  • MIL-OSI: New Off-the-Shelf Radiation-Hardened 15W DC-DC Power Converter for Space Applications

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    CHANDLER, Ariz., June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Traditional space applications have long required space-grade components to help ensure the success of missions. With over 60 years of space heritage, Microchip Technology (Nasdaq: MCHP) continues to broaden its space portfolio and today announces the SA15-28 off-the-shelf radiation-hardened DC-DC 15W power converter with a companion SF100-28 EMI filter that are designed to meet MIL-STD-461 specifications. This space-grade power device is a standard, non-hybrid DC-DC isolated power converter with a companion electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter that operates from a 28V satellite bus in harsh environments.

    The SA15-28 is available with 5V triple outputs that are optimal for use with point-of-load converters and low-dropout linear regulators to power FPGAs and microprocessors (MPUs). The small-form-factor SA15-28 weighs 60 grams and is approximately 1.68 cu inch to optimize the Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) of the device. Microchip can customize the output voltage combinations upon request.

    “Microchip’s space-grade portfolio with the new SA15-28 power converter and SF100-28 EMI filter allows our customers to customize and scale their space power systems to meet the specifications of their application,” said Leon Gross, corporate vice president of Microchip’s high-reliability and RF business unit. “The non-hybrid or discrete component-based construction is specifically designed to enable flexibility and faster time to market.”

    The SF100-28 EMI noise suppression filter can be used with numerous power converters with a total output power of up to 100W. For added flexibility in space applications, the SA15-28 and SF100-28 are fully compatible with Microchip’s existing SA50 series of power converters and SF200 filter.

    High reliability and performance are critical for power management solutions operating in harsh environments. The SA15-28 DC-DC power converter is designed to operate across a wide temperature range, from −55°C to +125°C, and offers radiation tolerance up to 100 krad TID.

    By offering proven off-the-shelf devices, Microchip enables customers to confidently scale their designs and reduce manufacturing delays. This scalable approach enables customers to upgrade from Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) to space-qualified level or from Radiation-Hardened By Design (RHBD) to sub-QML packaging options in ceramic or plastic. To learn more about Microchip’s scalable space solutions, visit the web page.

    Development Tools

    The SA15-28 DC-DC power converter is supported by comprehensive analysis and test reports including worst-case analysis, electrical stress analysis and reliability analysis.

    Availability

    The SA15-28 DC-DC power converter and SF100-28 external EMI filter are now available to purchase. You can purchase directly from Microchip or contact a Microchip sales representative or authorized worldwide distributor.

    The ex-date (or ex-dividend date) for an ETF is the critical trading day on which investors who purchase shares will no longer be entitled to receive the forthcoming dividend distribution, marking the cutoff point that determines dividend eligibility for shareholders.

    The record date for an ETF is the specific day, typically one business day after the ex-dividend date, when the fund company takes a snapshot of its shareholder registry to determine which investors are officially entitled to receive the upcoming dividend distribution.

    The payable date for an ETF is the specific calendar day when the fund administrator actually distributes the declared dividend payments to all eligible shareholders who owned shares on the record date, completing the dividend distribution process.

    Distribution per share for an ETF is the precise monetary amount paid out to investors for each share they own, representing income from dividends, interest, capital gains or return of capital collected by the fund and subsequently distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.

    The distribution rate for an ETF is a critical performance metric that expresses the annualized percentage return derived from all distributions (including dividends, interest, and capital gains) paid to shareholders over a specified period relative to the fund’s current market price, providing investors with a standardized measure to evaluate income-generating potential across different investment vehicles.

    Return of Capital (ROC). The ROC percentage indicates how much the distribution reflects an investor’s initial investment. The figures shown for each Fund in the table above are estimates based on the latest 19a1 forms and may later be determined to be taxable net investment income, short-term gains, long-term gains (to the extent permitted by law), or return of capital. Actual amounts and sources for tax reporting will depend upon the Fund’s investment activities during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Your broker will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year to tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

    An options contract is a standardized financial agreement that grants the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset, such as a stock, at a predetermined price (known as the strike price) on or before a defined expiration date, enabling investors to hedge risk, generate income or express directional views on market movements.

    A put option is a standardized financial contract that grants the holder the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset, such as a stock, at a predetermined price (known as the strike price) on or before a defined expiration date, typically used to hedge against potential declines in asset value or to express a bearish market outlook.

  • MIL-OSI: Ascent Solar Technologies Enters Collaborative Agreement Notice with NASA to Advance Development of Thin-Film PV Power Beaming Capabilities

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    THORNTON, Colo., June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ascent Solar Technologies (Nasdaq: ASTI) (“Ascent” or the “Company”), the leading U.S. innovator in the design and manufacture of featherweight, flexible, and durable CIGS thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solutions, announced today that the company is commencing work on a Collaborative Agreement Notice (CAN) with NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and support from NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) to efficiently advance capabilities for receiving beamed power using CIGS PV modules.

    The CAN program targets rapid iterative development to mature commercial products for enabling mission architectures to include beamed power. The public-private partnership includes Ascent contributing design and prototyping services with NASA providing technical subject matter expertise and test services through combined MSFC & GRC efforts. This 12-month technology maturation will result in commercial products being made available for distributed space power infrastructure, drastically lowering the cost, complexity and risk of NASA missions.

