    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Moscow Zoo will take part in the “Night at the Museum” event, which is being organized by the capital’s Department of Culture. For the first time in the history of the zoo, a night interactive exhibition-show “Shadows of Unforgotten Ancestors” will be held. It can be visited free of charge upon prior registration on the night of May 17-18, from 23:00 to 02:00. Exhibition tours will be hosted by singer, musician, showman and popular TV presenter Vyacheslav Makarov.

    Visitors will enjoy a night walk through the Old Zoo area, a story about extinct and endangered animals, a light show and 3D projections that will “revive” historical species: the dodo, woolly rhinoceros, saber-toothed tiger, cave bear, mammoth and giant megalonyx. In addition, guests will see images of animals that are now especially vulnerable: the Amur tiger, Steller’s sea eagle, polar bear, gorilla, Far Eastern leopard, Grevy’s zebra, walrus, giant panda, fish owl, takin and others.

    Participants in the immersive part of the program will remove “traces of fuel oil” by stepping on them on a special luminous arch. In the LED screen area, they will show how human interaction with nature can have a positive effect on it and create favorable conditions for animals. The screen will broadcast figures-patterns in the form of various natural elements. As visitors approach the screen, the pattern will gather into silhouettes of different animals, and as they move away, it will again evenly fill the surface. The content corresponds to different elements and natural zones: grasses, trees and flowers, sea shells and corals, snowflakes. Forest animals will appear from flowers, sea creatures from shells, and northern animals from snowflakes.

    During the “Night at the Museum” event, from 19:00 to 22:00, you can visit the zoo history museum. Admission is free, with a ticket to the zoo. There will be an exhibition “The Museum of Gems visiting the Moscow Zoo”, which will present fragments of a mammoth skeleton, the skulls of a woolly rhinoceros and bison, minerals that replaced ancient ammonite shells, trunks of araucaria and other paleontological exhibits.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Sobyanin: Moscow doctors have access to more than 130 advanced training programs

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    Moscow will continue to develop the human resources potential of the capital’s healthcare system. This will ensure high standards of quality of medical care for city residents. Sergei Sobyanin spoke about this in his telegram channel.

    “Last year, over 160 thousand students from among doctors and mid-level medical personnel underwent training and advanced training. In 2025, the same number of specialists may take part in various educational programs. The central platform was

    Personnel Center of the Moscow Department of Health“, the Mayor of Moscow wrote.

    Source: Sergei Sobyanin’s Telegram channel @mos_sobyanin 

    In 2024, 115 thousand people were trained at the Personnel Center of the Moscow City Health Department – more than 70 percent of the number of doctors who improved their qualifications.

    Training courses in all areas

    The Personnel Center of the Moscow City Health Department was opened in 2021 at 8 Uspensky Lane. It assesses the knowledge and skills of doctors when applying for jobs in city medical institutions to determine their further individual development trajectory, conducts primary specialized accreditation and certification to obtain a qualification category; obtains the status of “Moscow doctor”, “Moscow nurse” and “Moscow medical brother”.

    The most important area of work of the Personnel Center is the organization of training and advanced training of medical personnel.

    “Since its opening, more than 90 trainings and over 130 educational programs have been created and implemented. They cover dozens of areas – from oncology and cardiology to effective communication with patients, help the capital’s medical workers improve teamwork, master modern technologies and new standards,” said Sergei Sobyanin.

    New methods and technologies are constantly emerging in the healthcare sector, and the center’s educational programs help doctors master them in practice. Healthcare workers are helped to determine an individual development trajectory, choose a program for acquiring new knowledge and skills, and then practice them on various simulators and training devices.

    More than 1,100 units of the latest equipment allow conducting training courses in almost all areas of modern medicine. The simulators installed in the Personnel Center reproduce the anatomy of internal organs to the smallest detail and imitate the main functions of the body as realistically as possible: breathing, convulsions, body temperature, heart sounds, lung sounds, and others.

    The main forms of training are interactive: problem lectures, group discussions, brainstorming, analysis of situational tasks. A separate block is devoted to the development of social, psychological and management skills necessary in medical practice. Healthcare workers learn how to avoid emotional burnout, manage stress, and effectively communicate with each other and with patients.

    About 30 thousand specialists have become participants of the trainings and educational programs “Digital Hospital”. They form practical skills in using new digital tools for doctors and nursing staff of city hospitals.

    Gain new knowledge and improve communication with patients

    One of the most popular trainings was “Algorithm for conducting outpatient appointments: aspects of communication with patients”, aimed at doctors being able to improve their communication skills and use their appointment time as efficiently as possible. About 12 thousand specialists were trained in it.

    As part of the implementation of the new emergency care standard, the Personnel Center developed 60 educational programs and trainings for the staff of flagship centers and emergency departments of city hospitals. More than 10 thousand doctors working according to this emergency care standard have already improved their knowledge and skills in the field of diagnostics and treatment of injuries, burns, frostbite, poisoning, exacerbations of chronic diseases, including those threatening the patient’s life.

    About four thousand people took part in the training dedicated to the creation of a value-oriented environment in city polyclinics in accordance with the new Moscow polyclinic standard. This is about introducing such concepts as patient-focusedness, trust, respect, teamwork, goodwill, etc. into the daily practice of medical workers.

    In addition, advanced training and retraining of Moscow doctors is carried out in leading specialized universities: the Russian Medical Academy of Continuous Postgraduate Education, the First Moscow State Medical University named after I.M. Sechenov, the Russian National Research Medical University named after N.I. Pirogov, the Russian University of Medicine. Popular educational sites are the medical simulation center Moscow Multidisciplinary Scientific and Clinical Center named after S.P. Botkin, training centers of the Scientific and Practical Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine Technologies and A.S. Puchkov Emergency and Urgent Medical Care Stations, Interdisciplinary training center for innovative surgical technologies of the City Clinical Hospital No. 67 named after L.A. Vorokhobov.

