    Headline: Microsoft supports making Europe’s languages and cultures more accessible in the digital realm

    Editor’s Note: This blog is also available in Italian, Spanish, French, and German.

    Europe is home to more than 200 languages and a rich cultural legacy that spans thousands of years, preserved in millions of cultural assets that tell the story of its people. But these languages are more than carriers of heritage and history—they support both culture and commerce by making it possible for people to connect, create, and do business.

    Yet, as the world digitizes, much of Europe’s linguistic and cultural diversity risks being left behind. The majority of online web content—the primary source of training data for today’s Large Language Models (LLMs)—is in English. Much of it reflects an American perspective. The European Commission has warned that the continent’s ambition to digitize its vast cultural corpus remains “significantly out of reach.” As Europe’s leaders have recognized, without urgent action, this imbalance is not just a cultural concern—it’s a commercial one. AI that doesn’t understand Europe’s languages, histories, and values can’t fully serve its people, its businesses, or its future.

    That’s why today in Paris, we’re deepening our commitment to Europe’s digital future with two new initiatives focused on making what’s uniquely European more open and accessible—its languages and culture. This builds on our European Digital Commitments, announced earlier this year, to expand AI and cloud infrastructure, strengthen digital resilience and data privacy protections, enhance cybersecurity, and support Europe’s digital sovereignty and broader economy.

    First, to support the development of more multilingual LLMs in Europe and for Europe, we’re basing employees from two of our innovation centers in Strasbourg, France—long a crossroads of cultures and now home to key European institutions. These centers will help expand the availability of multilingual data for AI development—leveraging Microsoft Azure, our technical expertise, and partnerships across Europe to promote more inclusive language representation in AI models. As part of this effort, we’re also issuing a call for proposals to help expand the supply of digital content for 10 European languages.

    Second, to help ensure Europe’s cultural richness is represented and accessible in the digital realm, we’re expanding Microsoft’s Culture AI initiative, which helps to safeguard languages, landmarks, and artifacts through digital replicas and data collaboration. Since 2019, Microsoft has digitally preserved heritage including Ancient Olympia in Greece, Mount St. Michel in France, St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, and the 80th Anniversary of the Allied Beach Landings in Normandy, to name a few. Today we’re announcing that this fall, Microsoft will begin work with the French Ministry of Culture and the French firm Iconem to create a digital replica of Notre Dame—Paris’ newly restored, 862-year-old Gothic masterpiece.

    This type of support for Europe and its diversity is not new to Microsoft. These latest steps to support languages and culture are informed by our more than 40 years of experience serving countries and cultures across Europe and around the world. Early on, we learned that empowering every person on the planet requires that the technologies we offer must be available in the languages the world speaks. That is why today Windows supports over 90 languages, including all official European Union languages as well as languages including Basque, Catalan, Galician, Luxembourgish, Valencian, and more. Microsoft 365 also has a broad reach, with support through Office applications in more than 30 European languages, including all official languages of the European Union.

    The urgency of bridging the language gap

    The European Union has 24 official languages, with dozens more acknowledged at the national or regional level. Yet many of these languages—even those that are part of the official 24, like Danish, Finnish, Swedish, and Greek—represent less than 0.6% of web content. Others, such as Maltese, Irish, Estonian, Latvian, and Slovenian, are barely visible online. While only 5% of the world’s population speaks English as a first language, English text makes up half of web content, dominating the data used to train AI models.

    This digital underrepresentation has real consequences, as LLMs rely heavily on web content for training. When a language lacks sufficient online presence, it risks being excluded from future AI services. While larger, general-purpose models can handle multiple languages, they can still miss the linguistic nuance, cultural context, and regional depth needed for truly inclusive applications. LLMs trained on limited data are less accurate, have higher hallucinations and errors, struggle with vocabulary, and reflect more bias.[1]

    As an example, Llama 3.1, a popular open source model, shows a performance gap of more than 15 percentage points between answering in English and Greek and a gap of more than 25 points when comparing English to Latvian. This mean that if this model was a high school student, she would be at the top of her class in English but at the middle of her class in Greek and at the bottom in Latvian. And this disparity between languages is seen in all major performance LLM tests.[2]

    In many cases, languages with deep cultural heritage, such as Breton, Occitan, and Romansh, which UNESCO classifies as endangered, are largely unsupported in today’s mainstream AI systems.

    The economic power of language

    This lopsided development of language models has real economic consequences. When AI systems can’t understand or respond in a region’s language, they limit access to services and opportunities, undermining both local businesses and broader economic growth.

    Broad AI diffusion—adoption and use across economies—will be one of the most important drivers of innovation and productivity growth over the next decade. Like electricity and other general-purpose technologies in the past, AI represents the next stage of industrialization.

    For communities whose languages are underrepresented online, the benefits of AI risk remaining out of reach. Imagine a small business owner in Malta who speaks only Maltese. Currently, the advanced AI tools for tasks like market analysis or content generation likely don’t operate in Maltese, limiting how this entrepreneur can leverage AI. Or consider a Polish-speaking student in a town outside Warsaw who can’t find AI educational resources in his language, potentially impacting learning opportunities. And even when an AI platform nominally supports a language, the experience may be sub-par.

    European governments and institutions have recognized the importance of addressing this situation. To drive economic competitiveness in the AI era, Europe will need to break down the language barriers and spur AI diffusion across the continent. According to the European Commission, only 13.5% of EU businesses use AI. The EU AI Continent Action Plan notes that breaking down language barriers in the single market could boost intra-EU trade by up to EUR 360 billion.

    New steps to address language gaps

    To help bridge this language gap, Microsoft will collaborate with European partners to increase the availability of multilingual data. In partnership with the ICube Laboratory at the University of Strasbourg—an institution dedicated to engineering, computer science, and imaging—we will support AI training efforts by placing personnel from the Microsoft Open Innovation Center (MOIC) and our AI for Good Lab in Strasbourg, France. This team will be backed by a global internal network of more than 70 Microsoft engineers, data scientists, and policy professionals. This collaboration between the MOIC, Microsoft AI for Good Lab, and the University of Strasbourg will also fund two post-doctoral researchers and provide up to US $1 million in Azure credits.

    This team will start by tapping into Microsoft’s own store of multilingual data, making it accessible and transparent to the European public, including open source developers. This includes, for example, multilingual text data from GitHub and voice data sets. MOIC and GitHub will partner with Hugging Face, a popular collaboration platform for AI model development, to host and make the data broadly accessible. This builds on our existing relationship with Hugging Face to make a broad range of open models in the Hugging Face model collection available for 1-click deployment in the Azure Model Catalogue. This includes last week’s release of the latest contributions toward multilingual AI—the SmoILM3 model, a highly efficient 3B model parameter multi-lingual model with support for 6 languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Portuguese.

    MOIC will also partner with Common Crawl, one of the largest free and open repositories of web crawled data. MOIC will fund work at Common Crawl, leveraging native speakers to annotate and seed European language data in the publicly available Common Crawl data set.

    In addition, the MOIC and the AI for Good Lab will issue a call for proposals to help expand the supply of digital content for 10 European languages by making their text collections available responsibly and ethically on their own terms for multilingual AI development and experiences. Applications for grants will be available on the AI for Good Lab website, beginning on 1 September 2025. In selecting recipients, the MOIC and the AI for Good Lab will focus on opportunities to unlock data in languages with relatively low representation in online content, such as Estonian, Alsatian, Slovak, Greek, and Maltese. Grants will provide recipients with Azure credits and engineering and technical support.

    While more multilingual data is essential, better technology tools and know-how can also help. For example, many languages use scripts (writing systems) that currently pose challenges for models originally designed for the Latin alphabet. Cyrillic characters, the Greek alphabet, and Arabic’s cursive script each have different properties. Off-the-shelf “tokenizers” often break these scripts in suboptimal ways. This can hurt a model’s ability to learn long-range context or accurate spelling in those languages. New advances in techniques that enable a model to handle any script uniformly can help. Better mechanisms to create synthetic data and to better process and curate that data can also help, especially when they manage privacy and sensitive data concerns effectively.

    The MOIC and the AI for Good Lab will work to facilitate the development and sharing of knowledge, tools, and capabilities to address these issues and empower European developers. The AI for Good Lab will publish a blueprint to detail how to create high-quality language datasets and train local LLMs to get more power out of the data that exists. These two groups will also support relevant research, organize convenings, co-invest in data commons projects, and ensure that knowledge, tools, and capabilities are available where they’re needed most. These teams also will continue to support efforts such as those of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Basque Center for Language Technology, and the University of Santiago de Compostela to release AI models trained in Spanish, Catalan, Basque, and Galician on Azure AI Foundry. This initiative empowers developers to build AI systems that operate in Spain’s official languages, fostering innovation and inclusivity.

    Finally, to advance responsible AI research and help close the language gap, Microsoft is launching two new academic collaborations in Europe at the University of Strasbourg and IE University School of Science & Technology in Spain. Microsoft’s AI for Good Lab and MOIC will partner with the University of Strasbourg to provide Azure grants to support joint AI research. At IE University School of Science & Technology, the Microsoft AI for Good Lab will provide Azure grants to support joint research targeting low resource languages, including support for related capstone projects to accelerate new solutions focused on language and AI.

    New steps to help digitally safeguard Europe’s cultural legacy

    Since 2019, Microsoft’s Culture AI initiative has focused on using artificial intelligence around the world to help preserve the languages, places, stories, and artifacts that define human history.  Powered by the AI for Good Lab and through partnerships with nonprofits, universities, governments, and cultural institutions, the initiative supports projects that digitize and protect cultural heritage—from endangered languages to iconic landmarks, including in France, Rome, and Greece. Whether it’s creating digital replicas of historic sites or making museum collections more accessible, the goal is to ensure that cultural identity and diversity are not only preserved but made more inclusive and discoverable in the digital age.

    Today we are announcing our next project, building a digital replica in partnership with the French Ministry of Culture and the French firm Iconem. The project will create a digital twin of Notre Dame in Paris, an architectural and cultural landmark shaped over centuries. Construction of Notre Dame began in 1163 and continued for nearly 200 years, resulting in a 128-meter-long Gothic masterpiece with twin towers rising 69 meters above the Seine. After a devastating fire in 2019, Notre Dame re-opened to the public at the end of 2024. The project will use the technology and methods we developed with Iconem to create a digital twin of St. Peter’s Basilica last year, which was based on more than 400,000 photos and advanced AI algorithms, in partnership with the Vatican.

