維信金科實現了貸款量的快速增長 註冊用戶數量於2022年財年增至126.8百萬人

HONG KONG, Mar 24, 2023 – (亞太商訊 via SEAPRWire.com) – 中國領先的獨立在線消費應金融供應商維信金科控股有限公司（「維信金科」或「集團」；股票編號：2003.HK）發佈截至2022年12月31日止年度（「本年度」）的經審核綜合業績。

本年度， 在COVID-19疫情持續、宏觀經濟環境以及政策和監管的不斷變化的大環境下，集團仍取得符合預期的穩健經營表現。總收入錄得人民幣3,119.3百萬元，而經調整淨利潤錄得人民幣537.4百萬元。董事會建議派發末期股息每股股份10港仙。

業務回顧
COVID-19疫情相關措施的轉變對集團業務模式造成了影響。回顧年內，國內大部分時間均實施清零政策，、2022年上半年上海等城市亦實行封城措施，惟最終於年末轉為全國大幅放寬COVID-19防疫措施。

集團成功調整業務策略及模式以應對市場轉變。為確保產品可以滿足更高質量及近乎優質的目標借款人的需求及更具競爭力，集團亦對風險管理模式進行了革命性調整，以適應市場發展和行為變化。

作為以數據智能為導向的機構，集團使用動態數據分析及獲得優質的獲客渠道，不斷優化運營效率並增強其對目標客戶的識別及市場滲透。

年內，貸款實現量為人民幣521.9億元的歷史新高，較截至2021年12月31日止上年度增加了28.2%。

持續追求更高的客戶生命價值
集團持續致力改善用戶體驗，透過優化產品、服務及流程以及強化技術能力留住優質客戶。因此，年度復貸客戶貢獻了84.0%的貸款量，新借款人也有顯著增加，特別是在2022年下半年，這導致貸款量快速增長。截至年底，註冊用戶數量已增至 126.8百萬人。

為觸及更多目標客戶並與其保持緊密聯繫，集團已擴大其獲客渠道網絡及行業平台合作，並改進獲客方法，以接觸並與更多目標客戶保持聯繫。集團與 OPPO、小米和中國電信等渠道繼續實行互惠互利的合作。為改善其數字化平台的客戶體驗，集團完善了線上應用程序以及各種貸款撮合及貸後管理服務。

資產質量長期保持穩健
2022 年是充滿挑戰的一年。為確保業務能夠以最佳方式應對挑戰，集團實施了新一代的多源評分卡，並及時調整其信貸政策，以減少系統性風險。同時，調整了客戶分類，以重新平衡長期的收入和風險，擁有更有彈性的組合。

在資產質量指標，集團於2022年首次付款逾期率維持在整個行業的低水平，約為0.43%。而其一至三個月逾期率及三個月以上逾期率分別從2021年第四季度的4.01%和2.39%下跌至2022年第四季的3.53%和1.77%。

穩定的金融機構合作夥伴使集團能建立可持續的合規業務
截至2022年底，集團與92家外部資金合作夥伴建立有效合作關係，包括20家全國性股份制商業銀行、消費金融公司和信託基金，這些合作夥伴形成了一個多樣化且豐富的融資庫，以支持集團的目標。

在此基礎上，再加上第三方擔保公司及資產管理公司有能力為其資金合作夥伴提供融資靈活性及保護，集團得以重點推行純貸款撮合模式，並在貸款量及合作夥伴數量方面均實現三位數的同比增長。此外，為了加強與資金公司夥伴的關係，集團繼續合作並探索潛在的技術合作機會，並增強他們的數字化能力。

展望
展望未來，維信金科作為一家以創新為導向的科技驅動型金融公司，將努力優化業務策略及提升技術能力。除發展國內現有的消費金融業務外，集團亦將在香港、東南亞及歐洲等其他司法權區尋求投資或合作相關、互補產業的機會，以擴大及多元發展其業務。

未來，集團將繼續優化及擴寬集團的信貸解決方案，為客戶提供更好的服務，以提升品牌知名度及客戶的忠誠度及信譽度；通過不斷研發人工智能等技術，提高風險管理能力；加強與持牌金融機構合作夥伴及業務合作夥伴的長期合作；確保業務在適用的監管框架下進行，以實現業務的可持續性；審閱及評估潛在業務前景及以投資或合作中國及其他司法權區的相關或互補產業；及建立充滿活力的企業價值和企業文化，培養內部人才。

新加坡, March 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via SEAPRWire.com) — Ohmyhome有限公司（以下簡稱“Ohmyhome” 或“公司 “）（納斯達克股票代碼：OMH），一家位於新加坡的數據驅動型房地產科技公司，今天宣佈公司參加了在紐約納斯達克MarketSite舉行的收盤敲鐘儀式，慶祝其3 月21日首次公開募股的成功。

