Foreign journalists covering the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit 2025 in Tianjin hailed the SCO as a key platform for regional countries to jointly safeguard security, promote economic growth, and uphold peaceful development through trust and cooperation.报道2025 年天津上海合作组织峰会的外国记者纷纷表示，上合组织是区域各国依托互信与合作，共同维护安全、推动经济增长、坚守和平发展道路的关键平台。Irfan Ashraf, a journalist from Pakistan, described the Tianjin summit as "crucial", saying that it would "bring about very good outcomes in terms of economy and development".巴基斯坦记者伊尔凡・阿什拉夫称此次天津峰会“至关重要”，他表示，峰会 “将在经济与发展领域产生十分积极的成果”。Noting the packed agenda of the summit, Ashraf said he was particularly eager to hear President Xi Jinping's keynote speeches, which he said he expects to outline China's new perspectives and measures to support the SCO's high-quality development and its role in all-around regional cooperation.阿什拉夫关注到峰会议程丰富紧凑，他特别期待聆听习近平主席的主旨演讲，希望从中了解中国为支持上合组织高质量发展、助力其在区域全方位合作中发挥作用而提出的新视角与新举措。Describing China's role in the SCO as "indispensable", he expressed confidence that its vision of peaceful development will continue to steer the organization.在他看来，中国在上合组织中扮演“不可或缺” 的角色，且坚信中国的和平发展愿景将持续引领该组织发展方向。Roman Ziskin, a Russian correspondent, said the SCO's mission of safeguarding security and promoting shared development requires strong cooperation among member states.俄罗斯记者罗曼・齐斯金指出，上合组织肩负维护安全、促进共同发展的使命，这一使命的实现离不开成员国间的紧密协作。"The fact that the organization is named after Shanghai itself demonstrates China's irreplaceable role," he said, adding that China's strength lies in its ability to engage in dialogue with multiple countries and put forward proposals that help advance the SCO's growth.“上合组织以‘上海'命名这一事实本身，就充分彰显了中国不可替代的作用。” 他补充道，中国的优势在于能够与多个国家开展对话，并提出切实可行的提案，为上合组织的发展注入动力。Ziskin expressed the hope that the summit will bring the world closer and help promote cooperation and stability.齐斯金希望此次峰会能拉近世界各国距离，进一步推动国际合作与全球稳定。French journalist Marie Louise Malnoy said she expects meaningful political consultations and new cooperation plans at the summit, especially a blueprint for the SCO's development in the next decade.法国记者玛丽・路易丝・马尔努瓦表示，期待峰会上能开展富有成效的政治磋商，达成新的合作计划，尤其希望看到上合组织未来十年发展蓝图的出台。Speaking on China's role in the world's most populous regional organization, Malnoy said that China's unwavering respect for international institutions and its clarity in terms of diplomacy and trade reinforces its position as a stabilizing force amid today's turbulent geopolitical climate.谈及中国在这一全球人口最多的区域组织中的作用，马尔努瓦提到，当前地缘政治局势动荡，而中国对国际机制的坚定尊重、在外交与贸易领域的清晰立场，使其成为维护稳定的重要力量。Megha Prasad, a journalist from India, hailed the SCO's growing influence, noting that the group formed by six founding members has now grown into a family of 26 countries from across Asia, Europe and Africa.印度记者梅加・普拉萨德对合组织影响力的持续提升表示赞赏。她介绍，上合组织最初由6 个创始成员国组成，如今已发展成为涵盖亚洲、欧洲、非洲三大洲 26 个国家的 “大家庭”。The SCO plays a pivotal role when it comes to building consensus on regional cooperation, she said, expressing her hope that the summit will deliver concrete results on counterterrorism and trade promotion.