    BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhua) — China’s passenger car sector posted double-digit growth in retail sales in June as government policies to boost consumption continued to have an effect, the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) said Tuesday.

    China’s passenger car retail sales rose 18.1 percent year-on-year last month to more than 2.08 million units, the association said.

    The association attributed the significant increase to the impact of a nationwide trade-in program for consumer goods.

    Last month, the country’s government reaffirmed its support for the program, guaranteeing continued funding to maintain government subsidy payments through 2025. The program, a key part of the country’s broader strategy to boost domestic consumption, encourages consumers to replace older products such as appliances and vehicles with newer, more efficient models.

    In June, China produced 1.2 million new energy passenger vehicles, with retail sales exceeding 1.11 million units, up 28.3 percent and 29.7 percent year-on-year, respectively.

    According to the association, in the first six months of this year, retail sales of passenger cars exceeded 10.9 million units, an increase of 10.8 percent year-on-year. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Security: Denver Man Charged with 27 Counts in Connection with CARES Act Fraud

    Source: US FBI

    DENVER – An indictment was unsealed on Wednesday in Denver charging Steve Randall Howe with twenty counts of bank fraud and seven counts of money laundering in connection with a scheme to defraud the United States Small Business Administration (SBA).

    According to the indictment, between April 2020 and January 2022, Howe obtained more than $1.2 million in Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans on behalf of six businesses he owned.  To obtain the loans, Howe submitted false information and fabricated documents to lenders to make it appear that those companies were eligible for PPP loans when they were not.  Howe then used the loan money for ineligible expenses, like purchases of residential properties, retail purchases, travel expenses, and transfers of money to China.  The indictment alleges that Howe then applied for, and received, forgiveness on each loan, never making a single payment on them.

    The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was enacted in March 2020 and was designed to provide emergency financial assistance to Americans dealing with the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The CARES Act created the PPP, a program administered by the SBA that provided loans to small businesses to retain workers, maintain payroll, and pay for certain other expenses consistent with PPP rules.  Small businesses could subsequently request forgiveness of the loan after certifying the loan was used to pay for eligible costs.    

    The defendant made his initial appearance on July 2, 2025, in Denver in front of United States Magistrate Judge N. Reid Neureiter.

    The charges contained in the indictment are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

    This case is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation.  The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Taylor Glogiewicz and Craig Fansler.

    Anyone with information about allegations of attempted fraud involving COVID-19 can report it by calling the Department of Justice’s National Center for Disaster Fraud (NCDF) Hotline at 866-720-5721 or via the NCDF Web Complaint Form at: https://www.justice.gov/disaster-fraud/ncdf-disaster-complaint-form.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: SA’s agricultural exports reach US$3,36 billion 

    Source: Government of South Africa

    For the first quarter of 2025, South Africa’s agricultural exports reached US$3,36 billion, which translates to a 10% increase year-on-year, says Minister of Agriculture John Steenhuisen.

    This is due to the work that government has been doing in expanding market access and defending trade over the past year.

    “We facilitated new access for avocados to China, maize to Japan and India, beef to Iran, and table grapes to the Philippines and Vietnam. We managed a quick resolution to Botswana’s temporary ban on South African maize and wheat, reopening the border within two weeks.

    “We were part of the Presidential delegation to the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in China, secured protocols for wool, dairy and meat exports, and participated in high-level delegations to Davos, Japan, and Berlin,” the Minister said on Tuesday in Cape Town.

    Furthermore, South Africa had formal bilateral engagements with counterparts from the G7, African Union (AU), and G20, to advance the country’s market access and biosecurity agenda.

    Addressing the Department of Agriculture’s Post-Budget Vote Media Briefing, the Minister outlined the significant strides the department has made in expanding market access, restoring biosecurity, delivering targeted farmer support, fighting food insecurity and empowering young people in the sector.

    Restoring biosecurity and disaster preparedness

    Over the past year, government has prioritised biosecurity as the world witnessed an increase in animal and plant disease risks.
    The Minister said biosecurity is no longer a technical matter, but an economic and national imperative. 

    “Over the past year, we have established the National Biosecurity Compact and a Biosecurity Council, which bring together scientists, industry experts and officials to coordinate outbreak responses.

    “[We have] deployed animal health technicians to vaccinate against Foot and Mouth Disease in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, as well as adopted a new proactive, strategic approach,” Steenhuisen.

    Moreover, government relaunched the National Biosecurity Hub in partnership with the University of Pretoria and commenced the country’s first avian influenza vaccination campaign that was supported by upgraded digital disease surveillance.

    “Our efforts are restoring confidence in our export systems and protecting farmers from catastrophic losses,” the Minister said.

    Delivering targeted farmer support

    According Steenhuisen, this year, over 6 000 farmers received direct support through a R1.7 billion allocation, creating 3 000 jobs.

    “Through Ilima/Letsema, we supported 67.492 vulnerable households, generating nearly 9 500 work opportunities. We launched new smallholder farmer programmes in Jozini and beyond, focused on shifting the paradigm from “grow and sell” to “grow to sell”.

    Ilima/Letsema is a government programme aimed at reducing poverty through increased food production initiatives.

    In addition, government fast tracked the global Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) accreditation for emerging producers and expanded access to finance through a restructured Blended Finance Scheme.

    “We have made it clear; the future of agriculture lies with the youth. Over 3 000 agricultural graduates have entered internship programmes. We have begun integrating all 11 agricultural colleges into the higher education system, starting with Elsenburg. 

    “We are investing in climate-smart agriculture, pollinator protection, agroecology, and digital agri-tech tools to make agriculture attractive to the next generation,” the Minister said. – SAnews.gov.za

    BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhua) — China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has the confidence and ability to dispel all illusions of separatists advocating “Taiwan independence,” Defense Ministry spokesman Jiang Bin said Tuesday.

    Jiang Bin thus commented, at the request of journalists, on recent statements by the head of the Taiwanese administration, Lai Qingde, about the so-called increase in the “defense budget” and the “struggle for Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu.”

