  • Slow aid in Syria after the earthquake: “total failure”

    The international community and the Syrian government did not act quickly enough to help victims of the earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria last month, according to a UN-backed commission.

    In total, more than 50,000 people died in the earthquake, of which over 6,000 of them were in Syria. The commission now states that it took a full week for the UN and President Bashar al-Assad to agree to open border crossings in the rebel-held region bordering Turkey.

    – Since the earthquake happened, we have seen many Syrians who did what they could on their own to help those who fell victim. At the same time, we witnessed a total failure by the government and the international community to urgently provide life-saving aid to northwestern Syria, Commissioner Paulo Pinheiro said at a press briefing in Geneva.

    The US government has approved the Willow oil venture in Alaska. This allows the oil giant Conoco Phillips to drill for oil in three locations on a federally owned area in western Alaska, TT reports.

    The project is described as the largest in the area in decades. And could produce upwards of 180,000 barrels of oil a day for the next 30 years.

  • Australia buys five nuclear submarines for Pacific deployment

    The US sells five nuclear-powered submarines to Australia when the Aukus military pact takes real shape, TT reports.

    The three leaders must agree on how Chinese expansion in the region should be met in the Pacific.

    Australia’s purchase of American submarines and the investments surrounding them are expected to cost 368 billion Australian dollars over the next 30 years. This corresponds to around SEK 2,600 billion.

  • Women protest in Iran – refuse hijab

    Women across Iran are taking off their hijabs in protest against the regime, reports say NPR.

    – They have to get used to the fact that we women have our own freedom, says Niloufar, 24, to NPR.

    The protests gained momentum after 22-year-old Mahsa Amini died in police custody after being arrested by morality police for wearing her headscarf “incorrectly”.

    On signs around galleries and in restaurants, there are signs that women should keep wearing their hijab.

    But according to Niloufar, nobody has stopped her recently to ask her to wear it.

    – Not since the protests, she says.

    The pension company Alecta knew that Silicon Valley Bank had problems, says Alecta’s CEO Magnus Billing i Current.

    – We have of course had a close dialogue with SVB and have also drawn attention to these things with withdrawals increasing, that the investments in long-term fixed income securities have affected the liquidity in the company. We thought that the action plan presented by the company was good.

    But according to Magnus Billing, the bank chose to do something different than what they presented to the owners when it came down to it.

    – Then the company chose, for reasons I do not know, to go out and do another type of action by selling securities and going out with an issue to the market without having guaranteed it with investors. I think that was a big mistake.