普拉萨德认为，上合组织在凝聚区域合作共识方面发挥核心作用，她期待峰会能在反恐合作与促进贸易发展两大领域取得实实在在的成果。Brazilian journalist Mauro Ramos Pintos called the SCO a vital platform for regional countries to address security concerns, particularly at a time when "some countries, such as the United States, are meddling in the internal affairs of others".Amid global turbulence, the SCO is well-positioned to respond to emerging threats, he added.巴西记者毛罗・拉莫斯・平托斯将上合组织视为区域各国应对安全关切的重要依托。他特别指出，在“美国等部分国家干涉他国内政” 的当下，上合组织的这一作用更显重要。平托斯补充道，面对全球局势的动荡，上合组织具备应对各类新兴威胁的有利条件，能为区域安全稳定提供有力保障。Christsent Ane Rokobuli, a journalist from Nauru, described the summit as "an eye-opener". Although Nauru is not a part of the SCO family, she said the organization is highly significant for her country.瑙鲁记者克里斯森特・安妮・罗科布利称此次峰会是“一次开阔眼界的经历”。尽管瑙鲁并非上合组织成员国，但她强调，该组织对瑙鲁而言具有重要意义。"My core expectation is to see how developing nations can unite and support one another, especially when tackling climate change," she said.“我的核心期待，是看到发展中国家如何团结互助，尤其是在应对气候变化这一全球性挑战上。”Rokobuli, who is visiting China for the first time, expressed her admiration for Tianjin Port's zero-emission status — a model she viewed as highly relevant for island nations in combating climate change."China is vast and diverse. I hope to see more of it," she added.罗科布利说，这是她首次到访中国，期间，天津港的“零排放” 运营模式让她印象深刻，她认为这一模式为海岛国家应对气候变化提供了极具价值的参考。“中国幅员辽阔、文化多样，我希望能有更多机会深入了解这个国家。” 她补充道。Russian journalist Maxim Al-Turi praised the organization of the summit and the media center's innovative features, especially its multilingual service robots."We spoke to them in Russian and they gave us answers, which was both interesting and helpful for our reporting," he said.俄罗斯记者马克西姆・阿勒图里对峰会的组织工作及媒体中心的创新设施给予高度评价，尤其认可多语言服务机器人的应用。“我们用俄语与机器人交流，它们能准确回应问题，这既有趣，又为我们的报道工作提供了不少便利。” 阿勒图里说。Safeguardv. 维护；保护；捍卫/ˈseɪfɡɑːd/indispensableadj.不可或缺的；必不可少的/ˌɪndɪˈspensəbl/pivotaladj.关键的；中枢的；起核心作用的/ˈpɪvətl/cooperationn.反恐；反恐怖主义（指打击恐怖主义的行动或政策）/ˌkaʊntəˈterərɪzəm/zero-emissionadj.零排放的（指不释放污染物或温室气体的）/ˌzɪərəʊ ɪˈmɪʃn/

On Friday, the home affairs minister, Tony Burke, released a six-line statement announcing a new deal struck with Nauru. The deal allows the government to deport about 280 members of the NZYQ cohort, a group of noncitizens living in Australia whose visas were cancelled on character grounds. And despite costing hundreds of millions of dollars, the public have been told little detail about how the arrangement will work. Senior reporter Ben Doherty speaks to Nour Haydar about why critics have labelled the government's plan to deport people to its Pacific neighbour ‘discriminatory, disgraceful and dangerous'

Chính phủ Liên bang đã ký một thỏa thuận trị giá 400 triệu đô la với Nauru, được cho là mở đường cho việc trục xuất nhóm người được gọi là N-Z-Y-Q. Thông báo này đã vấp phải sự phẫn nộ từ các nhà hoạt động, luật sư nhân quyền và đảng Xanh. Những người chỉ trích cho rằng, thỏa thuận này đe dọa các quyền pháp lý căn bản, theo những cách có thể được áp dụng rộng rãi hơn.