    Both sides of the Taiwan Strait belong to China alone, and Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu are all part of China’s sacred territory, Jiang Bin stated.

    Jiang Bin criticized Lai Qingde for fabricating security threats to manipulate public opinion in Taiwan and attempting to militarize local society and drag Taiwan’s future into a scenario of external interference.

    Lai Qingde’s call to “fight for Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu” is actually a fight for the interests of the Democratic Progressive Party and the separatists’ desire for “Taiwan independence,” he confirmed.

    Commenting on Taiwan’s military exercises that will begin on Wednesday, Jiang Bin noted that no matter what exercises they conduct or what weapons they use, it will not stop the PLA’s countermeasures against “Taiwan independence” or stop the irresistible trend of national reunification. -0-

    SHANGHAI, July 8 (Xinhua) — A special exhibition titled “Great Poet, Pride of the Nation – A.S. Pushkin and Eastern Repercussions” opened at the China Printing and Publishing Museum in Shanghai on Monday.

    The event presents more than one hundred exhibits from the collection of the All-Russian Museum of A.S. Pushkin, which provide a comprehensive overview of the creative path of Alexander Pushkin and the dissemination of his works in China over more than 100 years. Many of them were imported to China for the first time and shown to the country’s residents.

    The exhibition consists of three parts dedicated to the poet’s biography, his classical works, and his connection with China. Pushkin’s study in the Mikhailovskoye estate, where the Russian poet created the historical drama “Boris Godunov” and other famous lyric poems, was recreated on site.

    The exhibition also features valuable works of art created by Russian artists from the late 19th to the early 21st century, such as Ilya Repin’s painting “The Duel of Onegin and Lensky,” Alexander Benois’s illustrations for “The Bronze Horseman,” and Vladimir Favorsky’s illustrations for “Boris Godunov.”

    In addition, the exhibition pays great attention to the dissemination of the Russian poet’s works and their influence in China, and presents rich literary sources, including a copy of the Shiu Bao newspaper, in which, as is known, A.S. Pushkin was first mentioned in China.

    At the same time, the exhibition also displays manuscripts and personal collections of Chinese translators, which have become important evidence of Sino-Russian literary exchanges. Among them are works and translations by Ge Baoquan, Wang Zhiliang, Feng Chun, as well as the Pushkin Medal awarded to Liu Wenfei and his award certificate.

    Museum visitors can use an interactive device to receive commemorative postcards printed with poems such as “If Life Deceives You…,” translated by Ge Baoquan, Feng Chun and Liu Wenfei.

    The exhibition opened to the public on Tuesday and runs until October 9.

    Shanghai has an inseparable connection with Pushkin. Let us recall that at the beginning of the 20th century, Pushkin’s novel “The Captain’s Daughter” was translated into Chinese and published in Shanghai. This novel became the first work of Russian literature translated into Chinese and published as a separate book, which, according to some scholars, marked the beginning of the translation and dissemination of Russian literature in China.

    Moreover, in one of the squares of the Chinese metropolis there is a monument to the great Russian poet, which was originally erected in early February 1937, restored in February 1947 and reconstructed in August 1987. -0-

    Source: Hong Kong Information Services

    Financial Secretary Paul Chan today began his visit to Seoul, Korea, by meeting Bank of Korea Governor Rhee Chang-yong and Korea Investment Corporation President & Chief Executive Officer Park Il-young.

    Upon arrival in the afternoon, Mr Chan visited the Bank of Korea, the country’s central bank, and met Governor Rhee Chang-yong to discuss the developments in finance, trade and economic landscapes of the two places, in the region and around the globe.

    They also exchanged views on monetary and interest rate policies and investment trends.

    During the meeting, Mr Chan shared the latest developments in Hong Kong, particularly the continuous capital inflow to Hong Kong’s financial system, reflecting international investors’ confidence in Hong Kong in the current international environment.

    Mr Chan said that Hong Kong maintains a free and open economic and financial system as well as the Linked Exchange Rate System under the “one country, two systems” principle. He also highlighted that Hong Kong’s unique advantage of being connected to the Mainland and the world, as well as its highly internationalised characteristics, is further attracting more international participants and capital to enjoy opportunities brought by developments in China.

    Hong Kong’s international ties are continuously deepening, Mr Chan added.

    Thereafter, the finance chief visited the Korea Investment Corporation (KIC) and met its President & Chief Executive Officer Park Il-young to have an in-depth exchange of opinions on various issues of mutual concern, such as trends of investment markets, asset allocation strategies and digital asset developments.

    The KIC was established by the Korean government in 2005, responsible for managing part of Korea’s foreign exchange reserves and other public funds for overseas investments. Currently, over US$200 billion of assets are under its management.

    Mr Chan shared the recent developments in Hong Kong’s economic and financial markets, and its important role in connecting capital and investors from China and around the globe.

    He pointed out that Hong Kong’s capital market is closely connected to the Mainland’s innovation and technology (I&T) ecosystem. The recent stock market is vibrant, with many leading Mainland I&T enterprises having listed or planning to list in Hong Kong. To international investors, Hong Kong serves as a highly effective gateway to tap into I&T opportunities in Greater China.

    Mr Chan welcomed Korean capital to better use the Hong Kong market to allocate international investments and jointly seize the vast business opportunities of I&T developments.

    In the evening, Mr Chan had dinner with leaders in Korea’s digital asset industry, where he shared Hong Kong’s developments and opportunities in digital assets.

    He also encouraged the local industry to actively participate in the Hong Kong market and jointly explore and expand more applications and developments in digital assets.

  • MIL-OSI Economics: IMCA delegation briefs European Parliament and European Commission on marine contractors’ vital role in securing critical offshore infrastructure

    Source: International Marine Contractors Association – IMCA

    Headline: IMCA delegation briefs European Parliament and European Commission on marine contractors’ vital role in securing critical offshore infrastructure



    IMCA delegation briefs European Parliament and European Commission













    A delegation of senior IMCA representatives briefed Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and senior representatives from the European Commission at a lunchtime briefing on the marine contracting sector’s essential role in securing critical offshore infrastructure. 

