    The Justice Department announced today that Noah Lamb, 24, was charged in the Eastern District of California in an eight-count indictment for conspiracy, soliciting the murder of federal officials, and other offenses in connection with his work on a hit list of “high value targets” for assassination.

    “Transnational criminal networks that promote extremist ideology and seek to commit targeted assassinations and cause terror obviously have no place in our society,” said Assistant Attorney General John A. Eisenberg of the Justice Department’s National Security Division. “These criminal charges reflect the Justice Department’s unwavering commitment to using the full force of the law to disrupt and prosecute those who use hate-driven violence to threaten public safety and national security.”

    “The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division is committed to aggressively pursuing those who engage in hate-fueled conspiracies and terrorist threats,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “We will use every tool available to protect the civil rights of all Americans and ensure justice for those targeted by such heinous acts.”

    “The defendant collaborated with members of the online Terrorgram Collective to create a list of targets for assassination,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Michele Beckwith for the Eastern District of California. “Individuals on the list were targeted because of race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity, including federal officials. The U.S. Attorney’s Office will work tirelessly with our partners in law enforcement and in the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute those who commit such violations of federal criminal law.”

    “The FBI stands vigilant, protecting our homeland against individuals who seek to use violence to target the American people, our democracy, and the freedoms we stand for,” said Special Agent in Charge Sid Patel of the FBI Sacramento Field Office. “These charges send a clear message of zero tolerance to anyone who advocates the use of violence to promote their ideology.”

    According to the indictment, which was unsealed today, Lamb was a member of the Terrorgram Collective, a transnational terrorist group that operates on the digital messaging platform Telegram, where it promotes racially or ethnically motivated violent extremism. Members of the Terrorgram Collective believe the white race is superior; that society is irreparably corrupt and cannot be saved by political action; and that violence and terrorism are necessary to ignite a race war and accelerate the collapse of the government and the rise of a white ethnostate.

    The indictment alleges that Lamb conspired with other members of the Terrorgram Collective to create and disseminate a hit list of “high-value targets” for assassination that includes U.S. federal, state, and local officials, as well as leaders of private companies and non-governmental organizations, targeted because of race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

    The indictment charges Lamb with a total of eight federal crimes, including one count of conspiracy, three counts of soliciting the murder of federal officials, three counts of doxing federal officials, and one count of threatening communications. If convicted, Lamb faces a maximum penalty of 85 years in prison.

    The FBI Sacramento Field Office investigated the case.

    The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, National Security Division, and U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California are prosecuting the case.

    An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

    The MIL Network –

  • MIL-OSI: BexBack Launches 100% Deposit Bonus for Crypto Futures Traders – No KYC, Up to 100x Leverage Now Available

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BexBack, a rapidly growing cryptocurrency derivatives platform, has officially launched its limited-time 100% deposit bonus campaign, enabling new and existing users to instantly double their trading capital. With no KYC requirements, traders can start immediately and access up to 100x leverage on over 50 crypto futures contracts, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP. This timely promotion is designed to empower both novice and experienced traders to maximize their profit potential in a highly volatile market environment.

    Why Use 100x Leverage for Crypto Futures Trading?

    1. Amplified Profits with Minimal Capital

    Leverage is one of the most powerful tools in a trader’s arsenal. With 100x leverage, you can control a position worth 100 times your initial capital, allowing you to maximize profits from even the smallest price movements. For example, if Bitcoin is trading at $100,000 and you enter a long position with 1 BTC, after using 100x leverage, your position size is equivalent to 100 BTC. If Bitcoin’s price rises by just 1%, your profit could be up to 100% of your initial investment.

    2. Lower Entry Barriers

    With traditional trading, you need a large amount of capital to participate in high-value trades. With 100x leverage, you only need a fraction of the capital, making it easier for both new and experienced traders to engage in large trades without the need for substantial upfront investments.

    3. Flexibility in Market Conditions

    Unlike spot trading, where profits can only be made when prices rise, 100x leverage allows you to profit from both rising and falling markets. With leverage, you can go long or short, giving you the flexibility to adapt to any market conditions and maximize returns no matter what direction the market moves.

    Who Should Use 100x Leverage?

    100x leverage is a great tool, but it’s not for everyone. Experienced traders who understand the risks of leverage and are comfortable with the potential for both higher returns and higher risks are ideal candidates. This type of trading is well-suited for:

    • Day traders and scalpers who are looking to capitalize on small market fluctuations.
    • Experienced investors who are familiar with margin trading and have a solid risk management strategy.
    • Traders seeking high returns who are comfortable taking on more risk in exchange for the possibility of larger profits.

    If you are new to leverage trading, it’s important to start small, practice on demo accounts, and gradually increase your exposure as you gain more confidence and understanding of the market.

    Why Choose BexBack?

  • MIL-OSI: BexBack Launches 100% Deposit Bonus for Crypto Futures Traders – No KYC, Up to 100x Leverage Now Available

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BexBack, a rapidly growing cryptocurrency derivatives platform, has officially launched its limited-time 100% deposit bonus campaign, enabling new and existing users to instantly double their trading capital. With no KYC requirements, traders can start immediately and access up to 100x leverage on over 50 crypto futures contracts, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP. This timely promotion is designed to empower both novice and experienced traders to maximize their profit potential in a highly volatile market environment.

    Why Use 100x Leverage for Crypto Futures Trading?