GB2RS News Sunday, the 17th of August 2025 The news headlines: Read daily updates from the RSGB's YOTA summer camp team ‘Women in amateur radio' panel to be held at RSGB Convention in October The RSGB Awards Manager announces a new awards series This year's Youngsters on the Air summer camp begins tomorrow, Monday, the 18th of August, and the RSGB is sending a team of four young members to take part. YOTA camps are an amazing opportunity for young people to operate the latest amateur radio equipment, take part in construction activities and make international friendships. The Society will be keeping you up to date with the group's progress by sharing daily updates and photos. This year's camp is taking place near Paris and is being organised by REF, the French national amateur radio society, and the IARU. Read the daily blog updates by visiting rsgb.org/yota-camp  and selecting ‘YOTA Paris 2025' from the right-hand menu. The Society will also be sharing updates via its Facebook and X channels. If you'd like to get involved with getting young people on the air, why not participate in YOTA Month in December 2025? If you'd like to host special callsign GB25YOTA or if you'd like to find out more, email the YOTA Month Coordinator, Jamie, M0SDV via yota.month@rsgb.org.uk The list of confirmed speakers for this year's RSGB Convention continues to grow, with a further round of names released. If you haven't already purchased your tickets, be sure to book online now to secure your place and watch Dan McGraw, M0WUT, explain PCB design for low-voltage switched-mode power supplies. You'll also be able to get an insight into what has been learnt from Solar Cycle 25, with a presentation by the Chair of the RSGB Propagation Studies Committee, Steve Nichols, G0KYA. The Society has also confirmed that RSGB RadCom Technical Editor Peter Duffett-Smith, GM3XJE, will be presenting a lecture on the importance of understanding the input impedance of your transmitter. The IRTS Youth Officer Ana Cañizares, EI5IXB, will be sharing her experience of getting young people in Ireland involved in amateur radio. In addition, the RSGB has announced that it will be holding a ‘women in amateur radio' panel discussion. This exciting session will highlight five women who enjoy different aspects of amateur radio and will discuss the various opportunities, challenges and potential barriers that may exist in engaging more girls and women with amateur radio. Find out more about these thought-provoking presentations by going to rsgb.org/convention  and selecting RSGB 2025 Convention speakers from the right-hand menu. The Convention takes place between the 10th and 12th of October and is a must-do on every radio amateur's calendar. The RSGB Awards Manager has introduced a new awards series for amateur radio contacts with stations across all UK country and Crown Dependency prefixes. The Worked All UK and Crown Dependency Prefixes Award offers several different sub-sets, with the rules varying slightly for each. The idea for the award was put forward as a way of encouraging, or tapping into, intra-UK activity as well as encouraging contact with UK amateurs. Get involved with this new award by going to rsgb.org/awards  and selecting ‘Worked All UK and Crown Dependency' from the right-hand menu. You can find details of other awards offered by the Society using the same link. National Coding Week takes place during the third week of September, and the RSGB is dedicating the whole of the month to amateur radio and coding activities. This year, the Society has created two new activities for you to try. Both build on worksheets it shared in previous years; however, you don't have to have done those first. The Python Pocket Morse activity has been developed by the RSGB Maker Champion Tom Wardill, 2E0JJI and is a low-cost opportunity to learn some Morse and programming together. The exercise will cover using a BBC Micro:bit V2 and the ‘more advanced' Python programming instead of the previous block programming mode. It is intended as a gentle introduction to both Python and small computer programming and can be done without any previous knowledge of the micro:bit. You can download the full instructions by going to rsgb.org/coding  and selecting ‘Python Pocket Morse' from the right-hand menu. The other new activity is the LoRa balloon challenge. As well as the manual, which guides you through the process of building your own LoRa tracker and seeing how far your signal can reach, the Society has released a video in which Fraser, MM0EFI, demonstrates the process. Find both on the RSGB website at rsgb.org/lora-balloon International Lighthouse and Lightship Weekend started at 0001UTC on Saturday, the 16th and ends at 2400UTC today, the 17th of August.

