特朗普警告伊朗“潜伏小组”威胁,加拿大被指控窝藏该政权特工

(SeaPRwire) -   在唐纳德·特朗普总统近期警告称伊朗“潜伏小组”可能在北美活动后,加拿大反对党议员指责其政府允许与德黑兰政权有关联的人员滞留国内。特朗普周三表示,美国当局正在监控近年来被认为进入美国的伊朗网络。“我已(听取了简报),很多人通过拜登愚蠢的开放边境进入美国,”特朗普在回应彼得·杜西的提问时说,“但我们知道他们大多数人的位置。我们正密切关注所有人。”这番言论发表之际,西方安全官员对伊朗针对海外批评者的情报活动的担忧日益加剧。在加拿大,保守党高层表示,尽管已识别出与德黑兰有关联的人员,政府仍未对伊朗政权官员采取行动。保守党副领袖梅丽莎·兰茨曼、影子移民部长米歇尔·伦佩尔以及保守党魁北克事务负责人皮埃尔·保罗-于斯在渥太华发布的一份声明中,呼吁自由党政府在一周内提交一项计划,立即采取行动阻止伊朗政权在加拿大的活动。“自由党多年来已知晓加拿大境内有数百名伊朗政权官员,其中239人的签证已被”取消,这些议员表示。他们补充称,政府官员近期向议会移民委员会表示,由于法律障碍——包括庇护申请、缺乏直飞伊朗的航班以及隐私保护——目前仅 deported 一人。“伊斯兰共和国特工在加拿大的存在并非新问题,”玛丽安·沙里亚特马达里告诉 Digital。 沙里亚特马达里是反对伊朗强制头巾法的“革命街女孩”抗议活动的代表人物之一,她在入狱后逃离伊朗,现流亡加拿大。 “多年来,伊朗民众一直对这些人及其子女在加拿大的存在表示担忧,”沙里亚特马达里补充道。 “一个明显的例子是马哈茂德·礼萨·卡瓦里和马扬·阿拉加,他们是已知的贪污犯,”她声称。Iran Wire 2022年报道了这起案件。“令人震惊的是,一家介绍企业家的经济杂志将马哈茂德·礼萨·卡瓦里(伊朗梅利银行前首席执行官、伊朗国内被定罪的罪犯)的儿子描述为加拿大‘鼓舞人心的商人’,并称其为‘年轻领袖’。“但如今我们看到更多这样的人,”沙里亚特马达里补充道,“他们的存在变得更加显眼,正以‘反对战争’为口号组织集会,同时表达对哈马斯和真主党的支持。与此同时,他们对伊朗民众的遇害完全保持沉默。”流亡伊朗记者、现居加拿大的迈赫迪·加迪米告诉 Digital,与伊朗政权有关联的人员通常通过多种渠道进入西方国家。 “一些人以学生、学者或普通移民身份入境,但已通过家庭关系或意识形态关联与伊斯兰革命卫队(IRGC)建立联系,”他说,“他们常试图识别活动人士和批评者,使这些人在伊朗甚至海外面临法律或司法问题。”加迪米表示,另一类人主要通过与政权相关的金融网络运作。 “另一群体包括曾是伊斯兰革命卫队或其他国家机构成员,后以私人投资者身份进入加拿大等国的人,”他说,“当有人携带数百万美元投资时,这笔钱的来源值得质疑。”他补充称,转移资本到海外的富裕商界人士可能也获得了伊朗安全机构的批准。 “如果有人从伊朗转移大量资金并在海外投资,没有伊斯兰革命卫队和伊斯兰共和国安全机构的批准,这几乎不可能实现,”他说。加迪米还提到了过去涉及伊朗官员向海外转移巨额资金的腐败丑闻,包括卡瓦里案——卡瓦里在伊朗一起重大银行丑闻后逃离,最终定居加拿大。 这一批评正值加拿大警方调查伊朗异见人士马苏德·马苏德的失踪事件。马苏德是数学家、伊朗宗教领导层的批评者,今年早些时候在不列颠哥伦比亚省本拿比市失踪。据《卫报》报道,加拿大综合凶杀案调查小组的调查人员表示,证据显示马苏德可能是谋杀受害者,但当局尚未公开指认嫌疑人,调查仍在进行中。警方称,调查人员正在审查马苏德的背景和个人历史作为调查的一部分,加拿大媒体报道指出,当局正在调查其过去的某些方面,以确定可能的动机。这起案件加剧了加拿大伊朗侨民的担忧,许多侨民多年来一直警告称伊朗会监控并恐吓海外批评者。保守党认为,移民执法的漏洞使得与伊朗政权有关联的人员尽管被渥太华实施签证禁令和制裁,仍得以滞留加拿大。他们呼吁政府紧急执行对伊朗政权官员的驱逐令,切断与德黑兰相关的金融网络,并建立拖延已久的外国影响登记册,以揭露为外国政府工作的特工。“自由党今天就可以在我们自己的边境内对伊朗政权采取行动,”他们在声明中表示,“事关重大。我们期待一周内看到计划。” “这并不复杂。伊朗政权绝不能在加拿大找到避风港,”兰茨曼说。加拿大政府指示 Digital 联系加拿大边境服务局,但该局未回应置评请求。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Founders Metals Upgrades Lower Antino to Advanced Target; Hits 65.9 m of 1.16 g/t Gold