    1. Amplified Profits with Minimal Capital

    Leverage is one of the most powerful tools in a trader’s arsenal. With 100x leverage, you can control a position worth 100 times your initial capital, allowing you to maximize profits from even the smallest price movements. For example, if Bitcoin is trading at $100,000 and you enter a long position with 1 BTC, after using 100x leverage, your position size is equivalent to 100 BTC. If Bitcoin’s price rises by just 1%, your profit could be up to 100% of your initial investment.

    2. Lower Entry Barriers

    With traditional trading, you need a large amount of capital to participate in high-value trades. With 100x leverage, you only need a fraction of the capital, making it easier for both new and experienced traders to engage in large trades without the need for substantial upfront investments.

    3. Flexibility in Market Conditions

    Unlike spot trading, where profits can only be made when prices rise, 100x leverage allows you to profit from both rising and falling markets. With leverage, you can go long or short, giving you the flexibility to adapt to any market conditions and maximize returns no matter what direction the market moves.

    Who Should Use 100x Leverage?

    100x leverage is a great tool, but it’s not for everyone. Experienced traders who understand the risks of leverage and are comfortable with the potential for both higher returns and higher risks are ideal candidates. This type of trading is well-suited for:

    • Day traders and scalpers who are looking to capitalize on small market fluctuations.
    • Experienced investors who are familiar with margin trading and have a solid risk management strategy.
    • Traders seeking high returns who are comfortable taking on more risk in exchange for the possibility of larger profits.

    If you are new to leverage trading, it’s important to start small, practice on demo accounts, and gradually increase your exposure as you gain more confidence and understanding of the market.

    Why Choose BexBack?

    1. No KYC Required

    BexBack is a no-KYC platform, meaning you can start trading immediately without the need for complex identity verification. This makes the trading process faster and more efficient for those who value privacy and speed.

  • MIL-OSI Banking: Copilot updates in Power BI: More ways to see, learn from and ask about your report data

    Source: Microsoft

    Headline: Copilot updates in Power BI: More ways to see, learn from and ask about your report data

    We’re introducing new capabilities that expand how and where you can use Copilot for Power BI to engage with report data. Whether you’re chatting with your data, receiving a report subscription email, or even viewing reports in PowerPoint, Copilot helps you see key takeaways, learn what matters most, and ask meaningful questions, all while remaining grounded in the trusted report visuals.

    Updates in this blog include:

    • Ask data questions to your reports in ‘chat with your data’ experience.
    • Superlative (aka ranking) question support for report questions.
    • Narrative summaries in subscription emails.
    • Narrative visual enabled in export to PDF/PPT static scenarios (subscriptions).

    The idea behind these updates is that they allow users to ask about and read about report data across many surfaces.  Narrative report capabilities will meet you where you’re at.

    Let’s check out what’s new:

    Ask Questions and Get Answers in Chat with Your Data

    We recently announced the chat with your data experience. We’ve expanded the experience to make it even more useful and report aware. Previously, Copilot could provide high-level summaries of report data and answer questions from the semantic model. Now, it goes a step further:

    • You can ask Copilot natural language questions directly about report data, and it will generate answers using the actual visuals from your report – those same visuals that authors intentionally designed to answer real business questions.
    • Copilot will render report visuals in the chat with your data experience as part of the responses for clarity and transparency, making it easy to trace insights back to the data.
    • Report answers/summaries can now handle superlative/ranking questions more intelligently (e.g., ‘Which product had the highest sales?’). If visuals in your report can be sorted (like bar charts, tables, or matrices) Copilot can sort and surface that data to answer with accuracy.

    Smarter Email Subscriptions: Copilot Summaries + Narrative Visuals

    Recently, we announced that report subscriptions can be enhanced with Copilot summaries. Subscription emails can include a Copilot-generated summary at the top, offering a high-level overview of major trends, patterns, and KPIs. This summary is automatically tailored to the report content and provides helpful context before diving into the report.

    We’re excited to announce that in addition, any narrative visuals embedded in the report will now render inline in the body of the subscription email. These narrative visuals are key parts of reports and provide targeted, human-readable insights, making it easier to digest the report at a glance.

    Whether you’re a stakeholder scanning your inbox or a user looking for quick insights, these updates reduce the time it takes to get oriented and increase the value of your subscriptions.

    Narrative Visuals Now Included in Exported Reports

    Lastly, we’re making it easier to preserve narrative insights when sharing reports externally. The narrative visual is now supported in PDF and PowerPoint exports via the “Export as screenshot” (static data) options in Power BI.

    This means reports that include smart narrative summaries can now carry that context forward when exported, ensuring that the story behind the data remains intact for all audiences.

    Available now in static/screenshot exports.
    Live connect exports support coming.

    These updates are part of our broader vision to make Copilot a seamless companion throughout your Power BI experience, helping you quickly understand, navigate, and communicate the value of your data. More exciting updates are on the way, including one of the most anticipated: filtered report responses. Copilot will be able to understand filters in your questions and respond with filtered data. Stay tuned!

    We can’t wait to see how you’ll use these new capabilities to unlock even more value from your reports.

  • MIL-OSI Canada: More flexibility for development charges will unlock more homes for people

    Source: Government of Canada regional news

    George V. Harvie, mayor of Delta – 

    “On behalf of the City of Delta, I want to thank the Government of B.C. for introducing this timely and much-needed change. Delta council and I have been advocating to allow local governments more flexibility to support housing development, while continuing to deliver the infrastructure our growing communities depend on. This smart, balanced policy shift will support both growth and sustainability.” 