Ohmyhome是今年第一家在美國上市的新加坡公司，並成為第一家在美國上市的僅由女性創立的房地產科技公司，創造了歷史。 這一成就不僅突顯了公司的卓越增長和成功，也呈現了女性在傳統上由男性主導的房地產和科技領域里取得了重大進步。 Ohmyhome的使命是讓房屋購買、銷售和租賃的過程變得簡單、高效以及普惠。

首席執行官兼聯合創始人黃婉球Rhonda和首席運營官兼聯合創始人黃婉佩Race主持了儀式。 她們的家人、員工、合作夥伴和投資人也參與了儀式，並順利敲響了收盤鐘。

黃婉球在與黃婉佩的共同演講中說道：「今天對我們來說是一個非常重要的里程碑。 婉佩和我是姐妹。 身在一個移民家庭，在成長過程中，我們搬了20次家。 因為瞭解房屋交易中經常伴隨的美好願景和對痛點的沮喪，以及這些情緒對一個家庭的影響，我們知道必須以誠實正直的態度處理房屋交易， 而這也正是Ohmyhome所代表的價值觀。 ”

自2016年成立以來，Ohmyhome已通過其平臺交易了11,600多個房產，幫助數千戶家庭輕鬆、快速、可靠地出售或購買房屋。 Ohmyhome深受其服務客戶的喜愛，在各種社交媒體平臺上也獲得了8,000多條真實評論，是新加坡評論最多、評分最高的房地產交易平臺，平均評分為4.9星（滿分5星） 。

通過以數據驅動和以客戶為中心的方式，Ohmyhome優先考慮客戶的需求，允許房屋賣家免費發佈他們的房源，並允許賣家直接與潛在買家聯繫。 買家可以通過與Ohmyhome分享他們的偏好享受無壓力的房產搜索體驗，其專有的MATCH引擎將自動匹配供需資訊，並在買家首選的溝通管道上推送最佳房產。 與大多數其他房地產廣告門戶網站不同，Ohmyhome在確保其在新加坡的房源是真實和有效的方面付出了更多的努力，為購房者提供了尋找新家的絕佳體驗。 除了交易外，Ohmyhome還可以為購房者提供值得信賴的房屋貸款、合法產權轉讓、搬家甚至裝修服務。

希望獲取經紀人服務的客戶將可以獲得Ohmyhome的專屬超級經紀人 （Super Agents） 的虔誠服務。 值得注意的是，他們的交易量在新加坡排名前1%。 Ohmyhome的超級經紀人平均每年的交易量接近行業平均水準的11倍。

“Ohmyhome的業務是房地產交易，但其核心關乎家庭、房屋和做正確的事情，” 黃婉佩接著說道。 “我們將繼續投資建設房地產科技的未來。 請相信我們，不僅在過去和現在，更重要在未來，因為我們會把Ohmyhome推向一個新的高度。 我們的旅程才剛剛開始。 ”

WEILONG announced 2022 Annual Results

HONG KONG, Mar 23, 2023 – (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) – Weilong Delicious Global Holdings Ltd (“WEILONG” or the “Company”) (Hong Kong stock code: 9985.HK) announced its audited annual results for the year ended 31 December 2022.

In 2022, COVID-19 had a significant impact on the Chinese consumer market, causing instability in the food production industry’s supply chain, and suppressing retail consumer spending to some extent. As a leading spicy snack food company in China, WEILONG faced challenges in the production and delivery due to the resurgence of the COVID-19. Despite this, it still achieved steady performance. The Group’s adjusted net profit for 2022 was approximately RMB 913 million (RMB, the same below), representing an increase of 0.6% year-on-year (“YoY”). The adjusted net profit margin increased from 18.9% in 2021 to 19.7% in 2022. In addition, the Group continues to strengthen its research and development efforts. In the first half of the year, it upgraded its main products and product packaging, launched Latiao sharing packages suitable for home and party scenes. At the same time, it continues to optimize the consumer experience by continuously refining and enriching the product matrix based on the “multi-category single product” strategy.

The Group’s revenue in 2022 was approximately RMB 4,632 million, a slight decrease of 3.5% YoY. However, due to the increase in average selling prices of the Group’s products, the Group’s gross profit and gross profit margin both improved. The gross profit increased to approximately RMB 1,960 million, an increase of about RMB 167 million from the same period last year. The gross profit margin increased by 4.9 percentage points from 37.4% in 2021 to 42.3% in 2022.

WEILONG was successfully listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in December 2022. After deducting Share-based payment to employees, Listing expenses and Share-based payments related to Pre-IPO Investments, the Group’s profit changed to RMB 151 million. However, judging from the growth performance of the adjusted net profit and adjusted net profit margin, WEILONG remained in a stable growth trend in 2022.