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 12, 2026) - Founders Metals Inc. (TSXV: FDR) (OTCQX: FDMIF) (FSE: 9DL0) ("Founders" or the "Company") announces that Lower Antino has been upgraded from Intermediate to Advanced Target status - the same internal classification* as Upper Antino - at its Antino Gold Project in southeastern Suriname (Figure 1). The upgrade follows cumulative drilling of 50 diamond drill holes including eight new holes reported here that continue to demonstrate broad, continuous gold mineralization, highlighted by 65.9 metres (m) of 1.16 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) within a broader envelope of 115.0 m of 0.83 g/t Au from surface in drill hole LA046.HighlightsLower Antino upgraded to Advanced Target status with 50 drill holes released to date with an additional 10 holes pending assays and further expansion drilling underwayBest intercept to date: 65.9 m of 1.16 g/t Au within 115.0 m of 0.83 g/t Au from surface (LA046)Broad mineralized envelopes confirmed: 113.5 m of 0.34 g/t Au from surface including 30.0 m of 0.82 g/t Au (LA044)Intrusion-hosted gold mineralization intersected in all eight drill holes reported in this release; mineralization remains open along strike and at depthColin Padget, President & CEO, commented, "Lower Antino's upgrade from Intermediate to an Advanced Target - now sharing the same classification as Upper Antino - reflects consistent, broad gold mineralization across a growing number of drill holes. LA046 returning 65.9 metres of 1.16 g/t gold within a 115-metre mineralized envelope is the best intercept to date at this target and underscores the scale and continuity of the Lower Antino intrusion-hosted gold system. With gold in every hole and consistently wide intercepts, Lower Antino is emerging as a meaningful contributor to the district's overall potential. While our focus remains on exploration and expansion drilling, Lower Antino's advancement to the same classification as Upper Antino means it is expected to be considered for inclusion in any future resource estimate for the district."Lower Antino - Upgraded to Advanced TargetThe Company reports assay results from eight diamond drill holes (LA043 to LA050) at the Lower Antino target, located approximately 3.5 km east of the Upper Antino deposit (Figure 1). All eight holes intersected gold mineralization, with results highlighted by 65.9 m of 1.16 g/t Au within 115.0 m of 0.83 g/t Au in LA046 (Table 1). The 115-metre intercept in LA046 begins at surface and represents an up-dip expansion of the previously released 90.0 m of 1.02 g/t Au in LA041, confirming the continuity and growth potential of the mineralized zone.Based on cumulative drilling results, Founders has upgraded Lower Antino from Intermediate Target to Advanced Target status, ranking it on the same tier as Upper Antino in terms of overall target quality and scale potential. The upgrade reflects the demonstrated continuity of gold mineralization across numerous drill sections and identification of multiple parallel, northeast-trending mineralized zones over approximately 1.9 km of drill-defined strike length within a broader 1.5 km by 2.8 km gold-in-auger anomaly.The target is open along strike and at depth with drilling ongoing to the south and southeast at regular 100 to 200 metre steps. Overall, gold mineralization remains consistent with previous Lower Antino drill results and is hosted in intensely sericite-altered, sheared tonalite with disseminated pyrite and quartz-pyrite veining. The southernmost hole in this release (LA050), intersected 24.0 m of 0.57 g/t Au and represents approximately 200 metres of southward expansion of the mineralized system. Assay results are presented in Table 1, with drill hole locations in Table 2.Lower Antino is one of two Advanced Targets within Founders' 102,360-hectare contiguous land package, which hosts eight drill tested gold targets across the 55 km long Antino concession. The upgrade of Lower Antino adds meaningful scale to the Company's growing inventory of drill-defined gold mineralization at the district level. The Company will continue to systematically advance and upgrade high-quality targets as defined by geological criteria linked to scale and growth potential.*The Company's internal target classification system reflects drill density, demonstrated continuity of mineralization, and data sufficiency; it does not correspond to NI 43-101 resource categories.Figure 1: Antino Gold Project Property MapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7574/288304_571962fb64ca9a3d_001full.jpgFigure 2: Lower Antino Plan MapTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7574/288304_571962fb64ca9a3d_002full.jpgFigure 3: Lower Antino cross-section through central gold trend.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7574/288304_571962fb64ca9a3d_003full.jpgTable 1: Lower Antino Drill ResultsDrillholeFrom (m)To (m)Interval (m)Au (g/t)Results from This ReleaseLA043162.00174.0012.001.56incl.167.00174.007.002.56LA0441.50115.00113.500.34incl.8.1038.1030.000.82LA0450.0020.1020.100.31and111.00124.0013.000.44LA0460.00115.00115.000.83incl.41.10107.0065.901.16LA0470.008.108.100.94and149.00156.007.000.46LA0480.0027.6027.600.22and173.00178.005.000.80LA0496.6011.104.500.21LA05047.1071.1024.000.57Previously Released Highlight ResultsLA041156.00246.0090.001.02incl.176.00178.002.0028.44LA00374.10156.0081.901.00incl.106.00132.0026.002.36LA0250.00241.00241.000.27incl.0.0086.1086.100.43LA03329.1060.0030.901.56LA02472.00122.0050.001.02LA028108.00163.0055.000.64incl.110.00117.007.002.32LA0190.0065.0065.000.49incl.44.1065.0020.901.11LA01033.6057.6024.001.23 **Intervals are down-hole depths.

中国通过“民族团结”法以推动同化

(SeaPRwire) -   中国最高立法机关周四通过了《民族团结进步促进法》,将北京长期以来加强国家认同和民族融合的努力正式纳入法律。该立法是在第十四届全国人民代表大会第四次会议的闭幕会上通过的,此次会议是全国人大在北京举行的年度会议。官方媒体新华社(Xinhua)此前报道称,该法将把“铸牢中华民族共同体意识”纳入国家政策。它还将推动少数民族人口较多地区的高质量发展,并促进官员所说的中国56个民族的共同富裕。全国人大常委会副委员长李鸿忠表示,该措施旨在推进民族事务治理法治化。据美联社(The Associated Press)翻译,该法规定:“各民族人民、全国所有组织和团体、武装力量、各政党和社会组织、各企业,必须依照宪法和法律铸牢中华民族共同体意识,并承担起建设这一意识的责任。”据美联社(AP)报道,学者和外部观察人士表示,该条款要求义务教育中使用普通话,并为追究境外被认为破坏“民族团结”的个人或组织提供法律依据,这可能会削弱少数民族的文化认同。根据国家统计局2021年发布的第七次全国人口普查数据,截至2020年11月,中国人口为14.4亿。其中,汉族占91.11%,少数民族占8.89%。澳大利亚拉筹伯大学(La Trobe University)教授詹姆斯·莱博尔德(James Leibold)告诉美联社(AP),这项新措施“给该党最初关于有意义自治的承诺钉上了棺材钉”。哈佛大学(Harvard University)法律学者拉伊汗·阿萨特(Rayhan Asat)也批评该法称,它“是一种战略工具,为政府实施各种人权侵犯行为提供了借口”。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

