  • MIL-Evening Report: The Rainbow Warrior saga. Part 2: Nuclear refugees in the Pacific – the evacuation of Rongelap

    COMMENTARY:  By Eugene Doyle

    On the last voyage of the Rainbow Warrior prior to its sinking by French secret agents in Auckland harbour on 10 July 1985 the ship had evacuated the entire population of 320 from Rongelap in the Marshall Islands.

    After conducting dozens of above-ground nuclear explosions, the US government had left the population in conditions that suggested the islanders were being used as guinea pigs to gain knowledge of the effects of radiation.

    Cancers, birth defects, and genetic damage ripped through the population; their former fisheries and land are contaminated to this day.

    Denied adequate support from the US – they turned to Greenpeace with an SOS: help us leave our ancestral homeland; it is killing our people. The Rainbow Warrior answered the call.

    Human lab rats or our brothers and sisters?
     Dr Merrill Eisenbud, a physicist in the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) famously said in 1956 of the Marshall Islanders:  “While it is true that these people do not live, I might say, the way Westerners do, civilised people, it is nevertheless also true that they are more like us than the mice.”

    Dr Eisenbud also opined that exposure “would provide valuable information on the effects of radiation on human beings.”  That research continues to this day.

    A half century of testing nuclear bombs
     Within a year of dropping nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the US moved part of its test programme to the central Pacific.  Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands was used for atmospheric explosions from 1946 with scant regard for the indigenous population.

    In 1954, the Castle Bravo test exploded a 15-megaton bomb —  one thousand times more deadly than the one dropped on Hiroshima.  As a result, the population of Rongelap were exposed to 200 roentgens of radiation, considered life-threatening without medical intervention. And it was.

    Part of the Marshall Islands, with Bikini Atoll and Rongelap in the top left. Image: www.solidarity.co.nz

    Total US tests equaled more than 7000 Hiroshimas.  The Clinton administration released the aptly-named Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments (ACHRE), report in January 1994 in which it acknowledged:

    “What followed was a program by the US government — initially the Navy and then the AEC and its successor agencies — to provide medical care for the exposed population, while at the same time trying to learn as much as possible about the long-term biological effects of radiation exposure. The dual purpose of what is now a DOE medical program has led to a view by the Marshallese that they were being used as ‘guinea pigs’ in a ‘radiation experiment’.

    This impression was reinforced by the fact that the islanders were deliberately left in place and then evacuated, having been heavily radiated. Three years later they were told it was “safe to return” despite the lead scientist calling Rongelap “by far the most contaminated place in the world”.

    Significant compensation paid by the US to the Marshall Islands has proven inadequate given the scale of the contamination.  To some degree, the US has also used money to achieve capture of elite interest groups and secure ongoing control of the islands.

    Entrusted to the US, the Marshall Islanders were treated like the civilians of Nagasaki
     The US took the Marshall Islands from Japan in 1944.  The only “right” it has to be there was granted by the United Nations which in 1947 established the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, to be administered by the United States.

    What followed was an abuse of trust worse than rapists at a state care facility.  Using the very powers entrusted to it to protect the Marshallese, the US instead used the islands as a nuclear laboratory — violating both the letter and spirit of international law.

    Fellow white-dominated countries like Australia and New Zealand couldn’t have cared less and let the indigenous people be irradiated for decades.

    The betrayal of trust by the US was comprehensive and remains so to this day:

    Under Article 76 of the UN Charter, all trusteeship agreements carried obligations. The administering power was required to:

    • Promote the political, economic, social, and educational advancement of the people
    • Protect the rights and well-being of the inhabitants
    • Help them advance toward self-government or independence.

    Under Article VI, the United States solemnly pledged to “Protect the inhabitants against the loss of their lands and resources.”  Very similar to sentiments in New Zealand’s Treaty of Waitangi.  Within a few years the Americans were exploding the biggest nuclear bombs in history over the islands.

    Within a year of the US assuming trusteeship of the islands, another pillar of international law came into effect: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) — which affirms the inherent dignity and equal rights of all humans. Exposing colonised peoples to extreme radiation for weapons testing is a racist affront to this.

    America has a long history of making treaties and fine speeches and then exploiting indigenous peoples.  Last year, I had the sobering experience of reading American military historian Peter Cozzens’ The Earth is Weeping, a history of the “Indian wars” for the American West.

    The past is not dead: the Marshall Islands are a hive of bases, laboratories and missile testing; Americans are also incredibly busy attacking the population in Gaza today.

    Eyes of Fire – the last voyage of the Rainbow Warrior
     Had the French not sunk the Rainbow Warrior after it reached Auckland from the Rongelap evacuation, it would have led a flotilla to protest nuclear testing at Moruroa in French Polynesia.  So the bookends of this article are the abuse of defenceless people in the charge of one nuclear power — the US —  and the abuse of New Zealand and the peoples of French Polynesia by another nuclear power — France.

    This incredible story, and much more, is the subject of David Robie’s outstanding book Eyes of Fire: The Last Voyage and Legacy of the Rainbow Warrior, published by Little Island Press, which has been relaunched to mark the 40th anniversary of the French terrorist attack.

    A new prologue by former prime minister Helen Clark and a preface by Greenpeace’s Bunny McDiarmid, along with an extensive postscript which bring us up to the present day, underline why the past is not dead; it’s with us right now.

    Between them, France and the US have exploded more than 300 nuclear bombs in the Pacific. Few people are told this; few people know this.

    Today, a matrix of issues combine — the ongoing effects of nuclear contamination, sea rise imperilling Pacific nations, colonialism still posing immense challenges to people in the Marshall Islands, Kanaky New Caledonia and in many parts of our region.

    Unsung heroes
     Our media never ceases to share the pronouncements of European leaders and news from the US and Europe but the leaders and issues of the Pacific are seldom heard. The heroes of the antinuclear movement should be household names in Australia and New Zealand.

    Vanuatu’s great leader Father Walter Lini; Oscar Temaru, Mayor, later President of French Polynesia; Senator Jeton Anjain, Darlene Keju-Johnson and so many others.

    Do we know them?  Have we heard their voices?

    Jobod Silk, climate activist, said in a speech welcoming the Rainbow Warrior III to Majuro earlier this year:  “Our crusade for nuclear justice intertwines with our fight against the tides.”

    Nuclear-Free and Independent Pacific . . . the Rainbow Warrior taking on board Rongelap islanders ready for their first of four relocation voyages to Mejatto island. Image: David Robie/Eyes of Fire

    Former Tuvalu PM Enele Sapoaga castigated Australia for the AUKUS submarine deal which he said “was crafted in secret by former Prime Minister Scott Morrison with no public discussion.”

    He challenged the bigger regional powers, particularly Australia and New Zealand, to remember that the existential threat faced by Pacific nations comes first from climate change, and reminded New Zealanders of the commitment to keeping the South Pacific nuclear-free.

    Hinamoeura Cross, a Tahitian anti-nuclear activist and politician, said in a 2019 UN speech: “Today, the damage is done. My people are sick. For 30 years we were the mice in France’s laboratory.”

    Until we learn their stories and know their names as well as we know those of Marco Rubio or Keir Starmer, we will remain strangers in our own lands.

    The Pacific owes them, along with the people of Greenpeace, a huge debt.  They put their bodies on the line to stop the aggressors. Greenpeace photographer Fernando Pereira, killed by the French in 1985, was just one of many victims, one of many heroes.

    A great way to honour the sacrifice of those who stood up for justice, who stood for peace and a nuclear-free Pacific, and who honoured our own national identity would be to buy David Robie’s excellent book.

    You cannot sink a rainbow.

  • MIL-OSI Africa: President highlights investment opportunities at SA-Austria Business Forum

    Source: Government of South Africa

    President Cyril Ramaphosa has reaffirmed South Africa’s commitment to strengthening bilateral trade and investment ties with Austria, highlighting a range of mutually beneficial opportunities across key economic sectors.

    Speaking at the South Africa-Austria Business Forum in Pretoria on Friday, President Ramaphosa underscored the importance of deepening economic collaboration between the two countries.

    “It is my pleasure to address the South Africa-Austria Business Forum at this important time, as we seek to further deepen economic ties between our countries. 

    “Austria and South Africa enjoy strong bilateral trade and investment relations spanning energy, industrial technology, pharmaceuticals and vocational training,” he said.

    The President noted that trade between the two countries has been steadily increasing, with several Austrian companies operating in South Africa through direct investments, distribution, sales offices and service projects.