The Board recommends the distribution of a final cash dividend of RMB 0.12 per share (inclusive of tax, the same below), representing approximately 30% of the adjusted net profit of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2022, besides, in order to thank investors for the support and trust in the Global Offering, the Board proposed to declare a special dividend of RMB0.12 per share, representing approximately 30% of the adjusted net profit of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2022, a total dividend of RMB 0.24 per share will be distributed for the year. However, the implementation of the recommendation is subject to approval of the annual general meeting.

In 2022, WEILONG continued to upgrade its distribution channels. In terms of the offline channels, the Company has strengthened its sales team, continuously expanded POS coverage, and improved its execution and service capabilities for key channels and stores. Through in-depth channel building over years, WEILONG has a nationwide distribution network that deeply penetrates the Chinese market. As of the end of December 2022, WEILONG cooperated with over 1,847 offline distributors. In terms of the online channels, the Company continued to strengthen its platform coverage and refined operations. At the same time, WEILONG has also actively expanded its overseas distribution network. As of the end of December 2022, WEILONG’s products are sold through distributors to more than 143 shopping malls, supermarkets, and chained convenience store operators in different countries or regions.

Mr. Liu Weiping, Chairman of the Board of WEILONG, commented, “2022 was a significant year for WEILONG. Despite faced many challenges in production, supply chain and product delivery due to the resurgence of the pandemic, the Group has actively upgraded its brand, products and digitization. Through the automation and standardization of production lines, WEILONG has effectively implemented precise quality control and reduced labor and energy costs.”

He continued, “Looking ahead, the Group anticipates a gradual rebound of the consumer market as pandemic prevention and control measures are eased and consumer confidence recovers. We will persist in enhancing brand building, consolidating marketing resources, and maintaining a brand image that resonates strongly with young consumers. While focusing on our core product categories, we will also explore new product lines, strengthen product quality to heighten core competitiveness, expand our distribution network, enhance POS coverage and service capabilities, and persist in team building. We will also reinforce our production, manufacturing, and R&D capabilities, and improve the Company’s operating efficiency. We aim to create values for our shareholders, customers, and consumers in multiple ways.”

衛龍公佈2022年全年業績

HONG KONG, Mar 23, 2023 – (亞太商訊 via SEAPRWire.com) – 中國辣味休閒食品行業龍頭和製造者，衛龍美味全球控股有限公司（「衛龍」或「集團」，香港聯交所股票編號：09985）宣佈其截至2022年12月31日止12個月經審核全年業績。

2022年，新冠疫情反覆，對中國消費市場帶來較大影響，食品生產行業供應鏈穩定營運亦受到影響，導致零售消費終端的消費力受到一定程度的壓制，衛龍作為中國領先的辣味休閒食品企業，縱使面對新冠疫情復發對生產及交付層面的挑戰，仍實現業績穩健表現。集團2022年經調整淨利潤約9.13億元（人民幣，下同），按年增加0.6%。經調整淨利潤率由2021年的18.9%，增至2022年的19.7%。另集團持續加強研發，上半年更針對主要產品及產品包裝進行了升級包括推出了適用於家庭及聚會場景的辣條分享包，同時亦圍繞着「多品類大單品」策略持續梳理和豐富產品矩陣，優化消費者體驗。

集團2022年收入約46.32億元，按年微跌3.5%，但由於集團產品的平均售價上升，帶動集團毛利及毛利率表現有所提升，毛利增至近19.6億元，較去年同期增加約1.67億元；毛利率由2021年的37.4%上升4.9個百分點，至2022年的42.3%。

衛龍2022年12月成功於香港聯合交易所有限公司主板上市，扣除向僱員支付的以股份為基礎的報酬、上市開支以及與Pre IPO有關的一次性的以股份為基礎的付款後，集團年內淨利潤為1.51億元，不過，從經調整淨利潤及經調整淨利潤率的增長表現可見，衛龍2022年仍處於穩定成長的態勢。

董事會建議派發2022年末現金股息每股0.12元（人民幣，含稅，下同），約為2022年度經調整淨利潤的30%，並為答謝投資人在其首次公開發售中給予的支持與信任，衛龍建議派發特別股息每股人民幣0.12元，約為2022年度經調整淨利潤的30%，合計派發總股息每股0.24元。惟仍須待股東週年大會批准後方可實施。

2022年，衛龍持續升級渠道。線下方面，持續強化銷售團隊，不斷擴大零售終端覆蓋，提升對重點渠道及重點門店的執行能力和服務能力；經過多年來深耕渠道建設，卫龙擁有深入滲透中國市場的全國性經銷網絡。截至2022年12月底，衛龍與超過1,847家線下經銷商合作。線上方面，集團持續加強全平台渠道覆蓋及精細化運營；同時，衛龍亦積極拓展海外經銷網絡。截至2022年12月底，衛龍的產品通過經銷商出售給不同國家或地區的超過143個購物商場、商超及連鎖便利店運營商。