    Brenda Locke, mayor of Surrey – 

    “Reducing upfront costs for homebuilders is a progressive approach to encourage more housing creation. When developers have fewer financial barriers, they can get projects off the ground faster and accelerate construction timelines, which means homes become more affordable for families. Everyone deserves a safe, welcoming place to call home and this step will help build stronger, more vibrant communities where people can truly thrive.” 

    Mike Hurley, mayor of Burnaby – 

    “It’s encouraging to see the Province providing more tools and flexibility to accelerate the creation of new housing. These changes demonstrate the collaborative approach we’re taking to address the housing crisis, and we look forward to more solutions in the near future.”

    Tom Dyas, mayor of Kelowna – 

    “Incentivizing development supports our economy and helps build homes faster in Kelowna. Modernizing outdated regulations is a positive step. Locally, we have taken bold action to create and incentivize new housing, and we look forward to working with the Province and industry to advance key projects.” 

    Nathan Pachal, mayor, City of Langley –  

    “In a housing crisis, we must look at every and any innovative way to ensure cities can deliver on much-needed infrastructure, while providing more flexible financial options for home builders. Langley City is piloting on-demand surety bonds today and it is exciting to see this being rolled out provincewide.” 

    Anne McMullin, president and CEO, Urban Development Institute –

    “The requirement to pay development fees up front has become increasingly onerous for builders, especially as fees rise and access to capital tightens. By shifting payment to occupancy, the provincial government is enabling more projects to move forward. This policy lowers early-stage financing costs, frees up capital for construction and helps builders reinvest in new housing.” 

    Neil Moody, CEO, Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC – 

    “Our association has long advocated for flexibility in managing upfront development costs, which present significant financial barriers to homebuilders. The ability to defer a portion of development charges and use on-demand surety bonds is a practical measure to address the current economic realities of building housing across British Columbia. This announcement reflects significant collaboration that will help unlock capital, ease cost pressures and support the delivery of more homes.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: Congresswoman Torres Fights to Protect Californians from Harmful Republican Cuts in the Big Ugly Bill By Introducing Key Amendments

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman Norma Torres (35th District of California)

    July 02, 2025

    Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Norma Torres introduced critical amendments to the House Republican-led reconciliation package to protect Americans from the bill’s most harmful provisions and ensure policies that would serve working families.

    Trump and Republicans have loaded this package with measures that gut healthcare, nutrition assistance, and state tax relief programs—stripping essential support from millions of working families, seniors, and children across the country. In response, Congresswoman Torres introduced several amendments that would  protect California’s most vulnerable.

    “The American people are not bargaining chips for partisan politics,” said Congresswoman Torres. “This Republican mega-bill is nothing short of a targeted attack on working families, healthcare access, and basic nutrition programs. I fought to include amendments that defend Californians, especially those in the Inland Empire, from these reckless cuts.”

    The Amendments Congresswoman Torres is introducing include: 

    • Amendment  #1 – Removes the harmful provisions that (1) cut the Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal in California, and (2) change the Affordable Care Act, protecting health care and lowering health insurance costs for tens of millions of Americans.

    • Amendment #2 – Removes the harmful provisions that cut SNAP benefits, known as CalFresh in California, that tens of millions of Americans rely on to put food on the table.

    • Amendment #3 – Eliminates the $10,000 cap on State and Local Tax (SALT) Deductions that unfairly penalizes Californians, removing the  cap on August 1, 2025.

    • Amendment #4 – Protects states from politically motivated federal funding cuts.

    • Amendment #5 – This amendment prohibits FEMA from canceling grants that have already been awarded, except in cases of fraud or noncompliance, and requires reporting to Congress if a cancellation occurs.

    • Amendment  #6 – This amendment prohibits ICE agents from using chemical irritants against Members of Congress and imposes criminal penalties for violations.

    • Amendment #7 – This amendment requires ICE agents to visibly display badges and present official identification during enforcement actions to prevent impersonation and ensure public accountability.

    • Amendment #8 – Prohibits the use of federal funds to deport non-citizen U.S. military veterans unless they have had access to legal counsel and a fair hearing before an immigration judge. It also requires the Department of Homeland Security to report to Congress within 180 days on the number of such veterans in removal proceedings, their case outcomes, and whether they had legal representation.

    “These amendments aren’t just policy—they’re personal,” Torres continued. “They reflect the lives and needs of the people I represent. I’ll continue fighting to make sure Congress protects—not punishes—the American people.”

  • MIL-OSI Africa: International Monetary Fund (IMF) Staff Completes 2025 Article IV Mission with Nigeria


    Download logo

    The Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV Consultation with Nigeria.(1)

    The Nigerian authorities have implemented major reforms over the past two years which have improved macroeconomic stability and enhanced resilience. The authorities have removed costly fuel subsidies, stopped monetary financing of the fiscal deficit and improved the functioning of the foreign exchange market. Investor confidence has strengthened, helping Nigeria successfully tap the Eurobond market and leading to a resumption of portfolio inflows. At the same time, poverty and food insecurity have risen, and the government is now focused on raising growth.

    Growth accelerated to 3.4 percent in 2024, driven mainly by increased hydrocarbon output and vibrant services sector. Agriculture remained subdued, owing to security challenges and sliding productivity. Real GDP is expected to expand by 3.4 percent in 2025, supported by the new domestic refinery, higher oil production and robust services. Against a complex and uncertain external environment, medium-term growth is projected to hover around 3½ percent, supported by domestic reform gains.

    Gross and net international reserves increased in 2024, with a strong current account surplus and improved portfolio inflows. Reforms to the fx market and foreign exchange interventions have brought stability to the naira.

