    Windfarm Capable of Powering Half of Scotland’s Homes

    Moray West offshore wind farm capable of powering half of Scotland’s homes is switched on by Scottish Secretary.

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

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

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

    Speaking after his visit, Mr Murray said:

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

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

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

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

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

    Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said:

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

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

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

    There he visited Sarens PSG and ETZ Ltd. 

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

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

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

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

    IAM Local 822 (District 9) in Quincy, Ill., recently hosted its annual Easter Egg hunt to connect with local union members and celebrate the holiday together. 

    “To say we had perfect weather, and an excellent turnout is an understatement! 2025 brought IAM Local 822 a record-breaking turn out of kids with 81 coming out to hunt eggs,” said IAM Local 822 Secretary-Treasurer Andy Gallaher. “Kids enjoyed getting a bunch of union gear and goodie bags with candy and gift cards to local businesses that support Local 822.”

    IAM Local 822 families, as well as other local unions in the community, brought their children to participate in the hunt, which was broken up into age groups.

    Local businesses donated gift cards and union locals and districts donated checks that were used to purchase gift cards that matched the donations from the businesses.  

    “We want to give a huge ‘thank you’ to our sponsors and everyone who came and enjoyed the day with us,” said Gallaher.

    IAM Local 822 President Rick Houston made an appearance for the children as the Easter Bunny.

    “That was the first time we’ve had the Easter Bunny in years and it was so worth it,” said Gallaher. “The kids really, really enjoyed it. They were chasing him, running all around him.”

    IAM International contributed T-shirts, activity books, rulers, playing cards, and some pet bandanas to the giveaway bags.

    “Local 822 is constantly making the Midwest Territory proud with their focus on building a strong, connected community,” said IAM Midwest Territory General Vice President Sam Cicinelli. “They do a wonderful job upholding one of the IAM’s founding values: ‘service to the community.’ We are happy to hear everyone enjoyed sunny weather and a great day together. Thank you to everyone who made this happen.”

Upon stopping Bradley’s vehicle, officers recovered distribution quantities of crack and powder cocaine from Bradley’s person. Officers subsequently executed a search warrant on Bradley’s home; from Bradley’s master bedroom closet, officers recovered additional distribution quantities of powder and crack cocaine, more than $20,000 in cash, a loaded handgun, and drug distribution paraphernalia.

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

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

  • MIL-OSI Security: Two Men Accused of Involvement in Impostor Scam Targeting Missouri Residents

    Source: Office of United States Attorneys

    ST. LOUIS – Two men from Wisconsin have been accused of acting as couriers for an impostor scam that targeted a Missouri resident.

    Srinivas Putta, 42, and Ankurkumar Patel, 43, were indicted in U.S. District Court in St. Louis on February 26 on one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and two counts of wire fraud. Putta was arrested in Wisconsin on April 14. He appeared in court Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to the charges. Patel was arrested March 27 and has also pleaded not guilty.

    The indictment accuses the men of involvement in a conspiracy that defrauded victims by pretending to contact them on behalf of financial institutions, law enforcement organizations and government agencies such as the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Treasury and the Federal Trade Commission. One victim was told that his identity had been stolen and that he would be deported if he didn’t act, the indictment says. The indictment also alleges that the victim had been told that his money had been converted to “black money” through identity theft and that he needed to give cards or prepaid debit cards to couriers to transfer the money into an uncontaminated account that the government set up. On Sept. 25, 2023, Putta and Patel tried to collect $144,000 from the victim, who had been told to meet them in a Target parking lot in Missouri, the indictment says. The indictment also alleges that other couriers collected $125,000 from that victim.

    Charges set forth in an indictment are merely accusations and do not constitute proof of guilt.  Every defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty.

    The conspiracy and wire fraud charges each are punishable by up to 20 years in prison, a $250,000 fine or both prison and a fine.

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and the O’Fallon (Missouri) Police Department are investigating the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracy Berry is prosecuting the case.

    Source: Office of United States Attorneys

    Marc H. Silverman, Acting United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut, and James Ferguson, Special Agent in Charge, ATF Boston Field Division, today announced that a federal grand jury in New Haven has returned an indictment charging WILLIE WHITE, 58, formerly residing in Bristol, New Britain, and Hartford, with offenses stemming from an armed robbery at the Westfarms Mall.

    The indictment was returned on April 16, 2025.  White appeared yesterday in New Haven federal court and pleaded not guilty to the charges.  He has been detained since his arrest on related state charges on July 15, 2024.

    The indictment alleges that, on July 15, 2024, White robbed the Sunglass Hut at the Westfarms Mall in West Hartford.  He stole multiple pairs of designer sunglasses and brandished a Glock pistol during the robbery.

