【有線新聞】侵華日軍南京大屠殺遇難同胞紀念館1985年正式建成開放，負責人指有關於南京大屠殺的研究永遠沒有終點，希望未來可以進一步宣揚珍愛和平的理念。 紀念館的牆上顯示出不同人的姓名，每隔12秒便有一顆流星落下，寓意南京大屠殺的30萬名死難者平均每12秒便有1人死亡。1982年日本文部省修改教科書，將「侵略」字眼改成「進入」，並對南京大屠殺歷史進行淡化和刪減。侵華日軍南京大屠殺遇難同胞紀念館教育服務部主任王敏：「在那種情況下，當時很多的國民就提議南京市政府，要辦一個這樣的紀念館。所以從82年開始，當時南京市政府決定做三件事情，就是建館、立碑、編史。」 館內收藏了超過1萬份歷史資料和6,000多件文物，當中包括照片、幸存者的證詞等。負責人強調，南京大屠殺的歷史研究永遠沒有終點，王敏：「史料的收集、完善，包括基於新發掘史料的研究，也是沒有終點的。在這個基礎上，我們會結合最新發現的相關的一些史料、包括一些文物，經過這個背後的一些研究，來不斷地拓展這個戰爭當中的一些內容。」 王敏又提到，館方近期正舉辦國際和平海報雙年展，未來希望通過更多藝術化的方式手段，讓公眾在了解歷史的同時，亦呈現出珍愛和平的主題。紀念館公祭廣場的和平大鐘，鐘架上的3根支柱代表數字「3」，5個鐵環代表5個「零」，中間的支架似是「人」字造型，寓意「倒下的30萬人」。 每年12月13日國家公祭日，紀念館都舉行撞鐘儀式，寓意牢記國恥、珍愛和平，和對遇難同胞的悼念。

By Stephen Nellis SAN FRANCISCO, March 23 (Reuters) - Oracle is revamping its cloud-based financial software used by large companies to work with artificial intelligence agents, with a ‌goal of having humans ask the system business questions and letting AI figure ‌out how to find the data. The changes, which Oracle planned to announce at an event in London on Tuesday ​local time, are part of a broader trend in which providers of highly specialized corporate software are revamping it to be used by AI agents that can carry out tasks on behalf of human users. Oracle's shares are down about 40% this year as the company has been ‌swept by investor concerns that ⁠AI tools will largely supplant complicated business software. Oracle's executives have argued that the company is embracing AI tools to keep its software ahead ⁠of those changes. In the latest case, Oracle is updating its Fusion suite of software, which includes core business tasks such as planning production in factories and collecting money from customers. Steve Miranda, executive vice ​president ​of applications development at Oracle, said the company's ​goal is to make it easier ‌to focus on business questions, such as how to make a new product design cheaper and faster, while minimizing the risks to supply chain disruptions. The data needed for those decisions, Miranda said, is scattered among the various applications in Oracle's suite and third-party software connected to it. AI will take on tasks such as entering and gathering data and making recommendations, ‌while for human employees there will be more emphasis on ​skills like knowing how to negotiate with suppliers and ​what kind of risk tolerance for ​supply disruption a company has, Miranda said. "Typing in an invoice isn't a ‌particularly high-value skill to your enterprise or ​to the person you ​know who does that part of their job," Miranda said. "Decision making is still kind of up to that human and weighing the different pros and cons of that ​ca...

政府就大埔宏福苑成立的獨立委員會，舉行第三場聽證會。代表市建局的資深大律師呂世杰陳詞時就指，在樓宇維修保養的範疇，市建局從來只是扮演促進者的角色。 而市建局早年協助業主籌組維修的過程，留意到有不法分子操控招標，例如只有個別承建商收到招標文件，迫退其他有意入標的承建商，甚至篡改開標、評標結果。 呂世杰指，市建局對於宏福苑維修工程，招聘顧問鴻毅的過程認知有限，因為並非經招標妥找鴻毅。他又指市建局不能干預業主招標過程，局方亦不會參與直接維修工程。 他又強調，市建局的財政、人力框架，沒有預留人力處理樓宇維修，對於委員會代表上周指，市建局收到鴻毅報告後，是「照單全收」，市建局不敢苟同。並強調市建局不是執法部門，不能靠一己之力，找出違法人士，希望監管機構留意市場操作，重回正軌。