    Naira stabilization and improvements in food production brought inflation to 23.7 percent year-on-year in April 2025 from 31 percent annual average in 2024 in the backcasted rebased CPI index released by the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics. Inflation should decline further in the medium-term with continued tight macroeconomic policies and a projected easing of retail fuel prices.

    Fiscal performance improved in 2024. Revenues benefited from naira depreciation, enhanced revenue administration and higher grants, which more-than-offset rising interest and overheads spending.

    Downside risks have increased with heightened global uncertainty. A further decline in oil prices or increase in financing costs would adversely affect growth, fiscal and external positions, undermine financial stability and exacerbate exchange rate pressures. A deterioration of security could impact growth and food insecurity.

    Executive Board Assessment (2)

    Executive Directors agreed with the thrust of the staff appraisal. They commended the authorities on the successful implementation of significant reforms during the past two years and welcomed the associated gains in macroeconomic stability and resilience. As these gains have yet to benefit all Nigerians, and with heightened economic uncertainty and significant downside risks, Directors emphasized the importance of agile policy making to safeguard and enhance macroeconomic stability, creating enabling conditions to boost growth, and reducing poverty.

    Directors agreed that the Central Bank of Nigeria is appropriately maintaining a tight monetary policy stance, which should continue until disinflation becomes entrenched. They welcomed the discontinuation of deficit monetization and ongoing efforts to strengthen central bank governance to set the institutional foundation for inflation targeting. Directors also welcomed steps taken by the authorities to build reserves and support market confidence and praised reforms to the foreign exchange market that supported price discovery and liquidity. They called for implementation of a robust foreign exchange intervention framework focused on containing excess volatility, stressing that the exchange rate is an important shock absorber. Directors also agreed with staff’s call to phase out existing capital flow management measures in a properly timed and sequenced manner.

    Directors called for a neutral fiscal stance to safeguard macroeconomic stabilization with priority given to investments that enhance growth. Directors also called for accelerating the delivery of cash transfers to assist the poor. They commended the authorities on advancing the tax reform bill, an important step towards enhancing revenue mobilization and creating fiscal space for development spending, while preserving debt sustainability.

    Directors recognized actions to strengthen the banking system, including the ongoing process of increasing banks’ minimum capital. They welcomed the authorities’ efforts to boost financial inclusion and promote capital market development, while emphasizing the importance of moving to a robust risk‑based supervision for mortgage and consumer lending schemes as well as the fintech and crypto sectors. Directors welcomed progress made in strengthening the AML/CFT framework and stressed the importance of resolving remaining weaknesses to exit the FATF grey list.

    To lift Nigeria’s growth outlook, improve food security, and reduce fragility, Directors highlighted the importance of tackling security, red tape, agricultural productivity, infrastructure gaps, including boosting electricity supply, as well as improved health and education spending, and making the economy more resilient to climate events. They noted that addressing structural impediments to private credit extension is also needed to support growth. Directors welcomed the IMF’s capacity development to support authorities’ reform efforts and agreed that enhancing data quality is critical for sound, data‑driven policymaking.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: The African Development Bank and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) scale up drive for sustainable urbanization in Africa


    Download logo

    The African Development Bank Group (www.AfDB.org) and the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enhance collaboration and accelerate action on sustainable urban transformation across the continent.

    Under the agreement, the organizations will jointly develop action plans that combine technical assistance, policy support, capacity-building, and knowledge exchange to local governments in four key spheres: urban governance, housing, municipal finance, and infrastructure development.

    The agreement was formalized on 1 July 2025 on the sidelines of the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4) in Seville, Spain.

    The Memorandum of Understanding renews an agreement signed in 2006 by the two entities to collaborate in the water and sanitation sector.

    The African Development Bank and UN-Habitat also plan to coordinate their efforts to tap into key regional and global platforms to mobilize resources for urban development in Africa, including the World Urban Forum and the Africa Investment Forum.

    “I believe that there are ways that we can use the capital markets to develop cities much better,” said African Development Bank President Akinwumi Adesina. “I am delighted that the Bank and UN-Habitat are partnering on the development of cities – I am very excited about this partnership.”

    “Cities are the engine of growth, and we need to mobilize a lot more private capital in the development of cities, which will require a different approach from the conventional public sector capital,” he added.

    The Executive Director of UN-Habitat, Anacláudia Rossbach, said: “Urbanization in Africa can either be a driver of prosperity or a deepening of poverty and exclusion. Through this renewed collaboration with the African Development Bank, we aim to help cities become engines of resilience, equity, and climate action, leaving no one behind.”

    The African Development Bank Group has significantly expanded its urban portfolio in recent years, including through the creation of a dedicated urban development division and the Urban and Municipal Development Fund to support African cities in delivering transformative, climate-resilient urban solutions. Most recently, UN-Habitat and the Bank Group signed a service agreement to prepare the Eswatini EcoCity Masterplan under an integrated urban and agricultural initiative that aims to deliver sustainable housing and create economic opportunities for over 100,000 people in Eswatini.

    Africa’s rapid growth and urbanization – the continent’s population is projected to reach 2.4 billion by 2050 –presents both opportunities and challenges. With more than half of urban residents living in informal settlements lacking basic services, adequate housing, and climate-resilient infrastructure, local governments are under increasing strain. Through this renewed partnership, the African Development Bank and UN-Habitat are joining forces to help cities respond to these challenges and harness urban growth as a driver of sustainable development.

  • Cheers, chants and drums: PM Modi receives rousing welcome from Indian community in Ghana

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday received an enthusiastic welcome from members of the Indian community in Accra, marking the start of his landmark visit to Ghana — the first by an Indian Prime Minister in over three decades.