在伊朗与真主党(Hezbollah)协同发动导弹和无人机袭击后,以色列进行反击,并敦促贝鲁特控制恐怖分子

(SeaPRwire) -   耶路撒冷:伊朗的代理人真主党(Hezbollah)在夜间至周四向这个犹太国家发射了约200枚导弹和无人机,以色列媒体将此描述为“真主党与伊朗的联合攻击”。这些攻击引发了以色列国防军对贝鲁特郊区真主党据点的猛烈报复性打击。以色列国防军表示:“在真主党恐怖组织代表伊朗政权蓄意决定攻击以色列之后,以色列国防军正坚决地对其采取行动。以色列国防军不会容忍对以色列平民的任何伤害,并将对任何针对以色列国的威胁进行强力回应。”这个恐怖组织将其新行动命名为“被吞噬的稻草”(Eaten Straw),并宣称已对特拉维夫郊区等地的以色列军事据点发动了攻击。华盛顿研究所(Washington Institute)研究真主党的顶尖学者马修·莱维特(Matthew Levitt)谈到“被吞噬的稻草”时表示:“这个词源自《古兰经》中的一节经文,描述将敌人摧毁到像稻草壳一样被消灭的程度。事实上,这将引发以色列的大规模回应。”就在周三袭击发生的前几天,黎巴嫩总统约瑟夫·奥恩(Joseph Aoun)指责真主党将黎巴嫩推向“第二个加沙”的境地。以色列阿尔玛研究与教育中心(Israel Alma Research and Education Center)的安全专家萨丽特·泽哈维(Sarit Zehavi)告诉 Digital:“我认为真主党试图吓唬以色列,阻止其发动进一步行动,我真心希望我们不会害怕,我们的政府会采取必要行动。”黎巴嫩武装部队也未能在特朗普总统设定的2025年期限内解除真主党恐怖组织的武装。据《以色列时报》(Times of Israel)援引新闻网站Y-Net的报道,黎巴嫩政府周二宣布有兴趣与以色列进行直接对话,以结束与真主党的当前冲突,但一名以色列官员称贝鲁特“根本无法影响真主党的行为”。以色列常驻联合国代表丹尼·丹农(Danny Danon)周三在纽约向联合国安理会成员表示:“黎巴嫩现在面临两个选择:要么黎巴嫩政府采取实际行动约束真主党,要么以色列动用武力摧毁这个恐怖组织。没有其他选择。”出生于黎巴嫩的以色列真主党问题学者埃迪·科恩(Edy Cohen)认为黎巴嫩政府向以色列发出的和解信号是政治作秀。他提到2006年以色列与真主党之间的战争,这场战争以联合国安理会第1701号决议告终,该决议要求黎巴嫩政府和军队解除真主党的武装,但这一努力失败了。科恩告诉 Digital:“我不相信黎巴嫩政府。这是他们和真主党之间的一场游戏。自1982年以来,黎巴嫩首次提出愿意与以色列对话。第一个条件是停火。是真主党让黎巴嫩政府向以色列提出这个提议的。真主党想停止这场战争。这就是黎巴嫩政府在拿我们开玩笑的方式。”据《国家报》(The National)报道,黎巴嫩大使艾哈迈德·阿拉法(Ahmad Arafa)周三在联合国安理会会议上发言时表示:“黎巴嫩人民不希望发生战争,黎巴嫩政府正在推进决策的实施,不会退缩。”据《国家报》报道,阿拉法说:“在我们的现代历史上,没有一届黎巴嫩政府表现出如此的勇气和决心,去恢复国家权力,将武器限制在合法的国家机构手中,并通过自身力量将国家的控制范围扩展到黎巴嫩全境。”一名以色列官员告诉《以色列时报》:“黎巴嫩政府需要掌控自己的国家,否则贝鲁特的真主党控制区很快就会变得像加沙一样。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