近年来，随着短视频和直播平台快速发展，一些网络博主通过打造其成功投资人设，吸引大量粉丝。近期，一名平台粉丝超百万的所谓“富二代”网红因非法荐股被证券监管和公安部门联合查处。 受害人是如何被骗的？案件是怎样一步步被侦破的？ “富二代”带你炒股？ 投资者亏损近百万元 在短视频平台，王先生关注到一名自称“京圈富少”的网红王某。视频中，这位“富少”频繁展示豪车、豪宅，以及所谓的投资收益截图，王先生逐渐对他的投资能力产生了兴趣。 刷了几千元礼物后，王先生进入了王某的粉丝群。然而，这只是入门， 为了获取更多所谓的“内幕消息”，王先生转账15万元，进入了所谓的“核心群”。 在这个群里， 王某会明确告诉群友们具体买哪只股票、什么时候买入。 可王先生并没有获得收益，反而频频亏损，投入的300多万元，最终亏损近100万元。 和王先生一样受害的投资人不在少数。2024年8月至2025年2月，北京证监局陆续收到有关王某的40多封举报材料，举报人累计给王某交费近500万元。北京证监局监管人员表示，其他投资者交纳费用以及买股票产生的损失，可能远高于这一数字。 调查发现， 王某没有任何证券从业资质进行所谓的“投资指导”。 根据证券法和相关规定，从事证券投资咨询业务必须取得相应资质。而王某在没有资质的情况下收费荐股， 已构成非法证券投资咨询。 在掌握初步证据后，监管部门将案件线索移交公安机关进一步侦办，“京圈富少”真实身份逐渐被揭开。 警方侦查发现， 王某的豪车、豪宅都是租的，借此为自己打造“富二代”人设， 并在直播间、微信群里向投资人透露，自己的财富来源就是通过买股票，吸引想挣大钱的投资人。 警方最终查明，受害人达到四五百人，遍布全国， 涉案金额超过1000万元。 2025年10月，北京市朝阳区人民法院 以非法经营罪判处王某有期徒刑两年六个月，并处罚金1500万元。 专家：整治不良“财经大V” 需强化全链条治理 从编造信息误导投资者，到借助流量影响甚至操纵交易，近期查处的多起案件显示，一些不良“财经大V”正借助自己的互联网影响力干扰市场运行。投资者应该如何辨别这些“陷阱”？ 律师表示，荐股本质上属于证券投资咨询业务，是金融领域的特许经营，必须取得监管许可。无论是否收费， 只要提供具体投资建议并引导交易，都可能涉嫌非法经营。 专家指出，A股投资者规模已达约2.4亿人。随着社交平台、短视频等渠道快速...

【有線新聞】台中偵破一宗大規模網上性罪行案件，揭發3名男子涉嫌在網上假扮女性，誘騙男網友進行裸聊並暗中偷拍，受害人數高達4,586人，當中包括46名未成年男童。檢方共查扣逾2萬段偷拍影片，目前已將3人起訴，並建議法院從重量刑。 台中地檢署檢察官早前接獲多名受害人報案，經追查後率先鎖定一名就讀台灣大學法律系的22歲洪姓男學生。洪男涉嫌以「美女頭像」及變聲軟件喬裝女性，透過私訊誘騙男網友「互相自慰」並暗中錄影。執法人員於去年5月採取行動拘捕洪男，並從其供詞中順藤摸瓜，揭發背後牽涉許男及陳男的犯罪網絡，隨後於去年7月及11月先後將兩人拘捕歸案。 執法人員於去年5月採取行動拘捕洪男 調查發現任職舞蹈教師的26歲許男自2017年起學習假扮女性的技巧，利用預先下載的不明女性裸露影片，配合變聲器同步發聲，營造實時互動假象。許男其後結識25歲文員陳男並傳授犯案手法，兩人隨後合作在網上「獵男」，專挑外貌俊朗及肌肉型男子下手，並將偷拍影片上傳至雲端硬碟共享及擴散。 檢警在3人的電腦及雲端空間內，合共起獲逾2萬段偷拍影片。疑犯將影片分門別類，詳細標註受害人姓名及學校等特徵，並按外貌及「稀有度」定價，以每段250至2,300元新台幣（約60至550港元）出售圖利。經點算後，確認受害者多達4,540名成年男子及46名未成年男童。由於部分影片在小眾圈子流傳，不少受害人至今仍懵然不知，導致報案率偏低。 3名男子涉嫌在網上假扮女性，誘騙男網友進行裸聊並暗中偷拍 檢方已依違反《兒童及少年性剝削防制條例》及妨害秘密等罪起訴3人，並嚴斥其行為惡劣，加劇影像散播速度，對受害人造成永久侵害，故向法院求處重刑。檢方同時提醒，性影像罪行受害人不再限於女性，男性同樣可能受害，尤其年輕族群易因一時衝動墮入陷阱，呼籲網上交友須提高警覺，對主動攀談及要求裸聊的「女網友」加倍提防。