    Shortly after landing in the West African nation, PM Modi was greeted by hundreds of Indians and locals at a hotel in Accra. The crowd chanted “Modi-Modi”, “Bharat Mata Ki Jai” and “Vande Mataram” as the Prime Minister interacted with the diaspora and held a child in his arms, drawing loud applause.

    Local artists played an instrumental version of ‘Jai Ho’ using traditional drums and instruments, while another group joined Indian families in chanting “Hare Krishna, Hare Rama”, which PM Modi acknowledged with applause.

    Ghana is home to a thriving Indian community of over 15,000, including fourth-generation families who have lived in the country for more than 70 years. Many have acquired Ghanaian citizenship, while others work with multinational companies and local businesses. The community is served by Hindu temples, a Gurudwara, an ISKCON temple largely run by Ghanaians, and an Art of Living centre.

    Earlier, Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama received PM Modi at Kotoka International Airport in a special gesture underlining the significance of the visit. The Prime Minister was accorded a ceremonial welcome at the airport before the two leaders held brief discussions at the Jubilee Lounge.

    “Ghana is a valued partner in the Global South and plays an important role in the African Union and ECOWAS. I look forward to exchanges that will deepen our historical ties and open new avenues of cooperation in investment, energy, health, security, capacity building and development partnership. As fellow democracies, it will be an honour to address Ghana’s Parliament,” PM Modi said before departing New Delhi.

    Ghana is the first stop on PM Modi’s five-nation tour, which will also cover Trinidad and Tobago, Argentina, Brazil and Namibia. Delegation-level talks are scheduled in Accra later on Wednesday, during which the two sides will review bilateral ties and explore ways to expand cooperation. The Prime Minister will also hold one-on-one talks with President Mahama, followed by a banquet in his honour.

    On Thursday, PM Modi will address Ghana’s Parliament and interact again with the Indian community.

    Briefing reporters ahead of the visit, Dammu Ravi, Secretary (ER) at the Ministry of External Affairs, said the timing of the visit — early in President Mahama’s term after his landslide election win in January — would help both sides build continuity and deepen ties.

    India and Ghana share longstanding ties dating back to Ghana’s independence in 1957. “We supported Ghana’s cause at the UN much before its independence, and the relationship has evolved into a multi-faceted partnership,” Ravi said.

    Economic cooperation is expected to dominate the talks, with Ghana seeking to attract investments and strengthen ties as it undergoes economic restructuring. Bilateral trade stands at around $3 billion, largely due to India’s gold imports. Indian investments in Ghana are estimated at $2 billion, split between the private sector and government lines of credit.

    The two sides are also expected to discuss defence cooperation, critical minerals, digital public infrastructure and plans to develop a vaccine hub for West Africa.

    The visit, the MEA said, reaffirms India’s commitment to deepen ties with Ghana and strengthen its engagement with ECOWAS and the African Union.

    July 02, 2025

    Warren: “This could be bribery in plain sight.”

    “I will soon introduce new legislation to rein in corruption through presidential library donations.”

    Washington, D.C. – Today, in response to the news that Paramount Global (Paramount) settled President Trump’s “meritless” lawsuit against 60 Minutes for $16 million paid to his future presidential library, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement:

    “With Paramount folding to Donald Trump at the same time the company needs his administration’s approval for its billion-dollar merger, this could be bribery in plain sight. Paramount has refused to provide answers to a congressional inquiry, so I’m calling for a full investigation into whether or not any anti-bribery laws were broken.”

    “This settlement exposes a glaring need for rules to restrict donations to sitting presidents’ libraries. I will soon introduce new legislation to rein in corruption through presidential library donations. The Trump administration’s level of sheer corruption is appalling and Paramount should be ashamed of putting its profits over independent journalism.”

    In May 2025, Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) wrote to Shari Redstone, Chair of Paramount, with concerns regarding whether Paramount may be engaging in potentially illegal conduct involving the Trump Administration in exchange for approval of its megamerger with Skydance Media (Skydance).

  • MIL-OSI USA: Padilla, Scanlon Announce Bicameral Legislation to Crack Down on Fraudulent Firearm Sales

    US Senate News:

    Padilla, Scanlon Announce Bicameral Legislation to Crack Down on Fraudulent Firearm Sales

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — As the gun violence epidemic continues to devastate American communities, U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Mary Gay Scanlon (D-Pa.-05) announced a bicameral bill to make the fraudulent sale, advertising, or transfer of firearms a federal crime. The Stopping the Fraudulent Sale of Firearms Act would close this dangerous loophole and address a critical gap in gun safety enforcement, including online listings that deceptively evade tech companies’ terms of service.

    Federal law requires background checks for gun sales by licensed dealers, and 22 states extend that requirement to unlicensed sellers. Still, individuals who would fail a routine background check — such as those with felony convictions, domestic violence restraining orders, or a history of severe mental illness — frequently obtain firearms through online marketplaces that lack meaningful oversight. According to Everytown, nearly 1 in 9 prospective buyers who respond to online ads from unlicensed sellers would fail a background check.

    Cracking down on fraudulent sellers would reduce the illegal flow of firearms to individuals prohibited from possessing them and strengthen efforts to protect communities from preventable violence.

    “Background checks save lives by keeping guns out of the wrong hands, but fast-growing online marketplaces are making it easier to dodge these critical protections,” said Senator Padilla. “Fraudulent sales on these online marketplaces create a backdoor for dangerous individuals — even in states with strong gun laws. By prohibiting fraudulent transactions and holding deceptive sellers accountable, our bill would reinforce background check requirements and help prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands.”

