瑞典焚烧古兰经者被枪杀 “`

(SeaPRwire) -   在直播期间,这名伊拉克难民在其公寓内被杀 据当地新闻媒体报道,以在瑞典公开焚烧《古兰经》而闻名的伊拉克难民萨尔万·莫米卡(Salwan Momika)在其位于索德尔泰勒的公寓内被枪杀。据称,这起谋杀发生在周三,就在他定于第二天出庭受审,面临仇恨言论指控的前一天。 莫米卡于2018年来到瑞典,五年后,他在北欧国家举行了几次焚烧《古兰经》的示威活动,从而引发国际关注,并在许多穆斯林占多数的国家引发抗议。他的行为引发了瑞典与包括伊拉克、土耳其和巴基斯坦在内的国家之间的外交紧张关系。伊拉克政府曾要求引渡他,瑞典当局在2023年对他启动了驱逐出境程序,但该程序尚未完成。 据报道,周三的袭击发生在38岁的莫米卡在TikTok上直播期间。瑞典警方证实,他们已逮捕了五名与这起谋杀案有关的人,但尚未透露嫌犯的身份或动机细节。调查人员据称正在努力确定此次枪击事件是出于政治动机还是宗教动机。 据媒体报道,莫米卡本应于周四出庭,就其举行四次焚烧《古兰经》的行为煽动针对某一民族集团的案件接受判决。 “由于已确认被告之一已死亡,判决必须根据无法对已故人士进行判决的事实进行调整,”斯德哥尔摩地方法院表示。 该案的另一名被告萨尔万·纳杰姆(Salwan Najem)在评论莫米卡遇害的消息时声称,他也很可能成为目标。“下一个是我,”纳杰姆在X上写道。 近年来,欧洲有几个人在公开反对伊斯兰教后成为袭击目标或被杀害。2020年,法国教师萨穆埃尔·帕蒂(Samuel Paty)在课堂上讨论言论自由时展示先知穆罕默德的漫画后被斩首。同年晚些时候,尼斯一座教堂发生刀袭事件,造成三人死亡。2015年,巴黎《查理周刊》办公室发生恐怖袭击,该杂志刊登了讽刺穆罕默德的漫画,造成12人死亡。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

澳大利亚雇佣兵被俄方俘获——堪培拉

(SeaPRwire) -   一段展示俄军审问在乌克兰作战的奥斯卡·詹金斯的视频于去年12月出现 澳大利亚总理阿尔巴内塞告诉全国媒体,俄罗斯当局已通知澳大利亚,其公民奥斯卡·詹金斯还活着,目前已被拘留。这位32岁的男子去年年底在为乌克兰作战时失踪。 12月,一位俄罗斯军事博主发布了一段视频,显示了对一名自称詹金斯的人的审问。 阿尔巴内塞周三对澳大利亚广播公司新闻表示,澳大利亚已通过澳大利亚外交贸易部收到了俄罗斯当局的“声明”,并且堪培拉正在“寻求确认”。 据该媒体报道,俄罗斯大使阿列克谢·帕夫洛夫斯基告知澳大利亚政府,詹金斯被关押在俄罗斯境内,情况“正常”。 澳大利亚外交部长黄英贤周三在一份单独声明中表示,堪培拉已“向……莫斯科明确表示,詹金斯是战俘,俄罗斯有义务根据国际人道主义法对待他”。 本月早些时候,澳大利亚广播公司援引其他几位为乌克兰作战的外国国民的话说,詹金斯可能在被俘后不久就被处决了。詹金斯的美国战友声称,由于他手上“素食主义者”纹身,澳大利亚国民的尸体已被辨认出来。另一位澳大利亚人告诉记者,詹金斯的遗体与其他几具遗体一起,“在拍摄视频的同一地区被发现”。 在评论这份报告时,外交部长黄英贤表达了“严重关切”,并表示“俄罗斯大使已被召见”以澄清这位澳大利亚国民的命运。 大约在同一时间,克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫告诉俄罗斯媒体,他“不知道澳大利亚方面是否以任何官方方式提出了这个问题”。这位官员补充说,“可能,一些行动已经通过外交渠道进行”。 佩斯科夫强调,外国战斗人员“在基辅政权一方参与敌对行动”是俄罗斯军队的“合法目标”。 自2022年2月冲突升级以来,已有许多来自包括英国和美国在内的多个西方国家的战斗人员在乌克兰被证实死亡。 莫斯科认为,在乌克兰军队中服役的外国国民是雇佣军,不符合日内瓦公约赋予战俘的保护。俄罗斯还指责基辅的支持者在其军队的退伍军人中协助雇佣雇佣军,并以此为证据证明西方正在对该国发动代理人战争。 去年9月,俄罗斯调查委员会报告说,它已完成对785名外国雇佣军的调查。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Meta支付2500万美元与特朗普达成和解,以解决审查诉讼 – 媒体报道

