis, anti-queer, kelasisme, dan perkauman," hujah cadangan tersebut. Walaupun sayap belia SPD Berlin mengakui bahawa "ramai orang melihat perkahwinan sebagai satu hubungan romantik dan berbahagia di dalamnya," ia masih menegaskan bahawa "pembebasan dan mengatasi heteropatriarki serta kapitalisme hanya mungkin dicapai melalui perubahan radikal dan bersolidariti." Perubahan ini sepatutnya menyaksikan perkahwinan tradisional, serta semua undang-undang dan faedah cukai berkaitan dihapuskan dan digantikan dengan sejenis perkongsian hidup bersama, seperti yang dibayangkan dalam usul tersebut. Untuk menubuhkan apa yang dipanggil "komuniti tanggungjawab," individu hanya perlu memfailkan permohonan bertulis bersama di pejabat pendaftaran, dengan kesatuan itu dianggap sah semasa penyerahan. Keluar dari perkongsian sedemikian boleh dilakukan melalui permintaan bertulis pada bila-bila masa, "tanpa persetujuan orang lain," cadang Jusos. Menurut media Jerman, usul itu kemungkinan tidak akan dibincangkan di persidangan parti negeri yang akan datang tetapi sebaliknya ditangguhkan sehingga 2027. Sementara itu, tinjauan YouGov bulan lepas menunjukkan bahawa hanya 13% responden akan mengundi untuk SPD dalam pilihan raya hipotesis – prestasi terburuk Demokrat Sosial sejak Disember 2019. Sebaliknya, parti sayap kanan pembangkang Alternative for Germany (AfD), yang berkempen mengenai nilai-nilai keluarga antara lain, telah menyaksikan popularitinya meningkat dengan ketara sepanjang tahun lalu. Tinjauan Bild/INSA minggu lepas mencadangkan bahawa AfD akan memenangi pilihan raya hipotesis dengan 28% undian – satu rekod baharu tertinggi untuk parti itu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Rodan! 70 Tahun Kemudian, Kaiju Yang Paling Tidak Dihargai Kembali Di Monsterverse

Mei 1, 2026

Movie Poster Image Art/Moviepix/Getty Images(SeaPRwire) - Monsterverse sedang berkembang. Walaupun sebahagian besar Monarch Musim 2 memfokuskan kepada raksasa penghuni laut yang digelar Titan X, saat-saat akhir penamat Musim 2 mendedahkan sepenuhnya kepulangan satu kaiju yang sangat klasik, yang tidak pernah kelihatan dalam Monsterverse sejak Godzilla: King of Monsters pada tahun 2019. Namun, dari segi garis masa Monsterverse semasa, penamat Musim 2 Monarch, “Where We Belong,” mendedahkan Rodan, kira-kira dua tahun sebelum kemunculannya dalam King of Monsters. Jadi, bagaimanakah Lee Shaw sesuai dengan versi Rodan ini? Dan adakah ini sebenarnya versi Rodan yang sama daripada King of Monsters? Mari kita telusuri. Amaran spoiler.Penjelasan Penamat Monarch Musim 2 Lee (Kurt Russell) dan Keiko (Mari Yamamoto) dalam penamat Monarch Musim 2. | Apple TVMonarch Musim 2 berakhir dengan kemenangan mutlak bagi Kong, dan dengan Lee Shaw (Kurt Russell) memisahkan diri daripada versi arus perdana Monarch dan Apex. Terima kasih kepada beberapa helah perjalanan masa, Lee Shaw yang lebih muda (Wyatt Russell) dapat mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepada Keiko (Mari Yamamoto), yang merupakan satu peristiwa yang secara semula jadi diingati oleh dirinya yang lebih tua. Bagi mereka yang ingat bahawa Lee akan mendapat siri spinoff sendiri yang berlatarkan tahun 1980-an, momen ini seolah-olah menunjukkan bahawa Monarch Musim 3 tidak akan menyertakan sebarang imbas kembali Lee dan Kei yang muda, memandangkan kita secara harfiah mengucapkan selamat tinggal kepada versi muda watak ini dalam musim ini. Tambahan pula, Kei kini tinggal di masa kini, jadi kemungkinan besar tidak ada lagi imbas kembali dari tahun 1950-an dan 1960-an yang tinggal. Ketika pasukan teras Monarch mengecil, Lee Tua masih lagi aktif bergerak. Yang membawa kita kepada Rodan. Selepas membayar beberapa rakan sekutu yang mencurigakan, Lee mendaki ke puncak gunung berapi, di mana seekor Kaiju bersayap, yang pastinya Rodan, sedang bertengger. Lee berkata, “Jumpa lagi nanti,” dan episod itu berakhir. Jadi, apa seterusnya?Apa Maksud Rodan untuk Monarch Musim 3 Rodan pada tahun 1956. | Toho/Kobal/ShutterstockSebagai raksasa klasik, Rodan adalah salah satu yang terhebat sepanjang zaman. Selepas filem pertamanya pada tahun 1956 (hanya dua tahun selepas Godzilla yang asal), Rodan menjadi sebahagian daripada panteon raksasa yang lebih besar dalam era Showa bagi alam semesta Godzilla. Sebagai raksasa terbang yang kurang terkenal dalam kelab ini (Mothra mungkin lebih popular), Rodan terkenal dengan keupayaannya untuk mencapai kelajuan supersonik dan mencipta ledakan sonik dengan sayapnya.Dalam filem Monsterverse 2019 Godzilla: King of Monsters, Rodan bertanggungjawab atas banyak kemusnahan harta benda tanpa menyentuh apa-apa. Untuk Musim 3 Monarch, ini bermakna, secara teori, rancangan itu sedang berhadapan dengan Titan yang mempunyai kuasa pemusnah yang lebih hebat daripada Godzilla, Kong, dan Titan X. Walau bagaimanapun, dalam filem tersebut, Rodan digambarkan sedang tidur di pangkalan Monarch di Mexico, dan perlu dikejutkan untuk mencetuskan huru-hara. Oleh kerana Monarch Musim 2 berlaku sekitar tahun 2017, ini menunjukkan bahawa Lee Shaw perlu menidurkan semula Rodan pada penghujung Musim 3. Sama ada itu, atau ini adalah ahli spesies Rodan yang berbeza, yang mana dalam kes itu, apa sahaja boleh berlaku. Dalam apa jua keadaan, dengan pendedahan Rodan, Monarch kembali kepada salah satu raksasa asal yang terbaik sepanjang zaman, dan mungkin sedang menyediakan Musim 3 yang meletup, penuh dengan lebih banyak ledakan sonik daripada yang boleh ditangani oleh sesiapa pun.Monarch distrim di Apple TV.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

