  • MIL-OSI China: UK economy beats expectations in Q1, but challenges loom ahead

    The UK economy in the first quarter of 2025 has exceeded market expectations with GDP rising by 0.7 percent quarter on quarter, showed data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on Thursday.

    Earlier figures indicated stagnation in January and a 0.5-percent increase in February, and anticipated zero growth in March. However, the latest data revealed a 0.2-percent rise in March, lifting the overall quarterly result.

    The service sector, the primary engine of growth, recorded a 0.7-percent increase, rebounding from just 0.1 percent in the final quarter of 2024, with wholesale, retail, transport and communications services making notable contributions.

    Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the British Retail Consortium, said that falling shop price indices have been good news for UK households and that declining food prices and fierce competition among retailers helped bring down overall prices, supporting the continued growth of the services sector in the first quarter.

    British manufacturing also surprised markets in the first quarter of 2025, ending three consecutive quarters of decline. According to the ONS, the rebound was largely driven by growth in the automotive and machinery sectors, with machinery manufacturing up 3.8 percent quarter on quarter and transport equipment production rising 2.7 percent. Analysts noted that a surge in output in February was likely due to firms rushing to ship goods ahead of new U.S. tariffs.

    The construction sector, however, remained stagnant, showing no growth compared to the previous quarter and even hinting at a potential contraction.

    The stronger-than-expected economic growth in the first quarter of 2025 has eased pressure on the UK government. Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves said the results reflected the strength and potential of the UK economy, yet acknowledged that there is still much work to be done.

    This growth, however, was recorded before new U.S. tariffs on UK goods took effect, the impact of which will become evident in the second quarter. Domestically, higher National Insurance rates, increases in the minimum wage and price hikes in some social services have prompted industry groups and research institutions to caution that the first quarter’s performance may be short-lived. The 0.2-percent GDP growth in March was already a noticeable slowdown from February’s 0.5 percent, suggesting tougher challenges ahead.

    Stuart Morrison, research director at the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), noted that the 0.7-percent growth exceeded expectations, driven by strong performances in services and manufacturing. However, he cautioned that the impact of higher National Insurance and global trade tensions has yet to surface in the data, warning that the real challenges are still to come.

    Ben Jones, an economist at the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), said the unexpected growth in March was largely a rebound from February, but the strong GDP growth in the first quarter is likely a temporary phenomenon. He warned that with employment costs set to rise significantly following the autumn budget, UK businesses remain cautious about hiring and investment, and additionally, global economic uncertainty continues to threaten the UK’s recovery.

    Several economic research institutions have recently lowered their UK growth forecasts for 2025. Earlier this month, the Bank of England projected that the UK economy would grow by only 1 percent this year.

    Given this backdrop, some UK research institutions have pointed out that maintaining and boosting economic growth will require stronger ties with the EU, positioning it as a key trading partner. The two sides scheduled a summit for May 19 to address several trade management issues, and institutions urged the UK government to take the opportunity to strengthen relations.

    Noting that the ripple effects of U.S. tariffs are still reverberating through the global trade system and prompting responses from various countries, BCC Director General Shevaun Haviland said Britain and the EU must send a clear signal that open and fair trade is in both sides’ best interests. She stressed that the upcoming summit must go beyond empty talk and clearly demonstrate a genuine commitment to improving trade relations.

    Meanwhile, the upcoming industrial policies are also drawing attention. “The UK government is expected to release a series of notable policies in the coming weeks, including an industrial strategy and a ten-year infrastructure plan,” said Anna Leach, chief economist at the Institute of Directors. “These could offer businesses a way out of the current difficulties and provide a clearer view of the UK’s economic direction.”

  • MIL-OSI China: Jiangsu pockets sixth straight China’s national gymnastics men’s team title

    Jiangsu underlined its dominance in gymnastics as world champions You Hao and Su Wei led the team to its sixth consecutive men’s team title at the National Gymnastics Championships on Saturday.

    Jiangsu, a traditional powerhouse in men’s gymnastics, had stumbled to second place behind Hunan during the qualification stage of the tournament held in Nanning, capital of south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.

    “It was the first time that Hunan beat us in national championships. We were not in form at that time — everybody was like daydreaming,” joked You after Jiangsu won the final with 323.392 points. “We woke up just in time, though not in our best form.”

    Jiangsu’s Youth Olympic champion Yin Dehang injured his shoulder before the final. He competed on floor and rings but was taken to the hospital after the award ceremony.

