  • MIL-OSI Africa: Call for Entries: Africa Property Investment Awards 2025 Submit Your Applications by 30 June!

    The countdown is on for the prestigious 9th Africa Property Investment (API) Awards 2025, part of the highly anticipated API Summit themed “Growth Through Adventure” taking place on 18 and 19 September 2025 at The Westin Hotel, Cape Town.  

    The deadline for submissions has been extended to 30 June 2025, giving developers, consultants, suppliers, professional teams, and property owners across Africa an exciting opportunity to showcase their excellence in the continent’s dynamic real estate sector. 

    Why enter the API Awards? 

    The API Awards are the continent’s definitive recognition platform celebrating outstanding achievements in African real estate. Open to a wide range of participants —from developers and consultants to suppliers and property owners— the awards highlight innovation, sustainability, and impactful growth in the industry.  

    Judged by a distinguished panel of over 20 industry experts and thought leaders, the awards ensure impartiality and credibility, making being named a finalist or winner a coveted accolade that significantly boosts brand exposure and credibility. This year, the judges will evaluate submissions across three key categories: Development; Personnel; Service, Technology, and Innovation.  These categories reflect the multifaceted nature of the real estate ecosystem. 

    Spotlight on 2024 winners: Success stories that inspire 

    The impact of winning an API Award is profound and far-reaching. Last year’s winners have not only gained industry recognition but have leveraged their awards to accelerate growth, attract investment, and amplify their influence across Africa’s property landscape. 

    AlleyRoads: Best Affordable Housing Development 2024 

    AlleyRoads, a South Africa-based developer, won the Best Affordable Housing Development award for their innovative Inkanyezi Village project in Katlehong, Gauteng. Ivan Pretorius, Founder and CEO of AlleyRoads, shared how the award has been transformative: 

    “Winning the Best Affordable Housing Development award has highlighted that AlleyRoads plays an important and instrumental role in affordable housing development across South Africa. It has attracted select investors to invest in our group and demonstrated our dedication to improving all aspects of affordable housing.” 

    Pretorius also emphasized the broader social impact of the Inkanyezi Village project that was recognised by the API Awards. Inkanyezi Village in Katlehong boasts 378 apartments that cater to lower-to-middle income households. The apartments are powered by solar panels and a battery system, ensuring supply of electricity even during load-shedding.  

    “The award raised significant awareness about affordable housing in Katlehong, particularly the innovative use of off-grid power systems. Traditionally a feature of high-end residential projects, off-grid power solutions designed for affordability have improved quality of life in the lower end of the affordable housing market,” says Pretorius.  

    This recognition has not only enhanced AlleyRoads’ reputation but also underscored the potential for sustainable, affordable housing solutions across the continent. 

    REdimension Capital: Dealmakers of the Year 2024 

    REdimension Capital, led by Peter Clark and Matt Marshall, was honoured as Dealmakers of the Year for their outstanding deal-making prowess in the South African property investment market. REdimension Capital is a South Africa based investment firm that funds early-stage technology companies improving real estate through innovation and sustainability. The API accolade has had a tangible impact on REdimension Capital.  

    Says Clark and Marshall:  

    “Receiving the Dealmakers of the Year award was a meaningful milestone recognizing the significant work we have undertaken. It has enhanced our visibility and credibility within the property and venture investment ecosystem, reinforcing our position as a trusted partner for real estate stakeholders and technology founders.” 

    The pair says the award has also opened new doors for REdimension Capital, helping the company with its capital-raising efforts and expansion of strategic networks.   

    “Since receiving the award, we have executed additional deals, deepened our pipeline, and been able to provide credible support for our portfolio companies as they add scale. It has also helped strengthen our position as a leader in driving innovation in the built environment—something we are deeply committed to as we continue to bridge the gap between traditional real estate and the next generation of technology-enabled solutions.”

  • MIL-OSI Analysis: Outsourcing cost of ‘impact’ data could mean 13% more bang for every charitable buck

    Source: The Conversation – USA – By George E. Mitchell, Professor of Public and International Affairs, Baruch College, CUNY

    Trying to measure a charity’s impact requires the right tools. MirageC/Moment via Getty Images

    Charitable donors often make gifts despite having little information about the organizations they support. Without relevant data, that money may not flow to the charities that evidence suggests are delivering the biggest bang for donors’ bucks.

    But getting good information about what donors call “impact” takes money, time and effort. If donors are responsible for those costs, then they may not obtain the data, and charities would be less likely to produce the data in the first place.

    I’m a public and international affairs professor who researches nonprofits and philanthropy.. I conducted a study in 2023 with Chengxin Xu and Huafang Li, two other scholars of nonprofit management, to better understand whether these costs influence how donors pick charities. Through this study, which involved nearly 2,000 U.S. adults, we were able to estimate how much impact may be lost when donors incur information costs themselves.

    Impact refers to the effects a charity achieves. Donors can try to get the most impact per dollar by supporting charities that achieve high impact at low cost.

    We asked the participants in our experiment to choose one of 10 hypothetical charities to receive support. All the charities had the same mission: “to save lives.” Everyone was paired with a fictitious partner who would also be supporting the selected charity. Before choosing, the participant had the option to obtain information about each organization’s impact per dollar.

    About half the time, the participant could pay for the information themselves out of their own hypothetical budget. In the other half, they could tell their partner to pay out of their partner’s budget. The charity would receive the combined gifts, minus any money paid for information. The total amount spent stayed the same no matter who paid or whether anyone paid.

    When someone else paid, participants were more likely to direct their gifts to more efficient charities, raising the average impact of donations by about 13%. In other words, donors gave smarter when someone else picked up the tab for the information.