格隆汇3月24日｜据知情人士透露，巴基斯坦正积极努力推动调解谈判，以结束美国和以色列对伊朗的军事行动。巴基斯坦陆军元帅阿西姆·穆尼尔周一与特朗普进行了通话，旨在寻求这场冲突的解决方案。其中一位人士表示，巴基斯坦正将伊斯兰堡定位为此次会谈的地点之一。该人士还称，特朗普的特别代表史蒂夫·威特科夫在此次会谈中发挥着关键作用。

The amount of AI-generated child sexual abuse material found online rose by 14% last year, with the majority of videos showing the most extreme type of content, according to a safety watchdog. The Internet Watch Foundation said it identified 8,029 AI-made images and videos of realistic child sexual abuse material (CSAM) in 2025. It added that there had been a more than 260-fold increase in videos. The IWF said 65% of the 3,443 videos were classified as category A, the term for the most severe material under UK law. The corresponding figure for non-AI videos was 43%, said the watchdog, showing that the technology was being used to create more violent content. Kerry Smith, the chief executive of the IWF, said: “Advances in technology should never come at the expense of a child’s safety and wellbeing. While AI can offer much in a positive sense, it is horrifying to consider that its power can be used to devastate a child’s life. This material is dangerous.” One IWF analyst said conversations between paedophiles on the dark web showed innovations in the technology were “regarded with delight” by users of CSAM. The discussions centre on AI systems’ increasingly realistic outputs and, as they improve, their ability to add audio to video or successfully manipulate imagery of a real child known to an offender. The UK-based IWF operates a hotline and has a global remit to monitor child sexual abuse content. It said offenders were also discussing the possibilities for using “agentic” systems, which can carry out tasks autonomously. Tech companies and child protection agencies are being given the power in the UK to test whether AI tools can produce CSAM, in a move that ministers said last year was about stopping abuse before it happened. Under the change, the government will give designated AI companies and child safety organisations permission to examine generative artificial intelligence models – the underlying technology for chatbots such as ChatGPT and image generators suc...

Shafeeq Masih* faced an impossible choice: remain trapped for ever by the debt he owed to the owner of the brick kiln where he worked, just outside the Pakistani city of Lahore, or try to pay it off by selling the only thing he had of any value: one of his kidneys. The brick kiln owner was harassing him to repay the debt, which he claimed stood at 900,000 rupees (£2,420), but however hard he worked, it just kept growing. Masih knew the owner was fiddling the books but says, “whatever they put in writing, we can’t question that. They see us as slaves. We just have to obey.” With his children to feed and elderly parents to care for, Masih could see no way out. So when a stranger turned up at the brick kiln and offered to give him 400,000 rupees for one of his kidneys, he reluctantly agreed. View image in fullscreen There are an estimated 20,000 brick kilns in Pakistan, employing as many as five million workers, the vast majority of whom are believed to be in debt bondage A short while later, he was bundled into a car and told to put on a pair of glasses covered in black tape. As he was driven away, he felt a glimmer of hope. Perhaps now he could finally rid himself of debt, and give his children a better future. But that is not how things turned out. When he awoke from the procedure, he was given 300,000 rupees, not the promised 400,000. Days later and still in pain, he returned to the brick kiln and handed all the money over to the brick kiln owner. “I hoped he would raise my wages or let me go,” says Masih, but the owner sent him back to work.