    “Our top priority is this year’s National Games, so our coach decided to protect Yin and put me on pommel horse today. I hope we can put ourselves together and present a great show in November,” said You.

    Under the new code of points for 2025 to 2028, several changes have been introduced in the evaluation system. The most notable adjustment is that the difficulty value of a routine is now calculated from the top eight, rather than ten, highest-value elements.

    “I think the change came too late for me. Because it’s very friendly to the veterans like me. We can focus more on the landings and qualities of every movement,” said You.

    Hunan’s men’s team, led by China’s top all-around gymnast Zhang Boheng, made two early mistakes in the opening round. Zhang required medical attention for his neck after completing his rings routine in the third round.

    “I injured my neck in rings training just one day before our departure, so I can hardly bend my head on floor, parallel bars and pommel horse. It’s a huge blow for us,” said Zhang, who helped his team fight back to finish second with 316.492 points.

    Guangdong edged out local favorite Guangxi for the final podium spot by a margin of nearly one point.

    This year’s championships also serve as a qualifier for the National Games, with the top 12 teams earning berths.

    “We still get chances for the national title in November. These championships is a warm-up for us. We will definitely push ourselves to the limit to win the title,” said Zhang.

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: New and improved urgent and after-hours healthcare

    Source: NZ Music Month takes to the streets

    Kiwis needing urgent health care will benefit from a big funding boost for urgent and after-hours healthcare services across New Zealand, Health Minister Simeon Brown says.

    “Strengthening urgent and after-hours care is an important part of our Government’s plan to ensure all New Zealanders have access to timely, quality healthcare,” Mr Brown says.

    “Budget 2025 is investing $164 million over four years to expand urgent and after-hours healthcare services across the country. This means 98 per cent of New Zealanders will be able to receive in-person urgent care within one hour’s drive of their homes.

    The funding will establish a new 24-hour urgent care service identified for Counties Manukau. It will also support:
     

    • New 24-hour urgent care services identified for larger provincial centres, including Whangārei, Palmerston North, Tauranga and Dunedin.
    • New and extended daytime urgent care services identified in other provincial cities and towns, including in Lower Hutt, Invercargill and Timaru.
    • Maintaining all existing urgent and after-hours healthcare services across the country.
    • Better after-hour services in remote rural locations with 24/7 on-call support to deliver enhanced services.

    “Around 5,000 New Zealanders visit urgent care clinics every day, but the availability of after-hours services has declined in recent years, and access remains variable across the country.

    “Making it easier to see a doctor or nurse is a key priority for this Government. We’re taking action to ensure Kiwis can access the care they need, when and where they need it.

    “Our investment will also support more timely care, reducing pressure on emergency departments, and improving outcomes for patients.

    “Urgent care supports patients with non-life-threatening injuries or medical problems not severe enough to require emergency department care, but who can’t wait until the following day for medical attention.

    “Expanding community-based urgent care will help ease pressure on hospitals and keep emergency departments wait times down for those with the most serious conditions.

    “It also gives people more choice, particularly in rural and remote areas where options have been limited.”

    This investment builds on the Government’s comprehensive primary care package announced in March, including:
     

    • 100 clinical placements for overseas-trained doctors
    • Recruitment incentives for up to 400 graduate nurses annually for five years
    • 100 additional doctor training places over the course of this Government
    • Up to 50 graduate doctors training in primary care annually
    • Up to 120 training places for nurse practitioners in primary care
    • Accelerated tertiary education for up to 120 primary care nurses
    • A $285 million uplift to funding over three years for general practice from 1 July, in addition to the capitation uplift general practice receives annually
    • Better access to 24/7 digital services.

    “This Government is investing more in health than ever before, with a record $16.68 billion over three Budgets to improve health outcomes for Kiwis.

    “Today’s announcement will ensure more consistent access to urgent care across the country, so all New Zealanders can get timely, quality healthcare when and where they need it.”

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Save the Children says Budget 2025 must commit to improving children’s wellbeing

    Source: Save the Children

    Ahead of this week’s Budget announcement, Save the Children is calling on the Government to provide greater investment in children following a damning report showing New Zealand ranks among the lowest countries in the OECD for child wellbeing and mental health.

    UNICEF’s global report card – released this week – shows New Zealand ranks 32nd out of 36 wealthy countries analysed for children’s wellbeing, while also highlighting New Zealand has the highest youth suicide rate among the 36 -nearly three times the average-and ranks last for child and youth mental health. It also shows that bullying remains a widespread issue, with New Zealand posting the second-highest rate of bullying among children.

