  • MIL-OSI United Kingdom: experts comment on the Enhanced Games

    Source: United Kingdom – Executive Government & Departments

    Scientists comment on the Enhanced Games and performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs).

    Dr Martin Chandler and Professor Ian Boardley from the University of Birmingham said:

    “The organisers of the Enhanced Games are promoting the idea that performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) can be used safely, and that humanity has a duty to explore their potential to maximise human performance. To advance this agenda, they propose an alternative to the Olympic Games — the Enhanced Games — in which athletes will be actively encouraged to use substances and methods that are prohibited in the Olympics and most professional sports. They claim athlete safety can be ensured through health monitoring and other support measures, although details on these remain limited.

    “A major issue with implementing health safeguards for athletes using substances such as anabolic steroids or erythropoietin is the lack of a reliable evidence base to inform these measures. This includes insufficient data on the potential side effects of these drugs and how to mitigate them. In our recent paper (see below) we argue that such an evidence base does not currently exist, and that crucial information on the effects of commonly used PEDs is missing. For instance, it is known that anabolic steroid use can lead to heart enlargement, often accompanied by stiffening of the heart wall and thickening of the blood. These changes can impair heart function and increase the risk of heart attacks. However, we lack detailed knowledge about how different types of anabolic steroids, specific dosing regimens, and usage patterns relate to these cardiac effects.

    “The limited evidence available — mostly observational rather than experimental — suggests that while some individuals experience severe side effects, others do not, and we have little understanding of why. Similarly, some users develop long-term issues that progress slowly, while others experience short-term effects that resolve quickly. Again, we lack sufficient data to predict these outcomes. The situation is further complicated when athletes use novel substances with minimal human data (e.g., research peptides, selective androgen receptor modulators [SARMs]) or combine multiple PEDs — a common practice among users. As such, there is currently no robust evidence base to support the Enhanced Games’ proposed safety protocols.

    “Another concern is that the performance-enhancing effects of PEDs take time to develop, requiring use well in advance of competition. If the Enhanced Games are serious about athlete safety, they would need to provide comprehensive medical oversight starting now and continuing well beyond the conclusion of the Games. It is unclear how they plan to manage this, or how they intend to address serious side effects in athletes to whom they have provided PEDs. As it stands, the Enhanced Games resemble a poorly designed drug trial lacking ethical oversight, rather than a credible alternative to the Olympic Games.”

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Rosneft Contributes to the Preservation of Biodiversity

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Rosneft – Rosneft – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    May 22 marks the International Day for Biological Diversity, which helps draw attention to the need to preserve the richness of flora and fauna.

    Preservation of biodiversity is one of Rosneft’s key objectives in the regions where it operates. The company and its subsidiaries also implement numerous grant programs to support scientific and applied projects aimed at studying and protecting rare species of animals and plants.

    Earlier this year, the East Siberian Oil and Gas Company supported a grant project to assess the populations of rare predators in Evenkia. As part of the project, employees of the Tunguska State Nature Reserve will study how the current state of the Evenk taiga affects the populations of bears, wolves, sables, and lynxes of a species that has not previously been seen in the region. Based on the research results, a set of recommendations will be developed for organizing rational nature management in the region. Earlier, with the support of Vostsibneftegaz, the Siberian Federal University published the Red Book of Evenkia. The publication contains brief information about the appearance, habitats, lifestyle, and numbers of 45 rare and small animals in the region.

    Oilmen of RN-Vankor supported projects on the creation of a teaching aid on the key species-bioindicator of Arctic ecosystems – the wild reindeer of Taimyr, the study of the current state of the musk ox population on the peninsula, as well as the study of the state and well-being of the populations of the main commercial fish of the Taimyr reservoirs. Research of commercial fish populations is extremely important, first of all, for the indigenous peoples of the North, for whom fishing is an integral part of their traditional way of life.

    With the support of the Samara group of Rosneft enterprises – Samaraneftegaz, Kuibyshev, Novokuibyshevsk and Syzran Oil Refineries, Novokuibyshevsk Petrochemical Company, Novokuibyshevsk Oil and Additives Plant in the Samarskaya Luka National Park, ornithologists are implementing a project aimed at preserving the white-tailed eagle. This is the largest and rarest bird in the Volga region, the species is listed in the Red Book of Russia and the International Red Book. Monitoring of nesting sites has been organized on the territory of the national park, which has made it possible to identify areas with a special nature conservation regime and take measures to control the tourist flow.

    Tyumenneftegaz supports projects aimed at preserving the ecosystem of Lake Solenoye. For three years, scientists from Tyumen State University conducted comprehensive ecological and biological research. As a result, more than 450 species of animals and plants were discovered, some of which are rare and protected. Oil workers also improved the coastal area, laid eco-trails, and installed containers for household waste.

    With the support of RN-Uvatneftegaz, scientists from the Tobolsk Scientific Station of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences are studying the population of forest reindeer in the Tyumen Region. In 2022-2024, large-scale monitoring was carried out, camera traps were installed, which confirmed the presence of the endangered animal in the region. A set of measures has been developed to preserve the habitat and create conditions for the preservation and subsequent growth of the population.

    Earlier, with the support of the enterprise, the Scientific and Analytical Center for Rational Use of Subsoil named after V.I. Shpilman monitored the condition of 390 large lakes in the region, and scientists from the Tyumen Scientific Center of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences developed an electronic database of rare plants in the Uvatsky District, which included data on more than 50 species. Ornithologists from the Tyumen State University developed measures to increase the population of rare bird species and created an electronic reference book “Birds of the South of the Tyumen Region”.

    Komsomolsk Oil Refinery together with scientists from Zapovednoye Priamurye continue to implement the project “Under a Strong Wing” to preserve the Steller’s Sea Eagle listed in the Red Book. As part of the project, ornithologists installed photo and video recording devices that allow observing bird families in the reserve. In addition, during the summer, scientists will conduct research on river water samples and fish, which are the food source for birds. The information collected will form the basis for developing a set of measures to protect this rare bird, which is listed in the Red Book of Russia as vulnerable.

    During the implementation of the Sakhalin-1 project, annual monitoring of the Okhotsk population of gray whales on the north-eastern shelf of Sakhalin Island is carried out. Since 1997, the program has included census and photography of whales, acoustic monitoring, observation of the behavior of mammals, and study of their food supply. All research is carried out jointly with the country’s leading scientific organizations.

