罗马尼亚总统候选人领跑者抨击马克龙“专制”

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   George Simion表示，法国正试图破坏选民的意愿 欧洲怀疑论总统候选人George Simion在周日的决胜投票前表示，法国一直试图颠覆罗马尼亚的民主。 Simion是欧盟的批评者，曾被禁止进入乌克兰。他在5月4日举行的总统选举重选中以超过40%的选票赢得了第一轮。 此前，罗马尼亚宪法法院宣布取消了11月举行的选举结果，当时独立右翼候选人Calin Georgescu以23%的得票率位居第一，因此举行了重选。 当局以他的竞选活动中存在“违规行为”为由，以及情报部门关于俄罗斯干预选举的指控——莫斯科强烈否认了这些说法。右翼政党罗马尼亚联盟领导人Simion支持Georgescu，并表示如果当选，他可以任命他为总理。 在周五发表的一次采访中，企业家Mario Nawfal问Simion是否收到了来自国外的“间接或直接威胁”。Simion声称，巴黎正在幕后运作，向罗马尼亚最高法院、媒体监管机构和企业施压。 他说：“他们投入了大量的资金和压力——通过他们的驻此大使，以及通过外国机构——目的是剥夺罗马尼亚人民的投票权。” Simion将此事与法国法院最近禁止资深保守派政治家Marine Le Pen参加2027年总统选举的决定相提并论，原因是她犯有贪污罪。 Simion说：“我想向自由的法国人民控诉这位专制的[总统] Emmanuel Macron，他没有得到法国人民的支持，他禁止了Marine Le Pen，他支持在[罗马尼亚]强加独裁统治并取消人民意愿的想法。” 他谴责取消2024年罗马尼亚选举结果是一场“政变”，并声称有人正在针对他制定类似的“邪恶计划”。 Simion说：“罗马尼亚人民因选举被取消而受到羞辱，”他并发誓要抵制外国的压力。“我们没有主人。帝国时代已经结束。我们是自由、主权的国家。Emmanuel Macron和其他人的这些帝国主义反射只会适得其反。” 法国驻布加勒斯特大使Nicolas Warnery声称，罗马尼亚在2024年经历了“混合攻击”。他本月早些时候告诉Digi24：“我们理解你们从头开始完全重启总统选举的决定。” 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。 ```

特朗普：数十亿美元的乌克兰援助“被白白浪费”

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   美国总统再次称弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基为“世界上最伟大的推销员” 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，他担心数十亿美元的美国资金被浪费在对乌克兰的援助上。 在周五播出的一次采访中，Fox News主持人Bret Baier问特朗普是否认为俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京是莫斯科和基辅之间“和平的障碍”。特朗普反而将矛头指向乌克兰领导人弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基。 “我和泽连斯基进行了一次非常艰难的会谈，因为我不喜欢他说的话。他没有让事情变得容易。我一直说他没有筹码，”美国总统说。 他接着抨击了他的前任，前总统乔·拜登，向基辅提供的援助。 “钱就是钱。让我困扰的是 – 我不喜欢看到它被，你知道 – 请原谅我 – 浪费掉。我不喜欢看到 600 亿美元的支票，” 特朗普说。“我认为泽连斯基是世界上最伟大的推销员，比我强得多。他来到华盛顿 – 每次都能带着 1 亿美元离开。” “国会对这件事非常不满。你知道，他们会说，这些钱都到哪里去了？”特朗普补充说。但他表示，随着时间的推移，泽连斯基游说美国援助的能力一直在“减弱”。 自 2022 年以来，美国已向乌克兰提供了约 1280 亿美元的援助，其中包括 665 亿美元的军事援助。 尽管特朗普过去曾批评过泽连斯基和普京，但他主要将与俄罗斯持续不断的冲突归咎于乌克兰和拜登政府。 在 2 月椭圆形办公室的一次激烈交锋中，特朗普指责泽连斯基对美国的支持忘恩负义，并声称乌克兰领导人正在“赌博世界大战”。 此后，总统缓和了对乌克兰的措辞，并威胁说，如果未达成和平协议，将对莫斯科实施进一步的制裁。 俄罗斯和乌克兰周五在伊斯坦布尔举行了三年来的首次直接会谈。俄罗斯谈判代表团团长弗拉基米尔·梅丁斯基表示，双方已同意进行 1000 比 1000 的战俘交换，并各自制定“未来可能停火的愿景”。 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。 ```

