3:17 P.M. IST
     THE VICE PRESIDENT: Hello. Good to see everybody. How we doing?
AUDIENCE: Good.
     THE VICE PRESIDENT: Good. Good.
     Well, it’s an amazing privilege to be here in Jaipur. I’m thrilled to address the Ananta Centre’s India-U.S. Forum, and I’m thrilled to have you all here with me. Thanks to all of you, the business leaders, decision-makers, and, of course, the students for being here. And thanks to our great team at the U.S. embassy for everything that you guys do for our country.
     In the United States, we’re proud of the deep connection between our nations — between India and the United States. Prime Minister Modi, as most of you probably know, was one of the first visitors welcomed into the Oval Office during President Trump’s second term. And like President Trump, the prime minister inspires remarkable loyalty because of the strength of his belief in his people and in his country.
     Now, we’re so grateful for Prime Minister Modi’s hospitality, as well as the reception that he and everyone else in this country have given us on this first trip for me to India. This is my first time visiting the birthplace of my wife’s parents, and she’s, of course, in the front row there. There you are, Usha. (Applause.)
     You — she’s a bit of a celebrity, it turns out, in India. I think more so than her husband. But I haven’t been here long, but already I’ve been fortunate enough to visit the Akshardham Temple — did I pronounce that right, honey? — I did okay? — all right — with my family this morning, as a matter of fact. And last night, Prime Minister Modi welcomed me, Usha, and our three small children at his beautiful home.
     I’ve been amazed by the ancient beauty of the architecture of India, by the richness of India’s history and traditions, but also by India’s laser-like focus on the future. And those things, I think — this appreciation for history and tradition, and this focus on the future — is very much something that I think animates this country in 2025.
     Now, in other countries I visited, it sometimes feels like there’s a flatness, a sameness, a desire to just be like everyone else in the world. But it’s different here. There’s a vitality to India, a sense of infinite possibility, of new homes to be built, new skylines to be raised, and lives to be enriched. And there’s a pride in being Indian, a feeling of excitement about the days that lie ahead.
     Now, it’s a striking contrast with too many in the West, where some in our leadership class seem stricken by self-doubt and even fear of the future. To them, humanity is always one bad decision away from catastrophe. The world will soon end, they tell us, because we’re burning too much fuel or making too many things or having too many children. And so, rather than invest in the future, they too often retreat from it.
     Some of them pass laws that force their nations to use less power. They cancel nuclear and other energy generation facilities, even as their choices — the choices of these leaders — lead to more dependence on foreign adversaries. Meanwhile, their message to their friends, to countries like India, is to tell them that they are not allowed to grow.
     Well, President Trump rejects these failed ideas. He wants America to grow. He wants India to grow, and he wants to build the future with our partners all over the globe. (Applause.)
     And when I look at this audience or when I visit this incredible country over these last couple of days, I see a people that will not be held back.
     Now, the most profound responsibility I believe that all of us have is not to ourselves but to the next generation, to make sure we leave them with a better society than the one that our parents and our grandparents gave us. And this is the world that America seeks to create with you.
     We want to build a bright new world, one that’s constantly innovating, one that’s helping people to form families, making it easier to build, invest, and trade together in pursuit of common goals.
     Now, I believe that our nations have much to offer one another, and that’s why we come to you as partners looking to strengthen our relationship.
     Now, we’re not here to preach that you do things any one particular way. Too often, in the past, Washington approached Prime Minister Modi with an attitude of preachiness or even one of condescension. Prior administrations saw India as a source of low-cost labor on the one hand, even as they criticized the prime minister’s government — arguably the most popular in the democratic world. And as I told Prime Minister Modi last night, he’s got approval ratings that would make me jealous. (Laughter and applause.)
     But it wasn’t just India. This attitude captured too much of our economic relationship with the rest of the world, so we shipped countless jobs overseas and, with them, our capacity to make things — from furniture, appliances, and even weapons of war. We traded hard power for soft power, because with economic integration, we were told, would also come peace through sameness. Over time, we’d all assume the same sort of bland, secular, universal values no matter where you lived. The world was flat after all. That was the thesis, and that was what they told us.
     And when that thesis proved false or at least incomplete, leaders in the West took it upon themselves to flatten it by any means necessary. But many people across the world — and I think your country counts among them — they did not want to be flattened. Many were proud of where they came from: their way of life, the kind of jobs they worked, and the kind of jobs their parents worked before them. And that very much includes people in my own country, the United States of America.
     Now, some of you are aware of my own background. I actually didn’t plan to talk about my background at all until last night at dinner, while my children mostly behaved — we gave them A-minus for behavior with the prime minister — the prime minister said, “I have one request. I want you to talk a little bit about your background.” And so, I wanted to do that — for those of you who don’t know anything about me, I wanted to talk about it.
     I come from — and I’m biased — the greatest state in the Union, the state of Ohio: a longtime manufacturing powerhouse in the United States of America. My home, specifically, is a place called Middletown. Now, it’s not a massive city by any means — it’s not Jaipur — but it’s a decent-sized town and a place where people make things, which has been a point of pride in Middletown for generations.
It’s filled with families like my own, some of whom called us “hillbillies” — Americans who came down from the surrounding hills and mountains of West Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky to cities like Middletown in pursuit of the manufacturing jobs that were creating widespread prosperity for families all across America. They came to Middletown in search of what we call back home “the American dream.”
     In Middletown, my parents raised me, my grandparents raised me. They taught us to work hard. They taught me to study hard, and they taught me to love God and my country and always be good to your own.
     My granddad, who I called “Papaw” growing up, he typified that. Late into life, he worked as a steelmaker at the local mill, and I know India has a lot of those. Papaw’s job gave him a good wage, stable hours, and a generous pension. All that allowed him to support not just him and my grandmother but his own daughter and grandkids with him. Now, by the time I came around, money was awfully tight, but he worked hard to make a good living for all of us.
     Now, I know Papaw and Mamaw were grateful for the way of life their country made possible. Their generation bore witness to the formation of America’s great middle class, and by creating an economy centered around production, around workers who build things, and around the value of their labor, our nation’s leaders then transformed their country and made thousands of little Middletowns possible.
     The government supported its labor force. We created incentives for productive industries to take root and struck good deals with international partners to sell the goods made in the United States of America.
     But as America settled in to world historic prosperity it generated, our leaders began to take that very prosperity and what created it for granted. They forgot the importance of building, of supporting productive industry, of striking fair deals, and of supporting our workers and their families.
And as time went on, we saw the consequences. In my hometown, factories left, jobs evaporated. America’s Middletowns ceased to be the lifeblood of our nation’s economy. And the United States — as it became transformed, those very people — the working class, the background of the United States of America — were dismissed as backwards for holding on to the values their people had held dear for generations.
Now, Middletown’s story is my story, but it’s hardly unusual in the United States of America. There are tens of millions of Americans who, over the last 20 or so years, have woken up to what’s happening in our nation. But I believe they woke up well before it’s too late.
Now, like you, we want to appreciate our history, our culture, our religion. We want to do commerce and strike good deals with our friends. We want to found our vision of the future upon the proud recognition of our heritage, rather than self-loathing and fear.
I work for a president who has long understood all of this. Whether through fighting those who seek to erase American history or in support of fairer trade deals abroad, he has been consistent on these issues for decades. And as a result, under the Trump Administration, America now has a government that has learned from the mistakes of the past.
It’s why President Trump cares so deeply about protecting the manufacturing economy that is the lifeblood of American prosperity and making sure America’s workers have opportunities for good jobs.
As we saw earlier this month, he will go to extraordinary lengths to protect and expand those opportunities for all Americans.
And so, today, I come here with a simple message: Our administration seeks trade partners on the basis of fairness and of shared national interests.
We want to build relationships with our foreign partners who respect their workers, who don’t suppress their wages to boost exports but respect the value of their labor.
We want partners that are committed to working with America to build things, not just allowing themselves to become a conduit for transshipping others goods.
And finally, we want to partner with people and countries who recognize the historic nature of the moment we’re in, of the need to come together and build something truly new — a system of global trade that is balanced, one that is open, and one that is stable and fair.
Now, I want to be clear: America’s partners need not look exactly like America, nor must our governments do everything exactly the same way, but we should have some common goals. And I believe, here in India, we do in both o- — economics and in national security.
And that’s why we’re so excited. That’s why I’m so excited to be here today. In India, America has a friend, and we seek to strengthen the warm bonds our great nations already share.
Now, critics have attacked my president, President Trump, for starting a trade war in an effort to bring back the jobs of the past, but nothing could be further from the truth. He seeks to rebalance global trade so that America, with friends like India, can build a future worth having for all of our people together.
And when President Trump and Prime Minister Modi announced in February that our countries aim to more than double our bilateral trade to $500 billion by the end of the decade, I know that both of them meant it, and I’m encouraged by everything our nations are doing to get us there.
As many of you are aware, both of our governments are hard at work on a trade agreement built on shared priorities, like creating new jobs, building durable supply chains, and achieving prosperity for our workers.
In our meeting yesterday, Prime Minister Modi and I made very good progress on all of those points, and we are especially excited to formally announce that America and India have officially finalized the terms of reference for the trade negotiation. I think this is a vital step. (Applause.) Thank you. I believe this is a vital step toward realizing President Trump’s and Prime Minister Modi’s vision because it sets a roadmap toward a final deal between our nations.
I believe there is much that America and India can accomplish together. And on that note, I want to talk about a few areas of collaboration today, how India and the United States can work together: first, perhaps most importantly, to protect our nations; second, to build great things; and finally, to innovate the cutting-edge technologies both our countries will need in the years to come.
Now, on defense, our countries already enjoy a close relationship — one of the closest relationships in the world. America does more military exercises with India than we do with any other nation on Earth.
The U.S.-India COMPACT that President Trump and Prime Minister Modi announced in February will lay the foundation for even closer collaboration between our countries. From Javelins to Stryker combat vehicles, our nations will coproduce many of the munitions and equipment that we’ll need to deter foreign aggressors — not because we seek war, but because we seek peace, and we believe the best path to peace is through mutual strength. And the — launching the joint Autonomous Systems Industry Alliance will enable America and India to develop the most state-of-the-art maritime systems needed for victory.
It’s fitting that India, this year, is hosting the Quad Leaders’ Summit this fall. Our interests in a free, open, peaceful, and prosperous Indo-Pacific are in full alignment. Both of us know that the region must remain safe from any hostile powers that seek to dominate it.
Growing relations between our countries over the last decade are part of what led America to designate India a Major Defense Partner — the first of that class. This designation means that India now shares, with the UAE, a defense and technology infrastructure and partnership with the United States on par with America’s closest allies and friends.
But we actually feel that Indir- — India has much more to gain from its continued defense partnership with the United States, and let me sketch that out a little bit.
We, of course, want to collaborate more. We want to work together more. And we want your nation to buy more of our military equipment, which, of course, we believe is the best in class.
American fifth-generation F-35s, for example, would give the Indian Air Force the ability to defend your air space and protect your people like never before. And I’ve met a lot of great people from the Indian Air Force just in the last couple of days.
India, like America, wants to build, and that will mean that we have to produce more energy. That’s more energy production and more energy consumption. And it’s one of the many reasons why I think our nations have so much to gain by strengthening our energy ties.
As President Trump is fond of saying, America has once again begun to “drill, baby drill.” And we think that will inure to the benefit of Americans but it will also benefit India as well.
Past administrations in the United States of America, I — I think motifated [motivated] by a fear of the future, have tied our hands and restricted American investments in oil and natural gas production. This administration recognizes that cheap, dependable energy en- — is an essential part of making things and is an essential part of economic independence for both of our nations.
Of course, America is blessed with vast natural resources and an unusual capacity to generate energy, so much that we want to be able to sell it to our friends, like India. Well, we believe your nation will benefit from American energy exports and expanding those exports. You’ll be able to build more, make more, and grow more, but at much lower energy costs.
We also want to help India explore its own considerable natural resources, including its offshore natural gas reserves and critical mineral supplies. We have the capacity and we have the desire to help. Moreover, we think energy coproduction will help beat unfair competitors in other foreign markets.
But India, we believe, can go a long way to enhance energy ties between our nations. And one suggestion I have is maybe consider dropping some of the nontariff barriers for American access to the Indian market.
     Now, I’ve talked about this, of course, with Prime Minister Modi. And, look, President Trump and I know that Prime Minister Modi is a tough negotiator. He drives a hard bargain. It’s one of the reasons why we respect him. (Applause.)
     And — and we don’t blame Prime Minister Modi for fighting for India’s industry, but we do blame American leaders of the past for failing to do the same for our workers, and we believe that we can fix that to the mutual benefit of both the United States and India.
     Let me give an example. American ethanol, we believe, made from the finest corn in the world, can play a tremendous role in enhancing our partnership. And I know our farmers would be delighted to support India’s energy security ambitions.
     We welcome the Modi government’s budget announcement to amend India’s civil nuclear liability laws, which currently prevent U.S. producers from exporting small modular reactors and building larger U.S.-designed reactors in India.
     There’s much that we can create, much that we can do together.
     We believe that American energy can help realize India’s nuclear power production goals — and this is very important — as well as its AI ambitions. Because, as the United States knows well and I know that India knows well, there is no AI future without energy security and energy dominance.
     And that brings me to my final point of collaboration. I believe that the technological collaboration between our countries is going to extend well beyond defense and energy.
     The U.S.-India TRUST initiative that President Trump and Prime Minister Modi have launched will be a cornerstone of the partnership in the future. It’ll build on billions of dollars of planned investments that American companies have already announced across India.
     In the years to come, we’re going to see data centers, pharmaceuticals, undersea cables, and countless other critical goods being developed and being built because of the American and Indian economic partnership.
     And I’ll say it again, I think that our nations have so much to gain by investing in one another: America investing in India and, of course, India investing in the United States of America.
     And I know that Americans, our people are excited about that prospect and that President Trump and I are looking forward to stronger ties.
     Americans want further access to Indian markets. This is a great place to do business, and we want to give our people more access to this country. And Indians, we believe, will thrive from greater commerce from the United States. This is very much a win-win partnership and certainly will be far into the future.
     And as I know this audience knows better than most, neither Americans nor Indians are alone in looking to scale up their manufacturing capacity. The competition extends well beyond cheap consumer goods and into munitions, energy infrastructure, and all sorts of other cutting-edge technologies. I believe that if our nations fail to keep pace, the consequences for the Indo-Pacific, but really the consequences for the entire world, will be quite dire.
     And this, again, is where India and the United States have so much to offer one another. We’ve got great hardware — the leading artificial intelligence hardware in the world. You have one of the most exciting start-up technology infrastructures anywhere in the world.
     There’s a lot to be gained by working together, and this is why President Trump and I both welcome India’s leadership in a number of diplomatic organizations, but, of course, in the Quad.
     We believe a stronger India means greater economic prosperity but also greater stability across the Indo-Pacific, which is, of course, a shared goal for all of us in this room and is a shared goal for both of our countries.
     I want to close with — with one last story, or maybe a couple of stories. So, you know, my — my son Ewan is seven years old. He’s our firstborn son. And yesterday, after we — we had dinner at the prime minister’s house, the food was so good and the prime minister was so kind to our three children that Ewan came up to me afterwards, and he said, “Dad, you know, I think maybe I could live in India.” (Laughter and applause.)
     And — but I think after about 90 minutes in the Jaipur sun today at the great palace — (laughter) — he suggested that maybe we should move to England. (Laughter.) So, you take the — the good with the bad here.
     But I — I want to talk about Prime Minister Modi because I think he’s a special person. I first met Prime Minister Modi at the AI Action Summit in February, and we had a lot of important discussions on AI and other policies to prepare for.
     The prime minister also managed to figure out that my son Vivek was actually turning five years old on the trip. This was in Paris just a couple of months ago.
     So, think about this. Amid a huge international policy conference, he took the time to stop by where I was staying; wish our second son, Vivek, a happy birthday; and even bring him a gift. Usha and I were both genuinely touched by his graciousness, and we have been even more impressed by his warmth since we arrived in India.
     Now, it’s interesting. Some of you may know that when you’re a politician, your kids spend almost as much time in the limelight as you do. And the — the great things about kids is they are brutally honest. They’re brutally honest with everybody, whether you want them to be or not.
     And our seven-year-old, our five-year-old, and then our — our three-year-old baby girl, Mirabel — it’s interesting. They have only really been — they’ve only really attached themselves to; they’ve only really liked, I should say; they’ve only really built a rapport with — with two world leaders.
     The fors- — first, of course, is President Trump. He just has a certain energy about them — about him. But Prime Minister Modi, it’s the exact same thing. Our kids just like him. And I think that because kids are such good strong [judge] of characters, I just like Prime Minister Modi too, and I think it’s a great foundation for the future of our relationship. (Applause.)
     I could tell then — I could tell when Prime Minister Modi came over a couple of months ago and I believe today that he is a serious leader who has thought deeply about India’s future prosperity and security, not just for the rest of his time in office but over the next century.
     And I want to end by making a simple overarching point. We are now officially one quarter into the 21st century — 25 years in, 75 years to go. And I really believe that the future of the 21st century is going to be determined by the strength of the United States-India partnership. I believe — (applause) — thank you.
     I believe that if India and the United States work together successfully, we are going to see a 21st century that is prosperous and peaceful. But I also believe that if we fail to work together successfully, the 21st century could be a very dark time for all of humanity.
     So, I want to say, it’s — it’s clear to me, as it is to most observers, that President Trump, of course, intends to rebalance America’s economic relationship with the rest of the world. That’s going to cause — fundamentally will cause profound changes within our borders in the United States, but, of course, with other countries as well.
     But I believe that this rebalancing is going to produce great benefits for American workers, it’s going to produce great benefits for the people of India, and because our partnership is so important to the future of the world, I believe President Trump’s efforts, joined, of course, by the whole country of India and Prime Minister Modi, will make the 21st century the best century in human history. Let’s do it together.
     God bless you. And thank you for having me. (Applause.)