    The event, hosted by Walter Beke MEP at the end of June, continued IMCA’s ongoing work to inform elected representatives and civil servants of the offshore contracting sector’s critical role as a strategic enabler of Europe’s energy and climate ambitions. 

    The interest among EU audiences was strong, with 13 MEPs in attendance from the European Parliament’s Security, Energy, and Transport Committees, and from the Seas, Rivers, Islands & Coastal Areas (SEArica) intergroup. They were joined by two senior officials from the European Commission, and two representatives from EU member states, testament to the growing importance of this topic. 

    Submarine communication cables carry 99% of inter-continental internet traffic, while submarine electricity cables are key to energy security, connecting electricity markets and bringing offshore renewable energy to shore.  

    However, Mr Beke welcomed guests to the briefing, held under the title ‘securing critical offshore and underwater infrastructures’, by outlining the growing threat to this marine infrastructure from malicious actors. 

    In his welcome address, IMCA President Luca Gentili, from the global contractor SAIPEM, outlined the essential role of Europe’s marine contractors in delivering a “safe, more sustainable energy mix”, and pledged that IMCA “through its technical work, and as an advisor to regulators and governments” stood ready to “contribute to the security of Europe”. 

    The meeting then heard two presentations, from IMCA CEO Iain Grainger on protecting undersea infrastructure, and from IMCA Director of Strategy and Energy Transition Lee Billingham, who outlined the findings of IMCA’s recent Economic Impact Assessment, authored by PA Consulting. 

    They were supported with insight from IMCA Vice-President Hugo Bouvy from DEME Offshore, Michel Hendriks from IMCA Board member Heerema, Jack Wattel from IMCA Board member N-Sea, and by IMCA Head of Communications Patrick Clift. 

    Iain outlined the scale of Europe’s undersea infrastructure, which includes 1,200 active oil and gas facilities, 20,000km of oil and gas pipelines, and over 10,000km of cables. The EU’s target to generate 300GW of offshore renewable energy by 2050 could necessitate the construction of an additional 20,000 wind turbines, dramatically increasing the amount of infrastructure that could be targeted by saboteurs. 

    The owners of telecoms cables have mature strategies in place to manage repairs – including through cooperative agreements such as ACMA, a non-profit cooperative subsea maintenance agreement of nearly 60 members that has three repair vessels on permanent standby in North America, the Caribbean, the North Sea, and West Africa, and MECMA, a similar body covering the Mediterranean region.  

    However, power cables are much more challenging to repair at speed, Iain said, given the absence of such ‘repair clubs’, and the additional complexity of fixing them.

    Headline: IMCA delegation briefs European Parliament and European Commission on marine contractors’ vital role in securing critical offshore infrastructure



    IMCA delegation briefs European Parliament and European Commission













    A delegation of senior IMCA representatives briefed Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and senior representatives from the European Commission at a lunchtime briefing on the marine contracting sector’s essential role in securing critical offshore infrastructure. 

    The event, hosted by Walter Beke MEP at the end of June, continued IMCA’s ongoing work to inform elected representatives and civil servants of the offshore contracting sector’s critical role as a strategic enabler of Europe’s energy and climate ambitions. 

    The interest among EU audiences was strong, with 13 MEPs in attendance from the European Parliament’s Security, Energy, and Transport Committees, and from the Seas, Rivers, Islands & Coastal Areas (SEArica) intergroup. They were joined by two senior officials from the European Commission, and two representatives from EU member states, testament to the growing importance of this topic. 

    Submarine communication cables carry 99% of inter-continental internet traffic, while submarine electricity cables are key to energy security, connecting electricity markets and bringing offshore renewable energy to shore.  

    However, Mr Beke welcomed guests to the briefing, held under the title ‘securing critical offshore and underwater infrastructures’, by outlining the growing threat to this marine infrastructure from malicious actors. 

    In his welcome address, IMCA President Luca Gentili, from the global contractor SAIPEM, outlined the essential role of Europe’s marine contractors in delivering a “safe, more sustainable energy mix”, and pledged that IMCA “through its technical work, and as an advisor to regulators and governments” stood ready to “contribute to the security of Europe”. 

    The meeting then heard two presentations, from IMCA CEO Iain Grainger on protecting undersea infrastructure, and from IMCA Director of Strategy and Energy Transition Lee Billingham, who outlined the findings of IMCA’s recent Economic Impact Assessment, authored by PA Consulting. 

    They were supported with insight from IMCA Vice-President Hugo Bouvy from DEME Offshore, Michel Hendriks from IMCA Board member Heerema, Jack Wattel from IMCA Board member N-Sea, and by IMCA Head of Communications Patrick Clift. 

    Iain outlined the scale of Europe’s undersea infrastructure, which includes 1,200 active oil and gas facilities, 20,000km of oil and gas pipelines, and over 10,000km of cables. The EU’s target to generate 300GW of offshore renewable energy by 2050 could necessitate the construction of an additional 20,000 wind turbines, dramatically increasing the amount of infrastructure that could be targeted by saboteurs. 

    The owners of telecoms cables have mature strategies in place to manage repairs – including through cooperative agreements such as ACMA, a non-profit cooperative subsea maintenance agreement of nearly 60 members that has three repair vessels on permanent standby in North America, the Caribbean, the North Sea, and West Africa, and MECMA, a similar body covering the Mediterranean region.  

    However, power cables are much more challenging to repair at speed, Iain said, given the absence of such ‘repair clubs’, and the additional complexity of fixing them. 