    Distance learning within the framework of the continuous medical and pharmaceutical education program is available to specialists at federal portal.

  • MIL-OSI China: China’s highest city sets new green milestones

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    Nagqu, China’s highest city at an average elevation of over 4,500 meters, has achieved the seemingly unachievable: it is no longer “the city without trees.”

    Once a barren landscape where even survival was a challenge, this northern Xizang city has rewritten its ecological destiny through decades of perseverance, marking a historic breakthrough in high-altitude afforestation.

    Perched on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Nagqu was officially reclassified as a city in May 2018. Its thin air, with oxygen levels just half those at sea level, and relentless winds have made it a place where boiling water barely reaches 85 degrees Celsius and packaged goods swell as if ready to burst.

    For many years, the absence of trees was a defining feature, so much so that award-winning female author Ma Lihua once wrote in her travel notes that “Nagqu Town has everything, except a tree.”

    Now, parks and sidewalks across Nagqu are dotted with alpine willow, spruce and sea buckthorn — a testament to a quiet revolution. On the city streets, billboards reading “promote high-altitude greening, erase Nagqu’s treeless legacy” proclaim this remarkable transformation.

    “Nagqu has achieved China’s highest-altitude success in tree planting,” said Cewang Rigzin, director of the city’s forestry and grassland bureau. Since 2021, the city has invested heavily in afforestation, forest management, and experimental planting in high-elevation urban areas.

    “When I was a child, I could only see green trees on TV or in photos. Now, we’ve successfully trialed tree planting in urban areas, with a survival rate of over 80 percent,” said Dainzin Puncog with the bureau, a native of Nagqu.

    The trial planting of trees in Nagqu’s high-altitude, frigid plateau began in the 1990s. Generations of local families and officials have poured efforts into this achievement, turning what once seemed a fanciful idea into reality.

    Support Taiwan’s participation in the WHO and welcome the Fu Jen Catholic University delegation
    Organizers Jennifer Lee and Kathy Sieh, representing the Taiwanese community, urged that the WHO should not be influenced by political pressure and ignore the human rights of Taiwan’s 23 million people. They emphasized that viruses know no borders, and the WHO should promptly include Taiwan.
    Director General David Cheng-Wei Wu stressed that Taiwan has been prevented from participating in WHO due to China’s continued distortion of UNGA Resolution 2758 and WHA Resolution 25.1. Neither of them mentions Taiwan is part of the PRC. These resolutions have no power to confer upon the PRC any right to represent Taiwan in WHO. So we must urge WHO and all relevant parties to recognize Taiwan’s contributions to global public health. Taiwan should be included in the WHA and all WHO meetings.
    The Hon. Jacqui Munro MLC praised Taiwan’s achievement on economic development and medical capabilities and mentioned that Australian Parliament and NSW Parliament passed motions to refute China’s misinterpretation of UNGA 2758. Taiwan should be included in the WHO and work together to make the world stronger and better.
    Councilor Michelle Chuang of Willoughby City Council also reaffirm the vital truth: global health knows no border and the health security of people in Taiwan— and the wider world—should never be a matter of diplomatic bargaining.
    There was the keynote speech of Ms LIN,Yu-wen, Associate Dean, College of Medicine of FJCU. She shared her thoughts of why Taiwan should play a crucial role in the WHO. It was followed by President of FJCU Prof. Francis Yi-chen LAN’s presentation about school’s GRACE strategy and vision.
    It is much appreciated to see nearly 100 guests turn up to speak up and support Taiwan’s bid to participate in the WHO.

    A year on from the fatal shooting of a man in Lambeth, detectives have announced a £20,000 reward as they seek justice for his bereaved family.

    Detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime have been leading the investigation into the murder of 26-year-old Jazmel Patterson-Low over the past year.

    They hope the offer of this substantial reward will encourage anyone with information to come forward.

    Detective Inspector Martin Thorpe said: “It has been a year since the death of Jazmel and we are still actively searching for those involved.

    “We want to know what happened that morning on St Rule Street SW8. We know there was a group of around 40 people gathered there on Friday evening and into the early hours of Saturday morning. If you were there, then you may have crucial information for us.

    “I am grateful to those who have come forward already, however we still need more from the public. This is why we are now offering a reward of up to £20,000 for information that leads to the successful charge and conviction of the person responsible.

    “Think back to last May, did you witness what happened to Jazmel? Do you know who fired the gun? Did you see anyone running from the St Rule Street area? If you know what happened, then you need to speak to us.

    “We will support you throughout, you can also contact Crimestoppers to remain anonymous and your identity will be protected. Alliances change over time, so please do the right thing by coming forward.”

    On Saturday, 11 May 2024, police were called by medical staff at 02:30hrs to St Thomas’ Hospital after a man was dropped off in a private car, suffering from a gunshot injury.

    Despite the best efforts of medical staff, Jazmel, who lived in Lambeth, sadly died shortly after 03:00hrs.

    Jazmel was shot at around 02:25hrs that morning on the Westbury Estate in St Rule Street. A post-mortem examination gave cause of death as a single gunshot wound. Jazmel’s family continue to receive support from specially trained officers

    A 25-year-old man was arrested in south London in the early hours of Tuesday, 14 May 2024 on suspicion of murder. He was taken into custody but subsequently released without charge.

    Philippe Salle, Atos Group Chairman and CEO, says: “Atos Group is at an exciting inflexion point. With the Group’s financial structure now secure, our “Genesis” strategic and transformation plan will ensure that we strengthen our position as a global leader in cutting-edge technology solutions and deliver appreciable growth in revenue and profitability over the next four years.

