    No bad weather can darken this environment, because today the State University of Management celebrates the birthday of its vice-rector Vitaly Lapshenkov.

    Vitaly Vladimirovich is responsible for the university campus, the face of GUU. And judging by how popular posts with photos of the buildings are in our social networks, students really like this face. But a large university is not only a facade, it is also a lot of technical communications that need to be maintained in perfect order. These systems are updated on a regular basis. For example, in the spring, heating system refill stations were installed in the heating points of the Main Academic Building, Dormitory No. 2 and Dormitory No. 6. The birthday boy not only cares about all of us, but also regularly participates in the “GUU-SVOim” campaign, sending humanitarian aid to the special military operation zone and border areas. In addition, he successfully defends the honor of the university at sports tournaments. In early June, at the V Billiard Sports Championship among rectors and vice-rectors of universities in Moscow and the Moscow Region, Vitaly Lapshenkov once again proved that he is the best.

    We wish our Vice-Rector further professional and sporting success, interesting family trips and a complete absence of emergency situations anywhere. Happy birthday!

    Minsk, July 23 /Xinhua/ — The SCO Media and Analytical Centers Summit will allow us to consider practices for countering challenges and build a model of information cooperation. This was stated recently in an interview with a Xinhua correspondent by Dmitry Zhuk, Director and Editor-in-Chief of the Belarus Segodnya Publishing House.

    Speaking about his expectations for the upcoming summit in the Chinese province of Henan, D. Zhuk noted that China’s thorough, substantive and comprehensively balanced approach to any undertaking ends in success. “Therefore, expectations for the upcoming key event are the most optimistic. I am confident that the summit will allow us to consider the best practices for countering various external challenges and build a new effective model of information cooperation in the international arena,” he said.

    The agency’s interlocutor pointed out that the media today are faced with incessant hybrid aggression from the increasingly anachronistic collective West, the growing apathy of the readership provoked by this aggression – its fakes, lies, emotional overheating. In his opinion, the emergence of artificial intelligence has also played a role: new technologies, generated fakes, are already being tested on us.

    “And therefore, the exchange and cooperation of media within the SCO is a serious and very effective tool for countering such trends. This is the formation of the “Shanghai spirit” in the media environment, if you will. With the principles of mutual respect, recognition of the diversity of cultures and civilizations in the modern world, respect for the independent choice of each nation of its social system and development model. And most importantly – with the desire for joint prosperity, not confrontation,” the expert explained.

    Assessing the role of the SCO in the modern world, the editor-in-chief noted that the organization is in many ways fundamental and influences the further development of global politics and economic cooperation.

    The SCO has enormous potential and is very consistent: it initially stated that the world order in the 21st century should be based on mechanisms for collective resolution of key problems, the rule of law, and the democratization of international relations,” added D. Zhuk.

    In 2024, Belarus officially became a member of the SCO. D. Zhuk quoted Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, who emphasized at a meeting with SCO Secretary General Nurlan Yermekbayev on January 27, 2025: “We will work in every possible way to ensure that the Organization not only develops, but also strengthens. This is very important for us. We see the SCO as an organization that in the future will definitely be a serious center of attraction, one might say, a center of power.”

    According to D. Zhuk, the “Shanghai spirit” in the modern world is in many ways the quintessence of rational development of humanity. “The Shanghai spirit” of equality regardless of the size of the territory, level of well-being and state power, respect for the position of each state is an example to the whole world of how to implement the development of countries in national interests,” explained D. Zhuk.

    He also noted that Belarus has consistently implemented exactly these principles and norms throughout its years of independence. “Therefore, the country not only has every right to count on a comfortable stay in the SCO, but is also capable of further strengthening its quality component, influence and effectiveness,” the agency’s interlocutor noted.

    In his opinion, China played a comprehensive role during its presidency of the SCO. “It should be noted that throughout the SCO’s existence, China has consistently put forward extremely important initiatives in the areas of security, politics, economics, and the humanitarian dimension. Figuratively speaking, China has not only cut the SCO diamond, but also constantly makes it sparkle with new facets. And it is very gratifying that Belarus intends to contribute to this,” D. Zhuk emphasized. –0–

    WASHINGTON, July 23 (Xinhua) — The United States has reached a trade deal with Japan that includes a 15 percent tariff on Japanese goods, U.S. President Donald Trump said on social media on Tuesday.

    Japan will invest $550 billion in the United States, which will receive 90 percent of the profits, he said, adding that the deal will create hundreds of thousands of jobs.

    “Japan will open its country to trade, including cars and trucks, rice and some other agricultural products, and other goods. Japan will pay the United States equivalent tariffs of 15 percent,” the president wrote.

    In a recent letter to Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, the U.S. leader threatened to raise tariffs on Japan to 25 percent from August 1, up from the 24 percent tariff announced on April 2.

    As one of the United States’ major trading partners, Japan has been tough in bilateral trade negotiations.

    According to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the U.S.-Japan merchandise trade deficit in 2024 was $68.5 billion, with imports from Japan reaching $148.2 billion and exports to Japan reaching $79.7 billion.

    D. Trump also announced a trade deal with the Philippines after meeting with the country’s President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. earlier on Tuesday.

    The White House did not release details of the trade deals with the Philippines and Japan.

    On Tuesday, U.S. officials released more details about the trade deal with Indonesia, which was announced July 15. Indonesia will eliminate about 99 percent of tariff barriers on a full range of U.S. manufactured, food, and agricultural goods, while the United States will impose a 19 percent tariff on Indonesian imports. Jakarta will also lift restrictions on exports to the U.S. of manufactured goods, including key minerals.