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Budget 2025 – Budget of austerity piles on least well-off, misreads public mood – Better Taxes

    Source: Better Taxes for a Better Future

    As your average New Zealander struggles to pay the bills, the Government’s 2025 Budget piles austerity on the least well-off, and misreads the public mood. Recent polling commissioned by the Better Taxes for a Better Future campaign showed the vast majority of New Zealanders supported increased spending on public services, and only 3% were in favour of cuts.

    By limiting its operating allowance to $1.3b to reduce debt, following the introduction of  unaffordable tax cuts last year and the failure to advance other meaningful revenue gathering options, the Government has manufactured the need for cuts in spending on public services that New Zealanders rely upon on a daily basis.

    “The most significant contributor to the Government’s $5.3bn in savings required to reach its arbitrary operating allowance are the lowest paid working women through the scrapping of the pay equity settlements,” says Glenn Barclay, Better Taxes campaign spokesperson.

    “Many other good programmes have also been sacrificed to allow the Government to get away with such a miserly operating allowance.”

    “The total cost to mainly low paid working people from scrapping pay equity of $12.8bn over 4 years represents one of the largest wealth transfers in modern history, and will have a real cost for the lives of some of the least well off in New Zealand.”

    Other items in the Budget are worth commenting on.

    “While a modest increase in the abatement threshold for Working for Families is to be welcomed, it will be paid for by increasing the abatement rate and means testing the first year of Best Start payments. Here we see the Government giving to young families with one hand, while taking away with the other.”

    “The flagship Investment Boost allowing for accelerated depreciation on new assets to be deducted from taxable income, while a useful tool to grow GDP, implemented in this untargeted way stands to benefit monopolistic companies like supermarket chains, electricity generators and banks at the expense of the collective revenue pool,” says Glenn Barclay.   “With the substantial cost of $1.7 billion per year, it would have been much better to use this tool to focus on areas such as advanced manufacturing or green technology.”

    “Similarly the halving of Government contributions to KiwiSaver is shortsighted, when we ought to be  supporting lower income earners and young people  to grow their retirement savings.  On the other hand the Government has significantly expanded the ability for SuperGold card holders to claim rates rebates. It looks like a case of valuing the priorities of older property owners over the  future retirement savings of today’s workers.”

    “The Budget reflects choices about what the Government values and how it’s going to pay for those things.  This budget shows the government does not value the work of the least well-off in New Zealand, who are paying for its austerity,” says Glenn Barclay.

    “It is inescapable that we need to generate more revenue to pay for the public goods New Zealanders value, like public healthcare, education, transport and housing. It is wrong to pretend that we can deliver the kind of society New Zealanders want now and in the future by constantly reducing the collective pool,” says Glenn Barclay.

    “Successive governments have failed to ensure we’re collecting enough revenue to meet our needs and ensure those who can afford to contribute more, make that contribution. Polling indicates New Zealanders want increased investment in public services and think that the wealthy should be contributing more,” says Glenn Barclay.

    “Today’s Budget fails to grapple with that challenge  to respond to what the New Zealand public wants.  With this Budget the government continues to ask more of those who have the least.”

    “We call on the Government to consider common sense taxes that many other countries already have, like a capital gains tax and a wealth tax, so we have enough revenue to allocate to the public goods that enable all New Zealanders to thrive.”

    The Better Taxes for a Better Future Campaign is a coalition of over 20 organisations led by Tax Justice Aotearoa.

    We believe that tax reform is the only solution to the current challenges facing Aotearoa NZ.  We need the tax system to:

    be transparent
    raise more revenue to enable us address the challenges we face
    make sure people who have more to contribute make that contribution: that we gather more revenue from wealth, gains from wealth, all forms of income, and corporates
    make greater use of fair taxes to promote good health and environmental health
    address the tax impact on the least well off in our society.

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Budget 2025 – ProCare concerned by 12-month prescribing extension in Budget 2025

    Source: ProCare

    ProCare, Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest network of general practices, is concerned that the Government has chosen to disregard sector feedback by announcing a full 12-month repeat prescribing extension in Budget 2025, bypassing a more balanced 6-month approach recommended in formal submissions made in October 2024.

    ProCare’s submission to Manatū Hauora in October 2024 made a strong case for a staged approach, recommending a 6-month limit in the first instance, with potential for further extension once safety and equity impacts were evaluated.

    Bindi Norwell, Chief Executive at ProCare says: “While we acknowledge the Government’s intention to ease pressure on the health system and reduce costs for patients, we remain deeply concerned about the patient safety implications, equity risks, and unintended consequences for the primary care workforce.

    “We believe a 6-month prescribing model would have achieved a much better balance. It would have reduced unnecessary appointments and made access easier for patients, without undermining the crucial relationship between patients and their primary care teams,” continues Norwell.

    ProCare supports increased efficiency in repeat prescribing, but believes that 12-month prescriptions risk reducing proactive clinical oversight, particularly for patients with long-term or complex health conditions. We are particularly concerned for some of our vulnerable communities with limited health literacy or those with minimal engagement with general practice.

    Dr Allan Moffitt, Clinical Director at ProCare says: “General practices are already under significant pressure. This change risks creating longer and more complex consultations down the line, and may reduce opportunities to catch early signs of deterioration in a patient’s condition. We also have questions around the allocation of the $10 million allocated, and if it is going to mainly cover technical changes, rather than educating patients on the need to maintain strong relationships with their General Practice care teams.”

    ProCare warns it may destabilise continuity of care without clear guidelines and appropriate wraparound support like clinical pharmacist follow-up or nurse-led monitoring.

    Bindi Norwell says: “This isn’t about resisting change. It’s about making sure we get it right for patients – the devil will be in the details, and our priority will be ensuring high-quality, clinically appropriate care for patients. Primary care must remain the front door of the health system, not a check-out aisle.”

    ProCare remains committed to working with Government to ensure that patient safety, health equity, and system sustainability are protected as these changes roll out.

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Budget 2025 – No new spending announced for primary care in Budget 2025 – ProCare Health

    Source: ProCare

    Leading healthcare provider, ProCare, has called today’s Budget extremely disappointing for primary care, with no new spending announced.