NBA Stays Highly Focused on Integrity During Prediction Market Talks With CFTC

Mei 1, 2026

(AsiaGameHub) - While the NBA continues discussions with a U.S. federal derivatives regulator regarding an integrity framework for prediction markets, the league submitted public comments this week in connection with a comment period for proposed rulemaking. In a four-page letter submitted to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the NBA restated its position that sports-event contracts should be subject to comprehensive regulations aimed at protecting the integrity of the sport. Dated 30 April, the letter from Dan Spillane, the NBA’s assistant general counsel for league governance & policy, was submitted on the final day of the public comment period for the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking concerning prediction markets. “There is no higher priority for the NBA than protecting the integrity of our games and preserving public confidence in our league and in our sport,” Spillane wrote. The NBA sent the letter just days after Commissioner Adam Silver confirmed that the league had held discussions with the CFTC on a potential integrity framework for prediction-market trades involving basketball. Like several other professional sports leagues, the NBA’s willingness to potentially partner with the CFTC would mark a shift from its previous stance on prediction markets. A Focus on Official Data Typically, sports event contracts are listed on Designated Contract Markets (DCMs), otherwise known as regulated exchanges that facilitate trading of futures, options and swaps. Spillane supports requirements for DCMs that would bar athletes, game officials and other league and team personnel from trading any contracts tied to their league’s games and events. Additionally, he emphasized that DCMs should be mandated to cooperate with integrity-related investigations carried out by national sports governing bodies. For probes into suspicious trading activity, the NBA has urged the CFTC to require DCMs to share specific traders’ identities with the league conducting the inquiry. Earlier this week, a U.S. Army Special Forces soldier who won roughly $400,000 on a Polymarket trade centered on the ousting of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro pleaded not guilty to using classified intelligence for that transaction. This trade serves as a prime example of the risks tied to insider trading. On Thursday, Polymarket announced it has selected blockchain data platform Chainalysis to enforce its market integrity rules across the DCM’s DeFi platform. Shortly after the landmark PASPA ruling, Spillane traveled across the country to inform state legislators about the importance of using official league data throughout the bet settlement process. In his letter, Spillane referenced officially verified league data on multiple occasions. To maintain consumer confidence, he wrote, DCMs should be required to use official league data to settle sports-related contracts. Silver Praises CFTC’s Commitment to Integrity Speaking at an Associated Press Sports Editors event on 27 April, Silver lauded the CFTC for collaborating with sports leagues to prioritize integrity. While the NBA has yet to finalize an integrity framework with the agency, Silver noted that a potential partnership would likely mirror the Memorandum of Understanding the CFTC signed with Major League Baseball in March. Once completed, this framework could pave the way for the NBA to potentially sign a marketing deal with a leading prediction market operator such as Kalshi or Polymarket. “We aren’t necessarily adverse to entering into licensing deals with them,” Silver said. “But again, the league’s number one role is to ensure the integrity of the competition. And that’s what we’re most focused on right now.” Silver made these comments during the same week that two NBA-associated figures appeared in Brooklyn federal court in connection with a widespread illegal betting scandal. On Monday, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kaitlin Farrell told a judge that prosecutors will likely file additional charges against former Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier. During a hearing before U.S. District Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall, Rozier learned he could face charges of honest services fraud and sports bribery later this month. Rozier is facing charges in U.S. v. Earnest, a case involving a scheme to defraud several leading U.S. sportsbooks. Damon Jones, another defendant in the case, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Jones, a former unpaid assistant with the Los Angeles Lakers, admitted to providing inside information to a group of bettors to defraud a sportsbook out of money. Jones is scheduled to be sentenced next January. Matt RybaltowskiMatt leads long-form feature coverage of complex sports betting scandals.

Anak-anak Trump mendakwa memiliki saham dalam kumpulan perlombongan yang disokong oleh kerajaan AS – FT