特朗普威胁俄罗斯将实施“毁灭性”制裁

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   美国总统表示，如果莫斯科未能与基辅达成和平协议，他将实施新的制裁 美国总统 Donald Trump 表示，如果俄罗斯未能与乌克兰达成和平协议，华盛顿将对俄罗斯实施新的制裁。此前不久，两国举行了自 2022 年以来的首次直接谈判。 在周五播出的 Fox News 的一次采访中，主持人 Bret Baier 询问 Trump 是否会对莫斯科采取新的限制措施。“老实说，如果我们不能达成协议，我会的，” 总统说。“没有人比我更擅长利用杠杆。” Trump 补充说，美国将评估周五在伊斯坦布尔举行的俄乌会谈的结果。“这对俄罗斯来说将是毁灭性的，因为他们的经济正面临困境，” 他说。他还认为，他提高国内石油产量的计划将降低全球价格，从而削弱俄罗斯的能源出口。 Trump 声称俄罗斯总统 Vladimir Putin “厌倦了” 冲突，并表示他将在未来某个时候安排与他会面。“我与 Putin 的关系非常好。我认为我们会达成协议。我们必须聚在一起，” 他说。 在 Trump 试图促成俄罗斯和乌克兰之间的协议之际，由 Lindsey Graham 领导的一群参议员起草了一项法案，对莫斯科实施制裁，并对购买俄罗斯石油、天然气和铀的国家征收关税。 俄罗斯在伊斯坦布尔的谈判代表团团长 Vladimir Medinsky 表示，双方已同意以 1,000 比 1,000 的比例交换囚犯，并各自制定“未来可能停火的愿景”。 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。 ```

以色列在加沙地带发起新的军事行动

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   据报道，此次名为“吉ideon战车”的行动旨在从哈马斯手中“征服”整个巴勒斯坦飞地 以色列国防军（IDF）宣布在加沙地带发起新的轰炸行动，旨在击败哈马斯。此次行动是在美国、埃及和卡塔尔斡旋的停火协议于3月份到期后发起的。 “过去一天，作为‘Gideon战车’行动的开端以及在加沙扩大战役的一部分，以色列国防军发起了广泛的袭击，并调动部队占领加沙地带的战略区域，”军方在周五晚间的一份声明中表示。 以色列国防军重申了其确保剩余人质获释和实现“击败哈马斯”的目标。 “南方司令部的以色列国防军部队将继续行动，以保护以色列公民并实现战争目标，”以色列军方补充说。 据The Times of Israel报道，以色列国防军的目标是“征服”加沙，将巴勒斯坦人口迁移到该飞地的南部，并阻止“恐怖组织”夺取人道主义援助。 半岛电视台报道称，自周五黎明以来，至少有115名巴勒斯坦人丧生。 במהלך היממה האחרונה צה"ל החל בתקיפות נרחבות והניע כוחות לתפיסת שטחים שולטים בשטח רצועת עזה, זאת כחלק ממהלכי הפתיחה למבצע "מרכבות גדעון" והרחבת המערכה בעזה, להשגת כל מטרות המלחמה בעזה, לרבות שחרור החטופים והכרעת החמאס.כוחות צה"ל בפיקוד הדרום ימשיכו לפעול בכדי להגן על אזרחי ישראל… — צבא ההגנה לישראל (@idfonline) 以色列和哈马斯之间的停火协议在双方未能就实施停战的第二阶段达成一致后，于3月份破裂。 在巴勒斯坦武装分子于2023年10月7日发动突然袭击，造成约1200人死亡，并导致200多名人质被劫持后，以色列向哈马斯宣战。自冲突开始以来，已有超过53,000名巴勒斯坦人丧生，人权组织指责以色列实施种族灭绝。 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。 ```

分析师称，针对国际刑事法院检察官的性行为不端指控时机“可疑”（视频）

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   Alessandro Bruno告诉RT，Karim Khan当时正在寻求对以色列领导人的逮捕令，此时对他的指控浮出水面 地缘政治分析家Alessandro Bruno在周五接受RT采访时表示，针对国际刑事法院(ICC)首席检察官Karim Khan的性侵指控的时机非常可疑。 他补充说，ICC的首席检察官当时正在处理一个备受瞩目的案件，该案件涉及对以色列领导人发出逮捕令，“这引起了很多问题”。 去年5月，Khan宣布他将申请对以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡和当时的国防部长Yoav Gallant，以及哈马斯领导层中的高级人物发出逮捕令，理由是他们在加沙冲突中犯下的战争罪。ICC于去年11月发布了逮捕令，大约在对Khan的指控出现的时候。 据多家媒体周五报道，援引ICC的消息称，首席检察官已暂时离职，等待外部调查的结果。 Khan否认有任何不当行为。 “在我看来，这些指控的时机非常可疑。非常可疑！” Bruno周五告诉RT。 “检察官当时正在处理一起关于巴勒斯坦 कथित种族灭绝以及对以色列总理的相关指控的重要案件，我认为我也对此持怀疑态度，”他补充说。 Bruno认为，鉴于Khan的核心作用，这些指控可能会影响ICC对该案件的工作。 “这些指控很可能会影响法院的判决，因为他是该案件的首席检察官，”他说。 这位分析师还指出，这起丑闻可能会进一步“破坏” ICC的信誉，尤其是在以色列和美国等非法院成员国中。 当被问及为什么ICC成员国波兰和匈牙利拒绝遵守法院对内塔尼亚胡的逮捕令时，Bruno回答说，该司法机构主要针对发展中国家的领导人。 “这是一个有争议的机构。它名义上由联合国管理，但有趣的是，它对发展中国家的独裁者有影响力，” Bruno说。 前菲律宾总统罗德里戈·杜特尔特于3月在马尼拉被ICC逮捕令逮捕，并被引渡到海牙，罪名是危害人类罪。法院之前绝大多数的引渡都涉及来自非洲国家的人。 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。 ```