    “There are many more opportunities for investment by Austrian companies in South Africa. There are opportunities in areas such as renewable energy generation, agro-processing and component manufacturing opportunities. 

    “There are also opportunities in critical minerals beneficiations, pharmaceuticals, technology and innovation, among others,” President Ramaphosa said.

    South Africa, he said, is showing signs of recovery following recent economic challenges. The improvement in electricity supply and a moderation in inflation are among the encouraging signs.

    “We have embarked on a massive infrastructure drive, with key investments concentrated in energy, transport and logistics, water and sanitation, and digital infrastructure,” the President said.

    He detailed the role of the country’s Infrastructure Fund, which has mobilised blended financing to support major projects across several sectors. At the same time, structural reforms are being implemented to enhance the efficiency and competitiveness of energy and logistics sectors.

    As the global economy transitions towards greener alternatives, President Ramaphosa said South Africa is positioning itself as a front-runner in the green and digital economy.

    “South Africa has developed a regulatory framework to harness the potential of the hydrogen economy. We are actively developing an industrial plan to support the growth of electric vehicle and battery production,” he said. 

    This industrial strategy includes incentives for manufacturers, investment in charging infrastructure and localisation of components. It is supported by an enabling policy environment, including the expansion of special economic zones and active participation in the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). 

    “Our special economic zones offer an internationally competitive value proposition with an attractive suite of incentives,” he noted.

    President Ramaphosa said the AfCFTA will remove trade barriers and unlock greater investment opportunities, particularly for Austrian businesses looking to enter new markets across the continent.

    “It will drive a wave of industrialisation and create dynamic regional value chains. This presents opportunities for Austrian businesses and investors,” he said.

    Highlighting South Africa’s role as an anchor in regional value chains, he said the country’s manufacturing sector sources inputs from across the continent, which are then exported as finished goods.

    South Africa also offers rich reserves of critical minerals for the energy transition, especially platinum group metals, giving it a competitive edge in producing sustainable energy technologies.

    Beyond investment, President Ramaphosa said, South African businesses are keen to explore Austrian opportunities, particularly in organic food markets, renewable energy, and supply chains across mining, automotive and other sectors.

    “There is high demand for our agricultural products in the EU, including high-quality South African wines and speciality foods like rooibos,” he said.

    On tourism, the President expressed the country’s desire to see more Austrian tourists visiting South Africa and vice versa, with a particular interest in eco, sports, and heritage tourism.

    He also welcomed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding earlier in the day on technical and vocational training.

    “We want to learn from Austria on how to achieve the delicate balance between building the workforce of the future and growing the skills needed by the economy today,” President Ramaphosa said. 

    Closing his address, the President affirmed the South African government’s continued commitment to private sector collaboration as a catalyst for economic growth and job creation.

    “By working together with all social partners, we have embarked on a new era of growth, progress and inclusive, shared prosperity. I am confident that the engagements, discussions and networking sessions from this forum will yield great benefits for both South African and Austrian companies. 

    “It is clear from this Business Forum that there are abundant opportunities for even greater partnership, progress and shared prosperity,” he said. – SAnews.gov.za

  • MIL-OSI: Bitcoin Solaris Enters Final Phase of Presale Ahead of Mobile Mining App Launch

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TALLINN, Estonia, July 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — When you hear “Bitcoin 2.0,” your first instinct might be to roll your eyes and think, “Here we go again.” But once you dig past the noise, Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S) emerges with something most imitators lack: a powerful technical backbone, a wealth-building strategy for the everyday user, and a clear roadmap to actual utility. As altcoin chatter and speculative memecoins begin to fade, the spotlight is shifting toward something with more meat on the bone. That something is Bitcoin Solaris.

    The Next Generation of Wealth Creation

    What’s fueling the hype around Bitcoin Solaris is more than a name. This project is designed from the ground up to empower individuals to build real financial momentum. Instead of betting on token prices alone, BTC-S is offering an ecosystem where users can earn, transact, and contribute meaningfully.

    Its mobile-first mining solution is already getting crypto circles buzzing. Through the exciting release of the upcoming Solaris Nova app, users will be able to mine BTC-S directly from their smartphones, bringing decentralized rewards into the palms of over 6 billion mobile users worldwide. Whether you’re in a coffee shop or on a bus, your device could be earning for you.

    But mining is only part of the equation. Bitcoin Solaris doesn’t just reward presence, it rewards performance. The rewards distribution system accounts for:

    • Contribution score based on device type and workload.
    • Time-weighted bonuses that increase as users stay longer.
    • Task complexity and overall network demand.

    This isn’t just mining, it’s intelligent participation. The kind that turns casual users into long-term holders.

    The Tech That Powers the Surge

    Let’s talk power. Bitcoin Solaris runs on a unique hybrid consensus model that combines Proof-of-Work (PoW) with Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS), operating across a dual-layer architecture. It’s a bit like driving a racecar and piloting a drone at the same time.

    • The base layer uses SHA-256 for PoW mining, ensuring security and compatibility with existing hardware.
    • The Solaris Layer introduces DPoS with 21 rotating validators, providing scalability with 15-second blocks and dynamic block sizes.
    • Cross-layer synchronization ensures that state changes and validator sets remain aligned.
    • This dual system enables BTC-S to hit up to 100,000 transactions per second on the Solaris Layer with 2-second finality.

    In short, this thing flies. And it does so without sacrificing decentralization or security. It even implements zero-knowledge proofs for added privacy, and a multi-layered defense against both 51% and long-range attacks.

    It’s no surprise then that many crypto veterans are calling it one of the most technically complete projects of the year.

    Audited and Backed by the Community

    Bitcoin Solaris has passed two comprehensive smart contract audits. The first by Cyberscope and the second by Freshcoins, both of which confirmed the strength and integrity of BTC-S’s core codebase.

    Community conversations on Telegram and X continue to grow daily. With over 13,650 unique users already onboarded and more pouring in, this is no quiet presale.

    Crypto Show recently released a detailed review covering why so many enthusiasts are paying attention. From mobile mining to on-chain scalability, the breakdown highlights just how massive the upside potential really is.

    Presale Momentum Builds Toward a $20 Launch

    We’re now entering the final sprint. Bitcoin Solaris is in the last few hours of Phase 10 of its limited 90-day presale. Here’s what you need to know:

    • Current price: $10
    • Next phase: $11
    • Launch price: $20
    • Bonus: 6%
    • Expected launch date: July 31, 2025
    • Funds raised: Over $6 million
    • User base: More than 13,650 participants

    This is shaping up to be one of the fastest-growing and most explosive presales of 2025. With only around 4 weeks left, the clock is ticking. Investors are eyeing a 150% return right at launch, with many seeing this as a chance to ride the next big Bitcoin-like wave.

    This Is the Mobile-First Wealth Engine Crypto Promised You

    To receive your tokens on launch day, Bitcoin Solaris recommends using Trust Wallet or Metamask for seamless token delivery.

    Real-World Utility Across Every Sector

    BTC-S isn’t just fast, it’s functional. The ecosystem supports a wide range of smart contract applications written in Rust and built initially using Solana’s programming tools. These include:

    • DeFi tools like lending, borrowing, and DEXs
    • Enterprise utilities, including supply chain and tokenized real estate
    • Gaming, NFTs, and play-to-earn environments
    • IoT applications with secure micropayments
    • Governance platforms with DAOs and on-chain voting

    And that’s only scratching the surface. The infrastructure is built to scale across industries, use cases, and devices without bottlenecks.

    If you’re curious about mining potential, check the estimated earnings through the Bitcoin Solaris mining calculator.

    Final Verdict

    Bitcoin Solaris is designed to deliver a scalable, accessible, and rewarding blockchain experience for real users. With strong technical foundations and a focus on usability, it offers a comprehensive solution for long-term participation and growth.

    As the presale enters its final phases, early supporters have a unique opportunity to join a rapidly growing ecosystem before launch. The momentum is building—and this could be a defining moment for those seeking meaningful involvement in the next wave of blockchain innovation.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TALLINN, Estonia, July 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — When you hear “Bitcoin 2.0,” your first instinct might be to roll your eyes and think, “Here we go again.” But once you dig past the noise, Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S) emerges with something most imitators lack: a powerful technical backbone, a wealth-building strategy for the everyday user, and a clear roadmap to actual utility. As altcoin chatter and speculative memecoins begin to fade, the spotlight is shifting toward something with more meat on the bone. That something is Bitcoin Solaris.