    Other reports from Save the Children’s own climate modelling showing the impact of climate change on children’s lives, alongside Government statistics, show children’s wellbeing, including their physical and mental health, basic needs including food security, housing and access to healthcare are under threat.

    Additionally, a report released by the Auditor-General, revealed that child-informed budget decisions are critical if we are to avoid harming already vulnerable children and families due to cuts to funding of critical services.

    “Government budget decisions have a direct impact on the lives and wellbeing of every New Zealander,” says Save the Children New Zealand’s Advocacy and Research Director Jacqui Southey.

    “It’s clear that greater investment is needed to improve the wellbeing of our children. If New Zealand is to have a prosperous future, we need to invest to ensure our children live good lives now and have bright futures to look forward to.

    “New Zealand ranking the worst in the world for youth suicides is devasting. Greater government investment in child health, wellbeing and the essentials they need to live good lives now is critical. We need to ensure that as a nation we are making funding decisions that improve the lives of our children and families.”

    Ms Southey says investing in children also means investing in families to ensure they have liveable incomes, healthy and affordable housing, enough healthy food and access to quality healthcare and education for all ages. These are the foundations of a healthy thriving society.

    “The grim reality for many New Zealand families living on the lowest incomes is that they are struggling to afford the very basics. The high cost of housing, food, and electricity, combined with growing unemployment particularly for youth, increased numbers of avoidable hospital admissions and rising child poverty levels are all worrying signs that life is very tough for thousands of New Zealand families, and it is those families who will struggle most in the event of a climate emergency.

    “Targeted investment is needed in ensuring liveable incomes for all families, alongside a greater focus on climate emissions reduction and investing in climate resilient child-critical services.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: Wilson Post Office Dedicated in Honor of Milton F. Fitch, Sr.

    WILSON, N.C. – Congressman Don Davis (NC-01) and the United States Postal Service hosted a dedication ceremony Saturday, May 17, at Wilson Community College to rename the Wilson Post Office in honor of Milton F. Fitch Sr., a World War II veteran, community leader and pioneering postal worker whose legacy helped transform eastern North Carolina.

    The renaming followed the passage of legislation sponsored by Congressman Don Davis and signed into law by former President Joe Biden on January 2, 2025. H.R. 6750, which secured the support of the entire North Carolina delegation, officially designated the federal facility at 501 Mercer Street Southwest in Wilson as the “Milton F. Fitch, Sr. Post Office Building.”

    “Milton F. Fitch, Sr. is a remarkable and key figure in eastern North Carolina’s history. He devoted his life to serving our country and community,” said Congressman Davis. “Renaming this post office honors a letter carrier who broke barriers, inspired others, and left a lasting impact on Wilson and North Carolina.” 

    Fitch’s history was deeply rooted in service to his country. He served in World War II and played a key role with the Red Ball Express, a massive truck convoy that delivered supplies to Allied troops. After returning home, he became a letter carrier in Wilson with the postal service, paving the way for future generations. 

    Beyond his postal career, Fitch dedicated his life to advocacy. As lead plaintiff in a lawsuit, he successfully compelled the City of Wilson to pave 23 miles of unpaved roads in African-American neighborhoods.

    “This naming of the Wilson Post Office is a recognition of Milton Fitch, Sr.’s service to our country during World War II and his groundbreaking advocacy for civil and voting rights during a very difficult moment of American history,” said former Congressman G.K. Butterfield. “Mr. Fitch was the letter carrier in the Wilson community during my childhood. We all loved and respected him. I extend my deep appreciation to Congressman Don Davis for his commitment to this naming and his stellar work in obtaining unanimous support from the entire North Carolina delegation.”

    Fitch also held leadership roles in numerous fraternal and community organizations, including the Prince Hall Masons, where he was elected Most Worshipful Grand Master in North Carolina.

    His wife, Cora Whitted Fitch, was also a passionate community leader, a dedicated educator, and was elected to the Board of County Commissioners. Together, they raised five children; Dr. Jerome Fitch, retired NC Superior Court Judge Milton “Toby” Fitch, Jr., the late Attorney Patricia Maria Fitch, Dr. Christine Fitch, and Dr. Ernestine Fitch, M.D., whom followed in their footsteps with careers in public service, education, and healthcare.

    “My family and I are very pleased and happy for my father to be recognized in this fashion,” said Milton F. “Toby” Fitch, Jr., son of Milton F. Fitch, Sr., retired NC Superior Court Judge, and former NC State Senator. “Words cannot express it. To us, recognizing him and having an institution such as the main Post Office in Wilson, where my father worked, means so much. We thank Congressman Don Davis for honoring my father this way.”