衛龍董事會主席劉衛平先生表示：「2022年對於衛龍來說，是別具意義的一年，儘管公司在生產、供應鏈和產品交付等多方面，因為疫情的復發面临不少挑戰，集團依然迎難而上，積極推進品牌、產品及數字化等各方面升級，透過生產線的自動化和標準化，卫龙有效進行精細的質量控制及減少人工和能源成本。」

「展望新的一年，隨着疫情防控放寬、消費者信心的回升，集團預計將逐步推動消費市場回暖。衛龍將繼續加強品牌建設，整合營銷資源並持續打造倍受年輕消費者喜愛的品牌形象；聚焦主要產品品類的同時，開拓新產品；加強產品品質以提升產品核心競爭力；進一步拓展經銷網絡，提升零售終端的覆蓋及服務能力；並將繼續加強團隊建設，鞏固生產製造及研發能力優勢，不斷提升公司的經營效率，從多方面努力為廣大股東、客戶及消費者創造價值。」

World Blockchain Summit Set the Stage for a Decentralized Future with Ground-breaking Insights and Collaborations

DUBAI, Mar 23, 2023 – (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) – The 24th edition of World Blockchain Summit – Dubai 2023, under the patronage of HH Sheikh Juma Ahmed Juma Al Maktoum, brought over 2,000 industry leaders, technology pioneers, and institutional web3 investors, all under one roof.

The event opened with the Start-up Grand Slam Pitch Competition that featured some of the most exciting new projects entering the market and was judged by a jury comprising global investment leaders like Woodstock, Cipher, and Ghaf Capital Partners.

The winner of the competition was the public blockchain project String3.

The 2-day summit agenda featured industry pioneers like Sandeep Nailwal, the Co-Founder of Polygon Labs; Dominic Williams, the Founder and Chief Scientist of DFINITY Foundation; Sunny Lu, the Co-Founder and CEO of Vechain; Mohammad Alblooshi, the Head of Innovation Hub and Fintech Hive at DIFC; and Alex Ziner, Global Head, Ledger Enterprises, among others.

One of the most anticipated topics of discussion during the summit was decrypting the regulatory landscape of virtual assets, featuring Erwin Voloder, Senior Policy Fellow at European Blockchain Association, Jason Allegrante, Chief Legal and Compliance Officer, Fireblocks, Saqr Ereiqat, Co-Founder & Managing Director, Crypto Oasis and moderated by Dr. Sid Ahmed Benraouane, Dubai Government Advisor.

The panelists discussed the positive long-term impact of new regulatory frameworks being developed in technology hubs like Dubai that are designed specifically for Web3.

The main event of the summit was Sandeep Nailwal’s fireside chat with Kevin Soltani, CEO & Founder, of GIMA Group during which he spoke candidly about the biggest challenge for blockchain being scalability to go mainstream. However, with continued development, network effects and ZKroll-ups, a large player like Instagram can theoretically create billions of NFTs using smart contracts which opens up new horizons for blockchain adoption and a real inflection point. He went on to state, “The next frontier of DeFi will come from institutional players.”

In an interview after his fireside chat on stage, Sandeep noted, “My whole purpose of coming to this event is to meet the builders. What are they building? What are the new ideas that are coming up? What are the new trends? Because this is where you see what people are trying to do. The experience was good. It’s good to meet the community on the ground.”

In speaking of the role of events like the World Blockchain Summit, Naveen Bharadwaj, Group CEO, of Trescon, noted, “Blockchain is not just a technology, it’s a mindset that has the power to transform industries and reshape the future. At World Blockchain Summit, we’re committed to driving meaningful conversations and collaborations that will unlock the true potential of this revolutionary technology.”

Report: Record $63b raised from carbon allowance sales in 2022

LONDON – Governments globally raised a record $63 billion from the sale of carbon allowances in emission trading systems in 2022, as many countries increased ambitions to cut pollution despite record high energy prices following Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine, according to a report released on Wednesday.

Many countries and regions have launched emissions trading systems (ETS) to put a price on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and incentivize companies to invest in low carbon technology and help meet climate targets. 

The $63 billion raised from allowance auctions in 2022 was up from $59 billion in 2021, according to the report

"Instead of weakening climate ambitions, the energy crisis pushed governments towards ending their fossil fuel dependency quicker, supported by policies like emissions trading," said Stefano De Clara, head of intergovernmental forum International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP).

As of 2023 some 28 ETSs are in operation globally, covering around 17 percent of global emissions, according to the report.