    Launched in 2023, NASA’s Psyche Mission has demonstrated deep space laser communications across 19 million miles of space, validating the efficacy of tight-beaming technologies over vast distances. Bench-testing conducted by NASA MSFC in 2024 demonstrated receiving beamed power using Ascent’s commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products as a preceding validation of the technology prior to the CAN award.

    The CAN is evaluating the ability of Ascent’s CIGS PV modules to generate power while illuminated by energy-dense beams of light, with goals to convert more usable power from the equivalent of tens of Earth’s Sun. The ability to remotely receive 10x more power on-demand while using the same PV cells tasked with collecting sunlight can significantly reduce solar array mass and volume required to meet mission power needs. In practice, this suggests that beamed-power architectures can lead to reductions of both spacecraft mass and volume budgets. These size efficiencies will result in agency payloads proportionally increasing relative to the spacecraft as a whole, thus allowing the prioritization of more technology, science and exploration within limited mission budgets.

    Planetary missions require advanced surface mobility logistics and depend on power generation subsystems that comprise a substantial proportion of the landed downmass. It is here where Ascent technology poses a potential solution for reducing spacecraft power system mass and volume needs, creating a significant impact on the overall mission.

    The CAN’s goals include increasing the array power output while lengthening the operational duty cycles to verify that improvements to this emerging technology can help enable NASA to effectively and efficiently achieve the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) missions, Artemis campaign to the Moon, and planetary science objectives. This includes enabling surviving the lunar night as well as powering remote access to areas of scientific interest such as cold traps and permanently shadowed regions on the Moon (PSRs) where water, the potential key to lunar in-situ resource utilization (ISRU), is believed to be located in high concentrations. Ultimately, this could lead to an order of magnitude reduction in the downmass required to access expensive space exploration and science mission destinations. The going rate for robotic landers on the Moon is between 6 & 7-figures per kilogram delivered to the lunar surface, equating to upwards of tens of millions of potential savings per lander mission.

    “This collaboration with NASA further bolsters our longstanding belief that the unique capabilities of thin-film solar technology will play an integral role in overcoming the challenges of reliably converting solar energy and also receive beamed power in a breadth of harsh space environments,” said Paul Warley, CEO of Ascent Solar Technologies. “Through our work together, we plan to bring an even more capable product line to market that will reduce mission costs and complexities while improving PV efficiency, making our technology a crucial piece of future space missions.”

    This cross-NASA-center teaming is demonstrative of rallying together with commercial partners to achieve the agency’s broader Lunar program goals. Beamed power stands to allow NASA program dollars to accomplish more at a fraction of the cost. With 55 countries having signed the Artemis Accords since 2020, the establishment of critical Lunar infrastructure with less resources required facilitates achieving more together with international partners.

  • MIL-OSI: Hyperscale Data Highlights AI Infrastructure Growth and Corporate Transition in Stockholder Letter

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LAS VEGAS, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today issued the following letter to its stockholders from its Founder and Executive Chairman, Milton “Todd” Ault III.

    Dear Stockholders,

    As the Founder and Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data, I want to share important updates on our strategic direction and the substantial opportunities we believe lie ahead.

    Undervalued Opportunity in a Booming Sector

    Recent market activity highlights the substantial value potential of our Michigan data center facility (the “Michigan Facility”). We have seen recent transactions, such as Applied Digital Corporation (“Applied”) securing a long-term hosting contract with CoreWeave which is expected to generate over $7 billion in aggregate revenue for Applied over 15 years based on the delivery of 250 megawatts (“MW”) of critical power infrastructure over 15 years for artificial intelligence (“AI”) and high-performance computing (“HPC”) services.

    We are actively pursuing similar hosting agreements and believe our Michigan Facility would be highly attractive to top tier hyperscale tenants seeking long-term leases if we meet our objective of scaling our Michigan Facility to 340 MW of power, as discussed below. Our discussions have included well-capitalized companies in the industry, and we are confident in our ability to secure strategic partnerships that could deliver meaningful revenue growth over the next 8 to 12 years.

    We believe our 617,000-square-foot Michigan Facility, which we are targeting to scale up to 340 MW of power, represents a highly strategic and significantly undervalued asset for supporting large-scale AI and HPC workloads.

    In February 2025, our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, Alliance Cloud Services, LLC (“ACS”), reached an agreement in principle with its primary local utility to expand available power from approximately 30 MW to 300 MW. Completion of this upgrade is expected to take approximately 44 months from the execution of a formal letter of authorization, which is currently under negotiation.

    Additionally, ACS has reached an agreement in principle with the local natural gas utility to supply an extra 40 MW of power. This portion of the project is expected to be completed within 18 months of executing definitive agreements. In total, these upgrades would expand the facility’s capacity to approximately 340 MW, positioning Hyperscale Data to serve as a major AI and HPC infrastructure hub.

    Strategic Separation and Leadership Transition

    We intend to complete our previously announced separation from Ault Capital Group, Inc. (“ACG”) by year-end 2025. After the separation, Hyperscale Data will operate as a standalone, publicly traded infrastructure company focused on delivering AI and digital asset compute solutions.