    Milton F. Fitch, Sr. passed on November 2, 1995. The dedication ceremony brought together elected officials, community members, and family to celebrate his life and legacy of service, leadership, and impact that will be forever embedded in the Wilson community.

    How Machine Learning Is Reshaping Operational Strategy and Financial Freedom for the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs

    OXFORD, United Kingdom, May 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ron Earley, Founder and CEO of Greywolfe Investing, will deliver a featured keynote at the EMBA Inspires event hosted by Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford on May 19, 2025. This year’s program focuses on Machine Learning Fundamentals, uniting global executives and Oxford’s Executive MBA alumni to explore how artificial intelligence is transforming modern leadership and business strategy.

    Earley’s keynote, titled “Scaling Smarter – AI, Strategy & the Amazon Wholesale Ecosystem,” will explore how artificial intelligence is transforming the Amazon FBA landscape. By drawing on real-world experience and case studies, he’ll show how wholesale sellers are using machine learning tools to overcome operational blind spots, optimize performance, and scale more strategically. From predictive analytics to dynamic pricing, the session will highlight how business leaders can unlock efficiency and growth by integrating AI at key points across their organizations.

    Earley will also challenge attendees to rethink how they structure teams, make decisions, and protect data as a strategic asset. His approach blends tactical insight with a long-term vision for responsible AI adoption, offering participants a rare look at how automation, culture, and clarity can combine to drive resilience in a volatile business environment.

    “AI isn’t just a tool, it’s a multiplier of talent, speed, and insight,” said Earley. “This keynote is about showing leaders how to move from reactive management to proactive strategy using real-world applications of machine learning.”

    Ron Earley brings a unique entrepreneurial journey to Oxford’s stage. From starting with just $36,000 in capital to building one of the fastest-growing Amazon FBA firms in the country, he has led Greywolfe Investing with a focus on transparency, automation, and operational excellence. His firm is headquartered next to Florida’s largest Amazon facility, employs over 100 professionals, and is a member of Amazon’s exclusive Service Provider Network.

    Through the keynote, Earley will share insights on overcoming human limitations in managing complex e-commerce data, identifying and integrating automation opportunities, and transitioning organizations from instinct-driven cultures to AI-literate, structured environments. The session will also touch on emerging technologies shaping the future of commerce, including voice interfaces, generative content, and ethical AI systems.

    Ron Earley’s participation in EMBA Inspires reflects a growing recognition of the role entrepreneurs play in shaping how advanced technologies are applied in the real world. His keynote will not only highlight the technical possibilities of machine learning, but also ground them in the lived experience of building a business from the ground up. As leaders across industries look to integrate AI more thoughtfully, Earley’s story offers a compelling reminder that innovation is most powerful when paired with clarity, strategy, and purpose.

    Rumford, ME – Today, U.S. Senator Susan Collins delivered remarks at a dedication and open house at the new Rumford fire station. The new station is dedicated to Peter Chase, a former Deputy Fire Chief and Town of Rumford Selectman who passed away in 2022. Members of the Chase family, including his wife Rhonda and his son, Auburn Fire Department Chief Bob Chase, were in attendance for the ceremony, which was held on the same day as Deputy Chief Chase’s birthday.
    “This is a celebration of more than a modern facility for firefighters. As we dedicate this building to Peter Chase, we honor an inspiring life of service,” said Senator Collins during her remarks. “From Deputy Fire Chief, to Selectman, to his work on several town and county commissions, Peter devoted himself to his community. This is a wonderfully touching way to mark what would have been Peter’s 72nd birthday.”
    “Rhonda, Bob, and all members of his wonderful family, please know that this new fire station is a fitting memorial to a remarkable example of the spirit of Maine,” she continued. “Bob, let me congratulate you for carrying on your father’s legacy in Auburn and for your recognition as Maine’s Fire Chief of the Year for 2024. That spirit lives on in the firefighters who selflessly put their lives on the line to protect our families, our homes, and our businesses.”
    After touring the old station—which was constructed in 1923—in May of 2022, Senator Collins secured $1 million in Congressionally Directed Spending to support the construction of the new station in the Fiscal Year 2022 omnibus appropriations package. The new station includes two additional bays and additional clearance for trucks, as well as a decontamination area, and sleeping space for the firefighters.
    Senator Collins has long been an advocate for Maine’s firefighters and first responders. Through her role on the Senate Appropriations Committee, she secured more than $31 million in Congressionally Directed Spending through the Fiscal Year 2024 appropriations process for projects across the state that will support local law enforcement, fire and rescue stations, and emergency response services.