    The Next Generation of Wealth Creation

    What’s fueling the hype around Bitcoin Solaris is more than a name. This project is designed from the ground up to empower individuals to build real financial momentum. Instead of betting on token prices alone, BTC-S is offering an ecosystem where users can earn, transact, and contribute meaningfully.

    Its mobile-first mining solution is already getting crypto circles buzzing. Through the exciting release of the upcoming Solaris Nova app, users will be able to mine BTC-S directly from their smartphones, bringing decentralized rewards into the palms of over 6 billion mobile users worldwide. Whether you’re in a coffee shop or on a bus, your device could be earning for you.

    But mining is only part of the equation. Bitcoin Solaris doesn’t just reward presence, it rewards performance. The rewards distribution system accounts for:

    • Contribution score based on device type and workload.
    • Time-weighted bonuses that increase as users stay longer.
    • Task complexity and overall network demand.

    This isn’t just mining, it’s intelligent participation. The kind that turns casual users into long-term holders.

    The Tech That Powers the Surge

    Let’s talk power. Bitcoin Solaris runs on a unique hybrid consensus model that combines Proof-of-Work (PoW) with Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS), operating across a dual-layer architecture. It’s a bit like driving a racecar and piloting a drone at the same time.

    • The base layer uses SHA-256 for PoW mining, ensuring security and compatibility with existing hardware.
    • The Solaris Layer introduces DPoS with 21 rotating validators, providing scalability with 15-second blocks and dynamic block sizes.
    • Cross-layer synchronization ensures that state changes and validator sets remain aligned.
    • This dual system enables BTC-S to hit up to 100,000 transactions per second on the Solaris Layer with 2-second finality.

    In short, this thing flies. And it does so without sacrificing decentralization or security. It even implements zero-knowledge proofs for added privacy, and a multi-layered defense against both 51% and long-range attacks.

    It’s no surprise then that many crypto veterans are calling it one of the most technically complete projects of the year.

    Audited and Backed by the Community

    Bitcoin Solaris has passed two comprehensive smart contract audits. The first by Cyberscope and the second by Freshcoins, both of which confirmed the strength and integrity of BTC-S’s core codebase.

    Community conversations on Telegram and X continue to grow daily. With over 13,650 unique users already onboarded and more pouring in, this is no quiet presale.

    Crypto Show recently released a detailed review covering why so many enthusiasts are paying attention. From mobile mining to on-chain scalability, the breakdown highlights just how massive the upside potential really is.

    Presale Momentum Builds Toward a $20 Launch

    We’re now entering the final sprint. Bitcoin Solaris is in the last few hours of Phase 10 of its limited 90-day presale. Here’s what you need to know:

    • Current price: $10
    • Next phase: $11
    • Launch price: $20
    • Bonus: 6%
    • Expected launch date: July 31, 2025
    • Funds raised: Over $6 million
    • User base: More than 13,650 participants

    This is shaping up to be one of the fastest-growing and most explosive presales of 2025. With only around 4 weeks left, the clock is ticking. Investors are eyeing a 150% return right at launch, with many seeing this as a chance to ride the next big Bitcoin-like wave.

    This Is the Mobile-First Wealth Engine Crypto Promised You

    To receive your tokens on launch day, Bitcoin Solaris recommends using Trust Wallet or Metamask for seamless token delivery.

    Real-World Utility Across Every Sector

    BTC-S isn’t just fast, it’s functional. The ecosystem supports a wide range of smart contract applications written in Rust and built initially using Solana’s programming tools. These include:

    • DeFi tools like lending, borrowing, and DEXs
    • Enterprise utilities, including supply chain and tokenized real estate
    • Gaming, NFTs, and play-to-earn environments
    • IoT applications with secure micropayments
    • Governance platforms with DAOs and on-chain voting

    And that’s only scratching the surface. The infrastructure is built to scale across industries, use cases, and devices without bottlenecks.

    Final Verdict

    Bitcoin Solaris is designed to deliver a scalable, accessible, and rewarding blockchain experience for real users. With strong technical foundations and a focus on usability, it offers a comprehensive solution for long-term participation and growth.

    As the presale enters its final phases, early supporters have a unique opportunity to join a rapidly growing ecosystem before launch. The momentum is building—and this could be a defining moment for those seeking meaningful involvement in the next wave of blockchain innovation.

    BEIJING, July 6 (Xinhua) — A Chinese adaptation of “The Marriage of Figaro,” one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s most famous operas, will be performed at the National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA) of China from July 15 to 20.

    The opera, inspired by the novel by Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais, which thundered during the Age of Enlightenment in France, became a hymn to the triumph of the common French people over the hypocritical and arrogant aristocracy.

    This sparkling opera debuted at Vienna’s Burgtheater in 1786 with Mozart as conductor.

    In August 2013, the premiere of the opera “The Marriage of Figaro” staged by the National Center for Performing Arts took place in Beijing, which gained a resounding success and warm recognition from the public. -0-

    Miss Law met French National Centre of Cinema Deputy General Manager Olivier Henrard on Friday. The centre oversees French policies relating to cinema, the audiovisual arts, digital creation, and video games.

     

    Miss Law highlighted the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government’s commitment to supporting the creative industries and strengthening global partnerships in filmmaking, and pointed to significant potential for deeper collaboration between Hong Kong and France in this field.

     

    Miss Law also met Deputy Mayor of Paris Arnaud Ngatcha to discuss opportunities for the enhancement of cultural and tourism ties between Hong Kong and France.

     

    She briefed him on the Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival, a signature annual event organised by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, and shared her plans to explore potential collaborations with Bordeaux’s wine industry during her upcoming visit to the city.

     

    Mr Ngatcha expressed openness to strengthening partnerships in the fields of culture and tourism and shared insights on how to engage local communities when hosting large-scale events, with particular reference to Paris’s experience in staging the Olympic Games.

     

    Earlier on Friday, Miss Law toured Notre-Dame de Paris, where she learnt about the cathedral’s ongoing restoration and its significance as a global tourist attraction.

     

    The culture chief also met Grand Palais President Didier Fusillier, with discussions focusing on the versatility of the Grand Palais as a venue for cultural, sporting, and other major events.

     

    Inspired by its innovative use of space for events and exhibitions, Miss Law remarked on the potential for adopting similar approaches at venues in Hong Kong, particularly the Kai Tak Sports Park. She also outlined her vision of enhancing Hong Kong’s global profile through multi-disciplinary events of varying scales.

     

    Yesterday, Miss Law visited the Musée National des Arts Asiatiques – Guimet, and the Musée d’Orsay, two of Paris’s most renowned museums. She remarked on the distinctive cultural and artistic importance of each institution.

     

    With a view to reinforcing Hong Kong as a premier cultural hub, Miss Law garnered ideas for strengthening cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and France through exhibitions, partnerships, and knowledge-sharing.

  • Wimbledon: Djokovic hits century to lead veterans into last 16, Krejcikova crashes

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Seven-times champion Novak Djokovic scored his 100th match win at Wimbledon and led the march of the old guard into the last 16 on Saturday while an ailing Barbora Krejcikova’s title defence ended in defeat and tears.

    World number one Jannik Sinner was at his ruthless best yet again as the Italian gathered momentum in his quest for a maiden All England Club title while American Ben Shelton and Australian Alex de Minaur announced themselves as dark horses.

    Djokovic is on an altogether different plane as he looks to capture his eighth title to match Roger Federer’s record on the pristine lawns of London and his 25th major overall to surpass Margaret Court on the all-time list of champions.

    The 38-year-old showed exactly why Wimbledon could be his best chance of achieving the elusive targets when the 2023 and 2024 runner-up dismantled Davis Cup teammate Miomir Kecmanovic 6-3 6-0 6-4 in a little under two hours.

    A ton of victories put him among elite company as the sixth seed became only the third player to achieve that feat at the tournament after nine-times champion Martina Navratilova and Swiss great Federer.

    “Wimbledon is a favourite and a dream tournament for not just myself, but probably the majority of players. Growing up, most of the kids dream of playing here and winning here,” Djokovic said.

    “I’ve been blessed to do it multiple times. Any history that I make in my favourite tournament, I’m blessed.”

    Grigor Dimitrov, the Bulgarian 34-year-old, also scored his 100th match win across the four Grand Slams when he quelled the challenge of Austrian Sebastian Ofner 6-3 6-4 7-6(0).