    While the Budget document touts a significant investment of $440.7 million over five years, the reality is that none of that is new money.

    Bindi Norwell, CEO at ProCare says: “Whist we acknowledge and welcome the pre-announced money which will help improve access, retention, and performance in general practice; the Government has not further invested in the wider primary care system as was anticipated by the sector.

    “Last year’s commitment to health care barely covered inflation and population growth, let alone addressing the issues we have with an aging population. This year’s new commitment is a paltry sum with additional requirements, that in real terms suggests the government investment in primary care is going backwards.

    “While our colleagues in secondary care will likely be welcoming the announcement, particularly the infrastructure investment for new hospitals, the reality is that primary care is once again missing out. Primary care has been underfunded for years now and is in desperate need of a significant funding investment,” continues Norwell.

    “It’s integral to invest in preventative care to keep people out of hospitals. Research shows that every dollar invested in general practice saves around $13 to $15 in secondary healthcare costs. Not investing more seems counter-intuitive to keeping our population well and to saving money in the long run,” points out Norwell.

    “Today’s announcement will likely hit consumers hard, as practices will likely need to increase their fees again to cover the costs of keeping the lights on and paying their staff,” concludes Norwell.

  • MIL-OSI Security: 80 arrests and more than 37,700 cultural goods seized in major art trafficking bust

    Source: Interpol (news and events)

    22 May 2025

    Europol, INTERPOL and the World Customs Organization (WCO) supported investigators from 23 countries in the fight against criminals who exploit humanity’s cultural heritage

    LYON, France – The ninth edition of Operation Pandora, an international operation targeting the trafficking of cultural goods, has led to 80 arrests and the seizure of 37,727 items including archaeological pieces, artworks, coins and musical instruments.

    Codenamed Pandora IX and carried out throughout 2024, the operation involved law enforcement and customs authorities from 23 countries. It was coordinated by Spain (Guardia Civil), with operational support from Europol, INTERPOL and the WCO through its Regional Intelligence Liaison Office for Eastern and Central Europe. 

    Authorities also confiscated 69 metal detectors and 23 tools commonly used for illegal excavations, underlining the persistent threat of looting to cultural sites.

    In total, 258 cases were reported by the participating countries. Many investigations are still ongoing, with further arrests and seizures expected.

    Operational highlights

    The Italian Carabinieri Command for the Protection of Cultural Heritage (TPC) in coordination with the Italian Customs and Monopolies agency (ADM) seized a painting attributed to renowned artist Jannis Kounellis during a joint border operation. Upon inspection, it was determined to be inauthentic. Had it been genuine, its estimated value would have been around EUR 100,000. In a separate investigation, the Carabinieri TPC seized more than 300 items, including coins, metal and ceramic fragments such as arrowheads and spearheads dating back to the Roman and Punic periods. These artifacts were being offered for sale on e-commerce platforms and were discovered in a private apartment.

    Two icons of Saint Seraphim of Sarov were discovered by Ukraine Customs.

    Both icons of Saint Seraphim were found in the luggage of a passenger travelling by bus during a control at the border with Poland.

    One of 36 coins found by Ukraine Customs while controlling a private vehicle at the border with Poland.

    The Spanish Guardia Civil dismantled a criminal group involved in archaeological looting

    Spanish Guardia Civil: During the operation authorities recovered 2,500 archaeological items, primarily Roman coins

    Italian Customs and Monopolies agency (ADM) seized a painting attributed to artist Jannis Kounellis, which turned out to be inauthentic.

    The Carabinieri TPC seized more than 300 items, including coins, metal and ceramic fragments.

    Since its launch in 2016, Operation Pandora has become a key global initiative to protect cultural heritage from illicit trafficking.

    The Spanish Guardia Civil dismantled a criminal group involved in archaeological looting in the province of Cáceres. Six individuals were arrested, and three others are under investigation. During the operation authorities recovered 2,500 archaeological items, primarily Roman coins minted in the Celtiberian city of Tamusia. These artifacts had been looted from protected archaeological sites in the province of Caceres using metal detectors and were being sold illegally through social media platforms.

    Also in Spain, the Guardia Civil intercepted a passenger attempting to fly from Palma de Mallorca to Germany carrying 55 ancient coins and a ring. A subsequent investigation led to an indictment for crimes against cultural heritage and plundering underwater wrecks and archaeological sites. In total, 64 objects of historical value and 1,576 ancient coins were confiscated.

    In Greece, the Department of Cultural Heritage and Antiquities of Athens recovered five Byzantine icons. Acting on intelligence and using special investigative techniques, including an undercover officer, three individuals were arrested while attempting to sell the icons for EUR 70,000.

    Ukrainian customs authorities seized 87 cultural goods that were being illegally transported out of the country to Poland, Moldova and Romania.

    Cyber patrols uncover additional cases

    In addition to on-the-ground actions, dedicated cyber patrols were carried out during the operation to identify potential illicit online sales of cultural property. These virtual investigations led to the opening of new cases, demonstrating how digital platforms are quickly becoming a channel of choice by traffickers to market and sell looted artefacts. A total of 4,298 cultural goods were seized as a result of the cyber patrols.

    Built on international cooperation

    Operation Pandora IX was carried out in the framework of the European Multidisciplinary Platform Against Criminal Threats (EMPACT). Europol facilitated the exchange of information and provided analytical and operational support to the national investigations. Furthermore, one cyber patrol week was hosted by Europol.

    INTERPOL coordinated cross-border actions and offered tools such as its Stolen Works of Art database and on the ground ID-Art mobile application.

    The WCO’s secure communication tool, CENcomm, was made available to all participants while its Regional Intelligence Liaison Office for Eastern and Central Europe compiled, refined and shared information provided by Customs administrations

    Since its launch in 2016, Operation Pandora has become a key global initiative to protect cultural heritage from illicit trafficking.

    Participating countries in Pandora IX (2024):

    Albania, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Moldova, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Spain, Ukraine, United States.

  • MIL-OSI: XRP News: Top XRP Holders Join Remittix As PayFi May Change How The World Moves Money

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, May 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With fresh regulatory clarity and the launch of XRP futures ETFs, the stage is set for a new era of institutional adoption. XRP whales are now looking to diversify into similar projects promising to transform cross-border payments, and they’ve landed on Remittix.