    Just as last year’s project documented for the Vatican every detail of St. Peter’s, this new project will create a digital replica that will preserve permanently in digital form every detail of Notre Dame, ensuring that its structure, story, and symbolism are protected and accessible for generations to come. By combining advanced imaging with AI, we will create and donate to the French State a digital twin that can be used by preservationists and be displayed in the future Musée Notre Dame de Paris.

    In addition to the project at Notre Dame, we are also announcing today a partnership with the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and in collaboration with Iconem to digitize nearly 1,500 cinematic model sets from shows at the Opera National de Paris between 1800 and 1914. The digitized model sets will be made available through interactive, educational experiences and exhibitions and as a dataset made available on the Bibliothèque Nationale de France’s Gallica platform for cultural AI and research projects.

    Finally, we are embarking on new work with the Musée des Arts Décoratifs to make publicly accessible the detailed digital descriptions of approximately 1.5 million artifacts from the Middle Ages to the present day. This step will enable researchers in history, art history, and conservation to access this new information for study and use in their own AI-driven research.

    Looking ahead: Taking a principled approach

    We take these new steps today with humility and respect, recognizing that the preservation of Europe’s linguistic and cultural diversity is a task for Europeans to be led by Europeans. The European Union has already launched a multi-state effort to pool EU language data and digitize all types of cultural heritage. Our role is to contribute to and support these and similar efforts. None of what we are announcing today will create any proprietary data or technology for Microsoft itself.

    Ultimately, the best way to empower more people across Europe to address these needs is to equip them with the AI skills that will enable them to be successful in these fields. As the European Commission recently concluded, a deficit of digital skills in the cultural sector is inhibiting efforts to digitalize cultural heritage works across Europe. To help bridge this skills gap, the MOIC and the AI for Good Lab will share what we know and learn about how to do this critical work.

    Technology should reflect the richness of humanity—not strip it away. By taking intentional steps now, we can help ensure that AI doesn’t erase linguistic and cultural diversity but strengthens it.

    This is one of the defining equity challenges of the AI era. And if we work together—with purpose and urgency—we can close the gap and build a digital future that honors every language, every culture, and every community across Europe.

    Headline: Introducing the new Power Apps: Generative power meets enterprise-grade trust

    Today, we’re taking another big leap forward in applying AI to the future of app development: you can now work with agents to generate code directly in Microsoft Power Apps. This brings the speed and flexibility of vibe coding together with the connectivity, security, and scale of a robust enterprise platform.

    We first demonstrated this new vision at Microsoft Build 2025 and have been working closely with a select group of Early Access Preview users to hone the capability. We’ve now expanded Preview access to all users across North America and will soon enable the rest of our global regions.

    This rounds out an entirely new, end-to-end app development experience that is agent-first at every step. Power Apps makers can start with a plan, collaborating with a team of agents to shape user stories, requirements, processes, data, and solution architecture. That collaboration continues as they craft and customize fully featured user experiences. Generative pages break free from the rigidity of traditional low-code tools—under the hood, they are built with code written directly by agents, based on multiple rounds of maker input and feedback.

    Agent-first app development represents a major shift. Traditional low-code tools (including the Power Apps canvas) relied on complex abstraction layers to enable drag-and-drop configuration of pre-built components. While this unlocked productivity for those who preferred not to write code, it also came with limitations on what could be customized.

    By generating pages directly in code, we unlock far greater potential for creativity and customization. By bringing this capability to the mature, enterprise-grade Power Apps platform—trusted by millions for mission-critical business apps—we’re making it practical for organizations to adopt at scale. Other tools for agent-based code generation are emerging, but while they may quickly produce visually appealing prototypes, they often lack the robustness and secure integration needed for enterprise systems.

    Power Apps brings the best of both worlds together. The market-leading enterprise low-code platform—with world-class managed governance, security, availability, and operations—now also has the speed and agility of agent-first app generation.

    AI-powered app creation with full control

    With generative pages, you can get from a simple prompt to a fully customized app experience in seconds. Just describe the app you want, optionally upload a whiteboard sketch, choose your Dataverse tables, and a production-ready, fully customized app is instantly generated with no coding required. This builds on the strengths of low-code development, ushering in a new era of app development built on Microsoft’s reliable, scalable platform.

    The agentic AI generates code for your app page that you can review, customize, and refine—keeping you in full control. Built on open standards, your apps remain portable, extensible, and future-proof.

    Generative pages brings together the best of both worlds: seamless AI-assisted app creation paired with full transparency and control over the data, logic, and security layers. This empowers both business users and pro developers to build enterprise-grade applications confidently. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just getting started, you can move fluidly between no-code and pro-code experiences when using Power Apps:

    • No-code to pro-code: Start building by describing what you want in natural language, add elements with code, or build with drag-and-drop components if you choose to—all in the same app.
    • Full transparency: View the React code behind your app, giving you complete visibility and control.
    • Iterative design: Easily update your app by simply saying what you want—like “add a search bar,” “switch to dark mode,” or “make this mobile friendly.” You can even roll back to previous versions with a single click.

    Real customers, real impact

    Organizations are already using Power Apps to solve real business challenges. We are seeing firsthand how customers across industries are using generative pages to work in ways that are truly inspiring.

    • Time tracking, transformed: A global manufacturer finally said goodbye to manual spreadsheets. With generative pages, they quickly built a drag-and-drop time reporting app, complete with analytics and automated reporting, all in record time.
    • Modernizing the old, effortlessly: A financial services firm reimagined a 25-year-old desktop tool as a modern web app for investment simulations. No massive rewrite, just a fresh start with generative pages.
    • Student support, enhanced: At a major university, a team built an advising app to help first-year students stay on track, book appointments, and monitor their progress. It’s making a real difference for students who need it most.
    • Game day, simplified: A youth sports league used generative pages to create a team manager app. Now, the league schedules, stats, and game-day logistics are all in one place—easy for coaches, parents, and players alike.
    • Equipment tracking, streamlined: One retail chain shared how they now track equipment for stores in real time. The result? Less loss, faster audits, and a lot less hassle for their teams.

    These are just a few of the ways customers are unlocking new potential, but the common thread is clear: Teams move faster, modernize with confidence, and keep their focus on what matters most, with Power Apps.

    Enterprise-grade, AI-native

    With generative pages, we’re bringing the power of AI-native app creation to enterprises, backed by the security, governance, and global scale you expect from Microsoft. Power Apps stands apart because it was built for the enterprise from day one. Here’s how:

    • Robust security and governance: Microsoft Power Platform delivers built-in security, monitoring, and governance. Your apps inherit the same enterprise-grade protections that govern the rest of your Microsoft ecosystem. Every app has Microsoft Entra ID authentication, role-based access, monitoring, and auditing. Data loss prevention (DLP) policies, environmental boundaries, and application lifecycle management (ALM) pipelines—all functionalities used to secure scalable deployment.
    • Open, transparent code: Unlike platforms that generate opaque or proprietary code, Power Apps uses open React and TypeScript—no black boxes, no lock-in.
    • Easy Dataverse integration: Built on Microsoft Azure and trusted by enterprises around the world, Dataverse is a battle-tested platform managing petabytes of sensitive customer data with enterprise-grade security and scalability. It’s designed to handle the most demanding workloads and is deeply integrated with Microsoft 365, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Azure—giving your apps seamless access to a rich ecosystem of data and services. You can connect to your data instantly and simply choose the tables you need—no complex data modeling required.
    • Rich, interactive user interface (UI): Generative pages support rich UI elements like drag-and-drop, file upload, charts, dark mode theming, and even text-to-speech. These features used to take days or weeks with traditional low-code tools. Now, your ideal UI is only a prompt away.

    Get started

    The future of software development is AI-assisted, agent-powered, and fast. But speed without security is a risk. Flexibility without governance? That’s chaos.

    Generative pages in preview mark a new chapter for Microsoft Power Apps and for enterprise app development. With AI-powered, native creation, open code, and built-in security and governance, every team can go from great idea to amazing app in minutes—no coding, no compromise—all backed by the trust and control of enterprise infrastructure. This is what makes Power Platform the right choice for organizations that need to move fast without breaking things.

    To get started, simply add a page in any model-driven Power App—including those created from plans—and describe what you want to build, or explore our tutorials on the Learn page.  

    Already using generative pages? We’d love to know about your experiences—your opinion is a key factor in how our team works to shape the future of AI-native app development. 

    We can’t wait to see what you build.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Lectures, workshops and horizontal connections: the Summer Engineering and Economics School 2025 has started at the State University of Management

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Official website of the State –

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    On July 21, 2025, the Summer School of Engineering and Economics started at the State University of Management.

    The School brings together postgraduate students, young scientists and engineers from different Russian universities for the fourth time. The School’s research areas are engineering, unmanned aircraft systems, mechanical engineering, food security, artificial intelligence, and sustainable development.

    At the opening ceremony, the rector of the State University of Management Vladimir Stroyev said that the first School was held in 2023 in Grozny on the basis of the GGNTU named after Academician M.D. Millionshchikov, but subsequently changed its location.

    “Holding the School in different cities is a positive moment. This way, young scientists get to know the country, establish connections, because not everyone will necessarily work in one place their entire lives. Thanks to this, the geography of the School itself is also expanding. Three universities started the project, and today there are seven universities. The program includes lectures, workshops, master classes, but the main thing for you is communication. I wish you a productive time,” the rector said.

    Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Boris Chernyshov noted that the Summer Engineering and Economics School, through the efforts of the rector and management of the State University of Management, shows excellent results not only in attracting funding for science, but also in terms of specific results.

    “The topic of management in science is one of the key areas in achieving state strategic goals, including in a special military operation. Associations of young scientists can become a new milestone on the path of continuous development of public administration principles. And the State University of Management in this sense can create conditions for attracting new personnel. Science is the future today, and the ability to manage it is a key factor in success in any activity. I hope that the School will result in an attempt to look into the future and suggest new solutions to pressing issues,” Boris Chernyshov wished.

    The following institutions will participate in the Summer School of Engineering and Economics – 2025: — BSTU named after V.G. Shukhov (Belgorod); — VlSU named after A.G. and N.G. Stoletov (Vladimir); — GGNTU named after academician M.D. Millionshchikov (Grozny); — GUU (Moscow); — DonNTU (Donetsk); — Moscow State University named after A.I. Kuindzhi (Mariupol); — NTU “Sirius” (federal territory “Sirius”).