美国将加速遣散变性士兵 – AP

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   据报道，华盛顿计划通过体检加快遣散美国军队中患有性别焦虑症的士兵 据美联社周四援引高级国防官员的话报道，白宫计划指示高级军事官员识别出变性人或患有性别焦虑症的人，并让他们接受体检，这一过程将导致他们从军队中被开除。 在此之前，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在1月20日就职后不久，便发起了一项将变性军人从美国军队中清除出去的广泛运动。特朗普的行政命令宣称，认为自己是变性人“与士兵对光荣、诚实和有纪律的生活方式的承诺相冲突”，并且会妨碍军事战备。 术语“性别焦虑症”指的是由于一个人的生理性别与“性别认同”不一致而导致的心理困扰。 据不愿透露姓名的官员向该通讯社透露，指挥官一旦发现患有性别焦虑症的士兵——无论是现在的、过去的还是有症状的——都必须启动对其医疗记录的单独审查。 此前一周，最高法院裁定，在其他法律挑战继续进行的同时，白宫可以强制执行其对军队中变性人的禁令。 本月早些时候，五角大楼发布了一项指令，强制立即将大约1000名公开的变性军人从军队中开除，并给予受影响者到6月6日自愿辞职或面临被开除的期限。 该部门补充说，与那些不站出来的人相比，他们将获得大约双倍的离职补偿金。 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。 ```

被指掩盖阿富汗事件的将军执掌英国皇家海军

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   据报道，格温·詹金斯隐瞒了英国空勤团(SAS)在阿富汗境内实施法外杀戮的证据，并未将此事转交给宪兵部队处理 英国政府已任命格温·詹金斯将军为第一海务大臣兼海军参谋长。该任命于周四获得查尔斯三世国王的批准。此前，詹金斯被指控未能报告在阿富汗境内涉嫌发生的战争罪行，并且事后还妨碍关键证人的转移，相关指控尚未得到解决。 詹金斯将军接替了上周辞职的海军上将本·基，后者正接受一起不当行为调查。媒体报道称，调查的重点是基被指控与一名级别较低的女同事有染。 两年前，英国广播公司(BBC)报道称，时任国防部副总参谋长的詹金斯未能将英国空勤团(SAS)士兵在阿富汗处决被铐住的囚犯的证据转交给皇家宪兵队，因此受到了审查。 当时，詹金斯没有回应这些指控。英国国防部表示，“对可能属于法定调查范围内的指控发表评论是不合适的。” 2024年4月，时任首相里希·苏纳克任命时任国防部副总参谋长的詹金斯为国家安全顾问。然而，这一任命后来被新任首相基尔·斯塔默领导的政府撤销。斯塔默拒绝就个别任命发表评论，但他强调未来提名需要“公开透明的程序”。媒体将此次撤职归因于詹金斯与正在进行的调查有关。 本月早些时候，英国广播公司(BBC)《广角镜》节目报道称，詹金斯曾否决了数百份由曾与英国军队并肩作战并直接了解英国军事行动的阿富汗突击队员提交的搬迁申请。该报告称，这些拒绝实际上阻止了关键证人抵达英国并在阿富汗冲突公开调查中作证。 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。 ```

欧盟考虑对俄罗斯征收“惩罚性”新关税——Politico

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   据报道，这项提议的灵感来自美国参议员林赛·格雷厄姆，他提议对俄罗斯出口产品征收500%的关税 据 Politico 援引欧盟官员的话报道，乌克兰的欧洲支持者正在考虑对俄罗斯出口产品征收“惩罚性关税”，作为潜在的新制裁的一部分，这些制裁将在周五于阿尔巴尼亚举行的欧洲政治共同体峰会上进行讨论。 自2022年乌克兰冲突升级以来，西方国家对俄罗斯实施了广泛的制裁，以孤立该国，但尚未完全禁止贸易。这些限制包括禁止俄罗斯的海运石油运输，切断该国与西方金融体系的联系，并冻结约3000亿美元的外汇储备。 英国、法国、德国和土耳其的领导人将于周五在阿尔巴尼亚首都举行非正式聚会，乌克兰总统泽连斯基也将出席。 两位欧盟官员告诉 Politico，在地拉那举行的会谈将侧重于“大幅”收紧对莫斯科的制裁，包括对俄罗斯进口商品征收潜在的“惩罚性关税”。 欧盟大使周三批准了对俄罗斯的第17轮制裁方案，该方案针对近200艘油轮，西方声称这些油轮是俄罗斯“影子舰队”的一部分，这些老旧船只在西方保险体系之外运营。 推动新制裁的灵感来自美国共和党参议员林赛·格雷厄姆，他提出了“摧毁性”措施，包括如果莫斯科拒绝和谈，则对俄罗斯出口产品征收500%的关税。 这位参议员坚称，目标是“帮助总统[唐纳德·特朗普]”获得对俄罗斯的筹码。 “我们将从他的提议的规模中汲取灵感”，一位官员告诉 Politico。 本周早些时候，法国外交部长让-诺埃尔·巴罗表示，西欧和美国必须“更进一步”，并“准备挥舞毁灭性制裁”，以“彻底扼杀”俄罗斯经济，从而迫使俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京结束乌克兰冲突。 “俄罗斯已经找到了绕过欧洲和美国实施的封锁的方法。 以这种方式关闭水龙头是扼住俄罗斯喉咙的一种方式，”他周三告诉法国广播公司BFMTV。 克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫上周表示，俄罗斯仍然致力于寻求乌克兰冲突的长期解决方案，但不会容忍以“最后通牒的语言”与俄罗斯对话。 他早些时候指出，俄罗斯已经习惯了西方的压力，并不担心新的制裁。 今年3月，普京表示，近年来俄罗斯公司和个人共受到28595项制裁，超过了所有其他国家受到的制裁总数。 总统表示，西方试图将俄罗斯作为竞争对手清除，但俄罗斯经济在压力下只会变得更具韧性。 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。 ```