    “There are very few companies in the world that can provide true end-to-end digital solutions for clients, at scale, in some of our most challenging and complex industries. Atos Group is one of them. Our competitive advantage lies in our highly skilled and committed colleagues, the depth of our technical expertise, our global capability with deep local roots, and our proven track record of delivery to a worldwide loyal customer base. We fully intend to leverage this advantage over the coming years and thereby deliver significant, growing value for our shareholders, clients and employees.”
    Streamlined and refocused Group with a clear plan for growth

    At the heart of this strategy is the repositioning of Atos Group as a global AI-powered technology partner delivering secure end-to-end digital journeys for its clients, through:

    • A simplified structure: transforming Atos portfolio of assets to a unified Group with two clear brands focused on high-growth and high-impact activities:

    Atos, a services business organized around six business lines:

    • Cloud & Modern Infrastructure – Covering the full cloud spectrum, from design to build to run, with expertise spanning hybrid, multi-cloud, infrastructure modernization, and FinOps-enabled delivery
    • Cyber Services – Delivering end-to-end security, from advisory, testing and compliance to Managed Detection & Response (MDR), OT security, and identity management
    • Data & AI (newly created) – Powering transformation through data enablement, AI development, AI-run (MLOps) and GenAI integration into operations and offerings
    • Digital Applications – Providing custom app design, development, modernization, and next-gen Application Managed Services (AI-powered, observable, secure-by-design)
    • Smart Platforms – Driving digital design, transformation and management services on key enterprise platforms including SAP and ServiceNow
    • Digital Workplace – Enabling secure, accessible, AI-powered workplace experiences aligned with employee engagement, accessibility and ESG priorities

    Eviden, a product business organized around four product lines: Cybersecurity products, Advanced Computing, Mission-Critical Systems and Vision AI.

    • A focused global footprint, anchored in strong local businesses: a key element of Atos Group’s transformation plan is the streamlining of its global network, to refocus on its most profitable and highest-growth territories.
      Atos Group will now operate from six regional hubs where it already has a strong and growing presence: France; Germany, Austria & Eastern Europe; Belux & Netherlands & Nordics; United Kingdom & Ireland; North America; and International Markets. In due course it will exit several non-core countries which do not meet its strategic or financial objectives, mainly within International Markets.
    • A simplified governance: defining clear accountability and ownership between the business lines, the geographies and a lean corporate structure and allowing for increased transparency and teams empowerment.

    Strengthened leadership team and operating model

    A new Leadership team has been appointed to drive the Group’s transformation plan, comprising the Heads of the Atos six business lines and Global Delivery Centers, the six regional Leaders, the Heads of Eviden and Advanced Computing, and the Heads of Group functions. They are supported by a highly skilled workforce, with a record of over 90 per cent retention on key talents, which has achieved more than 250,000 digital accreditations over the past three years, primarily in Cybersecurity, Cloud and AI.

    Building on Atos’ recognized core strengths in Infrastructure, Workplace and Digital with rapidly scaling technology services as ‘strategic boosters’, including Advanced Cybersecurity, Data and AI, the Group will target significant incremental income from its current customer base, coupled with sizeable new business revenue streams and accelerated growth from new product and industry offerings.

    Leaner cost base

    The Group has defined and started to implement a cost reduction program to adapt its cost structure to its current size and reflect the new organization and more efficient operating model. It will optimize service delivery through enhanced billability and bench management, increased offshoring, industrialized execution model and stricter contract management. It also plans to reduce G&A to around five per cent of revenues by 2028, implying a 2-points reduction compared to the current level, through headcount reduction and 10% lower discretionary spend.

    AI-powered organization

    With creation of a business line dedicated to Data and AI, Atos Group will fully leverage its expertise to deliver improved, higher-value offerings to clients through a full-stack data and AI engine industrialized for scale, while achieving higher delivery efficiency and lower costs within the Group. The business line will be a key growth driver, growing from 2,000 to 10,000 employees by 2028 and at the scale of the Group, 100 per cent of the workforce will be AI-certified by 2026.

    Committed investment in innovation

    To secure its leading position in future growth markets, Atos Group plans to invest €500 million in research & development over next 4 years and €100 million in start-ups and new ecosystem players, with the emphasis on emerging technologies and rapidly scaling technology services, including GenAI and Agentic AI, Cybersecurity and Quantum, under the leadership of an upcoming new Group CTO.

    Update on ongoing disposal processes

    On November 25, 2024, Atos announced that it has received a non-binding offer from the French State for the potential acquisition of 100% of the Advanced Computing activities, based on an enterprise value of €500 million, to be potentially increased to €625 million including earn-outs. The offer received from the French State provides for an exclusivity period until May 31, 2025. Discussions are still ongoing.

    In addition, the sale process for its Mission Critical Systems and Cybersecurity Products businesses has been put on hold.

    Sustainable financial structure and clear financial trajectory

    At the occasion of its Capital Markets Day held today, Atos Group announces an update of its strategy and organization. Building on its strengthened leadership team and following the closing of its financial restructuring at the end of 2024, the Atos Group also provides a guidance for 20251 and indications on its mid-term financial trajectory.

    In 2025, the Group expects to generate:

    • c.8.5 billion euros revenue, down from reported revenues of 9.6 billion euros in 2024 due to perimeter changes, voluntary contract reviews and low business traction prior to the completion of the financial restructuring
    • around 4% operating margin, up c.2pp from FY 2024, benefiting from voluntary contract reviews and the initial impact of cost reduction initiatives
    • net change in cash before debt repayment of c. -350 million euros

    In 2026, the Group expects to generate positive organic growth and net change in cash before debt repayment and M&A.