    Earlier in July, Trump pushed back the tariffs’ implementation date from July 9 to August 1 amid ongoing negotiations with the European Union and other major trading partners. –0–

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Expect the unexpected as Derby Festé returns for 2025!

    Source: City of Derby

    We’re so excited to announce that Derby Festé is back for 2025! The city’s free outdoor arts festival returns on Saturday 27 September.

    This vibrant event is proudly presented by Derby City Council with project grant support from Arts Council England National Lottery funding. Festé is delivered in partnership with FABRIC, the Midlands strategic dance development organisation, with additional support from Derby Museums and QUAD.

    After a brief hiatus last year, the festival is back with a bang, promising an exciting and unforgettable experience for all.

    Expect the unexpected as the streets burst into life with a spectacular mix of dance, theatre, circus, parkour, and aerial performance. It’s a full-on sensory adventure designed to spark your imagination and stir your soul.

    This year’s programme is a tale for our times—celebrating the wonder of nature, confronting the challenges it faces, and exploring how we can come together to create change. From the magical and moving to the bold and hilarious, Derby Festé will once again captivate and delight audiences of all ages.

    See it. Feel it. Be part of it. Join artist and cartoonist Scott Walker in a giant street-style doodle art piece, or take a trip to the beach under a giant spinning parasol! Keep an eye out for the mischievous Slinkies as Big Mob rolls through—audience participation optional (but encouraged!).

    With plenty of family-friendly performances, many of which are non-verbal, Derby Festé is accessible to deaf audiences and those who don’t use English as a first language.

    The festival will feature performances by a host of local artists, including Derby-based Maison Foo and Hubbub Theatre. The city’s cultural partners will also be creating a programme of fringe events, meaning the Festé fun will be going on into the evening!

    So put the date in your diary and look out for more information about the programme, which will be coming soon!

    Councillor Nadine Peatfield, Leader of Derby City Council and Cabinet Member for City Centre, Regeneration, Strategy and Policy, said:

    I’m thrilled that Derby Feste will return this September. The event is a celebration of our city that highlights the passion, energy and commitment of the people of Derby and we all missed its dynamic presence last year. It promises to be a day to remember!

    Thank you to the Derby Live team and our cultural partners for supporting our vision to put culture at the heart of our city.

    Peter Knott, Midlands Area Director at Arts Council England, said:

    We’re delighted to be supporting Derby Festé 2025 with £47,000 of National Lottery Project Grants funding, and look forward to welcoming this much-loved event back to the city.

    Festé always brings a sense of excitement and exhilaration to Derby, as the community comes together to celebrate arts and culture. We’re already looking forward to this autumn’s edition of the festival.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: New Silvertown Tunnel has significantly cut congestion in east and south-east London, reducing journey times on approach roads by as much as 70 per cent in the morning peak, and boosting public transport uptake in the capital

    Source: Mayor of London

    • Latest Transport for London (TfL) monitoring data confirms the new Silvertown Tunnel is a huge success for Londoners with eased congestion, increased public transport use and improved journeys for all
    • Since the new tunnel opened on 7 April this year, on budget and on time, there is significantly less congestion around the approaches to the Blackwall Tunnel during peak morning travel hours
    • Londoners using the previously congested northbound A102 approach to the tunnels have seen a 70 per cent decrease in their journey times in the morning peak when compared to the month prior to the Silvertown Tunnel opening
    • New figures also show a huge boost in number of Londoners choosing to take public transport with improved reliability and services seeing more than 20,000 daily trips on the three zero-emission bus routes serving the Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels – an increase of 160 per cent
    • Discounted travel and public transport concessions introduced by the Mayor of London and TfL are working to better connect communities to jobs, opportunities, homes and leisure

    New data published today by Transport for London (TfL) shows that the Silvertown Tunnel is easing congestion for Londoners, boosting public transport use and improving journeys for everyone [1].

    Delivered on time and on budget by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, the 1.4km Tunnel – which opened on 7 April this year and connects Silvertown to the Greenwich Peninsula in east London – is the first new road crossing east of London’s Tower Bridge in 33 years.

    Latest monitoring data from three months of operations has confirmed that the Tunnel is achieving the objectives it was designed for. These include supporting economic and population growth, in particular in east and south-east London, by providing improved cross-river transport links, and, through road user charging, managing congestion in this area of London.

    The report shows that, since the tunnel’s opening just over three months ago, the performance of the road network has improved and there is significantly less congestion around the Blackwall Tunnel approaches. This is particularly noticeable on the northbound A102 approach to the tunnels which was previously a hotspot for congestion. Now, during weekday morning peak hours, average speeds on the approach road have increased from 9mph in March 2025 – prior to the tunnel opening – to 30mph. These faster journeys mean that there has also been a 70 per cent decrease in journey times in the morning peak when compared with before the Silvertown Tunnel opened (March 2025).

    Currently, there are around 91,000 vehicles using the Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels combined in both directions on a typical weekday, with almost 22,000 of these vehicles using the Silvertown Tunnel.​ It compares with around 96,000 vehicles per day using the Blackwall Tunnel before the Silvertown Tunnel opened – this is a reduction of six per cent despite a 50 per cent increase in road capacity for cars and vans.​ Of all the vehicles crossing the river at this point, only around four per cent are HGVs.

    The data published today covers the first 11 weeks of operation of the Silvertown Tunnel. TfL will continue to closely monitor and report on the scheme’s impact on congestion, resilience and air quality, in line with their obligations under the Development Consent Order for the scheme’s construction.

    The additional resilience that the new crossing provides is directly benefiting Londoners, especially when an incident occurs at the Blackwall Tunnel. Before the Silvertown Tunnel opened, daily incidents and closures caused delays of up to 20 minutes – a six-minute closure could result in three-mile tailbacks.