    Following the separation of ACG, I will step away from Hyperscale Data to focus almost exclusively on leading ACG and its growing portfolio of businesses, which include private credit, AI software, social gaming, equipment rental, aerospace and defense, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma, and hospitality operations.

    Upon my departure, William Horne, our Chief Executive Officer, is expected to continue in his current role and assume the position of Chairman of the Board. Mr. Horne has been instrumental in driving our operational progress and strategic vision, and I am confident in his leadership as Hyperscale Data enters its next chapter.

    Bridging the Valuation Gap

    We believe the market significantly undervalues our business, particularly given the transformative potential of our Michigan Facility. As our strategy advances and the AI infrastructure market continues to evolve, we expect the gap between our intrinsic value and current market capitalization to narrow, creating meaningful long-term value for our stockholders.

    That said, our strategy is not without risk. Successful execution will require considerable capital investment and the ability to secure long-term partnerships with leading technology firms. Completion of the power upgrades is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, one or more which could result in the project being curtailed, delayed or terminated, including, but not limited to: failure to agree upon terms and execute definitive agreements; the inability of the Company or ACS to raise sufficient funds to pay for the power upgrades and other expenditures; failure to obtain regulatory consents and approvals; the inability to obtain sufficient easements, rights-of-way and land rights necessary to the work to be performed, and other presently unforeseen events or conditions.

    In Closing

    Thank you for your continued support and confidence in our vision. We remain committed to delivering long-term value through strategic execution and disciplined investment in next-generation infrastructure.

    Sincerely,

    Milton “Todd” Ault III
    Founder and Executive Chairman
    Hyperscale Data, Inc.

    About Hyperscale Data, Inc.

    Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Inc., Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data’s other wholly owned subsidiary, ACG, is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact.

    Hyperscale Data expects to divest itself of ACG on or about December 31, 2025 (the “Divestiture”). Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would solely be an owner and operator of data centers to support HPC services, though it may at that time continue to operate in the digital asset space as described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, social gaming platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data’s headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.

    On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the “ACG Shares”). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be stockholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.

  • MIL-OSI: Half of Enterprise Windows Endpoints Have Not Yet Migrated to Windows 11, According to ControlUp Study

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ControlUp, a global leader in Digital Employee Experience (DEX) management tools, today announced new findings from its Windows 11 Readiness report, revealing that 50% of enterprise Windows endpoints have yet to complete their migration to Windows 11. This marks a significant improvement from last year’s data, when over 82% of enterprise devices were not running Windows 11. With just under four months remaining until Microsoft officially ends support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, the data highlights both encouraging progress and critical gaps in enterprise readiness across industries, geographies, and organization sizes.

    “While the 50% completion mark is a major milestone, it’s not time to relax,” said Marcel Calef, Americas Field CTO, ControlUp. “With Windows 10 end of support just months away, organizations need to act now to avoid being caught off guard. Our data shows that the rate of migration is uneven, and many enterprises still face significant hardware and planning challenges.”

    Industry Disparities Highlight Readiness Gaps

    ControlUp’s analysis of over one million enterprise endpoints shows that Education and Technology sectors are leading the migration, with 77% and 73% of their devices already running Windows 11, respectively. In contrast, Healthcare (41%) and Finance (45%) are falling behind. A deeper look reveals that 19% of Healthcare endpoints need to be replaced entirely before they can support Windows 11, compared to just 3% in Finance.

    Americas Trail Behind Europe and Other Regions

    By region, the Americas are furthest behind, with only 43% of enterprise endpoints upgraded to Windows 11, even though 87% of those devices are Windows 11 ready. Europe leads all regions at 70% completion, followed by other global regions at 66%. These regional differences could impact multinational organizations’ ability to maintain consistency and security across their environments.

    Larger Enterprises Facing the Greatest Hurdles

    ControlUp’s data also reveals that very large organizations (with over 10K Windows devices) are the least prepared for the end of Windows 10 support, with just 42% of migrations completed. These organizations often have complex IT environments and a higher volume of legacy hardware, making early assessments and planning essential.

    “ControlUp’s Windows 11 readiness assessment tool helps IT teams instantly evaluate endpoint compatibility, identify upgrade opportunities, and flag devices needing replacement, all from a single dashboard,” Calef added.

    The Windows 11 Readiness report, available through ControlUp’s Windows 11 Readiness Assessment tool, is built into the ControlUp for Desktops solution—designed to improve the digital employee experience across physical and cloud-based endpoint devices.

    ControlUp’s findings are based on a sample set of more than one million enterprise Windows endpoint devices under management as of June 2025. Additional insights can be found here.

    About ControlUp

    ControlUp is a leader in DEX, unifying Digital Employee Experience and IT operations in one powerful platform built for modern workplace management. By combining real-time monitoring, intelligent insights, and proactive remediation, ControlUp accelerates the shift toward Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM)—empowering IT teams to resolve issues before they affect employees, simplify operations, and manage complexity without the clutter of multiple tools.

