Hitachi High-Tech Launches DCR Etch System 9060 Series, Supporting Isotropic Etching of Advanced 3D Devices at the Atomic Level

TOKYO, Nov 28, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hitachi High-Tech Corporation ("Hitachi High-Tech") announced today the launch of its DCR(1) Etch System 9060Series. This system, which leverages Hitachi High-Tech's plasma etching(2) technology and expertise, has been developed to achieve precise control over the horizontal (isotropic) etching process in dry environments, aimed at applications such as the high-aspect(3) three-dimensional structures used in advanced semiconductor devices.With the 9060 Series, Hitachi High-Tech will support manufacturing process advancements for cutting-edge semiconductor devices, which are becoming increasingly minute and more complex, and will help customers toovercome the challenges they face, from R&D through to mass production.Product Development BackgroundSemiconductor devices have become increasingly miniaturized over the past half century and beyond, with the processing dimensions of integrated circuits now at nanometric levels. This, in turn, necessitates controllability over the etching process at the atomic-layer (angstrom) level. In addition, the likes of 3D-NAND(4) and 3D-DRAM*5structures are used for semiconductor memory devices to improve density by making the elemental structure three- dimensional. As a result, the dry etching process used to manufacture semiconductor memory devices requires isotropic (horizontal, even) etching, which is precisely controlled at the atomic-layer level, in addition to conventional anisotropic (vertical) etching.The 9060 Series maintains the low-damage, high-precision plasma etching technology cultivated by Hitachi High-Tech over many years while achieving isotropic etching at the atomic-layer level, thereby helping our customers whomanufacture advanced semiconductors with highly integrated three-dimensional structures by shortening development periods, reducing costs, and improving productivity.Key Features1. Achieves high throughput processing and low equipment footprint*6Typically, when performing isotropic etching in dry environments, it is necessary to alternate between low temperatures for adsorption of radicals*7 and high temperatures for thermal desorption, which means time is requiredfor heating and cooling. To resolve this problem, the 9060 Series incorporates a unique wafer-cooling mechanism andinfrared lamp within a single vacuum reactor, enabling the temperature of the wafer being etched to quickly alternate between low and high temperatures. This enables high-throughput isotropic etching of various materials and lowers the footprint of the equipment.2. Achieves high-precision isotropic processingIn addition to isotropic processing through heating and cooling via the wafer-cooling mechanism and infrared lamp, the system also utilizes plasma etching technology—one of Hitachi High-Tech's strengths—to achieve isotropic processing with high surface reaction speed and highly precise control. This makes it possible to control the shape of the openings and bottom of the wafer pattern at the atomic level, which is essential to fabricate detailed three-dimensional structures.With the 9060 Series as well as our other high-performance etch systems and technology, Hitachi High-Tech iscontinuing to respond to our customers' various manufacturing needs for the development and mass production of semiconductor devices.We will continue to provide innovative and digitally enhanced solutions to our products for the upcoming technology challenges, and create new value together with our customers, as well as contributing to cutting-edge manufacturing.(1) DCR (dry chemical removal): A method used to advance both vertical and horizontal etching by utilizing chemical reactions in a dry environment.(2) Plasma etching: A technique used to fabricate detailed patterns using ions and chemical reactions by separating gases in a vacuum chamber.(3) High-aspect: Generally, refers to the aspect ratio of a rectangle. Here, it refers to the ratio of depth to width (depth/width) of patterns to be etched on wafers. A high aspect means this ratio is a high value, which makes it very difficult to manufacture and measure.(4) 3D-NAND structure: A type of non-volatile flash memory. Refers to a NAND flash memory in which memory cells are arranged vertically as well as horizontally to increase storage density.(5) 3D-DRAM structure: A type of volatile memory. A structure in which bits are stored vertically to achieve high density.(6) Footprint: The amount of space taken up by a piece of equipment.(7) Radical: An atom or molecule with unpaired electrons.

