FDA Accepts LEQEMBI (lecanemab-irmb) Biologics License Application for Subcutaneous Maintenance Dosing for the Treatment of Early Alzheimer’s Disease JCN Newswire

FDA Accepts LEQEMBI (lecanemab-irmb) Biologics License Application for Subcutaneous Maintenance Dosing for the Treatment of Early Alzheimer’s Disease

January 15, 2025
TOKYO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan 15, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. and Biogen Inc. announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted Eisai’s Biologics License Application (BLA) for lecanemab-irmb (U.S. brand name: LEQEMBI®) subcutaneous autoinjector (SC-AI) for weekly maintenance dosing. LEQEMBI is indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or mild dementia stage of disease (collectively referred to as early AD). A Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date is set for August 31, 2025.The BLA is based on data from the Clarity AD (Study 301) open-label extension (OLE) and modeling of observed data. If LEQEMBI subcutaneous maintenance dosing is approved by the FDA, LEQEMBI will be the only treatment for AD that can be administered subcutaneously at home using an autoinjector (AI). The injection process is expected to take, on average, 15 seconds. As part of the SC-AI 360 mg weekly maintenance regimen, patients who have completed the biweekly intravenous (IV) initiation phase, exact period under discussion with the FDA, would receive weekly doses that are expected to maintain the clinical and biomarker benefits.AD is a progressive, relentless disease caused by a continuous underlying neurotoxic process that begins before and continues after plaque deposition.1,2,3 Only LEQEMBI works to fight AD in two ways by continuously clearing protofibrils and rapidly clearing plaque. With continuous administration, LEQEMBI clears highly toxic protofibrils* which can continue to cause neuronal injury even after amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaque has been cleared from the brain. Long-term three-year LEQEMBI data presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) 2024 suggest that early and continuing treatment may prolong the benefit of therapy even after plaque is cleared from the brain.4The SC-AI is expected to be simple and easy for patients and their care partners to use, and may reduce the need for hospital or infusion site visits and nursing care for IV administration, which will make it easier to continue maintenance administration and may contribute to further simplifying the treatment pathway for AD.LEQEMBI is approved in the U.S., Japan, China, South Korea, Hong Kong, Israel, UAE, Great Britain, Mexico, and Macau. In November 2024, the treatment received a positive opinion from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommending approval. Eisai has submitted applications for approval of lecanemab in 17 countries and regions. The US FDA accepted Eisai’s Supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for monthly LEQEMBI IV maintenance dosing in June 2024 and set a PDUFA action date for January 25, 2025.Eisai serves as the lead for lecanemab’s development and regulatory submissions globally with Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.*Protofibrils are believed to contribute to the brain injury that occurs with AD and are considered to be the most toxic form of Aβ, having a primary role in the cognitive decline associated with this progressive, debilitating condition.5 Protofibrils cause injury to neurons in the brain, which in turn, can negatively impact cognitive function via multiple mechanisms, not only increasing the development of insoluble Aβ plaques but also increasing direct damage to brain cell membranes and the connections that transmit signals between nerve cells or nerve cells and other cells. It is believed the reduction of protofibrils may prevent the progression of AD by reducing damage to neurons in the brain and cognitive dysfunction.6 INDICATIONLEQEMBI® [(lecanemab-irmb) 100 mg/mL injection for intravenous use] is indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Treatment with LEQEMBI should be initiated in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia stage of disease, the population in which treatment was initiated in clinical trials.CONTRAINDICATIONLEQEMBI is contraindicated in patients with serious hypersensitivity to lecanemab-irmb or to any of the excipients of LEQEMBI. Reactions have included angioedema