Mei 1, 2026

(SeaPRwire) - Syarikat itu telah mendapat sehingga $1.6 bilion dari Washington pada tahun lepas untuk mengekstrak tungsten di Kazakhstan, kata portal berita itu Sebuah syarikat shell yang disokong oleh Donald Trump Jr. dan Eric Trump telah bersetuju untuk penggabungan dengan kumpulan perlombongan yang mendapat sehingga $1.6 bilion dari kerajaan AS pada tahun 2025 untuk memudahkan pengekstrakan tungsten di Kazakhstan, lapor Financial Times. Perjanjian antara kumpulan Skyline Builders, di mana anak-anak Presiden AS Donald Trump memegang saham, dan kumpulan Cove Kaz Capital telah ditandatangani pada hari Khamis. Entiti yang baru dibentuk akan berdagang di Nasdaq sebagai Kaz Resources, menurut satu kenyataan. Cove Kaz kini mengawal 70% daripada deposit tungsten Northern Katpar dan Upper Kairakty di tengah Kazakhstan, yang dipercayai sebagai salah satu yang terbesar di dunia. Tahun lepas, Bank Eksport-Import AS yang dibiayai oleh kerajaan dan Development Finance Corporation telah berkomitmen untuk melabur dengan banyak dalam pembangunan kedua-dua projek. Kenyataan itu tidak menyebut anak-anak Trump, tetapi FT melaporkan pada hari Jumaat, memetik sumber yang berpengetahuan, bahawa mereka telah membeli saham di Skyline pada Ogos lepas melalui kenderaan tujuan khas yang dikendalikan oleh anak syarikat Dominari Securities. Saiz pelaburan mereka tidak didedahkan, tetapi mereka menambahnya sebanyak $24 juta pada bulan Oktober. Surat khabar itu menekankan bahawa “tiada cadangan bahawa Donald Trump Jr. dan Eric Trump tahu bahawa Cove berada di ambang mendapatkan kontrak dari pentadbiran AS bapa mereka ketika mereka membuat pelaburan awal di Skyline… atau bahawa mereka mempengaruhi pemberian kontrak itu.” American Ventures, yang mana Dominari adalah ahli, berkata bahawa Donald Trump Jr. “tidak mempunyai penglibatan operasi dalam syarikat itu” dan “tidak berinteraksi dengan kerajaan persekutuan atas nama mana-mana syarikat yang dia pelabur.” Eric Trump tidak menjawab permintaan komen dari FT. Demokrat telah berulang kali mengeluarkan amaran mengenai potensi konflik kepentingan yang timbul daripada pelaburan ahli keluarga Trump dalam syarikat yang telah mendapat kontrak kerajaan yang menguntungkan. Sedara-sedara presiden itu telah menjana lebih daripada $1 bilion keuntungan pra-cukai pada tahun lepas dengan terlibat dalam projek kripto mata wang, AI, dron dan mineral kritikal, menurut FT. Oleh kerana rintangan haba dan kekerasan yang tinggi, tungsten adalah penting dalam pengeluaran peralatan aerospace dan pertahanan. AS pada masa ini tidak mempunyai lombong aktif yang menghasilkan logam itu dan sangat bergantung kepada China untuk penghantarannya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Global Experts call for Paradigm Shift in Medicine, Health and Education to Save Lives and Fight Escalating Health Crisis

Mei 1, 2026

INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A global consortium of 64 experts (72 entities, 5 continents) unveiled two coordinated consensus plus policy brief reports, outlining a science‑driven roadmap to confront escalating health crises and to tackle the growing burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs-including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, etc.: 75% of global deaths; 82% in low-/middle income countries; 90% of all death in European region).The centerpiece is HEAL-Healthy Eating & Active Living, ideally whole‑food plant‑predominant/vegetarian-vegan diets & daily exercise outdoors/active mobility-as the minimum, first‑line standard in health and care. The authors urge immediate action on Prevention-over-Treatment and reforming education and human‑relevant science (drug failure rate from animal studies is 90-95%, and as high as 99.6% for Alzheimer disease), with a rapid shift from disease‑centered reaction to person‑centered, lifestyle‑first cure and care.Figure 1. HEAL means choosing a whole-food, plant-predominant (ideally vegan) diets coupled with daily exercise outdoors/in nature to kick-start better health. Credit: iStock/LightFieldStudios."Sustainable health is for free but cannot be downloaded or prescribed-it must be lived daily and earned across lifetime through informed lifestyle choices, with HEAL as starting point. As childhood-entrenched health literacy lasts a lifetime; embedding HEAL from primary to tertiary education is the policy priority of our generation." -Lead author Katharina Wirnitzer | PHT, University of Innsbruck & CCCTIMFigure 2. Katharina Wirnitzer/Keynote on Vegan Diet in Sports. Credit: ©Katharina Wirnitzer.Why change is imperativeThe paradox: Despite rising health spending and scientific advances, public health gains lag while ever-growing NCDs. The expert panel offers 101 consensus statements and a 10‑step policy roadmap to act across the lifespan-from individual behavior to population‑level change.Why HEAL, and why now: HEAL combines Healthy Eating (whole‑food, plant‑predominant; preferably vegetarian/vegan) with Active Living (regular, ideally daily, including outdoor activity and active mobility). Evidence shows synergistic benefits beyond either alone, reducing reliance on drugs and surgery while improving resilience and sustainability of health systems.Prevention-First (3:1): The reports recommend prioritizing prevention, health maintenance, and health promotion over treatment by 3:1 (Figure 3), making healthy choices the easy, first‑line intervention and reserving medicalized treatment for specific indications.Education and workforce: Embed HEAL from primary through tertiary education and continuously upskill healthcare and education professionals to deliver evidence‑based lifestyle counseling, routine assessment, and monitoring. Improve meal standards and support active mobility in schools and public spaces.Human‑relevant science: Accelerate the transition to non‑animal, human‑relevant methods for basic and preclinical research and for efficacy, safety and toxicity testing through funding priorities, validation, and regulatory adoption.Policy roadmap: Apply Health in All Policies (HiAP) to link individual choices with systemic supports (Figure 4); invest in supportive defaults (healthy public catering, active transport, public‑space design, community HEAL programs); embed HEAL in curricula; and track outcomes with robust evaluation to scale what works."Every dollar/euro invested in evidence-based prevention saves multiples in treatment. HEAL is the smartest first investment a health system can make." -Bernd Haditsch | ÖGK - Austrian Health Insurance Fund, Prevention Unit"Obesity is a disease with powerful drivers. HEAL gives every patient a proven, first-line foundation to reclaim their health." -Fatima Cody Stanford | Harvard Medical School & MGH"A doctor who cannot counsel patients on the Power of Lifestyle, especially on food and movement, is only half-equipped. Lifestyle education in medical school is the missing foundation of modern medicine. Helping our patients to eat a more plant-strong diet is the most powerful healing medicine we can prescribe." -Michael Klaper | Moving Medicine Forward"Plant-forward diets provide a powerful opportunity to concurrently improve health and wellbeing for people, farmed animals and the environment." -Andrew Knight | Griffith UniversityFigure 3. Four areas-of-action, balanced 3:1, to achieve lifelong health. Credit: ©Katharina Wirnitzer."Given its cost-effectiveness, Traditional, Integrative, and Complementary Medicine will be the evidence-based mainstream of tomorrow's global healthcare." -Tomáš Pfeiffer | ITCIM & SANATOR"Treatment alone will not sustain health systems. HEAL connects prevention, lifestyle medicine and integrative care to advance salutogenesis on a planetary scale. We must invest far more in creating health." -Georg Seifert | WHO CC & CCCTIM, Charité Universitäts mediz in Berlin"The science clearly shows that, when it comes to human health, animal protection is a win-win. Given human health's complexity, and since animal testing virtually fails to cure human diseases, human-relevant methods already outperform animal experimentation and must therefore be implemented with priority in science, with funds going to human-focused research. Citizens in the EU and US have spoken clearly in favor of this transition. HEAL can prevent many diseases, avoiding the need for animal studies altogether." -Merel Ritskes-Hoitinga | Universities Aarhus & Utrecht; Doris Wilflingseder | Vetmed Uni Vienna, Aysha Akhtar | Center for Contemporary Sciences, Corina Gericke & Gaby Neumann | Doctors Against Animal ExperimentsFigure 4. Systemic application of HEAL to reach target groups and improve personal and public health across micro (individuals/families), meso (communities), and macro (state/government/federal policy) levels, ensuring optimal vertical and horizontal permeability and integration.