华通金融携手清华大学共建AI与金融科技联合实验室

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 2026-03-12 / 20:30 UTC+8 3月11日,于纳斯达克挂牌的金融科技公司华通金融宣布,与清华大学交叉信息研究院关联企业 X-Tech 以及 AI 技术公司 PandaAI 达成合作。三方将共同成立“AI与金融科技联合实验室”,探索 AI Agents在真实交易场景中的应用。   从“工具”到“伙伴”:AI如何重新定义金融决策 传统的AI应用多为“辅助型工具”——它们可以回答问题、提供数据、生成报告,但最终的决策和执行仍需由人类完成。AI Agents引领的是一次质的飞越:它的形态不再局限于被动响应指令的程序,而是具备目标理解、自主规划、动态执行与任务闭环能力的“智能体”。 在金融场景中,自主执行交易的AI Agents不仅会看K线、懂财报和读新闻,更要理解宏观经济、市场情绪、资金流向,甚至地缘政治等因素与金融市场的相关性。它被期待成为经验丰富的交易员,在瞬息万变的市场中独立完成从分析、研究,判断到执行的完整闭环。 而华通金融此次与清华的合作将致力于让AI Agents具备多维度分析能力和自主执行交易能力,包括:实时解析宏观经济数据与政策动向;融合新闻情绪与社交媒体舆情;对数千只股票进行基本面与技术面扫描;自动生成交易策略并进行回测验证。最终,AI Agents不仅能向用户解释决策依据,还能执行交易指令。 联合实验室将由清华大学交叉信息研究院的李建教授亲自挂帅。作为AI交易领域的顶尖学者,李建团队将提供前沿的算法研究支持;PandaAI则贡献基于量子理念启发的新型AI方法;而华通金融将开放其安全的交易系统和真实的金融运营场景,为自主执行交易的AI Agents的训练与验证提供关键数据和落地通道,作为纳斯达克上市公司, 其交易系统已经过多项安全验证。   AI技术推动投资工具普及:当量化交易不再局限于机构 长期以来,量化交易与AI投资策略是机构投资者的“专利”。他们拥有庞大的研究团队、昂贵的数据和稀缺的算力资源,能够通过模型捕捉市场波动中的潜在机会。而个人投资者往往只能依赖碎片化的信息和有限的分析工具,在这场“算法战争”中处于劣势。 华通金融旨在利用自主执行交易的AI Agents打破这一格局。这些具备自主交易能力的AI Agents有希望帮助用户在无编程或量化知识背景的前提下,亦可以用自然语言完成投资指令下达,而此后的宏观分析、行业比较、个股筛选,并执行交易等关键环节均由AI Agents自主完成。这项研究的意义在于令个人投资者有机会拥有接近机构级别的投研能力和量化交易团队。此外联合实验室还将重点研究AI Agents在实时风控、合规检查中的应用,确保智能交易系统在复杂市场环境下具备安全性和稳定性。 华通金融董事会主席周凯表示:“此次合作是增强我们的技术能力,并帮助个人与专业投资者把握AI驱动金融这一快速发展的领域,让AI Agents真正理解市场运行的深层逻辑,帮助全球用户做出更明智、更及时、更安全的决策。”   未来图景:每个人都拥有自己的“量化交易员” 全球资本市场正经历一场深刻的范式转移。曾经,信息与技术的壁垒将大多数人挡在门外;而今天,自主执行交易的AI Agents正在将“智能金融”的钥匙交到每一个人手中。 全球资本市场正迎来技术普惠的新阶段,AI正将专业投资工具带入更多普通人的视野。试想,用户只需对AI Agents说“我想配置一些低波动的科技股,预算2万美元,持有6个月”,AI Agents即可自动筛选符合条件的标的、评估当前估值水平、生成投资组合建议,并在用户授权后交易,且持续监控组合风险。 华通金融此次携手清华打造可自主执行交易的AI Agents,不仅是寻求技术突破,更是在宣示:金融的未来,不应只是机构的专属游戏。当AI Agents走出高墙、当智能交易融入日常,每一位普通人都将有机会,以前所未有的方式理解并参与这个时代最复杂的市场。   提示:任何投资均存在风险,AI模型并不保证绝对盈利 2026-03-12 此财经新闻稿由EQS via SeaPRwire.com转载。本公告内容由发行人全权负责。原文链接: http://www.todayir.com/sc/index.php

Hitachi to deliver the world’s first 550 kV gas-insulated switchgear in which the entire equipment is SF(6)-free to Chubu Electric Power Grid

TOKYO, Mar 12, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi, Ltd. announced today that it has received an order from Chubu Electric Power Grid for Hitachi Energy’s EconiQⓇ 550 kilovolt (kV) sulfur hexafluoride (SF6)-free gas-insulated switchgear (GIS). This is set to be the world’s first project with 550 kV GIS*1 in which the entire equipment is SF₆-free.*1 In gas-insulated switchgear, all components are housed in fully sealed gas‑insulated compartments to reduce the substation size and protect the equipment from storms and other external interference.The EconiQ 550-kV GIS reduces CO2-equivalent emissions from the insulating gas by 99 percent compared with conventional SF₆‑insulated equipment. By delivering this technology, Hitachi will support Chubu Electric Power Grid in making Japan’s transmission network sustainable.For decades, SF6 gas has been widely used in power grids due to its excellent insulation properties and switching performance. However, it has a global warming potential 24,300 times higher than CO2 and remains in the atmosphere for more than 1,000 years if released. Many governments are now introducing regulations to phase out new SF6–based equipment to address climate change. Currently, Japan has no regulations on eliminating SF6 gas equipment.As Japan's electricity demand rises with increased electrification and the growth of data centers, the need to reinforce the grid while reducing greenhouse gas emissions becomes more urgent. SF6-free switchgear, such as Hitachi Energy's EconiQ technology, offers the solution to this twofold challenge – combining proven reliability and compact design with the lowest carbon footprint.In 2024, Chubu Electric Power Grid announced its policy on adopting SF₆‑free equipment for each voltage class and decided to introduce SF₆‑free GIS for voltages up to 77 kV, as well as SF₆‑free circuit breakers rated 275 kV and above. In line with the adoption policy defined in 2024, and with the aim of accelerating its efforts toward achieving carbon neutrality, Chubu Electric Power Grid has now chosen to deploy SF₆‑free equipment for 550 kV GIS. This equipment will be used in its backbone transmission network.Hitachi Energy launched its EconiQ high-voltage portfolio in 2021 to support the industry’s transition to SF6-free technologies. EconiQ products eliminate greenhouse gas emissions by replacing SF6 gas with an eco-efficient alternative while maintaining the same performance, size, safety, and reliability as conventional SF6-insulated equipment.About Hitachi, Ltd.Through its Social Innovation Business (SIB) that brings together IT, OT (Operational Technology) and products, Hitachi contributes to a harmonized society where the environment, wellbeing, and economic growth are in balance.