    The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has, by an order dated June 23, 2025, imposed a monetary penalty of ₹1 lakh (Rupees One Lakh only) on The Karimnagar District Co-operative Central Bank Ltd., Telangana (the bank) for contravention of provisions of Section 20 read with Section 56 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949 (BR Act). This penalty has been imposed in exercise of powers conferred on RBI under the provisions of Section 47A(1)(c) read with Sections 46(4)(i) and 56 of the BR Act.

    The statutory inspection of the bank was conducted by National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) with reference to its financial position as on March 31, 2024. Based on supervisory findings of contravention of statutory provisions and related correspondence in that regard, a notice was issued to the bank advising it to show cause as to why penalty should not be imposed on it for its failure to comply with the said provisions. After considering the bank’s reply to the notice and oral submissions made during the personal hearing, RBI found, inter alia, that the following charge against the bank was sustained, warranting imposition of monetary penalty:

    The bank had sanctioned loans to its directors.

    This action is based on deficiencies in statutory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers. Further, imposition of this monetary penalty is without prejudice to any other action that may be initiated by RBI against the bank.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Gross Domestic Product, 1st Quarter 2025 (Third Estimate), GDP by Industry, and Corporate Profits (Revised)

    Source: US Bureau of Economic Analysis

    Real gross domestic product (GDP) decreased at an annual rate of 0.5 percent in the first quarter of 2025 (January, February, and March), according to the third estimate released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the fourth quarter of 2024, real GDP increased 2.4 percent.

    The decrease in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected an increase in imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, and a decrease in government spending. These movements were partly offset by increases in investment and consumer spending.

    Real GDP was revised down 0.3 percentage point from the second estimate, primarily reflecting downward revisions to consumer spending and exports that were partly offset by a downward revision to imports. For more information, refer to the “Technical Notes” below.

    Compared to the fourth quarter, the downturn in real GDP in the first quarter primarily reflected an upturn in imports, a deceleration in consumer spending, and a downturn in government spending that were partly offset by an upturn in investment.

    Real final sales to private domestic purchasers, the sum of consumer spending and gross private fixed investment, increased 1.9 percent in the first quarter, revised down 0.6 percentage point from the previous estimate.

    From an industry perspective, the decrease in real GDP reflected decreases of 2.8 percent in real value added for private goods-producing industries and 0.3 percent for private services-producing industries that were partly offset by an increase of 2.0 percent in real value added for government.

    Real gross output increased 0.6 percent in the first quarter, reflecting an increase of 1.1 percent for private services-producing industries that was partly offset by decreases of 0.6 percent for private goods-producing industries and 0.6 percent for government.

    The price index for gross domestic purchases increased 3.4 percent in the first quarter, revised up 0.1 percentage point from the previous estimate. The personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index increased 3.7 percent, and the PCE price index excluding food and energy increased 3.5 percent, both 0.1 percentage point higher than previously estimated.

    Real gross domestic income (GDI) increased 0.2 percent in the first quarter, revised up 0.4 percentage point from the previous estimate.

    Profits from current production (corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments) decreased $90.6 billion in the first quarter, an upward revision of $27.5 billion.

    Technical Notes

    Sources of revisions to real GDP in the third estimate

    Real GDP decreased at an annual rate of 0.5 percent (0.1 percent at a quarterly rate1) in the first quarter, a downward revision of 0.3 percentage point from the previous estimate, primarily reflecting downward revisions to consumer spending and exports that were partly offset by a downward revision to imports.

    • Within consumer spending, the largest contributor to the revision was services, led by recreation services and transportation services, based on new and revised first-quarter data from the Census Bureau Quarterly Services Survey, as well as other services (led by international travel), based on revised data from BEA’s International Transactions Accounts (ITAs).
    • For both exports and imports, the revised estimates primarily reflected updated data from BEA’s ITAs.
      • Within exports, the downward revision was to services, led by other business services and charges for the use of intellectual property.
      • Within imports, the revision reflected downward revisions to both services (led by other business services) and goods (led by industrial supplies and materials as well as by capital goods, except automotive).

    More information on the source data and BEA assumptions that underlie the first-quarter estimate is shown in the key source data and assumptions table.

  • MIL-OSI: NordVPN remains the only VPN with certified phishing protection

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LONDON, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The cybersecurity feature Threat Protection Pro™, included in the leading VPN application NordVPN, has once again been recognized as one of the top tools for detecting phishing websites in an independent test conducted by AV-Comparatives.

    “Phishing websites are one of the biggest threats to internet users worldwide. They steal personal data, login credentials, and financial information from unsuspecting users before redirecting them or disappearing entirely. We put our greatest effort into protecting our customers from the consequences caused by these sites,” says Domininkas Virbickas, product director at Threat Protection.

    AV-Comparatives, an independent testing lab, conducted an extensive test between May 15-28, 2025, to evaluate the effectiveness of various cybersecurity products in detecting and blocking phishing websites. The company certified 10 solutions against 228 phishing URLs and 200 clean ones to see how well they could protect users. NordVPN’s Threat Protection Pro™ detected 90% of phishing websites.