    Joining him was fellow veteran Marin Cilic, the Croatian 36-year-old getting past spirited Spaniard Jaume Munar 6-3 3-6 6-2 6-4 to book a meeting with Italian 22nd seed Flavio Cobolli who took apart big-serving Czech teenager Jakub Mensik 6-2 6-4 6-2.

    While Cobolli may not be relishing a meeting with the tricky Cilic, his compatriot Sinner will welcome the chance to test his metronomic hitting against Dimitrov’s elegant approach in what promises to be a classic.

    SUBLIME SINNER

    A sublime Sinner booked that clash with a 6-1 6-3 6-1 hammering of Pedro Martinez. The top seed, who has lost just 17 games in his first three matches, equalled the professional era record for fewest games dropped to make the Wimbledon fourth round along the way.

    “About the games lost, this is whatever,” Sinner said, his grounded nature coming into sharp focus.

    “I’m not looking on these kind of records. I know everything can change very quickly from one round to the other.”

    After the unexpected high of last year’s title triumph, Krejcikova came crashing down when she was beaten 2-6 6-3 6-4 by American 10th seed Emma Navarro in a disjointed Court One contest.

    The distressed 29-year-old Czech, who has endured her share of injuries this season, was in tears as she prepared to serve to stay in the tournament at 3-5 in the deciding set before eventually crashing out.

    “It was tough, neither of us played our best tennis, she was dealing with some injuries and I was dealing with whatever I was dealing with,” Navarro said, adding that it was difficult to focus when her opponent was struggling.

    “It’s not easy to be composed. Part of you is saying just put a bunch of balls in the court and that’s all you need to do. But then you trick yourself into not playing the way that you want to play.”

    Krejcikova’s exit and 2022 champion Elena Rybakina’s 7-6(6) 6-3 defeat by Danish powerhouse Clara Tauson means a first-time women’s champion will be crowned at the Grand Slam for the eighth consecutive year.

    Iga Swiatek will hope she can be the one after the five-times major champion secured a 6-2 6-3 victory over American Danielle Collins, whose compatriot Hailey Baptiste crashed to 18-year-old Russian Mirra Andreeva 6-1 6-3.

    Shelton gave Americans something to smile about when the powerful left-hander made quick work of Hungarian lucky loser Marton Fucsovics 6-3 7-6(4) 6-2 while De Minaur swatted aside Dane August Holmgren 6-4 7-6(5) 6-3 to go through.

  • Reigning champions England beaten 2-1 by France in Women’s Euro opener

    Source: Government of India (4)

    France forwards Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Sandy Baltimore scored first-half goals as they beat reigning champions England 2-1 in their Women’s Euro Group D opener on Saturday, handing Lionesses manager Sarina Wiegman her first defeat at the finals of the competition.

    After championship-winning runs with Netherlands in 2017 and England in 2022, Wiegman came into the game unbeaten in 12 games at the Euro finals, but the beginning of the end of that run came when Katoto scored from close range in the 36th minute.

    Her goal was the result of a brilliantly simple counter-attack, with Elisa De Almeida winning the ball and sending it down the line for Delphine Cascarino to chase and she squared it perfectly for Katoto to score with a simple finish.

    The second goal three minutes later was a virtuoso solo performance from Sandy Baltimore, who dribbled and jinked and almost lost the ball before firing it high over Hampton into the net from a tight angle.

    An uncharacteristically rudderless England enjoyed plenty of possession but struggled to string together their passes, and the French pressed cleverly, pouncing on any poor touches to win the ball and force the English on to the back foot.

    England did not register a shot on target until Keira Walsh reduced the deficit with a strike from distance in the 87th minute, prompting a late charge from the Lionesses that almost saw them snatch an unlikely point.

    Alessia Russo, who had an early goal ruled out after a VAR check, and Grace Clinton both went close and 19-year-old substitute Michelle Agyemang had a goal-bound effort blocked by Selma Bacha, who threw herself at everything to protect the French goal in the closing minutes as her side hung on to win.

    Netherlands, who beat debutantes Wales 3-0 earlier on Saturday, top the group after the first round of games ahead of their clash with England on Wednesday in Zurich, while France can book their spot in the knockout stage with a win over Wales in St. Gallen the same evening.

    Wiegman said that the Lionesses had played into France’s hands by trying to play the ball short too often, leading to her side becoming the first reigning Women’s Euro champions to lose their opener at the next tournament.

    “We needed to get out of the first press and skip (a player), and that harmed us a bit and they scored goals. At the end we played with four attackers, we really tried to get the goal over the line, but we didn’t,” she told broadcaster ITV.

    “When we were out of their press, we were too sloppy. We know that they are really strong on the counter, they are strong players and fast players… we know France are really good, but we caused a little bit our own problems.”

    England captain Leah Williamson blamed individual errors while defending one-on-one for the defeat, but was already looking past it.

    “Everyone take responsibility for themselves and have a look. Tomorrow we have a new game plan, different places available and different opposition,” she said.

    France’s Cascarino picked up the player of the game award and said her side’s success came as no surprise to her.

    “I was expecting a good game from us. We worked a lot to prepare for this English team, and it’s always possible to start on a good note,” she told reporters.

    “We got a fright in the beginning but we remained calm and we managed to get to our objective. We stuck to the game plan, and I believe we really controlled the game.”

    PARIS, July 4 — French President Emmanuel Macron met with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Friday, pledging to jointly promote multilateralism and strengthen coordination against hegemonic conflicts and bloc confrontation.

    During their meeting at the Elysee Palace, Macron asked Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, to convey his best wishes and friendly regards to Chinese President Xi Jinping.

    Macron noted that France and China share a broad consensus on numerous important issues, including advocating multilateralism and adhering to international laws. France and China, both permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, bear even greater responsibilities as today’s world is facing challenges of growing uncertainty and unpredictability.

    The French side looks forward to strengthening policy coordination with China on international economic, financial, and global governance issues, jointly addressing global challenges, injecting more vitality into multilateralism, and preventing the world from falling into hegemonic conflicts and bloc confrontations, Macron said.

    He said the European Union and China should make strategic choices to become each other’s predictable and trustworthy friends and partners on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. The French side places great importance on developing France-China relations and welcomes more Chinese investment in France to develop a more balanced economic and trade relationship.

    He expressed hope to visit China again at an appropriate time.

    Wang conveyed President Xi’s warm regards to Macron, stating that China is willing to work with France to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, prepare for high-level exchanges in the next phase, and deepen cooperation in all fields.

    China and France are comprehensive strategic partners and two major stabilizing forces in the world, Wang noted, stressing that the more turbulent the international situation becomes, the more the strategic value of China-France relations is highlighted.

    China believes that the trend of multi-polarization is unstoppable, and the trend of globalization is irreversible, Wang said, emphasizing that the 80th anniversary of the United Nations should be taken as an opportunity to further strengthen the UN’s core role and ensure it plays its due role.

    He said China is willing to strengthen strategic communication and united cooperation with France, jointly practice multilateralism, oppose unilateral bullying, and resist bloc confrontations, so as to inject more certainty and predictability into a world of change and turmoil, promote equal and orderly multi-polarization and universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, and work together to build a community with a shared future for mankind.

    He stated that China is advancing toward high-quality development, committed to building a new, higher-level open economic system, creating a world-class business environment that is market-oriented, law-based, and internationalized, while actively advancing the strategy of expanding domestic demand.

    China is willing to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with France and hopes that the French side will provide a more favorable and fair environment for Chinese enterprises to invest and operate in France, he said.

    China and the EU have resolved the brandy issue through friendly consultations, noted Wang, expressing the hope that France, as a core major power in the EU, will urge the EU side to properly address China-EU trade and economic disputes and actively respond to China’s concerns.

    The two sides also exchanged views on the Ukraine crisis, the Gaza situation, the Iranian nuclear issue, and other topics.

  • Musk announces forming of ‘America Party’ in further break from Trump

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    The tattered bromance between Republican President Donald Trump and his main campaign financier Elon Musk took another fractious turn on Saturday when the space and automotive billionaire announced the formation of a new political party, saying Trump’s “big, beautiful” tax bill would bankrupt America.

    A day after asking his followers on his X platform whether a new U.S. political party should be created, Musk declared in a post on Saturday that “Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.”

    “By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it!” he wrote.

    The announcement from Musk comes after Trump signed his self-styled “big, beautiful” tax-cut and spending bill into law on Friday, which Musk fiercely opposed.