    There has been a 39 per cent reduction in the number of unplanned closures at the Blackwall Tunnel since the Silvertown Tunnel opened. When the Blackwall Tunnel was closed in both directions on 14 May due to a road traffic incident, there was minimal impact to traffic flow because drivers were able to use the Silvertown Tunnel, demonstrating the additional resilience that the new tunnel provides to the road network.

    Use of bus services operating through the Blackwall and Silvertown Tunnels has also increased. 

    Now, almost one in ten (nine per cent) cross-river trips through the two tunnels are being made by public transport. With new double-deck, zero-emission buses running through the Silvertown Tunnel and making use of the dedicated bus and HGV lane, more than 20,000 journeys are being made each day across new route SL4, the extended 129 and the existing 108 service, an increase of 160 per cent compared to before the scheme opened. It is estimated that around 7,000 of these journeys, which are free on pay as you go for at least the first 12 months, are crossing the river using one of the tunnels.

    In particular, Londoners who use the route 108 bus between Stratford International and Lewisham via the Blackwall Tunnel are experiencing around 23 per cent less excess waiting time – the average time passengers wait beyond the scheduled wait time – compared to the period before the Silvertown Tunnel opened, while peak northbound journey times on route 108 through the tunnel segment have reduced by 4.5 minutes. [2]

    These bus routes are working alongside a free cycle shuttle service between North Greenwich and Royal Docks. Data on use of the cycle shuttle service shows steady demand of around 125-130 cyclists daily, and usage is expected to grow as cyclists plan and adapt their routes to benefit from this innovative and free crossing option. TfL will continue working with boroughs and local stakeholders to raise awareness of the service over the summer months to encourage greater uptake.

    Across the wider road network, early analysis from the data released today shows that total traffic volumes – including on key corridors such as the A2, A12, and A13 – have remained stable and TfL is working closely to manage additional customers using the Woolwich Ferry.

    As the strategic river crossing in east London, the Blackwall and Silvertown tunnels corridor continues to carry the majority of cross-river traffic in east London as expected. Today’s new data shows that eligible TfL customers are signing up for discounts to use the Silvertown Tunnel, including the business discount for host boroughs (Greenwich, Newham and Tower Hamlets) and the east London low-income residents’ discount. [3]

    The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “The new data TfL has published today clearly demonstrates the impact the new Silvertown Tunnel is having. It’s a big win for London. Since it opened in April, we have seen congestion significantly reduced at the Blackwall Tunnel, ensuring more Londoners get to their destination on time. The discounts and concessions we have put in place have also helped to encourage public transport uptake, boosting the numbers of journeys being made on the three cross-river zero-emission bus routes by 160 per cent.

    “This is encouraging early data, and we will continue to monitor the impacts of the scheme as we continue to build a better, greener and fairer London for everyone.”

    Alex Williams, Chief Customer and Strategy Officer at TfL, said: “It’s great to see that our initial analysis is showing that the new Silvertown Tunnel, supported by user charges, is already reducing congestion around the Blackwall Tunnel, improving journey times, and supporting thousands of Londoners to cross the river using public transport such as the free bus services that the tunnel facilitates.

    “We are fully committed to monitoring the impact of the tunnels, including how it impacts other river crossings and traffic along major and local roads in London, and will work hard to ensure that the benefits of the scheme are embedded to secure long-term improvements for Londoners.”

    Suzi Rullo, Senior Development Manager, Royal Docks Team, said: “The opening of the Silvertown Tunnel provides a significant boost to infrastructure in the Royal Docks – enhancing bus services, improving cycle access via the Lower Lea Crossing and delivering major upgrades to the road network around the Tidal Basin Roundabout. These new connections add to the Royal Docks excellent transport links – the Elizabeth Line, Jubilee Line, DLR and the Royal Docks Corridor road improvement initiative – helping to drive growth and unlock investment across the area.

    “As the tunnel’s construction works have completed, we are now working with TFL to release the land back to landowners in preparation for development of the Thameside West planning consent – set to deliver 5,000 new homes, strategic industrial land and a new DLR station.”

    Muniya Barua, Deputy Chief Executive at BusinessLDN, said: “It’s positive to see the Silvertown Tunnel already helping to improve journey times and reduce congestion only a few months after opening. The project shows what’s possible when the public and private sectors work in partnership to deliver vital infrastructure.

    Caroline Russell AM launches report, Changing the Narrative – Ending the acceptance of road death in London

    Green Party member of the London Assembly, Caroline Russell, today published her report: Changing the Narrative – Ending the acceptance of road death in London. [1]

    It contains recommendations for Transport for London’s (TfL) Vision Zero Action Plan 2, to be published later this year.

    The first Vision Zero Action Plan was produced by the Mayor and TfL in 2018, with actions to ensure: “no one to be killed in or by a London bus by 2030, and for all deaths and serious injuries from road collisions to be eliminated from London’s streets by 2041.” [2]

    Yet, at a TfL Board meeting in June 2025, the TfL Commissioner stated: “significant acceleration is needed to meet the 2041 Vision Zero ambition.” [3]

    Caroline’s report looks at the widespread acceptance of cars dominating our public realm and shares ideas for big changes to achieve Vision Zero. These cover street design, communication and legislation.

    Green Party London Assembly Member Caroline Russell said:

    “Collisions, never ‘accidents’, happen daily. They happen when people make mistakes. The problem is that when a driver loses control at the wheel through fatigue, distraction or even recklessness, people walking, crossing the road or travelling on a bike or in another vehicle can be harmed.