Honda Announces Losses Associated with Reassessment of Automobile Electrification Strategy; Revision to Forecast for Consolidated Financial Results; and Future Direction

TOKYO, Japan, Mar 12, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda) today announced that it has made a decision to cancel the development and market launch of three EV (electric vehicle) models that had been planned for production in North America. This decision was made as part of the reassessment of the company’s automobile electrification strategy due to various factors including recent changes in the business environment.Consequently, Honda now expects to record losses in its consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2026, resulting in the revision of previously announced forecasts for the consolidated financial results for the fiscal year. More details and background of the decision and revisions made to the fiscal year forecasts are explained below.Automobile electrification strategy to date and changes in the business environmentSetting a goal to realize carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities Honda is involved in by 2050, and due to a major policy change in the U.S. seeking to accelerate the transition to EVs, Honda undertook a major strategic shift toward the popularization of EVs based on its belief that EVs will be the optimal solution to realize carbon neutrality especially for small-size mobility products, including passenger cars, from a long-term perspective.Honda had been making steady progress in pursuit of EV adoption by leveraging its stable earnings base provided by existing gasoline and hybrid vehicle business based on technologies and know-how amassed through the development of hybrid models over many years, and motorcycle and financial services businesses with a solid customer base.However, the profitability of Honda automobile business is currently declining due primarily to 1) the unfavorable impact of changes in U.S. tariff policies on the gasoline and hybrid vehicle business and 2) a decline in the competitiveness of Honda products in Asia due to the impact of the allocation of more resources to EV development.In addition, the automobile business environment surrounding Honda is undergoing significant changes, and the outlook remains uncertain. Previously, with stringent environmental regulations fully implemented in the U.S. and other countries, Honda pursued EV adoption with strong determination that striving for carbon neutrality is a responsibility Honda, as a manufacture of mobility products, must fulfill for the future. However, in the U.S., the expansion of the EV market has slowed down due to several factors including the easing of fossil fuel regulations and revisions to EV incentives.Moreover, in China, what customers value more in automobiles is shifting from hardware features, such as fuel efficiency and cabin space, to software-based features that will continuously advance according to customer preferences. This has intensified the competition due to the rapid emergence of newer EV manufacturers that leverage their short product development cycles and strengths in the area of software-defined vehicle (SDV) technologies, including advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). In such a difficult competitive environment, Honda was unable to deliver products that offer value for money better than that of newer EV manufacturers, resulting in a decline in competitiveness.Honda automobile business has fallen into an extremely challenging earnings situation due to various factors, including its inability to respond flexibly to these changes in the business environment, compounded by a decline in the profitability of gasoline and hybrid models due to the impact of newly imposed tariffs.Incurring losses associated with reassessment of automobile electrification strategyIn order to improve the current earnings situation as early as possible, Honda considered various options; however, after careful consideration, the company made the decision to cancel the development and market launch of three EV models that had been planned for production in the U.S., namely the Honda 0 SUV, Honda 0 Saloon, and Acura RSX. Honda determined that starting production and sales of these three models in current business environment where the demand for EVs is declining significantly would likely result in further losses over the long term.Based on this decision, Honda now expects to record 1) write-off and impairment losses on tangible and intangible assets that were intended to be used for the production of these three EV models, as well as 2) losses related to additional expenses resulting from the cancellation of the development and sales of these models.In addition, in consideration of the intensification of competition in China, Honda reassessed the recoverability of investments accounted for using the equity method in China, and now expects to incur an impairment loss on the investments accounted for using the equity method.As a result, in the consolidated financial results for the current fiscal year, Honda expects to record 1) operating expenses of 820 billion yen to 1.12 trillion yen and 2) a share of the loss of investments accounted for using the equity method of 110 billion yen to 150 billion yen. Moreover, Honda expects to record special losses of 340 billion to 570 billion yen in the non-consolidated financial results for the same fiscal year.These amounts are preliminary estimates as of today (March 12, 2026), and should be finalized in the consolidated and non-consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026.Furthermore, in the next fiscal year or later, additional expenses or losses may be incurred in connection with the above-mentioned reassessment of the automobile electrification strategy. Combined with the losses to be recorded in the current fiscal year, the total amount of losses is expected to be a maximum of 2.5 trillion yen. This amount is estimated based on information currently available to Honda, and as this estimate includes risks and uncertainties, the actual amount to be recorded may differ from this estimate.In order to achieve more stable and continuous dividends, Honda adopted DOE (dividend on equity ratio) as its shareholder redistribution indicator; therefore, despite this revision to the consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, Honda made no revision to the forecast for the dividend per share for this fiscal year.Future direction for automobile business transformationIn order to respond flexibly to rapid changes in its business environment, Honda is making progress in reorganizing its strategic framework and reestablishing its competitive strengths.In light of the recent slowdown in the growth of the EV market in the U.S., Honda will reassess its resource allocations and further strengthen its hybrid models. As for regional business, in addition to its main markets, namely Japan and the U.S., Honda will enhance the model lineup and cost competitiveness in India, where market expansion is expected. In other countries in Asia as well, Honda will strive to enhance its competitiveness by introducing next-generation hybrid models and reassessing the allocation of its resources.Moreover, in order to strengthen its business structure, Honda will establish  a fixed-cost structure appropriate for the scale.  Initiatives toward the future introduction of EV models will be implemented flexibly from a long-term perspective, while monitoring the balance between profitability and market trends.Although there is a possibility that additional expenses and/or losses will be recorded in the next fiscal year or later, Honda will maintain stable returns to shareholders by 1) improving profitability of its automobile business with the enhancement of the lineup, including next-generation hybrid models, and 2) leveraging solid earnings power and the cash-generating capability of its motorcycle and financial services businesses.Honda is planning to announce details of the reestablishment of its mid- to long-term strategy for its automobile business at a press conference to be held in May this year.