    Musk, who became the word’s richest man thanks to his Tesla car company and his SpaceX satellite firm, spent hundreds of millions on Trump’s re-election and led the Department of Government Efficiency from the start of the president’s second term aimed at slashing government spending.

    The two have since fallen out spectacularly over disagreements about the bill.

    Musk said previously that he would start a new political party and spend money to unseat lawmakers who supported the bill.

    Trump earlier this week threatened to cut off the billions of dollars in subsidies that Musk’s companies receive from the federal government.

    Republicans have expressed concern that Musk’s on-again, off-again feud with Trump could hurt their chances to protect their majority in the 2026 midterm congressional elections.

    Asked on X what was the one thing that made him go from loving Trump to attacking him, Musk said: “Increasing the deficit from an already insane $2T under Biden to $2.5T. This will bankrupt the country.”

    He referenced the growth of Greece from subjugation to preeminence in the ancient world in another tweet, saying: “The way we’re going to crack the uniparty system is by using a variant of how Epaminondas shattered the myth of Spartan invincibility at Leuctra: Extremely concentrated force at a precise location on the battlefield.”

    There was no immediate comment from Trump or the White House on Musk’s announcement.

    The feud with Trump, often described as one between the world’s richest man and the world’s most powerful, has led to several precipitous falls in Tesla’s share price.

    The stock soared after Trump’s November reelection and hit a high of more than $488 in December, before losing more than half of its value in April and closing last week out at $315.35.

    Despite Musk’s deep pockets, breaking the Republican-Democratic duopoly will be a tall order, given that it has dominated American political life for more than 160 years, while Trump’s approval ratings in polls in his second term have generally held firm above 40 percent, despite often divisive policies.

    During a working visit to Krasnoyarsk Krai, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko assessed the infrastructure of the Institute of Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences and, together with Krasnoyarsk Krai Governor Mikhail Kotyukov, spoke with scientists.

    The Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Krasnoyarsk has youth laboratories where specialists conduct applied research within the framework of state and commercial orders. The main customers are enterprises interested in the latest technical solutions.

    The Deputy Prime Minister noted the demand for such research and development among companies. Over three years, from 2023 to 2025, youth laboratories of the Kirensky Institute of Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences attracted more than 800 million rubles in extra-budgetary funding – this is a high figure.

    Krasnoyarsk scientists presented research conducted by youth laboratories to improve the quality of Russian communications satellites. This includes upgrading onboard antennas, improving payloads, and studying metasurfaces.

    On the campus of the Siberian Federal University (SFU), Dmitry Chernyshenko and Mikhail Kotyukov discussed preparations for the World Youth Festival forum in Krasnoyarsk in 2026. The forum will bring together 10,000 delegates aged 14 to 35, half of whom will be foreign guests. SFU will be the main venue for the forum. The goal of such events is to demonstrate Russia’s capabilities and potential in the field of international youth cooperation.

    In 2024, Krasnoyarsk Krai was already one of 30 subjects of the Russian Federation where events of the regional program of the World Youth Festival were held, which took place in the federal territory of Sirius in Sochi. Then the region received delegations from 21 countries. Krasnoyarsk was visited, in particular, by representatives of Spain, Argentina, Turkey, Indonesia, Egypt, Mexico, Congo, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan.

    Dmitry Chernyshenko assessed the work of the Regional Coordination Center of Krasnoyarsk Krai, where data from various state information systems is received in real time.

    The Deputy Prime Minister also visited the Holy Dormition Monastery and its cultural center.

    In addition, Dmitry Chernyshenko held a working meeting with the President of the Russian Student Sports Union Sergey Kryukov. During it, they discussed the development of youth sports. The Deputy Prime Minister noted the importance of this work for achieving the goal set by President Vladimir Putin – to involve 70% of Russian citizens in systematic physical education and sports by 2030.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: UNDRR and INTOSAI WGEA deepen collaboration on environmental auditing for disaster risk reduction

    Source: UNISDR Disaster Risk Reduction

    The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) joined global auditors at the Assembly of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) Working Group on Environmental Auditing (WGEA), that took place in Malta from 1 to 3 July 2025. Represented by Mr. Animesh Kumar, Head of the UNDRR Office in Bonn, UNDRR’s engagement underscores its growing collaboration with WGEA to strengthen national oversight of disaster risk reduction (DRR) through environmental auditing.

    Driving risk-informed governance through auditing

    Supreme Audit Institutions (SAIs) are key national actors in ensuring governments are prevent and are prepared for disasters and climate-related shocks. Through WGEA, INTOSAI supports SAIs in conducting performance audits that evaluate how well countries manage environmental risks-including resilience to floods, extreme heat, and other natural hazards.

    UNDRR’s participation at the WGEA Assembly reflects a strategic alignment: both institutions promote stronger national accountability for climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, grounded in international frameworks like the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals.

    “The official data and metrics, and other disaster risk reduction tools coordinated by UNDRR, and the work of Supreme Auditing Institutions are closely aligned. The two entities can co-benefit by collaborating in their collective efforts to strengthen accountability and transparency in risk governance,” said Animesh Kumar.

    Audits can reveal gaps in planning, coordination, and implementation-and offer pathways to improved governance. The WGEA’s audit database already includes 59 audits related to DRR, such as:

    • India: Reviewing groundwater and stormwater systems to reduce urban flood risk.
    • Turkey: Auditing early warning systems and local flood preparedness.
    • UK: Assess preparedness for future extreme weather events

    Mr Charles Deguara, Auditor General of Malta said: “In the present circumstances, urgent and united action is required to ensure climate risk issues are duly addressed. It is our role, as national audit institutions, to assist our administrations through our audit work.” From data to action

    UNDRR brings extensive expertise in disaster risk governance, robust data systems, and a strong global convening role-uniquely positioning it to support SAIs in evaluating climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies.

    Building on this momentum, UNDRR and WGEA are exploring collaboration on knowledge building, capacity development and data sharing on disaster risk reduction audits. This initiative aims to build a skilled network of auditors ready to integrate DRR and adaptation into their national audit agendas, bolstered by growing coherence between DRR and climate action.

    “Building resilience to climate and disaster risks requires coherent policies, consistent implementation, and strong oversight. Through the WGEA, we support audit institutions in promoting accountability and helping ensure that climate and disaster risk policies are aligned, effective, and transparent”, highlighted Mr Sami Yläoutinen, the Auditor General of the National Audit Office of Finland, and the current chair of INTOSAI WGEA.

    As WGEA expands its focus on climate and disaster-related audits, sustained collaboration with UNDRR can enhance policy coherence and strengthen accountability. By integrating disaster risk into environmental audits, this partnership will help translate global frameworks into national results, advancing resilience, transparency, and sustainable development.

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: Secretary-General’s remarks at the Evocation Ceremony Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Cabo Verde’s Independence and 50th Anniversary of the Partnership with the United Nations [as delivered]

    Source: United Nations secretary general

    Honourable President José Maria Neves; Honourable Prime Minister José Ulisses Correia e Silva; Distinguished Heads of State and Government; Excellencies, Ladies and gentlemen,

    I am happy to be with you today on behalf of the United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, and I thank the Government and the people of Cabo Verde for your warm welcome and hospitality.

    I am honoured to deliver his remarks on this historic occasion:

    It is with deep emotion that I send these words to a country I hold close to my heart.

    As Secretary-General of the United Nations, as former Prime Minister of Portugal, and as a long-time friend, I am honoured to mark this fiftieth anniversary of Cabo Verdean independence and partnership with the United Nations.

    Cabo Verde has shaped my conscience and conviction. 

    And I celebrate with you the enduring spirit of the povo cabo-verdiano – a people whose determination has long outshone the constraints of geography.

    Dear friends,

    The story of Cabo Verde is a story of freedom reclaimed.

    On July 5, 1975, the world bore witness to the birth of a new Republic.

    After centuries of colonial rule, the people of Cabo Verde – together with their brothers and sisters in Guinea-Bissau – rose up to demand self-determination.

    As a Portuguese citizen, I cannot speak of Cabo Verde without acknowledging the deep and complex history we share – a history marked by pain, injustice, but also by solidarity.

    I carry with me the memory of walking through the gates of the former Tarrafal concentration camp — in the company of Edmundo Pedro and Sérgio Vilarigues, who had endured its horrors.

    Their stories of suffering and resistance are etched into my memory.

    Today, we honour so many heroes of that struggle – heroes like Amílcar Cabral. 

    Receiving the Order of Amílcar Cabral by Prime Minister Carlos Veiga, remains one of the greatest honours of my life.