    Why it matters

    Americans gave more than US$550 billion to charity in 2023.

    If shifting information costs can boost the impact of charitable giving by 13%, then applying that gain to just one-tenth of that giving could potentially unlock about $7 billion worth of additional impact. Funders who are very interested in the potential of data to increase impact, such as effective altruists, philanthropists who emphasize outcomes, and some large foundations, may be willing to bear the costs so others don’t have to. The challenge is that not all donors are equally willing to pay for information that could increase the impact of charitable giving.

    Other research findings have suggested that most Americans want to see data about the impact that charities have, but it is not obvious where the funding for this should come from. If charities cover the cost themselves, then they are essentially asking their donors to pay for it. But many donors may want all their gifts to pay for program delivery, not data production.

    What still isn’t known

    It’s unclear how well these findings would translate into real-world giving behavior. Donors’ appetite for information that comes at the expense of direct services may be limited, even if it improves the overall impact of their gifts. And using data about impact per dollar to guide giving could have downsides. For example, it might reward work that is easy to measure and discourage efforts that are just as important but are harder to assess, or just take longer for the results to be seen.

    What’s next

    Philanthropists can access more data about charities than ever before. Platforms like Candid and Charity Navigator offer the potential to harness that data to better inform donors. Organizations like GiveWell go even further, recommending specific charities based on rigorous data analysis. I’ll be studying these kinds of opportunities for boosting the impact of charitable giving, because when donors are better informed, they can accomplish more with their money.

    The Research Brief is a short take about interesting academic work.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Governor Ivey Invites Alabama Students to Join 3rd Annual Summer Reading Challenge on First Day of Summer

    Source: US State of Alabama

    MONTGOMERY – On the first official day of summer, Governor Kay Ivey invited Alabama students to join her 3rd Annual Summer Reading Challenge and encouraged participation in Second Lady Usha Vance’s national reading challenge as well.

    “Our students have earned a well-deserved summer break, but that doesn’t mean the learning stops,” said Governor Ivey. “Reading is one of the best ways to keep young minds sharp, and for the third year now, I’m proud to once again invite Alabama’s students to take part in my Summer Reading Challenge. I have heard from thousands of our students in the past, and I look forward to even more sharing their favorite reads with me this summer.”

    Governor Ivey’s Summer Reading Challenge, which runs through September 5, 2025, is open to all Alabama students. Whether receiving public, private or homeschool instruction, rising students in grades K through 8th for the 2025-26 school year are invited to join.

    To participate, grade-eligible students may write a letter to Governor Ivey, sharing what their preferred summer reading book was and why it was their favorite, whether it be assigned summer reading or book of choice.

    In addition to the written portion of the letter, students must include their name, grade they are entering and school he or she attends.

    All letters to Governor Ivey should be addressed and mailed to:

    Governor Kay Ivey

    Attn: Governor Ivey’s Summer Reading Challenge

    600 Dexter Avenue

    Montgomery, AL 36130

    Governor Ivey also recognized the national effort led by Second Lady Usha Vance and encouraged students to take advantage of both opportunities.

    “The more we can do to keep our students reading, the better – and I’m proud to stand alongside Second Lady Usha Vance in encouraging that effort. I hope families across our state will take part in both our reading challenge here in Alabama and the national one led by our Second Lady. There’s no better way to spend the summer than with a good book, or two, OR twelve, in hand,” said Governor Ivey.

    The Second Lady’s 2025 Summer Reading Challenge invites K through 8th students across the country to read 12 books by September 5 and track progress on a designated reading log. Students who complete her challenge are eligible for a certificate, prize and a chance to win a trip to Washington, D.C.

    Alabama students can double up and take part in both programs for a well-rounded summer of reading.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Conclusion of misconduct hearing for former Detective Chief Inspector

    Source: United Kingdom London Metropolitan Police

    A misconduct hearing has found that a former officer would have been dismissed for his inappropriate actions towards a victim of crime.

    Gross misconduct had been proven in October 2021 for Detective Chief Inspector James Mason, with the panel giving him a final written warning.

    Following a legal challenge, a hearing which began on Thursday, 19 June reconsidered the sanction, and amended it to dismissal on the basis of the high level of harm caused by DCI Mason.

    Former DCI Mason, who resigned and left the Met in November 2022, will also be placed on the police Barred List.

    Detective Superintendent Neil Smithson, Professional Standards, said: “The Met took the allegations against DCI James Mason seriously and conducted an investigation that led to a misconduct hearing. The hearing panel, led by an independent legally qualified chair, made the decision not to dismiss him and the Met Police has in no way sought to justify that decision.

    “Former DCI Mason’s behaviour was wholly unacceptable. A victim of crime is already likely to feel vulnerable, they should never be made to feel worse by the actions of a police officer. I hope the victim in this case takes some comfort from the outcome of the fresh hearing.

    “The Commissioner has made it very clear that officers who abuse their position of trust and authority have no place in the Met. We continue our ongoing drive to improve our standards and culture.”

    The hearing in 2021 found all allegations proven against DCI Mason.

    The hearing heard that in October 2011 while a detective sergeant, DCI Mason took a witness statement from a female victim of an attempted robbery.

    He asked inappropriate questions about her personal life, relationships and whether she would like to go for dinner that evening.

    The following day he was contacted by the woman to ask if further investigation could be done. DCI Mason began an inappropriate email exchange with her, including suggesting they meet for drinks and commenting on her appearance.

    The victim began a legal challenge against the panel for its decision to issue a three-year final written warning. In January the Court of Appeal directed that the panel should convene on the issue of sanction.