MIL-OSI United Kingdom: PM remarks at the IEA Future of Energy Security summit: 24 April 2025

Speech

PM remarks at the IEA Future of Energy Security summit: 24 April 2025

Prime Minister’s remarks from the IEA Future of Energy Security summit.

Good afternoon, everyone – it’s really fantastic to see so many people here, in London, welcome to London, I’m so pleased we have got so many representatives from so many places and in a sense we’re here today for one simple reason:

Because the world has changed.

From defence and national security on the one hand, much discussed in recent months…

To the economy and trade…

Old assumptions have fallen away.

We are living through an era of global instability…

Which is felt by working people as an age of local insecurity.

Factory workers, builders, carers, nurses, teachers…

Working harder and harder for the pound in their pocket…

But feeling at the same time that they have less control of their lives.

*

And energy security is right at the heart of this.

Every family and business across the UK…

Has paid the price for Russia weaponizing energy. And it has.

But it’s not just that.

*

Let’s be frank.

When it comes to energy…

We’re also paying the price for our over-exposure…

Over many years…

To the rollercoaster of international fossil fuel markets.

Leaving the economy – and therefore people’s household budgets…

Vulnerable to the whims of dictators like Putin…

To price spikes…

And to volatility that is beyond our control.

Since the 1970s, half of the UK’s recessions have been caused by fossil fuel shocks.

That’s true for many of the other nations represented here this afternoon.

So what’s different today is not the information we have.

It’s not our awareness of the problem.

No.