    “Background checks work, and everyone who tries to buy a gun should have to pass one,” said Representative Scanlon. “It’s time to crack down on deceptive online sales practices that give dangerous people unchecked access to guns and make our communities less safe. I’m proud to lead this common sense legislation that would make these misleading practices illegal – one solution of many that we know will reduce gun violence and save lives.”

    As the online firearm marketplace has emerged as a growing venue for anonymous gun purchases, criminals and other prohibited purchasers have gained easier access to firearms. In response, Meta, YouTube, and other technology companies have banned firearm sales on their platforms. However, sellers frequently circumvent these restrictions by fraudulently disguising listings. For example, on platforms like Facebook Marketplace, guns may be advertised as “stickers” featuring firearm brand logos, while the actual weapons are sold off the record. These tactics allow sellers to sidestep platform rules and legal requirements, enabling dangerous individuals to acquire firearms undetected. As long as online platforms remain vulnerable to abuse through disguised listings and fraudulent sales tactics, individuals intent on doing harm will continue to exploit them, putting public safety and community well-being at risk.

    To address this growing loophole, the Stopping the Fraudulent Sale of Firearms Act would amend the federal criminal code to prohibit the fraudulent importation, manufacture, and sale of firearms or ammunition, as well as the transmission of any communication related to such fraudulent activity. Violators could face a fine, up to five years in prison, or both.

    The Stopping the Fraudulent Sale of Firearms Act is endorsed by Brady United, Everytown, GIFFORDS, and Newtown Action Alliance.

    “All too often, unlicensed gun dealers circumvent firearm sale restrictions set by technology companies and create fake listings to covertly sell firearms and ammunition. This practice violates companies’ terms of service and enables widespread gun trafficking. By addressing the dangerous practice of false advertisements that facilitate firearm sales online, the Stopping the Fraudulent Sale of Firearms Act will address the realities of the 21st century and prevent deceitful gun sales. Brady is grateful to Senator Padilla for championing this critical legislation,” said Mark Collins, Director of Federal Policy, Brady.

    “Online gun traffickers are exploiting deadly loopholes to put firearms into the hands of dangerous individuals—without background checks, oversight, or accountability. The Stopping the Fraudulent Sale of Firearms Act will help close one of the internet’s most lethal black markets by cracking down on deceptive online sales. If tech platforms won’t stop these fraudulent listings, Congress must. We applaud Senator Padilla for taking bold action to protect our communities from preventable gun violence,” said Po Murray, Chairwoman, Newtown Action Alliance.

    “Gun trafficking and bypassed background checks pose a threat to public safety and to law enforcement. Deceptively selling firearms and ammunition online will result in dangerous weapons falling into the hands of dangerous individuals who should not have them. I want to thank Senator Padilla for highlighting this important issue, and for putting forth this crucial bill to address it,” said Emma Brown, Executive Director of GIFFORDS.

    Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Andy Kim (D-N.J.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), and Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) are cosponsoring the bill.

    Senator Padilla is a strong advocate for commonsense, lifesaving gun safety reforms. Last week, Padilla introduced bicameral legislation to prevent the federal government from contracting with federally licensed firearms dealers that have a documented history of selling a disproportionate number of guns that end up being used to commit violent crimes. Earlier this year, Padilla co-led the bicameral reintroduction of the Assault Weapons Ban of 2025, legislation to reinstate a nationwide ban on military-style assault weapons. He also led 18 Senators in introducing the Age 21 Act, legislation to raise the minimum age to purchase assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines from 18 to 21, the same age requirement that already applies to purchasing handguns from federally licensed dealers. In June 2022, Padilla voted to pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the most significant gun safety legislation in almost 30 years. In 2023, Padilla joined 27 of his Senate colleagues in reintroducing the Keep Americans Safe Act, renewing efforts to ban the importation, sale, manufacturing, transfer, or possession of gun magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Public advisory on Blue Green Algae

    Source: Northern Ireland City of Armagh

    With the summer holidays underway, now is a good time to highlight the dangers posed to humans and pets by blue-green algae and the importance of reporting any sightings of the algae.

    As a precautionary measure, warning signage will be erected at sites where blue-green algae has been detected, to warn visitors of its presence and advise that adults, children, and animals should avoid contact with the algae and the water close to it due to its harmful effects.

    Swallowing the water can cause stomach upsets or severe illness to people and death to animals. Contact with the water or the blue-green algae can also cause rashes and skin problems.

    HOW TO REPORT BLUE-GREEN ALGAE

    Members of the public are advised to report concerns using the Bloomin’ Algae App to help provide a rapid and more comprehensive picture of harmful algal blooms in the area and inform the relevant environment agency, local authority or landowner. Alternatively you can visit, click here: https://www.ceh.ac.uk/our-science/projects/bloomin-algae

    WHAT IS BLUE-GREEN ALGAE?

    Blue-green algae are natural inhabitants of many inland waters, estuaries and the sea. Although referred to as algae they are, in fact, a type of bacteria (known as cyanobacteria) with the ability to use the sun’s energy to make food in the same way that many plants do. They may be found in suspension, attached to rocks and other surfaces at the bottom of shallow waterbodies and along the edges of lakes and rivers. The term blue-green algae includes a number of different species.

    All species of blue-green algae need nutrients – nitrates and phosphates – to grow. If the water is enriched with nutrients and there is calm, sunny and warm weather conditions, then the growth may become excessive resulting in algal blooms.