Mr Motivator is lobbying the government to tackle the number of children in the UK who have no bed of their own as Barnardo’s reveals demand for furniture from struggling families has surged by 40% in the last year. The children’s charity said beds had become“like a luxury item” as the war in Iran threatens to exacerbate cost of living pressures. Meanwhile, TV and online fitness coach Mr Motivator, real name Derrick Evans, who lives in Greater Manchester, is urging government to treat “bed poverty” as a national crisis and include it in child poverty planning. The former GMTV star said: “I have always hated the fact that it’s merged into poverty in general, which means it gets lost. “Beds can end up at the bottom of the list for families in a desperate position, and the consequences are enormous. Not having a proper bed or getting a good night’s sleep affects children’s health, their mood, their learning ability, behaviour and emotional stability.” In the first quarter of 2025, 187 households accessed Barnardo’s’ services for “essential furniture”. But from January to 16 March this year, 261 households came to the charity for beds, cots, tables and chairs, sofas, food and window coverings – a rise of nearly 40%. In 2023, polling commissioned by Barnardo’s and YouGov found 226,000 families in the UK had children sharing a bed with an adult or sibling, because of financial pressures. Ruth Welford, Barnardo’s head of special projects, said: “Families are still really struggling to meet basic needs – and I can’t imagine current events are going to make it any easier. “Beds, a fundamental right for every child, have become almost like a luxury item.” Welford said problems included children sleeping on pallets on the floor, older children in toddler-sized beds, and beds becoming mouldy in houses with no floor coverings. “There are children who aren’t dry at night sharing beds with children who are, and families don’t have the money to put the water on to wash clothes befo...

The extraordinary life of an exiled Punjabi princess, embraced by the British royal court and a goddaughter of Queen Victoria, but who would become a pioneering suffragette and challenge the very authority of the elite social circles in which she moved, is to be told in a new exhibition. Princess Sophia Duleep Singh was the daughter of Duleep Singh, the last Sikh maharajah of the Punjab. As a child he was forced to surrender his lands to the East India Company in 1849, and sign away the famous Koh-i-noor diamond, now a potent symbol of colonial exploitation and set in the crown of the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. He came to England, where he struck up a close friendship with Queen Victoria, and later married the daughter of a German banker and an enslaved Ethiopian woman, with their children growing up at Elveden Hall in Suffolk as aristocrats. The powerful story of Sophia and the five women who shaped her life – her sisters Catherine and Bamba, her mother Bamba Muller, grandmother Jind Kaur and godmother Queen Victoria – is the subject of The Last Princesses of Punjab which opens at Kensington Palace on 26 March running until November. View image in fullscreen Sophia Duleep Singh at the gate of Hampton Court Palace in 1910. Photograph: Paul Fearn/Alamy Sophia was a devoted campaigner for women’s rights. A rarely exhibited, bound volume of The Suffragette, with an image of her selling copies at the gate of Hampton Court Palace, where Victoria had granted her a grace and favour apartment, is one highlight. Her handwritten letter to Winston Churchill reporting police brutality at the Black Friday suffragette march, where she marched alongside Emmeline Pankhurst in 1910, is another. Through banners, including from the Women’s Tax Resistance League bearing the words “No Vote, No Tax” and other campaign marches, the exhibition explores how her and her sisters’ complex heritage shaped the causes they championed, telling a global story of empire, dispossession an...

The primary unit of climate collapse is the zettajoule. If you have never heard of this term, you are not alone. Even scientists who work on a planetary scale struggle to relate the immensity of the change measured by this titanic unit of energy. What is a zettajoule? A zettajoule is a billion trillion joules. Typed out on a calculator or computer screen, the row of 21 zeros looks absurdly long – a train of seven carriages, each with three empty windows. Experts often have to resort to abstract terms like “unfathomable”, “almost beyond comprehension” and “really big” to ensure our tiny human minds are sufficiently blown away by what these numbers convey. Why are zettajoules in the news (again)? When used to calculate the heat on our planet, that train is accelerating and running out of track. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned this week in its latest annual State of the Global Climate report that our world has a huge and growing energy imbalance, which is warming the oceans, the land and the air to dangerous levels. The new report says Earth’s energy imbalance increased by about 11 zettajoules a year between 2005 and 2025, which is equivalent to about 18 times total human energy use. As most of us are now well aware, the burning of oil, gas, coal and forests is releasing heat-trapping greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. This constipates the Earth system’s ability to excrete heat out into space. And the more energy gets stuck in our home, the more we – and all other forms of life – feel hot, uncomfortable and are vulnerable to heatwaves, storms, floods, droughts or fire. How quickly is the planet’s energy imbalance growing? Last year, the energy imbalance in the world’s oceans, which absorb more than 90% of solar radiation, hit a record 23 zettajoules, more than double the average of the previous two decades. Scientists have used various comparisons to put that in context. John Kennedy, the lead auth...