    This rising PayFi project has already secured over $15.1 million in presale funding ahead of a launch this year. There’s still time to be an early investor; here’s what to know.

    Things are looking up for XRP

    XRP is proving hard to ignore in 2025. After years of legal uncertainty, Ripple now has the clarity it needs. The SEC dropped its case earlier this year, propelling XRP’s price to a multi-year high of $3.31 and just below an all-time high of $3.40, now at around $2.35.

    Source: CoinGecko

    This XRP news has opened the door for big institutional growth, backed by upgrades to the XRP Ledger. It’s being fine-tuned for the real world, with Ethereum compatibility, custom smart contract extensions and even tokenized bonds through something called Multi-Purpose Tokens.

    That’s all alongside some of the most bullish XRP news this year: the launch of XRP futures ETFs through CME Group. That puts it alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum as one of the only tokens with a US-based futures contract and paves the way for a spot XRP ETF this year.

    It’s clear the tides of global money movement are shifting in Ripple’s favor and boosting XRP’s price. Big XRP holders are now diving into projects that align with the same mission faster, cheaper, compliant payments built for the world stage and Remittix is emerging as a top choice.

    Remittix is the PayFi pioneer

    Remittix is designed for the growing world of PayFi, where crypto meets everyday finance. It lets people convert over 40 different cryptocurrencies into fiat, then send that money straight to any global bank account. That’s all with a flat charge and near-instant settlement.

    The recipient doesn’t even need to know it started as a crypto payment. They just see the money land in their account like a normal transfer. That simplicity is part of what’s driving attention from XRP whales and investors looking for practical use cases in crypto.

    For businesses, Remittix opens even more doors. Through the Remittix Pay API, companies can accept crypto payments and settle them in fiat direct to their chosen bank account. There’s also a merchant account option that supports over 30 fiat currencies and 50+ crypto pairs in a neat, purpose-built dashboard.

    Behind it all is a supply-capped token (RMX) running on Ethereum, with 1.5 billion tokens total, half of which have gone to the presale. So far, over two-thirds have sold out with $15+ million raised, backed by a Solid Proof audit and a $250k Gleam competition.

    Remittix is already competing with names like Wise, Stripe and Coinbase, but it’s offering something they don’t: direct crypto-to-bank transfers. There’s a $194 trillion cross-border payments market to target and Remittix is aiming to carve out a serious share of it.

    XRP holders see bright things for Remittix

    Positive XRP news just keeps on coming and that provides a perfect foundation for Remittix’s bull run to continue. With direct crypto-to-bank transfers, fiat settlement and full business integration, Remittix is building real utility into the PayFi movement. Major XRP holders are already diversifying into Remittix and presale tokens won’t stick around forever. Secure a share of the upside before the presale ends.

  • MIL-OSI Economics: How is biodiversity shaping the future of business?

    Source: International Chamber of Commerce

    Headline: How is biodiversity shaping the future of business?

    Can there be business without biodiversity?

    No. Biodiversity underpins our collective survival, well-being and global economy.

    According to research, over half of the world’s GDP is moderately or highly dependent on nature and what it has to offer.

    The good news is that the critical role of nature is being increasingly recognised in decisions made by businesses and financial institutions across their operations, value chains and investments.

    How can economic development and natural preservation go hand in hand?

    One way we can enable economic development and the preservation of our natural environment is by promoting the sustainable use of biodiversity, which is a key pillar of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). The global agreement aimed at conserving the diversity of life on Earth was adopted in 1992.

    Companies are increasingly seeking ways to play their role in creating economic opportunities while fulfilling their responsibilities towards society and the environment. To do so, businesses can evaluate how their activities impact and depend on nature and nature-related risks, and use these insights in a meaningful way.

    And what can governments do?

    Governments can design supportive policies that encourage companies to adapt their operations and strategies in a way that biodiversity is maintained, and if possible, enhanced.

    Businesses can and should be part of the solution to find paths to ensure that economic development is sustainable and in harmony with nature.

    And what is the role of research and innovation?

    Research and innovation is one way of making sustainable use of biodiversity to develop knowledge and solutions to tackle societal and environmental challenges. Enabling frameworks are needed to stimulate and support nature-based innovation which can form the basis of a sustainable bioeconomy and contribute to biodiversity conservation.

    As the institutional representative of over 45 million companies worldwide, ICC is working with governments and other stakeholders to develop enabling frameworks for companies to share benefits from the use of biodiversity that can meaningfully support biodiversity conservation as well as research and innovation.

    To understand what is needed to make the CBD’s multilateral benefit sharing mechanism work from a business perspective read our business views on a multilateral benefit sharing mechanism.

    Five First World War Soldiers Buried in Belgium

    The remains of Private (Pte) Harry James Birch of the Cheshire Regiment, and four unknown soldiers were recovered during roadworks in the Poelcapelle-Hulsthoutseweg area of Belgium in 2018.

    The service, organised by the MOD’s Joint Casualty and Compassionate Centre (JCCC), also known as the ‘MOD War Detectives’, was held at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s (CWGC) Poelcapelle British Cemetery near Ypres, Belgium today (21 May 2025).

    Pte Birch, who served with the 16th Battalion The Cheshire Regiment, died on 22 October 1917 during the Third Battle of Ypres. Pte Birch was formally identified using DNA provided by his great-nephew, but the first clue to his identity was a leather belt found with him which bore traces of his regimental number and part of his name.

    Alexia Clark, MOD War Detective said:

    It has been a privilege to organise this burial service for Pte Birch. When you consider the half-a-million men still missing from the First and Second World Wars, every one we can identify feels like an achievement. I am delighted that Pte Birch’s military family have now been able to give him the dignified burial he had been denied for so long.

    Sadly, despite extensive research, it has not been possible to identify the four men found alongside Pte Birch.  In total 2,068 men lost their lives in Belgium between 22 and 24 October 1917 and more than 1,000 of those remain missing.

    Reverend Gary Birch, Senior Chaplain, Head Quarters South West, said:

    It is always a sobering privilege to officiate at any service person’s funeral, but even more so to give a WW1 soldier the proper dignity and respect they deserve. Although we’re not related, the fact that I share two names with Private Harry James Birch brings an even greater poignancy to the service for me, and a reminder that any of us who serve in the armed forces may one day be asked to offer the greatest sacrifice in service to others.