More information is available at QRZ.com 4U0ITU is the callsign in use by the International Amateur Radio Club at ITU HQ in Geneva. The station is active in celebration of the 160th anniversary of the International Telecommunication Union. QSL via Logbook of the World and OQRS. Now the DX news Steve, ZL2KE, is active as E51KEE from Rarotonga, OC-013, on the South Cook Islands until tomorrow, the 18th of August. He is operating CW and some SSB on the 40 to 10m bands. QSL directly to IK2DUW. QSOs will be uploaded to Club Log and Logbook of the World. Phill, C21TS, is active in Nauru until September 2025. He has made over 83,000 QSOs so far and hopes to reach 100,000 contacts before leaving the island. Recently, the station was spotted on the HF bands using FT8. QSL via Logbook of the World and OQRS. Now the contest news On Tuesday the 19th, the RSGB 1.3GHz UK Activity Contest runs from 1900 to 2130 UTC. Using all modes on the 23cm band, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. On Thursday the 21st, the 70MHz UK Activity Contest runs from 1900 to 2130 UTC. Using all modes on the 4m band, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. On Sunday the 24th, the UK Microwave Group 5.7 and 10GHz Contest runs from 0600 to 1800 UTC. Using all modes on 5.7 and 10GHz frequencies, the exchange is signal report, serial number and locator. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA and G4BAO on Thursday the 14th of August Last weekend was characterised by unsettled geomagnetic conditions caused by a massive coronal hole on the Sun. At one point, the Kp index got up to 6, with a corresponding decrease in maximum usable frequencies, or MUFs. The Dourbes Digisonde failed to record much at all over six hours. Luckily, that disruption had passed by Monday the 11th as the ionosphere started to get back to normal. Meanwhile, the solar flux index reached a peak of 153 on the 10th, before dropping back to 140 on Thursday, the 14th. There have been numerous C-class solar flares and ten M-class events over the past five days, but nothing of note. The MUF over a 3,000km path exceeded 24.9MHz at times, but has generally been between 21 and 24MHz. Another coronal hole is Earth-centric at the moment and could cause some disruption, with increased Kp indices by tomorrow, the 18th or Tuesday the 19th. HF DX has been good at times, with the stand-out station being T30TTT in Western Kiribati. The station has been worked on many bands, including 20, 15 and 10m using CW, as well as FT4 and FT8. After two weeks, there will be just one operator who is there until mid-September. So you have plenty of time to work him. Stanley, AH6KO, in Hawaii, has also been spotted on the 15m band using CW. This is a relatively rare opportunity and good for anyone chasing their Worked All States award. A little closer to home is Henri, OJ0JR on Market Reef, who has been easily workable on the 30m band using FT8. Get in quick, though, as he is only there until tomorrow, the 18th. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will remain in the 140 to 150 range. Unsettled geomagnetic conditions are forecast for tomorrow, the 18th, until Wednesday the 20th, probably caused by the coronal hole mentioned earlier. Better conditions are predicted for the 23rd to the 27th with a maximum Kp index of 3. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO Last week's propagation highlights were SSB and CW QSOs between the UK and Las Canarias on both the 23 and 13cm bands between G4GLT, EA8DMF, ED8BRZ and EB8AYA.  There may be more Tropo next week with high pressure close to, or over, the British Isles. However, at this time of the year, any Tropo will be due to temperature inversions. These can be at the surface and are especially persistent over water, so look for marine paths across the North Sea or up the east coast to Scotland. Other potentially good marine paths might be across the Channel or Biscay to Spain and beyond. The hot days of high summer break down these surface inversions over the land during the day so, if your station is inland, your best chances of Tropo in summer will often be overnight and until mid-morning. Inversions can also be elevated in the region of the high pressure, say between 1 and 2km above ground, giving good DX prospects that are not affected by the heating of the summer day. In this high-pressure period, it is much more likely to be a surface inversion that drives the Tropo. There will be little rain in prospect except for parts of Ireland, South Wales and southwest England, where a few thundery showers are possible. However, these will not be particularly good for rain scatter. There continue to be some aurora alerts, so monitor the Kp index and if it is rising to, say, 6, try beaming north on the 10, 6, 4 and 2m bands in turn to see if any genuine auroral signals are coming back. Lastly, the Sporadic-E season is coming into its closing weeks. 10m is a good band to check first. If Sporadic-E is very short-skip there, try moving up to 6m or beyond for a strong event. Digital modes are best, so use these to get clues as to where the CW and SSB paths might show up next. Meteor scatter operators have been very busy during the Perseids meteor shower. The Perseids should still provide some activity in the coming week. Moon declination is positive and rising until Tuesday the 19th, so Moon window lengths and peak elevation will follow suit. Path losses are rising again as we are now past perigee. 