    Immediately after the opening ceremony, the School’s students were treated to a lecture entitled “Engineering Heritage: Russia – USSR – Russian Federation”. But before that, we managed to find out from the Chairman of the Council of Young Scientists and Specialists of the GGNTU named after academician M.D. Millionshchikov Temirlan Sultanbekov, who is participating in the program for the third time, what attracts him to the School.

    “The school attracts with relevant and useful lectures, interesting master classes. It is not only interesting, but also undoubtedly useful. And the program changes and is updated every year. At my university, I do not only science, and the School helps to develop various skills. And with each visit, I notice that my level of personal and professional skills, which I can apply in my work, is increasing,” Temirlan Sultanbekov.

    The Summer School of Engineering and Economics will last until July 25. Students will not only be able to attend lectures on artificial intelligence and workshops on the design of unmanned aerial vehicles, but also tours of production facilities, exhibition spaces, and the State Duma.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Sen. Markey, Democratic Colleagues Query FAA Administrator Bedford on the Impact of Staff Cuts and Use of Artificial Intelligence on Aviation Safety

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Massachusetts Ed Markey

    Letter Text (PDF)

    Washington (July 21, 2025) – Senators Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), a member of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, led 11 of his Democratic colleagues in writing a letter to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Administrator Bryan Bedford, requesting answers on the impact of FAA workforce reductions on aviation safety, including among analytical staff who proactively identify safety risks. The senators also inquired about comments by FAA officials suggesting the agency is using artificial intelligence to analyze safety data to identify risks.

    In the letter, the lawmakers write, “The tragic crash of American Airlines flight 5342 highlighted serious gaps in our aviation safety system and demonstrated the need for a robust and experienced analytical workforce at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Unfortunately, over the past six months, your agency has significantly reduced its workforce.”

    The lawmakers continued, “In the aftermath of the crash, the FAA should be analyzing the near miss data from events at Reagan National Airport and reviewing the sufficiency of FAA staffing. Instead, the agency has moved ahead with workforce reductions. In particular, FAA fired hundreds of probationary employees in critical support roles key to assisting air traffic controllers in doing their jobs.”

    The lawmakers request the following information by August 11, 2025:

    1. For each FAA line of business and its relevant suboffices, please provide the (a) number of employees employed as of January 1, 2025, (b) number of employees employed as of July 1, 2025, and (c) the current number of job openings.
    2. For each FAA line of business and its relevant suboffices, please indicate whether any of its job positions are currently subject to a hiring freeze as of January 20, 2025.
    3. Please provide the analysis conducted by the Office of Airports related to the impact of workforce cuts on its safety mission.
    4. Besides the Office of Airports, please explain if any other FAA line of business has conducted an analysis of the impact of workforce cuts on its ability to deliver its mission. If so, please provide those analyses.
    5. Please explain all relevant FAA lines of business and relevant suboffices charged with identifying aviation safety trends and possible safety risks affecting airport operations in congested airspace.
    6. What specific AI tools is the FAA using to analyze aviation safety impacts and flight data and how is this improving FAA’s analysis? Does the FAA have adequate staff, familiar with these tools, to manage this analysis and ensure the security of the data used and generated by AI?

    The letter was co-signed by Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.), Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Tim Kaine (D-Va,), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), Mark Warner (D-Va.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Peter Welch (D-Vt), and Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.).

    Senator Markey is one of the leading aviation safety champions in the Senate. In February 2025, he led twelve of his Senate colleagues in a letter to the Department of Transportation requesting information about impacts of staffing cuts on transportation safety. In April 2025, Senator Markey introduced his Safety Starts at the Top Act, which would require large aerospace manufacturers have representation from labor unions and safety experts on the company’s board of directors.

The move could mean that world-changing AI tech is developed in the UK, driving discoveries that will deliver growth.

    It expands to share that OpenAI could look to invest in and support AI Growth Zones, first announced in the AI Opportunities Action Plan which has since been backed by £2 billion in the Spending Review.

    With over 200 bids from across the country, AI Growth Zones are set to become hotbeds for AI infrastructure attracting billions of pounds in investment each. Today’s news follows the UK government confirming that Scotland and Wales will both host AI Growth Zones in its Compute Strategy.

    The initiative follows the UK investing up to £500 million in sovereign AI that will be spent backing national AI champions and partnering with world leading companies like OpenAI. This partnership is an important element of our mission to ensure the UK continues to participate actively in the development of frontier AI, and that UK citizens continue to benefit from the economic growth provided by cutting-edge models.

    Technology Secretary Peter Kyle said:

    AI will be fundamental in driving the change we need to see across the country – whether that’s in fixing the NHS, breaking down barriers to opportunity or driving economic growth. That’s why we need to make sure Britain is front and centre when it comes to developing and deploying AI, so we can make sure it works for us.

    This can’t be achieved without companies like OpenAI, who are driving this revolution forward internationally. This partnership will see more of their work taking place in the UK, creating high-paid tech jobs, driving investment in infrastructure, and crucially giving our country agency over how this world-changing technology moves forward.

    OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman, said:

    AI is a core technology for nation building that will transform economies and deliver growth. Britain has a strong legacy of scientific leadership and its government was one of the first to recognise the potential of AI through its AI Opportunities Action Plan.

    Now, it’s time to deliver on the plan’s goals by turning ambition to action and delivering prosperity for all.

    The AI lab could also work with government to identify how advanced AI models could help to improve the public services that millions of people use every day, and driving economic growth across the country.

    OpenAI’s large language model, ChatGPT, already underpins multiple tools in ‘Humphrey’, Whitehall’s AI assistant that aims to speed up the civil service by taking away admin burdens.

    For example, GPT 4o is used in ‘Consult’, the bespoke tool that speeds up the policy making process by automatically sorting public responses to consultations – doing a task that takes officials weeks in minutes, while leaving important decisions to experts.

    In addition to supporting infrastructure plans laid out in the AI Opportunities Action Plan, OpenAI may also explore developing state-of-the-art, AI-enabled R&D infrastructure in the UK, focused on shared areas of strategic interest with the UK government.

  • MIL-OSI: XRP rose strongly by more than 23%. Siton Mining launched a new XRP cloud mining solution, attracting global investors to join the craze!

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Houston, Texas, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  XRP has surged 23% in the past week, hitting a record high of $3.68, pushing the market’s daily trading volume to over $23 billion. This surge is closely related to the GENIUS Act and the Digital Financial Transparency Act passed by the U.S. Congress, which provide unprecedented compliance protection and growth space for blockchain technology and digital asset investments.

    In this positive market context, Siton Mining, the world’s leading cloud mining platform, officially launched a new “double income” mining contract designed specifically for XRP users. This solution not only provides stable daily US dollar income, but also supports the use of mainstream cryptocurrencies such as XRP for recharge, settlement and withdrawal, allowing users to enjoy stable income while also benefiting from the value growth brought by the rise in currency prices.

    Double income model opens a new era of XRP passive income
    Siton Mining‘s innovative mining model allows users to:
    Invest XRP (or other crypto assets) to activate the mining contract
    Get a fixed dollar income every day (settled at the real-time exchange rate)
    After the contract ends, if XRP appreciates, the withdrawal value will be further increased

    Example: If a user invests $3,000 worth of XRP to activate a 13-day contract, the daily return is $41.4, and the total return is $538.2. If XRP rises by 10% during this period, the user will also enjoy the price appreciation of the same amount of XRP.

    XRP recent market highlights
    New high price: XRP rose more than 23% to $3.68, with a market value of over $219 billion
    Policy-driven: The United States passed the GENIUS Act, which explicitly supports the development of digital assets and mining compliance
    Institutional influx: XRP futures open interest exceeded $10.7 billion, and institutional funds continued to pour in

    Popular contract examples:

    MiningEquipment Contract Amount Net income Total net profit
    Zcash Miner $100 $8 $108($100 + $8)
    ETC Miner $500 $30 $530($500 + $30)
    IceRiver AE2 $1,200 $140.40 $1,340.40
    Bitcoin Miner $3,000 $538.20 $3,538.20

  • MIL-OSI: As Bitcoin Surges, AIXA Miner Launches High-Yield Cloud Mining Contracts to Convert BTC into Daily Passive Income

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Denver, Colorado, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AIXA Miner has announced the launch of a new series of high-yield BTC cloud mining contracts, designed to help users convert Bitcoin into consistent, daily passive income. The update comes amid renewed market momentum, as the cryptocurrency sector experiences a strong upswing in confidence and prices. Bitcoin, in particular, has captured global attention by holding firm above the $115,000 threshold, signaling the start of a new cycle of heightened participation and infrastructure demand.

    With this announcement, AIXA Miner reinforces its role as a performance-driven cloud mining platform that prioritises accessibility, automation, and long-term user value. The new BTC contracts are engineered to accommodate varying investor profiles, offering both short-term and extended durations, all supported by smart contract-based automation, AI-optimised power distribution, and a seamless onboarding process.

    “We view this moment as an opportunity to empower users with smarter, more sustainable ways to benefit from Bitcoin’s growth,” said a spokesperson from AIXA Miner’s Strategy Division. “Our latest BTC mining plans are built not just to reflect the strength of the market, but to provide users with an income model that scales with confidence, not speculation.”

    As price volatility remains a defining trait of the crypto sector, AIXA Miner’s new offerings are designed for users seeking a more predictable and structured return on their BTC holdings. Rather than holding or trading Bitcoin in response to short-term fluctuations, users can now allocate their assets to cloud mining contracts that yield daily income through real infrastructure operations.

    Once a BTC contract is activated, AIXA Miner’s backend systems—powered by its proprietary AI mining engine—handle all operational logistics: from hash rate allocation and uptime optimization to energy balancing and payout scheduling. Users receive their mining rewards daily, deposited directly through smart contracts into their designated wallets, without needing to manage hardware, energy costs, or manual adjustments.

    This release builds on AIXA Miner’s commitment to making crypto mining accessible, efficient, and environmentally responsible. All of the platform’s operations run through a network of globally distributed data centers powered primarily by clean energy, including hydroelectric, wind, and solar power. These mining facilities are strategically located across North America, Southeast Asia, and South America to take advantage of favorable energy conditions and sustainable infrastructure partnerships.