    In 2028, taking the assumption of a disposal of Advanced Computing and a progressive reduction of its geographic footprint, the Group expects:

    • to grow revenues organically to 8.5 to 9 billion euros, representing a 5-7% CAGR between 2025 and 2028. Strategic, targeted and disciplined M&A could further increase revenue to up to 9 to 10 billion euros;
    • to reach operating margin of around 10 per cent with full benefit of the cost reduction initiatives and structurally profitable growth, partially offset by accelerated investment in R&D;
    • to achieve a leverage ratio below 1.5x net debt/OMDAL2. On the path to an investment grade rating, the Group expects to achieve a BB profile in 2027.

    Following the financial restructuring last year, Atos Group now has a strong liquidity3 position of c.2 billion euros at March 31, 2025, with no debt maturing before end of 2029. This secures its balance sheet and provides with the time and flexibility necessary to deliver its strategy, which is expected to enable significant deleveraging.

    Disciplined capital allocation

    Strong cumulative cashflow generated over the period will be allocated as a priority to deleveraging, coupled with targeted strategic and disciplined acquisitions and ventures. No dividend payment or share-buyback programs are expected before 2028.

    Reinforced commitment to sustainability

    Atos Group reaffirms its commitment to ESG leadership as a core pillar of its transformation and strategic journey. The Group remains on track to reach Net Zero Target by 2050, aligned with SBTi, while helping clients decarbonize. It is also accelerating progress on diversity, advancing digital inclusion initiatives globally and targeting 40 per cent female new hires by end-2025. Governance has been reinforced under new leadership, with stronger oversight of ESG. These efforts have earned Atos top-tier ESG ratings, including EcoVadis Platinum and inclusion in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook.

    BERLIN, May 14 (Xinhua) — United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres here on Tuesday stressed the important role of UN peacekeeping operations and called on member countries to provide them with additional support.

    Speaking at the 2025 UN Ministerial Meeting on Peacekeeping, he noted that peacekeeping operations help many states and are “the most widely recognized symbol on the planet of the world’s ability to come together to help countries move from conflict to peace.”

    The Secretary General also said that over the past decades, 4,400 peacekeepers have died in the line of duty.

    A. Guterres pointed to the challenges of modern peacekeeping, including complex conflicts, growing global divisions, disinformation, terrorism and transnational crime.

    “We are now facing the highest number of conflicts since the founding of the UN and record numbers of people fleeing across borders in search of safety and refuge,” the head of the world organization said.

    He called for work to make peacekeeping operations more adaptive, flexible and resilient, adding that peacekeeping can only be successful with credible mandates and clear, predictable and continuous contributions.

    Representatives from some 130 countries are discussing the future of peacekeeping at the current two-day meeting. –0–

    Justice Bhushan Ramkrishna Gavai is set to be sworn in on Wednesday as the 52nd Chief Justice of India (CJI), succeeding Justice Sanjiv Khanna, who retired on Tuesday after a six-month tenure.

    The swearing-in ceremony will take place at Rashtrapati Bhavan, where President Droupadi Murmu will administer the oath of office to Justice Gavai.

    With his elevation, Justice Gavai will become only the second Chief Justice of India from the Dalit community, following Justice K.G. Balakrishnan, who served as CJI from 2007 to 2010. His term is scheduled to run until November 23, 2025.

    Born on November 24, 1960, Justice Gavai entered the legal profession in 1985 and began independent practice at the Bombay High Court in 1987, later moving to its Nagpur Bench. He was appointed a judge of the Bombay High Court in November 2003 and elevated to the Supreme Court in May 2019.

    Justice Gavai comes from a distinguished public service background. His father, Ramakrishna Suryabhan Gavai, was a respected Ambedkarite leader, founder of the Republican Party of India (RPI), and served as a Member of Parliament from Amravati. He also held gubernatorial posts in Bihar, Sikkim, and Kerala between 2006 and 2011 under the Congress-led UPA government.

    Justice Gavai’s appointment to the top judicial post is being widely seen as a significant step forward for social inclusion and representation in India’s higher judiciary.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Sánchez, Davis, DelBene champion bill to reduce child care costs for working families

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (38th District of CA)

    In contrast to GOP effort to slash child care funding, this bill increases maximum child care credit by nearly 400 percent

    WASHINGTON – Representatives Linda Sánchez (D-Calif.), Danny K. Davis (D-Ill.) and Suzan DelBene (D-Wash.) introduced the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Enhancement Act to permanently expand the child care tax credit. The bill would raise the maximum credit from $1,050 to $4,000 for one child and from $2,100 to $8,000 for two or more children. 

    Senators Tina Smith (D-Minn.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Patty Murray (D-Wash.) introduced companion legislation in the Senate.

    “Working parents shouldn’t have to choose between earning a paycheck and caring for their kids,” said Sánchez. “Expanding the child care tax credit will make child care more affordable and accessible, so parents can focus on their work knowing their kids are being cared for.”

    “High-quality, affordable child care is essential to the economic well-being of families, businesses, and our country,” said Rep. Davis. “I am proud to lead the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Enhancement Act that would restore the 2021 credit so that families can receive up to $4,000 for child care for one child or up to $8,000 for two or more children, much better than the almost $600 that the typical family receives currently. This bill would strengthen the financial well-being of families and grow our economy. It is critical that Congress acts now to help working families.”

    “Access to affordable child care is one of the biggest barriers families face. Enhancing the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit will give parents the relief they need by supporting both families and care providers,” said DelBene. “This bill is a commonsense step toward making child care more accessible and affordable for every family.” 