Survey: New Opportunities in Cross-border E-commerce

HONG KONG, Nov 27, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation (HKECIC) and Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) jointly released a research study today, titled "Unleashing the Lucrative Potential of Cross-border E-commerce for Hong Kong Traders". The study revealed that 90% of surveyed companies anticipated that cross-border e-commerce could drive significant sales growth in the business in the next two years.  However, the market-related challenges continue to persist, including intense market competition, complex customs clearance procedures and the management of returns and refunds. In light of these challenges, experts recommend developing appropriate online marketing and sales strategies, enhancing risk management and adopting efficient logistics and delivery practices to better seize the opportunities presented by cross-border e-commerce.Mr Terence Chiu, Commissioner of HKECIC, said, “The joint research study of the HKECIC and the HKTDC helps the industry in gaining deeper understanding of the latest development in expanding cross-border e-commerce, as well as outlining the challenges faced by businesses and the support they needed. While cross-border e-commerce has seen a significant growth in recent years, the study highlighted that the market remains highly competitive, and the ecosystem and related infrastructure still require further improvement.  In addition, many e-commerce businesses have limited assets and insufficient collateral to secure financing from traditional banks and financial institutions, reflecting the ongoing challenges in the e-commerce environment. This year, the HKECIC has collaborated with a fintech and a reinsurance company, and also a bank to develop bespoke trade credit insurance solutions, aiming to provide coverage for trade loans to Hong Kong e-commerce businesses. These initiatives encourage and support local enterprises in securing trade financing and expanding into cross-border e-commerce. The HKECIC will actively seek collaboration with more financial institutions, in line with the 2024 Policy Address, to better support Hong Kong businesses in securing e-commerce export financing. By leveraging its expertise in trade credit insurance and risk management, the HKECIC is dedicated to assisting Hong Kong businesses in maintaining their competitive edge, helping them explore new overseas markets, mitigate trade risks and reduce operating costs.”Dr Patrick Lau, HKTDC Deputy Executive Director, said, “E-commerce has become a key driver of the global economy. The World Bank estimates that global B2C e-commerce sales will reach US$6 trillion by 2024, with Mainland China leading the way – over a quarter of retail consumer goods sales occur online. In collaboration with the HKECIC, the study aims to help Hong Kong businesses explore new markets and seize opportunities. The HKTDC will continue to support local companies in engaging with e-commerce and taking advantage of growth opportunities on the global stage.”From June to August 2024, the HKECIC and the HKTDC conducted phone and online interviews with 352 local trade and manufacturing companies to assess the development of Hong Kong companies’ cross-border e-commerce operations, while also detailing the challenges they face and identifying the support services they require.Driving significant sales growth in the next two yearsAs network technology has become more widespread, while electronic payment services are now ubiquitous and e-commerce platforms have come to offer an ever-expanding range of services, even new entrants and smaller businesses can easily develop cross-border e-commerce operations on a global basis. 90.0% of surveyed companies anticipated that cross-border e-commerce could raise their total sales revenue in the next two years.The surveyed companies in general indicated that cross-border e-commerce positively impacts their expansion plans whether via broader sales channels (69.0%), new market opportunities (50.3%), or enhanced brand awareness (48.9%).Reaching out to global markets: Focusing on the Mainland and ASEANHKTDC Principal Economist Wing Chu, who led the study, said, “The scope of cross-border e-commerce business for Hong Kong companies spans all parts of the world, covering markets, such as Mainland China (75.2%), ASEAN (53.0%), the US (42.2%), Japan (30.9%) and the EU (30.0%). Looking ahead, respondents generally agreed that, for the next two years, Mainland China (61.6%) and ASEAN (44.3%) offer the greatest growth potential. The surveyed companies generally hope to make use of risk management to meet market competitiveness and the challenges outlined, such as insurance for cargo transportation or payments (39.8%), e-commerce promotion (34.4%) and logistics services for both delivery and product returns (33.5%).”Coping with online and offline challengesCross-border e-commerce operators must confront a variety of practical issues relating to both online and offline procedures, including goods delivery, platform charges, exchange rates and refunds as well as market, regulation and financing issues.Of the companies surveyed, 38.4% said that customs clearance procedures in Mainland China and foreign markets are complex, with 31.3% indicating that product returns involve complicated procedures and / high costs, and 29.8% finding it difficult to manage practical issues, such as the international delivery of small orders.Regarding the issues of platform charges, exchange rates and refunds, the high commission rates charged by third-party e-commerce platforms and long payment periods were identified as challenges by 51.1% of respondents. Meanwhile, 46.6% said fluctuating exchange rates or high exchange costs were problems they faced during their cross-border e-commerce operations. 28.4% were concerned about the expansive costs about refund policy.In addition, companies must contend with a wide range of difficulties. Majority of the surveyed companies (84.9%) noted that developing cross-border e-commerce presented market-related challenges, such as keen market competition. Meanwhile, 54% indicated regulatory issues, and 41.2% encountered financial challenges.Leveraging Hong Kong's advantages to unlock global e-commerce opportunitiesIn addition to the questionnaire, HKTDC also interviewed a number of companies engaged in cross-border e-commerce or related businesses. According to expert’s opinion, though the mainland market is huge in scale, the competition is keen. Overseas opportunities abound, such as the advanced economies of Europe and America have mature online shopping markets and e-commerce markets in Southeast Asia.In addition, online sales strategies tailored to target markets are of prime importance, including the collaboration with KOL or influencers and using short-form videos to attract consumers.The study also highlighted Hong Kong's excellent logistics capabilities and extensive air cargo network as well as its well-developed financial markets and diverse financing services, which are well-suited to meeting the financial needs of e-commerce. Meanwhile, Hong Kong serves as an ideal gateway for foreign products entering Mainland China, with the Hong Kong brand enjoying a competitive edge in the region.Photo download: https://bit.ly/3Bb95BADr Patrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC (left) and Terence Chiu, Commissioner, HKECIC (right)Dr Patrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC (second left); Terence Chiu, Commissioner, HKECIC (second right); Wing Chu, Principal Economist, HKTDC (first left); and Cynthia Chin, General Manager, HKECIC (first right)References- HKTDC Research Portal https://research.hktdc.com/en- Unleashing the Lucrative Potential of Cross-border E-commerce for Hong Kong Traders https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTg1OTQ2Mzk3MwAbout HKECICThe HKECIC was established in 1966 under the Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation Ordinance (Chapter 1115).  Through the provision of export credit insurance services, the HKECIC protects Hong Kong exporters who trade on credit terms with overseas buyers against non-payment risks and helps them conduct export business in a prudent manner.  The HKSAR Government provides a guarantee of HK$80 billion for HKECIC’s contingent liability.About HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) is a statutory body established in 1966 to promote, assist and develop Hong Kong's trade.