    It is further alleged that White’s criminal history includes more than 15 felony convictions for drug, robbery, burglary, and other offenses.  It is a violation of federal law for a person previously convicted of a felony offense to possess a firearm or ammunition that has moved in interstate or foreign commerce.  White was on state supervision, including GPS monitoring, at the time of the offense.

    The indictment charges White with one count of interference with commerce by robbery (Hobbs Act robbery), which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years; one count of brandishing a firearm during and in relation to a crime of violence, which carries a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of seven years and maximum term of imprisonment of life; and one count of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon, an offense that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 15 years.

    Acting U.S. Attorney Silverman stressed that an indictment is not evidence of guilt.  Charges are only allegations, and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

    This matter is being investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), with the assistance of the West Hartford Police Department and the New Britain Police Department.  The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Shan Patel.

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

    Baltimore, Maryland – Judge Brendan A. Hurson sentenced Hugh Emerson Berry, Jr., 41, of Hagerstown, Maryland, to 78 months in federal prison for his role in a narcotics and firearm trafficking network. In January 2025, Berry pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute heroin, fentanyl, and methamphetamine along with possession with intent to distribute fentanyl. 

    Kelly O. Hayes, U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, announced the sentence with Special Agent in Charge Toni M. Crosby, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF); Special Agent in Charge Michael S. McCarthy, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Frederick; Postal Inspector in Charge Damon Wood, U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) – Washington Division; Roland L. Butler, Jr. Superintendent, Maryland State Police (MSP); and Colonel Paul Joey Kifer, Chief of Police, Hagerstown Police Department (HPD).

    In May 2023, the ATF, HSI, and MSP began investigating a drug and firearm trafficking network spanning the mid-Atlantic of the United States. During the investigation, ATF, HSI, and MSP investigators discovered that Berry and his co-conspirators were selling both illegal narcotics and firearms throughout Maryland. Additionally, the ATF used an undercover investigator to participate in multiple controlled drug purchases. The drugs included heroin, fentanyl, and methamphetamine aka “crystal meth.”  Berry, a convicted felon who cannot possess firearms or ammunition, also offered firearms and a machine-gun conversion device.

    Between May and October 2023 — over the course of approximately 10 meetings — Berry sold an undercover detective heroin, fentanyl, and methamphetamine. The defendant also sold an undercover detective numerous firearms, including eight polymer 80 firearms aka “Ghost Guns,” three firearm magazines, and a machine-gun conversion device.

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

    This case is part of a Strike Force Initiative, which provides for the establishment of permanent multi-agency task force teams that work side-by-side in the same location. This co-located model enables agents from different agencies to collaborate on intelligence-driven, multi-jurisdictional operations to disrupt and dismantle the most significant drug traffickers, money launderers, gangs, and transnational criminal organizations. The specific mission of the Baltimore Strike Force is to identify, disrupt, and dismantle violent drug trafficking, money laundering, and transnational criminal organizations to reduce drug-related and/or gang violence in the Baltimore metropolitan and surrounding areas.  The Baltimore Strike Force is comprised of agents and officers from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, the United States Marshals Service, the United States Secret Service, United States Postal Inspection Service, the Maryland State Police, the Baltimore Police Department, the Baltimore Sheriff’s Office, the Baltimore County Police Department, the Maryland Transportation Authority, and the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. The prosecution is being led by the Office of the United States Attorney for the District of Maryland.

    U.S. Attorney Hayes commended the ATF, HSI, USPIS, MSP Criminal Enforcement Division, and HPD for their work in the investigation.  Ms. Hayes also thanked Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Simpkins who prosecuted the case.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Source: United States Senator for Massachusetts – Elizabeth Warren
    April 24, 2025
    Cook reportedly engaged with Trump administration following announcement of Trump’s China tariffs , resulting in massive tariff exemption for Apple products
    Text of Letter (PDF)
    Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) wrote to Apple CEO Tim Cook about a special tariff exemption for Apple and other tech firms following Cook’s conversation with Trump administration officials. A new report revealed that Tim Cook “went to work behind the scenes,” using his “very good relationship” with President Trump and his administration to win an exemption to Trump’s China tariffs, worth billions of dollars for Apple.
    “I have already raised concerns that President Trump’s ‘trade policy is becoming a corrupt scheme to enrich administration officials and those loyal to them,’ and the circumstances surrounding Apple’s exemptions raise fresh concerns about influence-peddling by huge, well-connected corporations, and their ability to gain special favors from President Trump,” wrote Senator Warren.
    On April 8, 2025, Trump announced additional tariffs on Chinese imports, which would have significantly raised the prices of Apple products. Following the announcement, Apple stock dropped by 7.65% — in addition to its over 15% plummet since Trump’s tariff “Liberation Day.”
    President Trump had stated publicly that there would be no tariff exemptions. But a Washington Post report revealed that Cook almost immediately began engaging with the Trump administration following the tariff announcement, ultimately obtaining massive tariff carve-outs which even Trump himself said “helped Tim Cook…and that whole business.”
    On April 12, the Trump administration announced exemptions for numerous electronic products from the roughly 145% tariff rate on goods produced in China. The exemption applied to a number of Apple products manufactured in China, including iPhones. Reports found that “Apple appears to be the only company that benefits from virtually all of [the exemptions].” Apple’s stock subsequently regained a significant portion of the value it initially lost following Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” announcement.
    “Even before the tariff announcement, Apple appeared to have invested heavily in influencing the Trump Administration, making a million-dollar contribution to President Trump’s inaugural Committee,” wrote Senator Warren.  “You personally journeyed to Washington, D.C. to sit with the president’s family and cabinet nominees on the dais at his inauguration. And new reports indicate the extent to which you and Apple ‘went to work’ to receive special carve-outs.”
    Last week, Senator Warren led over 45 lawmakers in writing to Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Jamieson Greer with concerns over the potential for corruption in the implementation of the administration’s chaotic tariffs.