    The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC) is the only tax credit that helps working parents offset the rising cost of child care. In 2021, Democrats successfully enhanced both the CDCTC and the Child Tax Credit because both credits are essential to support parents’ ability to provide for their families. While 100 percent of the CDCTC reimburses parents for actual child care costs paid to work, parents mostly use the Child Tax Credit to defray other significant costs of caring for a child, such as food, rent, and clothing. 

    As currently structured, the CDCTC unfortunately fails to meet the needs of tens of millions of working families. Very few families receive meaningful benefit from the credit due to the extremely low phase-out level of $15,000, the low expense limits, the non-refundable nature, and the loss of benefit due to inflation. For example, the Tax Policy Center estimates that only 13 percent of families with children claimed the CDCTC in 2022. The Child Care and Dependent Credit Enhancement Act will increase the maximum credit amount to $4,000 per child up to $8,000 for two or more children, expand eligibility to low-income families, make the credit available to married couples who file separately due to high student loan debt, and retain the credit’s value over time by indexing it to inflation. Compared to 2019, low-income working parents quadrupled their credit received in 2021. 

    High-quality, affordable child care is essential to the economic well-being of families, businesses, and our country. Yet, child care places a major financial burden on American families. The price of child care can range from $5,357 to $17,171 per year depending on location and type of care. Astoundingly, the cost of center-based care for two children is more than the average mortgage in 41 states and more than the average annual rent in all 50 states plus DC. Households under the poverty line spend nearly one third of their income on child care, and increases in median child care prices are connected to lower maternal employment rates. Further, the child care crisis hits families of color disproportionately hard. For a single parent who has never been married who is Black, Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, or American Indian/Alaska Native, child care can cost 36 percent, 41 percent, or 49 percent of the median income, respectively, compared to only 31 percent for single white parents. Further, Latino and American Indian and Alaska Native parents disproportionately live in child care deserts.

    Statements from Supporting Organizations

    The bill is endorsed by state and national child and worker advocates, including: Center for Law and Social Policy, Child Care Aware of America, Early Care and Education Consortium, First Five Years Fund, First Focus Campaign for Children, MomsRising, National Association for the Education of Young Children, National Women’s Law Center Action Fund, Save the Children, Start Early, Society for Human Resource Management, and ZERO TO THREE.

    “Often conflated with the child tax credit, the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit is one of the only tax incentives that helps working families with their child care expenses. As the cost of care increases, many families must contend with whether their current job pays enough to justify their child care expenses,” said Radha Mohan, executive director, Early Care and Education Consortium. “For families where one parent must leave the workforce because they cannot afford the cost of care, this often hurts the family from an economic standpoint in the long run. The CDCTC Enhancement Act helps ensure that families do not have to make this choice by providing a credit to offset the cost of care. When paired with programs such as the Child Care and Development Block Grant, this bill will ensure that many families will have reduced their child care costs by over 50 percent.”

    “As almost any working family with young children will tell you, the cost of child care is a major source of financial stress, putting immense pressure on already tight budgets,” said Sarah Rittling,executive director, First Five Years Fund. “The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Enhancement Act would make essential updates to the CDCTC to ensure more parents are able to keep more of what they earn to offset the high cost of care. We are grateful to Reps. Danny Davis, Suzan DelBene, and Linda Sanchez for their leadership and commitment to supporting families with young children.” 

    “For families with young children, the cost of childcare is often unaffordable and impacts their economic opportunity – the cornerstone of child and family well-being. The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Enhancement Act of 2025 is an important effort to update the CDCTC to ensure that more families can offset their child care costs. We are grateful to Rep. Danny Davis and his longstanding efforts to support children and families in his district and across the country, and also extend that appreciation to Reps. Suzan DelBene and Linda Sanchez., said Diana Rauner, president, Start Early.

    “Affordable child care isn’t a luxury – it’s the backbone of our economy,” said Yelena Tsilker, senior government relations and advocacy director, ZERO TO THREE. “Parents of infants now face child care bills that top $16,000 a year – higher than in-state college tuition in many states. The Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Enhancement Act tackles that crisis head-on by making the CDCTC fully refundable and increasing the maximum credit, so families of every income can choose the high-quality care their babies need. This relief will keep parents in the workforce and help millions of children thrive. We applaud Representatives Davis, DelBene, and Sánchez for championing legislation that hard-working families have long awaited.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: Trade Ranking Member Sánchez: UK deal lazy attempt at claiming victory

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (38th District of CA)

    WASHINGTON – Ways and Means Trade Subcommittee Ranking Member Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.) released the following statement in response to President Trump announcing an unfinished trade agreement with the United Kingdom:  

    “This is a lazy attempt at a trade agreement. President Trump is desperate to claim a win, hoping it will deflect from the rising costs and economic pain caused by his reckless trade policies.

    His so-called trade deal won’t help working families, farmers, or small businesses. Where is the U.K. market access for American poultry? What, if any, are the environmental, anti-corruption, and labor commitments? How will we uphold these commitments without any enforcement mechanism? And will President Trump follow the law and bring his deal before Congress so the American people get a say? Another attempt to weaken accountability and transparency

    “This is what President Trump does. He claims these ‘huge’ victories but after the headlines are written and the details come out, they fall short of his hype. Despite his attempt at distraction, his economic agenda is clearly failing.”

    Background

    Ranking Member Sánchez introduced the Stopping a Rogue President on Trade Act, a bill that would turn off the global tariffs imposed on April 2, turn off the tariffs imposed by executive order for Mexico and Canada, and require congressional approval for tariffs imposed by the president. The bill has the support of all Ways and Means Democrats.

    “President Trump inherited a strong, growing economy that was the envy of the world. But in just 100 days, his reckless trade policies have sent our economy spiraling downward and we’re now staring at the very real threat of yet another Republican-led recession. 