He also spoke highly of China’s development achievements and its important role in international affairs, thanking the Chinese side for its long-standing and meaningful support for Tunisia’s socio-economic development.

    Moscow, May 17 /Xinhua/ — Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed the results of the talks in Istanbul in a telephone conversation on Saturday, according to a statement on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website.

    “On May 17, at the initiative of the American side, a telephone conversation took place between the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation S. V. Lavrov and the US Secretary of State M. Rubio,” the diplomatic department reported. “The heads of the foreign policy departments exchanged opinions on the results of the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations held the day before in Istanbul.”

    As indicated on Smolenskaya Square, M. Rubio “welcomed the agreements on the exchange of prisoners of war and on the preparation by each side of its vision of the conditions necessary for reaching a truce, and emphasized Washington’s readiness to continue to facilitate the search for a settlement.”

    S. Lavrov, in turn, “noted the positive role of the United States, which contributed to Kyiv ultimately accepting the proposal of Russian President V.V. Putin to resume the Istanbul negotiations,” and also confirmed Moscow’s readiness to continue working together with American colleagues in this context.

    “During the conversation, some other international and regional issues were also touched upon. The interlocutors exchanged opinions on the continuation of Russian-American contacts,” the Russian Foreign Ministry concluded.

    The talks between representatives of Russia and Ukraine that took place on Friday lasted almost two hours. Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky, who heads the Russian delegation, announced a large-scale prisoner exchange — 1,000 for 1,000 — with Ukraine. According to him, the parties agreed to present their vision of a possible future ceasefire. During the talks, the Ukrainian side requested a meeting of the heads of state, and Russia took this into account. V. Medinsky also stated Russia’s readiness to continue negotiations with Ukraine. –0–

    Moscow, May 17 /Xinhua/ — For now, the talk is about fulfilling the agreements that were discussed during the meeting on Friday, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said at a briefing on Saturday, speaking about the next round of talks between Russia and Ukraine.

    “For now, we need to do what the delegations were able to agree on yesterday. This, of course, first of all, is to carry out a 1000 for 1000 exchange, and exchange those basic lists of conditions that were discussed yesterday, and that my colleague Vladimir Medinsky spoke about yesterday,” D. Peskov told journalists, answering a question about when the next round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine is planned.

    “Indeed, we agreed to exchange lists of conditions for a ceasefire. The work continues, it is being done. The Russian side will prepare and hand over such a list, and will exchange it with the Ukrainian side,” D. Peskov noted, adding that “the negotiations are underway and should be held behind closed doors.”

    On Friday, Russian presidential aide Vladimir Medinsky said that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to detail their proposals for establishing a ceasefire during talks in Istanbul.

    Answering the question about whether the composition of the Russian delegation at the negotiations with Ukraine could be changed, D. Peskov stated that there is no talk of changing the composition of the Russian delegation at the negotiations with Ukraine, “the work has only just begun, it will continue.” In addition, he emphasized that “when signing documents that the delegation is to agree upon, the main and fundamental issue for us remains who exactly will sign these documents from the Ukrainian side.”

    Commenting on the possibility of a meeting between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine, Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky, the Kremlin spokesman told journalists that “many questions have been received on the topic of a possible meeting between the presidents of the two countries, Ukraine and Russia, Zelensky and Putin… Such a meeting as a result of the work of the delegations of the two sides upon reaching certain agreements between these delegations is possible. We consider it possible.”

    In conclusion, the Russian leader’s press secretary confirmed that there have been no contacts between the leaders of the Russian Federation and the United States, V. Putin and Donald Trump, since the talks in Istanbul. “If Presidents Putin and Trump deem it appropriate to hold a conversation, we will inform you,” D. Peskov said at a press conference. –0–

    A second man has been arrested in connection with a series of arson attacks in north London.

    The 26-year-old was arrested around 13:45hrs on Saturday, 17 May at London Luton Airport on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life.

    The arrest was made by counter terrorism officers from the Eastern Region Special Operations Unit. The man has been taken into police custody in London.

    The arrest relates to three incidents – a vehicle fire in NW5 on 8 May, a fire at the entrance of a property in N7 on 11 May and a fire at a residential address in NW5 in the early hours of 12 May.

    All have previous connections with a high-profile public figure, and therefore officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command have led the investigation into the fires.

