Malaysia’s national petroleum company Petroliam Nasional Bhd is seeking access to a major gas field in Turkmenistan, Bernama reported , citing Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim . A deal would require Anwar’s personal involvement in signing the agreement, but a trip to Turkmenistan may be politically tricky for the prime minister because of the upcoming state elections, according to the report. There is a Malaysian delegation traveling to the country in mid-June, Ibrahim said. “But for the country, I have no choice. I will go (to Turkmenistan). And hopefully, we can secure large gas reserves in the region,” the prime minister said. Petronas’ effort to win access to new gas fields is in line with the government’s goal of strengthening Malaysia’s position in the global energy industry, the report said, citing Anwar’s speech at a local election campaign.
OpenAI is readying a major platform overhaul ahead of its highly anticipated IPO later this year to better compete with rivals such as Anthropic, the Financial Times reported.

OpenAI is readying a major platform overhaul ahead of its highly anticipated IPO later this year to better compete with rivals such as Anthropic, the Financial Times reported. The San Francisco-based company plans to transform ChatGPT from a standard question-and-answer chatbot into a comprehensive “superapp,” with changes set to roll out in the coming weeks, the newspaper reported, citing current and former employees who weren’t identified. The strategy is being driven by the conviction that the future of AI belongs to autonomous agents capable of executing complex, multi-step tasks — such as booking travel or managing calendars — rather than simply answering queries. The reorganization will involve a redesign of the company’s website and mobile app interface, adding new coding tools, image generation and applications built by partners, such as Canva and Booking.com, the newspaper said . OpenAI’s software-writing product, Codex, saw its active user base increase six fold to more than 5 million weekly since its launch. The company’s 2 million business customers account for roughly 40% of revenue, a figure that could rise to 50% by the end of the year, the FT said. OpenAI has sidelined some consumer-focused initiatives, such as a video-generation product launched less than a year ago, to focus on the reorganization, according to the newspaper. The Information reported on June 3 that OpenAI is planning to combine Codex and ChatGPT into a so-called superapp in the coming weeks.

Pope Leo XIV walks along Alcala Street during the Corpus Christi procession following the Holy Mass held in the Plaza de Cibeles in Madrid on June 7, 2026. Pope Leo XIV is visiting Spain June 6-12 with stops in Madrid, Barcelona, and the Canary Islands, where he will meet with migrants and organizations dedicated to helping them. Cesar Manso | Afp | Getty Images Over a million people filled the streets near one of Madrid's main squares on Sunday to join Pope Leo for an outdoor Mass, likely to be the largest event of his week-long visit to Spain, where the pope said God stands with society's poor and forsaken. Throngs of people pressed along barriers near the landmark Cibeles Square, waving flags and shouting "Long live the pope," as Leo arrived in his white popemobile for the event. Some tossed flower petals as he arrived in the square. Some 1.2 million people were in the square and its surrounding streets, the Vatican and local organizers said. Leo urged the crowds to live their Catholic faith by helping others in his sermon for the Mass. He said that God "identifies with the poor, the downtrodden, those who are alone and forsaken." The pope also expressed hope earlier that Madrid would "remain a welcoming and inclusive city, where social life is inspired by genuine human values" in a message in a guestbook as he was handed the key to the city by its mayor. Leo began his trip on Saturday with meetings with migrants and the homeless, and with a vigil attended by about 600,000 young people in Madrid. His June 6-12 visit also includes stops in Barcelona and the Canary Islands, where he will meet migrants who have risked their lives crossing there from West Africa. Pope Leo XIV waves from the popemobile in the Plaza de Colon, on June 7, 2026, in Madrid, Spain. Pope Leo XIV walks through the streets before officiating at a Mass and subsequent Eucharistic procession in the capital.