Datavault AI and CyberCatch Announce Signing of Binding Letter of Intent for Datavault AI to Acquire CyberCatch to Accelerate AI-Driven, Quantum-Resistant Cyber Risk Mitigation Solutions

Mei 1, 2026

PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset ("RWA") tokenization technologies, and CyberCatch Holdings, Inc. ("CyberCatch") (TSXV:CYBE) (OTCQB:CYBHF), a cybersecurity company offering a patented, AI-enabled platform for continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation, today announced they have entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") under which Datavault AI and CyberCatch will enter into a definitive agreement for Datavault AI to acquire 100% of CyberCatch in an all-stock transaction structured as a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).Under the LOI and subject to a definitive agreement, Datavault AI will acquire 100% of CyberCatch's issued and outstanding common shares (being approximately 26.8 million shares) in exchange for approximately 49.9 million newly issued shares of Datavault AI common stock (the "Datavault AI Shares") at CAD $5.11 per CyberCatch share, which implies an aggregate value to CyberCatch's issued and outstanding common shares of CAD $136,843,820. All issued and outstanding CyberCatch securities convertible into or exercisable for CyberCatch common shares will be exchanged for Datavault AI Shares on a cashless exercise basis at a deemed value of USD $2.00 per Datavault AI Share. Upon closing of the transaction, subject to customary board, stock exchange, and any necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals, it is anticipated that Datavault AI stockholders will hold approximately 92.48% and CyberCatch shareholders approximately 7.52% of the equity of Datavault AI, on a non-fully diluted basis. It is anticipated that CyberCatch will operate as a subsidiary of Datavault AI from San Diego, California, and CyberCatch founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Sai Huda will serve as President of the subsidiary, reporting to Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI.Strategic RationaleThe combination is positioned at the intersection of two of cybersecurity's largest secular markets. According to Gartner, worldwide end-user spending on information security is projected to reach $240 billion in 2026, and Gartner separately projects the AI-amplified security segment will reach $160 billion by 2029, up from $49 billion in 2025. According to IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average U.S. data breach now costs $10.22 million, with a global average of $4.44 million.Regulatory tailwinds are converging with that demand picture. Phase 1 of the U.S. Department of Defense's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification ("CMMC") program took effect on November 10, 2025, with mandatory third-party C3PAO assessments for Level 2 contracts beginning in November 2026 and full enforcement extending across approximately 220,000 Defense Industrial Base contractors and subcontractors. CyberCatch's platform is purpose-built to address that mandate in defense, HIPAA in healthcare, NIST 800-171 in manufacturing, NIST CSF 2.0 in financial services, among others.The combination is also positioned for the post-quantum security era. Google has set 2029 as its internal deadline to migrate authentication systems to quantum-resistant cryptography. Separately, Google Quantum AI research demonstrated that the elliptic curve cryptography protecting many digital signatures and authentication systems could be broken by a superconducting quantum computer with fewer than 500,000 physical qubits, an order of magnitude lower than previous estimates. CyberCatch is converting its patent-pending, multi-authority, attribute-based encryption with revocation ("MARS-MABE") technology to attain quantum-resistance, and combining MARS-MABE with continuous agentic AI penetration testing creates a next-generation cybersecurity stack applicable across healthcare, defense, manufacturing, financial services, and energy.About CyberCatch's Platform and LeadershipCyberCatch's patented, AI-enabled continuous cybersecurity compliance and risk mitigation solution:Uses generative AI to ensure all legally required controls are in place and calculates a Cyber Hygiene ScoreUses agentic AI to continuously simulate threat-actor tactics, techniques, and procedures to perform penetration tests and calculates a Cyber Breach ScoreDetects gaps for prompt remediation before a threat actor can exploit and be successfulThe platform tests cybersecurity controls continuously from three dimensions, outside-in, inside-out, and social engineering, mapping to NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-171, CMMC 2.0, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and other regulated frameworks, replacing once-a-year manual penetration tests with continuous agentic AI penetration testing using specialized skill-set agents.MARS-MABE provides several distinct advantages over current RSA and AES-256 encryption, such as:Access to data is provided only if fine-grained user attributes are metAccess to users can be limited to fine-grained data subsetsInstant revocation of user access to data subsets, eliminating the need to re-encrypt the entire data set and providing speed and significant cost savingsCyberCatch is led by founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Sai Huda, a globally recognized cybersecurity expert, author of the bestselling Next Level Cybersecurity, co-author of Canada's National Cybersecurity Standard, and inventor of USPTO Patent No. 11,297,094, "Automated and Continuous Cybersecurity Assessment with Measurement and Scoring." He is the former founder and CEO of Compliance Coach, which was acquired by FIS, a FORTUNE 500 company, where he served as GM, Risk, Information Security, and Compliance Solutions.CyberCatch's board and advisory board include:Tom Ridge, former special assistant to U.S. President, first Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and two-term Governor of PennsylvaniaDr. Marv Langston, former Director of Information Systems at U.S. DARPA and Cybersecurity Chief, U.S. NavyScott Tait, former U.S. Navy Commander and National Security Advisor at the Joint Chiefs at the U.S. PentagonCyberCatch's customers span the U.S. defense supply chain, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, education, and public sectors, and the Company's capabilities were extended through the February 2026 acquisition of multi-authority attribute-based encryption technology, now branded MARS-MABE, and through 2026 reseller and referral partnerships such as with Speridian Technologies and other multiple reseller partners to U.S. government agencies.Added Strategic Benefit: Platform Integration and Cyber Defense Layer Across the Datavault AI StackFollowing closing, CyberCatch's AI-enabled Software-as-a-Service platform is also expected to operate as the cybersecurity and continuous-compliance layer across Datavault AI's existing technology suite, including:DataValue®, DataScore®, and Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) running natively on Available Infrastructure's SanQtum AI quantum-resistant, zero-trust edge platform across 1,000 urban micro-edge neocloud sites planned in 100+ U.S. cities by year-end 2026Acoustic Sciences division technologies (WiSA®, ADIO®, Sumerian®) and IDE® deployments serving sports, entertainment, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, and energy customersFederal and regulated-industry customer workloads where continuous compliance attestation against NIST, CMMC, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS frameworks is increasingly a precondition for procurement, audit, and renewalThe proposed acquisition is intended to give Datavault AI customers and partners an integrated path from secure compute through AI-driven data analytics, with continuous attestation at every layer.Management Commentary"Cybersecurity is no longer a separate stack from data and AI - it is the precondition for both. CyberCatch's continuous compliance platform is expected to provide another strategic advantage by adding to DataValue®, DataScore®, and the IDE® a real-time risk and compliance signal at every node of our quantum-secured edge fleet, from federal contractors to enterprise data customers," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI."Datavault AI's quantum-ready edge platform is exactly the next-generation infrastructure our customers and the marketplace in critical sectors such as in defense, healthcare, and financial services need cybersecurity built into. Joining Datavault AI gives them a clear path to a unified secure-data platform with continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation built in," said Sai Huda, founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of CyberCatch.Transaction OverviewUnder the binding LOI, holders of CyberCatch's common shares will receive newly issued common shares of Datavault AI as described above, with CyberCatch becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Datavault AI. The Datavault AI Shares to be issued are anticipated to be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), provided by Section 3(a)(10), and applicable state securities law exemptions.The transaction is subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, completion of due diligence, board approvals of both companies, requisite CyberCatch shareholder approval, applicable court approval of the plan of arrangement (British Columbia), and approvals of The Nasdaq Stock Market and the TSX Venture Exchange, as well as other customary closing conditions. The parties have agreed to negotiate a definitive agreement during a 45-day mutual exclusivity period.About Datavault AIDatavault AI™ (NASDAQ:DVLT) is a pioneer in AI-driven data experiences, valuation, and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment.