    The Barred List is held by the College of Policing. Those appearing on the list cannot be employed by police and a number of other policing bodies.

    Source: Reserve Bank of India

    RBI/2025-26/61
    DOR.LIC.REC.36/16.13.218/2025-26

    June 20, 2025

    All Small Finance Banks

    Madam/ Dear Sir,

    Review of Priority Sector Lending norms – Small Finance Banks

    Please refer to the ‘Guidelines for Licensing of Small Finance Banks in Private Sector’ dated November 27, 2014 and the ‘Guidelines for ‘on-tap’ Licensing of Small Finance Banks in Private Sector’ released by Reserve Bank on December 5, 2019. In terms of paragraph II (9) of the aforesaid Licensing Guidelines, a small finance bank (SFB) is required to extend 75 per cent of its Adjusted Net Bank Credit (ANBC) to the sectors eligible for classification as priority sector lending (PSL) by the Reserve Bank. Further, while 40 per cent of its ANBC should be allocated to different sub-sectors under PSL as per the extant PSL prescriptions, the bank can allocate the balance 35 per cent to any one or more sub-sectors under the PSL where it has competitive advantage.

    Revised provisions

    2. On a review, it has been decided that financial year 2025-26 onwards, the additional component (35 per cent) of PSL shall be reduced to 20 per cent, thereby making the overall PSL target as 60 per cent of ANBC or Credit Equivalent of Off-Balance Sheet Exposures (CEOBE), whichever is higher. The SFB shall continue to allocate 40 per cent of its ANBC or CEOBE, whichever is higher, to different sub-sectors under PSL as per the extant PSL prescriptions, while the balance 20 per cent shall be allocated to any one or more sub-sectors under the PSL where the bank has competitive advantage.

    3. These instructions are issued in exercise of the powers conferred on the Reserve Bank of India under Section 22 (1) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.

    Yours faithfully,

    (Manoranjan Padhy)

  • MIL-OSI USA: Rep. Dan Goldman Leads NYC Delegation in Issuing Oversight Demand Letter to the Department of Homeland Security for Violating Congress’ Statutory Authority to Conduct Oversight

    Source: US Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10)

    Goldman and Numerous Other Congressmembers Have Been Illegally Denied Access to ICE Field Offices Used to House Immigrants in Inhumane Conditions 

     

    Letter Follows ICE Turning Goldman Away from the 26 Federal Plaza Field Office in Lower Manhattan, Despite Staff Admitting Its Use for Immigrant Detention 

     

    Read the Letter Here 
    New York, NY – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) today led 8 of his New York City House Democratic colleagues in sending an oversight letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and Acting Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Todd Lyons demanding ICE comply with Section 527(a) of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024 and stop denying members of Congress access to facilities that ICE is using to house immigrants. The demand letter follows ICE’s refusal, in direct violation of Section 527(a), to allow Congressman Goldman to investigate the 10th Floor of the 26 Federal Plaza federal building in Lower Manhattan on June 18, where hundreds of immigrants are reportedly being detained. 

    During Congressmen Goldman and Nadler’s oversight visit to the ICE Field Office at 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday, Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce confirmed that immigrants housed on the 10th floor were being forced to sleep on benches, floors, and in bathrooms for multiple days. Despite admitting that the facility was being used to detain migrants for several days at a time, Joyce barred the lawmakers from accessing the area, citing administration guidance. 

    The letter was signed by Representatives Jerrold Nadler (NY-11), Adriano Espaillat (NY-13), Nydia Velázquez (NY-07), Ritchie Torres (NY-15), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), Grace Meng (NY-06), Gregory Meeks (NY-05), and Yvette Clarke (NY-09). 

    Read the letter here or below: 

    Dear Secretary Noem and Acting Director Lyons: 

    We write to express alarm about the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) continued obstruction of lawful congressional oversight visits, including recent denials of access to ICE field offices being used to house immigrants, such as the one located at 26 Federal Plaza in New York City. These denials are not only indefensible, but they are also a clear violation of current law. 

    As you know, Section 527(a) of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118–47), states that: 

    “None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available to the Department of Homeland Security by this Act may be used to prevent…a Member of Congress…from entering, for the purpose of conducting oversight, any facility operated by or for the Department of Homeland Security used to detain or otherwise house aliens.” 

    ICE has claimed in official guidance, titled “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Facility Visit and Engagement Protocol for Members of Congress and Staff” that its field offices fall outside of Section 527 requirements because “ICE does not house aliens at field offices.” However, this assertion is directly contradicted by the agency’s own leadership.  

    On June 18, in the process of denying a request by Congressmen Dan Goldman and Jerry Nadler to observe the ICE facilities where immigrants are being housed, New York Deputy Field Director Bill Joyce confirmed that individuals are in fact held – without beds – at 26 Federal Plaza for multiple days. 

    When individuals are deprived of their liberty in a secure facility for multiple days, they are unquestionably being “detained” or “housed” under the plain language of Section 527(a).  And the facility need not be designated as a “detention facility;” rather, the plain language of the statute refers to a facility “used” to detain or house immigrants.  By ICE’s own admission, the Field Office at 26 Federal Plaza is being “used” to “house” immigrants.   

    Thus, any and all attempts to deny or delay such access violate the law and obstruct our constitutional duty to conduct oversight of the Executive Branch. Congressmen Goldman and Nadler should therefore have been permitted to conduct their oversight duties to observe the circumstances and conditions of detention of the non-violent, non-criminal immigrants who are being snatched out of court proceedings in order to be quickly deported without due process. 