    Phoenix, AZ – U.S. Congressman Juan Ciscomani reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to preserving Medicaid benefits for those who rely on it, like single mothers, the working poor, individuals with disabilities, and the elderly. 

    “We’ve got to make sure that we protect Medicaid for people the program was intended to serve,” said Ciscomani at the Arizona Chamber of Commerce’s annual Update from Capitol Hill Lunch. 

    Earlier this month, Ciscomani and twelve Republican colleagues sent a letter to House Republican Leadership and Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Brett Guthrie reiterating their support on Medicaid and making clear the lawmakers would not vote for legislation that reduces Medicaid coverage for vulnerable populations.  
    The Congressman also told the audience that there is no question that the federal government can, and must, do more to reduce waste and safeguard the long-term financial viability of Medicaid. You can watch Ciscomani’s remarks here. 

    “As the federal government has grown, so have inefficiencies and unnecessary bureaucracies,” said Ciscomani. “I have been crystal clear that I do not support reducing Medicaid coverage for those the program was intended to serve. What I do support are targeted reforms, such as implementing work requirements for able-bodied adults with no dependents and strengthening eligibility verification to ensure that every dollar is maximized and spent on vulnerable individuals who rely on Medicaid.” 

    The Congressman also told audiences that while we have made great strides to secure the southern border, Mexican drug cartels are regrouping as border security has ramped up under the Trump administration.  

    “The threat is still real, Mexican drug cartels aren’t going to surrender their multi-billion dollar businesses easily,” he said. “The fight is not over and there is still a lot of work that needs to be done to codify the administration’s border security efforts into law.” 

    In March, Ciscomani, who serves as Vice Chair of the House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee, hosted nine freshman Republican lawmakers on a tour of the Arizona – Mexico border. Here, they learned about the cartel’s effort to use unmanned aerial drones to carry out their illicit operations and threaten our national security. As a result, Ciscomani and Rep. John McGuire (VA-05) penned a letter to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, and Federal Aviation Administrator Chris Rocheleau about countering drones at the southern border.

  • MIL-OSI China: Chinese private firms thrive on innovation, global ambition

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

    BEIJING, April 24 — Riding the wave of innovation and globalization, China’s private enterprises are demonstrating robust growth and vitality, playing a crucial role in the country’s economic landscape.

    In the first quarter of 2025, China’s major private industrial firms saw their value-added output rise by 7.3 percent year on year, outpacing the overall industrial sector, official data showed.

    In terms of investment and trade, private investment registered a 0.4 percent growth year on year in the first quarter, reversing a full-year decline in 2024, while private enterprises recorded a 5.8 percent increase in import and export value, with their share of total foreign trade rising to 56.8 percent.

    Westwell Technology, a Shanghai-based autonomous driving developer, reported a 300 percent surge in revenue in the first quarter compared to the same period last year.

    “We have truly felt the government’s support and expectations for private tech companies, which has strengthened our confidence in driving technological innovation going forward,” said Tan Limin, chairman of Westwell, who joined the latest episode of the China Economic Roundtable, an all-media talk show hosted by Xinhua News Agency.

    Founded in 2016, Westwell has grown from a startup to one of the global leaders in smart logistics. Its driverless heavy trucks, once featured in the Chinese sci-fi blockbuster “The Wandering Earth II,” now operate in 28 countries and regions.

    From competitive electric vehicles and DeepSeek, a rising star in artificial intelligence, to Unitree Robotics, a pioneer in humanoid robot development, private enterprises have been at the forefront of China’s economic advancement.

    Official data shows that the share of private enterprises among China’s high-tech firms has risen from 62.4 percent in 2012 to over 92 percent today. These companies now account for 70 percent of the country’s technological innovation achievements.

    Speaking at the roundtable, Liu Min, deputy head of the private economy development bureau under the National Development and Reform Commission, said she is impressed by the trailblazing and innovative spirit of Chinese private entrepreneurs, who have steered the integration of sci-tech and industrial innovations.

