USDA Report Challenges Trump’s Claims on China’s Soybean Purchase Commitments

OMAHA, Neb. – Recently unveiled data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture is casting doubt on China’s commitment to purchasing substantial amounts of American soybeans, a promise highly publicized by the Trump administration following a pivotal meeting between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The USDA’s report, released post-government shutdown, indicates only two confirmed Chinese purchases of U.S. soybeans since the summit in South Korea, amounting to 332,000 metric tons. This figure falls significantly short of the 12 million metric tons that Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins claimed China had pledged to buy by January. Furthermore, it pales in comparison to the 25 million metric tons anticipated annually over the next three years. U.S. farmers, who have long relied on China as their top customer, were hopeful for renewed trade. However, Tanner Ehmke, CoBank’s chief economist for grains and oilseeds, notes that China currently has little motivation to purchase American soybeans. This is due to their ample supply sourced from Brazil and other South American nations this year, coupled with ongoing tariffs that make U.S. soybeans pricier than their Brazilian counterparts. “We remain far from meeting the expectations set by the U.S. regarding the agreement’s potential,” Ehmke remarked. While Beijing has not confirmed any specific soybean purchase agreement, they have acknowledged reaching a “consensus” on enhancing trade in agricultural products. Ehmke suggests that even if China did agree to buy American soybeans, it might have been conditional on favorable pricing. The White House has yet to comment on the apparent shortfall in Chinese purchases or clarify whether U.S. farmers can still anticipate an assistance package. The Chinese tariff on American beans remains high at about 24%, despite a 10-percentage-point reduction following the summit. Soybean prices fell sharply by 23 cents to $11.24 per bushel Friday. Ehmke said “that’s the market being shocked by the lack of Chinese demand that was confirmed in USDA data today.” Prices are still higher than they were before the agreement when they were selling for $10.60 per bushel, but the price may continue to drop unless there are significant new purchases. Before the trade agreement, Trump had promised to offer farmers a significant aid package to help them survive the trade war with China. That was put on hold during the shutdown, and now it’s not clear whether the administration will offer farmers aid like Trump did in his first administration. American farmers have been through this before after Trump’s first trade war with China. The trade agreement China signed with the United States in 2020 promised massive purchases of U.S. crops. But the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted trade between the two nations just as the agreement went into effect. In 2022, U.S. farm exports to China hit a record, but then fell. Soybean prices are actually still a little higher than they were a year ago even without China’s normal purchases of roughly one-quarter of the U.S. crop. That’s because this year’s soybean crop is a little smaller while domestic demand remained strong with the continued growth in biodiesel production. But farmers are dealing with the soaring cost of fertilizer, seed, equipment and labor this year, and that is hurting their profits. The Kentucky farmer who is president of the American Soybean Association, Caleb Ragland, has said he worries that thousands of farmers could go out of business this year without significant Chinese purchases or government aid. China is the world’s largest buyer of soybeans. China bought more than $12.5 billion worth of the nearly $24.5 billion worth of U.S. soybeans that were exported last year. But China quit buying American soybeans this year after Trump imposed his tariffs and continued to shift more of their purchases over to South America. Even before the trade war, Brazilian beans accounted for more than 70% of China’s imports last year, while the U.S. share fell to 21%, World Bank data shows.

Ethiopia confirms first outbreak of Marburg virus  - Trinidad Tribune – Latest Trinidad And Tobago News

Ethiopia has confirmed its first outbreak of Marburg virus disease, after nine cases were reported in the south of the country. World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on Friday commended the Ethiopian Health Ministry and other health agencies for their “rapid and transparent response to the outbreak”. “This fast action demonstrates the seriousness of the country’s commitment to bringing the outbreak under control quickly,” Tedros wrote in a social media post. The confirmation comes a day after the WHO said Ethiopian health authorities were investigating after “suspected cases of viral hemorrhagic fever” were reported. Marburg is from the same family as Ebola, namely the Filoviridae family (filovirus) of viruses. It has been described as more severe than Ebola. The United States-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) describes it as a “rare but severe” hemorrhagic fever that can be deadly. Originating in Egyptian fruit bats, it can spread between people when someone comes into contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person, or objects contaminated with their fluids, such as clothing or bedsheets. Symptoms include fever, rash and severe bleeding, and there is no treatment or vaccine for Marburg, according to the CDC. Instead, it says that “treatment is limited to supportive care”, including rest and hydration. The outbreak in Ethiopia was reported in the country’s southern region of Omo, which borders South Sudan. Africa CDC Director-General Jean Kaseya said on Thursday that the outbreak was a concern because “South Sudan isn’t far and has a fragile health system”. No other African country has reported Marburg virus cases in recent weeks. Tedros, the WHO chief, said on Friday that the UN agency was “actively supporting Ethiopia to contain the outbreak and treat infected people, and supporting all efforts to address the potential of cross-border spread”. The Ethiopian Ministry of Health also said that community-wide screenings were being conducted in relation to the outbreak, alongside efforts to raise awareness. Infected people have been isolated and are being treated, it said in a statement shared on social media, while work to identify anyone who may have come into contact with suspected cases was also under way. The ministry urged people not to panic, to follow instructions from the health authorities, and to seek medical care if they exhibit any signs of the disease.