    Congressional oversight is essential to bring transparency to the conduct of the Department of Homeland Security. Given the overaggressive and excessive force used to handcuff and detain elected officials in public, DHS’s refusal to allow members of Congress to observe the conditions for immigrants behind closed doors begs the obvious question: what are you hiding?  

    Accordingly, we demand that you do the following no later than June 30, 2025: 

    1. Immediately rescind all guidance or instructions suggesting that ICE field offices are exempt from Section 527 oversight. 

    2. Reaffirm that Members of Congress are legally entitled to conduct unannounced oversight visits to any facility where people are detained or housed by or for DHS, including field offices where immigrants are kept overnight. 

    3. Direct all ICE field offices and relevant personnel to comply with Section 527 and facilitate congressional access consistent with current law. 

    Your cooperation, or lack thereof, will determine whether the Department of Homeland Security is committed to transparency and upholding the law with integrity or to secrecy and obstruction of congressional oversight. 

    We look forward to your prompt and forthright response.

    The OSCE supported Moldova’s General Police Inspectorate (GPI) in adopting a revised regulation to improve the governance of its K9 Directorate and upgrading its K9 capacities through the donation of two specialized vehicles and training equipment.
    The recently updated regulation on K9 activities introduces unified standards for the operational deployment of detector dogs as well as their reproduction, acquisition, and training across specialized and territorial units. The revision brings national practices in line with international standards and good practices.
    These activities were part of the implementation of a master plan (2025–2028) developed with OSCE support and adopted by the GPI in March 2025. It provides a structured roadmap for expanding and professionalizing Moldova’s K9 capabilities, which play a vital role in law enforcement operations and public safety.
    “The two donated specialized vehicles, along with the flashlights, safety glasses, training gear, protective equipment, narcotics detection kit, scent carousel, full protective suits, trial sleeves, and training balls, will greatly enhance the Moldovan Police’s capacity to detect and combat crime,” said Viorel Cernăuțeanu, the Head of the General Police Inspectorate.
    These initiatives are part of the OSCE’s extrabudgetary project “Support to the Law Enforcement Agencies in Moldova in Response to the Security Challenges in the Region”, implemented jointly by the OSCE Secretariat’s Transnational Threats Department and the Conflict Prevention Centre. The project is made possible through financial contributions from France, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

    The OSCE supported Moldova’s General Police Inspectorate (GPI) in adopting a revised regulation to improve the governance of its K9 Directorate and upgrading its K9 capacities through the donation of two specialized vehicles and training equipment.
    The recently updated regulation on K9 activities introduces unified standards for the operational deployment of detector dogs as well as their reproduction, acquisition, and training across specialized and territorial units. The revision brings national practices in line with international standards and good practices.
    These activities were part of the implementation of a master plan (2025–2028) developed with OSCE support and adopted by the GPI in March 2025. It provides a structured roadmap for expanding and professionalizing Moldova’s K9 capabilities, which play a vital role in law enforcement operations and public safety.
    “The two donated specialized vehicles, along with the flashlights, safety glasses, training gear, protective equipment, narcotics detection kit, scent carousel, full protective suits, trial sleeves, and training balls, will greatly enhance the Moldovan Police’s capacity to detect and combat crime,” said Viorel Cernăuțeanu, the Head of the General Police Inspectorate.
    These initiatives are part of the OSCE’s extrabudgetary project “Support to the Law Enforcement Agencies in Moldova in Response to the Security Challenges in the Region”, implemented jointly by the OSCE Secretariat’s Transnational Threats Department and the Conflict Prevention Centre. The project is made possible through financial contributions from France, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

    News story

    NB8++ joint statement on the shadow fleet

    Statement from the Nordic-Baltic 8++ on joint action to further counter Russia’s shadow fleet.

    We, the Foreign Ministers and government representatives of Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom have met today to address the challenge posed by the Russian shadow fleet. We call for further joint and coordinated action to effectively address Russian attempts to circumvent international sanctions.   

    Russia’s destabilising actions have strengthened our resolve to protect maritime security, safety, the marine environment and freedom of navigation in accordance with international law. We are particularly concerned about stateless vessels and falsely flagged vessels. Stateless vessels, including those falsely claiming to fly a flag, do not have a responsible flag state and are not entitled to rights under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), including freedom of navigation. If vessels fail to fly a valid flag in the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, we will take appropriate action within international law.   

    Today, we have agreed to further strengthen our cooperation and ensure a joint and coordinated approach by our national authorities to address Russia’s shadow fleet. We intend to compile a common set of guidelines in line with international law to promote responsible behaviour at sea, strengthen compliance with international law, and ensure transparency across maritime operations.   

    We recall that the risks posed by the shadow fleet, including potential environmental damage as well as risks to maritime safety and security, the integrity of international seaborne trade, critical undersea infrastructure and respect for international maritime rules and standards, extend far beyond the Baltic and North Seas and could have global impact. We call on others to join our efforts.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: Secretary-General’s remarks to the Security Council Open Debate on the Threats to International Peace and Security [as delivered]

    Source: United Nations secretary general

    Madam President, allow me to make a brief introduction before the briefings of my colleagues

    Excellencies,

    There are moments when the choices before us are not just consequential — they are defining. 

    Moments when the direction taken will shape not only the fate of nations, but potentially our collective future.

    This is such a moment.

    To the parties to the conflict – the potential parties to the conflict – and to the Security Council as the representative of the international community, I have a simple and clear message: 

    Give peace a chance.

    The confrontation between Israel and Iran is escalating rapidly with a terrible toll – killing and injuring civilians, devastating homes, neighborhoods and civilian infrastructure, and attacking nuclear facilities.