    “Their innovative achievements are mushrooming with expanding applications and a growing market,” Liu added.

    Innovation has also been highlighted at a high-level symposium in February, attended by China’s top leaders and representatives from private enterprises. The meeting reaffirmed the Party’s steadfast support for the private sector and urged private firms to unswervingly pursue high-quality development.

    Liu Yonghao, chairman of New Hope Group — one of China’s leading agricultural conglomerates — was among the private entrepreneurs who attended the symposium.

    Speaking on the roundtable, he said, “In the new era, private enterprises must take on new roles, and traditional industries can be empowered by new quality productive forces.”

    According to Zhu Min, a member of the Senior Expert Advisory Committee at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges, Chinese private firms have vast potential to tap into areas such as globalization, intelligent operations, tech-driven manufacturing, green development and innovative services.

    He emphasized that private enterprises are set to become pioneers in building new industrial chains globally and are expected to play a particularly vital role in advancing artificial intelligence software.

    “This will greatly enhance the production efficiency, product quality, and product development of private enterprises,” Zhu said at the roundtable.

    Tan from Westwell said the company has aimed to build a global brand since its inception, aspiring to deliver more smart, made-in-China products as well as China’s new quality productive forces to the world.

    Zhu also expressed optimism about the future of China’s private sector, despite the challenges posed by external uncertainties triggered by tariffs and trade barriers.

    “Over the past more than 40 years, China’s private firms have risen from the ground up to become a powerful force,” he said. “They are adept at seizing new opportunities in times of crisis and thriving through competition.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: Attorney General James and Governor Hochul Announce Lawsuit Against Trump Administration for Imposing Illegal Tariffs 

    Source: US State of New York

    EW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James and Governor Kathy Hochul today announced that New York and a coalition of 11 other states are suing the Trump administration for illegally imposing unprecedented tax hikes on Americans in the form of tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The Trump administration’s IEEPA tariffs raise taxes on imports from nearly every country on Earth, including America’s closest allies and trading partners, and they have already caused severe economic damage. The lawsuit, filed by Attorney General James and a coalition of attorneys general, argues that Congress has not granted the president the authority to impose these tariffs and therefore the administration violated the law by imposing them through executive orders, social media posts, and agency orders. The coalition seeks a court order halting these IEEPA tariffs, including the worldwide tariffs that were paused on April 9, and preventing the Trump administration from enforcing or implementing them.  

    “The president does not have the power to raise taxes on a whim, but that’s exactly what President Trump has been doing with these tariffs,” said Attorney General James. “Donald Trump promised that he would lower prices and ease the cost of living, but these illegal tariffs will have the exact opposite effect on American families. His tariffs are unlawful and if not stopped, they will lead to more inflation, unemployment, and economic damage.”  

    “President Trump’s reckless tariffs have skyrocketed costs for consumers and unleashed economic chaos across the country. New York is standing up to fight back against the largest federal tax hike in American history,” said Governor Kathy Hochul. “Attorney General James and I are partnering on this litigation on behalf of New York consumers, because we can’t let President Trump push our country into a recession.”

    At most, the IEEPA allows the president to impose tariffs in response to extraordinary threats or a specific emergency. However, since February, President Trump has been unilaterally imposing sweeping tariffs against America’s closest trading partners. These tariffs expanded in a series of announcements in April to now cover nearly every country worldwide, including places that are not involved in international trade, such as the Heard and McDonald Islands, which have no known human inhabitants.  

    In addition to the severe economic damage that President Trump’s tariffs have already caused, the coalition warns they could cause even more destruction if allowed to continue. The lawsuit argues the IEEPA tariffs will increase unemployment, raise inflation, and threaten Americans’ wages by slowing economic growth. The president’s tariffs will harm the states and their residents by making important goods ranging from electronics to building materials more expensive and scarce.

    These costs will severely impact New Yorkers. Economists estimate the increased tariffs will cost the average family thousands of dollars per year, and a report from the New York City Comptroller estimated that even a mild recession caused by the tariffs would lead to over 35,000 lost jobs in New York City alone. New York state agencies could end up paying over $100 million in extra costs due to tariffs increasing prices. Retaliatory tariffs imposed by Canada on the hundreds of millions of dollars in electricity that New York imports every year would cause New Yorkers’ energy bills to spike. Across the state, small businesses that rely on imports are already reeling from the threat of higher prices and uncertainty caused by the administration’s policies. In Central New York, the Cortland Standard, one of the oldest family-owned newspapers in the country, announced it would cease publication in part due to an expected tariff on newsprint.

    The lawsuit, filed in the United States Court of International Trade, asserts that President Trump has no authority to impose tariffs as he has. While the president has declared emergencies and invoked IEEPA to justify these tariffs, not once has any other president used IEEPA to impose tariffs like this in the five decades since it became law. As the coalition argues in the lawsuit, the law was not designed to allow the president to unilaterally impose worldwide tariffs indiscriminately. In addition, the coalition argues that the Trump administration has overstepped its authority and violated the Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act by imposing these tariffs.  