    Although the other men buried next to Pte Birch today remain unnamed, it is important and right that each one is given the same respect and honour. Each one who fell whilst serving their country is worthy of full respect and it is my great honour to lead these moments of reflection and reverence.

    The graves will now be cared for by CWGC. Dr Daniel Seaton, Commemorations Case Officer at the CWGC, said:

    We are deeply honoured to have these four unknown soldiers and Private Birch of the Cheshire Regiment laid to rest at Poelcapelle British Cemetery, after they tragically lost their lives more than a century ago. Their graves will be cared for by us, in perpetuity. We would also like to thank our Belgium Area Operations Team and Recovery Unit for their part in preparing the cemetery – with this ceremony speaking to the Commission’s work of ensuring that those who gave their lives in the world wars continue to be remembered.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Leadership in Economics, Management and Trade: Polytechnic University Creates Platform for Interdisciplinary Dialogue

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University – Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    The Institute of Industrial Management, Economics and Trade held the All-Russian scientific-practical and educational-methodical conference “Fundamental and applied research in the field of management, economics and trade”. The conference was attended by teachers and scientists, representatives of the business community, government bodies, as well as the young academic generation – postgraduates and masters of universities. The geography of the conference covered ten regions of the Russian Federation and foreign countries: Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan.

    IPMET holds the conference for the ninth year in a row. This year, the main agenda touched upon the current issues of achieving technological leadership of Russia in the economy, management, trade, finance and economic security. Participants shared their research and experience in implementing applied solutions using modern mathematical and statistical tools, progressive digital technologies applicable to different levels of management: state, regional, industry, individual enterprises and organizations.

    The grand opening took place in the White Hall of the Polytechnic Universityplenary session “Artificial Intelligence in the Economy: Cross-Industry Solutions”. The session was moderated by the chairperson of the conference program committee, director of the Scientific and Educational Center for Information Technology and Business Analysis at Gazprom Neft, and professor at the Higher School of Engineering and Economics, Irina Rudskaya.

    The plenary session was held in the format of a panel discussion, at which the speakers touched upon current issues concerning the possibilities and problems of using artificial intelligence in various areas of the economy: industry, telecommunications, medicine, finance, education, and agriculture.

    The discussion turned out to be lively and non-trivial, since both speakers and participants were skillfully involved by the moderator in the discussion of the pressing issues of artificial intelligence, which was continued in other events of the conference.

    Arman Avetyan, Associate Professor of the Department of Management and Business at the Russian-Armenian University, who was invited to participate in the discussion, shared his experience of using artificial intelligence in the educational process during practical classes with students and postgraduates. Khamit Fattakhov, Director of Continuous Improvement of Production at Power Machines JSC, briefly spoke about the specifics of using AI tools to increase labor productivity and optimize operational processes in industry.

    Artificial intelligence goes beyond automation, creating inter-industry synergy: finance, education, industry. AI technologies not only increase efficiency, but also change management strategies, helping businesses adapt to digital challenges. That is why our conference brought together not only economists and IT specialists, but also representatives of business, healthcare, agriculture and science. Only interdisciplinary dialogue allows us to find a balance between innovation and sustainability, – says Irina Rudskaya.

    In addition to the plenary session, there were three round tables and 16 sections, including a section of the student scientific society.

    A separate section of the conference was devoted to educational and methodological issues of training personnel for strategically important sectors of the economy in modern conditions.

    Also, to celebrate the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the conference included a section entitled “The Great Victory: Socio-Economic and Technological Aspects” with presentations on issues of economics, the social sphere and the development of technology in the war and post-war periods.

    An excursion to the Museum of History of SPbPU was organized for the conference guests, which was conducted by the museum director Valery Klimov, as well as a cultural program with a sightseeing tour of the city. The tour guides there were students from the Higher School of Service and Trade of the IPMET, majoring in Tourism and Hotel Business.

    On the last day of the conference, the head of the Department of Economic Theory Svetlana Golovkina gave a lecture on the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, “Science and Education in the Blockaded Polytechnic: a Feat of Intelligence.” The speaker clearly drew a line between human and artificial intelligence, and showed the role and significance of human thought in solving extremely complex problems during the blockade.

    The conference ended with the awarding of the winners of the competition of students’ research papers, as well as the winners and prize-winners of the competition for the support of scientific research of postgraduate students of the Institute of Mechanics and Technology, conducted with the financial support of the target capital “Economic Education” of the endowment fund of SPbPU.

    This year, when planning and organizing the conference, we set ourselves three main objectives. The first was to create a modern congress platform with a broad geographical and representative coverage for exchanging opinions and knowledge. The second was to offer and implement a lively professional discussion on topical issues of the fundamental and applied agenda for achieving Russia’s technological leadership in the economy, management and trade. And the third was to strengthen existing and establish new ties between conference participants, create conditions for effective interaction in the educational, scientific and industrial spheres. I would also like to emphasize the importance of our horizontal collaboration – the coordinated work of all structural divisions of IPMEiT in organizing the conference allowed us to use the scientific, personnel and resource potential of the institute as effectively as possible and expand the scope of participation, – summed up the results of the conference, IPMEiT Director Vladimir Shchepinin.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: PISH Polytechnic is in the first group of the best Advanced Engineering Schools of Russia

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University – Peter the Great St Petersburg Polytechnic University –

    The Digital Engineering School of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University entered the first group ranking of leading engineering schools in Russia. It reflects the quality of educational programs, scientific research, the degree of development of the development program and the management system. The rating is a guideline for school teams and their technology partners, in which areas they need to improve and develop their activities.