Displaced Palestinian families suffer as heavy rains flood Gaza tent camps  - Trinidad Tribune – Latest

Displaced Palestinians are reeling after heavy rains flooded their tents in makeshift displacement camps in Gaza City, as the United Nations warns that Israeli restrictions on aid have left hundreds of thousands of families without adequate shelter. Abdulrahman Asaliyah, a displaced Palestinian man, told Al Jazeera on Friday that residents’ mattresses, clothes and other belongings were soaked in the flooding. “We are calling for help, for new tents that can at least protect people from the winter cold,” he said, explaining that nearly two dozen people had been working for hours to get the water to drain from the area. “This winter rain is a blessing from God, but there are families who no longer wish for it to fall, fearing for the lives of their children and their own survival,” Asaliyah said. Gaza’s civil defence agency said Friday’s flooding primarily affected Palestinians in the north of the Strip, where hundreds of thousands of people have returned following last month’s ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. Flooding was also reported in central Gaza’s Deir el-Balah, said the rescue agency, which urged the international community to do more to “address the suffering” of Palestinians whose homes were destroyed in Israel’s two-year war on the enclave. “We urge the swift delivery of homes, caravans, and tents to these displaced families to help alleviate their suffering, especially as we are at the beginning of winter,” it said in a statement. While the October 10 ceasefire has allowed more aid to get into the Gaza Strip, the UN and other humanitarian groups say Palestinians still lack adequate food, medicine and other critical supplies, including shelter. Aid groups working to provide shelter assistance in the occupied Palestinian territory said in early November that about 260,000 Palestinian families, totalling almost 1.5 million people, were vulnerable as the cold winter months approached. The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said this week that it has enough shelter supplies to help as many as 1.3 million Palestinians. But UNRWA said Israel continues to block its efforts to bring aid into Gaza despite the ceasefire deal, which stipulated that humanitarian assistance must be delivered to Palestinians in need. “We have a very short chance to protect families from the winter rains and cold,” Angelita Caredda, Middle East and North Africa director at the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), said in a statement on November 5. Reporting from Deir el-Balah on Friday, Al Jazeera’s Hind Khoudary said Palestinians across Gaza have been voicing fears that this winter would be particularly difficult due to the lack of safe shelter. “It only rained for a couple of minutes – 30 minutes or so … [and] they were completely flooded,” she said. “Their tents are very fragile and worn-out; they have been using them for the past two years.” She added that most Palestinians do not have any other options but to remain in tent camps or overcrowded shelters, despite the difficulties. “We’re already seeing Palestinian children walking barefoot. They do not have winter clothes. They do not have blankets. And at the same time, the aid that is coming in … is being restricted,” Khoudary said. Back in Gaza City, another displaced Palestinian man affected by the heavy rains, Abu Ghassan, said he and his family “no longer have a normal life”. “I’m lifting the mattresses so the children don’t get soaked,” he told Al Jazeera. “But the little ones were already drenched here. We don’t even have proper tents.”