Under an ETS, governments set a gradually decreasing cap on the amount of emissions that a sector, or group of sectors, can produce. They create carbon allowances for those emissions, which are auctioned, and companies must buy one for each tonne of CO2 they emit.

The $63 billion raised from allowance auctions in 2022 was up from $59 billion in 2021, according to the report.

Prices in the EU ETS, the world’s most established scheme, rose to an average of $83 a tonne, up from $65 in 2021, the report showed.

EU countries and lawmakers agreed reforms to the EU carbon market last year which will cut emissions faster and start to phase down free allowances given to industry.

The allowance price in California and Quebec, which have linked schemes, grew to $28 in 2022 up from $22 in 2021.

Health-ISAC Releases Annual Report on Current and Emerging Cyber Threats to Healthcare

ORMOND BEACH, FL, Mar 22, 2023 – (亞太商訊 via SEAPRWire.com) – Health-ISAC, a nonprofit, member-driven organization, has published its annual cyber threat report on current and emerging threat activity in collaboration with Booz Allen Hamilton Cyber Threat Intelligence.

The annual threat report enables healthcare security professionals worldwide to ensure operational resilience by enhancing situational awareness and strengthening their ability to detect, mitigate and respond to cyber threats.

Health-ISAC’s Current and Emerging Healthcare Cyber Threat Landscape report reviews and analyzes the cybercriminal, geopolitical and nation state threats healthcare organizations currently face, as well as threats on the horizon, such as product abuse and synthetic accounts. As noted in the report, an increase in connected medical devices also increases the attack surface of healthcare institutions. While newer medical device designs have improved cybersecurity controls, organizations must prepare for and defend across a broad spectrum of technology while also dealing with software end-of-life issues in legacy medical devices and the many cyber threats detailed in the report.

“Healthcare professionals can use the Health-ISAC annual threat report to not only stay ahead of the day-to-day threats facing the health sector but they can use the information strategically to communicate long-term challenges the sector is facing and help justify additional investments in cyber security spending and where more resources are needed – all in the name of improving patient safety and security,” said Denise Anderson, Health-ISAC President & CEO.

The report was published for Health-ISAC members only in February. A public, executive summary was released as part of this press announcement.

“While cyber adversaries continue to get more creative as shown in Health-ISAC’s annual threat report, simple attacks, like social engineering, are unfortunately still very effective. Information security practitioners who believed Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) was the silver bullet are now reeling from major breaches that leveraged social engineering and technical measures to defeat it,” said Errol Weiss, Chief Security Officer at Health-ISAC. “All of this spells the need for continuous awareness – we need to stay on top of new threats and attack techniques, and most importantly, active information sharing that provides for community defense that will ultimately help improve the resilience of our healthcare sector networks.”

ABOUT HEALTH-ISAC

Health-ISAC – a nonprofit, private sector, member-driven organization – plays an essential role in providing situational awareness around cyber and physical security threats to the Healthcare Sector so that companies can detect, mitigate, and respond to ensure operational resilience. Health-ISAC connects thousands of healthcare security professionals worldwide to share peer insights, real-time alerts, and best practices in a trusted, collaborative environment. As the go-to source for timely, actionable, and relevant information, Health-ISAC is a force-multiplier that enables healthcare organizations of all sizes to enhance situation awareness, develop effective mitigation strategies and proactively defend against threats every single day.

Russia summons Canadian envoy over ‘regime change’ remark

Russia's Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday it had protested to Canada's top diplomat in Moscow over comments by Canadian Foreign Minister Melanie Joly about "regime change" in Russia.

The ministry said it summoned Canadian charge d'affaires Brian Ebel on Monday and told him Joly's comments were unacceptable.

The Russian statement condemned the "Russophobic attack" and said it would have serious consequences for relations

Canadian media quoted Joly as saying at a news conference on March 10: "We're able to see how much we're isolating the Russian regime right now — because we need to do so economically, politically and diplomatically — and what are the impacts also on society and how much we're seeing potential regime change in Russia."

The Russian statement condemned the "Russophobic attack" and said it would have serious consequences for relations. Russia reserved the right to take "appropriate countermeasures" depending on Ottawa's further steps.

Ethiopia calls US accusations of war crimes ‘inflammatory’

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken (second left) meets with Ethiopian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Demeke Mekonnen (third right) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on March 15, 2023. (PHOTO / AFP)

NAIROBI – Ethiopia on Tuesday rejected a determination by the US State Department that its army, along with all sides in the recently concluded conflict in the northern Tigray region, had committed war crimes, calling the charge "inflammatory" and "untimely."

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Monday that members of the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF), its allies from the Eritrean army and Amhara regional forces, and opposing forces loyal to the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) committed war crimes during the two-year conflict.