    The world is watching with growing alarm.

    We are not drifting toward crisis – we are racing toward it.

    We are not witnessing isolated incidents — we are on course to potential chaos.
     
    The expansion of this conflict could ignite a fire that no one can control.

    We must not let that happen.

    Excellencies,

    It may be easy to list a range of problems that have impacted relations between Israel and Iran in the last decades.

    But the central question of this conflict is the nuclear question.

    Non-proliferation is a must for the safety and security of us all.

    The Non-Proliferation Treaty is a cornerstone of international security. 

    Iran must respect it.

    And Iran has repeatedly stated that it is not seeking nuclear weapons. 

    Let’s recognize there is a trust gap. 

    The only way to bridge that gap is through diplomacy to establish a credible, comprehensive and verifiable solution – including full access to inspectors of the IAEA, as the United Nations technical agency in this field.  

    For all of that to be possible, I appeal for an end to the fighting and the return to serious negotiations.

    At this defining moment, I urge this Council to act with unity and urgency for dialogue.

    And I urge the international community to rally behind the sole path that can deliver lasting peace: diplomacy grounded in international law, including the UN Charter.

    This is even more crucial given the unfolding horrors in Gaza.

    Excellencies,

    The only thing that is predictable is that the consequences of continuing this conflict are unpredictable.

    Let us not look back on this decisive moment with regret.

    Let us act — responsibly and together — to pull the region, and our world, back from the brink.

    Thank you.

  • MIL-OSI Canada: Canada marks World Refugee Day with solidarity

    Source: Government of Canada News

    Statement

    Ottawa, June 20, 2025—The Honourable Lena Metlege Diab, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, the Honourable Anita Anand, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Honourable Randeep Sarai, Secretary of State (International Development), today issued the following statement:

    “On World Refugee Day, Canada reaffirms its commitment to meet humanitarian needs, address the root causes of forced displacement and find lasting solutions for refugees and other displaced people. We honour their strength and resilience, and recognize the important contributions they make in the communities that welcome them.

    In 2024, the number of people forcibly displaced due to escalating conflicts, emerging crises, persecution and the effects of climate change rose to 123.2 million—the highest number ever recorded. Canada welcomed more than 49,000 refugees last year through resettlement programs, including government-assisted, privately sponsored and blended support.

    We work with experienced and trusted international partners like the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration to prioritize support for the most vulnerable forcibly displaced populations. From 2024 to 2026, under the government-assisted refugees program, Canada will resettle 12,000 refugees from Africa, the Middle East and Asia, 4,000 from the Americas and 4,000 from Sudan. This includes women and girls, LGBTQI+ people, religious minorities and those affected by conflict or displacement.

    In November, Canada announced $50.4 million in flexible, multi-year funding to UNHCR over the next four years. This complements Canada’s ongoing humanitarian assistance to UNHCR, which provides immediate, life-saving support to refugees and other displaced populations worldwide, addressing their urgent humanitarian and protection needs.

    Canada continues to support those affected by conflict, including in Sudan. In February 2025, Canada expanded its immigration measures to resettle up to 4,000 Sudanese government-assisted refugees by 2026 and an additional 700 refugees through private sponsorship. We are also increasing family-based permanent residence spaces from 3,250 to over 5,000 applications. These efforts will help about 10,000 individuals find safety and opportunity in Canada.

    By welcoming refugees, we reaffirm Canada’s values of compassion, human rights and inclusion. Together, we are building a stronger, more resilient country—one where everyone can thrive in safety and peace.”

    Congresswoman Barragán Holds Tele-Town Hall on the Ongoing ICE Raids and Deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles County

    Long Beach, CA — This evening, Congresswoman Nanette Barragán (CA-44) hosted a Tele-Town Hall to address the ongoing ICE raids and Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marines in Los Angeles County. Congresswoman Barragán spoke to nearly 8,000 participants about the Trump administration’s decision to target immigrant families and entire communities —not serious criminals— and how this has sparked fear, anxiety, and protests across the region. She raised concerns about the use of federal troops in neighborhoods where local officials had already confirmed the situation was under control, calling it an unnecessary public show of force and political theater.

    Congresswoman Barragán was joined by representatives from the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA) and Immigrant Defenders Law Center, who helped answer questions and share resources. 

    “Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are terrorizing immigrant families and communities in my district and throughout Los Angeles County,” said Rep. Barragán. “We’re seeing ICE agents gathering near our schools and the recent raids forcing communities to cancel local events because people are too afraid to gather in public spaces. And when our communities spoke up through protest, Trump responded by sending in the National Guard and Marines. This isn’t just about immigration. It’s about democracy. It’s about whether the federal government will protect people’s rights or punish them for speaking out.”

    “This moment demands both clear understanding and united effort,” said Angelica Salas, Executive Director for CHIRLA. “We’ve spent decades creating systems to help immigrants. This work is incredibly pertinent now – immigrants and community members should know they are not alone in this process.”

    “Misinformation is more dangerous now than ever, in light of ICE’s presence in Los Angeles,” said Matthew Toyama, Managing Attorney at CHIRLA. “People are being detained and deported because they don’t know they have options when interacting with immigration officers and attorneys willing to protect their rights. These are times that test the fabric of our Constitution and our consciences.”

    “Fear is spreading through our immigrant communities,” said Kristen Hunsberger, Managing Attorney at Immigrant Defenders Law Center. “Now is an essential time for people to know there are resources and information available to them – and we are here to help with that. Immigrant rights are human rights, and should be defended just as strongly.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: NIST Names Shyam Sunder Associate Director for Laboratory Programs

    Source: US Government research organizations

    Dr. Shyam Sunder

    GAITHERSBURG, Md. — The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) announced that S. Shyam Sunder has been selected as its new Associate Director for Laboratory Programs (ADLP), effective June 1, 2025.