Shocking Incident: Woman Caught on Video Tossing Dog in Plastic Bag Over Anaheim Veterinary Clinic Fence

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Authorities in Anaheim, California, have launched an investigation after a shocking video surfaced capturing a woman hurling a small dog over a fence. This unsettling event occurred in the early hours of Wednesday. Footage from the University Veterinary Center’s surveillance cameras reveals the dog encased in a plastic bag being flung over the facility’s barrier, landing in the clinic’s backyard. The following morning, the clinic’s veterinarian discovered the dog, who was suffering from serious injuries. “It’s difficult to comprehend why anyone would commit such an act,” expressed Dr. Ash Hakhamian. “Saying the dog was ‘thrown’ doesn’t capture the severity. The animal endured significant mental trauma, which eclipsed even his physical injuries.” Hakhamian was taken aback to find the injured animal behind his clinic, initially puzzled by how the dog had ended up there. “We decided to review the security camera footage, and to our disappointment we found the pet was placed there by being thrown over the fence,” he told ABC . “He face-planted,” Hakhamian added. “That’s what broke his fall, was his face.” In addition to the trauma and severe bruising, Hakhamian says the dog is severely anemic, malnourished and was covered in fleas. “His nails are so long, they have curled and gone back into his paw,” Hakhamian said. “That’s a type of neglect that proceeds this trauma, it proceeds this abuse.” The clinic said that due to the nature of the situation, the Anaheim Police Department and Orange County Animal Care are now involved and that the dog is “receiving around the clock care to ensure he is recovering from both his injuries and ongoing medical needs.” While he’s expected to fully recover, the dog remains in critical condition. After reviewing the surveillance video, the veterinarian’s office thought the woman responsible came from the apartment building across the street. Police confirmed that’s where she was found earlier on Thursday. The Anaheim Police Department said the woman seen in the video has not been arrested, but police are discussing the case with the Orange County District Attorney’s Office to see if it qualifies for criminal charges. Officer Breana Castro with Anaheim police said the woman has spoken with detectives. “Her statement was taken, and it is going to be presented to the district attorney’s office for charges,” Castro said. The dog is not currently available for adoption. “There is going to be a lot of medical care and other things involved before he is going to be made available to the public for adoption and/or foster care,” a statement from the clinic said. The incident remains under investigation.

Abbotsford event shows parents why their kids should be in the trades

The construction sector is one of the biggest employers in B.C., with more than 260,000 people currently working in this industry. However, as people retire or switch careers, more and more people are needed to keep up with the demand driven by a continually growing population. That’s why the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC is hosting a free event on Nov. 25 that will teach both parents and their children about the value of entering the construction industry. This event features construction professionals sharing the benefits of working in the skilled trades, how the industry has changed in recent years, and what the future likely holds for construction workers. A 2024 report from the provincial government predicted that the construction sector had the most optimistic future for employment opportunities among any skilled trade. According to the Labour Market Outlook 2024 report, there will be approximately 12,300 job openings in B.C. for construction helpers and labourers between 2024 and 2034, plus another 11,880 openings for carpenters. These numbers are significantly higher than any other industry in the report, with the next-highest one being the 9,160 job opportunities for cooks. This is in line with the growth that the construction industry has been seeing in recent years, according to Statistics Canada. In 2024, there were approximately 246,800 people working in construction in B.C., which is the closest that the province has gotten to reaching pre-pandemic levels that exceeded 250,000 workers. The provincial government is also encouraging more people to follow this career trajectory and recently committed to investing $241 million into trades training. Premier David Eby said that doubling the existing trades training fund within the next three years will benefit both those moving into skilled trades as well as the province as a whole. “This is about creating opportunity – giving more British Columbians the chance to train for good jobs with bigger paycheques and a more secure future,” said Eby. “Across the province, major projects in construction, clean energy, mining, and advanced technology are moving forward, and we need to make sure British Columbians benefit. By dramatically expanding skills training, we ensure projects can move without delay, and that British Columbians are first in line for these jobs.” The upcoming seminar at Abbotsford Arts Centre will give people a better understanding of whether pursuing this career trajectory is right for them or their children. Attending the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC’s event is free, but registration is required and can be found at chbabc.org/construction-careers-what-every-parent-should-know. The event takes place from 5:45 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 25.