    AIXA Miner’s new BTC contract suite includes several tiers, with minimums designed to accommodate casual participants as well as institutional-level allocations. Contracts range from rapid 3-day engagements to longer-term plans spanning multiple weeks—each with a clearly defined reward structure and return timeline.

    Transparency remains central to the user experience. Every contract includes access to a full performance dashboard, displaying real-time mining output, contract progress, energy source distribution, and payout histories. These insights help users make informed decisions, monitor results, and adapt their strategy over time—all without needing deep technical knowledge or market timing expertise.

    The surge in Bitcoin’s value has brought a wave of renewed optimism to the digital asset economy. However, AIXA Miner recognizes that passive participation—anchored in infrastructure rather than price speculation—is becoming a preferred strategy among both seasoned and new users. As such, these newly launched contracts reflect not only favorable market conditions but also a fundamental shift toward high profit platforms that prioritize automation, transparency, and reliability.

    “Bitcoin’s price activity may fluctuate, but the underlying value of network participation remains steady,” added the spokesperson. “We’ve built these new contracts to offer consistent returns, rooted in tangible infrastructure and governed by smart contract logic—not hype.”

    The BTC cloud mining contracts are now available globally on the AIXA Miner platform. New users can register, select their preferred plan, and begin receiving rewards within 24 hours—without needing to purchase mining rigs, manage maintenance, or worry about hardware depreciation.

    With this launch, AIXA Miner continues to deliver on its mission: to build an inclusive and intelligent mining ecosystem that turns volatility into opportunity—and turns BTC into daily, dependable income.

  • MIL-OSI Analysis: From painkillers to antibiotics: five medicines that could harm your hearing

    Source: The Conversation – UK – By Dipa Kamdar, Senior Lecturer in Pharmacy Practice, Kingston University

    DC Studio/Shutterstock

    When we think about the side effects of medicines, we might think of nausea, fatigue or dizziness. But there’s another, lesser-known risk that can have lasting – and sometimes permanent – consequences: hearing loss. A wide range of prescription and over-the-counter drugs are known to be ototoxic, meaning they can damage the inner ear and affect hearing or balance.

    Ototoxicity refers to drug or chemical-related damage to the cochlea, which affects hearing, and the vestibular system, which controls balance. Symptoms can include tinnitus (ringing in the ears), hearing loss (often starting with high-frequency sounds), dizziness or balance problems or a sensation of fullness in the ears.

    These effects can be temporary or permanent, depending on the drug involved, the dose and duration and a person’s susceptibility.

    The inner ear is highly sensitive, and most experts believe ototoxic drugs cause damage by harming the tiny hair cells in the cochlea or disrupting the fluid balance in the inner ear. Once these hair cells are damaged, they don’t regenerate – making hearing loss irreversible in many cases.

    Around 200 medicines are known to have ototoxic effects. Here are some of the most commonly used drugs to watch out for:

    1. Antibiotics

    Aminoglycoside antibiotics like gentamicin, tobramycin and streptomycin are typically prescribed for serious infections such as sepsis, meningitis, or tuberculosis – conditions where prompt, aggressive treatment can be lifesaving. In these cases, the benefits often outweigh the potential risk of hearing loss.

    These drugs, usually given intravenously, are among the most well-documented ototoxic medications. They can cause irreversible hearing loss, particularly when used in high doses or over extended periods. Some people may also be genetically more vulnerable to these effects.

    These drugs linger in the inner ear for weeks or even months, meaning damage can continue after treatment has ended.

    Other antibiotics to be aware of include macrolides (such as erythromycin and azithromycin) and vancomycin, which have also been linked to hearing problems, particularly in older adults or people with kidney issues.

    2. Heart medicines

    Loop diuretics like furosemide and bumetanide are commonly used to manage heart failure or high blood pressure. When given in high doses or intravenously, they can cause temporary hearing loss by disrupting the fluid and electrolyte balance in the inner ear. Around 3% of users may experience ototoxicity.

    Some blood pressure medications have also been linked to tinnitus.

    These include ACE inhibitorsdrugs like ramipril that help relax blood vessels by blocking a hormone called angiotensin, making it easier for the heart to pump blood – and calcium-channel blockers like amlodipine, which reduce blood pressure by preventing calcium from entering the cells of the heart and blood vessel walls. While these associations have been observed, more research is needed to fully understand the extent of their effect on hearing.

    3. Chemotherapy

    Certain chemotherapy drugs, especially those containing platinum – like cisplatin and carboplatin – are known to be highly ototoxic. Cisplatin, often used to treat testicular, ovarian, breast, head and neck cancers, carries a significant risk of permanent hearing loss. That risk increases when radiation is also directed near the head or neck.

    Up to 60% of patients treated with cisplatin experience some degree of hearing loss. Researchers are exploring ways to reduce risk by adjusting dosage or frequency without compromising the drug’s effectiveness.

    4. Painkillers

    High doses of common pain relievers, including aspirin, NSAIDs – non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen, commonly used to relieve pain, inflammation and fever – and even paracetamol, have been linked to tinnitus and hearing loss.

    A large study found that women under 60 who regularly took moderate-dose aspirin (325 mg or more, six to seven times per week) had a 16% higher risk of developing tinnitus. This link was not seen with low-dose aspirin (100 mg or less). Frequent use of NSAIDs as well as paracetamol was also associated with a nearly 20% increased risk of tinnitus, particularly in women who used these medications often.

    Another study linked long-term use of these painkillers to a higher risk of hearing loss, especially in men under 60. In most cases, tinnitus and hearing changes resolve once the medication is stopped – but these side effects typically occur after prolonged, high-dose use.

    5. Antimalarial drugs

    Drugs like chloroquine and quinine – used to treat malaria and leg cramps – can cause reversible hearing loss and tinnitus. One study found that 25–33% of people with hearing loss had previously taken one of these drugs.

    Hydroxychloroquine, used to treat lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, has a similar chemical structure and poses a similar risk. While some people recover after stopping the drug, others may experience permanent damage, particularly after long-term or high-dose use.

    People with pre-existing hearing loss, kidney disease, or genetic susceptibility face higher risks – as do those taking multiple ototoxic drugs at once. Children and older adults may also be more vulnerable.

    If you’re prescribed one of these medications for a serious condition like cancer, sepsis or tuberculosis, the benefits usually outweigh the risks. But it’s still wise to be informed. Ask your doctor or pharmacist if your medicine carries a risk to hearing or balance. If you experience ringing in your ears, dizziness, or muffled hearing, report it promptly.

  • MIL-OSI Analysis: AI in universities: How large language models are transforming research

    Source: The Conversation – Canada – By Ali Shiri, Professor of Information Science & Vice Dean, Faculty of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies, University of Alberta

    Generative AI, especially large language models (LLMs), present exciting and unprecedented opportunities and complex challenges for academic research and scholarship.

    As the different versions of LLMs (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity.ai and Grok) continue to proliferate, academic research is beginning to undergo a significant transformation.

    Students, researchers and instructors in higher education need AI literacy knowledge, competencies and skills to address these challenges and risks.

    In a time of rapid change, students and academics are advised to look to their institutions, programs and units for discipline-specific policy or guidelines regulating the use of AI.

    Researcher use of AI

    A recent study led by a data science researcher found that at least 13.5 per cent of biomedical abstracts last year showed signs of AI-generated text.

    AI-detection software isn’t the solution to classroom cheating — assessment has to shift


    Large language models can now support nearly every stage of the research process, although caution and human oversight are always needed to judge when use is appropriate, ethical or warranted — and to account for questions of quality control and accuracy. LLMs can:

    • Help brainstorm, generate and refine research ideas and formulate hypotheses;

    • Design experiments and conduct and synthesize literature reviews;

    • Write and debug code;

    • Analyze and visualize both qualitative and quantitative data;

    • Develop interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological frameworks;

    • Suggest relevant sources and citations, summarize complex texts and draft abstracts;

    • Support the dissemination and presentation of research findings, in popular formats.

    However, there are significant concerns and challenges surrounding the appropriate, ethical, responsible and effective use of generative AI tools in the conduct of research, writing and research dissemination. These include:

    • Misrepresentation of data and authorship;

    • Difficulty in replication of research results;

    • Data and algorithmic biases and inaccuracies;

    • User and data privacy and confidentiality;

    • Quality of outputs, data and citation fabrication;

    • And copyright and intellectual property infringement.

    AI research assistants, ‘deep research’ AI agents

    There are two categories of emerging LLM-enhanced tools that support academic research:

    1. AI research assistants: The number of AI research assistants that support different aspects and steps of the research process is growing at an exponential rate. These technologies have the potential to enhance and extend traditional research methods in academic work. Examples include AI assistants that support:

    • Concept mapping (Kumu, GitMind, MindMeister);

    • Literature and systematic reviews (Elicit, Undermind, NotebookLM, SciSpace);

    • Literature search (Consensus, ResearchRabbit, Connected Papers, Scite);

    • Literature analysis and summarization (Scholarcy, Paper Digest, Keenious);

    • And research topic and trend detection and analysis (Scinapse, tlooto, Dimension AI).

    2. ‘Deep research’ AI agents: The field of artificial intelligence is advancing quickly with the rise of “deep research” AI agents. These next-generation agents combine LLMs, retrieval-augmented generation and sophisticated reasoning frameworks to conduct in-depth, multi-step analyses.

    Research is currently being conducted to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of deep research tools. New evaluation criteria are being developed to assess their performance and quality.

    Criteria include elements such as cost, speed, editing ease and overall user experience — as well as citation and writing quality, and how these deep research tools adhere to prompts.

    The purpose of deep research tools is to meticulously extract, analyze and synthesize scholarly information, empirical data and diverse perspectives from a wide array of online and social media sources. The output is a detailed report, complete with citations, offering in-depth insights into complex topics.

    In just a short span of four months (December 2024 to February 2025), several companies (like Google Gemini, Perplexity.ai and ChatGPT) introduced their “deep research” platforms.

    The Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, a non-profit AI research institute based in Seattle, is experimenting with a new open access research tool called Ai2 ScholarQA that helps researchers conduct literature reviews more efficiently by providing more in-depth answers.

    Emerging guidelines

    Several guidelines have been developed to encourage the responsible and ethical use of generative AI in research and writing. Examples include:

    LLMs support interdisciplinary research

    LLMs are also powerful tools to support interdisciplinary research. Recent emerging research (yet to be peer reviewed) on the effectiveness of LLMs for research suggests they have great potential in areas such as biological sciences, chemical sciences, engineering, environmental as well as social sciences. It also suggests LLMs can help eliminate disciplinary silos by bringing together data and methods from different fields and automating data collection and generation to create interdisciplinary datasets.