  • MIL-Evening Report: ‘Cracks are opening up’ in Western complicity over Gaza genocide, says Minto

    Asia Pacific Report

    About 2000 New Zealand protesters marched through the heart of Auckland city today chanting “no justice, no peace” and many other calls as they demanded an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and an end to the Israeli atrocities in its brutal war on the besieged Palestinian enclave.

    For more than 73 days, Israel has blocked all food, water, and medicine from entering Gaza, creating a man-made crisis with the Strip on the brink of a devastating famine.

    Israel’s attacks killed more than 150 and wounded 450 in a day in a new barrage of attacks that aid workers described as “Gaza is bleeding before our eyes”.

    in Auckland, several Palestinian and other speakers spoke of the anguish and distress of the global Gaza community in the face of Western indifference to the suffering in a rally before the march marking the 77th anniversary of the Nakba — the “Palestinian catastrophe”.

    “There are cracks opening up all around the world that haven’t been there for 77 years,” said Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa (PSNA) co-chair John Minto in an inspired speech to the protesters.

    “Right through the news media, journalists are up in arms against their editors and bosses all around the world.

    “We’ve got politicians in Britain speaking out for the first time. Some conservative politician got standing up the other day saying, ‘I supported Israel right or wrong for 20 years, and I was wrong.’

    ‘The world is coming right’
    “Yet a lot of the world has been wrong for 77 years, but the world is coming right. We are on the right side of history, give us a big round of applause.”

    Minto was highly critical of the public broadcasters, Television New Zealand and Radio New Zealand, saying they relied too heavily on a narrow range of Western sources whose credibility had been challenged and eroded over the past 19 months.

    PSNA co-chair John Minto . . . .capturing an image of the march up Auckland’s Queen Street in protest over the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Image: APR

    He also condemned their “proximity” news value, blaming it for news editors’ lapse of judgment on news values because Israelis “spoke English”.

    Minto told the crowd that that they should be monitoring Al Jazeera for a more balanced and nuanced coverage of the war on Palestine.

    His comments echoed a similar theme of a speech at the Fickling Centre in Three Kings on Thursday night and protesters followed up by picketing the NZ Voyager Media Awards last night with a light show of killed Gazan journalists beamed on the hotel venue.

    About 230 Gazan journalists have been killed in the war so far, many of them allegedly targeted by the Israeli forces.

    Minto said he could not remember a previous time when a New Zealand government had remained silent in the face of industrial-scale killing of civilians anywhere in the world.

    “We have livestreamed genocide happening and we have our government refusing to condemn any of Israel’s war crimes,” he said.

    NZ ‘refusing to condemn war crimes’
    “Yet we’ve got everybody in the leadership of this government having condemned every act of Palestinian resistance yet refused to condemn the war crimes, refused to condemn the bombing of civilians, and refused to condemn the mass starvation of 2.3 million people.

    “What a bunch of depraved bastards run this country. Shame on all of them.”

    Palestinian speaker Samer Almalalha . . . “Everything we were told about international law and human rights is bullshit.” A golden key symbolising the right of return for Palestinians is in the background. Image: APR

    Palestinian speaker Samer Almalalha spoke of the 1948 Nakba and the injustices against his people.

    “Everything we were told about international law and human rights is bullshit. The only rights you have are the ones you take,” he said.

    “So today we won’t stand here to plead, we are here to remind you of what happened to us. We are here to take what is ours. Today, and every day, we fight for a free Palestine.”

    survivor

    and he told a harrowing story from his homeland. As a 14-year-old boy, he and his family were driven out of Palestine during the Nakba.

    He described “waking up to to the smell of gunpowder” — his home was close to the Deir Yassin massacre on April 9, 1948, when Zionist militias attacked the village killing 107 people, including women and children.

    ‘Palestine will be free – and so will we’
    Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick said: “What we stand for is truth, justice, peace and love.

    “Palestine will be free and, in turn, so will we.”

    She said only six more MPs were needed to have the numbers to have the Greens’ Unlawful Occupation of Palestine Sanctions Bill passed in Parliament.

    Israel has blocked all food, water, and medicine from entering Gaza, creating a man-made crisis, with the integrated food security agency IPC warning that famine could be declared any time between now and September, reports Al Jazeera.

    The head of the UN Children’s Fund, Catherine Russell, said the world should be shocked by the killing of 45 children in Israeli air strikes in just two days.

    Instead, the slaughter of children in Gaza is “largely met with indifference”.