The Ethiopian foreign affairs ministry said the US determination was "selective" since it exonerated Tigrayan forces from accusations of rape and sexual violence

Blinken's announcement came less than a week after he traveled to Ethiopia to meet with government officials and a TPLF representative. He praised progress in implementing a November truce while cautioning that more work needed to be done.

"Such apportioning of blame is unwarranted and undercuts support of the US for an inclusive peace process in Ethiopia," the Ethiopian foreign affairs ministry said in a statement.

It said the US determination was "selective" since it exonerated Tigrayan forces from accusations of rape and sexual violence.

Nevertheless, the statement said Ethiopia hoped its "strategic relationship" with the United States would be restored, echoing desires expressed by both sides during Blinken's visit to repair relations strained by the war.

The conflict, which was rooted in a power struggle between Tigray's leaders and the federal government, killed tens of thousands of people, left hundreds of thousands facing hunger and displaced millions.

Human rights violations by all sides, including extra-judicial killings, rapes, looting and displacing people by force, have been documented by UN bodies, Ethiopia's state-appointed human rights commission, independent aid groups and media including Reuters.

All sides have denied responsibility for systemic abuses.

Greta Thunberg, climate activists get court nod to sue Swedish state

STOCKHOLM – A Swedish court gave Greta Thunberg and hundreds of other climate activists the go-ahead on Tuesday to proceed with a class action lawsuit against the Swedish state for "insufficient climate policy".

Thunberg, and 600 other young activists in a group called Aurora, sued the Swedish state in November, claiming it had to do more to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius in order to live up to the European Convention on Human Rights.

The Swedish state has three months to respond to the lawsuit before the case could be heard or settled in writing, the district court said, adding it could not say when the suit might be decided

On Tuesday, Nacka District Court said the lawsuit could go ahead after the group made adjustments to the claim.

"The district court has today issued a summons in a high-profile class action lawsuit," the court said in a statement. "In the case, demands have been made for the district court to determine that the state has an obligation to take certain specified measures to limit climate change."

The Swedish state has three months to respond to the lawsuit before the case could be heard or settled in writing, the district court said, adding it could not say when the suit might be decided.

The Chancellor of Justice did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.

Aurora wants the court to decide that Sweden needs to cut emissions by at least 6.5-9.4 million tonnes of CO2 per year, starting from 2019.

"The health and future of the planet, and that of ours, is directly dependent on whether or not our politicians recognize the seriousness of the climate crisis, and so Aurora wants to do everything we can to get you to do so," the group said in an open letter to the Swedish government last year.

On Monday, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned that the "climate time bomb is ticking" as he urged rich nations to slash emissions sooner after a new assessment from scientists said there was little time to lose in tackling climate change.

Major review: London police institutionally racist and sexist

LONDON – London's Metropolitan Police is institutionally racist, misogynistic and homophobic and unable to police itself, an independent review said on Tuesday, mounting pressure on the Met's new chief to reform Britain's biggest police force.

The review was commissioned by the then-head of the Met, Cressida Dick, in 2021 after a serving officer was sentenced to life in prison for the rape and murder of Sarah Everard in a case that shocked the country and – along with subsequent instances of crimes against women – turned a focus onto the force's broader work culture.

"There is institutional racism, sexism and homophobia, inside the organization in terms of how officers and staff are treated, and outside the organization in terms of how communities are policed," the report said, adding that the force was "failing women and children".

The independent review, which was led by Louise Casey, who sits in Britain's upper house of parliament, found "severe" failings across the Met that it said will need "radical reform."

It comes over two decades after a 1999 inquiry into the murder of Black teenager Stephen Lawrence identified institutional racism within the force over its response to the killing.

The report said the Metropolitan Police needed strong leadership, a women's protection service, and a new children's strategy, among other recommendations for reform

Finding that policing by consent was broken in the capital, the review said the biggest barrier to fixing the force was the Met's culture of defensiveness and denial about the scale of its problems.

"Whichever way you look at it, whichever label or description, the evidence is absolutely clear that as an institution, are they prejudiced and discriminatory? Yes, they are," Casey told reporters ahead of the report's release.

Met Commissioner Mark Rowley, Britain's most senior police officer, told reporters: "We've let Londoners down and we've let our own frontline down and this report paints that vividly … I'm deeply sorry."

"It (the report) generates a whole series of emotions: anger, frustration, embarrassment… But most of all, it generates resolve," he added. He said the force's professional standards department had been "stepped up," and that with their help "we are sacking officers at a faster rate."

Still, he said the job was not done yet.

"I can't say I have reduced the risk of a bad officer to zero yet, but every day we're rooting people out and we're making progress," he said, when asked if there were still officers accused of crimes such as murder, rape and domestic abuse serving in the force.

The 360-page report said the force needed strong leadership, a women's protection service, and a new children's strategy, among other recommendations for reform.