PlayCity Introduces Online Complaints Tool to Deal with Illegal Gambling Ads in Ukraine

Mei 1, 2026

(AsiaGameHub) - Ukraine’s gambling regulatory body, PlayCity, unveiled a new online complaint system aimed at speeding up public reports of illegal gambling ads, the agency stated on Thursday. The online tool enables users to report potential violations across multiple channels, including social media platforms, websites, TV, radio, outdoor ads, and other public spaces. PlayCity took on the role of the official state agency overseeing gambling and lotteries after policy functions were transferred to the Ministry of Digital Transformation. Its forerunner, the Commission for the Regulation of Gambling and Lotteries (KRAIL), was shut down in April 2024—this came after the regulator repeatedly failed to issue gambling licenses promptly. How does the tool work? Those filing complaints need to indicate the type of platform, provide a direct link to the ad, and upload supporting proof like screenshots or videos. Notably, the system automatically stores submitted content and is designed to capture and save temporary ad materials—like social media "stories"—at the moment of submission. This lets regulators examine content even after it’s been taken down or expired. Once submitted, complaints are first reviewed by PlayCity’s team to check if the reported material breaks Ukraine’s gambling advertising rules. In cases where ads are found to be illegal, the regulator will take the following steps: Ask major digital platforms (including Meta, Google, TikTok, YouTube, Viber, and Twitch) to remove the content. Block social media pages that repeatedly share illegal gambling ads. Issue fines to identified responsible parties, or refer unresolved cases to law enforcement if identities can’t be verified via official state records. The statutory administrative penalty for illegal gambling ads in 2026 is fixed at UAH5,188,200 (equivalent to $118,069). Ukraine’s ongoing enforcement Tougher enforcement against illegal gambling ads was rolled out under Law No.9526d—the same legislation that dissolved KRAIL. The launch of the online complaint tool is part of PlayCity’s ongoing digitalization initiatives to boost regulatory supervision in Ukraine’s gambling industry. Since it was set up 11 months ago, the regulator says it has imposed nearly UAH80 million in fines for illegal gambling ads, and blocked over 500 social media pages sharing forbidden content. These enforcement numbers reflect a wider tightening of Ukraine’s regulatory framework after gambling was legalized in 2020. PlayCity recently started overseeing an automated system that blocks military personnel from accessing online gambling services. Launched by Ukraine’s Ministries of Digital Transformation and Defence in March, this system aims to reduce problem gambling among service members during the current martial law period. The complaint form is now live and accessible to all Ukrainian citizens via the PlayCity website. It allows the public to actively contribute to monitoring and regulating illegal gambling ads.