What’s different now…

Is our determination…

In a more uncertain world…

To fix it.

It’s our determination that working people…

Should not be exposed like this anymore.

*

So, to the British people, I say:

This government will not sit back…

We will step up.

We will make energy a source…

Not of vulnerability, but of strength.

We will protect our critical infrastructure, energy networks and supply chains…

And do whatever it takes…

To protect the security of our people.

Because this is the crucial point –

Energy security is national security…

And it is therefore a fundamental duty of government.

And I’m very clear –

We can’t deliver that by defending the status quo…

Or trying to turn the clock back…

To a world that no longer exists.

*

Of course, fossil fuels will be part of our energy mix for decades to come.

But winning the fight for energy security depends on renewal –

It depends on change…

It depends on cooperation with others.

And that’s why we’re all here today – so many countries, so many communities represented.

*

The IEA was founded in 1974,

In the midst of an energy crisis,

To help us work together to secure energy supplies…

And reduce future energy shocks.

Well, that has taken on a new urgency today.

So our task is clear –

To act – together…

To seize the opportunity of the clean energy transition.

Because homegrown clean energy…

Is the only way…

To take back control of our energy system…

Deliver energy security…

And bring down bills for the long term.

*

And I want to tell you –

That is in the DNA of my government.

When we came into office last year…

We knew there was no time to waste.

So in our first 100 days…

We launched Great British Energy –

As a national champion to drive investment and transform clean power.

We scrapped the ban on onshore wind…

And became the first G7 economy to phase out coal power.

While we won’t turn off the taps…

We’re going all out –

Through our Plan for Change…

To make Britain a clean energy superpower…

To secure home grown energy…

And set a path to achieving clean power by 2030.

*

Now, I know, some in the UK don’t agree with that.

They think energy security can wait.

They think tackling climate change can wait.

But do they also think that billpayers can wait too?

Do they think economic growth can wait?

Do they think we can win the race for green jobs and investment by going slow?

That would serve no one.

Instead, this government is acting now…

With a muscular industrial policy –

To seize these opportunities…

To boost investment…

Build new industries…

Drive UK competitiveness…

And unlock export opportunities –

In wind, nuclear, hydrogen, carbon capture, heat pumps and so much more.

That is the change we need.

We won’t wait –

We’ll accelerate.

*

Because we’re already seeing the benefits.

The UK’s net zero sectors are growing three times faster than the economy as a whole.

They have attracted £43 billion of private investment since last July.

And now they support around 600,000 jobs across the UK.

That means more opportunities…

And more money in people’s pockets.

And we’re going further.

We’ve stripped out unnecessary red tape…

To put Britain back in the global race for nuclear energy…

And allow for Small Modular Reactors for the first time.

We’re speeding up planning for clean energy projects –

Including onshore wind…

To power millions of homes and unlock further investment of £40 billion each year.

*

It’s really clear to me –

That investors want policy certainty.

They want ambition.

That is what we’re providing.

And now we are raising our ambition even further.

I am really pleased to announce today…

That we’re creating a new Supply Chains Investment Fund –

As part of Great British Energy.

It will be backed by an initial £300 million of new funding…

For domestic offshore wind…

Leveraging billions of new private investment…

Supporting tens of thousands of jobs…

And driving economic growth.

When companies are looking to invest in clean energy…

When partners are looking to build new turbines, blades or cables…

Our message is simple:

Build it in Britain.

I am determined to seize this opportunity –

To win our share of this trillion-dollar market…

And secure the next generation of great jobs.

I’ve met apprentices at the docks in Grimsby – fantastic individuals…

I’ve been to Holyhead in Wales…

And the National Nuclear Laboratory in Preston…

And I’ve seen the brilliant clean power infrastructure that we are building in this country.

But more than that…

I’ve seen the pride that these jobs bring.

This is skilled, well-paid work…

Meaningful work –

A chance to reignite our industrial heartlands…

To rekindle the sense of community pride and purpose…

That comes from being part of something that is bigger than yourself.

And so I’m pleased to tell you…

That I can share some more good news this afternoon.

Earlier today, we finalised a deal with ENI.

It will see them award £2 billion in supply chain contracts…

For the Hynet Carbon Capture and Storage project…

Creating 2,000 jobs, across North Wales and the North West.

I want to thank all those here today who are part of this success story.

Because it is all built on stability, yes…

But our ruthless focus on delivery…

But it is also built on partnership.

So let me say –

It is a real pleasure today to welcome my friend –

President von der Leyen.

Ursula – it is so good to have you with us this afternoon. Last time we were in this building, Ursula and I stood together with other colleagues here at Lancaster House, that was just last month, six weeks ago…

Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with President Zelenskyy…

Working together for European security.

Today we stand, again together with Fatih and others and the IEA…

United behind European energy security.

Europe must never again be in a position where Russia thinks they can blackmail us on energy.

And until Russia comes to the table and agrees a full and unconditional ceasefire…

We must continue to crack down on their energy revenues which are still fuelling Putin’s war chest.

This is the moment to act.

And it is the moment to build a partnership with the EU that meets the needs of our time –

Facing up to the global shocks of recent years…

And working together to minimise the impact on hard-working people.

So we’re doing more with the EU to improve our interconnections…

And make the most of our shared energy systems…

As well as building on the fantastic partnerships that we already have…

With countries like the Netherlands, Germany, Norway and so many others.

We have a common and important resource in the North Sea…

Which can help us meet common challenges –

To me, this is just common sense.

So let’s seize this potential…

To drive down bills…

And drive up investment, growth and energy security.

I was elected with a mandate to deliver change.

So I make no apologies for pursuing every avenue…

To deliver in the national interest and secure Britain’s future.

That is always my priority.

And of course this has to be a global effort as well.

We need to see a wider coalition…

That unites the north and south…

In a global drive for clean power.

That’s why I launched the Global Clean Power Alliance at the G20 last year…

Working alongside the EU’s Global Energy Transitions Forum.

And that’s why we’re joining forces to take this forward.

We want to tackle the barriers and bottlenecks that are holding countries back.

So I am pleased to announce today…

That, under the Global Clean Power Alliance…

We are establishing a first-of-its-kind global initiative…

To unblock and diversify clean energy supply chains.

We are harnessing the political leadership needed to make this happen.

Because, ultimately…

That is what this is about:

Leadership.

In this moment of instability and uncertainty…

Where we are buffeted by global forces…

We are taking control.

We are working together with partners from around the world…

With the IEA and all of you here today…

To accelerate this vital global transition.

And in the UK…

We are stepping up now…

To make energy a source…

Not of vulnerability, and worry…

Which it is at the moment and it has been for so long…

But a source of strength, of security and pride.

With British energy, powering British homes, creating British jobs –

A collective effort, to boost our collective security…

For generations to come.

Thank you very much.

*

And now it is my very great pleasure and privilege to introduce…

President von der Leyen, my friend Ursula, thank you very much for being here. Ursula, the stage is yours.

PHILADELPHIA — Immigration and Customs Enforcement Philadelphia removed Jeovann Anthony Forde, a citizen of Jamaica with a final order of removal, to his home country on March 27.

Forde is a foreign fugitive wanted by law enforcement authorities in Jamaica for murder.

“Forde’s removal demonstrates ICE Philadelphia’s unyielding dedication to protecting public safety by addressing significant threats within our communities. This operation highlights the expertise and persistence of our officers in locating and apprehending individuals wanted for serious crimes, ensuring accountability and preventing further harm,” said ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations acting Field Office Director Brian McShane.

The U.S. Border Patrol arrested Forde near San Ysidro, California, on July 18, 2022, for entering the United States without inspection or parole by an immigration official. The next day the Border Patrol served Forde a notice to appear, charging inadmissibility pursuant to Section 212 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

USBP transferred Forde to ICE San Diego on July 20, 2022. On the same date, ICE San Diego enrolled him in the Alternatives to Detention Program and released him on an Order of Recognizance.

ICE Philadelphia terminated Forde from ATD as a pre-order absconder on June 27, 2023.

On July 24, 2023, an immigration judge in Philadelphia, PA ordered Forde removed from the United States to Jamaica in absentia.

The Montgomery County, Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas convicted Forde of retail theft on Dec. 17, 2024, and sentenced him to pay fines. On the same date, ICE Philadelphia arrested Forde in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during a targeted enforcement action and transferred him to the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, where he remained pending removal to his home country.

MIL-OSI: ACNB Corporation Reports 2025 First Quarter Financial Results

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

GETTYSBURG, Pa., April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ACNB Corporation (NASDAQ: ACNB) (“ACNB” or the “Corporation”), financial holding company for ACNB Bank and ACNB Insurance Services, Inc., announced a net loss of $272 thousand, or $0.03 diluted loss per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to net income of $6.8 million, or $0.80 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and compared to net income of $6.6 million, or $0.77 diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were impacted by two discrete items that were related to the acquisition of Traditions Bancorp, Inc. (“Traditions”): a provision for credit losses on non- purchase credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans of $4.2 million, net of taxes, and merger-related expenses, net of taxes, totaling $6.2 million.

2025 First Quarter Highlights

ACNB closed the acquisition of Traditions effective February 1, 2025 (“Acquisition”). This strategic acquisition will result in a premier community bank that is locally headquartered, managed, and focused.
Traditions contributed, after acquisition accounting adjustments, $877.7 million in assets, $648.5 million in loans and $741.5 million in deposits at the Acquisition date.
Fully taxable equivalent (“FTE”) net interest margin was 4.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 3.81% for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 3.77% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The accretion impact of acquisition accounting adjustments on loans and deposits from the Acquisition was $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
The allowance for credit losses was $24.6 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $17.3 million at December 31, 2024 and $20.2 million at March 31, 2024. The increases from both prior periods were driven primarily by an initial allowance for credit losses of $5.5 million for non-PCD loans and $1.5 million for accruing PCD loans at the Acquisition date.

Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio¹ of 9.33% at March 31, 2025 compared to 10.72% at December 31, 2024 and 9.61% at March 31, 2024. The net unrealized loss on the available for sale securities portfolio was $39.7 million at March 31, 2025 compared to a net unrealized loss of $47.7 million at December 31, 2024 and a net unrealized loss of $53.0 million at March 31, 2024.
As announced on Form 8-K on April 23, 2025, the Board of Directors approved and declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per share of ACNB Corporation common stock for the second quarter, reflecting a $0.02, or 6.3%, increase over the same quarter of 2024. ACNB repurchased 75,872 shares of ACNB common stock in open market transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

“At ACNB Corporation, we remain focused on executing our strategic plan to be the community bank of choice in the markets that we serve by building relationships and finding solutions for our customers. As a result, we are pleased to share our first quarter operating results. The quarter represents a solid start to a new year and exciting opportunities for our future,” said James P. Helt, ACNB Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer.

“We are pleased and excited to welcome Traditions Bancorp, Inc. shareholders, employees and customers to the ACNB family as we successfully completed our acquisition in the first quarter. In addition, at the close of the acquisition, three former Traditions directors, Eugene J, Draganosky, Elizabeth F. Carson and John M. Polli joined the Boards of Directors of ACNB Corporation and ACNB Bank. We believe this combination brings together organizations that are unified by a shared vision to banking to create an even stronger community bank and substantially enhance our presence in York and Lancaster counties.”

Mr. Helt continued, “We are cautiously optimistic for the remainder of 2025 in spite of the uncertain economic headwinds as a result of ongoing tariff turmoil. We are not only focused on the challenges, but also the exciting opportunities that lie ahead and are fully committed to the continued growth and profitability of ACNB Corporation and to enhancing long term shareholder value.”

Acquisition Update

During the first quarter of 2025, ACNB acquired Traditions, holding company for Traditions Bank, York, Pennsylvania. Traditions was merged with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of ACNB Corporation immediately followed by the merger of Traditions Bank with and into ACNB Bank effective February 1, 2025. ACNB Bank is operating the former Traditions Bank offices as “Traditions Bank, A Division of ACNB Bank”. The acquisition method of accounting was used to account for the acquisition. ACNB recorded the assets and liabilities of Traditions at their respective fair values as of February 1, 2025. The transaction was valued at approximately $83.8 million and substantially expanded ACNB’s footprint in the York and Lancaster, Pennsylvania markets. Traditions contributed, after acquisition accounting adjustments, $877.7 million in assets, $648.5 million in loans and $741.5 million in deposits at the Acquisition date. The excess of the merger consideration over the fair value of Traditions assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in goodwill of $20.3 million.

As of March 31, 2025, total acquisition accounting adjustments on loans were $24.5 million. The majority of the loan acquisition accounting adjustments are expected to accrete back through as income as loans pay off or mature. Total acquisition accounting adjustments on time deposits were $226 thousand as of March 31, 2025. The acquisition accounting adjustments on time deposits are expected to amortize as an expense over the life of the time deposits. The core deposit intangible was $18.3 million as of March 31, 2025.

________________________________________
¹ Non-GAAP financial measure. Please refer to the calculation on the page titled “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” at the end of this document.

The core deposit intangible is expected to amortize as an expense over an expected life of 10 years using sum of the year’s digits method. The acquisition accounting adjustments are subject to refinement for up to one year from the acquisition date as allowable by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

ACNB recorded an allowance for credit losses of $6.9 million at the Acquisition date, comprised of $5.5 million for non-PCD loans, which was recognized through the provision for credit losses, and $1.5 million for accruing PCD loans, which was recognized as an acquisition accounting adjustment to the amortized cost basis of the acquired loans.

ACNB completed, following the Acquisition date, the sale of approximately $98.0 million of Traditions’ investments with a yield of 5.03%. With the proceeds from the sale, ACNB paid off $40.2 million of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) borrowings with a cost of 4.73% and invested the remainder of the proceeds into investment securities with a yield of 5.07%.

ACNB’s financial results for any periods ended prior to February 1, 2025 reflect ACNB on a standalone basis. As a result, ACNB’s financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 may not be directly comparable to prior reported periods.

Total stockholders’ equity was $386.9 million at March 31, 2025 compared to $303.3 million at December 31, 2024 and $279.9 million at March 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation

Note: The Corporation has presented the following non-GAAP financial measures because it believes that these measures provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Corporation’s results of operations and financial condition. These non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the Corporation’s industry. Investors should recognize that the Corporation’s presentation of these non- GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other corporations. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP basis measures, and the Corporation strongly encourages a review of its condensed consolidated financial statements in their entirety.

Press release

UK bolsters support for Syrian people by amending Syria sanctions

Updates to UK Syria sanctions regulations will help the people of Syria rebuild their country and economy following the fall of Assad
Today’s updates to UK Syria sanctions regulations will help the people of Syria rebuild their country and economy following the fall of Assad.

Amendments will allow UK to hold Assad and his associates accountable for human rights violations.

Ensuring long-term stability in Syria is essential for regional and UK security – the foundation of the government’s Plan for Change.

The Syrian financial system will be supported to open up and rebuild following the fall of Assad, with the UK government announcing today (24 April) that it is amending its sanctions regulations on Syria and lifting sanctions on 12 entities.

The amendments will remove UK restrictions on some sectors including financial services and energy production in Syria, helping to facilitate essential investment in Syria’s energy infrastructure and supporting the Syrian people to rebuild their country and economy.

Amendments to UK legislation will also allow the UK to hold Assad and his associates accountable for their atrocious actions against the people of Syria, while giving the UK scope to deploy future sanctions in the Syria context, should that become necessary.

Additionally, sanctions on 12 entities will be lifted, including the Syrian Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Interior and media companies.

Sanctions imposed on members of the former regime and those involved in the illicit trade in captagon will remain in place.

These amendments will support Syria’s transition to a more stable and prosperous country, bolstering regional and UK security in line with the government’s Plan for Change.

Hamish Falconer, Minister for the Middle East, said:

The Syrian people deserve the opportunity to rebuild their country and economy, and a stable Syria is in the UK’s national interest. That’s why I’m pleased that today the UK has amended its Syria sanctions and lifted sanctions on 12 entities to support them to do just that.

The UK is committed to building greater stability in Syria and the wider region. This also enables us to bolster national security at home to support the government’s Plan for Change.

This announcement builds on the decision in March to lift asset freezes on 24 Syrian entities, including the Central Bank of Syria, Syrian Arab Airlines, and energy companies.

The UK remains committed to working with the Syrian government and international partners to support an inclusive political transition in Syria, including the protection of human rights, unfettered access for humanitarian aid, safe destruction of chemical weapons stockpiles, and combatting terrorism and extremism. We will continue to press the Syrian government to ensure it meets the commitments it has made.

The UK continues to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance to Syrians inside Syria and across the region, including pledging £160 million to support Syria’s recovery and stability in 2025.

This morning, Mr Lee and Secretary of the CPC Zhejiang Provincial Committee Wang Hao attended the High-Level Meeting and the First Plenary Session of the Hong Kong/Zhejiang Co-operation Conference, witnessing the establishment of the Hong Kong/Zhejiang Co-operation Conference Mechanism.

During the meeting, Mr Wang, Mr Lee and Zhejiang Governor Liu Jie saw the signing of the Hong Kong/Zhejiang Co-operation Conference Mechanism, the Co-operation Memorandum of the High-Level Meeting & First Plenary Session of the Hong Kong/Zhejiang Co-operation Conference, as well as four co-operation agreements.

By entering into the mechanism, Hong Kong and Zhejiang reached consensus on 13 co-operation areas. Meanwhile, the four co-operation agreements cover areas of innovation and technology (I&T), housing, economic and trade co-operation, and youth development.

Mr Lee noted that the new mechanism symbolises a new stage of comprehensive exchanges and co-operation between Hong Kong and Zhejiang, which is of great significance. He thanked Zhejiang Province and the Zhejiang Provincial Government for its importance and support attached to the mechanism, and said he looks forward to Hong Kong and Zhejiang working together and deepening co-operation on all fronts for mutual benefits.

He added that Hong Kong and Zhejiang will seize national opportunities and leverage their respective strengths to make new and greater contributions to the further reform and opening up of the country, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Furthermore, he stressed that Hong Kong will give full play to its role as a “super connector” and “super value-adder” to continue serving Zhejiang in expanding international markets.

After the meeting, Mr Lee called on Hangzhou Mayor Yao Gaoyuan and attended a luncheon hosted by Mr Yao.

The Chief Executive said that Hangzhou has made rapid achievements in the fields of the digital economy and artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years, while the Hong Kong SAR Government, also developing the AI industry proactively, has been implementing a series of measures to support AI development. Mr Lee expressed his confidence in the huge potential for co-operation between Hong Kong and Hangzhou in I&T, adding that under the new co-operation mechanism, exchanges and collaboration between Hong Kong and cities in Zhejiang, including Hangzhou, will be even closer.

In the afternoon, Mr Lee arrived in Ningbo, where he visited a local high-end scientific instrument manufacturing enterprise to learn more about its business development and projects in the manufacturing and research of optical instruments.

He also met entrepreneurs of Ningbo descent, and commended Ningbo entrepreneurs for their significant contributions to Hong Kong’s economic and social development over the years.

In the evening, Mr Lee met Secretary of CPC Ningbo Municipal Committee Peng Jiaxue, and attended a dinner hosted by Mr Peng.

Mr Lee said he believes that entrepreneurs in Hong Kong and Ningbo will continue to scale new heights and forge closer ties and co-operation, and that Hong Kong and Ningbo can achieve complementarity to make greater contributions to the country’s high-quality development.