Casey's interim report said last October that it found the force took 400 days on average to resolve misconduct allegations against its officers.

"I just think it (Everard's case) is so dreadful and has to be a moment that change came – (but) change didn't come. So now this report has to carry that and has to take responsibility for getting the change needed," Casey said.

公民社會團體在 2023 年「Our Ocean 大會」上發佈《全球漁業透明度憲章》

漁業透明度聯盟發佈的《憲章》為推進全球海洋治理製定了新藍圖。

巴拿馬巴拿馬城, March 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE via SEAPRWire.com) —  漁業透明度聯盟， 一個新的公民社會組織國際社會，今日發佈了《全球漁業透明度憲章》。《憲章》確定了打擊漁業管理不善、非法捕魚和海上侵犯人權行為所需最基本政策的優次。本周四和周五在巴拿馬舉行的「Our Ocean 大會」上，來自世界各地的國際組織和公司的專家、部長和代表討論了《全球漁業透明度憲章》的好處。這一各國、公民社會和行業舉行的年度大會，旨在宣佈保護世界海洋的重大行動。

加納漁業和水產養殖發展部長 Mavis Hawa Koomson 閣下說：「加納認識到透明度在打擊非法捕魚以保護生計和為我們的沿海社區提供糧食保障方面所發揮的關鍵作用」。「隨着去年加納在終止慫恿在我們水域非法捕魚的有害捕魚活動方面取得的重大進展，我們現在正努力為維持加納漁業的透明度作出更大的努力」。

美國國務院海洋、漁業和極地事務副助理國務卿 Maxine Burkett 教授強調了美國如何在提高全球漁業透明度方面發揮主導作用。

她說：「去年，拜登總統發佈了一份國家安全備忘錄，承認透明度對於打擊非法、未報告和無管制 (IUU) 捕魚以及相關的強迫勞動虐待的重要性。」「透過加強富有成效的分享資訊，《全球漁業透明度憲章》將透過改善漁業和海洋治理、增加執法力度及提高在全球範圍內終止 IUU 捕魚的目標，成為美國政府終止 IUU 捕魚活動的重要補充。」

此外，全球夥伴關係倡議，如漁業透明度倡議 (FiTI)，強調了平等、多方參與的合作關係的重要性，以提高沿海國家實現永續管理海洋漁業的透明度。

漁業透明度倡議 (FiTI) 國際理事會主席 Valeria Merino 博士說：「鑑於漁業治理的複雜性，需要採取多重透明度的努力，以應對破壞生態平衡的海洋漁業的各種挑戰，如過度捕撈、IUU 捕撈、漁業資源獲取不平等和利益分享不公平。」 

「《全球漁業透明度憲章》的十項原則承認需要對漁業透明度採取全面和協調的方法，並有可能透過急需的動員公民社會組織來支持現有的全球努力（例如 FiTI），以確保海洋捕魚活動合法、合乎道德和可持續。」

最後，Seafood Legacy（日本）首席執行官、漁業透明度聯盟督導委員會成員 Wakao Hanaoka 先生強調了公民社會在最大限度地發揮集體影響以提高透明度方面的作用。他解釋道：「我們在漁業透明度聯盟的成員資格代表了國際社會的聲音，使我們能夠加強和擴大我們在海產品行業和政府中的努力，以實現我們使日本成為環境可持續性和社會責任的全球領導者的目標」。

《全球漁業透明度憲章》透過提供一套有效且參與漁業治理和管理的所有利益攸關方都可實現的倡導原則，為在國際上推進海洋治理製定了新藍圖。

漁業透明度聯盟董事 Maisie Pigeon 評論說：「公民社會組織的持續宣傳努力對於改善國際漁業治理以及保護海洋和依賴其資源的人們至關重要。」她總結道：「透過支持我們的成員制定聯合戰略、協調和加強各種努力，以及最終消除漁業治理中的透明度政策差距，聯盟迫切需要轉向提高漁業透明度的使命將最終實現」。

漁業透明度聯盟透過世界各地的公民社會組織，號召各國政府在立法和實踐中應用《憲章》的原則。

許多當地政要、宗教領袖和文化愛好者出席了落成典禮。在健力士世界紀錄官方宣布巨型轉經輪的世界之最地位後，還授予了一塊紀念匾額以示證明。大叻 Samten Hills 代表分享感言：「這裏打造的精神文化綜合建築群將獲得越南佛教界的關注。憑藉世界上最大的轉經輪，大叻 Samten Hills 還將負責打造一個精神和文化勝地，令歷史的長河再次流淌起來，並發揚越南幾個世紀前的李陳王朝 (Ly-Tran) 時期蓬勃發展的空間建築技藝，為後世留下重要遺產。現今，這些傳承仍是越南人民精神生活重要的一部分。」