    “That means lost jobs, rising prices, and working families once again forced to bear the brunt of this administration’s failures – all due to self-inflicted wounds by a president dangerously out of control. Congress must reclaim its authority over trade and tariffs before President Trump plunges us into a recession.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: Sánchez on Republican tax bill: Don’t buy the bullshit

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman Linda Sanchez (38th District of CA)

    WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.) delivered an opening statement during the Ways and Means Committee’s markup of the Republican tax bill.

    Video of her opening statement is available HERE and the text follows:

    “Well, here we go again.

    Republicans are once again choosing billionaires and big corporations over working families. This bill that we are marking up today is an insult to every hardworking American. It sends a very clear message: that you’ll pay more, and you’ll receive fewer services – just so that billionaires can pocket another tax cut that they really don’t need.

    American families, in case you have noticed, are struggling. Under President Trump and Republican leadership, they have seen nothing but chaos. They’ve watched Elon Musk gleefully take a chainsaw to vital programs that they rely on, like Social Security, Medicare, and the VA. Travel is less safe at airports because they are left in disarray due to the cuts to our air traffic control systems.

    Prices for everyday necessities – like food, clothing, diapers, and formula – keep rising because of Trump’s tariffs. Premiums for health insurance, car insurance, and housing are going up, making it harder and harder for families to make ends meet.

    And now, rather than providing real relief, Republicans want to look at this chaos, put it into law, and call it ‘one beautiful bill.’ All to pay for more tax cuts for the rich while adding [trillions] to our national debt.

    Nearly $20 trillion in debt over the next ten years by Republicans’ own members’ own estimates. Not our estimates – their estimates. Americans are worried about their future. Consumer confidence is at a record low. People are afraid of losing their jobs, their health care, student aid, and food assistance.

    And this bill today compounds that pain. 14 million people will lose health care coverage under this plan. And for what? Again, so billionaires can get even richer while we all drown in debt. This is outrageous. Billionaires already have more money than they could ever spend. They can afford to pay their fair share.

    What’s equally disturbing is you’re not being honest about the fact that you are meting out crumbs to the most needy while you are helping the most wealthy. And don’t buy the bullshit that tax cuts for the rich create more jobs or better wages. It’s been the excuse under every Republican administration in the last half-century to pass more and more tax cuts to the rich.

    And it has failed to deliver on that promise each and every single time. The wealthy just got richer while the working families got harmed. All while piling on more debt that families will have to pay off.

    I’m outraged that this committee is focused on doing more for the richest in this country while destroying the means of survival for the poorest. And this bill doubles down on that assault on those seeking the American Dream by stealing tax benefits and services to working people who are paying taxes!

    It would deny the Child Tax Credit to 2 million U.S. citizen children. Even worse, it would deny Medicare coverage to those who’ve worked and paid into the system. How dare Republicans say they are for the working class when they’re making it harder for those struggling to get by?

    Enough is enough. My constituents are fed up. They’re sick and tired of Republican tax cuts that only benefit the ultra-wealthy. Our tax code needs to be about fairness. It needs to be about balance. It should support families, not the rich. But this bill does the exact opposite.

    To my Republican colleagues, I say: please just stop this insanity. You have to lie about what is in this bill; otherwise, probably, your constituents would be rioting in the streets. Here is an idea: how about you think about putting your constituents first for once, rather than the people who donate to your campaigns?

    But I guess that is asking a little too much from people who have completely lost their moral compass. I will be voting ‘no’ on this bill. I hope some on that side of the aisle see the light and do the same.”

    WASHINGTON – Congresswoman Linda T. Sánchez (D-Calif.) released the following statement on the election of Pope Leo XIV:  

    “This is a historic moment for the Catholic Church as American-born Cardinal Robert Prevost has been elected our next pope. At a time when many are turning away from the global community, it’s heartwarming that someone who embraces the world, speaks many languages and is committed to social justice has ascended to the papacy.

    “Pope Leo XIV arrives at a time when the Church faces both challenges and opportunities. I’m hopeful he will follow Pope Francis and continue to be a vessel for peace, dignity and inclusion in the world. I pray he is granted the strength and wisdom necessary to serve humanity.”

    ABN AMRO Bank posts net profit of EUR 619 million in Q1 2025

    14 May 2025

    Key messages

    • Solid results: Net profit of EUR 619 million, with a return on equity of around 10%
    • Good business momentum: Mortgage portfolio grew by EUR 1.7 billion and corporate loans by EUR 0.9 billion
    • Resilient net interest income despite impact from lower short-term interest rates
    • Continued fee growth: Increase of 8% compared to Q1 2024, with contributions from all client units
    • Cost discipline: Underlying costs declined 5% compared to Q4 2024; guidance for full-year 2025 unchanged
    • Solid credit quality: Impairments of EUR 5 million, reflecting net additions for individual files offset by model-related releases
    • Strong capital position: Basel IV CET1 ratio of 14.7%
    • Capital Markets Day to be held in November

    Marguerite Bérard, CEO:
    “As we reflect on the first quarter of 2025, I am honoured to address you as the new CEO of ABN AMRO. I value the trust placed in me by the Supervisory Board to lead our bank in the years to come. In the coming period, my priority will be to lead a strategic review of our activities, while building upon our solid foundations and strong market positions. We will focus on enhancing our profitability, optimising our capital position, right-sizing our cost base and achieving meaningful growth. The outcome of this review will be presented at a Capital Markets Day in November this year.

    The Dutch economy continues to demonstrate resilience, with GDP growth in recent years above the Eurozone average, low unemployment and good housing market performance. Thanks to this robust foundation, the economy is well-positioned to navigate the current uncertainties around trade tensions and geopolitical developments. In these challenging times, ABN AMRO performed well, delivering another quarter of solid results and growth in our loan books. This reflects our strategic focus on key growth areas, our credit quality and our ability to adapt to changing market conditions.