    Helping to analyze and summarize large volumes of research across various disciplines can aid interdisciplinary collaboration. “Expert finder” AI-powered platforms can analyze researcher profiles and publication networks to map expertise, identify potential collaborators across fields and reveal unexpected interdisciplinary connections.

    This emerging knowledge suggests these models will be able to help researchers drive breakthroughs by combining insights from diverse fields — like epidemiology and physics, climate science and economics or social science and climate data — to address complex problems.

    Research-focused AI literacy

    Canadian universities and research partnerships are providing AI literacy education to people in universities and beyond.

    The Alberta Machine Intelligence Institute offers K-12 AI literacy programming and other resources. The institute is a not-for profit organization and part of Canada’s Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy.

    Many universities are offering AI literacy educational opportunities that focus specifically on the use of generative AI tools in assisting research activities.

    Collaborative university work is also happening. For example, as vice dean of the Faculty of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies at the University of Alberta (and an information science professor), I have worked with deans from the University of Manitoba, the University of Winnipeg and Vancouver Island University to develop guidelines and recommendations around generative AI and graduate and postdoctoral research and supervision.

    Considering the growing power and capabilities of large language models, there is an urgent need to develop AI literacy training tailored for academic researchers.

    This training should focus on both the potential and the limitations of these tools in the different stages of the research process and writing.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Alford, Colleagues Urge Two-Prong Approach to Cementing America’s Role as Global AI Capital

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Representative Mark Alford (Missouri 4th District)

    Congressman Mark Alford (MO-04) led a letter to the Secretary of the Department of Commerce, Howard Lutnick. The letter urges the Commerce Department to continue pursuing policies that will cement the United States as the world capital of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

    Specifically, the Members of Congress are advocating for Secretary Lutnick to pursue a well-balanced strategy that limits foreign adversaries’ ability to develop frontier AI and enables American companies to compete quickly in the global marketplace.

    Reps. Jack Bergman, Andrew Garbarino, Diana Harshbarger, Robert Wittman, John McGuire, Ben Cline, and Vern Buchanan joined Congressman Alford in sending the letter to Secretary Lutnick.

    Read the full letter to Commerce Secretary Lutnick here.

    Read key excerpts from the letter below:

    “Under President Trump’s leadership, the United States is shaping emerging technologies globally and positioned as the world capital of artificial intelligence (AI). The President’s cabinet is unshackling American energy, cutting burdensome red tape, and unwinding Biden’s bad policies. One important example of bolstering American prosperity was your decision to rescind and replace the Biden administration’s AI Diffusion Rule. This rule would have helped China win the AI race, and replacing this rule quickly will provide American innovators a stable environment to compete and win. …

    “While we are currently ahead of Communist China in the AI race, we must continue to help our nation, companies, and innovators succeed. Failure to maintain our lead in AI development means that we could be at the mercy of Communist China for many critical industries. Examples include cryptography, next-generation pharmaceuticals, and advanced defense materials. President Trump has been at the forefront of securing investment during his recent successful trip to the Middle East. He closed deals promoting U.S. technology as the global standard and secured landmark investments in frontier AI development at home. We must continue to capitalize on this momentum by ensuring allies and partners building out their AI investments see the U.S. as the superior, most reliable partner.

    “One crucial next step in this competition is providing American innovators, exporters, and nations around the world a stable exporting structure. Mr. Secretary, your testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee included key elements of an AI diffusion framework that would enable American AI diffusion around the world while also limiting China’s ability to develop frontier AI. The Trump administration should not return to Biden’s tiers and caps that confused close allies and partners. …

    “We can only win the AI race with Communist China if we are wisely limiting our foreign adversary’s opportunities to develop frontier AI and enabling American companies to compete quickly in the global marketplace. Both prongs are important and the balance between them are crucial. America is winning the AI race, but the competition has been hard fought and will continue to be. Steps must be taken quickly since investments happening now will create the world’s tech ecosystem for decades to come. …”

    Source: Government of India (4)

    More than 3.3 crore individuals have received skill training under various initiatives of the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) over the past decade, the government informed the Lok Sabha on Monday.

    Responding to a written query, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Jayant Chaudhary said that over 1.6 crore candidates have been trained or oriented under PMKVY, of whom 1.29 crore have been certified as of June 30, 2025. Under other programmes supported by the NSDC, an additional 1.74 crore individuals have been trained.

    The minister also said that NSDC has facilitated the certification of over 2.32 lakh trainers through awarding bodies. The trainer-to-beneficiary ratio, he noted, varies depending on the nature of training, batch size, sectoral requirements, and geographical factors.

    The Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana is implemented by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) through the NSDC. Though the government holds only 49 per cent equity in NSDC, it maintains oversight through representation on the board. To ensure standardisation and transparency, the government has introduced several regulatory and technological measures, particularly under the PMKVY 4.0 framework, which is currently in force.

    Chaudhary said PMKVY 4.0 places a strong emphasis on quality, industry relevance and flexibility. He added that On-the-Job Training (OJT) has been embedded in the short-term training component to offer practical exposure to candidates.

    The government has also introduced digital systems such as the Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH), which monitors the full training cycle—ranging from Aadhaar-based enrolment and biometric attendance to geo-tagging and real-time dashboard updates. Training is conducted only by certified trainers and assessed by certified assessors. Measures such as e-KYC-based enrolment, performance audits, third-party evaluations and grievance redressal mechanisms have been put in place to enhance accountability.

    As of FY 2024–25, the MSDE has released ₹1,538.29 crore for the implementation of PMKVY. No funds have been released so far in the current financial year. Detailed State and UT-wise disbursal data has been published in the ministry’s official annexure.

    PMKVY, the minister said, is being implemented across all districts and is aimed at ensuring accessibility and inclusion, particularly for marginalised communities. Training centres are being set up even in Aspirational Districts and those affected by Left-Wing Extremism.

    Chaudhary said the scheme has also begun offering training in emerging sectors such as Artificial Intelligence, Electric Vehicles, Robotics, 5G and Data Analytics to make the workforce future-ready. He added that job roles are aligned with the National Skills Qualification Framework and undergo regular updates based on feedback from industry and placement outcomes.

The Centre’s mission is to build collaborative partnerships to support accessible pathogen genomics globally, through translational research and research training; and also to provide support for genomics-informed infectious disease surveillance and response, through strategy development, capacity building and training.

    As one of the earliest members of the International Pathogen Surveillance Network (IPSN), the Centre has contributed expertise in governance, evaluation, epidemiology, bioinformatics and public health. The ISPN was established in 2023 to help protect people from infectious disease threats through the power of pathogen genomics. By connecting countries and regions, the network will strengthen sample analysis to inform public health decisions and provide a platform for enhanced data sharing.

    The partnership with IPSN has driven new collaborations, linkage with the global genomics community, capacity building and training initiatives, and development of key resources in the IPSN toolkit. Furthermore, the Centre co-hosted the IPSN’s 2024 Global Partners Forum in Bangkok. The event showcased the significant contribution of the ISPN towards improved access to genomics, and promotion of locallyled and globally supported initiatives to enhance genomic surveillance.

    One of the Centre’s key activities with the IPSN has been the development of a Monitoring and Evaluation Tool (M&E) for the IPSN toolkit, Capacity Strengthening Framework for Pathogen Genomics Informed Surveillance Systems. The M&E Tool is aligned with other IPSN tools and resources, and structured to support implementation of WHO’s Global Genomic Surveillance Strategy. It aims to provide countries, funders, and implementers with a standardized approach to systematically assess progress towards implementing the established goals for a public health pathogen genomics surveillance system.

    At the core of the tool is a capacity matrix, which measures progress across different components of pathogen genomics surveillance.  Structured into sections, each contains a series of scored items covering:

    1. genomics-informed surveillance and policy
    2. specimen selection, collection and referral
    3. laboratory workflow
    4. bioinformatics and analysis
    5. reporting and communication
    6. implementation in public health practice.

    The development of this new tool has been a collaborative effort with a number of global leaders in genomics such as the UK Health Security Agency, Robert Koch Institute, The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND), and the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL). Each has provided invaluable time, expertise and experience to the M&E Technical Working Group.

    “Collaboration is central to everything we do,” said Professor Ben Howden, Co-director of the Centre Pathogen Genomics.  “It drives innovation, fosters meaningful results, and strengthens global impact. Since its inception, the IPSN has been a leading force in expanding outreach, engagement, and partnerships across the genomics community at national, regional, and global levels. We are proud to have supported IPSN in mobilizing global resources, knowledge, and expertise to build more sustainable and resilient global health surveillance systems using pathogen genomics. We extend our congratulations to IPSN on its 2-year Anniversary. The dedication to knowledge sharing, capacity building, and advancing research and public health partnerships have strengthened our collective mission in ensuring equitable and sustainable access to genomic technology, tools, and resources for all. We look forward to another transformative year with the team.”

    Starting mid-2025, the Centre will commence piloting of the M&E Tool with support from the IPSN, and WHO regional and country offices. The purpose of the pilot is to further refine the user experience and improve functionality and applicability of the tool across contexts, through an iterative feedback and improvement process. Importantly, it will demonstrate how the M&E Tool is used across diverse countries, sectors and organizations with varying levels of genomics capacity.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: Secretary-General’s remarks to the High-level Political Forum [bilingual as delivered, scroll down for all-English and all-French]

    Source: United Nations secretary general

    This year’s High-Level Political Forum arrives at a time of profound challenge – but also real possibility.

    Despite enormous headwinds, we have seen just in the last two months what can be achieved when countries come together with conviction and focus.

    We saw it in Geneva, where the World Health Assembly adopted the Pandemic Agreement — a vital step toward a safer, more equitable global health architecture.

    We saw it in Nice at the Third UN Ocean Conference, where governments committed to expand marine protected areas and tackle plastic pollution and illegal fishing.

    And we saw it in Sevilla at the Fourth International Financing for Development Conference, where countries agreed on a new vision for global finance — one that expands fiscal space, lowers the cost of capital, and ensures developing countries have a stronger voice and participation in the organizations that shape their future. 

    These are not isolated wins.

    They are signs of momentum.

    Signs that multilateralism can deliver.

    Signs that transformation is not only necessary — it is possible.