    In this role, Sunder will provide leadership and oversight to NIST’s laboratories, which provide vital measurement and research services that underpin technology innovation in the United States. NIST’s non-regulatory science mission is executed in close partnership with industry through its laboratory programs by supporting new technologies, services and markets, and industry-led, consensus-based standards that help American companies compete around the world. 

    “Shyam’s expertise and practical background, as well as his more than 30 years in leadership roles at NIST, make him an invaluable asset as we continue to push boundaries in critical and emerging technologies,” said Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and Acting NIST Director Craig Burkhardt. “Shyam will play a crucial role in helping NIST accelerate advances at the forefront of measurement science, which is the foundation for unleashing technological innovation and U.S. economic competitiveness.”

    Sunder previously served as director of NIST’s Special Programs Office and Acting Director of the Standards Coordination Office. In these roles, he established and managed the NIST Safety Commission, which issued a comprehensive set of findings and recommendations to improve NIST’s safety culture and the effectiveness of its safety protocols. In response to the CHIPS for America Act, he led NIST’s cross-laboratory team, engaging more than 800 stakeholders to assess and publish seven “grand challenges” to advance the U.S. semiconductor industry. He further led NIST’s efforts to establish a competitively selected Standardization Center of Excellence to accelerate U.S. engagement in international standardization for critical and emerging technologies through a cooperative agreement with the private sector-led U.S. standards system.

    Sunder’s prior positions include founding director of NIST’s Engineering Laboratory, director of its Building and Fire Research Laboratory (BFRL), and chief of BFRL’s Structures and Materials Division. He co-chaired White House National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) panels that set the federal R&D agenda for Net-Zero Energy High-Performance Buildings and Cyber-Physical Systems.

    Before joining NIST in 1994, he served on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology faculty. He received master and doctor of science degrees from MIT, and a bachelor of technology with distinction from the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.

    Sunder is a recipient of the Presidential Rank Award of Distinguished Executive, and the U.S. Department of Commerce Gold Medal Award, its highest honor, for distinguished leadership of the federal building and fire safety investigation of the World Trade Center disaster after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. He was elected to the National Academy of Construction in 2012.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Teenager jailed for stabbing school friend to death in east London park

    Source: United Kingdom London Metropolitan Police

    A teenager has been jailed for stabbing his school friend to death in an east London park.

    A 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was sentenced to 12 years’ imprisonment at the Old Bailey on Friday, 20 June.

    The judge ruled he was a ‘dangerous offender’ and ordered that he must serve at least seven years of his sentence in prison.

    He was found guilty at the same court of the manslaughter of 15-year-old Pharell Garica following a trial that concluded on Friday, 7 February. He was found not guilty of murder.

    The court heard that the defendant, who was aged 15 at the time, stabbed Pharell in the heart, chased him until he collapsed then fled without helping him and disposed of the weapon.

    The defendant admitted stabbing Pharell, but claimed it was in self-defence. However, the jury disagreed with this account.

    Detective Chief Inspector Kelly Allen from the Met’s Specialist Crime Command, who led the investigation, said: “Our thoughts very much remain with Pharell’s family and friends, who had to re-live the last traumatic moments of his young life during the trial after the defendant failed to take responsibility for his actions.

    “Somehow the defendant came to be in possession of a multi-tool, which he claimed in court was carried to the scene by the victim. The evidence we gathered disputed the defendant’s account that he grabbed the multi-tool and delivered a fatal blow to save his life. When the defendant became in possession of that weapon he had a choice. He could have walked away, he could’ve thrown the multi-tool to the floor. Instead, he chose to stab Pharell in the heart and then chased him, still armed with the knife, until he saw the victim collapse from his fatal injuries. Instead of rushing over to help his former friend, he fled the scene and tried to dispose of the evidence.

    “Our investigation revealed that the defendant had a fascination with knives after we found 43 images and videos from 16 and 17 July alone of him playing with knives.”

    Detective Superintendent Brittany Clarke, who leads policing in Hackney and Tower Hamlets, said: “Pharell’s death was first and foremost a devastating tragedy for his family and friends, but it also had considerable impact across our local communities.

    “While overall violence has been reducing in Hackney, tragic events such as this serve as a reminder that too many of our children and young people have to contend with the callous reality of knife crime. We continue to work night and day, with the council, local charities and wider partners to address both the root causes of knife crime and to deter people from carrying knives through police action.

    “If any young person feels they need to carry a knife please speak to a parent, carer, teacher, youth leader or adult you trust and we can get you the support to step back from that decision safely.”

    Police were called at around 16.05hrs on Tuesday, 23 July to Stellman Close, E5 to reports of a stabbing.

    Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended, but sadly Pharell was pronounced dead at the scene.

    The court heard that Pharell and the defendant, who used to be friends before a falling out, met in the park shortly before the attack. The defendant had told a mutual friend that he was going to fight Pharell as he was talking about him.

    Following Pharell’s death, the police received some information, which led them to make an arrest enquiry at the defendant’s address. He was not home.

    Detectives soon tracked him down to a family friend’s house, where he stayed following the manslaughter, and he was arrested at 05:07hrs on Wednesday, 24 July.

    Detectives then began their lengthy investigation of gathering evidence to prove the defendant was responsible for killing Pharell. They reviewed hours CCTV that captured the defendant entering the park, before putting his hood-up, walking to the area where the attacked happened with Pharell, chasing Pharell out of the park while still holding the knife and then finally disposing of the weapon.