Invest in Food and Beverage Stocks as the Holiday Season Approaches

In just over a month, families and friends will gather to enjoy their Christmas meals, a time of festive cheer. However, for some, this season also highlights a well-known investment strategy: investing in food and beverage companies as a defensive measure. Despite economic challenges, people still need to eat, and perhaps indulge in a drink or two to keep the spirits high. Recent developments have made this investment approach even more appealing. Sir Dave Lewis, credited with steering Tesco away from a crisis a decade ago, has been appointed as the new leader of Diageo. This £40 billion giant, known for products like Guinness and Johnnie Walker, has been facing troubles. The financial world is optimistic that ‘Drastic Dave,’ as he is famously called, can work his magic in time for future holiday seasons. This could be uplifting news for Diageo’s uneasy shareholders. However, the upcoming Budget in 11 days poses a potential challenge, with rumors suggesting that Chancellor Rachel Reeves might again increase taxes on alcohol. The anticipation surrounding Reeves’ announcement has already led to a slowdown in supermarket sales in the past few weeks. Last year’s Budget, which included hikes in employer National Insurance and other taxes, already hit supermarkets hard. They are hoping for a ‘pro-jobs, pro-growth’ statement this time, one that will benefit the retail sector. Whether the Chancellor will heed this call remains uncertain until the announcement on November 26, keeping speculation alive. But if you are looking for short or long-term diversification, the £76billion UK wine and spirits sector is an inviting prospect – particularly if you are re-positioning your portfolio to gain more exposure to British stocks. The FTSE 100 reached a record 9,808 this week before falling yesterday amid Budget jitters. Yes, apprehension may surround the impact of the Budget, but there still are reasons to be cheerful about UK plc. Food and drink might be seen as a safe haven, but hazards lurk. Sales at private equity-owned Asda dropped by 6 per cent over the past quarter, indicating that discounts alone are no longer sufficient to entice even the cash-strapped. Alexandra Jackson, manager of the Rathbones UK Opportunities fund, says: ‘This is a sector defined by its razor-thin margins, operational complexity, intense competition and volatile consumer trends.’ The latest include the ‘sober curious’ movement among members of Gen Z, the target clientele for Diageo’s Casamigos and other tequilas. But supermarkets are the beneficiaries of another consumer behaviour shift, dubbed ‘staying-in is the new going out’. In response to the expense of restaurant food, households are opting for supermarkets’ premium ready meals. Diageo should be able to supply the accompanying wines. Figures from analytics group NIQ highlight the appetite for premium private label dining. Sales of Marks & Spencer’s ranges are not only bounding ahead in its own stores, but also through its venture with Ocado. To the chagrin of investors, including myself, M&S shares are down this year owing to the cyber attack that paralysed its operations in the spring. Yet analysts rate its shares, which stand at 353.7p, a ‘buy’ based on the view that the British will want to spoil themselves this Christmas – and beyond. Britain’s number one grocer controls 28.3 per cent of the market. The aim is to achieve a 30 per cent share by offering more value to customers who might otherwise abscond to the German discounters Aldi and Lidl, and by appealing to the more affluent through its Finest premium label range. Tesco’s buoyant state contrasts markedly with its predicament in 2014 at the height of the accounting crisis that had engulfed the company. Luckily, Lewis arrived to save the day. Ken Murphy, Lewis’s successor, is also seen as a class act. Jackson says that Murphy’s adroit capital allocation decisions, which reflect ‘a deep understanding of what drives long-term performance’, are the reason why Tesco is the cornerstone of her fund. At 438.4p, Tesco shares are 18.5 per cent higher than at the start of the year, although they are still below the 606p peak in 2007. No analyst forecasts a return to such heights, but they do rate the shares, which offer a 3 per cent dividend yield, a ‘buy’. I took a tiny stake in Tesco in February 2024, when the shares were 285p. I was following my own advice in this column, partly spurred by purchases of pieces of Tesco F&F clothing items that people assumed were designer. I am not selling. SAINSBURY’S Sainsbury’s, which holds second place in the UK supermarket league with 15.3pc share, has long been in Tesco’s shadow. But analysts sense that Sainsbury’s may be stepping more into the limelight following a better-than-expected first-half performance. Sainsbury’s is benefiting from its Nectar loyalty scheme and from staying in is the new going out. Chief executive Simon Roberts says that more customers are sampling its Taste The Difference range. The disposal of its banking operation to NatWest has also boosted the company, and the next sell-off could be Argos, which owns homeware business Habitat. However, Argos is likely to fetch rather less than the £1.1billion Sainsbury’s paid for it in 2016. Most analysts consider Sainsbury’s a ‘hold’ at 322p. The shares could maintain their upward momentum if it enjoys a bumper festive season. Income seekers will like the 6 per cent dividend yield. Shares in Diageo leapt by 8 per cent this week on news of Lewis’s appointment. The heavily indebted group’s many problems include not only Gen Z teetotalism, but a move among all generations to ‘low-or-no’ alcohol. Non-alcoholic Guinness Zero is proving to be a favourite among all age groups. Yet selling Guinness is one option open to Lewis if he agrees with an analysis from the Swiss bank UBS that Diageo could be worth 40 per cent more if broken up. As an investor, I am hoping that Lewis will deploy all his expertise, especially since Diageo’s shares have fallen by 20 per cent since last Christmas to 1793.5p. Among the 20 brokers that follow the stock, six consider Diageo a ‘buy’. The rest contend that the shares are worth holding. The bounce in Diageo shares following Lewis’s appointment suggests the audacious are taking a flutter on such an outcome, which would certainly be an excuse for a toast in Casamigos, Guinness Zero or Smirnoff. With maybe some M&S, Sainsbury’s or Tesco canapes, too.