    And that is the spirit we bring to this High-Level Political Forum.

    Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,

    This Forum is about renewing our common promise — to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all.

    We also recognize the deep linkages between development and peace.

    We meet against the backdrop of global conflicts that are pushing the Sustainable Development Goals further out of reach.

    That’s why we must keep working for peace in the Middle East.

    Over the weekend in Gaza, we saw yet more mass shootings and killings of people seeking UN aid for their families – an atrocious and inhumane act which I utterly condemn.

    We need an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, the immediate release of all hostages, and unimpeded humanitarian access as a first step to achieve the two-State solution.

    We need the ceasefire between Iran and Israel to hold.

    We need a just and lasting peace in Ukraine based on the UN Charter, international law and UN resolutions. 

    We need an end to the horror and bloodshed in Sudan.

    And the list goes on, from the DRC to Somalia, from the Sahel to Myanmar.

    At every step, we know sustainable peace requires sustainable development.

    The Sustainable Development Goals are not a dream.

    They are a plan.

    A plan to keep our promises — to the most vulnerable people, to each other, and to future generations.

    People win when we channel our energy into development.

    Since 2015, millions more people have access to electricity, clean cooking, and the internet.

    Social protection now reaches over half the world’s population — up from just a quarter a decade ago.

    More girls are completing school.

    Child marriage is declining.

    Women’s representation is growing — from the boardrooms of business to the halls of political power.  

    But we must face a tough reality:

    Only 35 per cent of SDG targets are on track or making moderate progress.

    Nearly half are moving too slowly.

    And 18 per cent are going backwards.

    Meanwhile, the global economy is slowing.

    Trade tensions are rising.

    Inequalities are growing.

    Aid budgets are being decimated while military spending soars.

    And mistrust, division and outright conflicts are placing the international problem-solving system under unprecedented strain.

    We cannot sugarcoat these facts. But we must not surrender to them either.

    The SDGs are still within reach — if we act with urgency and ambition.

    This year’s Forum focuses on five critical Goals: health, gender equality, decent work, life below water, and global partnerships.

    All are essential. All are interconnected. All can spur change across other goals.

    On health, COVID-19 exposed and deepened inequalities – and today, far too many people still lack access to basic care.
    We know what works.

    We must boost investment in universal health coverage, rooted in strong primary care and prevention, reaching those furthest behind first.

    On gender equality, gaps remain wide.

    Women and girls face systemic barriers — from violence and discrimination to unpaid care and limited political voice.

    But we also see growing momentum: from grassroots movements to national reforms.

    Now is the time to turn that momentum into transformation — with rights-based policies, accountability, and real financing into programmes that support inclusion and equality for women and girls.

    On decent work, the global economy is leaving billions behind.

    Over 2 billion people are in informal jobs. Youth unemployment is stubbornly high.

    But we have tools to change this.

    The Global Accelerator on Jobs and Social Protection is helping countries invest in expanded social protection initiatives, skills training, and the creation of sustainable livelihoods — including in growing industries like clean energy.

    Tomorrow, I will deliver an address on the enormous opportunities of the renewables revolution.

    The upcoming World Summit on Social Development can help spur further progress.

    Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,

    On life below water, our ocean and the communities that count on it are paying the price of overfishing, pollution, and climate change.

    We must deliver on the commitments of the Nice Ocean Conference — to protect marine ecosystems and support the millions who depend on them.

    And, finally, on global partnerships — SDG 17 — we need to strengthen all the elements that can support progress.

    This means investing in science, data, and local capacity.

    And harnessing digital innovation — including artificial intelligence — to accelerate progress, not deepen divides.

    Throughout, we must recognize the need to reform the unfair global financial system, which no longer represents today’s world or the challenges faced by developing countries.

    We must ensure a reform for developing countries to have a stronger voice and greater participation to help advance the Sustainable Development Goals on the ground.

    The Sevilla Commitment that emerged from the Conference on Financing for Development includes important steps: 

    Through new domestic and global commitments that can channel public and private finance to the areas of greatest need.

    By increasing the capacity of governments to substantially mobilize domestic resources, including through tax reform.

    And by establishing a more effective framework for debt relief and tripling the lending capacity of multilateral development banks to the benefit of developing countries. 

    Excellences,

    Au cours de l’année à venir, nous devons continuer à construire.

    Nous devons renforcer et élargir les partenariats qui portent leurs fruits – y compris avec le secteur privé et les organisations de la société civile et les pouvoirs locaux. 

    Nous devons faire en sorte que chaque décision s’inscrive dans une réflexion à long terme, comme nous nous y sommes engagés dans la Déclaration sur les générations futures.

    Et nous devons continuer d’apprendre les uns des autres.

    Les Examens nationaux volontaires, qui constituent la clé de voûte de ce forum, sont bien plus que de simples rapports.

    Ce sont des actes de responsabilité.

    Ce sont de véritables parcours d’introspection, que les pays suivent à mesure qu’ils se développent et se construisent.

    Et ce sont des modèles que les autres pays peuvent suivre et dont ils peuvent s’inspirer.

    À la fin de ce forum politique de haut niveau pour le développement durable, nous aurons dépassé les 400 examens, et plus de 150 pays en auront présenté plus d’un.

    Il s’agit là d’un signal fort d’engagement.

    Une preuve indéniable que des solutions existent et qu’elles peuvent être reproduites et étendues.

    À cinq ans de l’échéance, le temps est venu de convertir ces prémices de transformation en un puissant élan de progrès – qui bénéficie à tous les pays.

    Agissons avec détermination, justice et vision.

    Et concrétisons le développement – pour les personnes et pour la planète.

    Je vous remercie.

    We must strengthen and scale up partnerships that deliver — including with the private sector and civil society organizations and local authorities. 

    We must embed long-term thinking into every decision, as we committed in the Declaration on Future Generations.

    And we must continue to learn from each other.

    Voluntary National Reviews — the backbone of this Forum — are more than reports.

    They are acts of accountability.

    They are journeys of self-discovery as countries develop and build. 

    And they are templates for other countries to follow and learn from.

    By the end of this HLPF, we will have surpassed 400 reviews — with over 150 countries presenting more than once.

    That is a powerful signal of commitment.

    A clear demonstration that solutions exist and can be replicated and expanded.

    With five years left, it’s time to transform these sparks of transformation into a blaze of progress — for all countries.

    Let us act with determination, justice and direction.

    And let’s deliver on development — for people and for planet. 

    Thank you.

    [all-French]

    Cette année, le forum politique de haut niveau pour le développement durable se tient à une période marquée par de profondes remises en question, mais également par de réelles perspectives.

    Malgré de très puissants vents contraires, nous avons vu, ces deux derniers mois, ce qu’il est possible d’accomplir lorsque les pays s’unissent avec conviction et détermination.

    Nous l’avons vu à Genève, où l’Assemblée mondiale de la Santé a adopté l’Accord sur les pandémies, étape essentielle vers l’établissement d’une architecture mondiale de la santé plus sûre et plus équitable.

    Nous l’avons vu à Nice lors de la troisième Conférence des Nations Unies sur l’océan, où les gouvernements se sont engagés à étendre les aires marines protégées et à lutter contre la pollution plastique et la pêche illicite.

    Nous l’avons vu à Séville lors de la quatrième Conférence internationale sur le financement du développement, où les pays se sont mis d’accord sur une nouvelle conception de ce que doit être le financement mondial : une conception qui donne une plus grande marge de manœuvre budgétaire, qui réduise le coût du capital et qui permette aux pays en développement de mieux se faire entendre et la participation aux organisations qui partagent leur avenir.

    Ce ne sont pas là que des victoires isolées.

    Ce sont des signes qu’une dynamique se crée.

    Des signes que le multilatéralisme peut fonctionner.

    Des signes que, mieux que nécessaire, la transformation est possible.

    Et c’est l’esprit dans lequel nous abordons ce forum politique de haut niveau.

    Excellences,
    Mesdames et Messieurs,

    Le but de cette édition du forum est de renouveler l’engagement que nous avons pris ensemble : celui d’éliminer la pauvreté, protéger la planète et garantir la prospérité pour tous et toutes.

    Et nous sommes bien conscients des liens étroits qui existent entre le développement et la paix.

    Nous nous réunissons aujourd’hui dans le contexte de conflits mondiaux qui mettent les objectifs de développement durable encore plus hors de portée.

    C’est pourquoi nous devons continuer d’œuvrer à la paix au Moyen-Orient.

    Au cours du week-end à Gaza, nous avons assisté à de nouvelles fusillades et à de nouveaux meurtres de personnes cherchant l’aide de l’ONU pour leurs familles – un acte atroce et inhumain que je condamne catégoriquement.

    La solution des deux États doit se réaliser, mais pour cela, à titre préliminaire, il nous faut un cessez-le-feu immédiat à Gaza, une libération immédiate de tous les otages et un accès humanitaire sans entrave.

    Le cessez-le-feu entre l’Iran et Israël doit tenir.

    Il nous faut une paix juste et durable en Ukraine – une paix fondée sur la Charte des Nations Unies, le droit international et les résolutions des organes des Nations Unies.

    L’horreur et le bain de sang doivent cesser au Soudan.

    Au Soudan comme en RDC, en Somalie, au Sahel ou au Myanmar – et la liste est encore longue.

    Et toujours, nous devons nous souvenir qu’il n’y a pas de paix durable sans développement durable.

    Les objectifs de développement durable ne sont pas qu’un idéal.

    Ils portent tout un projet.

    Un projet qui doit nous aider à tenir nos promesses : les promesses faites aux personnes les plus vulnérables, celles que nous nous sommes faites mutuellement et celles que nous avons faites aux générations futures.

    Tout le monde est gagnant lorsque nous appliquons notre énergie au développement.

    Depuis 2015, des millions de personnes supplémentaires ont accès à l’électricité, à des solutions de cuisson propre et à Internet.

    Plus de la moitié de la population mondiale bénéficie désormais de la protection sociale ; ce n’était le cas que d’un quart de la population il y a dix ans.

    Davantage de filles achèvent leur scolarité.

    Les mariages d’enfants sont en baisse.

    Les femmes sont de plus en plus représentées, que ce soit dans les conseils d’administration des entreprises ou dans les sphères du pouvoir politique.

    Pourtant, nous devons reconnaître une dure réalité :

    Seuls 35 % des cibles des objectifs de développement durable sont en voie d’être atteints, ou du moins, enregistrent des progrès modérés dans ce sens.