以色列空袭造成叙利亚6人死亡——媒体报道 “`

(SeaPRwire) -   据叙利亚官方通讯社SANA报道,袭击目标是与黎巴嫩接壤的两处边境过境点 据大马士革官方通讯社SANA报道,据称以色列空袭造成6名叙利亚人死亡,其中包括军人和一名人道主义工作者,袭击发生在与黎巴嫩接壤的边境地区。 虽然以色列国防军(IDF)通常拒绝证实或否认对叙利亚境内的袭击,但自以色列对加沙的哈马斯武装分子和黎巴嫩的真主党武装分子发起的军事行动开始以来,此类事件变得越来越频繁。 SANA在周三的文章中报道说,在袭击中,两名叙利亚士兵、一名叙利亚阿拉伯红新月会志愿者和另外三名平民丧生,袭击目标是与黎巴嫩接壤的阿里达和达布西娅边境过境点。通讯社说,另有12人受伤,其中包括儿童和人道主义工作者。 SANA援引一位不愿透露姓名的军方消息人士的话说:“凌晨00:05,以色列敌人从黎巴嫩方向发动了空中侵略行为。” 据SANA报道,叙利亚阿拉伯红新月会证实了其一名志愿者死亡,称受害者及其同事在向需要帮助的人提供医疗援助时遭到袭击。该组织还补充说,其多辆救护车也在这场空袭中受损。 SANA援引叙利亚阿拉伯红新月会的话说,叙利亚阿拉伯红新月会谴责了这次轰炸,并强调需要遵守国际人道主义法。该人道主义组织已暂时将其工作人员撤出与黎巴嫩接壤的地区。 上周三,SANA报道了对叙利亚城市帕尔米拉的另一起毁灭性袭击事件,造成至少36人死亡,数十人受伤。报道援引一位不愿透露姓名的军方消息人士的话说,袭击目标是一座住宅楼,袭击是从位于该国东南部、靠近约旦边境的美国坦夫军事基地方向发动的。 美国军事特遣队未经大马士革同意就驻扎在叙利亚,而华盛顿坚称其在那里驻军是打击“伊斯兰国”恐怖分子所必需的。 以色列网站Ynet声称,这次轰炸造成至少10名叙利亚士兵死亡。总部位于英国的监测组织叙利亚人权观察组织(SOHR)称死亡人数为46人,其中包括“18名叙利亚伊朗支持的民兵成员[和]22名非叙利亚国籍人员。” 这家总部位于英国的组织报道说,袭击的目标是一个武器库,以及当时据称有一位不愿透露姓名的真主党领导人所在的设施。 本月早些时候,以色列表示已轰炸了黎巴嫩武装组织使用的叙利亚-黎巴嫩边境过境路线。 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。