Eid al-Fitr is meant to bring release. It comes at the end of Ramadan, after a month of fasting and prayer, and in Gaza it has always carried its own kind of joy. The day begins with prayer. Men and boys gather in clean clothes, neighbours congratulate one another, friends embrace, and supplications rise with the first light. Families return home for breakfast, then begin the long round of visits to sisters, daughters, aunts, uncles and neighbours. Children wait for eidiya, the money given to younger relatives. Coffee is poured, sweets are shared and doors remain open. This year, the rituals remained. The feeling had gone. Sorrow seemed to stand among us. People said “Eid Mubarak”, but the words landed differently, as if everyone knew they were speaking across a vast field of absence. After breakfast with my mother and brothers, at 9.30am my three brothers and I set out and did not return until about 11.30pm. We moved from house to house on foot – transport is too difficult and unreliable. The streets were full of people observing Eid, we walked as families have always done but the lightness was missing, it felt less like celebration than a procession through loss. Our first stop was my aunt Om Majid, who had lost her daughter, son-in-law and grandson. A short walk away was my sister Ghada. Before the war, she lived in eastern Gaza. Her home is gone now. She rents a garage and lives there with her husband and children, trying to make a life inside a place never meant to hold one. People do their best to honour the day, however reduced their circumstances, and she did the same. But this improvised home carried the weight of all that had been lost. double quotation mark On Eid, families are meant to gather around those they love.

I love pasta sauces that come together while the pasta is cooking. This one is lovely and wholesome, great for when the weather starts to warm up a little, and one of those that you can make pretty much year-round. The polenta chips, meanwhile, came about when I wanted to bulk up a plate of beans without the mess (and the pan of hot oil) that comes with making chips. The polenta can be made and set ahead, either during the day or the night before, or it will sit happily in the fridge for a couple of days. Orecchiette with chickpeas (pictured above) Sub in other green veg, such as shredded cavolo nero or even sliced courgettes. You can also try adding 100g kalamata olives, pitted and torn into quarters, at the end of the cooking, to add another dimension.

A property company accused of trying to mass-evict tenants in the weeks before no-fault evictions are banned has denied doing so, saying it is simply implementing “routine and lawful tenancy management”. A statement from Criterion Capital, set up by the billionaire property magnate Asif Aziz, was issued in response to Matthew Pennycook, the housing minister, who wrote to the company to seek “urgent” answers about its plans. Criterion has reportedly sent section 21 notices, which give notice of proposed eviction, to large numbers of its tenants. At prime minister’s questions this month, the Labour MP Siobhain McDonagh said she knew of at least 130 such notices issued by Criterion at just one development, Britannia Point, in her south London constituency of Mitcham and Morden. In a letter to the directors of Criterion, seen by the Guardian, Pennycook said that if the company was seeking to remove tenants before the Renters’ Rights Act comes into force on 1 May, banning so-called no-fault evictions in England, it would be the actions of a “thoroughly unscrupulous landlord”. But in statements to the Guardian, Criterion said it was the victim of “inaccurate and politicised narratives”. The company said it had issued 87 section 21 notices across its property portfolio, amounting to fewer than 5% of its total tenants. Criterion said it was wrong to present this as mass evictions, but was instead “routine and lawful tenancy management”. While section 21 notices are usually used as notice of eviction, the company said that because the actual eviction had to be enforced by a subsequent court order, serving the notices did not amount to eviction. More than a third of households who were sent section 21 notices had moved, Criterion said, adding: “These were tenant-led decisions and we have supported them – they were not evictions.” It said: “Where tenants have expressed a wish to remain, we are actively engaging and agreeing renewed tenancy terms. The service of notice does not...

An eel fisher is to argue at the high court in Belfast that the authorities have allowed the ecological collapse of Lough Neagh by failing to take action over pollution. Declan Conlon, whose family have for generations fished the inland lake in Northern Ireland that once hosted the largest wild eel fishery in Europe, is seeking to take a judicial review against the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (Daera). He will argue the department has failed to act against polluters despite clear evidence of the ecological collapse of the lake. Lough Neagh, the UK’s largest lake by surface area, is situated in the heart of Northern Ireland and is a globally important and internationally protected site. But it is suffering from an acute environmental crisis. It is overloaded with phosphorus and nitrogen from agriculture, including farm runoff, fertilisers and animal waste, as well as from inadequate wastewater treatment facilities and septic tank leakage. The lake’s once clear, light brown waters are now green from recurrent algal blooms, which deprive the lake of oxygen and choke aquatic life. According to Friends of the Earth Northern Ireland (FoE NI), the toxins from the algae has killed swans, fish and even pet dogs. Eel fishing was suspended in 2025 and tourists have fled what should be a freshwater haven for ecological diversity and an abundance of salmon and eels. Conlon’s livelihood has been hugely affected. He argues in his judicial review that the authorities have continued to rely on on inadequate plans and unenforced pollution regimes despite the crisis facing the lake. He said he was now watching the lake die in front of his eyes. “My way of life has been destroyed by the blue-green algae and I want Daera to do whatever is necessary to stop the algae and safeguard and protect Lough Neagh, the fish, the flies and the wildlife for the benefit of future generations,” he said. “This isn’t just about my livelihood – it’s about justice for the lough...