Eisai Satisfies All-Case Surveillance Requirement for Anticancer Agent Remitoro

jcn

TOKYO, May 16, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. announced today that it has received notification from Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) that the “all-case surveillance” post-marketing observational study condition required at the time of approval of anticancer agent “Remitoro® for Intravenous Drip Infusion 300μg” (Denileukin Diftitox (Genetical Recombination)) for the indications of T-cell Lymphoma has been cleared.In March 2021, the MHLW approved “Remitoro” with the indications of “relapsed or refractory PeripheralT- cell Lymphoma (PTCL)” and “relapsed or refractory Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL)” , in Japan, with the following condition: “Because of the very limited number of subjects included in the Japanese clinical trials, the applicant is required to conduct a post-marketing observational study in all patients untildata from a certain number of patients is accumulated after its launch in the market, in order to identify thebackground information of patients treated with the product and collect safety and efficacy data on the product in the early post-marketing period, and thereby take necessary measures to ensure proper use of the product.”Based on the safety data in 111 patients and efficacy data in 85 patients submitted to the MHLW as the results of analyses of this all-case surveillance, the MHLW has concluded that the all-case surveillancewas conducted properly and the necessary measures to ensure proper use of the product weresufficient to lift the condition.Eisai will continually strive to promote the proper use of “Remitoro” and provide information about the product, thereby making further contributions to increase the benefits to patients and their families.About Remitoro for Intravenous Drip Infusion 300μg (Denileukin Diftitox (Genetical Recombination))This agent is a fusion protein consisting of interleukin-2 (IL-2) and partial sequence of diphtheria toxin. The antitumor effect of denileukin diftitox is believed to depend on specific binding to the IL-2 receptor on the surface of tumoral lymphocytes followed by intracellular delivery and release of diphtheria toxin fragment which inhibits proteinsynthesis and induce cell death.Eisai retains exclusive development and marketing rights for the agent in Japan and Asia.About Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma (PTCL)PTCL is a type of T-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that is classified as an intermediate-grade lymphoma. PTCL isoften detected in advanced stages, and has symptoms such as swelling and lumps in the lymph nodes, fever, heavy night sweats, and weight loss. Among PTCLs, Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK)-positive anaplastic largecell lymphoma, which occurs in the 20s and 30s, has a favorable prognosis and is curable. However, other types ofPTCL often occur around the age of 60, and may have a poor prognosis or be difficult to treat. Therefore, PTCL is still a disease with extremely high-unmet medical need. It is estimated that the number of patients with PTCL in Japan is less than 7,000.1About Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma (CTCL)CTCL is a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of primary cutaneous disease with various other manifestations in additional sites like lymph nodes and peripheral blood. In CTCL, some of the T cells (a type of lymphocyte involvedin the immune system) become cancerous, causing skin lesions and reducing the patient's QOL (Quality of Life) due to pain and pruritus. CTCL is generally a low-grade lymphoma, with initial patch and plaque skin lesions, but itprogresses slowly and advances to the tumor stage over several years to over a dozen years. CTCL is still a diseasewith extremely high unmet medical need because it has a high malignancy when it reaches the tumor stage and hasa poor prognosis. It is estimated that the number of patients with CTCL in Japan is less than 4,000.1About the results of “all-case surveillance” post-marketing observational studyThe specified post-marketing observational study is conducted for the purpose of collecting and confirming sideeffect incidence by symptom, quality, efficacy and safety information in pediatric, geriatric, pregnant patients, patients with renal dysfunction, hepatic dysfunction, patients who use the drug for a long time or those patients withany limitations or conditions in drug use.This study on Remitoro was conducted by central registration method to investigate the safety and efficacy of theagent, as well as factors that may affect them, in actual drug use under the approved conditions. The registered patients started administration of the drug for treatment within the period from May 2021 through September 2022 in86 medical facilities located in Japan. In the 111-safety analytical set, the common adverse drug reactions (ADRs)(incidence 10% or higher) were aspartate aminotransferase increased (22.5%), capillary leak syndrome (21.6%), alanine aminotransferase increased (21.6%), platelet count decreased (15.3%), hepatic function abnormal (14.4%)and pyrexia (13.5%).With respect to efficacy, the overall response rate in the 85 evaluable cases (70 cases in PTCL and 15 cases inCTCL) was 15.7% in PTCL, 20.0% in CTCL, and 16.5% in overall.(1) Vital Statistics/Patient Survey in 2023 (Health Statistics Office, Director-General for Statistics, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Japan.)