    The first group consists of:

    Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Moscow) National Research University ITMO (Saint Petersburg) Bauman Moscow State Technical University (Moscow) Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University (Saint Petersburg) National University of Science and Technology MISIS (Moscow) Samara State Medical University (Samara) Southern Federal University (Rostov-on-Don) Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin (Ekaterinburg) Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University (Kazan) National Research Tomsk State University (Tomsk)

    Along with the universities of the Ministry of Education and Science, the first wave of the project included universities of the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Digital Development, which already at the start of the project allowed for more comprehensive coverage of key sectors of the economy. The focus of the leading engineering schools and their technology partners was on strategically important areas, including automation and artificial intelligence, digital twins and new materials, optimization of technological processes, and unmanned aircraft systems. It is important that working with leading engineering schools has greatly interested businesses, so while the volume of state funding for the first wave of schools over three years amounted to 25.1 billion rubles, extra-budgetary investments amounted to 33.3 billion rubles, noted the head of the Russian Ministry of Education and Science, Valery Falkov.

    The PISH rating, formed based on the results of defenses, will allow us to further monitor the dynamics of the development of leading engineering schools.

    Let us recall that on May 15, 2025, the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU at the Council for the consideration of issues and coordination of the activities of the Advanced Engineering School presented the results of its work and development plans for two and a half years.

    The program of the SPbPU PIS “Digital Engineering” allowed us to open many new modern laboratories and scientific and educational spaces at our university, develop and launch new master’s and additional professional education programs in relevant engineering areas. I would like to note that the SPbPU PIS also expanded its effective and systematic interaction with industrial partners – high-tech companies and corporations. In addition, it was in the “Digital Engineering” PIS that the qualified partnership model was successfully tested, which formed the basis of the SPbPU development program until 2030 and in the long term until 2036. Formed teams with competencies and experience in solving breakthrough scientific and technological problems, the created scientific and scientific-technological reserve and the established effective qualified partnership with industry will help us make a breakthrough in the scientific and technological sphere, aimed at ensuring the technological leadership of our country, – commented the rector of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, chairman of the St. Petersburg branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Andrey Rudskoy.

    As a representative of the company – industrial partner of the SPbPU PISh, Director of the Department of Scientific and Technical Activities of JSC TVEL Alexey Shishkin noted: Fuel Company TVEL has been a strategic partner of the SPbPU PISh “Digital Engineering” since the beginning of the federal project Advanced Engineering Schools. Two and a half years of our joint activities have convincingly proven that the synergy of the competencies of the country’s leading polytechnic university and a high-tech company yields outstanding results, both in the field of training engineering personnel and in terms of R & D implementation. Already in 2024, graduates of the Master’s program of the Advanced Engineering School “Digital Engineering” were employed by the company “Centrotech-Engineering”, which is part of the management circuit of Fuel Company TVEL. Training at the SPbPU PISh gives young engineers a unique opportunity to use and implement the latest technologies in their activities, influencing the development of the nuclear industry. We are especially pleased that it was with the specialists of the Advanced Engineering School of SPbPU that at the end of 2024 we successfully completed a three-year project that was significant for TVEL Fuel Company and the entire nuclear industry – the development of digital twins of fuel assemblies for water-moderated nuclear reactors – TVS-K PWR and TVS WWER.

    The implementation of the strategic initiative of the Government of the Russian Federation “Advanced Engineering Schools” in the period from 2022 to 2024 was carried out within the framework of the federal project “Advanced Engineering Schools” of the state program “Scientific and Technological Development of the Russian Federation”. Since 2025, the continuity of the activities of the project “Advanced Engineering Schools” has been ensured by including them in the federal project “Universities for the Generation of Leaders” of the national project “Youth and Children”.

    Source: Hong Kong Government special administrative region

         The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) released today (May 22) the Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures for April 2025. According to the Composite CPI, overall consumer prices rose by 2.0% in April 2025 over the same month a year earlier, larger than the corresponding increase (1.4%) in March 2025. The larger increase was mainly attributable to the lower ceiling of rates concession in April 2025 when compared with the same month last year. Netting out the effects of all Government’s one-off relief measures, the year-on-year rate of increase in the Composite CPI (i.e. the underlying inflation rate) in April 2025 was 1.3%, also larger than that in March 2025 (1.0%). The larger increase was mainly due to the increases in the charges for package tours as well as inbound and outbound transport fares.  

         On a seasonally adjusted basis, the average monthly rate of change in the Composite CPI for the 3-month period ending April 2025 was -0.1%, and that for the 3-month period ending March 2025 was 0.0%. Netting out the effects of all Government’s one-off relief measures, the corresponding rates of change were both 0.0%.

    Press release

    Multi-million defence investment creates 700 jobs days after UK-EU security pact

    Hundreds of high-skilled jobs created at defence firm MBDA’s expanded Bolton site.

    • Hundreds of high-skilled jobs created at defence firm MBDA’s expanded Bolton site, working on cutting-edge missile system manufacturing technology
    • Announcement comes just days after the Government signs new Security and Defence Partnership that will boost defence procurement opportunities for UK.
    • Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds will visit site and hail investment as latest vote of confidence in Government’s upcoming modern Industrial Strategy.

    Britain’s defence industry received yet another boost this week as 700 high-skilled jobs are set to be created following a £200 million investment from European defence company MBDA at its site in Bolton.

    The announcement follows new Security and Defence Partnership signed at this week’s EU-UK Summit which will open the door to the EU’s new weapons scheme, leading to significant opportunities for the UK’s world-leading defence industries, driving growth and supporting 430,000 British jobs and livelihoods.

    This is the latest win for the UK’s leading defence and advanced manufacturing sectors and is further proof the Government’s Plan for Change is working.

    It also represents a major vote of confidence in the upcoming modern Industrial Strategy, which will drive investment in the UK’s high-growth sectors by giving businesses the certainty they need to commit to the UK.

    Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds will visit MBDA’s Bolton site today (22 May) to formally announce the investment, which forms part of a wider £500 million commitment from the company to expand its UK manufacturing and technologies.

    Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said:

    This is great news for Bolton and another win for our world-class defence sector, which will create hundreds of good, well-paid jobs and ensure the UK continues to lead the way on the cutting-edge technologies of the future.

    Our new Security and Defence Partnership will unlock access to the EU’s proposed new £150 billion defence fund for UK firms. Coupled with the launch of our upcoming modern Industrial Strategy, communities across the country will see how our Plan for Change is working – delivering growth at home and strength abroad.

    The investment from MBDA, a leading missile systems manufacturer, will more than double its Bolton footprint by 2028 and grow its apprenticeship and STEM outreach programme, which already includes over 400 early-career professionals UK-wide.