(SeaPRwire) -   据报道,这笔款项将用于资助这位美国领导人的未来总统图书馆 Facebook的母公司Meta Platforms据报道已同意支付2500万美元,以解决总统唐纳德·特朗普提起的诉讼。特朗普指控该公司在2021年暂停其Facebook和Instagram账户后对其进行审查。 这项诉讼是特朗普在1月6日国会骚乱后各大社交媒体公司封禁他之后,对主要社交媒体公司采取的更广泛法律行动的一部分。据《华尔街日报》周三首次报道,和解协议包括2200万美元拨款给特朗普的总统图书馆基金,其余款项用于支付法律费用和补偿其他原告。 Meta尚未发布公开声明详细说明协议条款,但熟悉该和解协议的消息人士向多家美国媒体证实了这一结果。虽然该公司没有承认任何不当行为,但据报道,在旷日持久的诉讼和讨论之后,该公司决定达成和解,而这些诉讼和讨论在2024年11月首席执行官马克·扎克伯格与特朗普在海湖庄园会面后有所加剧。 作为其改善与特朗普关系努力的一部分,Meta在本月初停止了其在美国有争议的第三方事实查核计划。扎克伯格在视频讲话中承认,这些服务“过于偏向政治”,“造成的信任破坏多于创造的信任”。 扎克伯格还承认,这些变化受到了近期政治气候的影响,包括特朗普的胜选。“最近的选举感觉像是文化上的一个转折点,再次优先考虑言论,”扎克伯格说,并承诺减少“审查”。 此外,Meta已决定取消其多元化、公平与包容(DEI)计划,并修改其招聘流程,该流程以前会考虑申请人的性别和种族背景。 特朗普最初于2021年对Twitter、Google和Facebook提起诉讼,指控其“审查”,并辩称如果这些公司可以封禁一位在任的美国总统,“他们可以对任何人这样做”。在他对Twitter的诉讼中,埃隆·马斯克正在收购该公司期间,该诉讼于2022年5月被驳回。 Meta在2023年初解除了对特朗普的禁令,恢复了他的账户,并制定了具体的內容审核指南,以防止“重复违反”其平台规则。 上个月,美国广播公司新闻 (ABC News) 同样同意支付1500万美元作为对特朗普总统图书馆的“慈善捐款”,以解决一起诽谤诉讼。美国总统图书馆的概念始于富兰克林·D·罗斯福,其目的是保存和提供美国总统的论文、记录和历史资料。唐纳德·J·特朗普总统图书馆是第15个由国家档案馆和记录管理局 (NARA) 管理的总统图书馆。目前,它作为一个数字档案馆运作,尚未公开宣布任何实体位置的计划。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

MHI Thermal Systems Receives 2024 Agency for Natural Resources and Energy Commissioner’s Award from ECCJ for TEJ35AM Electric-Driven Transport Refrigeration Unit Integrated with Isuzu’s ELF EV