    These algal blooms cause the water to appear discoloured green, blue-green or greenish-brown and some species can produce a musty odour. When the blooms die, they break down, using up oxygen in the water and cause problems for other aquatic life, such as fish. In calm, warm weather some bloom-forming species will rise to the water surface and form a scum which may again be coloured.

    For reasons not fully understood, some bloom and scum-forming blue-green algae are capable of producing toxins. Although many blue-green algae blooms are not toxic, some produce nerve or liver toxins and it is therefore safest to assume toxins could be present

    In their most dangerous form, both in quantity and species, blooms have caused death in cows, sheep and dogs drinking significant concentrations at the water’s edge.

    WHO IS AT RISK AND WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

    Human health risk from exposure to blue-green algae toxins can arise through swallowing or inhaling water containing the algae and through prolonged direct contact with exposed parts of the body including the skin, and sensitive areas such as ears, eyes, mouth and throat.

    Different groups of water users are at different levels of risk, depending on the amount of time they are likely to spend in/close to the affected water. Participants in descending order of likely risk are as follows:

    Swimmers, paddlers, children playing at the water’s edge, dogs, other animals including some farm animals, fishermen using the bank and water’s edge.

    Windsurfers whose level of competence puts them at risk in the prevailing wind conditions of becoming immersed in or blowing into areas of algal scum.

    Dinghy sailors, catamaran sailors, canoeists and windsurfers competent for the prevailing conditions.

    Other boat users and fishermen fishing from a boat or pontoon.

    Essentially the more likely you are to come into direct contact with the algal scum, the greater the risk of effects of exposure. Symptoms of those affected could be easily confused with a range of other illnesses so it is important to be aware of the risk of blue-green algae as a contributory factor.

    Swallowing and/or inhalation can result in mouth and nose ulcers, blistering of the lips, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, muscular pains, sore throat, dry cough, headaches, hay fever symptoms, dizziness and fatigue.

  • MIL-OSI Canada: Angling Just Got Reel: Saskatchewan’s Free Fishing Weekend is July 12 And 13

    Source: Government of Canada regional news

    Released on July 2, 2025

    The Ministry of Environment invites everyone to enjoy Saskatchewan’s beautiful lakes and rivers by trying out recreational fishing – no licence needed – during the province’s annual summer Free Fishing Weekend July 12 and 13. Grab your gear, gather your family and friends and have fun!

    “Saskatchewan is renowned for its world-class sportfishing, and we encourage everyone to enjoy a truly remarkable experience,” Environment Minister Travis Keisig said. “Free Fishing Weekend is the ideal time to discover the province’s incredible fishing opportunities and enjoy the outdoors.” 

    During Free Fishing Weekend, anglers can cast a line without a licence on any public waters open to sport fishing. However, there are a few important things to keep in mind: the event does not apply within national parks, a valid licence is required to take fish out of the province, and all other fishing regulations, including possession limits, remain in effect.

    2025 marks the 36th year of Free Fishing Weekend, which began in 1989 to increase public awareness about the diverse angling opportunities in the province. A winter Free Fishing Weekend was added in 2015.

    For more information about fishing in Saskatchewan, check the ministry’s Anglers Guide, available wherever fishing licences are sold, or online at saskatchewan.ca/fishing.

    Secretary for Transport & Logistics told reporters this afternoon that the target is to achieve simultaneous implementation of the entry of Guangdong vehicles into Hong Kong and the parking of the vehicles in the Airport Authority’s automated car park.

    Ms Chan noted the simultaneous implementation of both parts of the scheme will be in November, adding that the exact timing will be subject to follow-up discussions between the Hong Kong and Guangdong authorities.

    The Airport Authority’s “park and fly” carpark has 1,800 spaces and it has developed a booking system. For entry into the urban area, it will start with a 100 daily booking quota to test the system and procedural arrangements.

    From now till November, the governments of Guangdong and Hong Kong will actively formulate the arrangements for the Southbound Travel Scheme in a prudent and orderly manner, including management arrangements, system interface, construction works, facilitation measures, port clearance, monitoring measures, insurance arrangements, publicity work and full-scale drills.

  • MIL-OSI Security: New FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

    Source: US FBI

    The FBI and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) on July 1 announced the selection of the Ronald Reagan Building complex in Washington, D.C., as the new location for FBI Headquarters.

    The announcement follows nearly two decades of attempts to find the needed space to meet the FBI’s mission and workforce requirements. Previous efforts focused on constructing a new suburban campus, which would have cost the taxpayers billions of dollars and would have taken years to construct. In support of the administration’s goal to optimize the federal real-estate portfolio, the GSA and FBI identified an existing federal property. The Ronald Reagan Building complex provides a world-class facility that supports the FBI’s critical mission and saves money for taxpayers.

    “FBI’s existing headquarters at the Hoover building is a great example of a government building that has accumulated years of deferred maintenance, suffering from an aging water system to concrete falling off the structure,” said GSA Acting Administrator Stephen Ehikian. “I am proud of the GSA’s commitment to working with Director Patel and his FBI team to find a building that best supports their mission and their people.”

    “This is a historic moment for the FBI,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “Through our strong partnerships with members of Congress and GSA, we are ushering FBI Headquarters into a new era and providing our agents of justice a safer place to work. Moving to the Ronald Reagan Building is the most cost effective and resource efficient way to carry out our mission to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution.”