MIL-OSI: Federal Home Loan Bank of New York Announces First Quarter 2025 Operating Highlights

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

NEW YORK, April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) today released its unaudited financial highlights for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

“The Federal Home Loan Bank of New York continued to perform well in the first quarter of 2025, meeting the funding needs of our members and delivering liquidity in support of local economic growth,” said Randolph C. Snook, president and CEO of the FHLBNY. “Our sustained focus on executing on our foundational liquidity mission in a safe and sound manner drives our performance and positions the FHLBNY as a stable and reliable partner to our members and the communities we serve.”

Highlights from the first quarter of 2025 include:

Net income for the quarter was $155.7 million, a decrease of $64.8 million, or 29.4%, from net income of $220.5 million for the first quarter of 2024. Net interest income for the quarter was $215.0 million, a decrease of $50.0 million, or 18.9%, from net interest income of $265.0 million in the first quarter last year. This decrease in net interest income was driven by a decrease in average interest earning assets of $8.3 billion, from $169.4 billion in the prior year period to $161.1 billion for the first quarter of 2025. Non-interest income declined by $15.2 million, or 42.3%, to $20.7 million from the first quarter of 2024 due to net unrealized fair value losses on derivatives and hedged items including trading securities held for liquidity purposes. Non-interest expense increased $6.3 million, or 11.2%, to $62.6 million due to increases in voluntary contributions to housing and community development programs, and personnel- and technology-related expenses.
Return on average equity (“ROE”) for the quarter was 7.16% (annualized), compared to ROE of 10.58% for the first quarter of 2024, as a result of the decrease in net income.
As of March 31, 2025, total assets were $157.2 billion, a decrease of $3.1 billion, or 1.9%, from total assets of $160.3 billion at December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, advances (par amount) were $97.9 billion, a decrease of $8.6 billion, or 8.1 %, from $106.5 billion at December 31, 2024.
As of March 31, 2025, total capital was $8.1 billion, a decrease of $0.3 billion from total capital of $8.4 billion at December 31, 2024, due to declines in capital stock aligned with smaller advances balances offset by an increase in retained earnings. The FHLBNY’s retained earnings were $2.5 billion as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024; $1.3 billion of the retained earnings were unrestricted and $1.2 billion were restricted. At March 31, 2025, the FHLBNY was in compliance with its regulatory capital ratios and liquidity requirements.
The FHLBNY allocated $17.3 million from its first quarter 2025 earnings for its Affordable Housing Program.

The FHLBNY currently expects to file its Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2025 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on or about May 8, 2025.

Windfarm Capable of Powering Half of Scotland’s Homes

Moray West offshore wind farm capable of powering half of Scotland’s homes is switched on by Scottish Secretary.
The UK’s drive towards clean power, which is a huge jobs and economic opportunity for Scotland, took a significant step forward today [24 April] when Scottish Secretary Ian Murray switched on full power at Ocean Winds’ new Moray West offshore windfarm.

The windfarm, located 13 miles off the coast of Buckie, is one of Scotland’s largest offshore windfarms. It will generate up to 882MW output – enough to power 1.3 million homes – half of Scotland’s households. Upon full power, Ocean Winds will become the largest offshore wind operator in Scotland, running two windfarms off the North East coast and with a third in development.

Clean energy represents the economic opportunity of the 21st century, with this project alone creating around 1,500 jobs during the construction phase. The developer, Ocean Winds, has used more than 80 UK suppliers in the project to date, which has involved installing the biggest turbines yet in British waters, spanning up to 257m above sea level.

Speaking after his visit, Mr Murray said:

“It was a huge moment today when I switched on full power for the Moray West Windfarm.

“Investment like that being made by Ocean Winds is absolutely central to ensuring that Scotland and its workers benefit from the skilled jobs and economic growth that clean energy can bring.

“With Great British energy located in Aberdeen, and billions of pounds of investment on the table, Scotland is at the very heart of the UK Government’s drive to make the UK a clean energy superpower.”

Moray West takes the UK Government a step closer to achieving the 43-50GW offshore wind targets set for 2030, as published in the Clean Power Action Plan- helping deliver on its mission to make the UK a clean energy superpower.

During his visit to Ocean Winds, Mr Murray met staff who have transitioned into renewables after careers in the oil and gas industry and the UK’s armed forces.

Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said:

“Offshore wind is the backbone of our plans for clean power by 2030, as the UK is blessed with thousands of miles of coastline.

“Developments like Moray West take us a step closer to getting off the fossil fuel rollercoaster and help deliver on our Plan for Change, protecting households from volatile gas prices and creating good jobs.”

After switching on the windfarm to full power, Mr Murray travelled to Aberdeen.

There he visited Sarens PSG and ETZ Ltd.

Sarens PSG were involved in the construction of the Moray West windfarm, marshalling 62 giant ‘monopiles’ – the wind turbine foundations. 10 metres in diameter and 84 metres long, the 2.000 tonne monopiles are the largest and heaviest ever to be handled in the United Kingdom. Mr Murray saw Sarens PSG’s new £1.6 million Aberdeen training facility for wind farm workers. The company opened the facility recently, saying that Great British Energy’s headquarters being located in Aberdeen made the city the ideal location for the facility⁠.

Touring the Energy Transition Zone, Mr Murray visited the Floating Wind Innovation Centre, the UK’s first dedicated facility of its kind for floating wind technology, run by ORE Catapult.

Also today [24 April 2025] Scotland Office Minister Kirsty McNeill visited the Port of Leith, located within the Forth Green Freeport, to mark the official opening of Forth Ports’ new Outer Berth. Forth Ports has invested a total of £100 million into transforming the Port of Leith into a world class renewables hub, which is already playing a key role in supporting Scotland’s energy transition. The Leith Renewables Hub is part of the Forth Green Freeport’s strategically located tax sites, which aim to reindustrialise central Scotland, generating thousands of high-quality green jobs by increasing trade and supporting the growth of businesses across the Firth of Forth.

These visits are happening against the background of the UK Government co-hosting the International Energy Agency summit in London, a global event bringing together countries to discuss energy security.

MIL-OSI Security: York County Man Sentenced To 46 Months In Prison For Drug Trafficking

Source: Office of United States Attorneys

HARRISBURG – The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Glenn Jerome Bradley, age 61, of New Park, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on April 22, 2025, to 46 months’ imprisonment by United States District Judge Jennifer P. Wilson for possession with intent to distribute powder and crack cocaine.

According to Acting United States Attorney John C. Gurganus, on February 27, 2020, police officers observed Bradley travel from his home in Pennsylvania to a location in Maryland and conduct a drug transaction. Upon stopping Bradley’s vehicle, officers recovered distribution quantities of crack and powder cocaine from Bradley’s person. Officers subsequently executed a search warrant on Bradley’s home; from Bradley’s master bedroom closet, officers recovered additional distribution quantities of powder and crack cocaine, more than $20,000 in cash, a loaded handgun, and drug distribution paraphernalia.

The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations, the Baltimore County Drug Task Force, and the Pennsylvania State Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney David C. Williams prosecuted the case.

This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce violent crime and gun violence, and to make our neighborhoods safer for everyone. On May 26, 2021, the Department launched a violent crime reduction strategy strengthening PSN based on these core principles: fostering trust and legitimacy in our communities, supporting community-based organizations that help prevent violence from occurring in the first place, setting focused and strategic enforcement priorities, and measuring the results.

MIL-OSI Security: Romanian National Arrested For Possession Of A Firearm By An Alien Unlawfully In The United States

Source: Office of United States Attorneys

Tampa, FL – United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe announces the arrest and filing of a criminal complaint charging Andrei Saplacan (35, Tampa) with possessing a firearm as an alien unlawfully in the United States. If convicted, Saplacan faces up to 15 years in federal prison.

According to the complaint, earlier this month, Saplacan attempted to purchase a firearm from a local Federal Firearms Licensee. Saplacan incorrectly answered one of the questions on the form regarding his immigration status, failing to disclose that he had been admitted to United States under a non-immigrant visa. Saplacan’s application to purchase the firearm was denied.

Further investigation revealed that Saplacan entered the United States in September of 2014 on an H2B visa with authorization to remain in the United States until June 10, 2015, and has overstayed for nearly 10 years. As such, he is prohibited from legally purchasing or possessing a firearm or ammunition.

A search warrant was executed at Saplacan’s home on April 21, 2025. In Saplacan’s bedroom, law enforcement located five firearms, various rounds of ammunition, a gas mask, and bullet proof vest.

This case is being investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and Homeland Security Investigations. It will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Samantha Newman.

A complaint is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.

This case is part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that marshals the full resources of the Department of Justice to repel the invasion of illegal immigration, achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and protect our communities from the perpetrators of violent crime. Operation Take Back America streamlines efforts and resources from the Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETFs) and Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN).

MIL-OSI Security: Couple Sentenced to Federal Prison for SNAP Fraud, Drugs and Illegal Firearms Possession

Source: United States Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF)

Hagåtña, Guam – SHAWN N. ANDERSON, United States Attorney for the Districts of Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, announced that the following defendants pled guilty and were sentenced in the District Court of Guam on April 23, 2025:

Antonio J. Toves, age 48, from Chalan Pago, Guam was sentenced to 12 months and one day for Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud and Unauthorized Use, Transfer, Acquisition, Alteration, or Possession of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Benefits, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1343 and 7 U.S.C. § 2024. He was also sentenced to serve 36 months imprisonment for Possession of Methamphetamine Hydrochloride with Intent to Distribute, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(l), and Possession of a Firearm in Furtherance of a Drug Trafficking Crime, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A). The terms of imprisonment were also ordered to run consecutive. The Court also ordered four years of supervised release, $40,869 in restitution, and $400 in mandatory special assessment fees. Toves also forfeited several firearms and a Lexus vehicle. Defendants convicted of SNAP fraud are barred from further participation in the program.