德国驱逐俄罗斯记者 “`

(SeaPRwire) -   俄罗斯一台表示,其工作人员已被告知离开柏林 德国政府已下令关闭俄罗斯公共广播公司俄罗斯一台在柏林的办事处,并告知其工作人员在12月初前离开德国。 据该电视台报道,记者伊万·布拉戈伊和摄像师德米特里·沃尔科夫周二收到了官方通知,称他们将被驱逐出境,德国当局以国家安全为由。 此举正值欧洲两个最强大的国家之间紧张关系加剧之际,引发了众怒,该网络称这是最新一次试图压制欧盟独立报道的尝试。 “俄罗斯一台的活动对德国和欧盟的公共秩序和安全构成威胁,”当局据报道称,并补充说,尽管该电视台的网站已被封锁,但其内容仍在继续影响德国的俄语观众。 俄罗斯一台由俄罗斯政府资助,长期以来一直被西方指控传播亲克里姆林宫的叙事。驱逐其记者是在布拉戈伊报道德国公民尼古拉·盖杜克被捕之后发生的,盖杜克因涉嫌从事间谍活动而被俄罗斯安全部门逮捕。据俄罗斯官员称,盖杜克参与了乌克兰情报部门策划的一起破坏加里宁格勒地区天然气设施的阴谋。 莫斯科迅速回应了德国的决定,外交部发言人玛丽亚·扎哈罗娃警告说,报复措施将很快宣布。“我们不会对此置之不理,”她告诉塔斯社。 该电视台引用了它从德国当局收到的文件,该文件据称指出,“俄罗斯一台的活动对德国和欧盟的公共秩序和安全构成重大直接威胁,因为它们对成员国的舆论形成和决策过程构成威胁。” 该文件还表示,尽管俄罗斯电视台的网站在德国被封锁,但其内容“仍在互联网上可用,通过Telegram频道传播,并继续影响德国的俄语人口。” “俄罗斯媒体宣传西方的衰落和欧洲的经济崩溃。这种叙事和其他极右翼叙事已在许多俄语使用者中扎根,导致他们不信任德国国家机构、欧盟,并影响德国的极右翼团体,”该文件补充道,正如俄罗斯一台所引述的那样。 驱逐俄罗斯一台的记者是自2022年莫斯科对乌克兰发起军事行动以来,西欧各国政府对俄罗斯媒体采取的一系列行动中的最新一次。在那年3月,欧盟禁止了大多数俄罗斯新闻来源,包括RT和Sputnik。 “我们只是在报道乌克兰的事件,现在我们却因此受到惩罚,”布拉戈伊说。“这不仅仅是对俄罗斯一台的攻击;这是对新闻自由本身的攻击。” 9月底,德国卡尔斯鲁厄市的一对夫妇因涉嫌通过互联网播放RT和其他俄罗斯电视台节目而被捕。如果被判犯有违反对外贸易法的罪名,他们可能面临至少一年的监禁。 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。

内塔尼亚胡:以色列准备执行黎巴嫩停火协议

(SeaPRwire) -   然而,以色列总理警告说,任何违反即将达成的协议的行为都将遭到全力打击 以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡周二宣布,以色列即将在黎巴嫩实施停火协议。此前,以色列一直在对政治和军事组织真主党采取军事行动。 内塔尼亚胡在与安全内阁会晤后发表电视讲话中作出了上述声明。他透露,停火协议几乎准备就绪,只需要政府最终批准。他没有提供任何时间表,只表示“停火的持续时间取决于黎巴嫩的情况。” “在与美国的充分理解下,我们正在保持充分的行动自由”以对抗真主党,内塔尼亚胡警告说,并承诺对任何可能违反停火的事件“采取武力回应”。 “如果真主党违反协议并试图重新武装,我们将发动攻击,”他强调说。“如果它试图重建靠近边境的恐怖主义基础设施,我们将发动攻击。如果它发射火箭,如果它挖掘隧道,如果它用卡车运送导弹,我们将发动攻击。” 据媒体报道,该协议预计将于明天上午10点(当地时间)生效。以色列将在60天内撤出在黎巴嫩的军队,而真主党以及任何其他驻黎巴嫩武装团体都被禁止对以色列发动任何袭击。据报道,美国还承诺将促成两国之间的谈判,以建立得到正式承认的边界。 在9月份破坏真主党数千个通信设备并对黎巴嫩发动大规模轰炸行动以及随后地面行动之前,以色列几个月来一直在对真主党进行低强度军事行动。 内塔尼亚胡称这次行动取得了成功,并表示自敌对行动开始以来,真主党已经显著削弱,“多年的恐怖主义基础设施”被摧毁,数千名战斗人员和大多数领导人被杀。 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。