越南祖國陣線中央委員會副主席 Nguyen Huu Dzung 先生分享感言：「越南是佛教氛圍濃厚、各宗派全面匯集的國家之一。我們有南北佛教宗派、禪宗、淨土宗和密宗，還包括金剛乘。此外，越南佛教也發展出獨特的宗派，其中一些只有在越南才能見到，如竹南嚴圖禪宗 (Truc Lam Yen Tu Zen)、化緣僧 (Mendicant Buddhist) 等。它們共存共生、相互支援、相輔相成，引導人們走向真、慈、美。」

世界最大的轉經輪和大叻 Samten Hills 現已向公眾開放。歡迎遊客親身前往欣賞絕美風景，感受寧靜時刻。對於尋求沉浸在越南文化和精神以及大叻鬱蔥綠景和迷人風光中的人們來說，這將是絕佳目的地。

Singapore family cord blood bank Cryoviva upgrades to AXP II System for cord blood processing

• Widely recognised as a benchmark for volume reduction of cord blood processing, this FDA-cleared, functionally closed automated system allows for high recovery rate of mono-nuclear cells (MNCs) with greater safety and better quality, benefiting families storing their child’s cord blood.

Singapore, Mar 21, 2023 – (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) – Cryoviva Singapore, reputed to be among the top family cord stem cell banking companies in Southeast Asia, is making a significant upgrade to its cord blood processing capability with a switch to the AXP^® II system.

The fully automated and programmable cell separation and recovery system, that allows for a fast and reproducible separation of cord blood in a sterile environment, reduces human error, accurate processing without damage to the cells and delivers consistent results. The AXP^® II system, which has received both the CE mark and FDA 510K clearance, complies with good tissue practices (cGTP) and good manufacturing practices (cGMP). Globally, the system has already processed over a million cord blood units (CBU).

Designed to provide high-quality stem cell concentration from cord blood, the AXP^® II system has demonstrated viable CD34⁺ stem cell recovery of >97% that is higher than most other known available systems. Moreover, CBUs processed with this system are seen to be richer in MNC than units that are conventionally processed with similar total nucleated cells (TNC).

“We are excited to be upgrading to the AXP^® II system, which we believe provides the best outcomes for both our customers and us. Not only will our customers benefit from the quality and consistency of cord blood processing, but the system will also enhance the efficiency of our lab operations significantly with complete automation and software-driven tracking capabilities,” said Dr.Toh Keng Kiat, Medical Director.

“Cryoviva Singapore is committed to provide our customers with quality that is of the highest standard. Our upgrade to the AXP^® II system is another investment towards that goal. The faster speed and efficiency accorded by the system’s capabilities will also improve our scalability and help us serve even more families. We will continue to invest in technologies and systems that will help us fulfil our mission to enable every family to discover the miracle of cord stem cells,” said Rajesh Nair, CEO of Cryoviva Singapore.

Report: Kremlin told officials to stop using iPhones

Russian President Vladimir Putin (left) listens to Sergei Kiriyenko, the Kremlin's first deputy chief of staff in charge of domestic politics during a meeting on the development of local self-government in Kirov, Russia on Aug 5, 2017. At a Kremlin-organized seminar for officials involved in domestic politics, Kiriyenko told Russian officials involved in preparations for Russia's 2024 presidential election to stop using Apple iPhones by April 1, Kommersant said, citing unidentified sources.

MOSCOW – The Kremlin told officials involved in preparations for Russia's 2024 presidential election to stop using Apple iPhones because of concerns that the devices are vulnerable to Western intelligence agencies, the Kommersant newspaper reported.

At a Kremlin-organized seminar for officials involved in domestic politics, Sergei Kiriyenko, first deputy head of the presidential administration, told officials to change their phones by April 1, Kommersant said, citing unidentified sources.

When asked about the issue on Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he could not confirm the report

"It's all over for the iPhone: either throw it away or give it to the children," Kommersant quoted one of the participants of the meeting as saying. "Everyone will have to do it in March."

When asked about the issue on Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he could not confirm the report.

"Smartphones should not be used for official business," Peskov told reporters. "Any smartphone has a fairly transparent mechanism, no matter what operating system it has – Android or iOS. Naturally, they are not used for official purposes."

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Kremlin may provide other devices with different operating systems to replace the iPhones, Kommersant said, adding that the order to cease using iPhones had been directed at those involved in domestic politics – for which Kiriyenko is responsible.

President Vladimir Putin has always said he has no smartphone, though Peskov has said Putin does use the Internet from time to time.

Shortly after Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine last year, US and British spies claimed a scoop by uncovering – and going public with – intelligence that Putin was planning to a special military operation. It is unclear how the spies obtained such intelligence.