    Iain highlighted that Europe’s offshore sector had 61 vessels capable of laying and repairing cables, more than any other country or region in the world. To enable the fleet to invest and play its part in protecting undersea infrastructure, he highlighted:

  • MIL-OSI Economics: New Development Bank and State Grid Brazil Holding Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Boost Brazil’s Energy Capacity

    Source: New Development Bank

    Rio de Janeiro, Brazil – On July 3, 2025, the New Development Bank (NDB) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with State Grid Brazil Holding (SGBH), with the aim of enhancing electricity transmission capacity in Brazil, to meet the immediate needs of the nation’s power sector.

    The signing of this Memorandum took place on the sidelines of NDB’s 10th Annual Meeting, held on July 4 and 5 in Rio de Janeiro.

    The project, known as the Graca Aranha Silvania Transmissora de Energia (“GATE”), will be implemented by a subsidiary of SGBH.

    The implementation of the GATE Project will address immediate needs of the electricity sector in Brazil – increasing power transmission capacity, decongesting the transmission corridor, reducing curtailment of existing renewable energy projects, and enabling investments in future wind and solar projects in the Northeast region of Brazil, and hence leading to a more diversified electricity mix in the country.

    Out of the total project capex of around BRL 18 billion, more than two-thirds will be sourced from Brazil, thereby significantly promoting economic and social development, by creating more than 10,000 employment opportunities during construction, in the Northeast (Maranhão and Tocantins) and the Center-West (Goiás) regions of the country.

    NDB is considering financing the Project in Chinese renminbi, with an estimated amount of RMB 2,150 million (approximately USD 300 million). The loan demonstrates NDB’s commitment to expanding non-sovereign operations and increasing cross-border use of its member countries’ currencies, as envisaged in NDB’s General Strategy.

    “The GATE project signifies a leap in cooperation among NDB member countries and promotes the use of local currencies. When signed, this will be our second cross-border RMB-denominated loan, which will leverage Brazil’s clean energy potential to address urgent electricity demands and benefit millions or people while generating new jobs,” said H.E. Mrs. Dilma Rousseff, President of NDB. “By expanding investments in green infrastructure, renewable energy, and sustainable development projects, the New Development Bank aims to support Brazil in achieving its climate goals.”

    This strategic partnership marks a significant step toward a more sustainable and efficient energy landscape in Brazil, aligning with NDB’s commitment to supporting development initiatives that foster economic growth and environmental sustainability.

    Since its inception in 2015, NDB has approved 29 projects in Brazil alone with USD 7 billion in approved financing. These projects are spread across several states and municipalities in Brazil, helping improve clean energy, transport, water and sanitation, and social infrastructure. NDB also has a growing portfolio of private sector loans in the country.

    Background Information

    NDB was established by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa to mobilize resources for infrastructure and sustainable development projects in BRICS and other emerging market economies and developing countries, complementing the existing efforts of multilateral and regional financial institutions for global growth and development.

  • MIL-OSI Submissions: President Trump’s tug-of-war with the courts, explained

    Source: The Conversation – USA – By Paul M. Collins Jr., Professor of Legal Studies and Political Science, UMass Amherst

    The U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. Stefani Reynolds/Bloomberg

    The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump a big win on June 27, 2025, by limiting the ability of judges to block Trump administration policies across the nation.

    But Trump has not fared nearly as well in the lower courts, where he has lost a series of cases through different levels of the federal court system. On June 5, a single judge temporarily stopped the administration from preventing Harvard University from enrolling international students.

    And a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of International Trade blocked Trump on May 28 from imposing tariffs on China and other nations. The Trump administration has appealed this decision. It will be taken up in July by all 11 judges on the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.

    After that, the case can be appealed to the Supreme Court.

    I’m a scholar of the federal courts. The reasons why some courts have multiple judges and others have a single judge can be confusing. Here’s a guide to help understand what’s going on in the federal courts.

    Federal District Courts

    The U.S. District Courts are the trial courts in the federal system and hear about 400,000 cases per year. A single judge almost always presides over cases.

    This makes sense for a jury trial, since a judge might make dozens of spur-of-the-moment decisions during the course of a trial, such as ruling on a lawyer’s objection to a question asked of a witness. If a panel of, say, three judges performed this task, it would prolong proceedings because the three judges would have to deliberate over every ruling.

    A more controversial role of District Courts involves setting nationwide injunctions. This happens when a single judge temporarily stops the government from enforcing a policy throughout the nation.

    There have been more than two dozen nationwide injunctions during Trump’s second term. These involve policy areas as diverse as ending birthright citizenship, firing federal employees and banning transgender people from serving in the military.

    Trump and Republicans in Congress argue that the ability to issue nationwide injunctions gives too much power to a single judge. Instead, they believe injunctions should apply only to the parties involved in the case.

    On June 27, the Supreme Court agreed with the Trump administration and severely limited the ability of District Court judges to issue nationwide injunctions. This means that judges can generally stop policies from being enforced only against the parties to a lawsuit, instead of everyone in the nation.

    In rare instances, a panel of three District Court judges hears a case. Congress decides what cases these special three-judge panels hear, reserving them for especially important issues. For example, these panels have heard cases involving reapportionment, which is how votes are translated into legislative seats in Congress and state legislatures, and allegations that a voter’s rights have been violated.

    The logic behind having three judges hear such important cases is that they will give more careful consideration to the dispute. This may lend legitimacy to a controversial decision and prevents a single judge from exercising too much power.

    There are also specialized courts that hear cases involving particular policies, sometimes in panels of three judges. For instance, three-judge panels on the U.S. Court of International Trade decide cases involving executive orders related to international trade.

    The federal Court of Appeals

    The U.S. Court of Appeals hears appeals from the District Courts and specialized courts.

    The 13 federal circuit courts that make up the U.S. Court of Appeals are arranged throughout the country and handle about 40,000 cases per year. Each circuit court has six to 29 judges. Cases are decided primarily by three-judge panels.

    Having multiple judges decide cases on the Court of Appeals is seen as worthwhile, since these courts are policymaking institutions. This means they set precedents for the judicial circuit in which they operate, which covers three to nine states.