Dramatic Helicopter Rescue Saves BASE Jumper Stranded on Canyon Cliff

A daring rescue unfolded earlier this week near Moab, Utah, capturing attention on social media as a BASE jumper was saved from a precarious situation in the canyons. The dramatic footage, recorded by Danielle Mick, showcases the intense rescue operation on Wednesday. It reveals rescuers reaching the BASE jumper, who was left dangling with a rainbow parachute caught against the rocky face at Kane Creek. According to Grand County Emergency Services, officers received the call around 1:00 p.m. that afternoon. However, it wasn’t until 3:15 p.m. that they managed to reach the stranded jumper, whose identity remains undisclosed. Following the rescue, the Grand County Sheriff’s Department posted on Facebook, stating that the BASE jumper was “successfully rescued.” They also reported that the individual received “advanced treatment for moderate injuries” before being lifted from the cliff face to a safe zone around 4:00 p.m. In the shared video, a first responder can be seen descending from a helicopter, battling gusty winds to reach the jumper and the flapping parachute. The rescue video, nearly 20 minutes in length, was initially posted on Facebook, offering viewers a real-time glimpse of the high-stakes operation. According to Moab BASE Access, Utah Chapter, a 501(c)3 organization, “BASE jumping on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management that surround Moab is legal,” and “BASE jumping is all fun and games until you are smashed up on the talus and need rescue and surgery.” Moab BASE Access did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. Each Utah county’s respective sheriff’s office is responsible for their own search and rescue operations, according to the Utah Search and Rescue Association. “While yesterday’s incident gained public attention because it was visible from town — these types of rescues are exactly what we train for and do on a pretty regular basis,” wrote Grand County EMS on Facebook. “It’s a privilege to serve this community alongside such dedicated professionals, and to bring people home safely.” The Grand County Sheriff’s Department did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Police hunt more protesters over planned rock-throwing attack on officers

Police are hunting for seven more protesters who allegedly threw rocks and glass bottles at officers during a violent rally in Melbourne last month, bringing the total number of suspects to 15. Two police officers were taken to hospital after suffering injuries during clashes between anti-immigration protesters and counter-protesters at opposing rallies on October 19. Some officers were allegedly struck by rocks and glass bottles so hard that they cracked their protective shields. Police accused the counter-protesters of fuelling the violence, which the group disputed. On Saturday morning, police appealed for public assistance in identifying seven more protesters accused of assaulting police. Police had already released images on Thursday of eight protesters they allege intentionally brought ballast rocks – used on large-scale civil engineering projects and not found in the city – to hurl at police during the protest.

Patrick Beverley Arrested: Why Was Ex-NBA Player Taken Into Custody In Texas?

Former NBA player Patrick Beverley was arrested on Friday by the Deputies in Fort Bend County. They took him into custody in Richmond, Texas. Records say he faces a third-degree felony for assaulting a family or household member and for blocking the person’s breathing. His bond is set at 40,000 dollars, as per Fox5 News report. However, officers have not yet officially stated what happened before the arrest or what led to the incident. Who Is Patrick Beverley? Patrick Beverley is a well-known NBA player. He played 12 seasons for seven teams, including the Rockets, Clippers, Lakers, Bulls, 76ers, and Bucks. He was drafted in 2009 and played his first NBA game in 2013. His last season was in 2024 with the Milwaukee Bucks, as per Fox6 News report. Beverley's Involvement In Another Case Earlier this year, two women in Indiana sued Beverley, the Bucks, and a former assistant coach. They said Beverley threw a basketball into the stands during a 2024 playoff game and hurt them. TNT cameras recorded the moment. One woman said the ball hit her so hard it broke her necklace. The lawsuit also says a Bucks coach insulted and provoked fans. The Bucks asked the court to dismiss the case. Beverley later apologized on his podcast and said the fans called him a name he had never heard before. The women’s lawyer said his comments damaged their reputation. No new details have been shared about the Texas assault case. The investigation is still going on.