前FBI局长科米因“呼吁刺杀特朗普”而受调查——DHS部长

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   总统的批评者被指控发出呼吁暴力的暗号 国土安全部部长Kristi Noem表示，特勤局正在调查前FBI局长James Comey，因为他涉嫌威胁总统Donald Trump。 Trump的长期批评者Comey否认了他现在已删除的神秘Instagram帖子是呼吁暗杀。 周四，Comey发布了一张贝壳的图片，这些贝壳组成了数字“8647”。他用“在我的海滩散步中发现的酷贝壳形状”作为图片标题。 Trump政府官员和共和党政客迅速将这张图片解读为对第47任总统的威胁。 几家媒体引用了Merriam-Webster词典，该词典称“86”有一种俚语含义，即“扔掉”、“摆脱”或“杀死”。 根据Newsweek的说法，“86”是黑手党的术语，指将某人“带到城镇外八英里”并将其“埋在地下六英尺”。 Noem在X上写道：“名誉扫地的FBI前局长James Comey刚刚呼吁暗杀Trump。” 她补充说，国土安全部和特勤局正在“调查这一威胁，并将作出适当的回应。” Fox News Digital援引特勤局消息人士的话说，他们将派遣特工调查并采访这位前FBI局长。 FBI局长Kash Patel表示，该局将“为特勤局提供一切必要支持”，以调查他所说的Comey发布的“针对President Trump”的帖子。 白宫副幕僚长Taylor Budowich辩称，Comey的帖子“显然可以被解释为‘对在任美国总统的袭击’。” 总统的儿子Donald Trump Jr.声称Comey“随意地呼吁谋杀我的父亲。” Comey此后删除了这张图片。“我早些时候发布了一张今天在海滩散步时看到的一些贝壳的图片，我以为这是一个政治信息，” 他在Instagram上写道。“我没有意识到有些人将这些数字与暴力联系起来。 我从来没有想到，但我反对任何形式的暴力，所以我删除了帖子。” Trump在他的第一个任期内解雇了Comey。 他指责这位前FBI局长散布关于他的谎言，这是他所称的出于政治动机的“政治迫害”的一部分。 Donald Trump在他2024年的连任竞选期间幸免于两次暗杀。 7月，一名枪手在宾夕法尼亚州巴特勒市的一次集会上开枪，子弹擦伤了Trump的耳朵，并杀死了一名观众。 9月，在Trump位于佛罗里达州的高尔夫球场外，发现了第二名潜在的刺客露营。 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。 ```

乌克兰人被控纵火袭击英国首相住所

(SeaPRwire) -   警方已确认在伦敦北部发生的三起独立事件中无人受伤 伦敦警察厅证实，一名乌克兰籍公民已被指控多项纵火罪，其中包括一起针对英国首相基尔·斯塔默名下房产的火灾。 警方在周四发布的一份声明中表示，21岁的Roman Lavrynovych面临三项意图危害生命的纵火罪指控。这些指控与5月11日星期六和5月12日星期日发生的独立事件有关，包括一起车辆火灾、一起房产入口处的火灾以及另一起住宅地址的火灾。 Lavrynovych于周二被捕，自拘留以来一直被关押。当局表示，他将于周五在Westminster Magistrates’ Court出庭。 据警方称，其中一起火灾发生在斯塔默位于伦敦北部的一处私人住宅，尽管他与家人住在唐宁街10号，但他仍保留着这处住宅。虽然该房产的入口处受到损坏，但没有人员伤亡的报告。 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。 ```