    Last year, NordVPN became the first VPN service provider to be approved by AV-Comparatives for anti-phishing protection, and this year we got tested again to remain the only VPN provider with such certification.

    To be approved by AV-Comparatives for Anti-Phishing Protection, at least 85% of the phishing URLs used must be detected and blocked, without causing any false alarms with legitimate online banking and related sites.

    How to recognize phishing websites and protect yourself

    While Threat Protection Pro™ is a powerful safeguard, phishing attacks are always evolving. Practicing good cyber hygiene is just as important.

    Here are a few simple tips to stay safe online:

    • Verify the URL. Always check the URL in your browser’s address bar. Look for variations in the domain name that might indicate it’s a fake site. Did it send you to a subpage, even though you should be on the homepage? Does it have a suspicious prefix?
    • Read the text carefully. If you have even the slightest suspicion, go over the email or message once more. Was it unsolicited? Is it urging you to do something, trying to induce panic? Does it have any typos or other mistakes?
    • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA). 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring an additional authentication step, like a one-time code sent to your phone, before you can log in. Even if a hacker gets your password, they won’t be able to access your account without this second factor.
    • Check the website’s protocol. Ensure that the website you’re on uses the HTTPS protocol. Legitimate websites prioritize security and will have a padlock icon in the address bar, but a website with a spoofed URL might only use HTTP.

    NordVPN’s Threat Protection Pro™ is available with every subscription, helping users browse more securely every day.

    ABOUT NORDVPN

    NordVPN is the world’s most advanced VPN service provider, chosen by millions of internet users worldwide. One of NordVPN’s key features is Threat Protection Pro™, a tool that blocks malicious websites, trackers, and ads and scans downloads for malware. For more information, visit https://nordvpn.com.

    R378 million secured for water security in eThekwini

    A funding package of R378 million has been secured to assist the City of eThekwini with reducing significant water loss.

    This is part of the work of the Presidential eThekwini Working Group (PeWG), Minister in The Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni announced on Thursday at a post Cabinet media briefing.

    This stride coincides with a 30% reduction in sewer and water repair backlogs in the city.

    Addressing members of the media in Cape Town, the Minister said Cabinet was updated on the workings of the PeWG during its meeting on Wednesday.

    The PeWG is a multi-stakeholder mechanism to address critical service delivery, infrastructure, and socio-economic challenges within the eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality, with the goal of positioning the city as an investment and tourism hub.

    “Domestic travel to eThekwini is also on the rebound, increasing by 33% year-on-year and contributing over R17.4 billion in economic value. International tourist arrivals also rose by 9.8%, bringing in R3.3 billion,” Ntshavheni said.

    The working group was established by President Cyril Ramaphosa in April 2024 to respond to the challenges of the municipality and to accelerate support from national and provincial government to rebuild the municipality.

    It operates across three spheres of government and includes representatives from the private sector and labour. – SAnews.gov.za

    Cabinet briefed on ongoing recovery efforts in the EC

    Cabinet was, at its ordinary meeting on Wednesday, updated on ongoing recovery efforts in the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, following the recent devastating floods. 

    At a national level, the National Joint Flood Coordination Committee, as well as the Interministerial Committee of Disaster Management have been activated and have met on several occasions to assess the situation and decide on how to support the affected provinces.

    Briefing the media on Thursday in Cape Town, Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said the National Disaster Management Centre and respective provincial and municipal disaster management centres continue to provide reports on assessments and response measures.

    “The immediate priority remains to provide emergency shelter and relief materials needed by affected communities to stabilise the situation,” Ntshavheni said. 

    She said work also continues to restore basic services such as water, sanitation and electricity. “This includes ensuring that those affected obtain identity (ID) documents and temporary ID certificates to access essential services”.

    “An assessment of damage to homes and infrastructure and a plan for reconstruction is under way. Once completed, it will allow for the preparation of a comprehensive rehabilitation programme,” Ntshavheni said.

    The Eastern Cape Provincial Government has confirmed that the official death toll from the recent floods has risen to 101, following additional recoveries by search teams.

    The numbers are likely to increase, as there are still individuals who have been reported missing by their families and search operations continue in the affected areas.

     The provincial government has extended heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost their loved ones and “are now left with a profound and multifaceted impact on their lives”. – SAnews.gov.za

    Government welcomes progress made in the fight against crime

    Government has welcomed the progress being made in the fight against crime through initiatives such as Operation Shanela and Operation Vala Umgodi. 

    “About 239 suspects were arrested across the country between 1 and 15 June 2025 through Operation Vala Umgodi,” Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said.

    Briefing media in Cape Town on Thursday, on the outcomes of the Cabinet meeting, Ntshavheni said the suspects were arrested for illegal mining-related offences and various other crimes, including attempted murder, possession of unlicensed firearms, possession of unpolished diamonds, unlawful possession of explosives and contravention of the Immigration Act of 2002.

    “Operation Vala Umgodi has, since its inception in December 2023, led to the arrest of more than 27 000 suspects and the seizure of more than 600 firearms that included imitation firearms (toy guns) and 16 000 rounds of ammunition,” Ntshavheni said.

    Ntshavheni said between 16 June to 22 June 2025, the South African Police Service (SAPS), through Operation Shanela, arrested 15 372 suspects. 