    “My report calls on TfL – and outlines proposals – to ensure our streets are properly inclusive, safe and convenient for everyone to use. At a time when practical measures to reduce danger are all too often framed as ‘anti-driver’ rather than as helpful interventions to ensure everyone gets home safely from work or school or a trip to the shops, TfL must address the polarisation of debate about measures to reduce danger on our streets.

    “The Mayor and TfL need to lead a big conversation about how every Londoner can play their part in cutting miles driven, injuries sustained, and lives lost on London’s roads each day.

    “I want to hear Londoners’ ideas about ending road danger where they live, so I can share them with TfL while Vision Zero Action Plan 2 is being drafted.” 

    Caroline Russell will be hosting a roundtable participatory event at City Hall (Wednesday 23 July 2025) to mark the launch of the report. Attendees will include campaigners, bereaved families, crash survivors, policy experts, representatives from TfL and academics.

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    A comprehensive territorial development project (CTD) will be implemented in the Basmanny District of the Central Administrative District of Moscow. Within its framework, six inefficiently used land plots will be reorganized. The corresponding draft resolution posted on the Moscow Government website, said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction Vladimir Efimov.

    “The integrated development project for the Basmanny District envisages the reorganization of six sites with an area of 9.53 hectares. Three of them with a total area of 4.23 hectares will be allocated for launch sites for the renovation program. They plan to build more than 110 thousand square meters of residential real estate there. The necessary infrastructure will be built on other sites located nearby, and cultural facilities will be preserved. The operator of the integrated development of the territory will be a city developer. As a result of the project, more than one thousand jobs will be created here,” said Vladimir Efimov.

    The areas allocated for redevelopment are located at the intersection of Tsentrosoyuzny and Balakirevskiy lanes. This is an area with a rich history and established infrastructure. Nearby there is a school, college, lyceum, exhibition center, pharmacy, medical center, bank branch, coffee shops, restaurants, and the Moscow Drama Theater “Modern” is also located.

    “The area of apartments in new buildings will be approximately 64.8 thousand square meters, which will provide new housing for about 2.3 thousand city residents. In addition to construction, the project also provides for the preservation of cultural sites located on two sites. On one of them, where the Moscow Food Plant previously operated, two sculptures were installed in the 70s of the last century: a monument to Lenin and a monument to the workers of the enterprise who died during the Great Patriotic War. They will be put in order and moved to a new location. On the site of the former Moscow Margarine Plant of Centrosoyuz, they will preserve the historical complex of dormitories of the former factory for the production of paper yarn of the merchant S.A. Gorelov, built according to the design of the architect Luntz in the last third of the 19th century,” noted the Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital’s Department of Urban Development Policy

    Vladislav Ovchinsky.

    Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin spoke aboutthe fifth anniversary of the KRT program in the capital.

    According to the program of integrated development of territories, multifunctional city blocks are being created, where roads, comfortable housing and all necessary infrastructure are being designed on the site of former industrial zones and inefficiently used areas. Currently, 336 KRT projects with a total area of more than 4.2 thousand hectares are at various stages of development and implementation in Moscow. This work is being carried outon behalf of Sergei Sobyanin.

    More than 330 residents of four old five-story buildings on Plyushcheva and Masterovaya streets have completed paperwork for new apartments under the renovation program. This was reported by Ekaterina Solovieva, Minister of the Moscow Government, Head of the Department of City Property.

    “In the second half of May, about 900 Muscovites from houses 8 and 10, buildings 1 and 2 on Plyushcheva Street, and house 5 on Masterovaya Street began a phased relocation to a new residential complex at 6a Perovskaya Street. Now, 90 percent of city residents who have begun relocation have already decided on their choice of housing in the modern residential complex — over 800 people. More than 330 of them have signed contracts with the City Property Department to receive equivalent housing. Apartments are provided to program participants with finished finishing, which will allow new residents to move in immediately without wasting time on repairs,” said Ekaterina Solovyova.

    The new building is located a five-minute walk from the five-story buildings being resettled — after moving in, residents will be able to use the familiar infrastructure. Over time, shops, service enterprises, or city organizations will appear on the ground floors.

    “The residential complex on Perovskaya Street will have 442 apartments with finished, improved finishes. Three of them have been equipped for people with limited mobility and disabilities – they have made wide corridors and doorways, and handrails have been installed in the bathrooms. A children’s playground and a sports ground with a safe rubber surface, as well as a recreation area, have been set up near the building. CCTV cameras and lights have been installed in the courtyard. After moving, city residents will be able to maintain their usual way of life, since the five-story buildings being resettled are a five-minute walk from the new building,” added the Minister of the Moscow Government, head of the capital’s Department of Urban Development Policy.

    Vladislav Ovchinsky.

    Earlier, the Mayor of Moscow spoke about resettlement under the renovation program inKhoroshevo-Mnevniki.

    Renovation program approved in August 2017. It concerns about a million Muscovites and provides for the resettlement of 5,176 houses. Sergei Sobyanin ordered to increase the pace of implementation of the renovation program intwice.

    Moscow is one of the leaders among regions in terms of construction volumes. High rates of housing construction correspond to the goals and initiatives of the national project “Infrastructure for life”.

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    The specialists of the city economy complex will improve more than 80 popular places in different areas of the capital. This was reported by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Housing and Public Utilities and Improvement Petr Biryukov.

    “This year, work is planned to improve 83 iconic sites, these are parks, squares, boulevards, plazas and public spaces located near points of attraction – metro stations, shopping centers, medical institutions, schools and kindergartens. The bulk of the work will take place outside the central part of the city, because the main task is to create comfortable conditions for each resident,” noted Petr Biryukov.