144MHz sky noise is low to moderate all next week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with poet and visual artist Zachary Logan about his beautiful collection of poetry and art, Green (Radiant Press, 2025).  An exciting new collection of ekphrastic poems accompanied by a compilation of green sketches via the lens of a queer poet and visual artist. Zachari Logan carried a sketchbook as he travelled the world and responded to iconic artwork as well as art that once existed but is now lost, destroyed, or far away. Whimsical art and thoughtful poems that ponder the nature of existence. Zachari Logan is a queer Canadian settler poet and artist whose artwork has been exhibited throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Logan's work can be found in collections worldwide, including the National Gallery of Canada, Art Gallery of Ontario, Remai Modern, Peabody Essex Museum, McMichael Canadian Art Collection and Nerman MOCA among many others. In 2014 Logan received the Lieutenant Governor's Emerging Artist Award, in 2015 he received the Alumni of Influence Award from the University of Saskatchewan and in 2016 Logan was long-listed for the Sobey Art Award. In 2010, his chapbook, A Eulogy for the Buoyant, was published by JackPine Press and in 2021, A Natural History of Unnatural Things, was published by Radiant Press. Logan's artwork and writing has been featured in many publications throughout the world. Zachari Logan lives in Regina, Saskatchewan. “Green is a ravishing compendium of attention—a book that bristles with subtle and unexpected poetic turns, and the peculiar thrum of being human in a world increasingly out of step with itself. Here, the act of writing is inseparable from drawing, from walking, from remembering, from witnessing—and from loving, deeply, the fragile and persistent textures of the earth. Zachari Logan's poems pulse with vegetal sensitivity, moving between alleyways and art history, between inner monologue and ecological longing. Green is not merely a colour: it is an atmosphere, a consciousness, a sensual and moral register. What it captures is more than the sum of its fragments—it is their residue, their ache, their adaptation, their ephemeral and often unintelligible traces. There is a deep and haunting beauty across these pages, but also fury, wit, and a quiet defiance. A sensual invitation to pay attention, this little but mighty book is not only an artistic gesture, but a political and ethical one. With luminous precision and a mind turned toward both the microscopic and the mythic, Green is a spell cast in language and images—one that lingers long after the page is turned.”— Giovanni Aloi, author of Lucian Freud: Plant Portraits, Botanical Revolutions: How Plants Changed the Course of Art and Speculative Taxidermy: Natural History, Animal Surfaces, and Art in the Anthropocene“A poem in its very color; deep green, wildly queer. This book captivates with its folds and cracks. The dissection of worlds, coupled with meticulous sketches of botany, art and the quotidian carried by the fascinating complexity of nature. One is lost between the body of a naked man or an abandoned thistle flower in a thick ditch. At once a sketchbook, a collection of poems, and an essay- this collection opens a door to the striking universe of Zachari Logan.”— Julie Hetu, author of Pacific Bell, Les dormeurs de Nauru and MotZachari Logan Learn more about your ad choices.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with poet and visual artist Zachary Logan about his beautiful collection of poetry and art, Green (Radiant Press, 2025).  An exciting new collection of ekphrastic poems accompanied by a compilation of green sketches via the lens of a queer poet and visual artist. Zachari Logan carried a sketchbook as he travelled the world and responded to iconic artwork as well as art that once existed but is now lost, destroyed, or far away. Whimsical art and thoughtful poems that ponder the nature of existence. Zachari Logan is a queer Canadian settler poet and artist whose artwork has been exhibited throughout North America, Europe and Asia. Logan's work can be found in collections worldwide, including the National Gallery of Canada, Art Gallery of Ontario, Remai Modern, Peabody Essex Museum, McMichael Canadian Art Collection and Nerman MOCA among many others. In 2014 Logan received the Lieutenant Governor's Emerging Artist Award, in 2015 he received the Alumni of Influence Award from the University of Saskatchewan and in 2016 Logan was long-listed for the Sobey Art Award. In 2010, his chapbook, A Eulogy for the Buoyant, was published by JackPine Press and in 2021, A Natural History of Unnatural Things, was published by Radiant Press. Logan's artwork and writing has been featured in many publications throughout the world. Zachari Logan lives in Regina, Saskatchewan. “Green is a ravishing compendium of attention—a book that bristles with subtle and unexpected poetic turns, and the peculiar thrum of being human in a world increasingly out of step with itself.