    It also supports MBDA’s goal to deliver £10 billion of UK exports by 2032, cementing the UK’s position as a leader in the manufacturing and export of complex weapons systems, and comes after the Government announced a £6.5 billion complex weapons partnership with MBDA in July 2024.

    MBDA UK Managing Director Chris Allam said:

    We are proud and excited to be building a world class engineering and manufacturing campus in the north-west of England, the centre of complex weapons manufacturing for the UK, and our associated recruitment and training will extend our already great workforce.

    MBDA is privileged to have a 10-year Complex Weapons portfolio agreement with the UK Government. This gives us the confidence to invest and better support the UK and its allies. It also helps our supply chain and over 700 SMEs who work with MBDA in the UK. When we expand, they expand with us.

    Megan, a manufacturing apprentice at MBDA’s Bolton site, said:

    It’s great that our site is expanding and there will be more early-careers opportunities for young people. Becoming an apprentice was an obvious choice for me. Having the chance to learn as part of my full-time job and achieve a recognised qualification and career made it a very easy decision.

    Apprenticeships can be unique experience for each person. They provide the chance to excel in industries people are passionate about, and the experiences they get will shape their future. Making the most out of my apprenticeship has led to reward and recognition for my hard work, and I always encourage others to study STEM subjects and do the same.

    UK Export Finance CEO Tim Reid said:

    Pioneering companies like MBDA UK investing in their people and technologies for the long-term underscore why we are a world leader in defence.

    Thanks to our multi-billion-pound direct lending uplift, we can support even more defence firms to expand their production lines and take on more international orders from allies – leading to greater economic growth, stronger supply chains and local jobs back here at home.

    The Government is backing the defence sector to deliver skilled jobs and growth across the country as part of its Plan for Change and is providing significant financial support to UK defence companies through UK Export Finance (UKEF).

    In March this year, the Chancellor announced a £2 billion increase in UKEF’s Direct Lending capacity for defence exports, taking its overall lending capability to £10 billion.

    The UK is one of the largest exporters of defence equipment in the world, and in 2023 the UK won defence contracts worth £14.5 billion.

    Appointment of Jonathan Hall KC as independent reviewer

    Jonathan Hall KC has been appointed to lead the HMP Frankland Independent Review.

    Following the attacks on 3 prison officers in the separation centre at HMP Frankland on 12 April, the Lord Chancellor announced on 15 May that Jonathan Hall KC will lead the HMP Frankland Independent Review.

    The terms of the independent review are as follows:

    • Consider whether the facts of the incident, as established by HMPPS’ internal review reveal the need for any changes to how convicted terrorists are placed onto Separation Centres.
    • Consider whether the policies, operating procedures, legal framework, and relationships with other agencies that underpin Separation Centres are fit for purpose, including whether an appropriate balance is being struck between security and long-term offender management.
    • Provide findings and recommendations on the basis of the above that can be implemented to reduce the likelihood of any such incident occurring in the future.

    Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood said:

    I will do whatever it takes to protect our brave prison officers. I have asked for the review to report back promptly, and to leave no stone unturned so we can prevent such an incident ever happening again.

    Jonathan Hall KC

    Jonathan Hall KC is the current Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation and Independent Reviewer of State Threats Legislation. Mr Hall is an experienced barrister in independent practice and King’s Counsel since 2014. He has been involved in complex and high-profile cases involving fraud, law enforcement, and national security.

    While Mr Hall will be given access to the information he needs to deliver against the terms of reference, the review will be independent of HMPPS. The report on the Review, including any recommendations, will be submitted to the Lord Chancellor and the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Justice.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Republican Tax Plan Fails in Budget Committee as Rep. Peters Urges Fiscal Sanity

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congressman Scott Peters (52nd District of California)

    Washington, D.C — Today, the House Budget Committee rejected the Republican tax plan, which will kick 13.7 million Americans off of their healthcare, by a vote of 21-16, with all Democrats and five Republicans voting against. During the committee’s consideration of the bill, Representative Peters urged his colleagues who have traditionally preached fiscal conservatism to reject the bill because it adds to the massive government debt and annual deficits. Many of the Republicans who voted no echoed Rep. Peters’ fiscal concerns. The Budget Committee is expected to reconsider the legislation on Sunday evening.

     

    During his remarks, Rep. Peters stated, “Unfortunately, this is from a budget perspective, a disaster for the United States, despite the flowery language you hear. Every year this country has been racking up $2 trillion of debt because we don’t pay our expenses. And that means, the national debt, unless we do something about that, will grow from 36 to 38 to 40 to 42 trillion. And despite all the cuts you hear about, none of them are applied to lowering that annual deficit number that adds to our national debt, not any of them.” 

     

    He continued, “Scott Besant, the Treasury Secretary, says we need to get our deficits down to 3% of GDP to dig out of this hole. Today, without this law, that’s going to take about $7 trillion of savings and revenues over the next 10 years. But when you add in the cost of this bill, this budget busting bill, that number goes to $11 to $12 trillion, we’re going to have to save over the next 10 years. This is not going in the right direction at all. 

     

    And he concluded, “The tax gap, the difference between what is owed and what we collect, is $697 billion. And what are we doing about that? We see DOGE cutting the IRS’s ability to collect taxes. This is irresponsible. It’s the wrong thing to do budget. We need a bipartisan process that deals with this honestly, with revenues and cuts. We don’t have it. Please vote this down.” 

     

    Representative Peters is the co-author of the Fiscal Commission Act, legislation to create a bicameral, and open-doored commission to tackle our nation’s long-term debt, help us avoid automatic and across-the-board cuts to Social Security and Medicare, and secure a more prosperous future for our children. 

     

    CA-50 Medicaid Facts:  

    1.       156,100 people in the district rely on Medicaid for health coverage—that’s 20 percent of all district residents. 

    a.       34,700 children in the district are covered by Medicaid. 

    b.       17,700 seniors in the district are covered by Medicaid. 

    c.       64,900 adults in the district have Medicaid coverage through Medicaid expansion—that includes pregnant women who are able to access prenatal care sooner because of Medicaid expansion, parents, caretakers, veterans, people with substance use disorder and mental health treatment needs, and people with chronic conditions and disabilities. 