India’s Government releases a framework outlining classification and regulation of various online games

Mei 1, 2026

(AsiaGameHub) - The Government of India has finalized a regulatory structure to supervise the nation’s online gaming industry. These regulations were rolled out less than a year after the country outlawed real-money online gambling through the 2025 Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill. The framework has set up a central regulatory body and detailed rules intended to govern and distinguish between online money games, esports, and social games. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming (PROG) Act 2025, paired with the supporting Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Rules 2026, took effect on 1 May 2026 following its first public release on 22 April 2026. Legal definitions The new rules lay out an unbiased, time-limited assessment process to categorize games into one of two groups: Online money games: games in which users pay fees or place stakes while having a reasonable expectation of earning monetary returns, which will be banned; Permissible social games or e-sports: games permitted under the legislation that come with specified protective measures. The Online Gaming Authority will be responsible for issuing licenses and approvals. The criteria the regulator will take into account include the type of fees or stakes involved and users’ expectation of financial winnings. It will also evaluate the game’s revenue structure, as well as how rewards or in-game assets can be converted to cash outside of the game ecosystem. Classification rulings will be issued within 90 days of a fully completed application or notification being submitted. This centralized framework is being rolled out at a time when India’s wider gambling industry has been under growing regulatory and political scrutiny. India prohibited real-money iGaming in August 2025, after data indicated that one third of the country’s population was losing a combined $2.3 billion annually on bets. The bill made both participation in such online games and their advertisement criminal offenses, carrying punishments including fines and prison sentences of up to five years. While India’s Minister of Technology Ashwini Vaishnaw noted that the bill “stops a major ill that was seeping into society”, opponents argued that the legislation would only push bettors to use unregulated overseas platforms. Over the first 90 days after the ban was implemented, real-money gaming (RMG) platforms reportedly posted asset write-downs exceeding $840 million. Establishment of OGAI A core component of the new framework is the formation of the Online Gaming Authority of India (OGAI), which will function as a subordinate office under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). Based in the National Capital Territory of Delhi, the Authority will be a small, cross-departmental body. It will be chaired by the Additional Secretary of MeitY, with support from Joint Secretary-level delegates from other government ministries. The Authority will keep an official register of online money games, which are classified as harmful due to their associated financial and social risks. Its remit will include conducting investigations, issuing official guidance, and setting industry codes of practice. It will also handle user appeals against grievance rulings made by platforms, and coordinate with various financial regulatory agencies. Registration and user safety for esports Only games or game categories flagged by the central government – assessed based on user risk (particularly for minors), scale, financial transaction volumes, and country of origin – are required to register under the new framework. Any games applying for official esports recognition will also need to complete registration. Successfully registered providers will be issued a digital Registration Certificate that remains valid for a maximum of ten years. Notably, games categorized as online money games will not qualify for esports recognition under the National Sports Governance Act 2025. The rules mandate that service providers put in place user protection measures such as age verification and access gating, usage time restrictions, and parental controls. Requirements also cover in-app reporting tools, counselling support services, and systems to guarantee fair play and operational integrity. When submitting registration applications, platforms will be obligated to provide details of both these safety measures and their internal grievance resolution procedures. Grievances and enforcement A two-stage grievance resolution system has also been launched as part of the framework. First, users who are unhappy with a ruling can file an appeal with the relevant platform within 30 days of the grievance being addressed; if the issue is not resolved, users can escalate the matter to the Online Gaming Authority, which targets a 30-day turnaround for case resolution. A subsequent appeal can be filed with the Secretary of MeitY, who acts as the Appellate Authority, with a target resolution window of 30 days. Most investigations and enforcement proceedings will be carried out digitally, with the goal of closing all cases within 90 days of a complaint being filed. Penalties will be tailored to be proportional, with assessments taking into account factors including profits earned from the violation, harm caused to users, whether the offense is repeated, its severity, and any steps taken by the entity to remedy the issue. The Authority has the power to issue civil penalties based on these assessments. The Act aims to stop regulated financial institutions and payment networks from processing transactions connected to banned online money games. This will require closer collaboration between the Online Gaming Authority and financial regulators, and could reshape the current structure of in-app purchases, token systems, and cash withdrawal mechanisms. Once it is fully operational, the Authority is set to release the official list of banned online money games, and begin processing classification decisions and registration applications under the new regulatory system.

DGOJ penalizes production company for promoting unlicensed gambling operator

Mei 1, 2026

(AsiaGameHub) - Spain’s Directorate General for Gambling Regulation (DGOJ) has imposed a €10,000 penalty on Make Money Now SA— the production firm behind the popular online reality show channel Zona Gemelos— for promoting an unlicensed gambling operator. Announced on Thursday, this fine is part of a broader regulatory crackdown on the betting sector in the first quarter of 2026, during which over €10 million in penalties were levied. Make Money Now SA, known for livestreamed content like The House of the Twins and The Prison of the Twins, was found by the DGOJ to have engaged in affiliate-style promotion of a gambling operator not licensed by Spanish authorities. The regulator stated that this activity constitutes a “serious” violation of Spain’s Law 13/2011 on Gambling Regulation. Investigations revealed that commercial communications and affiliate links to the unlicensed provider were shared across multiple social media platforms used by Zona Gemelos, including Instagram, Kick, X, and Discord. Protecting youngsters from gambling harms The DGOJ had specific concerns about such gambling promotions appearing on platforms with significant youth viewership, raising issues about the risks posed by unregulated operators that fail to comply with mandatory consumer-protection standards. Following initial inquiries by the regulator, Make Money Now swiftly removed the infringing advertisements. The company acknowledged responsibility and made a voluntary regulatory settlement payment. These factors, along with prompt remedial action, allowed Make Money Now to benefit from procedural penalty reductions under Spain’s administrative procedure law (LPACAP). As a result, the DGOJ reduced the original €10,000 fine to €6,000. Last month, the DGOJ published its Safe Gambling Programme 2026-2030, aiming to adopt new measures to protect youngsters from gambling harms. This includes researching the influence of social media on gambling patterns and developing a standard mechanism to detect risky online gambling behaviour. One of many The fine against Zona Gemelos is part of an enforcement initiative carried out by the DGOJ in early 2026. The regulator issued nine final rulings against online betting and gambling entities, cumulatively imposing fines of €10.29 million. Among these nine cases, the DGOJ deemed two to be “very serious”, accounting for €10 million of the total penalties. These two entities had operated offshore in Spain for two years and were found to have illegally offered betting services without the required Spanish licences. Since a 2021 amendment to the Gambling Regulation Act mandated the publication of administrative sanctions, the DGOJ has increased transparency and publicised enforcement actions more proactively. Since July 2021, the DGOJ has issued 221 sanctions with total fines exceeding €506 million, reflecting intensified regulatory oversight over both licensed operators and illegal foreign entities targeting Spanish consumers.