    Thus, the public space near the Ivanovskie ponds in the Ivanovskoye district, the area around the Church of the Holy Blessed Grand Duke Dmitry Donskoy in Severnoye Butovo, the Central Park in Vnukovo, the Pionersky Park in Fili-Davydkovo, and the Dubrava Park in Kurkino will be improved.

    In addition, it is planned to renovate part of the 850th Anniversary of Moscow Park in the southeast of the city, as well as the area near the Izyutinsky Pond, Simferopolsky and Chernomorsky Boulevards in the Southern Administrative District.

    Specialists will repair pedestrian paths, plant lawns and flower beds, equip sports and children’s playgrounds, and arrange places for quiet recreation. As a result, this fall, millions of Muscovites will receive modern, comfortable spaces near their homes, workplaces, and schools.

    Uniform standards for improvement have been developed for all objects – from courtyards, parks, squares to the territories of educational and health care institutions. This allows each resident to have the necessary infrastructure for sports, leisure with children and recreation in green areas within walking distance.

    Improvement of the Vinogradovo estate in north-east Moscow has begunMore than 700 streets in Moscow will be improved by the end of the year

    An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    On August 1, the Moscow — Kind City grant school will open free training for teams of socially oriented non-profit organizations (NPOs). During the classes, participants will learn how to write effective applications for the Moscow — Kind City grant competition of the capital Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population, how to plan a budget, promote your product and build the right communication strategy with the city.

    Classes will begin on August 1 and will run until September 11. The detailed program is available atwebsite. A separate registration is required to participate. registration for each block of the program.

    The training will include seven modules and will be held in two formats at once – in-person and online. During the first lesson, experts and specialists of the competition will meet the participants and tell them about the upcoming program. In addition, there will be a master class on social design, during which students will learn how to build a project architecture and correctly set goals, and will also analyze the main mistakes when writing applications for the competition.

    In the following classes, participants will learn how to correctly assess the prospects of a project’s impact on society and assemble a proactive team. They will learn how to plan and seek funding for the implementation of their initiatives, as well as attract media support. Specialists will show how to correctly fill out an application for participation in a competition in the information system and answer the most frequently asked questions.

    Speakers include experienced representatives of the non-profit sector and communications professionals, as well as competition experts.

    The organizers emphasize that the grant school “Moscow – a kind city” is a modern educational space, training in it is aimed at the formation of relevant social projects and the exchange of experience between key representatives of the non-profit sector and start-up organizations in this area. To improve the efficiency and comprehensiveness of training, not only managers are invited to the school, but also the entire project team – program managers, financial managers, PR specialists, grant writers and fundraisers. The curriculum is improved and updated every year to meet the demands of the time and new challenges.

    Program “Moscow is a kind city” has been implemented in the capital since 2019. This is an effective model of partnership between the city and the charitable sector to provide targeted assistance to each person. One of its key projects is a grant competition for socially oriented NPOs. Over six years, 648 projects of non-profit organizations have become winners, between which 2.4 billion rubles were distributed.

    The city’s property support enables charitable organizations to increase the availability of services for Muscovites. The capital has provided the non-profit sector with 53 equipped spaces with a total area of over 13,000 square meters free of charge. In them, charitable organizations and foundations can work without worrying about finding an office and funds to pay rent.

    As Sergei Sobyanin noted indevelopment strategies for the social protection system of Moscow until 2030, the synergy between the work of city services and NGOs allows us to provide support to the maximum number of residents in need.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Man convicted for murdering a stranger on a night out in east London

    Source: United Kingdom London Metropolitan Police

    An investigation by Met detectives has secured a murder conviction against a man who attacked a stranger on a night out in east London.

    Hamza Kamali, 29, was found guilty at the Old Bailey on Tuesday 22 July of murdering 38-year-old Saley Beya outside a nightclub in Romford Road E7 in the early hours of Saturday, 10 August 2024.

    Detective Superintendent Kelly Allen, Specialist Crime North, said: “Saley’s family and loved ones have endured incredible pain and suffering over this past year and I am thinking of them today as they process this outcome.

    “Kamali’s actions that night were violent and deliberate. He went out armed with a knife – clearly intent on causing harm. We will never know what prompted his interaction with Saley, but it is clear he is a very dangerous individual with little regard for human life and I’m pleased the jury were able to recognise the threat he poses to the public.”

    On the evening of Friday, 9 August Saley and his friends had attended a party in Stratford before deciding to continue their evening at a nightclub, arriving at the Romford Road venue at about 02.30hrs.

    Around an hour later they were all outside when an altercation took place between one of Saley’s friends and a group of men who were known to Kamali. Shortly after, Kamali arrived at the scene and following a brief interaction with the victim the situation escalated into violence and Kamali stabbed Saley in the leg.

    Saley was able to run from the scene, but he was pursued by Kamali who kicked out at him several times as he tried to get away from him. Eventually giving up his pursuit, Kamali returned to Romford Road, before leaving the scene with others.

    Meanwhile Saley had succumbed to his wound and collapsed in the street. Emergency services attended and paramedics attempted to stem the bleeding, but Saley went into cardiac arrest on his way to hospital. He remained in a critical condition for nearly three weeks before sadly dying on 29 August.

    Following the incident, Kamali returned to his home address. After 30 minutes he reappeared from the property wearing different clothes and carrying a full plastic bag which he was then seen to discard. That bag was never recovered.

    After Kamali’s arrest on 16 August a search of his home led to the discovery of a pair of bloodstained trainers – later identified to be his own. He had a noticeable injury to his hand – a wound CCTV had shown him tending to with a tissue in the immediate aftermath of the stabbing. Blood from this injury was also found at the crime scene. It is believed he injured himself with his knife in the course of attacking Saley.