While the number of organs donated in the UK is equal to, or better than, much of other parts of Europe per head, the NHS uses far fewer of the hearts and lungs it gets than most other countries. Just one in 10 lungs and one in seven hearts are transplanted. Some countries make use of twice as many.

Le principal choc est intervenu au printemps 2025, suite aux annonces sur une politique commerciale agressive aux États-Unis, provoquant des pics exceptionnels du VIX début avril avant une détente rapide au troisième trimestre. Les tensions géopolitiques, des épisodes de stress ciblés sur le secteur financier aux Etats-Unis et des doutes persistants sur l’évolution des politiques monétaires ont régulièrement poussé le VIX au-delà de sa moyenne historique lors du quatrième trimestre avant une nouvelle accalmie en fin d’année. Malgré ces incertitudes, le secteur des fusions-acquisitions s’est stabilisé sur un rythme comparable à celui de 2024, présentant même une hausse sensible en fin d’exercice. Activité du Groupe – Sur l’exercice 2025, les bonnes performances des fonds ABCA Opportunities et ABCA Reversion2, supérieures à 10% de rendement3, n’ont pas encore permis d’inverser la tendance sur le niveau des encours sous gestion. Ces encours s’établissent à 245M€ au 1er mars 2026, sensiblement en dessous des objectifs du Groupe. Le résultat de l’exercice 2025 présente une forte rentabilité sur les fonds propres (ROE) à près de 15%, en cohérence avec les...

ABC Arbitrage 2025 Results¹: €25.1 m ROE 2025: 14.8% | Per share distribution 2025: €0.3 4 The Board of Directors of ABC arbitrage, presided by the Chairman Dominique Ceolin, met on March 19, 2026 to approve the consolidated financial statements for the year 2025¹. Key financial data are as follows: In millions of euros Dec. 31, 2025 IFRS Dec. 31, 2024 IFRS Dec. 31, 2023 IFRS Current operating income €59.7 m €51.2 m €39.3 m Net income €25.1 m €26.8 m €16.5 m Earnings per share (EPS) €0.42 €0.45 €0.28 Return on equity (ROE) 14.8 % 16.4 % 10.6 % Equity €170 m €164 m €155 m Context – Alternating between episodes of stress and normalisation, financial year 2025 evolved in a market environment that was overall more volatile than in 2024. The main shock occurred in spring 2025, following announcements regarding an aggressive trade policy in the United States, triggering exceptional spikes in the VIX in early April before a rapid easing in the third quarter. Geopolitical tensions, targeted episodes of stress in the financial sector in the United States and persistent uncertainty over the direction of monetary policies regularly pushed the VIX above its historical average during the fourth quarter, before a further easing at year-end. Despite these uncertainties, the mergers and acquisitions sector stabilised at a pace comparable to that of 2024 and even recorded a marked increase at the end of the year. Group activity – During financial year 2025, the strong performances of the ABCA Opportunities and ABCA Reversion2 funds, with returns above 10%3, have not yet been sufficient to reverse the trend in assets under management. These assets under management stood at €245 million as at March 1, 2026, significantly below the Group’s targets. The result for financial year 2025 shows strong profitability on equity (ROE), at close to 15%, in line with the market conditions encountered. Current Operating Income, up by more than 15%, and Earnings Per Share, up by close to 19% excludi...

