Although almost all the casualties are local, there is concern in the US that the governments' loss of control of much of their territory could allow the emergence of safe havens for jihadist groups to develop further and expand.

(RTTNews) - Oracle Corp. said it plans to raise $45 billion to $50 billion in 2026 to support the expansion of its rapidly growing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure business. The company is raising capital to build additional capacity and meet contracted demand from major customers, including AMD, Meta, NVIDIA, OpenAI, TikTok, xAI, and others. Oracle expects to achieve its funding objective through a balanced mix of debt and equity financing, while maintaining a solid investment-grade balance sheet. On the equity side, the company plans to raise about half of its funding through equity-linked and common equity issuances. This will include an initial issuance of mandatory convertible preferred securities, representing a modest portion of the overall equity funding, as well as a newly authorized at-the-market equity program of up to $20 billion. Oracle intends to issue equity flexibly over time at prevailing market prices, depending on market conditions and capital needs. On the debt side, Oracle will complete a single, one-time issuance of investment-grade senior unsecured bonds early in 2026 to cover the remaining half of its planned funding. The company does not expect to issue additional bonds during the year beyond this transaction. Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC will lead the senior unsecured bond offering, while Citigroup will oversee the at-the-market equity program and the mandatory convertible preferred equity issuance.

Kennedy Center to close for 2 years for renovations in July, Trump says toggle caption Mark Schiefelbein/AP WASHINGTON — President Trump said Sunday he will move to close Washington's Kennedy Center performing arts venue for two years starting in July for construction. Trump's announcement on social media follows a wave of cancellations since Trump ousted the previous leadership and added his name to the building. Trump made no mention in his post of the recent cancellations. Trump announced his plan days after the premiere of Melania, a documentary of the first lady, was shown at the storied venue. The proposal, he said, is subject to approval by the board of the Kennedy Center, which has been stocked with his hand-picked allies. Trump himself chairs the center's board of trustees. "This important decision, based on input from many Highly Respected Experts, will take a tired, broken, and dilapidated Center, one that has been in bad condition, both financially and structurally for many years, and turn it into a World Class Bastion of Arts, Music, and Entertainment," Trump wrote in his post. Sponsor Message Leading performing arts groups have pulled out of appearances, most recently, composer Philip Glass, who announced his decision to withdraw his Symphony No. 15 "Lincoln" because he said the values of the center today are in "direct conflict" with the message of the piece. Earlier this month, the Washington National Opera announced that it will move performances away from the Kennedy Center in another high-profile departure following Trump's takeover of the U.S. capital's leading performing arts venue. A spokesperson for the Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