From phosphate dust in Nauru to the trails of Western Australia—and even a 200-miler past Stonehenge—Alexis Oosterhoff has taken the scenic (and slightly insane) route into ultra running. In this episode, Alexis shares: •How a casual desire to run a marathon at 40 was nearly derailed by a cancer diagnosis •Why he traded in a private plane for a pair of trail shoes •His love of raw, unmarked ultra races (hello, GPX-only navigation and fields full of barking farm dogs) •What drives him to run events like an 18-day stage race in Spain and the 24-4-ME Challenge to raise awareness for ME/CFS •His deep connection to the WA running community—and his take on what really makes someone a runner Plus: tips for beginners, the importance of volunteering, and why Alexis believes trail running makes us all better humans.

An executive order from US president Donald Trump aimed at fast-tracking seabed mining is causing ripples in the Pacific region. Anti-deep sea mining advocates say the order likely risks Nauru's ambitions to mine in an area of the high seas known as the Clarion Clipperton Zone. Nauru alongside Tonga, Kiribati and Cook Islands, have special rights in the zone through the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and International Seabed Authority. Advocates warn Trump's order, and the behaviour of Canadian mining group The Metals Company, risk these, even though Nauru and Tonga are its partners. Teuila Fua-tai compiled this report.

In this video, Mr Henderson compares Sierra Leone's new offering with Nauru, the Caribbean programs, and real estate-driven options like Egypt and Turkey. He breaks down not just the sticker prices but the real costs, travel benefits, and practical limitations of each. While Sierra Leone wins on price, its passport offers limited visa-free travel—mainly within Africa and a few Asian countries—compared to more robust Caribbean options. Mr. Henderson explains why, despite the low cost, this may not be the best deal for most investors and why serious citizenship planning goes beyond price alone.

Mientras la comunidad internacional tarda en regular la minería en aguas profundas, crece el apetito de los industriales por las inmensas reservas oceánicas minerales claves para la transición energética. La empresa TMC anunció que solicitará una licencia de explotación a Estados Unidos, fuera del marco multileral. Los fondos de los océanos atesoran oro, plata y minerales raros como níquel, cobalto y telurio, indispensables para responder al boom de la electrificación del transporte. Pero de momento, la minería submarina en aguas internacionales está prohibida.Y aunque algunas empresas y estados como Nauru, una nación insular del Pacífico- piden que la comunidad internacional legalice y regule esta actividad a través de un código minero, los peligros para la fauna Mmarina son múltiples, según alertas de ambientalistas y científicos.La minería en aguas profundas “podría tener impactos severos para especies marinas migratorias como los atunes. Y en profundidades de 4000 o 5000 metros, esta actividad podría poner en peligro especies que todavía no han sido descubiertas”, advierte Matt Gianni, cofundador de la Coalición Internacional para la Conservación de las Aguas Profundas. Las ONG ambientales estiman que el ruido de la maquinaria pesada que se desplegaría en los fondos oceánicos para extraer material rocoso o nódulos polimetálicos generaría ruido y desechos que perturbarían los ecosistemas.En un informe publicado en marzo de 2025, científicos del Centro Oceanográfico Nacional británico (NOC) estudiaron, por ejemplo, una zona del Pacífico donde se realizaron pruebas de minería submarina hace 44 años y constataron que la fauna aún no se había recuperado por completo.  ¿Entonces se puede o no extraer minerales de los océanos y si sí, en qué condiciones? Es precisamente lo que se está negociando desde hace casi una década bajo la égida de la Autoridad Internacional de los Fondos Marinos (AIFM), sin que los delegados de 169 países hayan logrado ponerse de acuerdo hasta la fecha.La última sesión de diálogos, que concluyó el 28 de marzo tampoco logró ningún avance. “Muchos países están viendo que no es posible extraer minerales en aguas profundas, por lo menos ahora con el poco entendimiento que tenemos del mar profundo y cómo evitar hacer daño ahí”, estima Matt Gianni, quien asistió a la sesión de negociaciones en Kingston, Jamaica.Los temas que dividen la comunidad internacionalEl reparto de los beneficios en caso de extracción minera en aguas internacional, la responsabilidad en caso de contaminación y la protección de zonas marinas de gran importancia cultural son algos de los temas que aún no han generado consenso entre los delegados.