Japantastics Introduces the World of Kodaimoji, Bringing Ancient Characters into Modern Spaces

TOKYO, March 12, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Japantastics, Inc. has announced the launch of a new collection featuring Kodaimoji artworks by Kei Sato, a Japanese calligrapher and contemporary artist who reimagines ancient Chinese scripts such as oracle bone and bronze inscriptions as modern expressions of art. These early forms of writing, dating back more than 3,000 years, are recognised as the origins of modern Chinese characters and as vessels of timeless human emotion and spirituality.Guided by the concept "Bringing Ancient Characters into Modern Spaces," Sato transforms these primordial symbols into living works that resonate with contemporary aesthetic sensibilities. Her art transcends traditional calligraphy, appearing in diverse media such as wood, metal, ceramics, and stone. By merging historical depth with modern design, Sato creates works that channel the spirit of ancient writing into today's architecture, interiors, and art environments.Kei Sato explains: "Ancient characters are the prototypes of the kanji used today. Although they are the oldest form of written language, their rediscovery in 1988 makes them both ancient and new. Inspired by oracle bone and bronze inscriptions, born from cultures that reflect unchanging human emotions across time, I continue to create under the theme 'Bringing Ancient Characters into Modern Spaces,' hoping to share their essence across all environments.""Child""Happiness"Through her creative practice, Sato seeks not only to preserve these scripts as historical artefacts but to reinterpret and revitalise them, awakening the fundamental beauty and meaning of written forms within the context of contemporary art and space."Sun""Spring"The Japantastics.jp online site now features a selection of Sato's works, which serve as a cultural bridge, reviving the rhythm and beauty of the world's earliest scripts for the modern era.

HONG KONG, Mar 12, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – As the average age of the global population continues to rise, the Chinese Mainland is now home to the world’s largest number of seniors. Recognising this, the country’s 15th Five-Year Plan calls for proactive measures to address the challenges of an increasingly ageing population. The silver economy is set to be one of the vital engines for the mainland's next wave of economic growth.The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) has released a new consumer survey report, Chinese Mainland Silver Economy Opportunities, that details the strong spending power of the mainland’s affluent, middle-class senior consumers, as well as the vast untapped potential of this particular sector of society. With securing "happiness" and ensuring "quality" as their spending priorities, the survey shows that such consumers regard Hong Kong-made products as guaranteed to be authentic, while the city’s services sector is seen as professional and reliable. As a result, many of these consumers pronounce a willingness to pay a "Hong Kong premium".Believing that the continued expansion of the mainland's silver economy represents significant opportunities for Hong Kong businesses, Bruce Pang, HKTDC Director of Research, said: "Among other priorities, the 15th Five-Year Plan focuses on boosting domestic demand as a means of driving economic growth. Inevitably, this will create opportunities for Hong Kong companies looking to expand into the Chinese Mainland market.“By gaining a deeper understanding of the consumption patterns of mainland seniors, particularly those in the higher-spending middle-class and affluent segments, Hong Kong businesses will be able to effectively penetrate the domestic market."To gain a more in-depth understanding of the development opportunities in the country’s silver economy, HKTDC surveyed more than 2,000 middle-class/affluent senior consumers in various mainland cities last year. The broad cross-section of respondents included those in their 50s starting to plan their retirement, those entering retirement in their 60s, and the older post-retirement population (aged 70 and above). According to the survey’s findings, respondents' average monthly expenditure on daily consumer goods and services was approximately RMB7,000, rising to RMB8,000 for those in first-tier cities.Commenting on the findings of the survey, Wing Chu, the HKTDC’s Deputy Director of Research, who led the study, said: "Currently, the Chinese Mainland's silver economy is valued at about RMB7 trillion – some 6% of overall GDP. This is projected to surge to RMB30 trillion by 2035, indicating the segment’s huge development potential.“The survey also showed that more than half of such consumers had purchased Hong Kong products or services, consequently holding Hong Kong brands in particularly high regard. It was also notable that 78% of respondents were willing to pay a premium for Hong Kong-sourced products, while 84% were willing to do so in the case of the city’s services sector. Typically, respondents were willing to pay a 16.4% premium on products and 15.4% premium on services, with those in first-tier cities happy to pay an even higher percentage for many types of products and services.”Hong Kong brands enjoy stellar reputationOverall, many of the mainland’s senior consumers have a highly positive view of Hong Kong brands, with the city’s products celebrated for their quality and authenticity, and its services for their professionalism and reliability. On the product front, 61% of respondents had purchased Hong Kong products in the past year, including health foods (24%), luxury goods (18%) and beauty and personal care products (17%). In terms of future purchases, respondents expressed the greatest interest in Hong Kong health foods, leisure foods and beverages.Regarding the city’s services, 54% of senior respondents said they had utilised Hong Kong services in the past year, including beauty and personal care services (25%), travel to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan (22%) and financial and wealth management services (20%). Over the next 12 months, the most sought-after Hong Kong services were said to relate to health and wellness services, followed by beauty and personal care services.Digging deeper into the preferences of such consumers, HKTDC Economist Eric Chu said: "When choosing products and services, happiness is the priority for Chinese Mainland seniors, closely followed by value for money. With this in mind, Hong Kong businesses can leverage the silver economy by capitalising on the strong reputation and professional advantages of the city’s brands.“Specifically, they should consider expanding into the higher-spending first and second-tier cities, while targeting the younger segment of the senior population. Enhancing the offline experience and fostering word-of-mouth recommendations, alongside optimised promotional efforts, will also help Hong Kong businesses stand out in the mainland’s rapidly growing silver market.”Silver generation shaping a “blue ocean” of consumptionTaking a more in-depth look at the survey findings, 65% of respondents prioritised products or services that would enhance their leisure or bring them happiness, while 63% valued reasonable pricing and good value for money, and 62% focused more on the practicality and durability of the products or services on offer. Collectively, this indicates that mainland seniors are particularly concerned about their health and quality of life, while also valuing cost-effectiveness and functionality, marking them out as a notably mature and rational consumer group.In terms of product consumption, 23.3% of respondents most frequently purchased food and beverages, followed by home products (12.6%) and clothing (12.5%). In the case of services, 20.3% utilised body wellness services most often, followed by beauty and personal care services (16.7%) and leisure and entertainment services (13.1%).In addition, despite the popularity of online shopping across the mainland, the survey showed that physical stores remain the primary consumption channel for the more elderly demographic. For such consumers, offline experiences, in-person consultations and a sense of trust in products and services remain prime considerations.To help businesses capitalise on opportunities arising from the silver economy market, the HKTDC has incorporated various related elements into many of its exhibitions and forums. This allows relevant companies to showcase their products and technologies, while also giving them the opportunity to explore the latest industry developments through a series of related seminar programmes.Aligning with this approach, a thematic seminar on healthy ageing was held as part of the Asia Summit on Global Health, while the Rehabilitation and Elderly Care zone at the Hong Kong International Medical and Healthcare Fair featured the latest gerontechnology products. The Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition) also sought to showcase fitness and health products relevant to the senior market.In addition, the Hong Kong Toys & Games Fair, held in January this year, introduced a new “Happy Ageing” label for silver market products, making it easier for buyers to identify toys and related products designed specifically for older consumers. The Asia Toys & Games Forum, held during the fair, hosted a discussion by a number of international experts on the optimum design of toys for the elderly, while also offering many other insights into the silver-focused toy market.Looking ahead, the HKTDC will continue to provide comprehensive support to the business sector, enabling enterprises to further explore and develop opportunities in the growing silver economy market.ReferencesReport link: https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjI2ODIyMDg0NwHKTDC Research: http://research.hktdc.com/enPhoto download: https://bit.ly/4shpQjOHKTDC Director of Research Bruce Pang (centre), Deputy Director of Research Wing Chu (left) and Economist Eric Chu (right) presented key findings from the "Chinese Mainland Silver Economy Opportunities" consumer survey reportHKTDC Media Room: http://mediaroom.hktdc.com/enMedia enquiriesFor enquiries, please contact:Raconteur PR Agency:Betsy TseTel: (852) 9742 7338Email: betsytse@raconteur.hkMolisa LauTel: (852) 6187 7786Email: molisalau@raconteur.hkHKTDC Communication and Public Affairs Department:Clayton LauwTel: (852) 2584 4472Email: clayton.y.lauw@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