Iran warns U.S. operation near Venezuela risks regional stability

TEHRAN, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Saturday warned of "precarious" consequences for international peace and security from intensified U.S. military activity in the Caribbean and Latin America. In a statement, he urged respect for Venezuela's sovereignty and territorial integrity, two days after U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a "counternarcotics operation" in the Western Hemisphere known as "Southern Spear." Baghaei said U.S. threats to use force against Venezuela's legal government amounted to "conspicuous law-breaking" and a violation of the UN Charter. He cited "numerous reports" by international organizations describing U.S. attacks on fishing boats in the Caribbean Sea and Eastern Pacific as "arbitrary and extrajudicial killings," and said Washington was "abusing" the issue of drug trafficking to infringe on Venezuela's sovereignty. He also called on the United Nations to prevent actions that could undermine international peace and encourage "belligerent unilateralism." The United States has deployed several warships north of Venezuela, saying the mission targets suspected "narco-terrorists" it claims are linked to the Venezuelan government. Since September, the United States has carried out 20 strikes on fishing vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, killing 80 people.

Russian alleged hacker linked to Kremlin-backed cybercrime group arrested in Phuket

Moscow [Russia], November 15 (ANI): A Russian man wanted by the United States for alleged cybercrimes has been arrested on the Thai resort island of Phuket, CNN reported, citing Thai police's statement. Thai police said 35-year-old Denis Obrezko is allegedly part of the notorious group Void Blizzard, a cyber espionage gang recognised by Microsoft for hacking attacks that align with Kremlin interests. Obrezko was taken into custody on November 6 in a joint operation involving the FBI and Thai authorities. He had arrived in Phuket only a week earlier, according to Thailand's Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB), CNN reported. 'This individual had previously breached security systems and attacked government agencies in both Europe and the United States,' the CCIB said Friday. He will be held at the Criminal Court in Bangkok pending extradition to the US, it said. Police tracked him down to a hotel room in Phuket, where they seized several electronic devices, including a notebook computer, mobile phone and digital wallet, for forensic examination, officers said. Russia has acknowledged the arrest. Diplomat Ilya Ilyin from the Russian embassy in Thailand confirmed that a Russian citizen was detained in Phuket last week on suspicion of cybercrimes, reportedly at the request of US authorities, according to the TASS news agency. Microsoft Threat Intelligence (MTI) has previously highlighted Void Blizzard as a major threat actor targeting countries and sectors opposed to Russian interests, as per CNN. The group's attacks have focused on government, defence, transport, media, NGOs, and healthcare organisations across the US, Europe, and Ukraine. 'They often use stolen sign-in details that they likely buy from online marketplaces to gain access to organisations,' researchers said in a statement. 'Once inside, they steal large amounts of emails and files.' Void Blizzard is known for using basic techniques for initial access, including 'password spraying' where common passwords are systematically applied across multiple usernames, and using stolen authentication details, MTI found. 'Despite the lack of sophistication in their initial access methods, Void Blizzard has been effective in gaining access to and collecting information from compromised organisations in critical sectors,' MTI added. Void Blizzard regularly targets government and law enforcement entities, especially in NATO countries and those offering military or humanitarian aid to Ukraine, MTI said. The group's activities have affected various sectors in Ukraine, including education, transportation and defence. (ANI)