    With this lawsuit, the coalition is seeking a court order declaring the Trump administration’s IEEPA tariff orders to be in violation of the law and ordering the administration to stop implementing or enforcing these tariffs.  

    Joining Attorney General James in filing this lawsuit are the attorneys general of Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Vermont.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Houston man pleads guilty to “jugging” robbery of ATM technician in Midlothian

    Source: Office of United States Attorneys

    A Houston, Texas man pleaded guilty to the “jugging” robbery of an ATM technician that occurred on July 3, 2024, announced Acting United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Chad E. Meacham.  A “jugging” robbery is a type of theft where thieves follow a victim as they service or withdraw cash from ATMs or banks and then rob them.

    In December 2024, Houston residents Johnny Juwan Clark, 32, Corey Dashun Holloway, Tierra Toneisha Brandyberg, and Roosevelt Ford Valentine were charged in a superseding indictment for their roles in a jugging robbery in Midlothian, Texas.  On April 22, 2025, Clark pleaded guilty to interference with commerce by robbery before Senior United States District Judge Barbara M.G. Lynn.  

    Clark, Brandyberg, Holloway, and Roosevelt have been linked to a Houston-based criminal organization called the “Hiram Clarke Money Team.”  HCMT members are known to routinely travel to areas outside of Houston and engage in “jugging” style robberies and other forms of theft.

    Clark admitted that at approximately 5:35 p.m. on July 3, 2024, he approached the ATM technician as he was servicing an ATM at a Chase Bank located in Midlothian, Texas.  Clark was wearing a hoodie and face covering to disguise his appearance.  Clark approached the technician from behind and forced him to the ground.  Clark kept his fist to the back of the victim’s head as cannisters containing United States currency were removed from the ATM by codefendants.  Approximately $247,000 in United States currency was taken during the robbery.  According to court documents, Clark admitted that he was the individual forcing the technician to the ground, captured in a security photo. 
     

    After the robbery, Clark and two of his codefendants fled from the Chase Bank in the rental car and met a fourth accomplice at an apartment complex in close proximity to the bank. The stolen money was loaded into a Range Rover and driven back to Houston, Texas.

    Clark’s sentencing is scheduled for July 28, 2025.  He faces a sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Codefendant Tierra Toneisha Brandyberg has filed documents advising the court of her intention to plead guilty.  A rearraignment date for Brandyberg has not been set.  Codefendants Holloway and Valentine are set for jury trial in September 2025.

    The FBI (Dallas Division) investigated the case.  Assistant U.S. Attorney Rick Calvert is prosecuting the case.

    Press release

    Major carbon capture project to deliver jobs and growth

    Thousands of jobs created as major carbon capture and storage network is ready for construction – boosting energy security and the government’s Plan for Change.

    • Plan for Change delivers 2,000 skilled jobs to build major carbon capture network driving growth and reducing emissions in industrial heartlands
    • clean energy to be hardwired into national planning rules to attract investment, give certainty and boost mission to become a clean energy superpower
    • comes as UK-led Global Clean Power Alliance announces its next mission to diversify clean energy supply chains by unblocking bottlenecks and boosting global manufacturing capacity

    British families and businesses will be more energy secure as a major carbon capture and storage network is now ready for construction – supporting 2,000 jobs through the Plan for Change. 

    Launching this new industry for Britain provides a major boost for heavy industry – part of the government’s commitment to backing British manufacturing.

    Energy company Eni have today (24 April 2025) finalised a major deal with government which will see them award around £2 billion in supply chain contracts for their Liverpool Bay Carbon Capture and Storage Project, spanning North Wales and the North West of England. 

    Today’s deal delivers on a commitment made by the Prime Minister and Energy Secretary in October, to develop a world leading carbon capture industry – backed by £21.7 billion – reigniting industrial heartlands across the country and kickstarting growth in manufacturing communities. 

    This announcement comes as the North Sea Transition Authority (NSTA) awards three carbon storage permits to Eni for its Liverpool Bay CCS project.

    It will create a network of clean infrastructure, decarbonising industries like energy from waste, hydrogen and cement production – whilst backing highly skilled jobs in construction and enabling future generation of low carbon power.  

    Alongside this, the government has set out further planning reforms to provide certainty and clarity for developers on the importance of clean power projects, such as solar, onshore and offshore wind and nuclear, when making decisions on energy infrastructure of critical national priority. 

    Previously where policy, legislation and guidance left room for doubt, planners and decision-takers have adopted a cautious approach to consenting clean energy infrastructure, leading to lengthy paperwork and red tape blocking decisions, hindering Britain’s energy security. 