    Dear friends,

    From the beginning, Cabo Verde chose the harder path:

    Stability over strife.

    Dialogue over division.

    The peaceful transition to independence, the embrace of democracy and good governance… a model that endures.

    Cabo Verde is also a wonder of geography.

    Ten volcanic islands scattered across the Atlantic, bound by morabeza – that singular warmth and grace that define the Cabo Verdean soul.

    But it is the people who truly set Cabo Verde apart.

    A culture that is at once rooted and global, melancholic and joyful.

    This nation gave the world morna — a music of sodade, of longing for home across distant seas.

    It brought us the timeless voice of Cesária Évora, who sang from Mindelo to the world – and made every listener feel a little closer to Cabo Verde.

    Dear friends,

    When Cabo Verde gained independence, many may have doubted. 

    Yet five decades later, you stand as a middle-income country and a champion of peace and equality.

    As Prime Minister of Portugal, I had the privilege of working closely with Cabo Verde to deepen our cooperation.

    I recall with pride the signing of the Acordo de Cooperação Cambial – a monetary agreement that was more than a technical arrangement.

    It was a bridge between our economies, a symbol of trust, and a recognition of Cabo Verde’s growing role on the global stage.

    And through it all, you have remained true to your values.

    Welcoming migrants.

    Upholding the rule of law.

    And staying true to the principles of solidarity and open cooperation.

    I saw these values in action during my last visit.

    At the port of Mindelo, I watched the sails of the Ocean Race rise against the horizon — a striking reminder of Cabo Verde’s openness, resolve, and connection to the wider world.

    What stayed with me was not just the race, but the spirit onshore — young people learning, communities coming together, leaders thinking boldly about the future.

    It reinforced what I have always felt: Cabo Verde is not just navigating the tides of change — it is helping to chart the course.

    And the United Nations has been honoured to journey with you.

    From the earliest development plans — schools, health systems, and social protection;

    To our shared work on food security, disaster resilience, and democratic institutions;

    From supporting the graduation from Least Developed Country status;

    To cooperating on climate action, ocean conservation, biodiversity protection, renewable energy;

    And advancing the Multidimensional Vulnerability Index — a vital tool to reflect the unique challenges of small island developing countries.

    Together, we are exploring new frontiers: the blue economy, digital inclusion, and diaspora engagement.

    And today, as we celebrate your past, we also recommit to your future.

    A future shaped by resolve.

    Cabo Verde knows, more than most, the realities of climate change.

    Rising seas. Droughts. External shocks.

    Your location also brings higher costs — for transport, for energy, for resilience.

    But you have turned water scarcity into a frontier of innovation.

    You are building climate resilience in your infrastructure and communities.

    You are expanding clean energy.

    You are leading on marine conservation.

    And as co-lead of the SIDS Coalition for Nature, you are rallying global action to protect our planet’s most vulnerable ecosystems.

    You are showing the world that ocean stewardship is a responsibility.

    And the world must match your determination with support — through climate finance, technology, and fairer systems for Small Island Developing States.

    Dear friends,

    Fifty years ago, Cabo Verde was born into freedom.

    Today, it moves boldly into the future.

    With ambitious plans grounded in the Sustainable Development Goals.

    With innovation in the blue economy, biodiversity and climate resilience.

    With empowered youth and inclusive growth.

    With leadership in regional affairs – from ECOWAS to the African Union.

    And with more regional integration – taking advantage of the African Continental Free Trade Area.

    The people of Cabo Verde understand what it means to struggle – and to overcome.

    To the povo cabo-verdiano, in every island and across the ocean:

    This celebration belongs to you.

    As Secretary-General of the United Nations, I salute your journey.

    As a friend, I rejoice in this moment and celebrate with you.

    As a citizen of the world, I thank you — for your example, your partnership, your promise.

    May Cabo Verde forever shine:

    As a light in the Atlantic.

    A bridge between continents.

    A country of hope and dreams.

    Parabéns, Cabo Verde.

    Long live the Republic.

    Long live your journey.

    Long live your future.

    Obrigado. Thank you.

  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: Allister tells Glasgow 12th of Protocol risk to the UK

    Source: Traditional Unionist Voice – Northern Ireland

    TUV leader Jim Allister told the ‘Glasgow Twelfth’ the very substance and existence of the United Kingdom was at risk because of the Protocol/Windsor Framework.

    “The constitutional basis of your membership of the U.K., the Act of Union 1707, and Northern Ireland’s, the Act of Union 1800, are identical in form and substance. Each is built on the twin pillars of a political union and an economic union. Art 3 of each of our Acts of Union affirm a political union through a single sovereign parliament for the whole nation; and each of our Articles 6 guarantee unfettered trade between and within all parts of the Kingdom.

    “It is the latter, of course, that has been trashed by the union-dismantling Windsor Framework, because it fetters trade with NI by establishing an EU border to entrap NI within its territory and control.

    “Whereas England, Scotland Wales left the EU, Northern Ireland was left behind under its Customs Code and in its Single market for goods, meaning in 300 areas of law we are governed by foreign laws we don’t make and can’t change. That is not just a democratic outrage, but a deliberate building block for Irish unity as NI is now governed in those 300 areas by the identical laws as the Republic of Ireland. And as these are the laws that shape our trade and economy they are inexorably building the stepping stone of an all-Ireland economy, which always was the intended design of the Windsor Framework.

    “Hence, why anyone worthy of the name ‘unionist’ rejects the Windsor Framework in all its parts.

    “In that rejection we ask for the support of our fellow citizens in Scotland who equally recognise threat to our Union when they see it, because you, like us, live under the blight of a separatist First Minister, though you are spared the obscenity of being told there was no alternative to the murder of your kith and kin.

    “Going forward, there is common cause in rebuilding and restoring our Union, so that the natural affinity between Scotland and Northern Ireland – which is reflected in what we celebrate today – is accentuated, not blocked with preposterous trade barriers and the heavy hand of EU colonial rule, from which you have been spared, but by which we are still benighted.

    “Your covenanting forefathers knew the strength and value of covenanting together to defend what mattered; may we together with determination covenant to not rest until all our nation is free of the foreign rule of Brussels diktats.”

  • MIL-OSI Russia: International health tourism booming on China’s Hainan Island

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    HAIKOU, July 5 (Xinhua) — Located in the coastal town of Boao in south China’s Hainan Province, the Boao Lecheng International Health Tourism Pilot Zone is fast becoming a leading healthcare and innovation hub in China, attracting increasing attention from around the world.

    The pilot zone, which is considered the only special medical service zone in China, hosts more than 30 leading domestic and foreign medical institutions. With special policy support, the pilot zone has introduced 485 advanced drugs and medical devices that have been approved abroad but have not yet entered the domestic market, benefiting more than 130,000 patients.

    Canadian figure skating coach Mark Batka, suffering from growing tumors on his chest and back that were hampering his ability to work, decided to have surgery during a four-day recuperation trip to the pilot zone.

    “In Canada it’s more expensive and it takes time to get an appointment for the surgery. And since I was here, I decided to give it a try and I was very happy, I think it went very well,” he said.

    Mark Batka is just one of many foreign visitors who have taken advantage of the medical services at the pilot zone, which offers a world-class package of services, from premium medical check-ups and a combination of traditional Chinese and Western treatments to cultural experiences such as incense tasting, tea ceremonies and calligraphy.

    Boao Yiling Life Support Center, a leading provider of comprehensive medical services in the pilot zone, provides a wide range of services such as health care, disease prevention, specific therapies, rehabilitation and mental health.

    Janet Wong, who went on a Canadian wellness tour with Mark Batka, said she was impressed by the high-quality medical check-up she received at the centre.

    “We were so surprised from the very beginning when we arrived,” she said, adding that the treatment was excellent and the medical examination incredibly thorough.

    “In a way, it really does feel like a vacation,” said Stephanie Wing See Yau, another member of the Canadian group, calling the centre a truly world-class facility.

    “It’s really impressive how they’ve put all these treatments together in one place,” she said, noting that she was glad to see that there was a focus on overall wellness, not just physical wellness but mental wellness as well. She described her trip as a great experience and said she would definitely recommend it to friends.

    As part of the pilot zone’s efforts to develop health tourism, 25 specialized routes have been launched, tailored to different needs, from traditional Chinese medicine and chronic disease treatment to high-end medical check-ups and medical cosmetology. These routes are increasingly popular around the world. The pilot zone has also become a key platform supporting Hainan’s efforts to become a hub for international tourism and consumption.