    Kamali (03.04.96), who is of Henniker Road, Stratford was convicted of murder and possession of an offensive weapon. He is due to appear at the same court for sentencing on Thursday, 24 July.

    + Abdi Ulusow, 28 (03.09.96), of Hathaway Crescent E12 and Edson Bernardo, 26 (10.07.99), of Carlton Avenue, Westcliff-on-Sea appeared at the Old Bailey on 3 July where they pleaded guilty to affray and possession of an offensive weapon (machete and pole) in connection with the incident. Both will also be sentenced at the same court on 24 July.

    2025 FIRST-HALF BUSINESS

    FULL-YEAR REVENUES EXPECTED TO EXCEED €40M

    Bezons, July 23, 2025 – 8:00am – RIBER, the global leader in Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) equipment for the semiconductor industry, reports its revenues for the first half of 2025.

    Business developments

    At June 30 (€m) 2025 2024 Change
    Systems 7.8 9.4 -17%
    Services and accessories 3.0 4.3 -31%
    Total half-year revenues 10.7 13.7 -22%

    In a complex international environment, RIBER continues to demonstrate the resilience of its business model and the appeal of its technology offering.

    The Company reiterates that its business activity is subject to seasonal trends, with revenue structurally lower in the first half of the year.

    As of June 30, 2025, first-half revenues amounted to €10.7m, down 22% compared with the same period in 2024.

    Systems revenues totaled €7.8m, down 17%, reflecting the delivery schedule agreed with customers for systems on order in 2025. This corresponds to the delivery of three machines, including two production systems, compared with three production systems in the same period last year.

    Revenues for services and accessories came to €3.0m, down 31%, primarily due to a temporary decline in research-related orders, particularly in the United States, against a backdrop of tighter budgets in universities and research laboratories.

    The geographical breakdown of half-year revenues was as follows: Europe (15%), Asia (70%) and North America (13%).

    Order book developments

    At June 30 (€m) 2025 2024 Change
    Systems 22.5 30.2 -25%
    Services and accessories 5.2 5.8 -11%
    Total order book 27.7 36.0 -23%

    Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions and regulatory constraints, RIBER maintained strong commercial momentum during the first half of 2025.
    The Company secured five new system orders, including the first order for ROSIE, its new 300 mm silicon photonics platform, which recently entered its industrialization phase.

    As of June 30, 2025, the systems order book stood at €22.5m, down 25% from the high base in the first half of 2024. It includes nine systems, of which six are production machines. This change is mainly due to the denial of two export licenses, representing €4m in unbooked orders, and longer license approval timelines, which delayed the booking of already-identified orders.

    The services and accessories order book is down 11% to €5.2m.

    Outlook

    RIBER anticipates an improvement in order intake during the second half of the year, driven by major global investment programs in the semiconductor industry.

    The Company also expects to benefit from the ramp-up of its ROSIE platform, a breakthrough technology in silicon-based integrated photonics. Following the signing of a strategic partnership with the Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP) and the first unit sale, RIBER aims to leverage growing interest from both research institutions and industrial players for solutions compatible with silicon fabrication lines.

    While short-term momentum in research-related services and accessories remains uncertain, the systems business is expected to remain broadly stable in 2025. These elements do not undermine the Company’s strong fundamentals.

    Given the current order book for delivery this year and the upcoming business opportunities, RIBER expects to generate full-year revenue of over €40m in 2025.

    Financial calendar

    First-half 2025 results will be published on September 25, 2025, before the start of trading.

  • MIL-OSI: CoinShares Asset Management Becomes First Continental European Regulated Asset Manager to Receive MiCA Authorisation

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    First major European asset manager to combine MiCA, MiFID, and AIFM authorisations – creating new investment possibilities across €33 trillion European asset management market

    23 July 2025 | SAINT HELIER, Jersey | CoinShares International Limited (“CoinShares” or “the Group”) (Nasdaq Stockholm: CS; US OTCQX: CNSRF), the European leading investment company specialising in digital assets with over $9 billion in assets under management, today announced its French subsidiary, CoinShares Asset Management, has received authorisation under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) Regulation, making it the first continental European regulated asset management company to achieve this milestone.

    This authorisation positions CoinShares as the only asset management firm in continental Europe to hold a rare triple regulatory license combination, enabling comprehensive investment services across all asset classes throughout the European Union:

    • AIFM License – Alternative Investment Fund Management and delegated UCITS management
    • MiFID License – Portfolio management and investment advice on traditional financial instruments
    • MiCA Authorisation – Portfolio management and advice on crypto-assets

    Setting New Standards for Professional Crypto Asset Management

    The MiCA authorisation enables CoinShares to provide institutional-grade portfolio management services across all asset classes and investment vehicle types throughout the EU, with operations currently passported in France, Germany, Cyprus, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, and the Netherlands, with possibility to extend across all EU member states.

    This regulatory achievement directly addresses a critical gap in the European crypto investment landscape, where many platforms present themselves as asset managers without the proper licensing, organisational structure, or necessary separation of duties between custody, administration, execution, and portfolio management functions.

    Jean-Marie Mognetti, Co-Founder and CEO of CoinShares commented: “Receiving MiCA authorisation from the AMF is a pivotal milestone, not just for CoinShares, but for the entire European digital asset industry. For too long, asset managers operating in crypto have been confined to partial or improvised regulatory frameworks. With MiCA, we now have a clear, harmonised structure across the EU, and CoinShares is proud to be the first in continental Europe to meet that standard as a fully regulated asset manager.