    In the first quarter of 2025, we showed solid results with a net profit of EUR 619 million and a return on equity of around 10%. This performance was underpinned by resilient net interest income, continued high fee income and limited net impairments. After a few quarters of rising costs, we managed to reduce our underlying costs in Q1 compared to the previous quarter. To deliver on our guidance of keeping underlying costs broadly flat compared to last year, cost discipline remains a priority. Therefore, we enforced increased controls on consultant expenditures and external hiring.

    Though challenging for colleagues, as we all need to adjust, it will help us reassess capacity needs and optimise our resources. By collaborating and using our creativity and talents, I believe we can deliver on our strategic ambitions while becoming a more agile organisation.

    Our strong capital position, with a Basel IV CET1 ratio of 14.7%, allows us to continue investing in our strategic priorities while maintaining financial stability. In Q1, we submitted the final application to move models to less sophisticated approaches which is now reflected in our capital ratios. The simplification will bring stability and predictability to our capital position. The largest part of our balance sheet remains under advanced models, specifically mortgages, banks and financial institutions. Portfolios that required significant modelling and data efforts will be moved to the standardised approach.

    Our continued efforts to improve customer experience resulted in an increase in our Net Promoter Score for Personal & Business Banking during the first quarter of 2025. Clients especially praise our efficient and good customer services, proactive contact, and the convenience of our digital services. This was also recognised by the 2024 Digital Leaders Study, which ranked ABN AMRO among the top performers. Tikkie, with 10 million active users, is a good example of our innovative offering. During King’s Day this year, Tikkie processed a record number of almost 700,000 transactions. We also introduced the Index Mandate, an actively-managed product that invests in underlying passive instruments. With this product we aim to attract younger clients and help them begin with portfolio management.

    We remain dedicated to sustainability. In the first quarter we launched the free online Green Building Tool which helps provide commercial real estate clients with insights into opportunities to save energy and improve their energy label. We realise that making the switch to a sustainable society is not always straightforward for our clients. A survey among over 350 business clients at our decarbonisation conference revealed challenges in the energy transition, including high capital expenditure, complexity and cost impacts. We aim to support our clients towards a low-carbon future by providing financing and expertise. One example of how we can help them is our recent agreement with the EIB Group to support Dutch SMEs with favourable financing conditions. This collaboration will enhance economic growth and the sustainability efforts of our clients. It includes the largest risk-sharing agreement with the EIB Group to date, totalling EUR 1 billion.

    ABN AMRO believes that everyday represents a new beginning for our customers, and for whom we stand ready to support. I am looking forward to my ‘new beginning’, collaborating with all my colleagues to deliver results for our stakeholders in the years to come.

  • MIL-Evening Report: What is the ‘glass cliff’ phenomenon – and why do women often find themselves on the precipice?

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Kerrie-Anne Hammermeister, PhD Candidate in the School of Humanities and Communication, University of Southern Queensland

    GoodStudio/Shutterstock

    Speaking to the media after being named leader of the Liberal Party, Sussan Ley was asked if this appointment was an example of the “glass cliff effect”.

    Ley said “I don’t accept that”. She went on:

    I do say it sends a signal to the women of Australia that the Liberal Party has elected its first woman leader but my agenda is much more than that.

    Most of us are familiar with the concept of the “glass ceiling”, a metaphor used to describe the invisible barriers which prevent women from succeeding in senior leadership – and Ley could be seen as breaking the glass ceiling of the Liberal party.

    But the “glass cliff” applies to women who are elevated to positions of leadership in a time of crisis, meaning they are perceived as having a high probability of failure and will take the fall for their organisation.

    The glass cliff evokes imagery of a woman being at the top of a mountain cliff. Being on the cliff is a dangerous position: there is a high chance of falling – or being pushed off.

    Times of misfortune

    Against the historical backdrop of male-dominated leadership, the metaphor was coined to reflect women’s experience of leadership selection in times of organisational misfortune and crisis.

    The “glass cliff” has sometimes been invoked in misogynist ways to downplay the strengths of women in leadership, saying they have been put in a position of leadership with the express belief they will fail. But it does describe a commonly seen phenomenon which is important to observe and understand.

    There are many prominent examples of women who have been associated with the phrase.

    British Prime Minister Liz Truss was elevated to the role at a time of significant uncertainty, and was in the position for just 45 days.

    US Presidential candidate Kamala Harris was given minimal time to campaign and establish herself as a genuine opponent to Republican candidate Donald Trump.

    Former Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz, who was appointed when the tech company was failing and share prices were down before being unceremoniously dumped via a phone call.

    ‘Think female’

    Some academics believe that these women aren’t placed in the position of the glass cliff to be the fall guy, but instead these appointments relate to women’s perceived ability to handle organisational crises. They propose an alternative phrase: “think crisis – think female”.

    This phrase suggests women leaders perform better than men in a crisis, partly due to the assumption that women will garner more support than men in such times.

    It is based on stereotypes of women’s perceived ability to build and repair relationships and reputations.

    Both phrases link women leaders and crises. But the glass cliff explains how women are elevated into positions of leadership in turbulent times and are blamed when organisations fail.

    Professional risk

    The phenomenon of the glass cliff is a professional risk for women in leadership.

    Organisations may prey on the career ambitions of outgroup women, knowing that they are more likely to accept any leadership position, even a precarious one, in order to advance their career.

    The privilege of the ingroup men, on the other hand, means they are protected from taking on a leadership position with risk and volatility.

    Women leaders taking on these roles in turbulent times are also exposed to greater scrutiny from internal and external stakeholders, including individual performance criticism.

    If a woman leader then fails, her performance is seen to reinforce gender stereotypes about women’s leadership competency.