    “More than 1 million children in Gaza are at risk of starvation. They are deprived of food, water and medicine,” Russell wrote in a post on social media.

    “Nowhere is safe for children in Gaza,” she said.

    “This horror must stop.”

    “The coloniser lied” . . . a placard in today’s Palestine rally in Auckland. Image: APR

    Famine worst level of hunger
    Famine is the worst level of hunger, where people face severe food shortages, widespread malnutrition, and high levels of death due to starvation.

    According to the UN’s criteria, famine is declared when:

    • At least 20 percent (one-fifth) of households face extreme food shortages;
    • More than 30 percent of children suffer from acute malnutrition; and
    • At least two out of every 10,000 people or four out of every 10,000 children die each day from starvation or hunger-related causes.

    Famine is not just about hunger; it is the worst humanitarian emergency, indicating a complete collapse of access to food, water and the systems necessary for survival.

    According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), since Israel’s complete blockade began on March 2, at least 57 children have died from the effects of malnutrition.

The engagement supported the first day of live-fire range operations during African Lion 2025 (AL25) and focused on improving tactical proficiency and small-unit lethality among partner forces. AL25, the largest annual military exercise in Africa, brings together over 50 nations, including seven NATO allies and 10,000 troops to conduct realistic, dynamic and collaborative training in an austere environment that intersects multiple geographic and functional combatant commands. Led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) on behalf of the U.S. Africa Command, AL25 takes place from April 14 to May 23, 2025, across Ghana, Morocco, Senegal, and Tunisia. This large-scale exercise will enhance our ability to work together in complex, multi-domain operations—preparing forces to deploy, fight and win.

    DODJI, Senegal — In the arid heat of Centre d’Entraînement Tactique 2 (CET2), Soldiers assigned to Maneuver Advisory Team (MAT) 2112, 2nd Security Force Assistance Brigade (2nd SFAB), build more than interoperability; they build relationships.

    As participants in African Lion 2025 (AL25), U.S. Africa Command’s premier annual exercise, the 11-person 2nd SFAB team embedded with the Senegalese Army’s 32nd Battalion to enhance tactical effectiveness and reinforce enduring military partnerships.

    “We don’t just show up, advise and leave,” said U.S. Army Capt. Nicolaus Solari, MAT 2112 team leader. “Our role is to form lasting partnerships. The more trust we build, the more we can achieve together, on the ground and strategically.”

    That trust has been months in the making.

    Leading up to the exercise, the team engaged in key leader meetings, joint training events and informal exchanges that laid the foundation for deeper collaboration during AL25. Those early efforts helped shift the relationship from formality to genuine cooperation.

    “When you get past the uniforms and ranks, it’s about two professionals learning from each other,” said U.S. Army Master Sgt. Kevin Dellinger, MAT 2112’s senior enlisted advisor. “We’ve had conversations about family, hometowns and goals. Those small things translate to big results when it’s time to train.”

    During AL25, MAT 2112 advised the Senegalese 32nd Battalion during situational lanes, contributed to patrol planning and refined small-unit tactics. This reinforces trust through consistent presence and shared effort.

    “We’ve trained shoulder-to-shoulder,” said Solari. “That builds mutual respect. It makes it easier to challenge each other and grow.”

    While tactical progress was a priority, the team’s focus on relationship-building reflected the long-term goals of the SFAB mission: empowering partners, strengthening institutions and fostering regional stability.

    “Our advisors bring years of experience, but also humility,” Solari said. “We’re here to advise and assist—but also to learn and grow alongside our counterparts.”

    The value of the team’s work extends beyond any single training event.

    “Every successful advising relationship is a small win that supports long-term regional stability,” said Dellinger. “We may be a small team, but the impact we make ripples outward.”

    U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to Maneuver Advisor Team 2112, 2nd Security Force Assistance Brigade (2nd SFAB), provide instruction to members of the Armed Forces of Senegal on proper employment of the MK-19, 40mm grenade machine gun at Range 1, Centre d’Entraînement Tactique 2 (CET2) in Dodji, Senegal, May 12, 2025. The training, part of African Lion 2025 (AL25), focused on building tactical proficiency and strengthening interoperability between partner forces. AL25, the largest annual military exercise in Africa, brings together over 50 nations, including seven NATO allies and 10,000 troops to conduct realistic, dynamic and collaborative training in an austere environment that intersects multiple geographic and functional combatant commands.

    As AL25 concludes, MAT 2112 leaves Senegal with strengthened bonds and a shared commitment to future cooperation.

