(SeaPRwire) - 一个由1200人组成的、主要由古巴人组成的移民大篷车队伍，从墨西哥南部的塔帕丘拉市出发，开始了长达数周的追求更好经济机会的旅程。但他们的目的地不是美国边境，而是墨西哥城。这支大篷车的目的地标志着区域趋势的显著转变，因为总统的严格移民政策正在生效。这支大篷车于本月早些时候出发，预计需要数周才能到达目的地。在那里，移民们希望能在墨西哥首都找到薪水更高的工作，而不是留在贫困的南部。塔帕丘拉位于墨西哥最贫困的恰帕斯州，多年来一直在努力应对移民危机，因为它靠近与危地马拉的边境。长期以来，该地区一直有来自北三角地区的民众为逃离帮派暴力和贫困而涌入。据Washington Office on Latin America称，这群移民正在利用社交媒体寻求帮助，以处理寻求正式居住在墨西哥城的人的庇护案件和适当文件。《El Pais》上周报道称，对寻求重新安置援助的移民来说，仍然是一个主要问题。报道称，这个问题仍然是困扰Mexican Commission for Refugee Assistance的主要障碍之一。尽管担心在试图迁往时会遭遇经济上的盘剥，但这家总部位于西班牙的媒体报道称，许多移民仍然认为留在那里比在特朗普执政下前往美国更可取。“我为什么要回美国？他们讨厌我们，”一位带着2岁女儿和18岁儿子的古巴妇女告诉新闻机构。尽管在特朗普执政期间，尤其是在他的第二任期内，移民到美国的人数大幅下降，但古巴移民决定不在美国寻求新生活——尽管佛罗里达和纽约等地已经有与美国有深厚联系的大型社区——这一决定意义重大。但要判断这是否会成为一种持久趋势，现在还为时过早，Foundation for Defense of Democracies经济和金融权力中心（CEFP）高级主任兼负责人Elaine Dezenski告诉Digital。她说：“根据International Organization for Migration的数据，2025年年中在墨西哥各地接受调查的约50%的移民表示，他们将墨西哥视为目的地——高于2024年底的不到25%。”“这表明美国边境执法和遣返的加强正在影响移民的选择，更多人选择在墨西哥寻求庇护和工作许可，而不是继续前往美国。”自特朗普重返最高职位以来的几个月里，Customs and Border Protection报告的南部边境遭遇事件数量与往年相比有所。今年早些时候，Migration Policy Institute指出，每月南部边境遭遇事件的数量与此前未曾见的水平持平。Dezenski警告说，尽管对非法移民进入美国的控制将被一些人视为边境安全的积极调整，但仍需要就移民在维持健康经济中的作用进行“认真对话”。她说：“墨西哥和美国都在关键部门面临劳动力短缺。虽然不受控制的非法移民不是解决方案，但美国缺乏全面的移民改革可能会导致许多工作岗位空缺——尤其是在农业等严重依赖移民劳动的行业。”“今天，移民改革常常与边境安全划等号。”Dezenski说：“然而，我们还需要就我们的经济所需的基本技能和劳动力以及移民在维持长期经济健康方面的作用进行认真对话。”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。

(SeaPRwire) - FOX 独家报道：美国共和党参议员克鲁兹与尼日利亚政府官员之间正在展开一场外交战。这位得克萨斯州参议员警告称，他将追究尼日利亚据报发生的“大规模屠杀”数万名基督徒的责任。尼日利亚官员则称克鲁兹在撒谎，其中一人声称，尽管教皇也公开谴责这些杀戮事件，但该国宗教和谐。根据国际基督教倡导组织 Open Doors International 的《2025年世界守望名单》（World Watch List，简称WWL），尼日利亚是世界上对基督徒而言最危险的国家之一。估计有48%的人口是基督徒。但在WWL最新报告期内全球报告的4,476名被杀害的基督徒中，有3,100名（69%）发生在尼日利亚。周六，尼日利亚总统博拉·艾哈迈德·蒂努布的发言人告诉拉各斯一家报纸，克鲁兹应该“停止这些关于谋杀的恶意捏造的谎言”。对此，担任参议院非洲和全球健康政策小组委员会主席的克鲁兹告诉 FOX Digital，“尼日利亚联邦政府和十几个州政府在其刑法和伊斯兰教法典中强制执行亵渎法，他们无视或纵容针对基督徒的暴徒暴力。”周五，尼日利亚新闻部长穆罕默德·伊德里斯（Mohammed Idris）在接受 FOX Digital 独家采访时，驳斥了克鲁兹关于其国家存在（宗教暴力）的说法。他说：“尼日利亚政府否认这一点。这绝不是真的。”作为回应，克鲁兹告诉 FOX Digital，这些杀戮“是特定人物在特定地点、特定时间做出的决定的结果。美国知道这些人是谁，我打算追究他们的责任”。克鲁兹说：“自2009年以来，尼日利亚已有超过5万名基督徒被屠杀，超过2万座教堂和基督教学校被摧毁。这些暴行与尼日利亚联邦和州政府官员的政策直接相关。它们是特定人物在特定地点、特定时间做出的决定的结果——现在这些问题被曝光，这很大程度上说明了是谁在激烈反击。”周五，克鲁兹在 X 上发帖称：“尼日利亚官员正在无视甚至纵容伊斯兰圣战分子对基督徒的大规模谋杀。现在是追究那些负责任者的时候了。”他还提到了他向参议院提出的一项新法案：“我的《尼日利亚宗教自由问责法案》将通过有力的制裁和其他手段，针对这些官员。”这立即引来了尼日利亚总统发言人巴约·奥南努加（Bayo Onanuga）的回应。第二天接受尼日利亚 Daily Post 采访时，奥南努加要求：“参议员，请停止这些针对我国的恶意捏造的谎言。基督徒没有成为目标。我国有宗教和谐。”伊德里斯告诉 FOX Digital，克鲁兹的言论“非常具有误导性。这不是事实。这不反映实际情况。我的意思是，你说超过2万座教堂被烧毁是错误的。如果你说有52,000人（被杀），那也是错误的，他从哪里得到这些数字？我认为这绝对荒谬。这没有任何事实支持。尼日利亚政府否认这一点。没有任何尼日利亚官员会心甘情愿、故意地与暴力极端分子站在一起，针对这个国家的任何特定宗教。这绝对是虚假的。”伊德里斯还表示：“尼日利亚是一个多信仰国家，这意味着它是一个拥有多种宗教的国家。我们有基督徒，有穆斯林，甚至还有不信仰这两种宗教的人。尼日利亚是一个非常宽容的国家。