Energy watchdog shifts outlook, casting doubt on climate goals

LONDON, U.K.: Global demand for oil and gas could keep rising until 2050, the International Energy Agency said on November 12. This marks a shift from its earlier view that the world would soon move quickly to cleaner energy sources — and suggests that global climate goals may not be met. The IEA, which advises Western governments on energy security, has faced U.S. pressure in recent years to shift its focus from clean energy to supporting oil and gas production. President Donald Trump has urged American companies to expand drilling. Under former President Joe Biden, the IEA had predicted that oil demand would peak before 2030 and said that no new investment in oil and gas would be needed if the world wanted to meet its climate targets. However, Trump's Energy Secretary, Chris Wright, dismissed those earlier projections as "nonsensical." The IEA is funded by its member countries, with the U.S. as the most significant contributor. Its reports influence energy policies worldwide. In its 2025 World Energy Outlook, the IEA said that under current policies — meaning only existing government actions are counted — oil demand could reach 113 million barrels per day by 2050, about 13 percent higher than in 2024. Global energy demand could rise by 15 percent by 2035, equal to about 90 exajoules more energy use. The IEA last used this "current policies" model in 2019. Since 2020, it has focused on cleaner energy pathways to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The agency said it wanted to include new climate targets from countries for 2031–2035, but too few had submitted plans. In another model — the stated policies scenario, which includes planned but not yet enforced policies — oil demand is expected to peak around 2030. The IEA emphasized that these are scenarios, not firm forecasts. The report also found that investments in new liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects have jumped in 2025. About 300 billion cubic meters of new annual LNG capacity could be operating by 2030 — a 50 percent increase in global supply. Under the current policy scenario, the global LNG market could grow from 560 bcm in 2024 to 880 bcm in 2035 and 1,020 bcm in 2050, driven by power demand from data centers and artificial intelligence. Spending on data centers is expected to reach US$580 billion in 2025, surpassing the $540 billion spent annually on oil supply, the IEA said. The report also includes a net-zero scenario that outlines a path to cutting global energy emissions to zero by 2050. However, it warns that even with all current efforts, the world is likely to exceed the 1.5°C warming limit agreed at the 2015 Paris climate talks. Temperatures would only fall again under the net-zero scenario — and only if large-scale carbon removal technologies are used.

Jason Robertson, Stars eager to continue hot streaks in clash vs. Flyers

(Photo credit: David Kirouac-Imagn Images) Jason Robertson will look to stretch his 'puck luck' when the Dallas Stars open a brief two-game homestand Saturday night against the Philadelphia Flyers. Robertson collected two goals and an assist as the Stars blanked the Montreal Canadiens 7-0 on Thursday to stretch their winning streak to four games. With the three-point performance, Robertson extended his point streak to three games (three goals, four assists). The 26-year-old has 11 points (three goals, eight assists) over his last seven games. 'I wouldn't say it's easier,' Robertson said. 'It just happens. Puck luck. I don't know if those shots go in a week or two ago, but it did (in Montreal), and it feels good.' Stars coach Glen Gulutzan credited Robertson for continuing to play his game regardless of whether it translates on the scoresheet. 'That's why you've got to stick with it,' Gulutzan said. 'Confidence is a funny thing. When you've been that good of a scorer for that long, you've just got to stick with it. It's a credit to him. He never really got too down on himself.' Colin Blackwell scored a goal and an assist; Alex Petrovic, Wyatt Johnston, Tyler Seguin and defenseman Esa Lindell also scored in the win over the Canadiens. Radek Faksa notched three assists while Mikko Rantanen had two, and Casey DeSmith made 24 saves for his 13th career shutout. The Stars improved to 8-1-2 over their last 11 games. 'Honestly, we want to win games,' Robertson said. 'We want to keep winning games, and whether you're not feeling good or not, (we) want to keep winning and adjusting. Can't get ahead of ourselves but just trying to find ways to win.' Saturday will mark the first of two meetings between the Stars and Flyers this season. Dallas won both matchups last season, outscoring Philadelphia 7-3. The Flyers will travel to Dallas on Saturday for the second game of a back-to-back following a 6-5 shootout win in St. Louis on Friday night. The line of Trevor Zegras, Owen Tippett and Christian Dvorak carried the offensive load, combining for all five goals in regulation as the Flyers erased 3-1 and 5-3 deficits to force overtime. Zegras, who was unable to convert a penalty shot in overtime, added the shootout winner for Philadelphia, which stretched its point streak to five games (3-0-2). Goaltender Sam Ersson made 12 saves as the Flyers improved to 3-2-1 on the road this season. 'I don't think we got off to the start we wanted, but we turned it around pretty quickly,' Tippett said. 'Obviously was playing catch-up the whole game, but we got it done.' The Dvorak-Tippett-Zegras line combined for 10 points (five goals, five assists) in Friday's victory. '(Dvorak) is good all around the ice, and (Zegras) just hangs on to it and makes plays no matter where he is and how many guys are on him,' said Tippett, who matched a career high with his four-point effort. 'We've been together for a good portion of the year now, and it was fun tonight.' --Field Level Media