    The weapon was recovered close to where the defendant was seen discarding it on CCTV. The multi-tool was forensically linked to both the defendant and Pharell.

    Officers also analysed the defendant’s mobile phone which showed communication of Snapchat between the pair in the days leading up to the manslaughter, as well as 43 videos and photos of the defendant playing with knives only a week before the killing on Tuesday, 16 and Wednesday, 17 July. The defendant also messaged his mother following the attack saying he could not come home, to remove certain items from their home and asking to go to Portugal.

    The defendant gave a prepared statement to officers admitting to stabbing Pharell but saying he did it in self-defence after getting the knife off him – something detectives and the jury disputed.

    He was charged on Thursday, 25 July and was convicted as above.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES.

    This press release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of the Trust’s amended and restated prospectus supplement dated December 6, 2024 to its base shelf prospectus dated January 3, 2024.

    TORONTO, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sprott Inc. (NYSE/TSX: SII) (“Sprott”) on behalf of the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (TSX: U.UN) (TSX: U.U) (“SPUT” or the “Trust”), is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced upsized bought deal public offering (the “Offering”), pursuant to which 11,600,000 units of the Trust (the “Units”) were issued at a price of US$17.25 per Unit for total gross proceeds of approximately US$200 million. Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the “Underwriter”) acted as sole underwriter for the Offering.

    The net proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Trust to acquire physical uranium in the form of uranium oxide in concentrates and related fees and expenses in accordance with the Trust’s objective and subject to the Trust’s investment and operating restrictions. The net proceeds per Unit received by the Trust were not less than 100% of the most recently calculated net asset value of the Trust per Unit prior to the determination of the pricing of the Offering.

    “We are very pleased to have completed this Offering with the strong support from both current and new SPUT unitholders,” said John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management. “This transaction, the non-brokered private placement completed in May and the Trust’s at-the-market equity program demonstrate the Trust’s ability to continue to raise capital through a variety of methods.”

    “The long-term investment thesis for uranium continues to improve as a nuclear renaissance unfolds globally with announcements around plant life extensions and new builds accelerating, supported by new government policies,” continued Mr. Ciampaglia. “We are pleased to provide investors the opportunity to participate in this long-term secular trend through access to the world’s largest physical uranium fund1.”

    The Trust suspended its at-the-market equity program to facilitate the Offering and agreed with the Underwriter not to issue any Units, including under the at-the-market equity program, for a period of 30 days from the closing of the Offering without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

    No securities regulatory authority has either approved or disapproved the contents of this press release. This press release is not an offer or a solicitation of an offer of securities for sale in the United States. The Units have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.

    NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR DISSEMINATION DIRECTLY, OR INDIRECTLY, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN OR INTO THE UNITED STATES.

    This press release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of the Trust’s amended and restated prospectus supplement dated December 6, 2024 to its base shelf prospectus dated January 3, 2024.

    TORONTO, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sprott Inc. (NYSE/TSX: SII) (“Sprott”) on behalf of the Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (TSX: U.UN) (TSX: U.U) (“SPUT” or the “Trust”), is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced upsized bought deal public offering (the “Offering”), pursuant to which 11,600,000 units of the Trust (the “Units”) were issued at a price of US$17.25 per Unit for total gross proceeds of approximately US$200 million. Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the “Underwriter”) acted as sole underwriter for the Offering.

    The net proceeds of the Offering will be used by the Trust to acquire physical uranium in the form of uranium oxide in concentrates and related fees and expenses in accordance with the Trust’s objective and subject to the Trust’s investment and operating restrictions. The net proceeds per Unit received by the Trust were not less than 100% of the most recently calculated net asset value of the Trust per Unit prior to the determination of the pricing of the Offering.

    “We are very pleased to have completed this Offering with the strong support from both current and new SPUT unitholders,” said John Ciampaglia, CEO of Sprott Asset Management. “This transaction, the non-brokered private placement completed in May and the Trust’s at-the-market equity program demonstrate the Trust’s ability to continue to raise capital through a variety of methods.”

    “The long-term investment thesis for uranium continues to improve as a nuclear renaissance unfolds globally with announcements around plant life extensions and new builds accelerating, supported by new government policies,” continued Mr. Ciampaglia. “We are pleased to provide investors the opportunity to participate in this long-term secular trend through access to the world’s largest physical uranium fund1.”

    The Trust suspended its at-the-market equity program to facilitate the Offering and agreed with the Underwriter not to issue any Units, including under the at-the-market equity program, for a period of 30 days from the closing of the Offering without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

    No securities regulatory authority has either approved or disapproved the contents of this press release. This press release is not an offer or a solicitation of an offer of securities for sale in the United States. The Units have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state of the United States, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.

  • MIL-OSI: Tesla To Offer Extended EV Test Drive Experiences Via Electrify Expos’ Weekender Program

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    • Tesla will be the exclusive partner at Electrify Expo LA for the Electrify Weekender program with additional automakers to be announced for future cities
    • Electrify Weekender is an extended test drive program exclusive to Electrify Expo attendees where they can take their EV of choice home and experience how it fits in their everyday life

    LOS ANGELES, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Electrify Expo, North America’s largest electric vehicle (EV) and technology festival, today announced Electrify Weekender, an extended test drive program exclusively available to Electrify Expo attendees giving them the opportunity to extend their EV experiences beyond the gates of the festival and further familiarize themselves with EV technology building buyer confidence before making a purchase. The program kicks off with Tesla as the exclusive partner at Electrify Expo Los Angeles on June 21-22.