    Changes will streamline the planning system and get Britain building by giving developers clarity on what is needed for their clean power project to succeed. By putting clean power by 2030 at the heart of planning policy, the government is backing industry, removing delays and getting clean energy projects built quicker.

    Prime Minister Keir Starmer said: 

    Our Plan for Change is working – we said we’d deliver jobs and growth through carbon capture technology, and now we have. Shovels ready for the ground, supporting over 2,000 new jobs and supporting thousands more, transforming the lives of hard-working people.

    Energy Secretary Ed Miliband said:  

    Today we keep our promise to launch a whole new clean energy industry for our country – carbon capture and storage – to deliver thousands of highly skilled jobs and revitalise our industrial communities. 

    We are making the UK energy secure and backing our engineers, electricians and welders so we can protect families and businesses and drive jobs through our Plan for Change.

    Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, said:

    We promised to revitalise our nation’s industrial heartlands, create good jobs, make Britain a clean energy superpower and grow our economy to put more money in working people’s pockets.

    This deal is another example of us delivering on those promises with thousands of new jobs created, our energy security strengthened, and our industries decarbonised with a game-changing technology – our Plan for Change in action.

    Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi said:  

    The strategic agreement with the UK government paves the way for the industrial-scale development of CCS, a sector in which the United Kingdom reaffirms its leadership thanks to the promotion of a regulatory framework that aims to strengthen the development of CCS and make it fully competitive in the market.  

    Eni has established itself as a leading operator in the UK thanks to its key role in CO2 transport and storage activities as the leader of the HyNet Consortium, which will become one of the first low-carbon clusters in the world. 

    Stuart Payne, Chief Executive of the North Sea Transition Authority, said:  

    We have taken another major step on the way to turning this country’s ambitions for carbon storage into reality. It’s been a collaborative mission and demonstrates the way that we must all work together in unlocking the UK’s vast potential to tackle climate change and deliver energy security.

    The Prime Minister confirmed the deal today in a speech at the Future of Energy Security Summit – hosted by the UK government and International Energy Agency. Ministers and business leaders from around the world gathered in London, including the President of the EU Commission Ursula von der Leyen, as countries take action to protect themselves from future energy shocks in these unstable times.

    At the summit the government also established a new mission focused on strengthening global supply chains through the UK-led Global Clean Power Alliance (GCPA). The GCPA will bring together the Global North and South – drawing on and sharing the UK’s world-leading experience of pursuing Clean Power by 2030 to speed up the global clean energy transition.  

    Foreign Secretary David Lammy said:

    This week’s Summit is a critical opportunity to make progress on international energy security.

    We’re working with partners through our Global Clean Power Alliance (GCPA) to accelerate global clean energy, which promises to bring growth, jobs and lower bills to the UK. As the Prime Minister has set out today, the GCPA will next focus on assuring reliable, low-cost clean energy supply chains. In a more uncertain world, cooperation across the Global North and South will be essential to deliver this.

    The supply chain mission will bring countries together to diversify clean energy supply chains, drive investment into renewables and address bottlenecks. Working with other countries will not only help to secure and diversify clean energy of the future, but provide new growth opportunities across our countries and relevant supply chains; from critical mineral processing to strengthening manufacturing and industrial partnerships.
     
    The rapid drop in the price of renewables is driving strong growth in clean energy around the world. In 2024, 80% of growth in global electricity generation was provided by renewables and nuclear. The UK alone has already attracted £43.7 billion of private sector investment announcements in clean energy since July. 

    Notes to editors 

    CCUS is a proven technology that captures carbon dioxide emissions before they reach the atmosphere – storing them safely and permanently deep beneath the seabed and preventing their contribution to the climate crisis. 

    Today’s announcement delivers on the commitment made by the Prime Minster in October where £21.7 billion was allocated to kickstart the UK’s carbon capture industry. The signing of contracts for Hynet means the UK’s second carbon capture network is now shovel ready. 

    The Climate Change Committee describes CCUS as a “necessity, not an option” to achieving net zero by 2050. 

    Eni is the operator of the Transport and Storage network of Hynet, through its Liverpool Bay CCS project, which will transport captured CO2 from industrial sites and bury it deep beneath the seabed.  

    It means that now both government-backed carbon capture projects have reached final investment decisions, after the East Coast Cluster in Teesside reached the same milestone in December.  

    The consultations on the National Policy Statements for energy will run from 24 April to 29 May.

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

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Marat Khusnullin: About 26 thousand km of roads will be updated under the national project “Infrastructure for Life” in 2025

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

    This year, the subjects participating in the national project “Infrastructure for Life” plan to build, reconstruct, repair, including major repairs, about 26 thousand km of roads. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

    “Last year, we successfully completed the implementation of the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”, the new national project – “Infrastructure for Life” – became the successor to its best initiatives. In 2025, the road works program included 26 thousand km of the federal, regional and local road network of the country. As before, we will pay special attention to updating social routes to medical, educational, sports institutions. Another important aspect of the work is the phased renewal of sections of the backbone network of highways. All these efforts are aimed at improving the quality of life of the population and the socio-economic development of the regions and the country as a whole,” said Marat Khusnullin.