    This authorisation sends a strong signal: crypto is here to stay and it belongs within a professional, transparent, and investor-centric regulatory environment. CoinShares has always believed that innovation and regulation can go hand in hand. As a publicly listed company, our commitment to governance, accountability, and excellence is now matched by a regulatory foundation that enables us to serve our clients across all asset classes, from traditional to digital.”

    Unique Market Position

    The comprehensive regulatory framework positions the Group as the only firm in continental Europe capable of:

    • Providing genuine professional active management services across both traditional and digital assets
    • Offering services through clients’ preferred platforms with proper segregation of custody and management duties
    • Delivering institutional-grade portfolio management with EU regulatory oversight
    • Serving as a regulated counterparty for institutional investors requiring compliance with fiduciary standards

    About CoinShares

  • MIL-Evening Report: Gaza – an open question for NZ’s foreign minister Winston Peters

    OPEN QUESTION: By Bryan Bruce

    Dear Rt Hon Winston Peters,

    There was a time when New Zealanders stood up for what was morally right. There are memorials around our country for those who died fighting fascism, we wrote parts of the UN Charter of Human Rights, we took an anti-nuclear stance in 1984, and three years prior to that, many of us stood against apartheid in South Africa by boycotting South African products and actively protesting against the 1981 Springbok Rugby Tour.

    To call out the Israeli government for genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not to be antisemitic. Nor is it to be pro- Hamas. It is to simply to be pro-human.

    While acknowledging the peace and humanitarian initiatives on the Foreign Affairs website, I note there is no calling out of the genocide and ethnic cleansing that cannot be denied is happening in Gaza.

    The Israeli government is systematically demolishing whole towns and cities — including churches, mosques, even removing trees and vegetation — to deprive the Palestinian people the opportunity to return to their homeland; and there have been constant blocks to humanitarian aid as part of a policy forced starvation.

    There is no doubt crimes against international law have been committed, which is why the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague has issued warrants for the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, his former defence minister, for alleged crimes against humanity.

    So, my question to you is: why are you not pictured standing in this photograph (below) alongside the representatives from 33 nations at the July 16 2025 Gaza emergency conference in Bogotá?

    The nations that took part in the Gaza emergency summit in were:

    Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, Colombia, South Africa, Bolivia, Cuba, Honduras, Malaysia, Namibia, Algeria, Bangladesh, Botswana, Brazil, Chile, China, Djibouti, Indonesia, Iraq, Ireland, Lebanon, Libya, Mexico, Nicaragua, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Qatar, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Uruguay and Venezuela.

    Representatives from 33 nations at the July 16 2025 Gaza emergency conference in Bogotá. Image: bryanbruce.substack.com

    Is your policy simply to fall in behind the USA denying there is genocide and ethnic cleansing happening in Gaza?

    If not, are you prepared to endorse the six coordinated diplomatic, legal and economic measures already signed up to by 12 of the participating countries in the Bogetà summit, to restrain Israel’s assault on the Occupied Palestinian Territories and defend international law at large?

    Remaining countries, which could still include New Zealand, have a deadline of September 20, to coincide with the 80th UN General Assembly, for additional states to join them.

    The 6 agreed measures are:
     Prevent the provision or transfer of arms, munitions, military fuel, related military equipment, and dual-use items to Israel.

    Prevent the transit, docking, and servicing of vessels at any port
     in all cases where there is a clear risk of the vessel being used to carry arms, munitions, military fuel, related military equipment, and dual-use items to Israel

    Prevent the carriage of arms, munitions, military fuel, related military equipment, and dual-use items to Israel on vessels bearing our flag . . .  and ensure full accountability, including de-flagging, for non-compliance with this prohibition.

    Commence an urgent review of all public contracts, to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation of the Palestinian Territory and entrenching its unlawful presence.

    Comply with obligations to ensure accountability for the most serious crimes under international law, through robust, impartial and independent investigations and prosecutions at national or international levels, to ensure justice for all victims and the prevention of future crimes.

    Support universal jurisdiction mandates, as and where applicable in national legal frameworks and judiciaries, to ensure justice for victims of international crimes committed in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

    In addition, are you prepared to specifically support the enforcement of the International Criminal Court arrest warrants issued last year for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, his former defence minister, for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza including murder and forced starvation, in a war that has left more than 211,000 Palestinians, including many children, dead, maimed, or missing since October 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry? (That’s a figure that is approximately the entire population of Hamiton and Rotorua).

    What then is the NZ government’s policy? Are we going to support International Law and call out the Israeli government’s acts of genocide in Gaza, or not?

    Yours sincerely,

    Is your policy simply to fall in behind the USA denying there is genocide and ethnic cleansing happening in Gaza?

    If not, are you prepared to endorse the six coordinated diplomatic, legal and economic measures already signed up to by 12 of the participating countries in the Bogetà summit, to restrain Israel’s assault on the Occupied Palestinian Territories and defend international law at large?

    Remaining countries, which could still include New Zealand, have a deadline of September 20, to coincide with the 80th UN General Assembly, for additional states to join them.

    The 6 agreed measures are:
     Prevent the provision or transfer of arms, munitions, military fuel, related military equipment, and dual-use items to Israel.

    Prevent the transit, docking, and servicing of vessels at any port
     in all cases where there is a clear risk of the vessel being used to carry arms, munitions, military fuel, related military equipment, and dual-use items to Israel

    Prevent the carriage of arms, munitions, military fuel, related military equipment, and dual-use items to Israel on vessels bearing our flag . . .  and ensure full accountability, including de-flagging, for non-compliance with this prohibition.