    Ces progrès sont trop lents pour près de la moitié des cibles.

    Et c’est un recul qui est enregistré pour 18 % d’entre elles.

    Pendant ce temps, l’économie mondiale ralentit.

    Les tensions commerciales s’accentuent.

    Les inégalités augmentent.

    Les budgets consacrés à l’aide sont amputés alors que les dépenses militaires explosent.

    Et, comme jamais, la défiance, les divisions et les conflits ouverts mettent le système international de règlement des problèmes à rude épreuve.

    Cette réalité ne peut être édulcorée, mais elle ne doit pas nous faire fléchir.

    Nous pouvons toujours atteindre les objectifs de développement durable, si nous agissons de toute urgence et avec ambition.

    Cette année, le forum porte sur cinq objectifs fondamentaux : la santé, l’égalité des sexes, le travail décent, la vie aquatique et les partenariats mondiaux.

    Tous sont essentiels. Tous sont interdépendants. Tous sont porteurs de changement dans des domaines relevant d’autres objectifs.

    En ce qui concerne la santé, la COVID-19 a révélé et aggravé les inégalités, et aujourd’hui, beaucoup trop de personnes n’ont toujours pas accès aux soins de base.

    Nous savons ce qui fonctionne.

    Nous devons intensifier les investissements en faveur d’une couverture sanitaire universelle fondée sur un système solide de soins primaires et de prévention, qui servirait en premier lieu les personnes les plus laissées-pour-compte.

    En ce qui concerne l’égalité des sexes, le fossé reste immense.

    Les femmes et les filles se heurtent à des obstacles systémiques, qui vont de la violence et de la discrimination aux travaux domestiques non rémunérés et à un manque de représentation sur la scène politique.

    Nous assistons toutefois également à l’amorce d’une nouvelle dynamique, dans les mouvements locaux, les réformes nationales.

    Le moment est venu de transformer cette dynamique en véritable transformation, en faisant en sorte que des politiques fondées sur les droits, des dispositifs de responsabilité effective et des financements concrets soient mis au service de programmes qui favorisent l’inclusion et l’égalité pour les femmes et les filles.

    En ce qui concerne le travail décent, des milliards de personnes ne profitent pas de l’économie mondiale.

    Elles sont plus de 2 milliards à occuper des emplois informels. Le chômage des jeunes est obstinément élevé.

    Mais nous disposons d’outils pour changer la donne.

    L’Accélérateur mondial pour l’emploi et la protection sociale aide les pays à investir dans des initiatives de protection sociale élargies, dans la formation professionnelle et dans la création de moyens de subsistance durables, notamment dans des secteurs en forte croissance tels que les énergies propres.

    Demain, je prononcerai un discours sur l’immense potentiel que recèle la révolution des énergies renouvelables.

    Le prochain Sommet mondial pour le développement social peut aussi contribuer à accélérer les progrès.

    Excellences, mesdames et messieurs

    En ce qui concerne la vie aquatique, notre océan et les populations qui en dépendent paient le prix de la surpêche, de la pollution et des changements climatiques.

    Nous devons honorer les engagements qui ont été pris lors de la Conférence de Nice sur l’océan, à savoir protéger les écosystèmes marins et soutenir les millions de personnes qui en sont tributaires.

    Enfin, en ce qui concerne les partenariats mondiaux (l’objectif de développement durable no 17), nous devons consolider tous les facteurs de progrès potentiels.

    Autrement dit, il faut investir dans la science, les données et les capacités locales.

    Et exploiter l’innovation numérique – notamment l’intelligence artificielle – pour accélérer le progrès, et non creuser la fracture.

    Ce faisant, nous devons tenir compte de la nécessité de réformer le système financier mondial : un système inéquitable qui n’est plus représentatif du monde d’aujourd’hui ni des problématiques auxquelles font face les pays en développement.

    Nous devons mettre en œuvre une réforme permettant aux pays en développement de mieux se faire entendre et de participer davantage à la réalisation des Objectifs de développement durable sur le terrain.

    L’Engagement de Séville, adopté à l’occasion de la Conférence sur le financement du développement, prévoit un certain nombre de mesures majeures vers :
     

    • de nouveaux engagements nationaux et mondiaux susceptibles de diriger les financements publics et privés vers les secteurs où les besoins sont les plus importants ;
    • un renforcement de la capacité des États à mobiliser des ressources nationales en grandes quantités, notamment au moyen d’une réforme fiscale ;
    • une réforme de l’architecture financière mondiale, visant à permettre aux pays en développement, qui comptent sur ce système pour mieux servir et soutenir leurs populations, de mieux se faire entendre et de participer davantage ;
    • l’établissement d’un cadre plus efficace pour l’allégement de la dette et le triplement des capacités de prêt des banques multilatérales de développement au profit des pays en développement.

    Excellences,

    Au cours de l’année à venir, nous devons continuer à construire.

    Nous devons renforcer et élargir les partenariats qui portent leurs fruits – y compris avec le secteur privé et les organisations de la société civile et les pouvoirs locaux.

    Nous devons faire en sorte que chaque décision s’inscrive dans une réflexion à long terme, comme nous nous y sommes engagés dans la Déclaration sur les générations futures.

    Et nous devons continuer d’apprendre les uns des autres.

    Les Examens nationaux volontaires, qui constituent la clé de voûte de ce forum, sont bien plus que de simples rapports.

    Ce sont des actes de responsabilité.

    Ce sont de véritables parcours d’introspection, que les pays suivent à mesure qu’ils se développent et se construisent.

    Et ce sont des modèles que les autres pays peuvent suivre et dont ils peuvent s’inspirer.

    Il s’agit là d’un signal fort d’engagement.

    Une preuve indéniable que des solutions existent et qu’elles peuvent être reproduites et étendues.

    À cinq ans de l’échéance, le temps est venu de convertir ces prémices de transformation en un puissant élan de progrès – qui bénéficie à tous les pays.

    Agissons avec détermination, justice et vision.

    Et concrétisons le développement – pour les personnes et pour la planète.

    Je vous remercie.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Wyoming to honor Purple Heart recipients with Capitol ceremony on July 28

    Source: US State of Wyoming

    Wyoming National Guard

    By Joseph Coslett Jr.

    CHEYENNE, Wyo. – The Wyoming Veterans Commission invites Purple Heart recipients, their families, fellow veterans, service members, and the public to attend the 2025 Purple Heart Day Proclamation Signing Ceremony on July 28, 2025, from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Wyoming State Capitol in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

    Every Purple Heart tells a story, a moment when courage overcame fear when sacrifice triumphed over self-preservation. From Soldiers wounded in far-off combat zones to those who never returned home, this decoration represents the cost of freedom. And for Wyoming families, those stories are deeply personal.

    Created by General George Washington in 1782 as the “Badge of Military Merit,” the Purple Heart is the oldest military award still given to members of the U.S. Armed Forces. Today, it is awarded to those who have been wounded or killed while serving their country in combat.

    “Purple Heart Day,” recognized in Wyoming on August 7 each year by state statute, is more than a date on the calendar. It is a sacred reminder of the service and sacrifice made by brave men and women—including many from our own communities—who have earned this distinguished honor, according to the Veterans Commission.

    The July 28 proclamation signing will feature remarks from state and military leaders, personal reflections from veterans and families, and a reading of the official proclamation. Attendees are encouraged to listen, learn, and honor the stories of those who have sacrificed so much.

  • MIL-OSI: XRP price surges above $3.55, investors flock to PBK Miner, XRP mining project officially launched, redefining AI cloud mining

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Los Angeles, California, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As XRP price breaks through $3.55, returning to the spotlight of top cryptocurrencies, a new wave of investors has turned their attention to a fast-rising but little-known project on the XRP ledger: PBK Miner (PBKMiner XRP Mining).
    Given XRP’s resilience and strong fundamentals, many XRP holders are now looking to PBK Miner, a next-generation XRP mining program driven by artificial intelligence. By launching a 2-day XRP cloud mining contract, the platform provides investors with a flexible and efficient opportunity to accumulate XRP. The program aims to unlock the market’s strong demand for low-threshold, high-liquidity XRP investment products.

    Why PBK Miner is the XRP mining project everyone is paying attention to
    While XRP continues to dominate headlines in the wider crypto market, PBK Miner is quietly becoming one of the most promising XRP mining projects for 2025.
    PBK Miner fills a much-needed gap in the XRP ecosystem, integrating a powerful computing power leasing service, flexible and efficient contract options, and an AI-driven yield optimization system, and integrating all functions into a user-centric platform. With ultra-low entry barriers, flexible terms, and stable returns, this XRP mining-focused solution quickly won the favor of XRP holders and short-term investors. In just one week, the number of XRP short-term investors on the platform surged by 300%.

    PBK Miner now offers flexible XRP mining plans:
    2-day strategy: return rate +6.7%
    5-day strategy: return rate +6.19%
    15-day strategy: return rate +20.9%
    30-day strategy: return rate +55.7%
    These performance figures are not speculation, but are based on real usage data from millions of users. This is due to PBKMiner’s AI-driven profit optimization engine and result-oriented XRP mining model.
    One of the most attractive aspects of the XRP mining plan is the ultra-low investment threshold and flexible contract period. For example, the 2-day XRP mining strategy starts at only $100.

    Why its easy for everyone to start mining XRP with PBKMiner
    No hardware required: Users can leverage the platform’s massive hashing power to mine XRP — without having to purchase expensive equipment.
    Zero maintenance costs: PBKMiner covers all electricity, maintenance, and operational needs. After purchasing a package, users can enjoy the benefits with peace of mind – even a novice can start mining in minutes.
    Newbie-friendly: No technical knowledge required. New users can instantly receive a $10 sign-up bonus.
    Stable daily income: Daily income can be withdrawn, and the principal will be fully returned at the end of the contract to ensure the safety of funds.

    Since its founding in 2019, PBKMiner has expanded its cloud mining business for BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE, and SOL in 183+ countries and regions, serving more than 8.5 million active users worldwide. With the launch of 2-day XRP contracts, PBKMiner has now opened access to its high-performance XRP cloud mining infrastructure and has quickly become the first choice for XRP holders and short-term investors.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Congresswoman Harriet Hageman Votes in Favor of Historic Rescissions Package

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Wyoming Congresswoman Harriet Hageman

    Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Harriet Hageman joined her Republican colleagues in passing a historic rescission package, sending it to President Trump’s desk. This measure removes $1.1 billion in annual federal funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (PBS & NPR), and $7.9 billion from USAID foreign aid programs, totaling $9 billion in reclaimed taxpayer dollars. 