    “This move not only provides a world-class location for the FBI’s public servants, but it also saves Americans billions of dollars on new construction and avoids more than $300 million in deferred maintenance costs at the J. Edgar Hoover facility,” said GSA Public Buildings Service Commissioner Michael Peters. “We are proud to partner with Director Patel to drive efficiency and improve the quality of space for a productive workforce in service to national security and taxpayers.”

    The Reagan Building complex is currently home to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and other tenants. The GSA will continue to support and work with CBP on space that allows them to fulfill their mission while the transition of the FBI to the Reagan Building commences.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ANCHORAGE, Alaska, July 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On Thursday, July 10th, the 9th Annual Afognak Youth Charity Golf Tournament will be held at the Anchorage Golf Course and will feature celebrity guest, Lofa Tatupu.

    As a former Seattle Seahawk, Tatupu’s NFL career included a Super Bowl appearance and three Pro Bowl selections as a linebacker. Tatupu is committed to education and training as was evident when he went on to serve as an assistant coach with the Seahawks where he demonstrated healthy habits, hard work, and perseverance.

    Tatupu will help kick off the inaugural youth golf clinic this year following the Tournament to celebrate and encourage Alutiiq youth to stay active and participate in community activities.

    To date, the Tournament has raised over $500,000 for Tribal youth programs operated by the Native Village of Afognak and the Native Village of Port Lions in the Kodiak Archipelago. Tournament hosts support the following Tribal youth development programs as part of a responsibility to strengthen Ag’wanermiut “Afognak people”:

    • Dig Afognak Camp – Alutiiq youth culture camp established in 1998 for youth ages nine to 14 and families; Alutiiq Language & Music Camp and Harvesting & Survival Camp are highlights of the summer camp season.
    • Afterschool & Alutiiq Week Cultural Activities
    • Cultural Workshops – traditional food preparation and processing
    • Alutiiq Language Resources – supports family language nights and other programs
    • Preschool Program Activities – supports preschool graduation and other activities
    • Family Activities Program – supports youth activities with family engagement several times per week

    These programs are an invaluable way for young people to learn the Alutiiq language and to practice traditional harvest, survival skills, and healthy relationships. They provide intergenerational opportunities for the Alutiiq community to share cultural learning, skill building in their homelands, and to celebrate and invest in Alutiiq youth.

    The Tournament provides a great networking opportunity for participants to connect with leaders of Alaska Native Corporations, the resource development industry, large financial institutions, and many other Alaska business leaders, such as GCI, Koniag, Inc., KeyBank, Delta Airlines, Southern Glazers, and Odom.

    The launch positions Telnyx as a leading infrastructure-first provider of next-generation messaging. With RCS now supported on Android and rolling out across iOS, businesses can finally reach the majority of smartphone users with branded, interactive messaging.

    Telnyx is already onboarding brands across industries with a variety of use cases—supporting everything from agent setup and message design to fallback handling and compliance best practices, so teams can launch quickly and reach customers with confidence.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Senator Marshall Celebrates Senate Passage of President Trump’s Reconciliation Bill

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Kansas Roger Marshall

    Washington – On Tuesday, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas), released the following statement after the Senate voted to pass the reconciliation bill, President Donald Trump’s signature piece of legislation, which will deliver on numerous key promises made to the American people.
    “President Trump promised more money in your pocket, a secure border, and a strong national defense, and today the Senate delivered,” said Senator Marshall. “The House should immediately take up the Republican reconciliation bill and get it to the President’s desk by July 4th. This is just the beginning of America’s great Golden Age.”
    Key wins from the reconciliation bill include:

    Delivering the largest tax cut for middle- and working-class Americans in history.
    Securing bigger paychecks, boosting the take-home pay for hardworking, typical families by over $10,000 a year.
    Renewing and expanding 45Z, which extends the tax credit and gives the ethanol industry the time and financial incentive to build up the infrastructure needed for the U.S. to be less reliant on foreign fuel, opens new markets for farmers, and increases ethanol production across the Midwest.
    Funding and resources to continue deporting illegal aliens, securing our border, and supporting law enforcement.
    Supporting our Border Patrol and ICE agents, including a $10,000 bonus annually over the next four years.
    Cutting taxes on tips, overtime, and social security.
    Providing much-needed reinforcements— hiring 10,000 new ICE personnel, 5,000 new Customs officers, and 3,000 new Border Patrol agents.
    Securing $12.5 billion to overhaul air traffic control, replacing obsolete technology dating back to the 1960s with modern systems that improve safety, speed, and efficiency.
    Updating the FAA’s deteriorating towers and radar systems, and upgrading telecommunications.

    Ending the weaponization of energy permitting and unlocking domestic oil, gas, and nuclear power, which will unleash American energy, drive down the cost of living, and restore energy independence.
    Rescinding billions of taxpayer dollars poured into the ‘Green New SCAM,’ ending handouts to special interests and radical climate activists.

    Background:

    Senator Marshall introduced legislation that was included in the bill text or inspired text in the legislation, including:

    TheOvertime Wages Tax Relief Act,whichcreates an income tax deduction for overtime wage earners, targeted to help lower and middle-income Americans, and defines overtime to include a wide range of workers such as law enforcement officers, nurses, trade workers, factory employees, and other eligible professions.
    TheFarmer First Fuel Incentives Actwould protect American farmers by restricting the eligibility of the 45Z Tax Credit to renewable fuels made only from domestically sourced feedstocks.
    The bill will prohibit taxpayer funding for gender transition procedures covered by Medicaid, Medicare, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Affordable Care Act. The bill would also deny the medical expense tax deduction for gender transition procedures.