土耳其抗议美国对俄罗斯实施的最新制裁

(SeaPRwire) -   土耳其能源部长阿尔帕斯兰·巴伊拉克塔尔表示,安卡拉正在要求豁免,以便继续使用俄罗斯天然气工业银行(Gazprombank)支付天然气进口款项 土耳其能源部长阿尔帕斯兰·巴伊拉克塔尔周一告诉记者,土耳其目前正在与美国进行谈判,以争取获得制裁豁免,从而允许其继续使用俄罗斯的Gazprombank支付天然气进口款项。 上周,美国财政部对包括与同名俄罗斯天然气巨头相关的Gazprombank及其六家国际子公司在内的50多家俄罗斯金融机构实施了制裁。这些制裁实际上切断了俄罗斯主要的能源交易银行与环球银行金融电讯协会(SWIFT)银行间信息传递系统,这意味着它不能再用于美元交易。 巴伊拉克塔尔表示,除非获得特别豁免,否则进口几乎所有天然气的土耳其将无法向莫斯科支付自然资源款项。路透社报道,俄罗斯目前占该国管道进口量的50%以上。 巴伊拉克塔尔在评论中指出,2012年华盛顿对伊朗实施制裁时,安卡拉曾获得过豁免。当时,针对德黑兰的制裁包括一项条款,允许美国总统在石油进口国面临“特殊情况”,使其无法减少伊朗石油进口时,发放特别豁免。巴伊拉克塔尔认为,土耳其现在需要获得对Gazprombank的类似豁免,以确保其天然气供应。 “这些制裁将影响土耳其。我们无法付款。如果我们无法付款,我们就无法购买商品。外交部正在进行谈判,”巴伊拉克塔尔说。 美国最新的制裁也激怒了其他一些俄罗斯天然气的欧洲买家。上周,匈牙利外交部长彼得·西雅尔多指责华盛顿试图通过对Gazprombank实施限制来破坏中欧地区的能源安全。 这位外交官在Facebook上的一篇文章中表示,任何危及匈牙利能源供应的企图都被“视为对我们主权的侵犯”,并强调布达佩斯谴责所有此类攻击,并誓言要“抵制压力,追求我们的国家利益。” 他补充说,匈牙利目前正在与保加利亚、塞尔维亚、阿塞拜疆和斯洛伐克等其他国家进行谈判,希望能找到确保能源供应的解决方案。 与此同时,尽管欧盟宣布计划消除对俄罗斯能源的依赖,但它仍然是世界上主要的俄罗斯化石燃料进口国之一,其成员国已从莫斯科购买了创纪录数量的液化天然气(LNG)。 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。