AS hantar beribu-ribu tan peluru dan perkakasan ketenteraan ke Israel

Mei 1, 2026

(SeaPRwire) - Menteri Pertahanan Israel Israel Katz telah memberi amaran bahawa Baitulmaqdis Barat mesti bersedia untuk menyambung semula serangan ke atas Iran jika perlu Baitulmaqdis Barat berkata, AS telah menghantar 6,500 tan amunisi dan peralatan ke Israel dalam tempoh 24 jam. Pengumuman itu bertepatan dengan laporan media yang mendakwa bahawa ketua Komando Pusat AS, Brad Cooper, telah memberi taklimat kepada Presiden AS Donald Trump mengenai rancangan untuk kemungkinan pembaharuan tindakan ketenteraan terhadap Iran, dalam usaha menekannya supaya bersetuju dengan perjanjian damai yang lebih menguntungkan. Menurut Fox News, apa yang Cooper gambarkan sebagai “pukulan akhir” terhadap Tehran boleh termasuk “gelombang serangan yang pendek dan kuat” yang menyasarkan “baki aset ketenteraan, kepimpinan dan infrastruktur Iran.” Gencatan senjata dalam perang AS-Israel terhadap Iran diumumkan pada 8 April selepas lebih sebulan pertempuran, namun percubaan Washington dan Tehran untuk mencapai penyelesaian diplomatik terhadap krisis ini setakat ini tidak berjaya. Kawalan Selat Hormuz dan program nuklear Iran dilaporkan kekal sebagai batu penghalang utama antara kedua-dua pihak. Kementerian Pertahanan Israel berkata dalam satu kenyataan pada Khamis bahawa dua kapal kargo yang berlabuh di pelabuhan Ashdod dan Haifa negara itu telah tiba dengan beribu-ribu amunisi udara dan darat, trak tentera, Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs) dan peralatan ketenteraan lain. Kenyataan itu menyatakan, peralatan ketenteraan itu telah dimuatkan ke atas beratus-ratus trak dan dipindahkan ke pangkalan Israel Defense Forces (IDF) di seluruh negara. Menurut data Kementerian Pertahanan, Israel telah menerima lebih 115,600 tan peralatan ketenteraan, melalui 403 pengangkutan udara dan 10 pengangkutan laut sejak serangan AS-Israel ke atas Iran bermula pada 28 Februari. Semafor melaporkan pada pertengahan Mac, memetik pegawai Amerika, bahawa Israel telah memaklumkan kepada AS bahawa bekalan pemintas pertahanan udaranya berada pada tahap “sangat kritikal” di tengah serangan balas Tehran. IDF menolak dakwaan itu. Menteri Pertahanan Israel Israel Katz berkata pada Khamis bahawa Baitulmaqdis Barat menyokong usaha diplomatik Washington, namun memberi amaran bahawa ia “mungkin tidak lama lagi akan diperlukan untuk bertindak semula” terhadap Iran untuk memastikan ia “tidak kembali menjadi ancaman.” Panglima Angkatan Aeroangkasa Kor Pengawal Revolusi Islam Iran (IRGC) Brigedier Jeneral Seyyed Majid Mousavi berkata pada hari yang sama bahawa Tehran akan bertindak balas dengan “serangan yang menyakitkan, berpanjangan dan meluas” jika diserang lagi.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Representatives from More Than 40 Countries Discuss New Models of Global Growth in Moscow