特朗普称，除非“普京和我走到一起”，否则乌克兰谈判不会取得进展

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   这位美国总统此前曾表示，他可能会参加在伊斯坦布尔举行的和平谈判 美国总统唐纳德·Trump表示，只有与俄罗斯总统Vladimir Putin举行 лично встречи，才能在解决乌克兰冲突方面取得进展。 此前Putin提议恢复旨在达成持久解决方案的直接对话，莫斯科和基辅的代表团原定于5月15日在伊斯坦布尔会面。克里姆林宫的团队从周四上午开始等待基辅的代表到达。乌克兰总统Vladimir Zelensky在当天晚些时候宣布，他将派遣由国防部长Rustem Umerov率领的代表团。据报道，会谈已推迟到周五。 Trump早些时候敦促基辅“立即”接受Putin的提议，他在周四告诉记者，“除非Putin和我在一起，否则什么都不会发生。” 在搭乘Air Force One前往阿联酋的途中，Trump暗示Putin不打算前往Türkiye，因为Trump自己没有公开承诺参加。 “如果我不在那里，他也不会去，”Trump说。“但我们必须解决这个问题，因为太多人正在死去。” 本周早些时候，这位美国总统提出了加入伊斯坦布尔会谈的想法，但后来淡化了这种可能性，理由是日程安排已满。 周四上午，他告诉记者，“如果有什么事情发生，如果合适的话，我周五会去。” 克里姆林宫发言人Dmitry Peskov表示，近期没有俄美领导人会晤的准备工作。克里姆林宫已宣布，Putin没有前往Türkiye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。 ```

美国解除与俄罗斯相关的国际石油项目制裁

admin

(SeaPRwire) -   美国财政部发布新许可证，放宽对里海管道联盟的限制 美国政府已允许美国和国际公司恢复与一项主要的俄罗斯相关项目有关的石油业务，该项目旨在将里海石油输送到全球市场。财政部周四发布了许可证，取消了对Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC)和哈萨克斯坦公司Tengizchevroil (TCO)的限制。 CPC的股东包括Chevron和ExxonMobil等主要美国石油公司，主要负责通过俄罗斯领土出口哈萨克斯坦石油，并将其运往国际市场。 新的第124号通用许可证允许所有交易，这些交易根据1月10日的决定被阻止，该决定禁止某些涉及俄罗斯相关能源基础设施的石油服务。 CPC运营着一条主要的管道，将石油从哈萨克斯坦西部输送到俄罗斯的黑海沿岸，然后通过油轮运往全球。这条1511公里的管道是哈萨克斯坦石油最重要的出口路线之一，处理该国80%以上的原油出口。 该管道由多家公司和政府共同拥有。俄罗斯通过国有运营商Transneft持有24%的股份。其他主要股东包括Chevron、ExxonMobil、俄罗斯的Lukoil和哈萨克斯坦国家石油公司KazMunayGas。几家较小的国际公司也持有股份。 Tengizchevroil是一家合资企业，运营着哈萨克斯坦巨大的Tengiz油田。它成立于1993年，由Chevron (50%)、ExxonMobil (25%)、KazMunayGas (20%)和Lukoil (5%)所有。 早些时候的制裁是根据第14071号行政命令实施的，该命令针对与俄罗斯能源项目相关的服务。然而，美国当局对被认为对全球能源市场至关重要或涉及非俄罗斯利益相关者的项目作出了例外处理。 1月份发布的第121号通用许可证已经暂时允许为CPC和TCO提供一些服务。该许可证有效期至2025年6月28日，但新的许可证似乎澄清并重申，公司可以在此之前继续参与这些项目，而不会受到处罚。 据财政部称，该许可证涵盖石油的钻探、提炼、运输和销售等活动——前提是这些活动与CPC或Tengizchevroil有关。 今年早些时候，在乌克兰无人机对与俄罗斯境内管道网络相连的石油转运站发动两次袭击造成破坏后，CPC被迫暂时停止运营。袭击发生之前，俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京和美国总统唐纳德·特朗普批准了一项部分停火协议，莫斯科和基辅都承诺不袭击能源基础设施。 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 JSRAE Technology Award