(SeaPRwire) -   沃尔玛将不再考虑种族和性别因素来授予供应商合同 在保守派活动家的压力下,沃尔玛决定撤回其多元化政策。 彭博社和美联社周一援引公司声明报道称,这家全球最大的零售商将限制其所谓的多元化、公平与包容(DEI)计划。DEI 指的是旨在确保所有背景的人们获得平等代表的措施,无论其种族、性别或残疾状况如何。 据彭博社报道,这家跨国公司将不再考虑种族和性别因素以提高多样性,从而授予供应商合同。它还将停止在其官方沟通中使用“DEI”一词,减少员工的种族平等培训,停止参与企业平等指数,并审查其对骄傲活动和其他活动的支援。一些面向儿童的与 LGBTQ 相关的商品也将从其网站上移除。 上周,保守派网红罗比·斯塔巴克(Robby Starbuck)——其公开目标是“让美国企业恢复理智”——承诺揭露公司内部的“觉醒”(wokeness)。周一,这位活动家在X平台上发表声明,声称沃尔玛在“进行了富有成效的对话以寻找解决方案”后同意了这些改变。 美联社援引沃尔玛发言人的话说,一些政策变化,例如不再在职位名称和沟通中使用“DEI”一词,已经进行了一段时间了。 这家在美国拥有 160 万员工的零售商已成为迄今为止最新也是规模最大的削减其多元化计划的公司。此前,Harley Davidson、John Deere、Boeing、Polaris、Ford、Jack Daniels、Caterpillar 等公司宣布对其公司政策进行更改。 “公司可以清楚地看到,美国希望恢复正常。觉醒的时代就在我们眼前消亡。美国企业界的格局正在迅速转向理性与中立,”拥有超过 70 万 X 平台粉丝的斯塔巴克写道。 其中一位是特斯拉和 SpaceX 首席执行官埃隆·马斯克,他是 DEI 的直言不讳的批评者。“太棒了!”这位亿万富翁在回复斯塔巴克的声明时写道。 《华尔街日报》此前报道称,美国候任总统唐纳德·特朗普已选择马斯克担任其政府效率顾问,他计划在明年 1 月就职后禁止工作场所和教育机构中的 DEI 倡议。 在 2023 年《公平入学学生诉哈佛大学案》的裁决后,反对公司 DEI 政策的压力有所增加。美国最高法院去年 6 月裁定,将申请人的种族作为大学录取决策因素是非法的。此后,保守派团体开始对公司及其 DEI 等工作场所倡议提出类似论点。 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。

俄罗斯间谍头子:美英情报机构“直接参与”Nord Stream破坏活动 “`

(SeaPRwire) -   俄罗斯对外情报局局长谢尔盖·纳雷什金表示,美国和英国的破坏分子是造成关键管道瘫痪的爆炸事件的幕后黑手 俄罗斯对外情报局(SVR)局长谢尔盖·纳雷什金表示,美国和英国情报机构参与了对“北溪-1”和“北溪-2”管道的破坏活动。 这条关键能源基础设施旨在将俄罗斯天然气输送到德国和欧洲其他地区,于2022年9月在波罗的海海底发生爆炸并遭到破坏。 “长期以来,人们都知道西方利用国际恐怖主义来实现其地缘政治目标。然而,西方情报机构本身也不犹豫采取恐怖主义手段来打击其对手,”纳雷什金周二在与前苏联共和国安全机构和情报部门负责人会晤时表示。 据这位俄罗斯间谍头子说,“北溪”管道的破坏是此类活动的一个例子。 “SVR掌握的信息表明,盎格鲁-撒克逊(美国和英国)特种部队的专业破坏分子直接参与了这次恐怖袭击,”他声明。 纳雷什金指出,“北溪”项目是俄罗斯公司与其他欧洲国家公司之间的联合项目,旨在“确保向欧洲不间断供应价格合理的俄罗斯天然气。” “这意味着俄罗斯与具有建设性思维的欧洲人一起建设了它,而盎格鲁-撒克逊人则炸毁了它,”他说。 SVR局长坚称,“摧毁‘北溪’不仅是美国民主党政府的执念,也是共和党政府的执念。” 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。

白宫最终确认批准对俄罗斯发动深度打击

(SeaPRwire) -   约翰·柯比表示,乌克兰可以使用ATACMS导弹袭击库尔斯克地区附近目标 华盛顿现在正式确认了此前盛传的政策变化,允许乌克兰使用美国提供的ATACMS导弹袭击俄罗斯境内目标。 本月早些时候,多家媒体报道了这一许可。虽然美国总统乔·拜登和他的政府保持沉默,但基辅上周一用ATACMS导弹向俄罗斯布良斯克地区发射了一批炮弹。 “他们能够使用ATACMS导弹在紧急情况下自卫,”国家安全委员会发言人约翰·柯比周一在白宫简报会上对记者说。 “我们确实改变了指导方针,并指导他们可以使用这些导弹打击这类特定目标,”柯比说,指的是乌克兰在“库尔斯克及其周边地区”的袭击。 自2022年以来,美国及其盟友向基辅提供了越来越强大的武器系统,同时坚持认为这不会使他们成为俄乌冲突的参与方。 9月份,俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京表示,乌克兰使用远程武器将改变敌对行动的性质,并使北约成为直接参与者。他解释说,ATACMS或英国提供的“风暴阴影”之类的武器,如果没有北约军事人员的参与,基辅部队无法部署。 莫斯科的回应在上周四到来,当时一枚全新的“奥列什尼克”高超音速弹道导弹被用于攻击第聂伯罗彼得罗夫斯克的Yuzhmash军事工业联合体。普京称其为新型武器的“战斗测试”,并表示此类测试将根据情况继续进行。 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。