Christina J. Toves, age 47, from Chalan Pago, Guam was sentenced to 12 months and one day for Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1343 and 1349; Unauthorized Use, Transfer, Acquisition, Alteration, or Possession of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (“SNAP”) Benefits, in violation of 7 U.S.C. § 2024(b)(1); and Illegal Possession of Firearms and Ammunition in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). The Court also ordered three years of supervised release, $40,869 in restitution, and $300 in mandatory special assessment fees. Toves was also ordered to forfeit several firearms, ammunition, and a Lexus vehicle.

From September 2015 to September 2020, Antonio and Christina Toves defrauded the Guam Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) to obtain SNAP benefits to which they were not entitled. The couple made false statements about their household size and income. They also failed to disclose to DPHSS that Christina Toves was employed as a social worker with the Guam Department of Corrections – information on which DPHSS relies in making benefits determinations. As a result of this deceit, they received $40,846.00 in fraudulently obtained SNAP benefits.

Following his arrest, Antonio Toves was found in possession of over five grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride, two pistols, an AR-15 rifle, and over 800 rounds of ammunition. Christina Toves was found in possession of a concealed handgun.

“Citizens with low income rely on SNAP benefits to meet their nutritional needs,” stated United States Attorney Anderson. “Unfortunately, some people seek to obtain these benefits through fraud and other abuse of the program. Taxpayers deserve justice for this criminal conduct. We will continue to pursue these prosecutions to ensure that federal funds are appropriately used. As this case demonstrates, those who engage in this type of fraud, in addition to drug trafficking, risk significant federal penalties.”

“Fraud, drugs and firearms are a dangerous mixture for failure,” said ATF Seattle Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Blais. “The Tove’s actions not only cost them prison time and restitution, but also cost the taxpayers of Guam because of their fraudulent claim and receipt of SNAP benefits. This sentence is well deserved and should serve as a warning against anyone that illegal actions will be investigated and prosecuted.”

This investigation was conducted by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Guam DPHSS Investigation & Recovery Office.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin K. Petersburg prosecuted these cases in the District of Guam.

MIL-OSI China: China announces top 10 archaeological discoveries for 2024

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

BEIJING, April 24 (Xinhua) — From a 60,000-year-old Paleolithic settlement to a third-century Buddhist temple along the ancient Silk Road, China on Thursday unveiled its top 10 archaeological discoveries of 2024, findings that can help deepen understanding of Chinese civilization and the history of Homo sapiens in East Asia.

The selected projects span diverse fields such as human origins, the origins, formation and early development process of Chinese civilization, and the formation and development of a unified multi-ethnic nation, said Qiao Yunfei, deputy head of the National Cultural Heritage Administration (NCHA).

“ENCYCLOPEDIC SETTLEMENT” FOR PALEOLITHIC AGE

The Mengxihe Site in the southwestern province of Sichuan has revealed a Paleolithic settlement dating back 60,000 to 80,000 years. Archaeologists believe it offers systematic and novel evidence that could help unravel the origins of Homo sapiens in East Asia.

Discovered in 2021, the Mengxihe site spans approximately 12,000 square meters. From 2022 to 2024, thousands of stone tools, animal fossils, large and medium-sized wooden artifacts, and remains of plant seeds and fruits were excavated.

Dating back to a crucial phase in the evolution of modern humans, the site offers a rare and remarkably complete snapshot of ancient society, with a wealth of stone tools as well as animal and plant remains, according to an NCHA report on the findings.

“It is the only site identified to contain abundant plant resources during the dispersal phase of Homo sapiens,” the report stated.

The findings reveal that ancient humans in East Asia — previously thought to be relatively “backward” — were far from dormant, as they not only inherited local traditions in making stone tools but also actively cultivated a range of complex modern behaviors, according to the report.

RICE FARMING 9,300 YEARS AGO

The Xiatang Site in Zhejiang Province, occupying an area of about 30,000 square meters, serves as a significant evidence of the early rice farming society in southern China, the NCHA report stated.

The site presents crucial evidence of China’s 10,000-year cultural history and stands as a vivid example of the independent origins and continuous development of Chinese civilization over millennia, said Zhong Zhaobing, director of the archaeological project.

Discovered in 1984 and unearthed through years of excavation, the site yielded cultural relics spanning four distinct Neolithic cultural phases, covering the entirety of the Neolithic Age from 9,300 to 4,000 years ago.

Abundant remains were unearthed, including moats, artificially constructed earthen platforms, residential foundations, burial sites, food-processing zones, irrigation ditches, and pathways, offering a comprehensive panorama of early agricultural society’s settlement.

NEOLITHIC LAKESIDE LIFE IN QINGHAI-TIBET PLATEAU

The Mapu Tsho relics site is the first Neolithic site, dating back over 4,000 years, to be discovered in the central part of southwest China’s Xizang Autonomous Region.

Situated at an altitude of 4,410 to 4,430 meters along the shores of Mapu Tsho Lake, it stands as the earliest known lakeside Neolithic site in the heart of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, remarkable for both its elevation and long duration of occupation.

The relics unearthed include rice, millet, seashells, ivory and bronze vessels that were clearly brought in from outside.

“Findings here not only provide significant physical evidence for reconstructing the historical and archaeological cultural sequence of prehistoric Xizang but also offer compelling evidence of interactions, exchanges, and integration among various ethnic groups in China, shedding light on the formation of a diverse yet unified Chinese civilization,” the NCHA said.

RISE OF BUDDHISM ALONG SILK ROAD

The Mo’er Temple ruin, near the city of Kashgar in northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, was a key Buddhist temple built around the third century when the ancient kingdom named Shule reigned the region.

Archaeologists began to excavate the site in 2019, uncovering a wealth of significant discoveries after six rounds of excavation work.

“This is the earliest and best-preserved large-scale architectural site of a Buddhist temple discovered to date in the westernmost region of China,” the NCHA said.

As a representative example of a large early Buddhist temple, the site provides important evidence of the layout and architectural evolution of early Buddhist temples in China, the NCHA added.

It has also contributed significantly to the archaeological study of Buddhism in ancient Shule and along the Silk Road, according to the NCHA.

MIL-OSI Security: Hillsville Man Arrested for Sexual Exploitation of Children

Source: Office of United States Attorneys

Defendant Used Discord to Purchase Sexual Content from at Least Ten Teenage Girls

ROANOKE, Va. – Michael Tibbs, 24, of Carroll County, Virginia, was arrested by FBI agents last week on a criminal complaint charging him with sexual exploitation of children. Earlier this week, Tibbs appeared before a U.S. magistrate judge who ordered him detained without bond.

Based on evidence presented at Tibbs’ detention hearing, in April 2023, a then-15-year-old minor victim submitted a tip to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center, reporting that a man had been grooming her for approximately one year and continually requesting nude images.

FBI agents identified Tibbs as the victim’s groomer and obtained records of his Discord messages. The Discord records revealed that beginning as early as November 2022, Tibbs engaged in sexual chats with several minor girls and paid them to record and send him sexually explicit images and videos. Agents were able to identify and interview some of the minor victims, who confirmed that Tibbs paid them to record sexually explicit content for him.

On July 18, 2024, agents executed a search warrant at Tibbs’ home and seized his phone, which contained many sexually explicit images and videos of women with indeterminate ages. Agents were able to identify one of the minor victims, 13 years old, depicted in two of those videos. Tibbs’ phone also held hundreds of computer-generated and animated images of children, including toddlers, being graphically, sexually abused.

Agents interviewed Tibbs, who admitted to using Discord to purchase sexual content from minors. He estimated that he purchased from 10 to 15 underage girls. Tibbs explained that he developed an interest in purchasing sexual content from minors after viewing child pornography on TikTok.

Acting U.S. Attorney Zachary T. Lee and Stanley M. Meador, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI’s Richmond Division, made the announcement.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is investigating the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Drew Inman is prosecuting the case.

The case is brought as part of Project Safe Childhood. In 2006, the Department of Justice created Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from exploitation and abuse. Led by the U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and the DOJ’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identity and rescue victims. For more information about Project Safe Childhood, please visit www.projectsafechildhood.gov/.

A criminal complaint is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

MIL-Evening Report: Open letter to Fijians – ‘why is our country supporting Israel’s heinous crimes in Gaza?’

Pacific Media Watch

The Fijians for Palestine Solidarity Network today condemned the Fiji government’s failure to stand up for international law and justice over the Israeli war on Gaza in their weekly Black Thursday protest.

“For the past 18 months, we have made repeated requests to our government to do the bare minimum and enforce the basic tenets of international law on Israel,” said the protest group in an open letter.

“We have been calling upon the Fiji government to uphold the principles of peace, justice, and human rights that our nation cherishes.

“We campaigned, we lobbied, we engaged, and we explained.

“We showed the evidence, pointed to the law, and asked our leaders to do the right thing. Our pleas fell on deaf ears. We’ve been met with nothing but indifference.”

The open letter said:

“Dear fellow Fijians,

“As we gathered tonight in Suva at the Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre compound, Israel has maintained an eight-week blockade on food, medicine and aid entering Gaza, while continuing to bomb homes and tent shelters.

“At least 52,000 people in Gaza have been killed since October 2023, which includes more than 18,000 children. The death toll means that one out of every 50 people has been killed in Gaza. We all know that the real number of those killed is far higher.

“Today, at least 13 people were killed in Israeli attacks. Among the dead were three children in a tent near Nuseirat in central Gaza, and a woman and four children in a home in Gaza City.

“Also reportedly killed in a recent attack was local journalist Saeed Abu Hassanein, whose death adds to at least 232 reporters killed by Israel in Gaza in this genocide.

“For the past 18 months, we have made repeated requests to our government to do the bare minimum and enforce the basic tenets of international law on Israel. We have been calling upon the Fiji Government to uphold the principles of peace, justice, and human rights that our nation cherishes.