    Supporters of this system argue that by having multiple judges on appellate courts, the panel will consider a variety of perspectives on the case and collaborate with one another. This can lead to better decision-making. Additionally, having multiple judges check one another can boost public confidence in the judiciary.

    The party that loses a case before a three-judge panel can request that the entire circuit rehear the case. This is known as sitting en banc.

    Because judges on a circuit can decline to hear cases en banc, this procedure is usually reserved for especially significant cases. For instance, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has agreed to an en banc hearing to review the Court of International Trade’s decision to temporarily halt Trump’s sweeping tariff program. It also allowed the tariffs to remain in effect until the appeal plays out, likely in August.

    The exception to having the entire circuit sit together en banc is the 9th Circuit, based in San Francisco, which has 29 judges, far more than other circuit courts. It uses an 11-judge en banc process, since having 29 judges hear cases together would be logistically challenging.

    Cargo ships are seen at a container terminal in the Port of Shanghai, China, in May 2025. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of International Trade blocked Trump from imposing tariffs on China and other nations.

    The US Supreme Court

    The U.S. Supreme Court sits atop the American legal system and decides about 60 cases per year.

    Cases are decided by all nine justices, unless a justice declines to participate because of a conflict of interest. As with other multimember courts, advocates of the nine-member makeup argue that the quality of decision-making is improved by having many justices participate in a case’s deliberation.

    Each Supreme Court justice is charged with overseeing one or more of the 13 federal circuits. In this role, a single justice reviews emergency appeals from the District Courts and an appellate court within a circuit. This authorizes them to put a temporary hold on the implementation of policies within that circuit or refer the matter to the entire Supreme Court.

    In February, for example, Chief Justice John Roberts blocked a Court of Appeals order that would have compelled the Trump administration to pay nearly US$2 billion in reimbursements for already completed foreign aid work.

    In March, a 5-4 majority of the high court sent the case back to U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, who subsequently ordered the Trump administration to release some of the funds.

    The federal judicial system is complex. The flurry of executive orders from the Trump administration means that cases are being decided on a nearly daily basis by a variety of courts.

    A single judge will decide some of these cases, and others are considered by full courts. Though the nine justices of the Supreme Court technically have the final say, the sheer volume of legal challenges means that America’s District Courts and Court of Appeals will resolve many of the disputes.

  • MIL-OSI: 1-Hour Payday Loans with No Credit Check & Guaranteed Approval Announced as Key Feature in Wizzay’s Instant Loan Program for Bad Credit in 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    New York City, NY, July 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

    Wizzay has rolled out an efficient 1 hour payday loan product, providing instant access to emergency cash throughout the U.S. Built for speed and ease of use, the site fills the financial gaps of consumers whose purchases have been hit by inflation, unexpected expenses, or income shortfalls.

    In contrast to banks that demand forms and credit checks, Wizzay enables borrowers to apply online, get approved in seconds, and possibly access funds in one business day. The site connects consumers with licensed lenders — several of whom accept borrowers with low or no credit.

    The procedure is quick and discreet. A brief application gathers rudimentary information, and decisions are made on the basis of income verification as opposed to credit reports. This method makes Wizzay an available solution for individuals with bad credit who need immediate financial assistance.

    With the increasing cost of living, Wizzay’s 1 hour payday loans prove to be a convenient option for paying off unexpected bills, repairing the car, or renting. With the removal of conventional lending obstacles, Wizzay enables borrowers to receive money at short notice and with minimal hassle.

    Wizzay Introduces Rapid 1-Hour Payday Loan Access for Time-Sensitive Borrowers

    Financial pressure has fueled the need for fast, convenient, and easily accessible payday loans. Wizzay addresses this need by providing an online platform where a payday loan can be applied for and promptly decided by licensed lenders.

    These 1 hour payday loans are built for speed. Traditional lenders take days and perform hard credit checks, but Wizzay’s partners review applications on the basis of income and employment rather than credit history.

    Most qualified borrowers who pass simple requirements — such as consistent income and U.S. residency status — can expect loan approval within minutes and cash as early as the next business day, frequently through direct deposit.

    Wizzay’s entirely online process mirrors users’ desire for online and mobile financial services. For immediate users, it’s quicker than bank loans, credit cards, or overdrafts.

    Wizzay is not a lender but a loan-matching website that refers applicants to state-sanctioned, licensed lenders. This maintains legal soundness while providing access to instant no credit check payday loans when they are available.

    Key Features of Wizzay’s 1-Hour Payday Loans with No Credit Check

    Wizzay has an optimized process designed for speed and ease. These are the top advantages of using this portal:

    • Instant Approval: Your request is processed by automated systems within minutes.
    • No Credit Check: Only a soft check is performed, which will not affect your FICO score.
    • Direct Lender Access: Only you and the authenticated lenders will interface with no third-party delays or brokers.
    • Mobile Friendly: Complete the application, e-sign, and check the status of your loan on any smartphone or tablet.

    This format provides quick funding, which makes Wizzay a reliable option for sudden financial needs.

    <<< Understand your short-term loan options without added pressure >>>

    How the 1-Hour Loan Process Works on Wizzay’s Platform

    Here’s a brief guide on how the Wizzay loan process works:

    • Submit Your Online Application – This takes around 2–3 minutes.
    • Soft Credit Check – Utilized to evaluate eligibility, not affecting your credit score.
    • Lender Match and Approval – The approval outcome is back in less than one hour.
    • E-Signature & Funding – View terms, sign electronically, and receive funds directly into your account the same day.

    This process is streamlined to cut down on delays while keeping borrowers involved at all times.

    Understanding Same-Day Payday Loan Options Through Wizzay

    Wizzay’s interface offers same day pay day loan access to borrowers who are qualified. Although same-day funding is not guaranteed to all users, the system prioritizes quick loan processing for those who qualify.