TOKYO, Jan 30, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd. (MHI Thermal Systems), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, has received the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy Commissioner's Award (Transportation Field) in the Best Products and Business Models category of the Energy Conservation Center, Japan's (ECCJ) 2024 Energy Conservation Grand Prize Awards, for its TEJ35AM electric-driven transport refrigeration unit(1) integrated with the ELF EV, an electric truck made by Isuzu Motors Ltd. (Isuzu). The award was shared by MHI Thermal Systems and Isuzu. The winning unit was cited for its ability to maintain a constant temperature inside the cargo room, enabled by sharing of battery power by TEJ35AM and ELF EV, and for its simultaneous contributions to CO2 reduction and energy savings. The awards ceremony was held in Tokyo on January 29.ECCJ's Energy Conservation Grand Prize Awards are presented in recognition of outstanding energy-saving initiatives at businesses or workplaces that should serve as model examples for other companies, or superior energy-saving products or business models. The awards program was created to contribute to the formation of an energy-saving society by spreading energy conservation awareness throughout Japan and promoting the adoption of energy-saving products. Previously, in 2019 MHI Thermal Systems received ECCJ's Energy Conservation Grand Prize in the Transportation Field for its TE20/TE30 Series of electric-driven refrigeration units(2).In the 2024 award-winning combination, the TEJ35AM and ELF EV achieves coordinated power control that gives priority to temperature control in the cargo room. The TEJ35AM operates at maximum capacity immediately after engine startup, enabling quick temperature control; and once the target temperature is reached, it operates with outstanding efficiency. Together these features realize waste-free operation using limited power. Combination with the ELF EV enables a 21.3% reduction in annual average energy consumption, 46.1% reduction in annual average CO2 emissions, and 42.2% reduction in annual energy costs compared to conventional refrigeration trucks(3), thereby contributing to decarbonization advancement and energy cost reduction.The TEJ35AM was launched in 2023 as an electric-driven transport refrigeration unit with a heat-pump heating function exclusively for EVs. Adoption of a heat-pump heating system enables simultaneous heating and cooling operations with outstanding efficiency. This duality enables the TEJ35AM to accommodate diverse transport modes, including simultaneous transport of products requiring multiple temperatures, to meet the needs of convenience stores and other users. Furthermore, because the refrigeration unit can be operated under all vehicle operating conditions - running, idling, parked or charging - the temperature inside the cargo room can be kept stable at all times, easing the need for the driver to continually check the cargo room temperature and battery power level.With receipt of the latest ECCJ award, MHI Thermal Systems renews its determination to develop technologies and products that will contribute to further CO2 reductions and energy savings. Also, going forward the Company will apply its integrated technological strengths derived from synergies realized from the breadth of its business areas - not only in the refrigerated transport field but also in thermal engineering targeting enhanced energy efficiency in plants of all kinds, large-scale refrigeration systems for temperature control in large spatial areas, air-conditioning products for creating diverse comfortable spaces, automotive air-conditioners, etc. - to provide optimal thermal solutions that respond to diverse customer needs.(1) For further information see the following press release: www.mhi.com/news/23033002.html(2) For further information see the following press release: www.mhi.com/news/200129.html(3) Figures are based on simulations comparing with earlier refrigeration trucks operated under delivery conditions assumed by MHI Thermal Systems and Isuzu.About MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