    By the end of 2024, more than 410,000 people had taken medical tours in the pilot zone, which is 36.76 percent more than in the previous year. Since the beginning of this year, 188,300 tourists from countries such as Canada, Spain, Russia, Uzbekistan and Cuba have already visited the zone to use medical services.

    Kareldus Agas, an official with the International Tourism Promotion Department of Indonesia’s Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, was deeply impressed by the comprehensive services at the pilot zone after visiting some wellness projects and traditional cultural activities, including calligraphy and cupping.

    He said that Boao Lecheng not only offers advanced medical services, but also a harmonious combination of relaxation, wellness and spiritual healing, creating a truly unforgettable experience. He expressed a strong desire to visit the area again, even without a medical request, just to enjoy the unique feeling of relaxation he felt there.

    The pilot zone has established partnerships with more than 180 pharmaceutical companies and medical equipment manufacturers from 20 countries, providing access to advanced international medical services for both domestic and foreign visitors, said He Ying, an official with the Boao Lecheng International Health Tourism Pilot Zone.

    He added that the zone will continue to strengthen its service platforms and capacity to receive foreign tourists with the aim of becoming a world-class health tourism destination.

    As part of its broader economic strategy, China is turning Hainan into a free trade port and aims to turn the province into a global tourist and consumer destination by 2035. -0-

  • Prime Minister Narendra Modi: The Global Statesman of Our Times

    Source: Government of India

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Since the Second World War, almost eight decades ago, no leader had captivated the global imagination until the late 2010s.

    The majority of the Cold War years were lost to the political turmoil that plagued the nations in the West. In the Soviet Union, the leaders were infamous for weakening the once grand empire. Even the American Presidents could not escape the curse of time, and eventually, the world entered the 20th century with crises that hinted at imminent conflicts.

    Back home in India, the political leadership was largely contained within one party, and further, within one family.

    Not choosing to align with a bloc, India went for the non-aligned movement, and in hindsight, we were everywhere, and yet, nowhere. When Chief Minister Narendra Modi was elevated to the higher office in Delhi in 2014, a nation of more than 120 Crore people was not only looking at a new leadership framework to guide the nation, but also a new perspective to take India’s message to the world.

    In Narendra Modi, the country saw the resolve of a national leader and the vision of a global statesman.

    The last eleven years have been of global turmoil. The 2010s witnessed the incapacity of several Western nations, including the United States of America, to shake off the economic horrors of the Great Recession of 2008.

    Just when the nations were getting their economic trajectory back on track, the pandemic, the most gruesome in a century, hit the world in 2020. This was followed by the global supply chain crisis in 2020-21, the Russia-Ukraine War in 2022, and the Middle East tensions in 2023. In the decade PM Modi has governed India, the world has been in a constant state of chaos.

    In this constant state of chaos, the political leadership across countries has been impacted as well. America saw the exit of a Democratic President in 2016, only to witness the return of another leader from the same party in 2020.

    Across Europe, governments found their mandates dented post-pandemic, if not snatched altogether. Even China, which began the 2010s with geopolitical heft, was marred in its economic challenges by early 2020s, and while the leadership remains, resistance against the Communist Party is attaining a point of inevitability.

    It is in this decade PM Modi cemented his position globally. While the combination of welfare programs, strong economic growth, prudent fiscal management, infrastructure push, and rapid digitalisation ushered the nation ahead under his leadership, the last decade was also of diplomacy with a difference.

    India, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, was no longer a mute spectator nor a submissive commentator. India’s assertion was visible in the early months of the Narendra Modi Government. Diplomacy had several facets, from rescue operations to humanitarian aids, from enhancing economic relations to collaborating on modern technologies.

    In 2022, PM Modi’s stellar move to balance national economic interests with geopolitical intricacies resulted in India increasing its share of oil imports from Russia. Eventually, even the Europeans had to follow India’s cue. Post-2023 and the October attack on Israel, India’s global stance on the Middle East was consistent with the sensitivities of the region.

    PM Modi’s diplomatic approach has been about prioritising the relationship before the returns, and that is what explains the constant push in African countries, and even some South American countries. Many countries that were earlier ignored under the previous governments are now active partners.

    Interestingly, the Modi Doctrine has also been about evolving with time. Eleven years is a long time, and countries do diverge on several issues. Case in question is Turkey. While the nation responded to India’s humanitarian aid with drones to Pakistan, PM Modi was quick to send them a direct reminder during his visit to Cyprus.

    Modi’s diplomacy has several shades, and several countries have embraced it as well, which explains the number of honours for the Prime Minister. Earlier today, PM Modi has been conferred with Ghana’s highest state honor, the Officer of the Order of the Star of Ghana, marking a significant milestone in his global recognition. This award is part of an impressive collection of 24 international honors celebrated by 140 crore Indians, symbolizing India’s relentless rise on the world stage.

    The accolades span a wide range of nations, including Cyprus’s Grand Cross of the Order of Makarios III, Sri Lanka’s Mitra Vibhushana, Mauritius’ Grand Commander of the Order of the Star & Key of the Indian Ocean, Kuwait’s Order of Mubarak Al Kabeer, Guyana’s Order of Excellence, Barbados’ Order of Freedom, Nigeria’s Grand Commander of the Order, and Dominica’s Dominica Award of Honour.

    Additional distinctions come from Russia’s Order of St. Andrew the Apostle, Greece’s Grand Cross of the Order of Honour, France’s Grand Cross of the Legion, Egypt’s Order of the Nile, Republic of Palau’s Ebakl Award, Papua New Guinea’s Order of Logohu, Fiji’s Companion of the Order of Fiji, and Bhutan’s Order of the Druk Gyalpo.

    The list of honors continues with the US Government’s Legion of Merit, Bahrain’s King Hamad Order of the Renaissance, Maldives’ Order of the Distinguished Rule of Nishan Izzuddin, United Arab Emirates’ Order of Zayed Award, Palestine’s Grand Collar of the State of Palestine Award, Afghanistan’s State Order of Ghazi Amir Amanullah Khan, and Saudi Arabia’s Order of King Abdulaziz.

    PM Narendra Modi will be conferred with Trinidad and Tobago’s highest civilian honour, The Order of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, his 25th sovereign honour.

    PM Modi is a global statesman of our times. Since Franklin D. Roosevelt, no leader has been so instrumental to a world that is rapidly changing. Eleven years in office, and only half done in all probability, the Prime Minister has a lot to offer to the world in terms of global leadership. He’s India’s strongest voice, sincerest messenger, and the most stupendous testament to a nation that is rediscovering its civilizational place in the world.

    Carrying a red floral wreath bearing his shirt number, Diogo Jota’s Liverpool teammates joined relatives and residents in a small Portuguese town on Saturday for the funeral of the soccer star, who died with his brother in a car crash on Thursday.

    Club captain Virgil Van Dijk, goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher and manager Arne Slot were among Liverpool teammates past and present who attended the service in Gondomar for the striker and his brother, Andre Silva.

    The English Premier League stars carried two floral tributes in the club’s red colour into the chapel, each in the shape of a shirt.

    The one carried by Van Dijk had the number 20 written in white flowers, which Jota wore on his Liverpool shirt.

    The other bore the number 30, which was worn by Jota’s brother, who played for FC Peñafiel in Portugal’s second division.

    Dressed in black and with their heads bowed, the teammates entered the church in silence. The only sound was the applause from the crowd outside.

    Rute Cardoso, who married her childhood sweetheart Jota only weeks before the fatal crash, arrived with relatives.

    Hundreds of residents of Gondomar, a small town in northern Portugal where Jota grew up, gathered outside.

    The private service was presided over by the Bishop of Porto, Manuel Linda.

    In an emotional homily addressed to Jota’s parents, his wife and their three young children, Linda said “solidarity in love is always stronger than death”.

    Teammates from the Portugal national squad including Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes, who both play in the English Premier League, also attended the service.

    “Jota will always be in our hearts. He will always be present at every breakfast, lunch, dinner, at all our national team get-togethers, at our PlayStation games, at our card games,” Silva told Portuguese broadcaster TVI.

    Jota’s death at the age of 28 sent shock waves through the world of soccer and beyond, with messages of condolences pouring in from national leaders as well as across the sport.

    Fans continued to lay flowers and other tributes to the striker on Saturday outside Liverpool’s Anfield stadium.