“Según la ley de mar hay que autorizar la minería solamente para el beneficio de toda la humanidad, no solamente para una compañía o un país, entonces la negociación es compleja”, observa el activista.Sin embargo, coincidiendo con el último día de la sesión de debates multilaterales, la empresa canadiense The Metals Company (TMC, pionera en el desarrollo de las técnicas de minería submarina)  anunció su intención de solicitar directamente una licencia de explotación ante Estados Unidos, país que no es miembro de la Autoridad Internacional de los Fondos Marinos, y que solo participa en las reuniones como observador.“Esta empresa TMC está haciendo lobby (presionando) ante el gobierno norteamericano para conseguir una licencia fuera de la ley internacional, de manera unilateral, con Estados Unidos, para realizar minería en aguas internacionales”, lamenta Matt Gianni.En cambio, varios países de latinoamericanos, africanos y europeos piden una moratoria para impedir la minería en aguas profundas. Noruega, que planeaba otorgar en 2025 permisos de exploración para empresas que buscan extraer minerales en sus aguas territoriales, dio finalmente marcha atras en diciembre pasado.

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of ‘Discover Daily' by Perplexity, we delve into the latest developments in tech and geopolitics. OpenAI is set to revolutionize its business model with the introduction of advanced AI agents, offering monthly subscription plans ranging from $2,000 to $20,000. These agents are designed to perform complex tasks autonomously, leveraging advanced language models and decision-making algorithms. This move is supported by a significant $3 billion investment from SoftBank, highlighting the potential for these agents to contribute significantly to OpenAI's future revenue.The Pacific island nation of Nauru is also making headlines with its controversial 'golden passport' scheme. For $105,000, individuals can gain citizenship and visa-free access to 89 countries. This initiative aims to fund Nauru's climate change mitigation efforts, as the island faces existential threats from rising sea levels. However, the program raises ethical concerns about criminal exploitation, vetting issues, and the commodification of national identity. As Nauru navigates these challenges, it will be crucial to monitor the program's effectiveness in providing necessary funds for climate adaptation without compromising national security or ethical standards.Our main story focuses on former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's opposition to a U.S. government-led 'Manhattan Project' for developing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Schmidt argues that such a project could escalate international tensions and trigger a dangerous AI arms race, particularly with China. Instead, he advocates for a more cautious approach, emphasizing defensive strategies and international cooperation in AI advancement. This stance reflects a growing concern about the risks of unchecked superintelligence development and highlights the need for policymakers and tech leaders to prioritize AI safety and collaboration.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/openai-s-20000-ai-agent-nvz8rzw7TZ.ECGL9usO2YQhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/nauru-sells-citizenship-for-re-mWT.fYg_Su.C7FVaMGqCfQhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/eric-schmidt-opposes-agi-manha-pymGB79nR.6rRtLvcqONIA **Introducing Perplexity Deep Research:**https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-perplexity-deep-research Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Lorsqu'on pense à un pays, on imagine aussitôt sa capitale, souvent centre administratif et économique majeur. Pourtant, il existe un État qui n'a pas de capitale officielle : Nauru. Cette petite île du Pacifique est un cas unique au monde, et cette singularité s'explique par plusieurs facteurs historiques, géographiques et économiques.1. Nauru : un