    Further complicating this context are gendered stereotypes that assume women leaders have exceptional people skills, meaning senior women in high-risk leadership roles receive less support and fewer resources than their male counterparts.

    The glass cliff presents a double bind for women leaders. If women leaders behave in stereotypically feminine ways they are seen as weak or indecisive. By contrast, if they behave counter to this they are labelled as harsh and aggressive.

    Either way, the glass cliff awaits.

    The glass cliff phenomenon draws our attention to the way in which women are set up to fail in high-risk risk leadership roles. But the metaphor also reveals the ongoing gender discrimination and stereotype bias women experience in taking on professional leadership roles.

    Kerrie-Anne Hammermeister does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organisation that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond their academic appointment.

    The Indian market indices opened in the green on Wednesday after retail inflation hit multi-year low and geo-political tensions eased.

    At around 9:25 am, Sensex was up 414 points or 0.51 per cent at 81,562 and Nifty was up 136 points or 0.55 per cent at 24,712.

    Buying was seen in the midcap and smallcap stocks. Nifty midcap 100 index was up 510 points or 0.92 per cent at 56,030 and Nifty smallcap 100 index was up 132 points or 0.78 per cent at 17,035.

    On the sectoral front, all indices were trading in the green. Auto, IT, PSU bank, FMCG, metal, energy, infra and PSE were major gainers.

    “After a positive opening, Nifty can find support at 24,500 followed by 24,400 and 24,300. On the higher side, 24,700 can be an immediate resistance, followed by 24,800 and 24,850,” said Hardik Matalia from Choice Broking.

    In the Sensex pack, Tata Steel, Bharti Airtel, Tech Mahindra, Infosys, Eternal, HCL Tech, M&M, Bajaj Finserv, L&T, TCS, SBI and NTPC were major gainers. On the other hand, Tata Motors, Asian Paints, IndusInd Bank, HUL, Nestle and Kotak Mahindra Bank were major losers.

    Earlier, India’s retail inflation fell to 3.16 per cent in April from 3.34 per cent in March, to its lowest level since July 2019.

    “With crude oil prices sharply easing, domestic demand softer, and food prices contained, we expect the RBI to cut rates aggressively,” said Devarsh Vakil, Head of Prime Research at HDFC Securities.

    The Asian stock markets were trading in a mixed zone. Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul and Jakarta were in the green, while Japan and Bangkok were in the red.

    The US markets closed in the mixed zone on Tuesday. Main index Dow Jones ended in the red and technology index Nasdaq closed higher for a second straight day after softer-than-expected inflation numbers.

    The foreign institutional investors (FIIs) sold equities worth Rs 476 crore on May 13, while domestic institutional investors (DIIs) extended their buying on the third day as they bought equities of Rs 4,273 crore on the same day.

    Source: APEC – Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation

    Education ministers from 21 APEC economies are gathering in Jeju, Republic of Korea, today for the 7th APEC Education Ministerial Meeting, and reaffirming their shared commitment to bridging educational divides and fostering growth that benefits all people in the region through innovation and global cooperation.

    Held under the theme “Bridging Educational Gaps and Promoting Sustainable Growth in the Era of Digital Transformation: Innovate, Connect, Prosper,” the meeting comes at a moment of profound global change, as member economies confront the challenges of digital disruption, demographic shifts, climate change and widening inequalities.

    “We are not simply witnessing ordinary changes—we are living through a monumental transformation in human civilization,” said Ju-Ho Lee, Acting President, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Education of the Republic of Korea, who chairs the meeting. “Education is emerging not merely as a tool of economic competitiveness, but as a pillar of sustainable prosperity for the global community.”

    In discussions throughout the day, ministers explore how digital transformation, particularly the rise of generative AI, is forcing a fundamental rethink of how education systems function and what they aim to achieve.

    “What kind of human being are we truly seeking to nurture through education?” Acting President Lee posed. “Today’s students must cultivate the ability to think critically, define problems independently and seek creative solutions. Equally important is the nurturing of human values and a sense of responsibility as members of a global community.”

    Korea introduces the AI Digital Textbook (AIDT), which supports learners in studying at their own pace and level, and empowers teachers to take on the role of learning designers and facilitators.

    “This is more than the adoption of new tools,” said Acting President Lee. “It is a bold and inclusive approach to unlock the potential of every learner and to transform classrooms into dynamic learning environments.”

    Ministers emphasize that developing AI-powered content, modernizing assessment systems and enhancing digital skills among teachers are key areas for collaboration to ensure inclusive, high-quality education across the region.

    The meeting also highlights the need for stronger cross-border partnerships to accelerate innovation and reduce educational inequality.

    “Global cooperation in education is more critical than ever,” said Acting President Lee. “We must share best practices, collaborate on policies and technologies, and work hand in hand to close persistent educational gaps.”

    Ministers also underscores the importance of sharing AI-driven innovations, promoting teacher exchanges, strengthening regional learning networks and advancing digital inclusion initiatives as effective ways to reach underserved learners.

    As APEC economies strive to build inclusive, future-ready societies, ministers reaffirm education’s role as the foundation for economic resilience, social cohesion and long-term prosperity.

    Korea shares its efforts to advance regional innovation ecosystems and digital lifelong learning systems in partnership with universities and local communities, helping all citizens adapt proactively to change.

    “Education is not merely the transfer of knowledge. It is the most powerful instrument we have to design our shared future,” said Acting President Lee. “As AI and digital technologies evolve at an unprecedented pace, we must ensure that the benefits of these advancements are distributed fairly and equitably across societies.”

    Throughout the meeting, ministers are aligned on the need to adapt domestic education strategies to APEC-wide priorities and committed to strengthening collaboration through the Human Resources Development Working Group and other multilateral platforms.