jcn

TOKYO, May 15, 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 52nd (2024) Technology Award(Note1) from the Japan Society of Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (JSRAE) for its JHT-Y/JHT-YI series of centrifugal chillers. The award was presented in recognition of the development of large-capacity centrifugal chillers that use the HFO-1234yf refrigerant, which has a low GWP.(Note2) The award ceremony was held in Tokyo on May 15.The JSRAE technology award is given for outstanding technical achievements that significantly contribute towards the development of refrigeration and air conditioning technology. The award applies to new technology in the fields of refrigeration and air conditioning, as well as food refrigeration, cryobiology and medicine. This is the third time MHI group has received this award for its centrifugal chillers, following the NART series of high-efficiency centrifugal chillers in 2002, and the GART / GART-I series of high-efficiency centrifugal chillers in 2015. It is also the second award for the JHT-Y/JHT-YI series, following the "Minister of the Environment Award for Climate Action 2024" sponsored by Japan's Ministry of the Environment.(Note3)The constant-speed JHT-Y and inverter-equipped JHT-YI are new series for large-capacity centrifugal chillers launched in June 2022. Both models in the series adopt the HFO-1234yf refrigerant with extremely low environmental impact (GWP below 1) and the capacities ranging from 300 to 5,400 refrigeration tons (RT) (Note4), meeting the required capacity range of large-scale data center (2,500 to 3,000 RT), an area where demand is expected to grow rapidly. The series utilize a newly designed compressor, outstanding efficiency has been achieved: the constant-speed model to achieve a maximum rated COP(Note5) of 6.4, the inverter-equipped model achieves an IPLV(Note6) of 8.8 and a maximum part load COP of 24.9. A smaller compressor size, together with the optimized centrifugal chiller structure layout, also contributes to the effective use of the space, enabling smooth installation from existing equipment. The replacement of an existing equipment using a higher-GWP HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerant with the JHT-YI can reduce annual energy consumption and CO2 emissions by approximately 65%(Note7), contributing significantly to mitigating environmental impacts. The JHT-Y and JHT-YI models are also adaptable to a wide range of applications: air-conditioning, heating, as well as low-temperature and heating processes in beverage plants, etc.The HFO-1234yf refrigerant, which is also used in car air-conditioners and vending machines, has a GWP of below 1 and ODP(Note8) of zero, and is categorized as non-Freon refrigerant according to Japan's Revised Fluorocarbons Recovery and Destruction Law(Note9). For these reasons, it is not subject to this Law that regulates the Fluorocarbons' emissions into the atmosphere, recovery, and destruction after usage. Concerning an equipment with higher-GWP HFC refrigerant including HFC-134a, which was widely used before the revised legislation took effect, it has been made compulsory to reduce in both their production and usage volumes as it has a significant impact on global warming. In 2025 and onward, it is scheduled that the regulations on the supply of equipment with higher-GWP refrigerants to the market will be tightened further in the Japanese market, therefore, currently the demands for the equipment with low-GWP refrigerants, ex. the JHT-Y/JHT-YI series, are increasing and earlier upgrading is required in the market.MHI Thermal Systems is Japan's leading manufacturer of centrifugal chillers, having delivered numerous units for district cooling/heating, factory air-conditioning, etc. Going forward, the Company will continue to focus on developing high-performance products using low-GWP refrigerants covering - together with the small and medium-capacity ETI-Z series - a capacity span of 150 to 5,400 RT, as its way of contributing to environmental protection on a global scale.(1) This prize was known as the "JAR Award" from the 1st award (1973) to the 7th (1979), and since the 8th award (1980) has been divided into academic awards and technical awards.(2) GWP: global warming potential. CO2 is assigned a GWP of 1. The lower the GWP factor, the less impact on the environment.(3) For further information, refer to the following press release: https://www.mhi.com/news/241203.html(4) One ton of refrigeration is approximately 3.516 kW. Capacity above 2,700 RT requires two compressors (parallel type).(5) COP: coefficient of performance as calculated based on Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS). The higher the COP, the higher the level of energy savings.(6) IPLV: integrated part load value, an indicator of the efficiency of an air-conditioner during part load operation. The higher the IPLV, the higher the level of energy savings.(7) Compared with our previous model (20 years ago)(8) ODP: ozone depletion potential, a coefficient expressing the relative amount of degradation to the ozone layer compared to trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11), a refrigerant previously in wide use which has a fixed ODP of 1.0. The lower the ODP, the lower the destructive impact on the ozone layer.(9) This revised law, which took effect on April 1, 2015, stipulates rules for the rational use and proper management of fluorocarbons.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.

Spiritual Business Guide ‘Zen and Stilettos’ Sells 100,000 Copies, Enters Publisher’s Top-10