Second Youth-Center Gang-Rape Case Emerges As Cover-Up Fears Grow In Germany Via Remix News, A mother in Lower Saxony who found a disturbing video on her daughter’s phone that revealed that she was gang raped inside a church-run youth center by three teens, including a Syrian, Iranian, and Dutch national, in Gnarrenburg. However, once the story came out, it only grew darker, as it was revealed that staff, church officials and local authorities subsequently did everything possible to bury the story. This gang rape comes after national news reports revealed that a gang rape sexual assault occurred in another youth center in Berlin, but which was covered up because the assailants were Muslims and the youth center workers did not want to increase stigmatization. In this latest case, the woman, 43, says she first suspected something was wrong when she found a disturbing video on her daughter’s phone. It showed a girl being pinned down by a boy, filmed from behind. Confronted with the footage, her daughter was defensive, saying she had “no idea” where the footage came from and claimed, “It’s not me!” However, within days, the truth emerged in a WhatsApp message the girl sent to her mother: “Then they all did it to me and locked the door and turned on music so you wouldn’t hear anything.” The assault is alleged to have taken place in an upper room of the youth center in Gnarrenburg. The facility is jointly run by the local Protestant church and the Gnarrenburg community. Three suspects have been identified — a 16-year-old Dutch national who attends the vocational school across the street and is said to have lured the girl there via Snapchat, an 18-year-old Iranian with a substantial file at the youth welfare office, and a 15-year-old Syrian who, according to the mother, later claimed he was coerced into participating. The supervisor on duty, a part-time church deacon, later claimed he heard nothing. When the girl showed him a pregnancy test in the days that followed, he ne...

The deepening Strait of Hormuz crisis amid the war in the Middle East is choking the critical flow of not just oil but also fertilisers and perishable goods, and the Global South may face worsening food scarcity, warned the chief of a leading international business organisation. “We’re seeing the impact play out on fertilisers . A lot of people are not fully aware of the importance of the trade, particularly the shipment [of fertilisers] through the Strait of Hormuz and access,” John Denton, Secretary General of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), said. Calling the hampered flow of fertilisers a silent challenger, Denton warned that the developing world may face heavy collateral damage. Advertisement “If the unintended consequences are not visible, you won’t be dealing with them. At the moment, the issue of fertiliser is subsumed under the price of oil and fuel , but that doesn’t mean this silent challenge is going away,” he argued. “It’s emerging quite sharply as a potential crisis in developing and emerging economies which are dependent on [fertiliser] access and we’re seeing, like, a third of the supply crash,” Denton pointed out in an interview with the South China Morning Post on Friday.

3月23日晚，全球金融市场再度因美国总统特朗普的社交媒体帖文剧烈震荡。 特朗普在真实社交（Truth Social）上宣称，美国与伊朗已举行“富有成效的对话”，并将针对伊朗能源基础设施的打击计划推迟五天。 随后，欧美股市立刻走高，国际油价下挫，贵金属迅速反弹。 然而，这一说法旋即遭到伊朗方面坚决否认，伊朗 伊斯兰 议会议长卡利巴夫在社交媒体发文直指这是“假消息”，目的是“操纵金融和 石油 市场”。 就在这场“罗生门”上演之前约15分钟，原油 期货 市场惊现一笔名义价值高达5.8亿美元的异常大额交易，标普500股指期货也几乎同步放量异动。 敏感的时点、跨资产的同步，以及随后精准的消息发布，令“内幕交易”的质疑声浪迅速在华尔街蔓延。 白宫发言人库什·德赛（Kush Desai）随即出面否认，称任何未经证实的暗示都是“毫无根据且不负责任的报道”。 诡异交易 纽约时间3月23日上午6时49分至6时50分，短短一分钟内，约6200份布伦特原油和WTI原油期货合约在市场上易手，名义价值高达5.8亿美元。 据英国《 金融时报 》基于 彭博 数据的测算，这批交易在6时50分前的27秒内集中爆发。几乎在同一时刻，芝商所交易的标普500 e-Mini期货成交量也出现孤立式飙升，价格在数秒内跳涨。而此时，市场并未有任何足以触发如此剧烈波动的重大消息公布。 大约15分钟后，纽约时间上午7时04分，特朗普在社交媒体上发文，称美国与伊朗在过去两天里进行了“非常良好且富有成效的对话”，并宣布将对伊朗发电厂和能源基础设施的打击计划推迟五天。 消息一出，全球能源市场应声暴跌，布伦特原油一度重挫逾13%，跌破每桶100美元大关；美股股指期货则直线飙升，标普500期货盘前涨幅一度超过2.5%。 特朗普的言论随后被伊朗方面全盘否认。伊朗 伊斯兰 议会议长卡利巴夫23日在社交媒体发文，坚称“没有与美国举行任何谈判”，并直指所谓谈判的消息是“虚假信息”，其真实目的是“操纵金融和石油市场，为美国和以色列摆脱当前困境”。伊朗外交部发言人巴加埃也强调，伊朗过去几天虽收到部分友好国家转达的信息，但“并未与美国举行任何谈判”。 这笔5.8亿美元的异常交易，让市场参与者无法不将其与内幕交易联系在一起。一位拥有25年市场经验的对冲基金组合经理指出：“从我观察市场的直觉来看，这实属异常。周一早上没有重要数据，也没有值得抢跑的...