NEC Develops Physical AI That Anticipates Human Movement and Psychological States

TOKYO, Mar 12, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) has developed a first-of-its-kind physical AI (*1) that proactively controls robots to help reduce human stress. This technology utilizes a proprietary "world model" (*2) from NEC to predict human movement and psychological states, quantitatively estimating a person's level of stress.The technology was developed based on a world model, an AI system that is attracting attention globally for accelerating robot adoption. It anticipates the direction a person will move based on the relative position and posture between a robot and the person, predicting the person's level of stress in real time. This enables robots to be controlled along paths and at speeds that reduce human stress.In collaborative human-robot work environments, this reduction of psychological stress can be closely linked to physical safety, helping to avoid collisions and unexpected contact. As a result, expectations are growing for robots utilizing physical AI as a solution to labor shortages and hazardous tasks.However, it is not easy for robots to control their movements based on expected human movements and psychological states. Moreover, robot behavior may cause humans to feel uneasy or tense, potentially hindering smooth collaboration.NEC developed this technology to address these challenges. The technology promotes robot deployment in environments where dedicated robot zones are not yet established, such as small-to-medium-sized logistics warehouses, factories, and retail stores with narrow aisles—locations where stress-related barriers to robot use are conventionally high.This development was achieved by integrating the knowledge and expertise NEC previously accumulated through the research and development of globally recognized models in the field of Physical AI and robot control technologies.The proprietary world model utilized by this technology was developed by combining two prediction models. This has enabled robots to predict the future level of human stress when executing a specific driving control, thereby achieving optimal driving control that anticipates human movement. As a result, it can navigate at speeds and along paths that minimize human stress while maintaining mobility efficiency and suppressing unnecessary deceleration or stops, which can contribute to resolving labor shortages and improving productivity.1. Predicting human movement that changes based on robot behavior and physical surroundingsBy understanding the relationship between "human and robot behavior" as well as "humans and their physical surroundings," NEC has developed a unique prediction model capable of forecasting changing human movement. Using camera footage from robots and their control data, the model can predict with high accuracy the future 3D position and posture of people visible in current footage. This is accomplished in consideration of a robot's behavior and surrounding environmental information.2. Real-time, quantitative estimation of the degree of human stress in relation to a robot’s positionThrough the operation of robots and training AI with experimental results from stress surveys and robot movement data, NEC developed a unique predictive model that quantitatively estimates human stress levels based on the position, posture, and speed among humans and robots. This model enables real-time estimation of stress levels felt by individuals as robots approach them, tailored to each specific situation.Going forward, NEC will continue contributing to the creation of environments where humans and robots can collaborate safely through the implementation of Physical AI.(1) The amount of carbon dioxide absorbed and emitted between forests and the atmosphere.(2) Source: Verra, a nonprofit organization that operates standards in environmental and social markets.

NEC and The University of Tokyo calculate carbon accumulation rates in Malaysian national park with a 9.4% margin of error