    “Electrify Weekender gives people the freedom to experience EVs on their own terms,” said BJ Birtwell, founder and CEO of Electrify Expo. “At our festivals, thousands of attendees get their first taste of EVs through hands-on demos, and that’s often the spark that starts their journey. With Weekender, we’re extending that experience into real life. Giving people more time behind the wheel builds confidence, and confidence drives adoption. This program is about breaking outdated myths, reaching new audiences and showing how EVs seamlessly fit into everyday life. My first EV experience was in a Tesla, so launching this with them feels like a full-circle moment. Now it’s time for others to have that same ‘light bulb’ moment.”

    Tesla has been the industry leader delivering high-performance vehicles and innovative models. With Tesla’s large role in shaping the industry, the collaboration with Electrify Weekender marks another milestone in the company’s investment in EV accessibility and adoption.

    Attendees may sign up for the extended test drive program ahead of time or on-site at the festival. After selecting their preferred model, information is passed to the automaker who coordinates with local stores to schedule a two day driving experience.

  • MIL-OSI: Nerdio Surpasses $100 Million in Annual Recurring Revenue as Enterprises Shift to Microsoft Cloud

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CHICAGO, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nerdio, the automated end-user computing (EUC) management platform transforming how organizations deploy and manage Microsoft Cloud technologies, today announced that it has surpassed $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR), reaching this mark in just over five years. The milestone underscores Nerdio’s rapid ascent as enterprises seek easier, more cost-effective ways to manage Microsoft Azure, Windows 365, and Intune environments at scale. The achievement comes just months after Nerdio’s $500 million Series C funding round, which propelled the company’s valuation past $1 billion.

    “Enterprises are quickly moving from legacy VDI to cloud-based solutions—but managing Microsoft Cloud technologies at scale isn’t easy,” said Vadim Vladimirskiy, Co-Founder and CEO of Nerdio. “That complexity has created a huge opportunity for Nerdio. By automating the hard parts of cloud management, we’re helping IT teams cut costs, move faster, and do more with less.”

    Over the past year, Nerdio has added more than 400 new enterprise customers and now serves over 15,000 organizations across 50+ countries. Global brands, including Chevron, Kraft Heinz, Setfords, Sage, and more rely on Nerdio to manage and scale their Microsoft Cloud environments.

    Nerdio automates the deployment and management of Azure Virtual Desktop, Windows 365, and Intune—eliminating manual work like provisioning virtual machines, setting policies, and managing user access. Its robust automation engine also helps organizations right-size their cloud usage, optimize spend, and ensure policy compliance across environments.

    Nerdio’s growing portfolio of AI capabilities is further transforming how IT teams manage Microsoft Cloud services. With AI-driven recommendations, proactive issue detection, and intelligent scripting support, Nerdio makes it easier to identify inefficiencies, resolve issues faster, and streamline operations without requiring deep Azure expertise.

    Achieving $100 million in ARR is just the latest of many major milestones for Nerdio. Over the past year, the company has:

    • Raised $500 million in Series C funding and achieved unicorn status.
    • Won the 2024 Microsoft Americas Partner of the Year award.
    • Influenced more than $350 million of Microsoft revenue.
    • Launched over 20 product releases while integrating AI into all its offerings.

    “We built Nerdio to help enterprises scale efficiently—and we’ve followed that same playbook ourselves,” said Joseph Landes, Co-Founder and CRO. “We’ve hit $100 million ARR in just over five years by staying focused on customer needs, Microsoft innovation, and capital-efficient growth.”

    About Nerdio

  • MIL-OSI: Maximize Your Crypto Gains: 100x Leverage, $50 Bonus, Double Deposit Bonus & No KYC – Only on BexBack

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin has firmly maintained a price above $100,000, signaling that the crypto bull market is still going strong. As market volatility continues, savvy investors are eager to capitalize on the ongoing bullish trend. To help traders make the most of this opportunity, BexBack is launching an exciting promotion that includes a 100% deposit bonus, 100x leverage, and no KYC requirements for crypto futures trading.

    What Is the 100% Deposit Bonus and How Does It Work?

    The 100% deposit bonus is an exclusive offer that doubles your trading capital. For example, if you deposit 1 BTC, you’ll receive an additional 1 BTC, giving you a total of 2 BTC to trade. While the bonus itself is non-withdrawable, it can be used as margin for trading. This allows you to open larger positions and maximize potential profits without risking more of your initial investment. Moreover, any profits made from trading with the bonus are fully withdrawable.

    Why Use 100x Leverage for Crypto Futures Trading?

    100x leverage offers traders the ability to control larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. For example, if Bitcoin is priced at $100,000, with 100x leverage, a $1,000 investment would allow you to control a $100,000 position. This amplifies both profits and risks. However, when managed properly, 100x leverage can significantly increase profit potential, especially during volatile market conditions. It’s a powerful tool for experienced traders looking to capitalize on both rising and falling markets.

    Why Choose BexBack for Crypto Futures Trading?

    BexBack stands out for its user-centric approach to crypto trading, offering no KYC requirements, so users can start trading instantly without lengthy identity verification processes. With up to 100x leverage on over 50 major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and XRP, BexBack provides traders with exceptional opportunities to maximize their capital and take advantage of the crypto bull run.

    Additional BexBack Benefits:

    • 24/7 Customer Support: BexBack provides round-the-clock support to assist users with their trading needs.
    • No Deposit Fees: Make deposits without incurring any fees, making your trading experience seamless and cost-effective.
    • Multiple Trading Pairs: Access a wide range of trading pairs to diversify your portfolio and find the best opportunities.

    About BexBack