    “Some of the key arrests include 2 400 wanted individuals linked to serious and violent crimes (murder, attempted murder, rape and robbery), 159 arrested for murder, 100 arrests for rape, 1 173 arrests for assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, 2 602 for drug possession and 64 for hijacked or stolen vehicles,” the Minister said.

    According to SAPS, these successes stem from proactive policing tactics, including high-visibility patrols, roadblocks, stop-and-search initiatives and intelligence-led suspect tracing.

    “SAPS remains committed to relentless, multidisciplinary crime prevention through Operation Shanela and related initiatives. The National Commissioner of Police, General Fannie Masemola, applauds the dedication of all police officers and partners who collaborated with the police,” the South African Police Service said in a statement earlier this week. – SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Lamola warns of rising global tensions and urges diplomatic solutions

    Source: South Africa News Agency

    Lamola warns of rising global tensions and urges diplomatic solutions

    International Relations and Cooperation Minister Ronald Lamola has issued a stark warning about escalating global tensions, stressing the critical need for diplomatic intervention and multilateral cooperation.

    ”We find ourselves in an evolving global disorder that brings with it many perils for the weak and vulnerable,” Lamola said of the geopolitical challenges facing the world.

    The Minister highlighted several flashpoints threatening international stability, including the conflicts in Sudan, which he called “not only a crisis but also a moral issue that demands our collective consciousness and humanity”.

    The Minister was addressing a high-level session attended by the world’s largest economies and organisations during the third Group of 20 (G20) Sherpa meeting at Sun City Resort, in the North West.

    Lamola told delegates that over 12 million people were displaced in Sudan’s humanitarian crisis, with armed conflicts increasing globally.

    Lamola stressed the urgent need for global collaboration and fair development, inspired by the country’s historic Freedom Charter, adopted 70 years ago today.

    He warned that the current global dynamics and State rivalries are fuelling fragmentation, with economic decoupling and proxy conflicts undermining global stability. 

    “These international competition dynamics are exacerbating fragility in vulnerable regions, while also weakening multilateral institutions that underpin the rules-based international order.” 

    He told the G20 Sherpas that South Africa has adopted an anti-war stance. 

    “This is because we know too well that war offers no victors, only victims. Double standards in diplomacy and the paralysis at the United Nations Security Council have crippled conflict resolution, mediation and peace efforts. 

    ”These systemic challenges must be addressed to reclaim a global rationality that builds on stability, peace, certainty, and sustainability.” 

    Global economic environment

    Lamola noted the role of diplomacy in maintaining global stability, and the necessity for collective action to tackle economic and technological challenges.

    “The current and troubling global economic environment signifies a major trend towards economic nationalism; some States are distancing themselves from the globalised trade framework that has prevailed for many decades and underpinned this rules-based system of non-discrimination and shared values,” he said. 

    “We must avoid this path, as we all know well that trade is an engine for economic development and improvement in the standards of living across nations,” the Minister said. 

    Critical minerals

    On the exploitation of critical minerals, Lamola highlighted the deep-rooted economic injustices in this domain. 

    “While the world runs on our resources, the value does not stay here. The minerals leave raw. The batteries, the solar panels, and the cancer treatments are made elsewhere. We export wealth but import back its transformed value,” Lamola said, pointing out that this is a phenomenon seen across Africa. 

    The Minister used the platform to call for a transformative approach to resource management, proposing a “critical minerals framework that will rewrite peace and humanity, and revitalise our industrial strategies”.

    He stated that the mission of South Africa’s G20 Presidency is clear, and that is to transform these “buried treasures“ into local jobs, factories and sovereignty.

    “Equally, the value we will create will still empower the world, as we will seek to continuously export and strengthen global commerce, and our role in it.  This is not just economics; it is Solidarity, Equality, and Sustainability – the theme of our Presidency.” 

    Developmental goals

    In addition, Lamola touched on the challenges facing international institutions, noting that “diplomacy and peace mediation and the United Nations Security Council have been crippled”.

    With only 17% of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on track, he stated that multilateral cooperation is not just desirable, but essential.

    He concluded his talk by reminding the delegates that as global tensions rise, the intergovernmental forum represents a crucial opportunity to reimagine international cooperation and tackle the systemic challenges threatening global stability.

    “The G20 can lead in a moment of crisis. The G20 can help address the weaknesses of the multilateral system. The G20 can ensure that our collective humanity is not abandoned. Our deliberations can no longer be hollow; our shared prosperity, now more than ever, demands collaboration that pursues solutions that address some of the most pressing global challenges confronting humanity and impacting global growth and development.

    “The G20 is a persuasive body that holds great influence in the world,” he urged.  – SAnews.gov.za

    IMC to ensure prudence on the funding of the National Dialogue

    Cabinet has directed the Inter-Ministerial Committee (IMC) on the National Dialogue to ensure prudence with the funding of the initiative, following concerns raised by the public on how much government would spend on it.

    “Cabinet has noted public concerns about the estimate Budget for the National Dialogue and wishes to clarify that the proposed Budget has not yet been taken through the established government budgeting processes or considered by the IMC that is chaired by the Deputy President. 