美国核心炼油设施突发重大事故，叠加伊朗地缘紧张局势持续升温，推动国际油价单日急速反弹。 当地时间3月23日，得克萨斯州阿瑟港的瓦莱罗（Valero）炼油厂发生爆炸并引发大规模火灾。据彭博引述知情人士消息，火灾起源于柴油加氢脱硫装置，该装置遭受严重损毁，火势蔓延至邻近的流化催化裂化（FCC）装置区域。炼厂部分设施已停运，是否全面停工尚待管理层最终决定。 同日，伊朗多处关键能源节点再次遭遇空袭。尽管美国总统特朗普刚刚宣布推迟对伊能源网络打击五天，但据当地媒体报道，当地时间3月24日早间，伊斯法罕和霍拉姆沙赫尔的两处能源设施遭到美以袭击。 报道细节显示，在伊斯法罕北部卡韦赫街（Kaveh Street），一处天然气管理大楼和一座减压站遭到袭击，导致设施部分损毁并波及周边民宅。由于伊方采取了预防性安全措施，在袭击前已将该站脱机运行，从而“防止了大规模爆炸”。 受炼油厂爆炸消息影响，加之伊朗冲突升级的最新报道形成叠加，WTI原油价格从当日盘中低点每桶85美元一路反弹，重新站上90美元，最新已升至91.63美元。 据央视新闻报道，瓦莱罗炼油厂日均加工原油约39.5万桶，是美国十大炼油厂之一，也是美国能源供应链的关键一环。目前美国汽油零售价格已突破每加仑3.90美元。分析人士指出，若该厂长时间停工，将给本已趋于紧张的能源市场带来更大压力。 加氢装置严重受损，炼厂部分停产 据央视新闻报道，事故发生于当地时间3月23日，爆炸产生的巨大冲击波震动了整个中县地区（Mid-County）的车窗。现场目击者描述，事发地点附近弥漫着臭鸡蛋气味，显示空气中存在硫磺成分。 据知情人士透露，此次火灾起源于一台柴油加氢处理装置，该装置受到严重损毁。起火位置紧邻工厂的流化催化裂化装置，目前炼油厂已部分停产，但据知情人士称，是否关闭整座工厂尚未作出决定。 多方消息显示，事故可能由工业加热设备故障引发。阿瑟港消防部门的Antonio Mitchell证实了事故发生，但表示"事故类型目前尚不明确"。瓦莱罗公司发言人表示，所有员工均已确认安全，仅有少数轻伤报告。 在应急响应层面，阿瑟港临时消防局长Louie Havens表示，初期已派遣两辆消防车前往现场，并部署危险物质处置小组。博蒙特消防部门及杰斐逊县治安官办公室协同参与救援。得克萨斯州环境质量委员会亦已派遣空气监测人员赶赴现场，对周边空气质量进行实时监控。出...

Librarians on both sides of the world are in shock over the book's mystery journey.

"You must get up in the small hours when the power comes back on to cook whatever is available. And often it doesn't contain the vitamins and proteins I need – and it definitely doesn't cover my increased appetite because of the pregnancy," she explains.

At least 66 killed in military plane crash in Colombia, head of armed forces says toggle caption MiPutumayo/via AP BOGOTA, Colombia — A military transport plane with 128 people on board, mostly soldiers, crashed shortly after taking off Monday in Puerto Leguizamo, Colombia, killing at least 66 people and leaving dozens injured, the head of Colombia's armed forces said.

In a video posted on social media, Deputy Mayor Carlos Claros said that the bodies of the victims were taken to the small town's morgue, and that the only two clinics in town treated the injured before they were flown to larger cities. Puerto Leguizamo is located in Putumayo, an Amazonian province that borders Ecuador and Peru. Sponsor Message "I want to thank the people of Puerto Leguizamo who came out to help the victims of this accident," Claros told Colombian television station RCN. Defense Minister Pedro Sánchez said on X that the plane that crashed Monday was transporting troops to another city in Putumayo.