    Considerations for same day loans are:

    • Eligibility: Borrowers are required to qualify with lender-specific requirements like verified income, U.S. residence, and checking account activity status.
    • Timing: Earlier-in-the-day submitted applications are more likely to be funded the same day. Lender processing times differ by state.
    • Loan Amounts: Most of the lenders will allow lending amounts from $100 to $1,000. Personal lending limits will really depend on the jurisdiction.
    • Approval Process: Time is of the essence! Soft credit inquiries documents sent electronically with no collateral means the lender will be able to get back to you quickly.
    • Online No Credit Check Access: These loans are handled all online, and most involve no standard credit checks.

    Compared to bank loans the old-fashioned way — which can take days or weeks — Wizzay’s same day loans online help borrowers with a quicker response to their needs for immediate cash.

    Inside Wizzay’s Same-Day Online Payday Loan Offering

    Wizzay’s online same day payday loans product indicates a trend toward speed and digitalization within the industry. Most sites engage in manual verification and hold up disbursal, while Wizzay connects borrowers with lenders that have automated underwriting powers.

    These loans work through:

    • Fully Digital Processing
    • Credit Score Flexibility
    • Guaranteed Approval Caution
    • Online Same Day No Credit Impact
    • Real-Time Approval Decisions

    This process minimizes human intervention and provides emergency funding more conveniently to people who might not otherwise qualify through conventional means.

    Guaranteed $100 Loan No Credit Check via Wizzay: What’s Realistic?

    One of the most popular requests borrowers make is for a guaranteed $100 loan with no credit check. Although the term “guaranteed” is loosely used, Wizzay’s system does improve the odds of approval for eligible borrowers — particularly for smaller loan amounts like $100.

    Here’s why:

    • $100 Loan Minimums: Most lenders on the platform provide microloans starting at $100. These are generally the least difficult to qualify for.
    • No Hard Credit Check: There isn’t a full credit report pulled out, which decreases the risks of rejection for low-credit applicants.
    • Income First Verification: Lenders prefer stable income and regular banking history to FICO scores.
    • Loan Approval: No loan is guaranteed in general, but the platform allows applicants to be matched to lenders who have high approval rates.

    For bad credit or no credit borrowers, this type of short-term lending provides a ready substitute for mainstream financial institutions, where such amounts are not usually extended.

    Wizzay’s Function as a Direct Lender Connector for Payday Loans

    Wizzay acts as an intermediary linking borrowers to certified direct lenders — positioning it apart from third-party aggregators or unregulated loan marketplaces.

    The distinguishing characteristics of its connector model are:

    • Loan No Credit Check Direct Access
    • Regulatory Compliance
    • No Broker Fees
    • Credit Check from Direct Lenders Only
    • Loan Term Disclosure

    Such a direct path ensures transparency, compliance, and improved results for borrowers looking for quick, responsible payday loan alternatives.

    Emergency Payday Loan Solutions via Wizzay’s Fast Online Application Model

    Wizzay also offers prompt cash access for immediate expenses such as doctor’s bills, auto repairs, or unexpected utility shutoffs. The system is designed to give you access to money 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (also on holidays and weekends), allowing borrowers to address emergencies and immediate urgent expenses without worry. The application to the funding process can take as little as 1-3 hours, depending upon your bank processing time.

    Wizzay Offers Payday Loans for Bad Credit With Fast Approvals

    Wizzay is designed to support borrowers with poor credit using soft credit checks and alternative eligibility factors. This makes it possible to introduce borrowers with restricted credit, charge-offs in the past, or recent hardship into the system. Matching users they then can see loan details without a commitment, meaning they have full control over their financial choices.

    Setting Realistic Expectations with Wizzay’s Guaranteed Loan Approval in 1 Hour

    Although Wizzay facilitates quick loan processing, the phrase “guaranteed approval in 1 hour” must be read carefully. The platform facilitates quick matching and immediate decisions, but final approval is subject to lender requirements.

    However, for successful applicants, Wizzay frequently provides:

    • 1 Hour Payday Loan Matching
    • Same Day Approval Potential
    • Guaranteed Approval Terms
    • 1 Hour Loan Online Instant Decisioning

    This feature supports realistic expectations for urgent users while emphasizing the platform’s effectiveness in matching borrowers with instant lending decisions.

    Online Payday Loans From Wizzay: A Digital Alternative to Traditional Lending

    Wizzay’s digital-only model eliminates the friction in traditional storefront lending. Everything from application to payment is done online. No paperwork is required, no visits necessary, and no faxing. Borrowers can fill out their requests, confirm employment electronically, and sign documents via their smartphone, making it a quicker and more convenient lending option.

    Direct Lender Payday Loans from Wizzay: No Third Parties, More Clarity

    Wizzay’s marketplace stands out by connecting borrowers solely with direct lenders — without third-party resellers or lead generators. This direct strategy reduces unnecessary handling of data, incurs fewer costs, and fosters borrower-lender transparency.

    The benefits of this model are:

    • Secure Handling of Data
    • No Brokerage Fees
    • Transparency of Clear Terms from the Lenders
    • Less Risk of Misinformation

    Borrowers who prefer dealing directly with financial institutions — instead of opaque third-party networks — might find Wizzay’s direct-lender model more reliable and easier to use.

    Wizzay Introduces Rapid 1-Hour Payday Loan Access for Time-Sensitive Borrowers

    Financial pressure has fueled the need for fast, convenient, and easily accessible payday loans. Wizzay addresses this need by providing an online platform where a payday loan can be applied for and promptly decided by licensed lenders.

    These 1 hour payday loans are built for speed. Traditional lenders take days and perform hard credit checks, but Wizzay’s partners review applications on the basis of income and employment rather than credit history.

    Most qualified borrowers who pass simple requirements — such as consistent income and U.S. residency status — can expect loan approval within minutes and cash as early as the next business day, frequently through direct deposit.

    Wizzay’s entirely online process mirrors users’ desire for online and mobile financial services. For immediate users, it’s quicker than bank loans, credit cards, or overdrafts.