尼日利亚政府致力于确保这个国家的宗教自由，但我们确实有极端主义组织。” 伊德里斯继续说道：“不幸的是，这些极端分子在暴力极端主义得到支持的几乎所有地方都杀害了一些基督徒和一些穆斯林。因此，（克鲁兹参议员的指控）不属实。我们认为这非常不幸。这是卑鄙的，不对的。声称存在有预谋或故意的企图来杀害特定的宗教群体，这绝对是错误的，我们对此感到非常非常遗憾。Open Doors 的娜塔莉·布莱尔（Natalie Blair）表示，来自尼日利亚的独立数据显示，“基督徒可能成为激进极端分子的目标，而激进极端分子可以（攻击）不符合其激进意识形态的人。”但 Open Doors 倡导团队的高级成员布莱尔告诉 FOX Digital，“博科圣地（Boko Haram）和ISWAP（伊斯兰国西非省）已经明确且反复宣称基督徒是他们的目标。许多受害者告诉我们，当富拉尼武装分子袭击时，他们不仅仅高喊‘真主至大’（Allahu Akbar），他们还大喊‘我们将摧毁所有基督徒’。”布莱尔补充说：“根据 Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa 的数据，在尼日利亚北部被杀害的平民（不包括军人与恐怖分子死亡人数）情况明确无误：基督徒被极端分子杀害的人数多于穆斯林——如果你是基督徒，你被杀的可能性是穆斯林的6.5倍。这并没有减少穆斯林所受苦难的重要性，只是说明其可能性较小。”威尔弗雷德·阿纳格贝主教（Bishop Wilfred Anagbe）的马库尔迪教区几乎全是基督徒。但穆斯林富拉尼武装分子不断升级的袭击，促使他于三月在华盛顿向（国会）作证，称尼日利亚存在“一项长期的伊斯兰同化议程。这项议程在多任总统任期内通过一项策略得以实施，旨在削弱并最终消除尼日利亚一半人口的基督教身份。这些恐怖分子正在进行圣战，征服领土并相应地重新命名它们。” 伊德里斯对主教的国会证词不屑一顾：“我想说，主教的立场是极端的。这不是事实。尼日利亚政府过去已经驳斥过这一点。”Open Doors 的布莱尔，在接触了尼日利亚村民后回应道：“我们必须倾听那些亲身经历过暴力的人们的声音。当地民众不相信会有人为这些暴力罪行付出代价。这是因为他们看到多年来数百名嫌疑人被捕，然后其中大多数人被释放，从未被起诉或审判。”布莱尔总结道：“《1999年尼日利亚宪法》第33条保障的生命权毫无意义，除非国家果断采取行动惩罚那些侵犯生命权的人。持续的有罪不罚文化只会导致更多的流血事件，并继续侵蚀公众对法治的信任。”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。

JAKARTA, Oct 7, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Indonesia reaffirmed its ambition to become the hub for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) in the Asia-Pacific region, marked by the opening of The 3rd International & Indonesia CCS Forum 2025 (IICCS Forum 2025), from Oct 7~8 at the Mulia Hotel, Jakarta, under the theme "Advancing Indonesia as a CCS Hub Leader in the Asia Pacific: Achieving Net Zero and Economic Growth.” The forum is supported by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, and People's Consultative Assembly of the Republic of Indonesia (MPR RI).The opening session featured high-level discussions with government officials, energy industry experts, academics, and global investors. Deputy Speaker of People’s Consultative Assembly Eddy Soeparno emphasized that the government is committed to accelerating the implementation of CCS through clear regulations, investment incentives, and inter-ministerial coordination. He noted, however, that success will not be achieved without collaboration among all stakeholders—government, industry, academia, and investors. With strong cooperation, he expressed confidence that Indonesia can become a CCS hub in APAC, while ensuring a just energy transition that delivers long-term economic benefits for society.As the host, Belladonna Troxylon Maulianda, Executive Director of the Indonesia CCS Center (ICCSC), stressed that the forum was designed to drive tangible collaboration: “The IICCS Forum is a space where