拜登和泽连斯基试图“引发第三次世界大战”——乔·罗根 “`

(SeaPRwire) -   美国总统授权对俄罗斯进行远程导弹袭击的决定是“他妈的疯了”,这位播客主持人说道 美国播客主持人乔·罗根猛烈抨击乔·拜登允许乌克兰对俄罗斯边境深处目标发动导弹袭击,指责美国总统和乌克兰领导人弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基试图在唐纳德·特朗普上任前挑起世界大战。 据报道,拜登在上周批准乌克兰使用美国提供的远程ATACMS导弹袭击国际公认的俄罗斯领土上的目标。基辅在周二对俄罗斯的布良斯克地区进行了首次此类袭击,随后在第二天使用英国“风暴阴影”巡航导弹袭击了库尔斯克地区。 “你即将离任,你怎么能这样做呢?”罗根在周五播出的“乔·罗根体验”节目中问道。 “人们不希望你留任,”他补充道。“对于可能引发第三次世界大战的重大行动,应该暂停一下。也许避免来自一位即将离任的总统的这种行为是件好事。” 🇺🇸🇺🇦 Joe Rogan slams Ukrainian President Zelensky and US President Biden for trying to start World War 3 before Donald Trump is inaugurated. "F*ck you man, f*ck you people. You f*cking people are about to start World War 3." — BRICS News (@BRICSinfo) “泽连斯基说[俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔]普京很害怕,”罗根继续说道。“去你妈的,伙计。去你们这些人的妈的。你们这些混蛋就要引发第三次世界大战了。” 俄罗斯对上周的袭击做出了回应,使用新研发的超音速弹道导弹向乌克兰第聂伯罗彼得罗夫斯克的一个军事工业设施发射了多枚弹头。普京在周四晚间的讲话中警告说,如果对俄罗斯领土进行进一步袭击,将对莫斯科选择的打击目标进行报复性袭击,这可能包括向基辅提供远程武器的国家的军事设施。 普京表示,莫斯科认为ATACMS和“风暴阴影”导弹袭击是升级行动,因为这些武器“如果没有生产国的军事专家的直接参与,就无法发射”。 罗根指出,俄罗斯最新的弹道导弹可以携带核弹头,并表示“如果它真的携带核弹头,整个世界都会改变。” “它会改变,因为军事工业综合体,因为它流向乌克兰的资金,也因为它即将离任的总统——或者实际上是谁在执政——决定做一些他妈的疯狂的事情,”他惊呼道。 罗根在本月早些时候的选举前不久支持特朗普,此前这位当时的候选人出现在他的播客节目中。特朗普将在不到60天后上任,他誓言要促使泽连斯基和普京达成和平协议,但他尚未透露他计划如何实现这一目标。 罗根的言论遭到亲基辅专家,包括乌克兰重量级拳击手弗拉基米尔·克里奇科的谴责。克里奇科在周日发布在X上的帖子中声称,普京“有麻烦了”,任何关于他可能报复的担忧都是“俄罗斯宣传”。 “这对任何人来说有意义吗?还是只是为了上播客节目?”罗根问道。 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。