“We campaigned, we lobbied, we engaged, and we explained. We showed the evidence, pointed to the law, and asked our leaders to do the right thing. Our pleas fell on deaf ears. We’ve been met with nothing but indifference.

“Instead our leaders met with Israeli Government representatives and declared support for a country accused of the most heinous crimes recognised in international law.

“Fijian leaders and the Fiji Government must not be supporting Israel or planning to set up an Embassy in Israel while Israel continues to bomb refugee tents, kill journalists and medics, and block the delivery of aid to a population under relentless siege.

“No politician in Fiji can claim ignorance of what is happening.

“Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed.

“Many more have been maimed, traumatised and displaced. Hospitals, clinics, refugee camps, schools, universities, residential neighbourhoods, water and food facilities have been destroyed.

“We must loudly name what’s happening in Gaza – a GENOCIDE.

“We should name the crime, underline our government’s complicity in it, and focus our efforts on elevating the voices of Palestinians.

“We know that our actions cannot magically put an end to the GENOCIDE in occupied Palestine, but they can still make a difference. We can add to the global pressure on those who have the power to stop the genocide, which is so needed.

“The way our government is responding to the genocide in Gaza will set a precedent for how they will deal with crises and emergencies in the future — at home and abroad.

“It will determine whether our country will be a force that works to uphold human rights and international law, or one that tramples on them whenever convenient.

“There are already ongoing restrictions against protests in solidarity with Palestine including arbitrary restrictions on marches and the use of Palestine flags.

“We have had to hold gatherings in the premises of the FWCC office as the police have restricted solidarity marches for Palestine since November 2023, under the Public Order (Amendment) Act 2014.

“Today, we must all fight for what is right, and show our government that indifference is not acceptable in the face of genocide, lest we ourselves become complicit.

“History will judge how we respond as Fijians to this moment.

“Our rich cultural heritage and shared values teach us the importance of always standing up for what is right, even when it is not popular or convenient.

“We stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people out of a shared belief in humanity, justice, and the inalienable human rights of every individual.”

MIL-OSI Russia: Dmitry Chernyshenko: To achieve technological leadership, it is necessary to develop priority areas in personnel training

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko held a meeting of the Commission on Scientific and Technological Development (S&TD).

It was attended by Deputy Chairperson of the State Duma Victoria Abramchenko, Deputy Ministers of Science and Higher Education Denis Sekirinsky and Andrey Omelchuk, President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Gennady Krasnikov, Head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency Veronika Skvortsova, Governor of Krasnoyarsk Krai Mikhail Kotyukov, Head of Rospatent Yuri Zubov, representatives of other ministries and organizations, heads of regions and deputy heads of subjects responsible for scientific and technological development of industries and regions.

The meeting discussed the main measures and instruments of state policy in the field of scientific and technological development, including the results of the implementation of the state program “Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation”, the indicators of which were fully met by the end of 2024.

In particular, the Russian Federation ranks 8th in the world in terms of volume of scientific research and development, including through the creation of an effective system of higher education. The final assessment of the effectiveness of the implementation of all state programs will be carried out by the Ministry of Economic Development.

The meeting also noted the successful completion of the national project “Science and Universities” in 2024, with all its indicators achieved. Over 5 years, it covered 76 regions, 991 universities, 1,584 research organizations, attracted 340 scientists and 4.17 million students. The implementation of the national project has become a key factor in achieving development goals and in determining new priorities, including technological leadership and increasing domestic research spending to 2% of GDP.

Over the past 2 years, we have managed to overcome the negative trend in the reduction of the number of personnel employed in research and development. In 2024, 500 postgraduate students became winners of the presidential scholarship competition, the amount of which is 75 thousand rubles per month.

More than 200 laboratories have been created under the leadership of young scientists, including 30 in new regions. In total, more than 940 laboratories are currently operating in Russia.

An important area of state policy is the development of scientific infrastructure. Efforts are focused on the development of megascience class installations, such as the SKIF synchrotron, created using domestic equipment.

Over the past 6 years, about 300 universities and research organizations have updated their equipment base, and about 30 thousand units of equipment have been purchased. This has allowed the technical base to be updated by more than 60%. An important step was the approval of the Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the Union State of Russia and Belarus. The development of the “Science” domain and the involvement of regions in scientific projects continues.

Dmitry Chernyshenko also instructed that work on the formation of a single list of priority professions and specialties to ensure scientific and technological development be carried out as soon as possible.

“President Vladimir Putin has set a national goal – technological leadership, which requires an influx of qualified personnel into strategically important industries. We need to determine priority areas of training, attract motivated students and stimulate them. Thus, it is planned to distribute at least 50% of budget places through government procurement, provide preferential educational loans for students who have chosen priority specialties,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

At the end of the commission meeting, Dmitry Chernyshenko announced the creation of an interdepartmental working group (IWG) on issues of developing secondary vocational education (SVE). The decision to create the IWG was made earlier following the commission’s instructions and during government hour in the State Duma on the initiative of its Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that when choosing the head of the International Working Group, the opinion of Vyacheslav Volodin was taken into account: the leadership of the group was entrusted to Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Victoria Abramchenko.

“The key task of the IWG will be to build effective interaction with the regions and coordinate their efforts in the field of secondary vocational education. Particular attention will be paid to the analysis of the needs of each entity for personnel and resources for the secondary vocational education system, including production sites, plans of state corporations, the number of students, equipment of colleges and training of teachers,” emphasized Dmitry Chernyshenko.

He added that the IWG will have to develop specific solutions to support secondary vocational education, including teacher retraining programs.

MIL-OSI Russia: Tatyana Golikova took part in the annual all-Russian scientific and practical conference “From the Year of the Family to the Century of the Family”

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

The All-Russian scientific and practical conference “From the Year of the Family to the Century of the Family” was held at the international information agency “Russia Today”. The conference was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova, Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Central Federal District Igor Shchegolev, Head of the Presidential Administration for Public Projects Sergei Novikov, Minister of Transport Roman Starovoit, State Secretary – Deputy Minister of Defense Anna Tsivileva, Chairperson of the Federation Council Committee on Science, Education and Culture Liliya Gumerova. The conference was organized by the D.I. Mendeleev Institute of Demographic Policy.

“Supporting families, preserving health, and preserving the population is the main national goal defined by the President of our country, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. To achieve it, we need a steady increase in the birth rate. The well-being of Russia depends on how many of us there are and at what rate we grow. The result of the Year of the Family was that the total fertility rate in 2024 was maintained at the 2023 level – 1.4. In 18 regions, an increase in the birth rate is recorded, including in those where this indicator had previously declined. In addition, last year, the growth in the birth of third and subsequent children was maintained – by 1.1%. Over the past two years, the number of large families and children in them has increased by 1.2 times,” said Tatyana Golikova.

Last year, the Government approved the Strategy of Actions for the implementation of family and demographic policies, support for large families until 2036. On January 1, 2025, the national project “Family” was launched, including measures to support young, large families, the older generation, develop children’s healthcare, strengthen reproductive health, and promote family values.

The Decree of the President of Russia “On social support for large families” established the permanent status of a large family and retained the right of regions to expand this category. In 40 regions, decisions have already been made to provide support measures for large families without taking into account the criteria of need.

Since October 1, 2024, thanks to the created register of large families, the issuance of an electronic certificate has been launched without collecting additional documents. To date, more than 1.6 million electronic certificates have been issued.

Since 2022, the title of “Mother Heroine” has been revived; in terms of the level of social guarantees, it is equal to the title of Hero of Labor.

It is important to pay special attention to preserving the reproductive health of the population and working with women in a situation of reproductive choice. For this purpose, since 2024, the program of state guarantees has included medical examination of the adult population to assess reproductive health. A serious task for the regions is to increase the popularity of reproductive medical examination among residents.

At the same time, work on preserving already conceived lives – reducing the number of abortions – is extremely important. A set of measures of legal, psychological, medical and social assistance to women in the situation of reproductive choice has been developed. Thanks to this, more than 41 thousand pregnancies were saved last year.

The quality and availability of medical care in small towns and rural areas is improving. Within the framework of the national project “Family”, 336 additional women’s consultations will be created, 142 perinatal centers, maternity hospitals and 180 children’s hospitals will be modernized, children’s clinics will be equipped with 536 mobile medical complexes.

Particular attention is paid to promoting family values, creating conditions for family leisure, creativity, sports, modernization of cultural centers, regional theaters, museums, libraries, and clubs.

In addition, measures are being taken to successfully combine professional development with the birth and upbringing of children.

Over the past two years, insurance guarantees for working women have been significantly expanded, including an increase in the maximum benefit amounts. In 2025, the amount of maternity benefits and monthly child care benefits increased by 1.4 times compared to 2024. The right to child care benefits for up to one and a half years in the event of early return to work of a parent has been retained.

To develop corporate social and demographic policy, a corporate demographic standard was developed, which was adopted at the end of last year by the Russian Tripartite Commission for the Regulation of Social and Labor Relations and is now recommended for implementation in the practice of enterprises and organizations.

Attention is paid to supporting student families. Universities are opening support centers for them, creating conditions for living together in dormitories, including for spouses from different universities, opening short-term stay groups for children and mother-and-child rooms, and developing the practice of transferring young mothers-students from paid education to a budget place.

“For the birth of a child, it is important to have confidence in the future, in a job with a growing salary, in the prospective development of the city or town where the family lives – the creation of new jobs, a comfortable and safe environment, improvement of social infrastructure. Therefore, everything that is done in the regions should be family-oriented. Issues of construction of residential and social facilities, transport accessibility, ecology – each project implemented should be aimed at creating favorable conditions for families, so that there are more of us, Russians,” said Tatyana Golikova.

MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Wouldn’t it be nice to have less congestion in York?
Source: City of York

City of York Council has today unveiled a new video starring eight York residents, business owners and students and poses a question – wouldn’t it be nice to have less congestion in York?
The video opens with each person telling us about their experiences of transport in York, before going on to explain what the Council is doing about these issues.