micro-État insulaireNauru est une île de 21 km², ce qui en fait le troisième plus petit pays du monde après le Vatican et Monaco. Située en Océanie, près de l'équateur, elle compte environ 12 000 habitants. Son absence de capitale officielle s'explique en grande partie par sa taille réduite : l'ensemble du pays est accessible en quelques minutes en voiture, ce qui rend inutile la désignation d'une ville principale.2. Un État sans besoin de capitaleContrairement à la plupart des nations, Nauru ne possède pas de ville principale distincte : toute l'île est habitée de manière relativement homogène. Cependant, le district de Yaren est souvent considéré comme la capitale de facto, car c'est là que se trouvent les principales institutions gouvernementales, comme le Parlement et les ministères.Le choix de ne pas désigner officiellement une capitale tient aussi à des raisons historiques. Nauru, ancien territoire administré par l'Allemagne, l'Australie et le Royaume-Uni, a obtenu son indépendance en 1968, mais n'a jamais jugé nécessaire d'attribuer un statut particulier à une ville.3. Une économie autrefois prospère, aujourd'hui en déclinDans les années 1970-1980, Nauru était l'un des pays les plus riches du monde grâce à l'exploitation de son principal gisement de phosphate, un engrais naturel extrait de l'île. Cette richesse soudaine aurait pu entraîner la construction d'une capitale moderne, mais la mauvaise gestion des ressources et l'épuisement du phosphate ont plongé Nauru dans une crise économique.Aujourd'hui, le pays dépend largement de l'aide internationale et de sources de revenus controversées, comme l'accueil de centres de détention pour migrants financés par l'Australie.4. Un modèle unique mais fragileL'absence de capitale officielle est un symbole du fonctionnement atypique de Nauru. Son modèle repose sur une organisation administrative centralisée, mais sans grand centre urbain. Toutefois, son avenir est incertain : entre crise écologique, montée des eaux et dépendance financière, Nauru reste un micro-État vulnérable.Un pays sans capitale, mais avec une histoire singulière et un avenir à défis multiples !

But what other football personalities have taken part in bizarre reality TV shows? A Polish team has fallen victim to an unusual theft in Turkey. But what was stolen and how did they catch the perpetrator? And a goalkeeper in Senegal becomes only the second footballer to play professionally on all six continents. Who was the first – and why did he put a kidnapped penguin in his bathtub? Up next in Part 2 are some headlines from Asia and Oceania. Australia's longest-standing derby awards the winner a trophy made of concrete from the motorway that connects their two cities. There's arguably an even stranger trophy Down Under, though. The Marshall Islands have launched their ‘No Home' kit to draw awareness to climate change. But what was unusual about their social media unveiling?

Happy Monday, Film Friends! That's right, we are trying on a Mon-Wed-Fri schedule because we have so many exciting talks to share with you all! Brazilian filmmaker Tôka wrote and directed the film “Nauru,” a remarkable film that took home the Grand Jury Award for Best Featurette, Sci-Fi at Film Invasion Los Angeles 2024. In fact, the film took home five awards, including Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, and Best Supporting Performer. “Nauru” is a proof of concept for a feature script that Tôka wrote, which is good news because the world he created in “Nauru” deserves to be explored much further. Tôka lives in London today and hopped onto Zoom to have this conversation with me. After seeing a film as well-written and visually stunning as “Nauru,” I had been looking forward to this talk for most of 2024. We managed to get on Zoom together in December and now you get to listen to it in 2025!

#OCEANIA: Nauru  and Solomons bullied by both camps. @CleoPaskal, FDD 1943 Solomon Islands

Shadi Hamid, Washington Post columnist and co-host of the Wisdom Of Crowds podcast, discusses Israel's regard for innocent lives and if the United States would conduct a war in the way the Israelis do. Plus, the island nation of Nauru gets paid off by the Australians not the play footsy with China. And the Syrian navy is sunk, their chemical weapons cache has been destroyed, and no, Israel is not waiting for a thank-you note.