    Wizzay is not a lender but a loan-matching website that refers applicants to state-sanctioned, licensed lenders. This maintains legal soundness while providing access to instant no credit check payday loans when they are available.

    Key Features of Wizzay’s 1-Hour Payday Loans with No Credit Check

    Wizzay has an optimized process designed for speed and ease. These are the top advantages of using this portal:

    • Instant Approval: Your request is processed by automated systems within minutes.
    • No Credit Check: Only a soft check is performed, which will not affect your FICO score.
    • Direct Lender Access: Only you and the authenticated lenders will interface with no third-party delays or brokers.
    • Mobile Friendly: Complete the application, e-sign, and check the status of your loan on any smartphone or tablet.

    This format provides quick funding, which makes Wizzay a reliable option for sudden financial needs.

    How the 1-Hour Loan Process Works on Wizzay’s Platform

    Here’s a brief guide on how the Wizzay loan process works:

    • Submit Your Online Application – This takes around 2–3 minutes.
    • Soft Credit Check – Utilized to evaluate eligibility, not affecting your credit score.
    • Lender Match and Approval – The approval outcome is back in less than one hour.
    • E-Signature & Funding – View terms, sign electronically, and receive funds directly into your account the same day.

    This process is streamlined to cut down on delays while keeping borrowers involved at all times.

    Understanding Same-Day Payday Loan Options Through Wizzay

    Wizzay’s interface offers same day pay day loan access to borrowers who are qualified. Although same-day funding is not guaranteed to all users, the system prioritizes quick loan processing for those who qualify.

    Considerations for same day loans are:

    • Eligibility: Borrowers are required to qualify with lender-specific requirements like verified income, U.S. residence, and checking account activity status.
    • Timing: Earlier-in-the-day submitted applications are more likely to be funded the same day. Lender processing times differ by state.
    • Loan Amounts: Most of the lenders will allow lending amounts from $100 to $1,000. Personal lending limits will really depend on the jurisdiction.
    • Approval Process: Time is of the essence! Soft credit inquiries documents sent electronically with no collateral means the lender will be able to get back to you quickly.
    • Online No Credit Check Access: These loans are handled all online, and most involve no standard credit checks.

    Compared to bank loans the old-fashioned way — which can take days or weeks — Wizzay’s same day loans online help borrowers with a quicker response to their needs for immediate cash.

    Inside Wizzay’s Same-Day Online Payday Loan Offering

    Wizzay’s online same day payday loans product indicates a trend toward speed and digitalization within the industry. Most sites engage in manual verification and hold up disbursal, while Wizzay connects borrowers with lenders that have automated underwriting powers.

    These loans work through:

    • Fully Digital Processing
    • Credit Score Flexibility
    • Guaranteed Approval Caution
    • Online Same Day No Credit Impact
    • Real-Time Approval Decisions

    This process minimizes human intervention and provides emergency funding more conveniently to people who might not otherwise qualify through conventional means.

    Guaranteed $100 Loan No Credit Check via Wizzay: What’s Realistic?

    One of the most popular requests borrowers make is for a guaranteed $100 loan with no credit check. Although the term “guaranteed” is loosely used, Wizzay’s system does improve the odds of approval for eligible borrowers — particularly for smaller loan amounts like $100.

    Here’s why:

    • $100 Loan Minimums: Most lenders on the platform provide microloans starting at $100. These are generally the least difficult to qualify for.
    • No Hard Credit Check: There isn’t a full credit report pulled out, which decreases the risks of rejection for low-credit applicants.
    • Income First Verification: Lenders prefer stable income and regular banking history to FICO scores.
    • Loan Approval: No loan is guaranteed in general, but the platform allows applicants to be matched to lenders who have high approval rates.

    For bad credit or no credit borrowers, this type of short-term lending provides a ready substitute for mainstream financial institutions, where such amounts are not usually extended.

    Wizzay’s Function as a Direct Lender Connector for Payday Loans

    Wizzay acts as an intermediary linking borrowers to certified direct lenders — positioning it apart from third-party aggregators or unregulated loan marketplaces.

    The distinguishing characteristics of its connector model are:

    • Loan No Credit Check Direct Access
    • Regulatory Compliance
    • No Broker Fees
    • Credit Check from Direct Lenders Only
    • Loan Term Disclosure

    Such a direct path ensures transparency, compliance, and improved results for borrowers looking for quick, responsible payday loan alternatives.

    Emergency Payday Loan Solutions via Wizzay’s Fast Online Application Model

    Wizzay also offers prompt cash access for immediate expenses such as doctor’s bills, auto repairs, or unexpected utility shutoffs. The system is designed to give you access to money 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (also on holidays and weekends), allowing borrowers to address emergencies and immediate urgent expenses without worry. The application to the funding process can take as little as 1-3 hours, depending upon your bank processing time.

    Wizzay Offers Payday Loans for Bad Credit With Fast Approvals

    Wizzay is designed to support borrowers with poor credit using soft credit checks and alternative eligibility factors. This makes it possible to introduce borrowers with restricted credit, charge-offs in the past, or recent hardship into the system. Matching users they then can see loan details without a commitment, meaning they have full control over their financial choices.

    Setting Realistic Expectations with Wizzay’s Guaranteed Loan Approval in 1 Hour

    Although Wizzay facilitates quick loan processing, the phrase “guaranteed approval in 1 hour” must be read carefully. The platform facilitates quick matching and immediate decisions, but final approval is subject to lender requirements.

    However, for successful applicants, Wizzay frequently provides:

    • 1 Hour Payday Loan Matching
    • Same Day Approval Potential
    • Guaranteed Approval Terms
    • 1 Hour Loan Online Instant Decisioning

    This feature supports realistic expectations for urgent users while emphasizing the platform’s effectiveness in matching borrowers with instant lending decisions.