The first of two films to communicate the new Local Transport Strategy (LTS), which was adopted in 2024, this video highlights findings from the public consultation on the LTS. It also shows how this year alone £10m of nationally allocated, ringfenced funding is being invested in resurfacing pavements, roads and pathways; lighting; real-time bus information; a barrier removal programme, and delivering on our adopted Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan (LCWIP).

The video will be followed in the coming weeks by a public consultation on improvements to the Park and Ride sites including accessible EV charging bays, new toilets (including Changing Spaces facilities), overnight parking facilities, plus better signage, lighting and integrated transport options.

Councillor Kate Ravilious, Executive Member for Transport at City of York Council, said “Not only does this video show the wonderful diversity of people and transport options we have across York, but the very real impacts that transport has on all our lives, and the reasons why we are working hard to improve options for how people move around.

I hope all residents can see a little of themselves across the eight stories, and I’m looking forward to unveiling some of our new plans as well as updating everyone on all the great work our teams are doing to make York a healthier, more sustainable and better-connected city.

I’d like to thank the eight residents and businesses, as well as the venues used for filming, plus the highways and transport teams who helped coordinate all the elements of filming.”

The eight residents represent the following issues, and how we are resolving them:

A woman bus driver who asks “Wouldn’t it be nice to have less traffic in York?” – our on-going work to make buses more accessible, promote bus use and lower the cost of bus travel for young people has already helped to reduce the number of cars on the road, freeing up road space for those whose journeys are essential.

A university student who uses a wheelchair and whose route is blocked by steel barriers – our barrier removal programme will begin in Spring and make dozens of pathways accessible again

An older woman who isn’t online so can’t check bus times before she leaves the house – our bus team have improved over 200 elements at bus stops, including real time information screens, better shelters, lighting and seating

A college student who doesn’t have buses running to their village – we work with each of the six bus operators in York to help subsidise existing services, and continue to work with the Mayor of York and North Yorkshire to ensure financial support for bus services offers better travel options for residents and businesses

A woman runner who has to choose different routes depending on lighting and personal safety considerations – our lighting teams have been installing new LED lights across the city, and will deliver future improvements at the Jubilee Terrace to Scarborough Bridge Riverside Path (where the runner was filmed)

A woman who uses an adapted cycle and would like to explore more of York – our LCWIP will help us create a more joined up and accessible cycle network, as well as increasing the number of accessible cycle parking spaces in the city centre. To further improve access for disabled residents, we have been increasing the number of Blue Badge holder bays across York

A business owner who explains the issues his delivery drivers face, with congestion causing problems for businesses. By encouraging more people to use public transport and travel by wheeling and walking, we aim to reduce the level of congestion in the city and miles travelled by vehicles by 20% by 2030

And a young person who just loves riding their cycle but faces a lot of traffic. By encouraging more people to leave the car at home where they can, we are creating better environments for people of all ages

The video is available on YouTube

Notes to editors:

Filming took place in Fulford, Naburn and Acomb, as well as on Nunnery Lane, Walmgate Stray, Millennium Bridge, Blossom St, The Mount and Riverside Path and at York College and at Middleton’s Hotel.

MIL-OSI USA: IAM’s National Public Housing Museum Workers Celebrate First Contract, Opening of Historic New Chicago Facility

Source: US GOIAM Union

IAM members at the National Public Housing Museum in Chicago have ratified their first contract just days before the grand opening of the National Public Housing Museum on Chicago’s westside.

The first contract secures not only a quality threshold for current staff in compensation, benefits, work-life balance, and growth within the institution. It also sets up a fair entry point for future members.

“The unanimous ratification of this first contract—finalized just days before the museum’s grand opening—is a powerful and symbolic achievement,” said IAM District 8 Directing Business Representative Ryan Kelly. “These workers stood together to ensure that the museum’s mission to promote housing justice is reflected in their own workplace. By securing fair wages, benefits, and protections, they’ve laid a strong foundation not only for themselves, but for future staff and the broader labor movement in Chicago’s cultural institutions.”

The museum opened in early April in the last remaining building of the Jane Addams Homes, a Work Progress Administration (WPA) public housing complex that opened in 1938. The complex originally held 32 buildings with 1,000 apartments and 50 row homes, named in honor of Chicago social activist Jane Addams, the first American woman to be awarded a Nobel Peace prize.

“On behalf of all of the members of the National Public Housing Museum Workers United, we are beyond thrilled to announce the recent ratification of our first contract,” said museum worker Mark Jaeschke. “In a unanimous vote, the 14 members of our unit came together to secure a strong first contract, just days before the grand opening of our museum.”

The effort to restore the last building into the museum has been an 18-year, $18 million effort. The centerpiece, a restored apartment, honors the Turovitz family who fled Jewish oppression in Europe during that time. The apartment is frozen in time from that era with the look and feel that a guest would experience when visiting the Turovitz’s home.

“We first began our unionizing process in October 2022 in order to secure a workplace that aligned with the museum’s mission: to promote, preserve, and propel the right of all people to a place to live, prosper, and call home,” continued Jaeschke. “We organize from the conviction that all workers deserve the same rights to work and prosper. We look forward to creating even stronger contracts in the future, and are thankful to all of the IAM team and their partners, including Ryan Kelly, George Luscombe, Chris Tucker, Geny Ulloa, and the rest of their incredible team. We are proud to join the tradition of strong Chicago unions working for the betterment of everyday people.”

“We are proud of our new members and their first contract. It has been a tremendous effort by a team of Midwest Territory professionals to set this standard for what can be for these workers now, and into the future,” said IAM Midwest Territory General Vice President Sam Cicinelli. “Americans won’t know their history if we do not have dedicated historians, like our members at National Public Housing Museum Workers United, to teach and protect this rich history of America’s stories of how we can uplift the working class with unions.”

MIL-OSI: SentinelOne and Nord Security partner up to tackle SMBs’ cybersecurity challenges

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

NEW YORK, April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nord Security, home to advanced cybersecurity solutions, announces an exciting integration with SentinelOne®, a global leader in AI-powered cybersecurity. The industry giants aim to help small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) conquer cybersecurity challenges across endpoint and network security.

To build and maintain an effective cybersecurity strategy, businesses must navigate a complex mix of solutions that often lack integration. This absence of coordination creates additional challenges, requiring significant financial, human, and technical resources to manage multiple separate systems. Through this collaboration, SentinelOne and Nord Security will offer companies a combined solution that will allow them to address both endpoint and network security challenges.

The comprehensive solution comes from SentinelOne’s integration with NordLayer, a toggle-ready network security platform from Nord Security’s business suite. SentinelOne will automatically alert NordLayer of any malicious user identified on the endpoint, ensuring they’re disconnected from the network before it can be compromised.

“We are proud to partner with a global leader like SentinelOne. At Nord Security, we recognize that the complexity of current cybersecurity challenges requires collaboration across the industry. While our expertise fuels innovative solutions, building strong, strategic partnerships with players like SentinelOne, whose products complement ours, is essential to address the full range of cyber threats,” says Justas Morkunas, chief commercial officer for B2B at Nord Security. “We believe this new integration, already available through the leading cloud marketplace Pax8, is just the beginning of a fruitful and long-lasting partnership that will result in many exciting developments in the future.”

“Partnering with Nord Security allows us to deliver greater value to businesses seeking comprehensive, streamlined security protection,” says Melissa K. Smith, vice president, technology partnerships and strategic initiatives at SentinelOne. “Together, we’re making it easier for organizations to secure tomorrow without added complexity, empowering organizations to focus on growth, not threats.”

Attendees of the RSAC 2025 conference are invited to visit Nord Security’s and SentinelOne’s respective booths at Moscone Center in San Francisco from April 28 to May 1 to learn more about the partnership.

MIL-OSI: SUNation Energy Restructures $5.5 Million of Long-Term Debt, Improving Cash Flows and Enhancing Liquidity

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., April 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SUNation Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNE), a leading provider of sustainable solar energy and backup power solutions for households, businesses, and municipalities, today announced that it has amended the terms of a $5,486,000 Long Term Promissory Note (the “Note”) associated with the Company’s second acquisition dating from November 2022.

Under the new terms of the Long-Term Note, as disclosed in our recent annual report on Form 10-K, the principal amount of the Note, previously due and payable as a one-time payment due in November 2025, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, has been extended and is to now due and payable in 36 monthly installments beginning in June 2025 through May 1, 2028.

“The restructuring of this Note is the latest in a series of restructuring and debt reduction initiatives designed to incrementally improve the Company’s capital structure, enhance cash flows, and provide the necessary flexibility to allow us to execute our long-term growth objectives,” said James Brennan, Chief Financial Officer. “We appreciate the efforts of our independent board members in helping to reach these new terms with the Note holders, as well as for their confidence in the Company’s long term growth prospects.”

In addition, under the terms of a newly created Senior Secured Contingent Note Instrument (the “Contingent Note”), payment of the unearned 2024 earnout has been rescheduled. In addition to certain other conditions set forth therein, it will now follow the earnout terms in the Contingent Note covering the 2024 and 2025 fiscal years. If 2025’s EBITDA is greater than that of 2024, then the earnout will have been earned, and it will be paid over a period of 24 months starting in 2026.

“One of our focus points has, and will continue to be, ensuring that our commitments are honored and any of our outstanding obligations are satisfied,” said Scott Maskin, Chief Executive Officer. “Commencing repayment of this Note is a significant step towards that goal. We are creating an environment where SUNation’s value can be based on its business performance, rather than exclusively by its previously costly and challenging capital structure.”

Copies of the amended and restated secured Long-Term Note and the Senior Secured Contingent Note Instrument, along with the accompanying Security Agreement, can be found as annexed exhibits to the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K.
