A suspected wartime mortar round has been safely detonated by bomb disposal officers at a Hong Kong construction site, with no evacuations needed. A source familiar with the matter confirmed to the South China Morning Post that the suspicious object workers discovered at 9.32am on Tuesday at a construction site at Kwu Tung North Multi-Welfare Services Complex was an unexploded wartime mortar round. “Since the mortar round was inside the construction site, officers on site confirmed that the surrounding area was safe, with no need for an evacuation,” the source said. Advertisement Upon receiving a report, police and Fire Services Department officers arrived at the scene to cordon off an area within a 50-metre (164 feet) radius around the site. The mortar round was 15cm (6 inches) long and 10cm wide. Officers of the force’s explosive ordnance disposal bureau decided to detonate it at 11.37am and began the task ten minutes later.

After Australia granted seven Iranian football players humanitarian visas to stay in the country, only two have decided to stay. According to human rights activists, those who left feared reprisals from the Iranian Government, but the semi-official Mehr news agency called it a "patriotic decision". The footballers had originally sought sanctuary after concerns they would face repercussions for staying silent during the country's anthem at their opening Asian Cup match.

Hong Kong authorities will announce arrangements this month for residents displaced by the deadly Tai Po blaze to return to their fire-damaged flats and collect personal belongings by the end of April, the city’s leader has said. Chief Executive John Lee Ka‑chiu on Tuesday also said the government would fully cooperate with an independent committee investigating the inferno, when asked if any officials would testify before the body as it begins hearings on Thursday. Speaking before the weekly Executive Council meeting, Lee stressed that the residents’ return must be carried out safely and in an orderly manner, adding that the process was complicated by the current lack of lift service, electricity and water supply in the buildings. Advertisement “A lot of units have been burned very severely and have structural problems, including the ceiling, walls, and beams, while some have no windows or doors and the floor is full of debris. So we have to ensure that the number of people that will be allowed to go up and down the staircase will be done safely and orderly,” Lee said. “We hope to be able to announce [our plan] this month, so that, by mid- to late April – or at least within April – we should be able to allow residents to go back.” Advertisement He also pledged support for returning families, including physical assistance for elderly residents navigating staircases and logistical help for those moving large quantities of personal belongings.

Visitors (L) dressed in kimonos look at photos they took during a visit to Sensoji Temple in the Asakusa district of central Tokyo on September 16, 2025. Richard A. Brooks | Afp | Getty Images After living in Tokyo for over a year, Karin Nordin noticed something peculiar. The hot spring towns of Kusatsu and Zao — normally packed with Chinese tourists — had thinned. "We have seen less mainland Chinese tourists in Tokyo," the 33-year-old Malaysian told CNBC after returning from Japan in early 2026. Hotel prices in tourist areas appear to have stabilized and no longer spike during holidays observed by mainland China, unlike previous years. Nordin's experience is representative of Japan's wider tourism landscape, which saw Chinese tourists stay away from Asia's third largest economy amid a diplomatic spat that started last November over comments made by Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi . Data from the Japan National Tourism Organisation (JNTO) revealed that the number of arrivals from mainland China plunged over 60% year on year in January, but overall tourist numbers were just down 4.9% year on year. In December, the number of Chinese tourists plunged 43.3% , but the overall number of tourist arrivals from all countries climbed 3.7%. Before November, mainland Chinese tourists were one of the largest groups heading to Japan. Tourists from elsewhere Where are these other tourists coming from? JNTO numbers suggest that more tourists are coming from South Korea and Taiwan — in January alone, South Korean tourist arrivals rose 21.6%, surpassing mainland China as the largest source of overseas visitors. There were almost twice as many visitors from Taiwan than from China in January, with arrivals from Taiwan up 17%.

Arpana Singh/iStock via Getty Images Pagaya ( PGY ) is a fintech company that uses AI to help banks and lenders to approve more loans, as well as connecting these loans to institutional investors rather than holding them themselves. Pagaya essentially acts as a marketplace between lenders and institutional investors who want to invest in consumer credit assets, and Pagaya gets a fee from this whole process. Pagaya is now trading at extremely low valuations, with a non-GAAP P/E of 5 and a P/S of under 1, which is in deep value territory, but the main question is whether it is a value trap. With peers trading at significantly higher values, Pagaya does seem undervalued, but with significant dilution in previous years as well as insider trading having a huge net negative (more sells than buys), it does seem that management is lacking some confidence in the business model despite being asset-light having its flaws. Despite the flaws, I believe the upcoming catalysts and valuation are worth starting a small position in Pagaya with caution; hence, I'm rating Pagaya at a 'Buy.' Pagaya's Business Model Pagaya's Business Model (Pagaya IR) The way Pagaya works is essentially having their AI models that evaluate loan applications for its lending partners, which include SoFi, Achieve , and US Bank , as fees are paid to Pagaya for using their model to originate more loans and gain new customers. From Pagaya's numbers themselves, it then essentially packs these loans and sells them to institutional investors who want to invest in asset-backed securities (ABS), as Pagaya essentially never holds the loans themselves, making it an asset-light business model. Pagaya's Funding Model (Pagaya IR) Pagaya usually never holds but does temporarily, but there are already confirmed investors before the loan even goes through, which means that the risks are on these investors rather than Pagaya. This essentially generates Pagaya 4% to 5% of revenue from fees less production costs (FRLPC), esse...

Lisa Su, chief executive officer (CEO) of Advanced Micro Devices, is scheduled to visit Samsung Electronics' production line in Korea and meet senior semiconductor division officials, industry sources said Tuesday. According to the sources, Su plans to visit Samsung Electronics' chip production complex in Pyeongtaek, around 60 kilometers south of Seoul, on Wednesday for a meeting with co-CEO Jun Young-hyun, who oversees the chip division, and Han Jin-man, head of Samsung's foundry business. Su's scheduled visit will mark her first trip to Korea since taking office in 2014. Industry watchers said the two companies are expected to discuss cooperation in the foundry segment, expanding ties beyond memory chips. Since 2025, Samsung Electronics has been supplying HBM3E to AMD's latest artificial intelligence (AI) solutions, maintaining a close business relationship. The discussions may include measures to utilize Samsung Electronics' production capacity for AMD's next-generation AI chips. Samsung Electronics may gain momentum for its foundry business should it successfully secure AMD as a new client, potentially improving profitability in the sector, which is largely dominated by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Su may also meet with Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong, according to the sources.