    Transport Minister Roman Starovoit emphasized that the national project “Infrastructure for Life” is one of the key instruments for achieving the national development goals of the country, defined by President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. “Russian road workers face ambitious challenges and tasks. In particular, in 2025, in order to achieve the national project indicators, it is planned to repair, reconstruct and build 21 thousand km of roads on the regional and local network under all road activity programs. For these purposes, the national project provides funding in the amount of 586.2 billion rubles, of which 339.2 billion are federal budget funds,” said Roman Starovoit.

    The national project “Infrastructure for Life” provides for large-scale measures, including the renovation of federal highways of Rosavtodor and roads under the trust management of the state company “Avtodor”.

    “In 2025, it is planned to repair, including major repairs, over 4.5 thousand km of federal highways on the network subordinate to Rosavtodor. Of these, about 200 km will be converted to four-lane design. In addition, it is planned to complete the construction and reconstruction of sections with a total length of 150.6 km. By the end of 2025, the share of federal highways in normal condition should be at least 72.9%,” said the head of the Federal Road Agency, Roman Novikov.

    In most of the subjects participating in the national project, road works have already begun. Thus, in the Republic of Dagestan, a 19-kilometer section of the Buynaksk-Kizilyurt highway is being repaired, which provides transport links between the settlements of the Buynaksk district and municipal districts located in the mountainous part with Makhachkala. In the Kizilyurt district of Dagestan, a section of the Kizilyurt-Kostek highway from the 0th to the 10th km is being repaired. This road plays a key role in providing communication between the settlements of the district and the cities of Kizilyurt, Makhachkala and Khasavyurt, and also provides access to the federal highway R-217 “Kavkaz”. In total, in the Republic of Dagestan, under the national project this year, work will be carried out at 24 sites of the regional and local road network with a total length of more than 141 km.

    In the Amur Region, a section of the Blagoveshchensk-Svobodny highway (from the 83rd to the 90th km) is being repaired. The highway is part of the country’s backbone network, connecting the regional center and the international airport of Blagoveshchensk with the Vostochny Cosmodrome and the city of Svobodny, where the largest gas chemical projects in Russia are currently being implemented. This year, road works under the national project “Infrastructure for Life” are planned in the region at 38 sites with a total length of almost 86 km.

    The Arkhangelsk Region is repairing the Arkhangelsk-Belogorsky-Pinega-Kimzha-Mezen highway. It is part of the backbone network and provides transport links between the settlements of the Primorsky, Kholmogorsky, Pinezhsky, Leshukonsky and Mezensky districts and the regional center. This year, repair work will be carried out on three sections with a total length of more than 50 km. In total, in 2025, thanks to the national project “Infrastructure for Life”, the Arkhangelsk Region plans to bring 169.65 km of the road network and 10 bridge structures up to standard.

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

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  • MIL-OSI China: Innovation fuels high-quality development of China’s private enterprises

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

    BEIJING, April 24 — Chinese private enterprises have embarked on a high-quality development path driven by strong innovation capabilities spanning various sectors, experts and entrepreneurs said during the latest episode of China Economic Roundtable, an all-media talk show hosted by Xinhua News Agency.

    Private enterprises and entrepreneurs are stepping up efforts to promote the integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, said Liu Min, deputy head of the private economy development bureau under the National Development and Reform Commission.

    Traditional industries are constantly evolving toward high-end, intelligent and green development, she said. Strategic emerging industries such as artificial intelligence (AI), robots, commercial aerospace and biomedicine, as well as the cultural industry, are seeing innovative achievements sprout — with expanding application scenarios and a growing market, she noted.

    Official data shows that the output of industrial robots and service robots, a relatively high proportion of which are produced by private enterprises, surged by 26 percent and 20 percent, respectively, year on year in the first three months of 2025.

    “The private economy is at the forefront of science and technology innovation,” said Zhu Min, a member of the Senior Expert Advisory Committee of the China Center for International Economic Exchanges. He cited examples such as electric vehicles, lithium-ion batteries and photovoltaic products — all sectors where private enterprises play a leading role.

    Noting that China has high expectations regarding the role of AI-related private enterprises in its technological advancement, Tan Limin, president of WestWell, an autonomous-driving developer, said his company is determined to achieve more in scientific and technological innovation.

    He expressed the hope that the benefits of technological advancements will reach every part of the country.

    24 April 2025

    Islanders with new or mild dementia can continue to benefit from a group which helps them to cope with their symptoms, stay healthy and stimulate their memory. 