    The brothers were believed to have been driving to a ferry in Spain to travel to Britain when their Lamborghini veered off the road and burst into flames after midnight on Thursday. Police said they suspected a tyre had burst.

    The one carried by Van Dijk had the number 20 written in white flowers, which Jota wore on his Liverpool shirt.

    The other bore the number 30, which was worn by Jota’s brother, who played for FC Peñafiel in Portugal’s second division.

    Dressed in black and with their heads bowed, the teammates entered the church in silence. The only sound was the applause from the crowd outside.

    Rute Cardoso, who married her childhood sweetheart Jota only weeks before the fatal crash, arrived with relatives.

    Hundreds of residents of Gondomar, a small town in northern Portugal where Jota grew up, gathered outside.

    The private service was presided over by the Bishop of Porto, Manuel Linda.

    In an emotional homily addressed to Jota’s parents, his wife and their three young children, Linda said “solidarity in love is always stronger than death”.

    Teammates from the Portugal national squad including Bernardo Silva and Bruno Fernandes, who both play in the English Premier League, also attended the service.

    “Jota will always be in our hearts. He will always be present at every breakfast, lunch, dinner, at all our national team get-togethers, at our PlayStation games, at our card games,” Silva told Portuguese broadcaster TVI.

    Jota’s death at the age of 28 sent shock waves through the world of soccer and beyond, with messages of condolences pouring in from national leaders as well as across the sport.

    Fans continued to lay flowers and other tributes to the striker on Saturday outside Liverpool’s Anfield stadium.

    The brothers were believed to have been driving to a ferry in Spain to travel to Britain when their Lamborghini veered off the road and burst into flames after midnight on Thursday. Police said they suspected a tyre had burst.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Wang Yi calls on China, France to step up humanitarian exchanges

    PARIS, July 5 (Xinhua) — China and France should continuously deepen people-to-people and cultural exchanges, establish a model of civilizational exchanges between China and Europe and around the world, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, said Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a member of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and co-chairman of the 7th meeting of the China-France High-Level People-to-People Exchange Mechanism, along with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, here on Friday.

    Guided by the consensus of the two leaders, China and France have accelerated cooperation in many fields and achieved rich results over the past year, Wang said. Highlighting the success of the China-France Year of Culture and Tourism, he noted that hundreds of events have been held and more than 6,000 French students have visited China for exchanges and studies.

    According to Wang Yi, the two sides have also started to hold thematic events, such as on carbon neutrality, preservation and restoration of cultural relics, or health care. This has demonstrated the viability of cultural and humanitarian exchanges between the two countries, he said.

    Against the backdrop of a changing international situation intertwined with upheavals, the more frequent conflicts occur, the greater the need for the calm educational power of humanitarian exchanges, the more chaotic the world becomes, the more necessary it is to join forces to cope with confusion and chart the right course, the minister said.

    The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France was not just a handshake between two independent countries, but also a meeting of two great civilizations, Wang said. The China-France high-level people-to-people exchange mechanism has actively promoted cultural exchanges between the two countries and greatly deepened mutual understanding between the two peoples, he added.

    The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that this year marks the beginning of the next 60 years of Chinese-French relations, and the mechanism of humanitarian exchanges is entering the second decade of its existence.

    Guided by the consensus of the heads of state, the two sides should carry forward the spirit of China-France diplomatic ties characterized by independence, mutual understanding, strategic vision and win-win cooperation, continuously deepen people-to-people and cultural exchanges, establish a model of civilizational exchanges between China and Europe and the world, and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, Wang said.

    In this regard, he made four proposals.

    First, the two sides should strengthen youth exchanges. Wang Yi called for fully implementing Chinese President Xi Jinping’s initiative to increase the number of French students studying in China to more than 10,000 in the next three years, and making full use of exchange programs.

    Secondly, it is necessary to develop cooperation at the subnational level. According to the minister, China and France should introduce new forms of exchanges and cooperation, intensify relations between sister cities, continue the work of the bilateral round table of mayors, and resume the work of the high-level forum on cooperation of local governments as soon as possible.

    Third, travel facilitation should be promoted. Wang Yi called on the French to visit China more often and expressed hope that France would continue to simplify visa procedures for Chinese citizens to create more favorable conditions for mutual people-to-people exchanges.

    Fourth, it is necessary to maintain a partnership driven by innovation. The minister called on the two sides to vigorously support the construction of the China-France Carbon Neutrality Center to promote green and low-carbon development, hold the second China-France Education Development Forum, and strengthen multilateral coordination to help build an open, inclusive and beautiful world.

    In turn, Jean-Néric Barrot praised the rich and fruitful humanitarian exchanges, calling them a valuable asset that maintains strong bilateral relations and helps France and China jointly address global challenges.

    France will continue to act in a spirit of openness and forward-lookingness, deepen cooperation with China in the fields of education, culture, scientific research, youth and cinema, as well as interaction at the subnational level, to build a close, high-quality and sustainable partnership, he said. -0-

  • MIL-Evening Report: Greenpeace chief recalls New Zealand’s nuclear free exploits, seeks ‘peace’ voice for Gaza

    Asia Pacific Report

    Greenpeace Aotearoa executive director Russel Norman today recalled New Zealand’s heyday as a Pacific nuclear free champion in the 1980s, and challenged the country to again become a leading voice for “peace and justice”, this time for the Palestinian people.

    He told the weekly Palestinian solidarity rally in Auckland’s central Te Komititanga Square that it was time for New Zealand to take action and recognise the state of Palestine and impose sanctions on Israel over its Gaza atrocities.

    “From 1946 to 1996, over 300 nuclear weapons were exploded across the Pacific and consistently the New Zealand government spoke out against it,” he said.

    “It took cases to the International Court of Justice, supported by Australia and Fiji, against the nuclear testing across the Pacific.

    “Aotearoa New Zealand was a voice for peace, it was a voice for justice, and when the French government bombed the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior here and killed Fernando Pereira, it spoke out and took action against France.”

    He said New Zealand could return to that global leadership as a small and peaceful country.

    New Zealand will this week be commemorating the 40th anniversary of the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior by French secret agents on 10 July 1985 and the killing of Greenpeace photographer Fernando Pereira.

    He spoke about the Gaza war crimes, saying it was time for New Zealand to take serious action to help end this 20 months of settler colonial genocide.

    “There are millions of people [around the world] who are trying to end this colonial occupation of Palestinian land,” Norman said.

    “And millions of people who are trying to stop people simply standing to get food who are hungry who are being shelled and killed by the Israeli military simply for the ‘crime’ of being born in the land that Israel wants to occupy.”

    Norman’s message echoed an open letter that he wrote to Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Foreign Minister Winston Peters earlier this week criticising the government for its “ongoing failure … to impose meaningful sanctions on Israel”.

    He cited the recent UN Human Rights Office report that said the killing of hundreds of Palestinians by the Israeli military while trying to fetch food from the controversial new “Gaza Humanitarian Foundation” aid hubs was a ‘likely war crime”.

    “Israel’s ongoing blockade of aid to Gaza has placed over 2 million people on the precipice of famine. Malnutrition and starvation are rife,” he said.

    Israel ‘weaponising aid’
    “Israel is weaponising aid, using starvation as a tool of genocide and is now shooting at civilians trying to access the scraps of aid that are available.”

    He said this was “catastrophic”, quoting Luxon’s own words, and the human suffering was “unacceptable”.

    Labour MP for Te Atatu and disarmament spokesperson Phil Twyford also spoke at the rally and march today, saying the Labour Party was calling for sanctions and accountability.

    He condemned the failure to hold “the people who have been enabling the genocide in Gaza”.

    “It’s been going on for too long. Not just the last [20 months], but actually the last 77 years.

    “And it is time the Western world snapped out of the spell that the Zionists have had on the Western imagination — at least on the political classes, government MPs, the policy makers in Western countries, who for so long have enabled, have stayed quiet in the face of the US who have armed and funded the genocide”

    For the Palestinian solidarity movement in New Zealand it has been a big week with four politicians — including Prime Minister Luxon — and two business leaders, the chief executives of Rocket Lab and Rakon, who have been referred by the Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for investigation over allegations of complicity with the Israeli war crimes.

    This unprecedented legal development has been largely ignored by the mainstream media.

    On Friday, protesters picketed a Rocket Lab manufacturing site in Warkworth, the head office in Mount Wellington and the Māhia peninsula where satellites are launched.

    Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, leading international scholars and the UN Special Committee to investigate Israel’s practices have all condemned Israel’s actions as genocide.