    Commence an urgent review of all public contracts, to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation of the Palestinian Territory and entrenching its unlawful presence.

    Comply with obligations to ensure accountability for the most serious crimes under international law, through robust, impartial and independent investigations and prosecutions at national or international levels, to ensure justice for all victims and the prevention of future crimes.

    Support universal jurisdiction mandates, as and where applicable in national legal frameworks and judiciaries, to ensure justice for victims of international crimes committed in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

    In addition, are you prepared to specifically support the enforcement of the International Criminal Court arrest warrants issued last year for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, his former defence minister, for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes in Gaza including murder and forced starvation, in a war that has left more than 211,000 Palestinians, including many children, dead, maimed, or missing since October 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry? (That’s a figure that is approximately the entire population of Hamiton and Rotorua).

    What then is the NZ government’s policy? Are we going to support International Law and call out the Israeli government’s acts of genocide in Gaza, or not?

    Yours sincerely,

    BRUSSELS, July 23 (Xinhua) — Senior European Union officials on Tuesday strongly condemned the killing of civilians in lines for humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, warning Israel to uphold its commitments on aid access and comply with international law.

    “The killing of civilians waiting for humanitarian aid in Gaza is unforgivable,” EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas wrote on social media X. She said she had spoken to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar to remind him of how the EU understands aid and to demand that the Israeli military stop killing people at distribution points.

    “We do not rule out any options if Israel does not fulfill its obligations,” she added.

    European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen shared those concerns, calling the situation in Gaza “unbearable” and stressing that civilians must never be targeted.

    “The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and rapid flow of humanitarian aid, with full respect for international and humanitarian law,” she wrote on the social network X. “The civilian population of Gaza has suffered too much and for too long. This must stop now. Israel must live up to its obligations,” added U. von der Leyen.

    The comments come amid a series of deadly incidents in the Gaza Strip. Health authorities in the enclave said Israeli forces opened fire on civilians waiting for aid distribution on Sunday, killing at least 85 people. Six more were killed in a separate incident in Rafah. –0–

    It is noted that the UN Security Council is ready to use the mechanism provided for in Article 34 of the UN Charter, which gives it the authority to investigate any dispute or any situation that could lead to international friction in order to determine whether the continuation of the dispute could threaten international peace and security.

    Resolution 2788 reaffirms the role of the UN Security Council in recommending appropriate procedures or methods of settlement for the peaceful settlement of disputes and calls upon Member States to take the necessary measures to effectively implement UN Security Council instruments on the peaceful settlement of disputes.

    The UN Secretary-General is called upon to ensure the organization’s ability to lead and support mediation and preventive diplomacy efforts, the resolution says. It also calls on the Secretary-General to continue to provide his good offices and on Member States to support and cooperate with the UN chief in this regard.

    The Security Council urged regional and subregional organizations to intensify efforts to peacefully resolve disputes in accordance with the UN Charter and relevant Security Council resolutions, and member states to support the role of regional and subregional organizations in this regard. The document calls for strengthening cooperation between the aforementioned organizations and the UN.

    Within a year, the UN Secretary-General must present concrete recommendations for further strengthening mechanisms for the peaceful settlement of disputes, the resolution says. –0–

    VLADIVOSTOK, July 23 (Xinhua) — A ceremony to mark the launch of a Chinese-Russian scientific expedition to the Bering Sea and the northwestern Pacific Ocean was held here on Tuesday.

    An expedition on the research vessel /NIS/ “Akademik M.A. Lavrentyev” departs from Vladivostok on Wednesday. Scientists from the V.I. Ilychev Pacific Oceanological Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences /POI FEB RAS/ and the First Institute of Oceanography of the Ministry of Natural Resources of the People’s Republic of China /PIO MNR/ will conduct research in the Bering Sea and the northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean for 45 days.

    Acting Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Vladivostok Wang Jun delivered a speech at the ceremony. According to him, the joint scientific expedition will focus on paleoceanography, paleoclimatology and ecosystem studies. The results will help humanity better understand the patterns of climate evolution in the Arctic Ocean and the North Pacific Ocean, and provide a key scientific basis for predicting future environmental changes. He noted that against the backdrop of deepening economic globalization and regional integration, the resumption of Sino-Russian scientific expeditions demonstrates the shared responsibility of the two countries in addressing global climate change and exploring cutting-edge marine science.

    Director of the Pacific Oceanological Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Denis Makarov emphasized that this voyage of the research vessel Akademik M. A. Lavrentyev will be the first after more than three years of modernization of the vessel. This is also the first expedition of the Pacific Oceanological Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the PIO MNR after the forced break caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which is important for increasing cooperation between the two parties.

    The general management of the expedition is carried out by Alexander Anatolyevich Bosin, leading researcher of the laboratory of paleoceanology and paleoclimatology of the Pacific Oceanological Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The co-leader from the Chinese side is Zou Jianjun, leading researcher of the laboratory of marine geology and geophysics of the PIO MPR. The expedition includes 25 scientists, including five from China.

    The expedition will collect samples of bottom sediments, volcanic ash, zoo- and phytoplankton in the Pacific Ocean and the Bering Sea. In the ship’s laboratories, scientists will conduct research to assess the degree of response of the marine environment to past and current climate changes, including those associated with growing economic activity in the region. –0–

He added that Indian companies operating in the UK have been “largely satisfied” with market access.

    Doraiswami noted that while the core negotiations on the FTA were concluded in May, certain formalities remain. “The main negotiations have concluded, but some paperwork is still pending,” he said, adding that the process, known as ‘legal scrubbing,’ ensures the agreement is legally sound and all documents are in order.