    2.       At least five hospitals in the district had negative operating margins in 2022. These hospitals would be especially hard-hit by cuts to Medicaid. For example: 

    a.       Scripps Mercy Hospital had a negative 25.3 percent operating margin—and nearly 22 percent of its revenue came from Medicaid. 

    b.       Sharp Coronado Hospital had a negative 3.5 percent operating margin—and over 36 percent of its revenue came from Medicaid. 

    c.       University of California San Diego Medical Center had a negative 2.4 percent operating margin—and nearly 19 percent of its revenue came from Medicaid. 

    3.       There are 54 health center delivery sites in the district that serve 529,944 patients. 

    4.       Those health centers and patients rely on Medicaid—statewide, 69 percent of health center patients rely on Medicaid for coverage. 

    5.       Health centers will not be able to stay open and provide the same care that they do today, with more uninsured and underinsured patients. They are already operating on thin margins—in 2023, nationally, nearly half of health centers had negative operating margins. 

    6.       Medicaid cuts put health centers at risk, including: 

    a.       Family Health Centers of San Diego 

    b.       Neighborhood Healthcare 

    c.       North County Health Project 

    d.       San Diego American Indian Health Centers 

    e.       St. Vincent De Paul Village

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Government’s Budget fails Māori

    Source: Green Party

    The Government has failed Māori and ignored its Te Tiriti obligations with its Budget, says Te Mātāwaka, the Green Party’s Māori and Pasifika Caucus. 

    “This Budget has no ambition for Māori and ignores te Tiriti o Waitangi. We deserve better and can do much better,” says Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson.

    “Te Tiriti o Waitangi is a promise of protection, for our whānau and our whenua. A promise this Government has broken before and has broken again today with this Budget.

    “This Budget builds on the Government’s legacy of the Treaty Principles Bill, the disestablishment of Te Aka Whai Ora and the repeal of 7AA.

    “Budget 2025 strips the Māori Development fund by nearly $10 million, cuts funding to Whakaata Māori even deeper and leaves Whānua Ora with even less than what it was given in the last Budget which we know was far from enough. The cuts made to Māori housing today are also an absolute disgrace.

    “Christopher Luxon has clearly given up on even pretending to care about Māori, failing to show up at Waitangi and now failing to provide anything of substance for our communities with this Budget.

    “A Green Government will uphold te Tiriti o Waitangi in everything we do. We are here to honour the promises Aotearoa was founded upon.

    “We will fill the gaps in our health system that have failed our people across generations by bringing back Te Aka Whai Ora and rolling out free GPs across Aotearoa, especially in hard-to-reach communities. 

    “Our Hoki Whenua Mai policy means land back for tangata whenua and protection against further acquisitions from the Crown.

    “We can do all of this and more by making this a one-term Government, by demanding the rich pay their fair share, and by embedding te Tiriti o Waitangi as the poutokomanawa of our whare ora,” says Marama Davidson.

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: ‘Growth Budget’ growing inequality and fuelling climate crisis

    Source: Green Party

    Budget 2025 represents a significant step backwards for Aotearoa, with the Government adding fuel to the fire when it comes to the climate and inequality crises, says the Green Party. 

    “This Budget is bad news for people and planet,” says Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson.

    “Christopher Luxon clearly has no ambition for this country and not a care in the world when it comes to the climate crisis. This Budget will see more and more people living on the street, it will mean thousands more families struggling to put food on the table and it will result in more children growing up in poverty.

    “With cuts to Kiwi Saver, housing for the ‘right people,’ instead of all people and taking away money from whānau with babies, this Government has well and truly put its cards of cruelty on the table. We do not have to accept this and we can fight for a future where everyone has what they need on a planet with thriving nature and a stable climate.

    “A Green Government will do things differently. Instead of opening gas fields in the middle of the climate crisis, pushing people into poverty and punishing them for it, we will rapidly reduce emissions, reduce the cost of living and improve our quality of life,” says Marama Davidson.

    Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says, “This is even worse than a BS budget. Not only is the Government shredding public services and giving up on reducing child poverty, they’re pouring oil and gas all over the climate crisis fire.

    “Resilient energy supply means investing in distributed renewable energy, not burning public money to subsidise new gas fields and fossil fuel executive profits.

    “Somehow even more bewildering, these very moves could compromise our Free Trade Agreements with the UK and EU. So much for ‘responsible economic managers.’

    “Last week, the Greens released our budget to show how we can reduce the cost of living, increase the quality of life and rapidly reduce climate changing emissions.

    “Today, the Government said ‘yeah,nah,’ to a liveable future for all of us,” says Chlöe Swarbrick.

He also inspected an exhibition at the railway station and interacted with the students, who gifted him some paintings.

    Earlier, he landed at Nal Airbase in Bikaner and proceeded directly to the Karni Mata Temple in Deshnok. PM Modi offered prayers at the famous temple. Upon his arrival, the Prime Minister was received by Rajasthan Governor Haribhau Bagde, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma, and Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal. Temple authorities welcomed him with a replica of the Karni Mata Temple, and he also offered ‘prasad’ and a donation at the sanctum.

    This is his first visit to Rajasthan following India’s attack on terror launch pads in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) on May 7. He will also address a large public meeting in Palana village near Bikaner.

    His total stay in Bikaner is scheduled for 3 hours and 25 minutes. This visit is reminiscent of his public address in Churu, delivered on the morning of the airstrikes following the Pulwama attack.

    The Prime Minister will depart for Palana village by road, a journey of about 8 kilometres. A massive crowd of over one lakh people is expected at the public meeting venue, where elaborate seating arrangements and a large pandal have been set up.

    During the event, PM Modi will inaugurate 103 Amrit Stations nationwide and lay the foundation stone for various development projects worth Rs 26,000 crore. These projects include 1,000 km of electrified railway tracks, seven major road projects, three vehicle underpasses, a PowerGrid transmission project and 900 km of national highways in Rajasthan. After the public meeting, the Prime Minister will return to Nal Airport by helicopter around 12.30 p.m. and depart for Delhi at around 1.15 p.m. (IANS)

    “That is why we are asking for your support so that our young people can attend this milestone event wearing evening gowns, suits, and accessories, which they can wear with smiles on their faces!

    “All donations, no matter how big or small, will be hugely appreciated and will make a remarkable difference to the young people we care for.”