    “Cabinet is fully cognisant of the current fiscal constraints and has directed the IMC to ensure prudence on the funding of the National Dialogue,” Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said on Thursday, in Cape Town.

    Earlier this month, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that government would host a National Dialogue that will enable South Africans to participate in engagements that will confront the country’s challenges and forge a path into a better future.

    An Inter-Ministerial Committee has been established under the chairpersonship of the Deputy President, Paul Mashatile, to coordinate government’s contribution to the National Dialogue.

    “On this day, 70 years ago, 26 of June 1955, more than 3 000 delegates from various racial and social backgrounds, gathered in Kliptown, Johannesburg, to envision the South Africa, they want, that is democratic, and non-racial and which is based on the principles of equality, social justice, human rights and shared economic prosperity,” the Minister said.

    This gathering culminated in the adoption of the Freedom Charter, which is a document outlining the aspirational principles of freedom and democracy in South Africa. 

    “The Freedom Charter is the foundational document to the Constitution of the post-Apartheid South Africa, and it is still relevant in directing the redress of outstanding social and economic inequalities.

    “The Freedom Charter was a result of a massive grassroots campaign involving various anti-Apartheid organisations and ordinary citizens, organised under the banner of the African National Congress, reflecting on their collective aspirations for a free and just South Africa.

    “Seventy years after the adoption of the Freedom Charter and acknowledging that the challenges still facing our country require meaningful input from all of us, South Africans from all walks of life are invited to participate in a National Dialogue that will determine the future of the South Africa we want.

    “Like the adoption of the Freedom Charter, the national dialogue will follow an extensive consultation process including at district and provincial levels,” Ntshavheni said.

    The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Defence Ministers’ Meeting, held in Qingdao, China, concluded on Thursday without the adoption of a joint statement. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that India wanted concerns on terrorism reflected in the final document, which was not acceptable to one particular country, therefore the statement was not adopted.

    At the SCO meeting, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh called for united global action against terrorism, radicalisation, and extremism, citing them as the biggest threats to regional peace and trust.

    MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal told reporters at the weekly media briefing: “I understand that the Defence Ministers could not adopt a joint statement. Certain member countries could not reach consensus on specific issues, and hence the document could not be finalised. India wanted concerns on terrorism to be reflected in the statement, which was not acceptable to one particular country.”

    He added that Rajnath Singh, in his address, urged all SCO member states to unite against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.

    “Raksha Mantri reiterated the importance of holding perpetrators, organisers, financers, and sponsors of terrorism—especially cross-border terrorism—accountable and bringing them to justice. He called on all SCO nations to act in unison to strengthen regional stability and security,” Jaiswal said.

    During his speech, Singh also referred to the recent April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam, which claimed the lives of 26 civilians, including a Nepali national. He said India had exercised its right to self-defence through Operation Sindoor, which targeted and dismantled cross-border terrorist infrastructure.

    Reiterating India’s firm stance, Singh said that “epicentres of terrorism are no longer safe” and urged SCO nations to reject double standards and hold state sponsors of terrorism accountable.

    “We must be in lockstep in our efforts to strengthen stability and security in our neighbourhood,” he asserted.

    The two-day SCO meeting, hosted by China, concluded on Thursday and saw the participation of Defence Ministers from member countries including Russia, Iran, Pakistan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan.

    Singh’s visit to China came just over a month after Operation Sindoor, further underlining India’s security concerns and its zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Ofsted to strengthen inspections through new team structures

    Press release

    Ofsted to strengthen inspections through new team structures

    Following feedback from last year’s Big Listen and the recent consultation on inspection reform, Ofsted has today announced a new structure for inspection teams in schools and further education, focused on improving consistency.

    The new team structure will make the best use of the complementary skills and expertise of Ofsted’s employed His Majesty’s Inspectors (HMI) and its contracted Ofsted inspectors (OIs) – who are often serving practitioners in schools and colleges.  

    The changes mean that following the introduction of the renewed education inspection framework in November 2025:  

    • all schools and further education inspections will be led by current His Majesty’s Inspectors, or OIs with recent HMI experience, drawing on their more in-depth inspection expertise and training  

    • Ofsted will make the best use of OI’s current sector knowledge and experience by deploying them as team inspectors, placing greater emphasis on matching their expertise to specific types of provision to complement the inspection expertise brought by His Majesty’s Inspectors

    This change recognises the value Ofsted places on the unique strengths and expertise of His Majesty’s Inspectors and OIs. By more deliberately and strategically combining the different expertise of His Majesty’s Inspectors and OIs on inspection teams, Ofsted will be able to deliver its renewed approach to education inspection with more insightful, context-aware inspections that will better serve children, learners and education providers.  

    During the Big Listen, Ofsted heard that inspectors do not always have the necessary expertise or experience in the specific types of provision they inspect (for example, primary or special schools, or apprenticeship providers), which makes it harder for them to understand the context the provider is working in. Therefore, from November, most school and further education and skills inspections will have at least one inspector on the team with previous experience of working in a similar type of provision.   