    The Congresswoman released the following statement:  

    “For too long, American families have been forced to subsidize liberal-leaning media under the guise of ‘public service.’ When NPR/PBS were started, there were few options available. There are now so many different outlets that need for government funded media has been replaced by the free market, and public media now prioritizes far-left narratives over balanced journalism. This federal funding should not support woke indoctrination in children’s programming, including, drag queen story hours, political lectures from popular characters, and anti-American messaging, when parents can choose from a vast, private media landscape,” said Congresswoman Hageman. 

    “In emergency situations like the recent Texas floods, taxpayers discovered private broadcasters stepped up with immediate alerts and lifesaving updates, while NPR affiliates lagged behind, remaining silent for hours. This proves that public safety is not uniquely tied to taxpayer-funded media. 

    This rescission marks our first major strike against federal waste, fraud, and abuse, and it is just the beginning. We will continue to scrutinize every dollar the federal government claims it needs. American families deserve a government that is lean, accountable, and focused on results, not politicized media subsidies.” 

    Examples of what we are defunding: 

    • PBS programming includes “Real Boy,” a program about a trans teen, and “Our League” about a trans woman returning to her hometown
    • $1 million for voter ID in Haiti
    • $3 million for Iraqi Sesame Street
    • $1 million for programs to strengthen the resilience of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer global movements
    • PBS shows that indoctrinate children such as, “Drag Queen Story Hour”
    • $33,000 for “Being LGBTI in the Caribbean”
    • NPR requested and received a $1.9 million grant commitment from CPB to hire more “moderate” Editors and journalists, as they recognized their complete leftist bias
    • $130 million from other IOP programs, which includes programs like UN Women, UN Panel on Climate Change, Int’l Conservation Programs, etc.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Senator Marshall: America is Now the Hottest Country in the World

    US Senate News:

    Senator Marshall Joins Newsmax to Discuss the First Six Months of President Trump’s Second Term & the Booming Economy
    Washington – On Monday, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas), joined Marc Lotter and Sharla McBride on Newmax’s Wake Up America to discuss the first six months of President Trump’s second term, future spending cuts in Congress, DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s recent report, and the MAHA legislative package he is introducing.

    Click HERE or on the image above to watch Senator Marshall’s full interview.
    On the first six months of President Trump’s second term:
    “Exactly. I told my wife this morning, you know, we’re part of the Trump chain gang. Let’s get to work up here. Congress doesn’t have any idea what it’s like out in the real world, where, as a physician, I worked every weekend. I didn’t take days off for years at a time. So, I’m used to this pace. I’m used to Trump Time.
    “But I’m calling this economy the Lazarus Economy. A year ago, as President Trump said, the economy was dead, and now we’re the hottest country in the world. Trillions of dollars are being invested, jobs are growing, inflation is down, the price of gasoline is down, and the border is secure. And our military is being taken care of. We just passed the largest tax cut in American history and the largest cut in federal government spending as well. This was a bill that’s going to help middle-income Americans and small businesses. Very proud of the work we’ve done these last six months.”
    On future spending cuts from the Senate:
    “Well, we certainly need to prioritize them, and Congress needs to develop this memory. This is the first time… since President Bush, the first, we’ve actually done a rescissions package. So, this was a good start to learn. You know, the backdrop of this $37 trillion of national debt right now. We’re going to spend a trillion dollars on interest this year. This is the number one threat to my grandchildren’s future: this national debt.
    “Look, I think what your listeners need to understand is the Government Accounting Office, the Office of Inspector General, has been saying for over a decade now that there is systemic risk for fraud, waste, and abuse in USAID. And that’s why I asked Elon to burn it to the ground and start over.
    “Just give you a few more examples here… in Tanzania, Zambia … $50 million of medical equipment theft. In New Guinea, $100 million of scandals are going on. More recently, $500 million here in the United States, where people were skimming and taking bribes back; all USAID programs. Go back to an earthquake in Haiti. We gave them a billion dollars decades ago. They never did anything with it. They did not build the energy plant they were supposed to. So, we have a president standing up identifying fraud. Now Congress needs to do her job with 50 votes. We can continue this on the Senate side.”
    On DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s report about Russia misinformation:
    “Well, look, this is absolutely believable. This is new information that in the Oval Office, with the highest members of the FBI and the Intelligence Agency under Obama, they cooked up a plan to continue this ‘Russia, Russia, Russia’ hoax. You know, this is kind of the second chapter of the FISA court abuse that was done under the Obama administration as well. Those people never paid the price they should have paid as well. Judges should have been fired, and people within the FBI should have been fired over that. Maybe one person held accountable.
    “So, this is the next chapter. We need total transparency. I think that’s what, you know, the beauty of President Trump’s cabinet is, they’re going to show America the whole truth here, nothing but the truth, and let the Justice Department do its job. And by the way, you’ll see Congress probably having more hearings on this as well.”
    On the Make America Healthy Again package:
    “Well, look, what I believe is that healthy soil meets healthy food, meets healthy people. That when agriculture can focus on soil health by growing more with less, by using less pesticides, using less water, and using modern-day agriculture, precision agriculture practices, we can make the soil healthier. That’s going to make the food more nutrient-rich, and that’s going to lead to healthier people.
    “Look, 90% of the money spent on health care in this country is spent on seven chronic diseases, including hypertension, diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s, those types of things. So, we need to focus in on those chronic diseases, try to prevent them with healthy food, and then treat them with healthy food as well. And I’m so proud to work with Secretary Kennedy and Secretary Rollins to get this job done.”

    Senator Marshall Joins Fox News Live
    Washington – On Sunday, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas), joined Fox News to discuss Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard’s recent report indicating that former President Obama’s administration manufactured the Russia misinformation scandal, the benefits of the $9 billion rescissions package, and the importance of the recently passed GENIUS Act for America’s financial stability.

    Click HERE or on the image above to watch Senator Marshall’s full interview.
    On DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s recent report:
    “I think there’s a lot of new information coming to bear right now, information that I’d never heard of before, as far as what was happening in the old Oval Office, where there was a conspiracy to absolutely undermine President Trump as he took office as well. You recall back when the FISA court abuses started, you were covering that story as well.
    “So, this just makes sense, after you understand what the FISA abuse that was going on. This was the next chapter of it. I think the Democrats never thought that President Trump could win. And now more of this is coming to light.”
    On whether the Senate intelligence committee missed something in the original report:
    “Look, I think that she’s uncovered new information since then. I think that there are new documents that are showing that President Obama was in the room and they did this conspiracy, working with lifetime people within the political agencies, within the FBI… there was a conspiracy to try to throw out this misinformation, to try to address [and] make this an illegitimate election. So, I think this is new information. I think it needs to be investigated. I think that’s the job of the Attorney General: to find the truth and deliver justice for America.”
    On the necessity to pass the $9 billion rescissions package:
    “Well, certainly the whole backdrop of this is the $37 trillion of national debt we have. $9 billion is still a lot of money back home. When the President discovers fraud, waste, and abuse, we need to go after it. I think what America doesn’t realize is that our own Government Accounting Office, our own Inspector General, has been saying for over a decade that USAID is rife with fraud and abuse.
    “Just think back recently, $500 million bribery scheme with USAID dollars, $100 million of embezzlement in Zambia recently as well. So all over the world, there’s fraud, waste, and abuse. We need to go after all of it. 
    “But yes, at the end of the day, we need to go back to a regular budget process. We recently dropped a budget bill that would require and force Congress to go back and do its job. And just like you start at home with your family, a budget or a business, we need to go back and do a real budget.”
    On the President signing the first major crypto currency bill:
    “Well, I think that this is a great start. I’m a doctor, and the first thing we learned, even before med school, is the skeleton. So think of this as the skeleton to preserve and protect the stablecoin industry. This is really important for consumers. It’s going to make sure that when they’re investing in crypto, it’s pegged one-to-one with the US dollar. So, it’s good for consumers. I think it’s going to keep the US dollar dominant. It’s going to promote innovation. 
    “When you put a few rules around it, those people that are innovators are ready to move forward as well. And I know that you care a lot about national security, so I think that this is a step forward in preventing some of the money laundering schemes that we see going across the world as well.
    “So, this is a great first step. Yes, it’s going to take more. Think back to the internet in 1996 – we wanted to put some guardrails around it, but not stifle the innovation.”
    On what’s next for crypto legislation in Congress:
    “You know, go back to my analogy of the skeleton. You learn the skeleton, and then you have to put muscles on it, and organs, and the nervous system. So, I think that how much more consumer protection do we need? What else can we do to make sure that these financial institutions that are issuing the coins are held up to the standards of, say, a bank, ‘know your customer type of philosophy as well.’
    “So, there’s more to be done, but this was the low-hanging fruit. This is what we could get 60 votes in the Senate for. We may struggle doing any more this year, but we’ll see.”
    On President Trump’s call to potentially end the August recess:
    “You know, absolutely, and certainly, I want to agree with the President that Leader Thune is very talented, and he’s doing an incredible job. Right now, I’ve talked to many of the Secretaries, the Cabinet Members, Billy Long over at the IRS, and they’re drowning. They’re drowning because the swamp is so deep here, and they need more political appointees to help them get through this swamp and get their job done. So, I’m willing to do it. Look, I’ve worked weekends my whole life. I don’t know what a vacation even means. I’m happy to stay here as long as we’re working.”

    Congresswoman Barragán’s Statement on House Republicans Voting to Defund Public Broadcasting 

    Washington, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Nanette Barragán (CA-44) released the following statement:

    “House Republicans voted to defund public broadcasting — and Southern California families will feel the impact. They’re taking back $4.3 million from PBS SoCal, which provides trusted educational programming, like Sesame Street, and free learning materials from over 1 million children under the age of 5 in our region.

    It also eliminates funding for stations like KCRW in Santa Monica and KUSC in Los Angeles, jeopardizing access to local news, cultural programming, and emergency alerts that keep our communities safe and informed.

    I voted AGAINST this power grab that takes away money Congress has already allocated. This isn’t about saving money — it’s about silencing voices and access to programming that thin-skinned Donald Trump and his Rubber Stamp Republicans don’t like. That’s about as un-American as you can get.”