Mei 1, 2026

Moscow, Russia – May 01, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – The 2nd Open Dialogue “The Future of the World: A New Platform for Global Growth” took place in Russia, bringing together experts and young researchers from more than 40 countries who proposed ideas on the development of the economy, technology, education, and the environment. The key unifying principle of the event was a focus on people, international cooperation, and the search for new models of global growth through dialogue and the practical implementation of ideas. The large-scale three-day program at the Russia National Centre has concluded, combining expert discussions, presentations by authors of the best essays from around the world, and informal communication with experts. According to the official remarks, the Open Dialogue has achieved a global footprint that covers the entire planet. “Experts, business leaders, and researchers from 120 countries took part in the essay and creative works competition, including representatives from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Australia, North and South America. All authors and researchers, with diverse experiences and perspectives, were united by a strong and bold idea: to form a shared understanding of the future — the future of a world entering an era of profound structural change. It is evident that no country can develop in isolation, at the expense of other states or to their detriment. Furthermore, modern global challenges require a joint response and collective efforts. This means that the model of global development will be sustainable and fair only if it is based on the principles of equality and mutual respect, and takes into account the interests of all countries,” the honorary guest of the event stated. According to the Russian leader, a multipolar architecture of global development is being formed before our eyes. Within it, an important role is played by states that understand and value national sovereignty. The results of the large-scale event were summarized by Russian economist Maxim Oreshkin: “Russia, in a number of areas, is an advanced country in terms of the development of digital platform solutions. Our approach is one of joint development. When Russian digital platforms enter other countries’ markets, they bring data localization, local partner involvement, training for local personnel, and the development of their own competencies in platform solution development. Russia comes to develop together, not to collect colonial rent from countries that lack access to technological solutions. We are in favor of developing together.” Maxim Oreshkin noted that the reach of the Open Dialogue will continue to grow each year. According to him, significant attention is being paid to the stage of implementing the ideas proposed in the essays. A mentorship format has been introduced — Russian businesses and international companies are beginning to work with essayists, involve them in their projects, and help bring their ideas to life. At the 2nd Open Dialogue, the best essay authors were identified in four areas: “Investing in People,” “Investing in Connectivity,” “Investing in Technology,” and “Investing in the Environment.” The winner in the “Investing in Technology” track was Aya Arfaoui, a student of Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco. She raised the issue of the digital sovereignty of developing countries. According to her, international institutions do not provide sufficient influence in regulating the digital space. Solomon Gardie, a postgraduate student at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia, became the winner in the “Investing in Connectivity” track. His essay focused on connectivity and the mobility of sovereign data. He proposed a system in which data is processed and anonymized before cross-border transfer, and only in this form can it be used for the common good. He also noted that, within cooperation in the BRICS+ framework, one of the first areas could be healthcare, particularly epidemiological monitoring and disease control. In the “Investing in the Environment” track, the winner was Soumya Bhowmick, a research fellow at the Observer Research Foundation (India). In his presentation, he stated that for almost 100 years, the world has focused on measuring GDP, which does not reflect a country’s real wealth. The winner of the “Investing in People” track was Lubinda Haabazoka from Zambia. In his speech, he noted that for real convergence among countries of the Global South, not only declarations of multipolarity are needed, but also practical changes in key systems of interaction — primarily in education, which directly affects opportunities for cooperation and knowledge exchange. The future should be built around the individual, their health, agency, and a long, meaningful life, rather than around technologies and outdated systems, believes Dr. Selina Neri, co-founder, CEO, and dean of Future Readiness Academy (UAE), and an expert of the 2nd Open Dialogue in the “Investing in People” track. According to her, this requires new approaches to education, work, and technology development that focus on human flourishing, sovereignty, and the practical implementation of ideas rather than copying ineffective models. More than 1,600 authors from all continents submitted their works to participate in the 2nd Open Dialogue. Seventy-five essay authors hold academic degrees. The conclusions drawn from the discussions will be reviewed at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and will be reflected in its business program. Essayists and experts will also be engaged in activities within the BRICS platform and involved in preparations for the Russia–Africa Summit.

Pakistan melancarkan pertama Cina Hangor kapal selam (VIDEO)

Mei 1, 2026

(SeaPRwire) - Yang pertama daripada lapan kapal selam dilancarkan ketika ketegangan dengan India berterusan Pakistan telah melancarkan kapal selam pertama daripada lapan kapal selam kelas Hangor buatan China, sekaligus mengembangkan armada bawah lautnya, ketika Islamabad memperkukuh kerjasama pertahanan dengan Beijing. Langkah ini menyusul pengenalan pesawat pejuang J-10C buatan China, yang menurut Pakistan digunakan dalam pertempuran buat pertama kali semasa konfliknya dengan India pada 2025. Presiden Asif Ali Zardari hadir dalam majlis pelancaran di bandar pelabuhan selatan China, Sanya, bersama-sama Ketua Tentera Laut Pakistan Laksamana Naveed Ashraf dan pegawai kanan lain dari kedua-dua negara. Zardari, yang sedang dalam lawatan rasmi ke China, menggambarkan pengenalan kapal selam itu sebagai “pencapaian bersejarah” untuk tentera laut. Kelas Hangor adalah berdasarkan reka bentuk kapal selam Type 039A China dan merupakan platform diesel-elektrik dengan pacuan bebas udara. Ia boleh membawa anak kapal seramai 38 orang dan dilengkapi dengan torpedo serta peluru berpandu anti-kapal. Di bawah perjanjian yang ditandatangani pada 2015 dan dianggarkan bernilai kira-kira $5 bilion, empat kapal selam sedang dibina di China dan dihantar ke Pakistan, manakala baki empat lagi akan dibina secara domestik. Pakistan sejak lama bergantung pada armada kapal selamnya sebagai elemen utama penghalangannya terhadap India, di mana kedua-dua negara telah terlibat dalam tiga peperangan sejak 1947. Semasa konflik tahun lalu mengenai Kashmir, Islamabad mendakwa menggunakan jet J-10C buatan China untuk menembak pesawat India, termasuk pesawat pejuang Rafale buatan Perancis, satu dakwaan yang tidak disahkan oleh New Delhi. Menurut Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), China menyumbang kira-kira 81% daripada import senjata Pakistan pada 2020–2024. Projek usahasama mereka termasuk Hangor serta pesawat pejuang JF-17. Awal minggu ini, Menteri Pertahanan India Rajnath Singh menuduh Pakistan menyokong keganasan dan berkata New Delhi bersedia untuk menangani sebarang ancaman, sekali gus menekankan ketegangan berterusan antara dua jiran yang bersenjata nuklear ini. India tidak mengulas mengenai pelancaran terbaru ini, tetapi tentera lautnya sebelum ini menyatakan mereka memantau rapat bekalan kapal selam China kepada Pakistan, sambil meningkatkan usaha untuk mengembangkan armada bawah lautnya sendiri, dengan merujuk kepada pengembangan kehadiran tentera laut Beijing di Lautan Hindi. New Delhi juga memajukan program kapal selam nuklear dan konvensionalnya untuk memperkukuh keupayaan maritimnya. Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