The University of Tokyo’s carbon cycle assessment model, VISIT, and NEC’s data assimilation technology calculate decarbonization effect in forests with greater efficiency and accuracy than conventional methodsTOKYO, Mar 12, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The University of Tokyo’s Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, Faculty of Agriculture, and NEC have calculated carbon accumulation rates for Lambir Hills National Park in Malaysia based on observed removals data for greenhouse gases (GHG) utilizing the university’s VISIT (Vegetation Integrated SImulator for Trace gases) terrestrial ecosystem model.NEC’s data assimilation technology (patent pending) was used to correct data errors, and observed data was compared with simulated data in order to calculate carbon accumulation rates with a high degree of accuracy, achieving a daily margin of error of 9.4%.BackgroundNEC is promoting initiatives to quantify GHG removals in forests across Southeast Asia and to develop carbon credits in the forest sector. As part of these efforts, NEC has been conducting joint research with the Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences at The University of Tokyo, which developed the VISIT model, an ecosystem model with strengths estimating carbon stocks and fluxes (*1) in forests in the Asian region.The VISIT model estimates carbon stocks and fluxes based on forest vegetation, soil, and meteorological data. By combining VISIT with NEC’s data assimilation technology, exceptionally high-precision estimation of forest carbon accumulation rates has become possible.Data assimilation technology is a computational method that improves model accuracy by adjusting model parameters based on differences between model outputs and observed data. NEC’s data assimilation technology is designed to enhance the accuracy of carbon flux estimations for the future by linking VISIT with image data obtained from satellite-mounted sensors. A patent application has been filed by NEC for this technology.Key features of the VISIT modelThe VISIT model assesses carbon cycles in terrestrial ecosystems. In addition to enabling estimation of carbon stocks and fluxes using vegetation, soil, and meteorological data, the model can also assess the impacts of land-use changes and climate change. VISIT is particularly well suited for improving accuracy based on observed data and is regarded as highly reliable compared with other similar models.Furthermore, the VISIT model is applicable to forests across Asia, including Japan. The methodologies recommended by the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), the world’s largest voluntary carbon crediting program, primarily reference models developed for Europe and North America and have not specified models tailored to Asian regions (*2). This joint research utilizing the VISIT model is expected to make important contributions to the advancement of forest carbon credit development in Asia.Key features of data assimilationData assimilation is a computational method that improves the accuracy of model estimation by correcting model parameters based on differences between model outputs and observed data. The NEC data assimilation technology used in this joint research has the potential, in the future, to enhance the accuracy of carbon flux estimation by linking the VISIT model with satellite-mounted hyperspectral sensors. A patent application has been filed by NEC for this technology.Currently, the application of data assimilation technology to observational models in the forestry field is not widespread. By applying this technology to the VISIT model, more efficient and highly accurate data collection in forest environments becomes possible, contributing to the advancement of forest conservation initiatives.Building on the findings obtained through this joint research, NEC will accelerate its initiatives in natural capital accounting and carbon credit development.(1) The amount of carbon dioxide absorbed and emitted between forests and the atmosphere.(2) Source: Verra, a nonprofit organization that operates standards in environmental and social markets. About NECThe NEC Group leverages technology to create social value and promote a more sustainable world where everyone has the chance to reach their full potential.

(SeaPRwire) -   丹佛,科罗拉多州 – 2026年12月3日 – (SeaPRwire) – 随着金融机构探索将数字资产整合到其支付基础设施中的方法,金融科技提供商之间正在涌现新的合作,以连接传统银行系统与基于区块链的技术。在此背景下,数字资产解决方案提供商 Omnia 宣布与银行平台公司 Infinant 建立战略合作伙伴关系,以增强 Interlace 银行与支付平台内的稳定币支付功能。 此次合作旨在为银行提供一个统一的支付框架,能够同时支持传统的法币交易和受监管的基于稳定币的转账。通过将传统银行通道与区块链支持的结算能力相结合,该合作旨在创建一个现代化的支付中心,以支持不断发展的金融服务。 稳定币在金融服务领域势头强劲 随着对数字资产的兴趣持续扩大,金融机构越来越多地探索将稳定币和代币化存款作为提高支付效率和扩展服务产品的工具。稳定币通常旨在保持相对于法币的稳定价值,正被考虑用于跨境支付、银行间结算和实时交易处理等应用。 这些数字资产有潜力简化国际汇款、缩短结算时间,并支持那些连续运营而非仅在传统银行营业时间内运营的金融服务。 Omnia 的首席执行官兼创始人 Davis Hart 指出,此次合作反映了两家公司对银行基础设施演进的共同愿景。根据 Hart 的说法,未来的金融生态系统很可能涉及多种类型的资产和支付通道在统一的平台内协同运作。 为银行整合数字资产基础设施 通过将 Omnia 的数字资产能力集成到 Infinant 的 Interlace 平台中,银行可以获得旨在支持稳定币支付和代币化存款服务的基础设施。该框架旨在简化银行引入数字资产功能的过程,而无需在内部开发或维护区块链系统。 该组合平台架构使金融机构能够通过一个集中的支付引擎来管理传统和数字资产交易。在同一环境中,银行可以处理传统的支付方式——包括 ACH 转账、电汇支付和即时支付通道——以及稳定币的发行和结算。 这种集成方法旨在降低运营复杂性,同时允许机构在数字资产市场成熟时扩展支付能力。 通过合作伙伴关系加速支付创新 Infinant 的首席执行官兼创始人 Riaz Syed 表示,此次合作展示了金融科技合作伙伴关系如何加速现代银行平台内的创新。通过将 Omnia 的稳定币基础设施纳入 Interlace 生态系统,该平台旨在帮助银行探索新的数字资产战略,同时保持监管监督和运营控制。 两家公司视此次合作为更广泛行业趋势的一部分,即银行寻求能够支持新兴金融产品、新支付渠道和不断变化的客户期望的灵活技术平台。 关于 Omnia Omnia 总部位于科罗拉多州丹佛市,提供代币化资产基础设施,旨在帮助银行把握数字资产机遇。公司专注于为社区银行和区域性银行量身定制解决方案,支持诸如稳定币入口、国际支付、嵌入式交易能力以及面向零售和商业客户的机构结算等服务。 该平台设计为在现有银行框架内运行,同时支持合规和风险管理要求。通过利用成熟的金融系统,Omnia 旨在让银行能够参与数字资产市场,同时保持运营安全和监管一致性。 关于 Infinant Infinant 总部位于北卡罗来纳州夏洛特市,开发现代化的银行和支付基础设施,旨在与现有的核心银行系统协同运作。其 Interlace 平台作为一个创新层,使金融机构能够推出新渠道、新产品和建立合作伙伴关系,同时保持运营和监管控制。 该平台支持虚拟账户、集成支付、卡片服务和多渠道银行策略等功能。通过为金融产品开发提供灵活的环境,Interlace 允许银行引入嵌入式金融、实时支付、代币化存款和专业化账户结构等服务。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