    “We’ll move on to the next location, and they’ll continue their mission here,” said Solari. “But what we’ve built together, the respect, the understanding, the trust—that stays.”

    Washington DC, May 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

    In a move that has reaffirmed NordVPN’s dominance in the digital privacy and anonymity sector, NordVPN has officially been voted the Best VPN for Android in 2025. Since 2016, when it first launched its Android application, NordVPN has been working to offer the most trusted and feature-rich VPN services.

    “Being named the Best VPN for Android in 2025 is not just a milestone; it is a validation of the years we have spent engineering a mobile experience that puts privacy, speed, and simplicity in every user’s pocket. This recognition drives us to keep raising the standard for what mobile security should look like.”

    As most users have noted, NordVPN has a user interface that has reached new heights of usability in 2025. This is evident from its streamlined experience that balances functionality with visual elegance and opens up to a clean, map-based home screen that lets users connect to the best available server with a single tap. As for the users who prefer more control, the platform offers a quick-access list of specialty servers, making maneuvering around easier.

    New users have also not been left behind, as they noted that the registration process is quite straightforward. Below are the steps to follow:

    “Our Android app was redesigned with simplicity and control in mind. Whether you are a seasoned user or just starting your privacy journey, the experience is built to make advanced protection accessible in just a tap.”

    In an era when mobile streaming, gaming, and remote work surge, Android users now require VPNs that can keep pace without lagging. On this, NordVPN has been hailed by users and industry experts for its unmatched speed on Android devices, which can keep up. The speed is attributed to the proprietary NordLynx protocol, an advanced adaptation of WireGuard, which delivers lightning-fast connectivity while maintaining encryption standards. As per the speed tests conducted earlier in the year, NordVPN consistently placed at the top of the charts, outperforming its closest rivals by significant margins, making it win the votes for the top VPN for Android in 2025.

    According to industry reports, NordVPN has an extensive global server network with over 7,000 servers in over 100 countries. With such an international presence, NordVPN provides Android users with seamless access to the internet regardless of geographic location. Also, with such a wide coverage, the platform ensures its users experience low latency and minimal congestion, even during peak hours. With such provisions, Android users take pride in their empowerment with reliable access to streaming services, online platforms, and regional content with no restrictions.

    As has been the case since it was founded in 2012, privacy has always been the cornerstone of NordVPN’s philosophy. And, as leading experts have observed, this has only improved with time. For instance, NordVPN recently implemented a strict no-logs policy, which dictates that no user data should be tracked, collected, or stored. This includes but is not limited to browser data, IP addresses, online behavior, bandwidth usage, and session information. By doing so, Android users have highlighted that NordVPN qualifies as the best VPN for Android, as they are assured of their privacy.

    Another feature that has been hailed for contributing to NordVPN’s top ranking as the top VPN for Android is its multi-layered security architecture. In light of this feature, the app is seen to include Threat Protection Lite, a built-in feature that actively blocks malicious websites, intrusive ads, and online trackers in real time. This tool, specifically optimized for Android devices, offers an additional layer of security, ensuring that users are safe from any malware-infected APKs and phishing attacks they may be susceptible to.

    NordVPN also understands that mobile security should never come at the cost of battery life. That being the case, users have noted that the platform has optimized its app to consume significantly less power and background resources while still offering security and privacy. Still, user feedback indicates that most users can stay connected to the VPN all day without worrying about draining their devices.

    Customer support is another realm where NordVPN excels, according to its users. Currently, the platform offers several channels through which its users can get help from its customer support team. These channels include a 24/7 live chat provision and email support. With these in place, users get direct access to the knowledgeable team of customer service agents, who, according to the reviews, offer assistance in the best of ways. Additionally, NordVPN’s onboarding process includes helpful tips, in-app tutorials, and a built-in diagnostics tool to quickly resolve connection issues. With all these in place, NordVPN has received a fair share of praise as its users never feel unsupported.

    Testimonials further cement that affordability has remained a core part of NordVPN’s appeal to Android users. Looking at its pricing plans, NordVPN has continued to offer competitive prices, which also come with discounts and money-back guarantees. Also, since the payments support various payment methods, users are assured of smooth transactions. This goes a long way in making the platform accessible to a wide user base, depending on the mode of payment that they find convenient.

    With this exceptional array of features, NordVPN earned its place at the top of the Android VPN rankings in 2025. From robust encryption and lightning-fast speeds to advanced usability and an unwavering commitment to user privacy, NordVPN exemplifies what a modern VPN should be.