seaprwire

BALI, Indonesia – May 15, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) – Elizaveta Babanova’s debut book, “Zen and Stilettos,” has sold approximately 100,000 copies since its release, securing a spot in her publisher’s top-10 bestsellers list in its first year. Market analysts report that the book, which combines spiritual practices with practical business advice, has resonated with readers seeking to balance material success with personal development, particularly among professional women aged 30-45. “When I achieved what once felt impossible—discovering my purpose—I forged a path forward,” Babanova said in a recent interview. “At its core is my mission: to help others rediscover their soul’s intention, reconnect deeply with their essence, and live a multifaceted, fulfilling life.” Industry experts attribute the book’s commercial success to its practical approach to spirituality in an increasingly complex business environment. Nielsen BookScan data indicates a 23% growth in the personal development category over the past year, with spiritual business guides showing particular strength. “I spent years searching for meaning,” said Babanova, who holds a background in finance before transitioning to writing and entrepreneurship. “It’s striking how much of the external world seems designed to disconnect us from our true selves.” According to published reports, Babanova’s second book, “The Best Year of My Life,” has also achieved bestseller status. Both titles have maintained strong sales momentum through traditional retail and e-commerce platforms. The author has leveraged her literary success to develop additional creative ventures, including the “Path of the Soul” music series, featuring music composed by Elizaveta and performed by Tchaikovsky and Gnesin Conservatories graduates. The concerts have been staged in Bali and the United Arab Emirates. This spring, “Path of the Soul” concerts will be performed in Damanhur, Italy and Moscow, Russia. “Through books, music, broadcasts, and writing, I share my inner state,” Babanova explained. “Those who resonate with it form a natural, deep connection. There’s no greater joy than helping others unlock their divine potential—it fulfils my own purpose.” Market analysts note that Babanova’s success represents a growing trend of merging traditional business principles with holistic approaches to personal development. Her ability to translate spiritual concepts into commercially viable products has positioned her as a notable figure. In addition to her writing and music, Babanova operates Mystic Travel, which organises retreats to locations she describes as sacred “places of power.” “For most of my adult life I have been called to places on Earth that hold sacred codes,” Babanova said of the travel venture. “They’re like haute cuisine: you can follow a Michelin-starred chef’s recipe, but it’s never the same as tasting their dish in their kitchen. Similarly, documentaries and books can’t rival the visceral transformation of being in these spaces. Their energy expands and reshapes you,” said the world traveler, who has spent time in over 45 countries. The diversified business model has proven effective, with revenue streams from book sales, concert tickets, retreat packages, and merchandise contributing to overall growth. Industry analysts project continued expansion as Babanova’s brand gains international recognition. According to publisher announcements, her forthcoming book, “Dance in Abundance,” will be released in 2025 and will deeply explore universal codes of abundance, including ancient initiation traditions and their modern applications. An English-language edition is being prepared for international distribution. “I have deeply immersed myself in the study of the ancient practice of initiation,” Babanova said regarding her upcoming work. “During one of my own, I received an insight about crafting a line of sacred artefacts. In ancient times, every significant initiation was marked by a special object—a symbol of transformation that amplified a person’s desired qualities.” That insight led to developing a pearl jewellery brand that combines natural elements with spiritual symbolism, adding another dimension to her business portfolio. According to social media analytics firm Socialblade, the author maintains active social media channels with over 500,000 combined followers across platforms, where she shares content related to personal growth and business development. “Creative expression became my way of sharing profound inner states,” Babanova said. “Books, albums, and concerts flowed naturally from what I felt. Words alone couldn’t capture the depth of those emotions, so I turned to music and performance to convey unconditional love and the joy of existence.” Market research firm BookScan reports that the success of “Zen and Stilettos” has helped drive a 15% increase in the spiritual business advice subcategory over the past fiscal year. The book has been particularly successful in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Yekaterinburg, with growing interest in international markets. Literary critics have noted the book’s accessibility despite addressing complex philosophical concepts. The Russian Publishers Association recognised the work in its annual report as an example of effectively bridging practical business advice with personal development principles. “Every project starts as a personal need—to experience and express life as something magnificent and eternal. Then it finds its audience, resonating with those meant to connect with it,” Babanova explained her creative process. According to development partners, the author plans to launch a mobile application called “World of Abundance” later this year. The application will feature daily practices and support resources for her tribe. Babanova’s rise in the publishing industry follows a broader trend of increasing consumer interest in integrated approaches to business success and personal fulfilment. Global market research firm Ipsos reports that 67% of professionals consider spiritual well-being important to their career development.

佛罗里达州西棕榈滩, 2025年5月15日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - U.S. Polo Assn.是美国马球协会（USPA）的官方品牌，现自豪地宣布，与品牌合作伙伴 Incom S.p.a. 和 Sur Pacifico S.A. 一起进入阿根廷市场。这一举措进一步提升了这个数十亿美元品牌的全球影响力，并将 U.S. Polo Assn. 的版图扩展到了另一个新兴且令人兴奋的市场。该全球运动品牌在阿根廷的布局将聚焦于一片历史悠久的土地，在那里马球运动不仅广受欢迎，而且深深植根于当地文化之中。U.S. Polo Assn. 将于 2025 年 6 月推出男装系列，涵盖经典款式，如马球衫、梭织衬衫、T 恤、长裤、牛仔裤、针织衫和夹克等。“与 Incom S.p.a. 和 Sur Pacifico S.A. 合作，将 U.S. Polo Assn. 品牌首次带入阿根廷——这个拥有深厚马球传统和优秀消费者的国家——是一个重要的里程碑，”管理并监督 U.S. Polo Assn. 全球品牌运营的 USPA Global 总裁兼首席执行官 J. Michael Prince 表示。“这一机会有望使 U.S. Polo Assn. 成为整个市场上最具影响力的运动风格品牌之一。Sur Pacifico S.A. 是一家成立于 1985 年的阿根廷公司，凭借扎实的商业和品牌背景，在纺织服装市场中站稳了脚跟。公司最初专注于男装和童装，近年来也拓展到了女装领域。自 1992 年以来，Sur Pacifico S.A. 一直是 Mistral 品牌的独家授权商。Mistral 是一个起源于荷兰、最初专注于水上运动（特别是冲浪）的品牌。该公司还经营两个国际品牌：Brooksfield 和 Royal Enfield Apparel。“Incom 很高兴在阿根廷找到像 Sur Pacifico S.A. 这样战略性的合作伙伴，他们与我们的价值观一致，使我们能够将 U.S. Polo Assn. 品牌带入一个与马球运动有着深厚历史渊源的市场，”Incom 首席执行官 Lorenzo Nencini 表示。“这一独特的合作将帮助我们接触到新的、充满热情的消费者，并进一步加强 U.S. Polo Assn. 在体育领域的真实联结，完美融合品牌的传承与阿根廷在这一运动中的卓越表现。”关于 INCOM S.P.A.