    These changes build on the many improvements Ofsted has already made to make sure inspections are consistent; for example, Fridays are now used to gather teams of His Majesty’s Inspectors for reflection and training, and senior staff hold regular meetings to review inspection outcomes and provide oversight of the most complex cases. 

    Ofsted’s Chief Inspector, Sir Martyn Oliver, said:  

    We want to make sure our inspections are as consistent as possible, from Cornwall to Northumberland. We have already put stronger quality assurance measures in place, and utilising the expertise of our workforce as effectively as we can is another significant step forward.  

    All inspection teams will have the right blend of inspection expertise and current sector insight. This will help us better understand the context of the schools and colleges we inspect, to provide a fair and accurate report for parents.

    Steve Rollett, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Confederation of School Trusts (CST), said:

    It is welcome that Ofsted are taking the issue of consistency seriously. Having the most experienced inspectors lead inspections should support consistency, which would be a positive step.

    We know Ofsted has also committed to making improvements to its proposed toolkits and methodology, and we hope these changes will provide further reassurance on consistency.

    Notes to editors

    • Because of its unique contexts and requirements, our early years inspection model works differently. In early years, inspections are typically conducted by individual inspectors rather than teams.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Moscow introduces artificial intelligence to detect hip osteoarthritis on X-rays.

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Moscow has introduced a new artificial intelligence service to its healthcare system to detect signs of hip osteoarthritis in medical images, making it the 41st modality in which neural networks are helping radiologists, said Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.

    The artificial intelligence algorithm developed by specialists at the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine has undergone thorough testing and is now integrated into the Unified Radiological Information Service (ERIS). “The algorithm automatically identifies potential signs of osteoarthritis – narrowing of the joint space, thickening of the bone, bone spurs, highlighting the affected areas and taking precise measurements,” she said.

    “Currently, artificial intelligence is used in 40 clinical modalities in Moscow. These innovations speed up diagnostics, increase accuracy and reduce the workload of radiologists.”

    Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic joint disease characterized by progressive cartilage degradation and bone remodeling. It is common among older people, but can occur at any age. A new artificial intelligence service deployed in Moscow helps radiologists identify key signs of hip OA, including joint space narrowing, subchondral sclerosis (bone thickening), and osteophyte formation. Such automation reduces the time it takes to interpret images, improves diagnostic accuracy, and allows for earlier therapeutic intervention.

    “The AI service improves the efficiency of early detection of hip arthrosis, which allows for timely initiation of treatment and improved patient outcomes.”

    Yuri Vasiliev, chief consultant in radiology at the Moscow Department of Health, emphasized the clinical effect: “Accurate imaging assessment of hip osteoarthritis allows us to accurately determine the stage of hip OA and justify treatment strategies, such as recommendations for activity and pharmacotherapy. The main clinical signs of osteoarthritis include pain when moving and decreased range of motion in the affected joints.”

    The introduction of AI is the result of Moscow’s five-year efforts to introduce computer vision into healthcare. More than 200 AI services have been tested, and about 100 algorithms have been included in the URIS UMIAS system. Currently, about 50 AI tools analyze medical images in real time, increasing the speed and quality of diagnostics in 40 clinical areas.

    The project is a joint effort between the Moscow Social Development Complex, the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine, and the city’s Department of Information Technology, highlighting Moscow’s commitment to using artificial intelligence to improve healthcare.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Sobyanin: 18 thousand Muscovites became owners of apartments under the renovation program this year

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Moscow Government – Government of Moscow –

    More than 18 thousand Muscovites received new housing under the renovation program in 2025. Sergei Sobyanin spoke about this in his telegram channel.

    “From January to June, over 20 residential complexes were completed in Moscow – twice as many as in the same period last year. One of them is a new building at 5 Ilimskaya Street. There are 230 apartments with a total area of over 13 thousand square meters, including apartments for people with disabilities,” the Moscow Mayor specified.

    Source: Sergei Sobyanin’s Telegram channel @mos_sobyanin 

    The house with glazed balconies and loggias has baskets for air conditioners. The facades are decorated in natural shades. The spacious entrance hall has a stroller room and a concierge room.

    The courtyard underwent comprehensive landscaping, CCTV cameras were installed, sports and children’s playgrounds were equipped, as well as a recreation area.

    Since the beginning of 2025, almost all new buildings in the city have been built with the help of prefab technologies. The method allows to reduce construction time by 30-50 percent. The service life of such buildings is 100 years or more. The houses meet all the standards of modern and high-quality housing.

    The first floors of new buildings are designed as non-residential — pharmacies, shops, leisure centers and other social and household facilities are opened there. All residential complexes under the renovation program are built taking into account the criteria of a barrier-free environment. Wide passages in entrances, vestibules and elevator halls are located on the same level, without high steps, and pedestrian passages in the courtyard are designed so that it is comfortable for both parents with strollers and people with disabilities to move around.

    The service is available for participants in the renovation program “Moving Assistance”. City residents are provided with free services of movers and a car for transporting things. Since the beginning of the year, more than 4.5 thousand families have used the service.

    “In total, this year we plan to build about two million square meters of housing under the renovation program. This will allow us to provide new apartments to about 70 thousand city residents,” the Moscow Mayor added.

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

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