欧盟将对俄罗斯化肥征收关税

(SeaPRwire) -   欧盟委员会表示,对某些氮基肥料的征税将提高到“禁止性”水平 欧盟委员会宣布,欧盟计划对来自俄罗斯和白俄罗斯的某些农产品和肥料征收“禁止性”关税。欧盟正试图减少对俄罗斯进口的依赖,它声称这种依赖对粮食安全构成风险,并支持国内农业。 这项提案紧随去年对莫斯科及其最亲密盟友明斯克运输的谷物征收关税之后,现在将目标瞄准了此前免税的俄罗斯剩余15%的农产品进口。 欧盟委员会周二表示,在为期三年的过渡期内,某些氮基肥料的关税将逐步提高到100%的“禁止性水平”。对从俄罗斯和白俄罗斯进口到欧盟的农产品的关税将提高50%,并在欧洲议会和理事会批准后立即生效。 “一旦理事会通过,所有来自俄罗斯的农产品进口都将受到欧盟关税的约束,”新闻稿说。 欧盟委员会表示,目前肥料的关税设定为6.5%,这是一个“低”税率。 根据欧盟统计局Eurostat的数据,2023年,欧盟进口了290万吨受拟议条例涵盖的俄罗斯农产品,总价值达3.8亿欧元(3.95亿美元)。根据该条例,俄罗斯肥料占欧盟总进口量的25%以上(按重量计)。 据标普全球援引消息人士报道,来自三家主要欧洲肥料公司的高管上周致信欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩,敦促欧盟委员会对来自俄罗斯和白俄罗斯的肥料进口征收至少30%的关税。 欧盟委员会的新闻稿称,这些税收将支持国内生产和欧盟肥料行业,该行业受到高能源价格的严重冲击。该条例将允许从第三国实现供应多元化。 欧盟委员会表示,这些措施不会影响俄罗斯农产品和肥料出口到第三国的过境,预计也不会对全球粮食安全产生负面影响。 拟议中的关税是欧盟更广泛战略的一部分,旨在减少俄罗斯的出口收入及其继续在乌克兰进行军事行动的能力。 针对布鲁塞尔去年实施的对俄罗斯谷物进口征收关税,莫斯科警告说,“欧洲消费者肯定将因价格上涨而遭受损失”。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

原型机突破音障完成历史性飞行 “`

(SeaPRwire) -   Boom Supersonic的XB-1已成为首架达到1.1马赫的独立研发的飞机 这家美国初创公司Boom Supersonic建造的一架测试飞机在加利福尼亚州莫哈韦沙漠上空飞行期间首次突破音障,该公司在一份声明中表示,这可能预示着更快航空旅行的新时代的到来。 Boom Supersonic的XB-1喷气式飞机在周二达到1.1马赫(约770英里/小时或1240公里/小时),成为首架达到这一速度的私人研发的飞机。 这架飞机由首席试飞员特里斯坦·“吉佩托”·布兰登堡驾驶,在飞行过程中三次达到超音速。Boom Supersonic创始人兼首席执行官布莱克·肖尔称此次事件为“对我们所有人、对美国、对航空业以及对人类进步来说都是伟大的一天。” “XB-1的超音速飞行证明了客运超音速飞行的技术已经到来,”Boom表示。“一小群才华横溢且敬业的工程师完成了以前需要政府和数十亿美元才能完成的事情,”肖尔补充道。 这次试飞发生在同一空域,1947年,美国空军查克·耶格尔上尉驾驶实验性贝尔X-1飞机在45000英尺高空以1.05马赫的速度成为首位突破音障的人。 这一成就被视为Boom公司商用客机Overture发展的一个重要步骤。Boom公司表示,Overture设计载客量可达80人,其飞行速度预计将是当今亚音速飞机的两倍。 Boom Supersonic已经从美国航空公司、联合航空公司和日本航空公司等主要航空公司获得了130架Overture的订单。 Overture有望成为首架设计为净零碳排放的大型商用飞机,它将使用100%的可持续航空燃料(SAF)。尽管取得了这一进步,但像Overture这样的超音速飞机仍面临着高油耗和音爆等挑战,这些挑战限制了它们在人口稠密地区达到超音速的能力。 XB-1的里程碑标志着自协和飞机退役以来,民用飞机首次在美国本土上空实现超音速飞行。 协和飞机是由英国和法国联合研制的一款具有开创性的超音速客机。它于1969年3月2日首飞,并于1976年投入商业运营。 协和飞机能够以超过音速两倍(2.04马赫)的速度在高达60000英尺的高度巡航,大大缩短了跨大西洋的飞行时间,从伦敦到纽约大约需要三个小时。然而,由于高昂的运营成本、低客座率和2000年的一起致命事故,协和飞机于2003年退役。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