    Dementia Jersey has been awarded a further three-year contract by Health and Care Jersey, (HCJ, to deliver its successful Meeting Place Project in St Clement and St Helier.

    Launched in 2021, with the support of Government funding, the Meeting Place Project is a weekly group for people with mild symptoms and a diagnosis of dementia where they can meet other Islanders with dementia and share advice and support. 

    During the sessions, people can take part in brain stimulating activities such as language and number games, take part in light exercise including Tai Chi as well as share their own experiences with people in similar situations. 

    Due to the new contract with HCJ, Dementia Jersey can continue to provide The Meeting Place Project in St Helier and St Clement. The charity also offers groups in St Martin, St Brelade and St Ouen. 

    Ally Cordery, whose godfather attends the Meeting Place Project, said: “When Roger was diagnosed with dementia 12 months ago, I felt so sad for him and neither of us discussed the diagnosis, we treated it as a shameful secret. I went on a course to increase my understanding of the condition, and Roger began attending the Meeting Place, and suddenly, we both came to the realisation that Roger was living with dementia and not suffering from it.

    “He benefits hugely from the safe environment of the group and the socialising, as well as the puzzles and games. He has never attended a company Christmas party during his 40+ years of employment, but he went along to the Christmas party at Dementia Jersey and thoroughly enjoyed it. We’re so grateful for all the support the charity offers, not only to Roger but also to my family.” 

    Ann-Marie Self, who attends the St Helier sessions after she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2023, said: “The Meeting Place Project is very supportive. It’s great because I don’t feel like I’m alone with my diagnosis. Everyone is different but we all have this in common. I was worried after getting my diagnosis from the Memory assessment service, but they referred me to the Meeting Place Project and it’s really helped.” 

    The Meeting Place Project embodies the Government’s Common Strategic Policy to support Islanders to live healthier, active, longer lives, improve the quality of and access to mental health services and to put patients and their carers at the heart of Jersey’s health and care system. 

    The Minister for Health and Social Services, Deputy Tom Binet, said: “When we published the Dementia Strategy and its Implementation Plan last year, we were clear that we wanted to ensure that Islanders living with dementia and their families have access to the care and support that they deserve. 

    “I’m delighted that Dementia Jersey will continue to provide these sessions as we know that The Meeting Place Project provides invaluable support for Islanders as they navigate their diagnosis.” 

    Claudine Snape, Dementia Jersey CEO, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to Health and Care Jersey and the Government of Jersey for their continued support. This renewed funding ensures that people living with dementia can access the help they need in a supportive and stimulating environment. We’ve seen firsthand the difference the Meeting Place Project makes, and we’re proud to continue this vital work across the island.”

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

    Source: City of York

    City of York Council has today unveiled a new video starring eight York residents, business owners and students and poses a question – wouldn’t it be nice to have less congestion in York?

    The video opens with each person telling us about their experiences of transport in York, before going on to explain what the Council is doing about these issues.

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

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

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

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

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

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

    • A woman bus driver who asks “Wouldn’t it be nice to have less traffic in York?” – our on-going work to make buses more accessible, promote bus use and lower the cost of bus travel for young people has already helped to reduce the number of cars on the road, freeing up road space for those whose journeys are essential.
    • A university student who uses a wheelchair and whose route is blocked by steel barriers – our barrier removal programme will begin in Spring and make dozens of pathways accessible again
    • An older woman who isn’t online so can’t check bus times before she leaves the house – our bus team have improved over 200 elements at bus stops, including real time information screens, better shelters, lighting and seating
    • A college student who doesn’t have buses running to their village – we work with each of the six bus operators in York to help subsidise existing services, and continue to work with the Mayor of York and North Yorkshire to ensure financial support for bus services offers better travel options for residents and businesses
    • A woman runner who has to choose different routes depending on lighting and personal safety considerations – our lighting teams have been installing new LED lights across the city, and will deliver future improvements at the Jubilee Terrace to Scarborough Bridge Riverside Path (where the runner was filmed)
    • A woman who uses an adapted cycle and would like to explore more of York – our LCWIP will help us create a more joined up and accessible cycle network, as well as increasing the number of accessible cycle parking spaces in the city centre. To further improve access for disabled residents, we have been increasing the number of Blue Badge holder bays across York
    • A business owner who explains the issues his delivery drivers face, with congestion causing problems for businesses. By encouraging more people to use public transport and travel by wheeling and walking, we aim to reduce the level of congestion in the city and miles travelled by vehicles by 20% by 2030
    • And a young person who just loves riding their cycle but faces a lot of traffic. By encouraging more people to leave the car at home where they can, we are creating better environments for people of all ages

    The video is available on YouTube

    Notes to editors:

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

    In addition to the people featured in the film and the lining, lighting, road maintenance, communities teams within CYC, our thanks go to York College, Transdev, Get Cycling CIC, Middleton’s Hotel and to York based videographer, Paul Richardson.