    Online Payday Loans From Wizzay: A Digital Alternative to Traditional Lending

    Wizzay’s digital-only model eliminates the friction in traditional storefront lending. Everything from application to payment is done online. No paperwork is required, no visits necessary, and no faxing. Borrowers can fill out their requests, confirm employment electronically, and sign documents via their smartphone, making it a quicker and more convenient lending option.

    Direct Lender Payday Loans from Wizzay: No Third Parties, More Clarity

    Wizzay’s marketplace stands out by connecting borrowers solely with direct lenders — without third-party resellers or lead generators. This direct strategy reduces unnecessary handling of data, incurs fewer costs, and fosters borrower-lender transparency.

    The benefits of this model are:

    • Secure Handling of Data
    • No Brokerage Fees
    • Transparency of Clear Terms from the Lenders
    • Less Risk of Misinformation

    Borrowers who prefer dealing directly with financial institutions — instead of opaque third-party networks — might find Wizzay’s direct-lender model more reliable and easier to use.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Malawi’s Mining Minister to Speak at African Mining Week (AMW) as Global Investor Interest in Country Surges

    Source: APO – Report:

    .

    Malawi’s Minister of Mining, Ken Zikhale Reeves Ng’oma, has confirmed his participation as a speaker at the upcoming African Mining Week (AMW) 2025, Africa’s premier gathering for mining stakeholders. Minister Ng’oma will feature in the Ministerial Forum, showcasing policy frameworks and investment incentives aimed at accelerating mineral exploration, production and beneficiation in Malawi and across the continent.

    Malawi – under the leadership of Minister Ng’oma – is attracting attention from major investors targeting its rare earths, uranium, titanium, graphite and downstream value chains. In June, Minister Ng’oma signed a $7 billion deal with China’s Hunan Sunwalk, marking the largest-ever foreign investment in the country’s mining sector. The deal covers the development of titanium extraction and processing facilities in Salima, alongside major commitments to skills development, technology transfer and community investment. The country also secured $5 billion at China’s Xidian International Stock Exchange to develop a Special Economic Zone in Chipoka. Up to $1 billion worth of mining, infrastructure and agri-industrial projects will be deployed within the first year as part of the deal. The China-Africa Cooperation on Critical Minerals Roundtable at AMW provides an ideal platform for Minister Ng’oma to forge new investment partnerships with Chinese investors.

    African Mining Week serves as a premier platform for exploring the full spectrum of mining opportunities across Africa. The event is held alongside the African Energy Week: Invest in African Energies 2025 conference from October 1-3 in Cape Town. Sponsors, exhibitors and delegates can learn more by contacting sales@energycapitalpower.com.

    In addition to Chinese investors, major financial institutions across the globe are also supporting cornerstone projects. Malawi’s Ecobank has proposed a $30 million loan, the European Investment Bank a $40 million facility and Gerald Group a $50 million loan to fund the Kangankunde Rare Earths Project. Operated by Australia’s Lindian Resources, the project will be one of the world’s largest rare earths production facilities once operational in 2026.

    In the uranium sector, Lotus Resources secured $38.5 million from South African banks First Capital Bank and Standard Bank to advance the Kayelekera Uranium Project, with first production scheduled for Q3 2025. Additionally, Sovereign Metals raised $40 million in March to support the Kasiya Rutile-Graphite Project, home to the world’s largest known rutile deposit and second-largest graphite reserve. With projected annual outputs of 245,000 tons of rutile and 288,000 tons of graphite over 25 years, the project will position Malawi as a major player in global critical minerals supply.

    Amid this surge in investment, Malawi’s mining sector has the potential to generate up to $30 billion in mineral exports between 2026 and 2040. Against this backdrop, AMW 2025 provides a timely platform for Minister Ng’oma to engage global investors, spotlight Malawi’s growing mining sector and drive new partnerships. Held under the theme From Extraction to Beneficiation: Unlocking Africa’s Mineral Wealth, AMW will feature high-level panel discussions and strategic project showcases amplifying Malawi’s role in the continent’s mining future.

    TEHRAN, July 8 (Xinhua) — Iran has not requested any meetings with the United States, the Islamic Republic’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said on Tuesday, as quoted by the Tasnim news agency.

    This is how the diplomat responded to the words of US President Donald Trump, who said the day before that Iran had asked for a meeting.

    Speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump said the United States was ready to negotiate with Iran. “We have a meeting scheduled with Iran, and they want to talk,” he said. “They have requested a meeting, and I am going to attend. If we can put something on paper, that would be good,” the president added.

    From April 12 to May 23, Iran and the United States held five rounds of indirect talks on Tehran’s nuclear program and the lifting of American sanctions. They were mediated by Oman.

    Two days before the sixth round, scheduled for June 15 in the Omani capital Muscat, Israel launched massive airstrikes on a number of Iranian sites, including nuclear and military facilities, killing senior commanders, nuclear scientists and scores of civilians. Tehran responded with a series of missile and drone strikes on Israel.

    On June 22, the United States struck three Iranian nuclear facilities: Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. Iran later attacked the U.S. Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.

    On June 24, after 12 days of fighting, Iran and Israel reached a ceasefire agreement. –0–

    CHANGSHA, July 8 (Xinhua) — Wang Yong, former vice chairman of the people’s government of southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region, was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve on Tuesday for accepting bribes.

    The verdict was handed down by the Intermediate People’s Court of Chenzhou City, Hunan Province, central China. His case was heard in open court on May 15 this year.

    According to the verdict, Wang Yong, also a former member of the SAR government’s leadership group, was deprived of political rights for life and all his personal property will be confiscated in favor of the state.

    The court found that from 2007 to 2023, Wang Yong, in various positions, abused his official powers to assist other organizations and individuals in winning contracts for contracting projects, thereby illegally enriching himself in the total amount of more than 271 million yuan (about 37.9 million US dollars).

    The court ruled that Wang Yun’s crimes had caused serious harm to the interests of the state and the people. Meanwhile, based on the fact that the defendant admitted his guilt and repented of his actions, and also assisted in the return of illegally obtained funds, his sentence was reduced. -0-