all stakeholders can come together to find joint solutions. We hope this forum will generate policy recommendations, partnerships, and new projects that accelerate CCS implementation in Indonesia,” she said.Echoing this, Evan Lukas, Chairman of The 3rd IICCS Forum 2025 and Director of Indonesia Advocacy & Policy Development at ExxonMobil Low Carbon Solutions, added: “This forum is more than just a discussion. We want every session to result in concrete actions that make Indonesia a CCS investment magnet and a regional success story,” he noted.The 3rd IICCS Forum 2025 features Plenary and Panel Sessions on strategies to establish Indonesia as a regional CCS hub, Policy and Investment Sessions on regulatory frameworks, incentives, and CCS business models, as well as Technical Workshops and Project Showcases highlighting lessons from domestic and global CCS projects. The forum also includes an Exhibition and Networking Session to connect industry players with potential strategic partners and investors.This event aligns with Indonesia’s commitment to reducing emissions by up to 43.2% by 2030 (with international support) and achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2060 or sooner. CCS is seen as a key technology supporting the energy transition, particularly in hard-to-abate sectors.In addition to reducing emissions, CCS has the potential to create a new economic value chain—ranging from carbon storage infrastructure development and job creation to opening new business opportunities for the energy, manufacturing, and logistics sectors.This forum marks a significant step forward for Indonesia in ensuring that the energy transition not only supports climate targets but also creates long-term economic benefits for society. The full support and synergy between the government and industry, along with the strategic role of On Us Asia as a co-organizing partner, make this forum not just a platform for discussion, but a concrete step toward Indonesia’s leadership in the global energy transition.For more information on The 3rd IICCS Forum 2025, visit the official website: www.iiccsforum.com About IICCSThe International & Indonesia Carbon Capture and Storage (IICCS) Forum is a platform dedicated to promoting CCS technology and facilitating collaboration between governments and industries in addressing climate change through CCS implementation.About ICCSCThe Indonesia Carbon Capture and Storage Center (ICCSC) is a community of experts from various industry, including engineering, science, policy, and business, united by a shared commitment to finding practical solutions to COâ‚‚ emission challenges.

The Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA), in partnership with Feedzai, has released the Global State of Scams 2025 Report. Based on a survey of 46,000 adults across 42 markets, the report provides a comprehensive analysis of the prevalence, impact, and policy challenges of scams worldwide.GASA's Global State of ScamsIn the past 12 months, 57 percent of adults worldwide experienced a scam and 23 percent lost money. Shopping scams affected 54 percent of victims, while investment scams and unexpected money scams each impacted 48 percent. Scam encounters were most frequent in South America, Africa, and Oceania, where up to one in four adults lost money in the last year.The research also highlights the emotional toll of scams. 69 percent of victims reported (huge) stress as a result, while 17 percent reported a loss of confidence and 14 percent said scams created heightened tension within their family unit. Despite this, many scams remain unreported, with uncertainty over where to report being the main barrier.93% of adults globally claim to take at least one step to verify if an offer is legitimate or not. However, many often rely on methods that are less effective such as checking for spelling and grammar errors (27%); looking for reviews on the same website (24%) and checking if the company is on social media (21%).Despite nearly three quarters of adults globally feeling confident in their ability to recognise a scam, scams remain prevalent, with many scam victims losing money and a significant proportion never reporting their encounters.Jorij Abraham, Managing Director of GASA, comments: "We have a huge challenge, 73 percent of people worldwide feel confident they can recognize scams, however, nearly a quarter still lost money in the past year. Scams are not only draining finances but also eroding trust and creating significant stress within families. We are learning that scam awareness campaigns alone are not enough. We need to continuously educate consumers, build better solutions to recognize and block (AI) scams and work internationally closer to get to catch the scammers."Fraud isn't just about transactions anymore. It's about intent. Criminals are exploiting trust, behavior, and technology in real time. Stopping them takes more than spotting anomalies; it takes understanding human patterns. No single bank or payment provider can do that alone. The only way forward is collaboration across financial institutions and cybersecurity teams. That's how we protect consumers everywhere." adds Nuno Sebastião, CEO, FeedzaiThe Global State of Scams 2025 Report emphasizes that scams are no longer isolated crimes but a global threat to consumer safety, financial stability, and trust in digital economies. GASA and Feedzai call for stronger international collaboration, better scam prevention tools, and accountability across platforms, governments, and industries.The full report can be downloaded here: https://www.gasa.org/researchContact InformationMetje van der MeerMarketing Directormetje.vandermeer@gasa.orgSOURCE: Global Anti-Scam Alliance Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

LONDON, Oct 7, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - HotelRunner, a leading travel and hospitality technology platform, and Visa, a global leader in digital payments, have announced a global strategic preferred partnership to empower businesses of all sizes across the travel and hospitality industry. The collaboration brings together Visa's trusted global infrastructure and secure cross-border payments capabilities with HotelRunner's deep presence and extensive reach in hospitality technology. Solving the "last-mile" challenge in tourism and democratizing financial access for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in emerging markets, HotelRunner is collaborating with Visa to provide robust technology infrastructure and B2B connectivity that enables accommodation providers, from boutique hotels in Morocco to guesthouses in Bali, to get paid quickly and securely across borders.By uniting their strengths, the two companies aim to accelerate economic growth across the global travel and hospitality ecosystem while delivering seamless, secure, and scalable financial solutions. This partnership sets the foundation for a new era of embedded finance with a specific focus on independent hotels by providing access to global payment rails."Travel runs on trust, and trust depends on secure, reliable infrastructure," said Ali Beklen, Founder and Managing Partner of HotelRunner. "By combining HotelRunner's global hospitality network with Visa's unmatched expertise, we are building the autonomous financial infrastructure of travel. This is not only about payments; it is about building the financial rails that will power the next decade of global tourism. We are reshaping the future of cross-border travel commerce, making it safer, smarter, and more inclusive for businesses worldwide."On this partnership, Arden Agopyan, Founder and Managing Partner of HotelRunner, said, "HotelRunner has spent more than a decade building the digital backbone of hospitality. For too long, small and independent accommodations and travel agencies have been excluded from global financial flows and the payments economy. Together with Visa, we're changing that. We're combining our reach and reliable platform with one of the world's most trusted networks to create a new standard for autonomous, secure, seamless, and scalable travel payments.""Our collaboration with HotelRunner demonstrates how together we can drive innovation across the B2B travel ecosystem. By combining Visa's trusted global payments network with HotelRunner's hospitality platform, we're enabling travel businesses to connect, transact, and grow more seamlessly and securely. Together, we're helping to unlock new opportunities, and strengthen the global travel ecosystem" Tania Platt, Global Head of B2B Travel, Visa.Operating globally, this collaboration will bring Visa and HotelRunner together with key travel companies in Europe, APAC, the Middle East, Africa, and beyond.