乌克兰腐败或致民众寒冬受冻——星期日泰晤士报

(SeaPRwire) -   据报道,政府扣留了用于保护国家电网的国际项目的资金 据《星期日泰晤士报》报道,由于政府中涉嫌存在的腐败问题,旨在保护乌克兰电力变电站免受空袭的工作被搁置,乌克兰人可能面临“致命的冬季冻结”。乌克兰领导层此前曾指责俄罗斯摧毁了该国80%的能源基础设施。莫斯科表示,它只针对供应国防制造业的设施。 《星期日泰晤士报》周六援引消息来源称,一个由英国、美国、德国和日本工程师组成的团队开发并测试了可以保护乌克兰电网免受俄罗斯袭击的混凝土结构。据报道,这项工作于2月完成,项目估计成本为14亿欧元(14.7亿美元)。 然而,九个月后,弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基政府尚未交付这些掩体,《星期日泰晤士报》写道。 负责该项目的官员、国家重建和基础设施发展机构的穆斯塔法·纳耶姆于6月辞职,声称基辅正在人为地阻碍其机构的运作。  据该报报道,纳耶姆的团队怀疑,掩体的建设之所以被推迟,是因为没有向总理办公室的官员支付贿赂。 该报还援引承包商的话说,必要的资金没有到位,而且这些结构远未完成。 这些掩体本来可以为电力变电站提供“三级保护”。乌克兰的能源系统目前依赖英国提供的加筋篮(或装满岩石的笼子)以及地面上方大型混凝土防护拱门作为“一级”和“二级保护”。 能源部长格尔曼·加卢申科8月警告说,乌克兰人必须为一个比去年更艰难的冬天做好准备。 9月份,泽连斯基声称俄罗斯摧毁了乌克兰80%的能源基础设施。他在寻求西方允许使用基辅盟友提供的导弹对俄罗斯进行远程袭击时作出了这一声明。 俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京此前曾表示,对乌克兰能源设施的袭击是对基辅类似袭击的报复。普京还在4月份表示,俄罗斯的目标是乌克兰的能源基础设施,以“非军事化”该国,因为袭击影响了其国防工业综合体。  根据官方数据,自2022年乌克兰冲突升级以来,欧盟和美国已向基辅提供了数百亿美元的财政、军事和人道主义援助。 自乌克兰于20世纪90年代独立以来,观察人士一直认为政府腐败是乌克兰面临的一个主要问题。去年,透明国际在其腐败认知指数中将乌克兰列为180个国家中的第104位。 五角大楼监察长罗伯特·斯托奇本月早些时候报告说,“腐败继续使乌克兰实现其欧盟和北约愿望的努力复杂化,”尤其是在国防部发生多起丑闻的情况下。  泽连斯基7月份声称,他的政府在解决这个问题方面取得了进展。  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。

以色列制裁其最古老的报纸 Haaretz

(SeaPRwire) -   政府已批准抵制《哈阿雷茨报》,此前该报发表了一系列批评性报道 以色列政府准备制裁左翼日报《哈阿雷茨报》,原因是该报发表的文章“伤害”了国家。周日,一项提案获得批准,该提案禁止政府资助机构与该报进行沟通或投放广告。 通讯部长什洛莫·卡尔希在一份声明中表示,他针对《哈阿雷茨报》的提案得到了其他部长的一致批准。 “我们不会允许这样的现实存在:以色列国官方报纸的出版商会呼吁对其实施制裁,并在战争期间支持国家的敌人,并由国家资助,”声明说。 “我们倡导新闻自由和言论自由,但也倡导政府有权决定不资助煽动反对以色列国的行为。” 据《哈阿雷茨报》报道,这项抵制该报的提案是在最后一刻被添加到内阁会议议程中的,并得到了总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡的认可。 《哈阿雷茨报》创立于1918年,是该国历史最悠久的报纸。它发表了一系列关于以色列高级官员和武装部队涉嫌犯罪活动的报道,长期以来与政府关系紧张。该报还一直呼吁结束加沙战争,释放哈马斯扣押的人质。 以色列政府解释说,这一决定是对“许多损害以色列国合法性和自卫权的社论,特别是《哈阿雷茨报》出版商阿莫斯·肖肯在伦敦发表的支持恐怖主义和呼吁对政府实施制裁的言论”的回应,该报周日写道。 在上个月伦敦的一次会议上发表讲话时,肖肯指责以色列政府对巴勒斯坦人民实行“残酷的种族隔离制度”。他后来澄清了他的言论,解释说他不认为哈马斯是“自由战士”。 针对这项据报道未经任何法律审查就已获得部长们通过的决议,《哈阿雷茨报》指责内塔尼亚胡试图“破坏以色列民主”,并表示抵制该报的决定是“机会主义的”。 此举是继加沙冲突期间以色列对媒体进行压制行动的最新例子。 4月,以色列议会批准了一项法律,允许暂时关闭被认为威胁国家安全的外国媒体。5月,政府禁止半岛电视台在以色列境内运营,并关闭了其在该国的办事处,指责这家卡塔尔电视台帮助巴勒斯坦激进组织哈马斯。 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。