and anaphylaxis.WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS AMYLOID-RELATED IMAGING ABNORMALITIESMedications in this class, including LEQEMBI, can cause ARIA-E, which can be observed on MRI as brain edema or sulcal effusions, and ARIA-H, which includes microhemorrhage and superficial siderosis. ARIA can occur spontaneously in patients with AD, particularly in patients with MRI findings suggestive of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), such as pretreatment microhemorrhage or superficial siderosis. ARIA-H generally occurs with ARIA-E. Reported ARIA symptoms may include headache, confusion, visual changes, dizziness, nausea, and gait difficulty. Focal neurologic deficits may also occur. Symptoms usually resolve over time.Incidence of ARIASymptomatic ARIA occurred in 3% and serious ARIA symptoms in 0.7% with LEQEMBI. Clinical ARIA symptoms resolved in 79% of patients during the period of observation. ARIA, including asymptomatic radiographic events, was observed: LEQEMBI, 21%; placebo, 9%. ARIA-E was observed: LEQEMBI, 13%; placebo, 2%. ARIA-H was observed: LEQEMBI, 17%; placebo, 9%. No increase in isolated ARIA-H was observed for LEQEMBI vs placebo.Incidence of ICHICH >1 cm in diameter was reported in 0.7% with LEQEMBI vs 0.1% with placebo. Fatal events of ICH in patients taking LEQEMBI have been observed.Risk Factors of ARIA and ICHApoE ε4 Carrier StatusOf the patients taking LEQEMBI, 16% were ApoE ε4 homozygotes, 53% were heterozygotes, and 31% were noncarriers. With LEQEMBI, ARIA was higher in ApoE ε4 homozygotes (LEQEMBI: 45%; placebo: 22%) than in heterozygotes (LEQEMBI: 19%; placebo: 9%) and noncarriers (LEQEMBI: 13%; placebo: 4%). Symptomatic ARIA-E occurred in 9% of ApoE ε4 homozygotes vs 2% of heterozygotes and 1% of noncarriers. Serious ARIA events occurred in 3% of ApoE ε4 homozygotes and in ~1% of heterozygotes and noncarriers. The recommendations on management of ARIA do not differ between ApoE ε4 carriers and noncarriers.Radiographic Findings of CAANeuroimaging findings that may indicate CAA include evidence of prior ICH, cerebral microhemorrhage, and cortical superficial siderosis. CAA has an increased risk for ICH. The presence of an ApoE ε4 allele is also associated with CAA.The baseline presence of at least 2 microhemorrhages or the presence of at least 1 area of superficial siderosis on MRI, which may be suggestive of CAA, have been identified as risk factors for ARIA. Patients were excluded from Clarity AD for the presence of >4 microhemorrhages and additional findings suggestive of CAA (prior cerebral hemorrhage >1 cm in greatest diameter, superficial siderosis, vasogenic edema) or other lesions (aneurysm, vascular malformation) that could potentially increase the risk of ICH.Concomitant Antithrombotic or Thrombolytic MedicationIn Clarity AD, baseline use of antithrombotic medication (aspirin, other antiplatelets, or anticoagulants) was allowed if the patient was on a stable dose. Most exposures were to aspirin. Antithrombotic medications did not increase the risk of ARIA with LEQEMBI. The incidence of ICH: 0.9% in patients taking LEQEMBI with a concomitant antithrombotic medication vs 0.6% with no antithrombotic and 2.5% in patients taking LEQEMBI with an anticoagulant alone or with antiplatelet medication such as aspirin vs none in patients receiving placebo.Fatal cerebral hemorrhage has occurred in 1 patient taking an anti-amyloid monoclonal antibody in the setting of focal neurologic symptoms of ARIA and the use of a thrombolytic agent.Additional caution should be exercised when considering the administration of antithrombotics or a thrombolytic agent (e.g., tissue plasminogen activator) to a patient already being treated with LEQEMBI. Because ARIA-E can cause focal neurologic deficits that can mimic an ischemic stroke, treating clinicians should consider whether such symptoms could be due to ARIA-E before giving thrombolytic therapy in a patient being treated with LEQEMBI.Caution should be exercised when considering the use of LEQEMBI in patients with factors that indicate an increased risk for ICH and, in particular, patients who need to be on anticoagulant therapy or patients with findings on MRI that are suggestive of CAA.Radiographic Severity With LEQEMBIMost ARIA-E radiographic events occurred within the first 7 doses, although ARIA can occur at any time, and patients can have >1 episode. Maximum radiographic severity of ARIA-E with LEQEMBI was mild in 4%, moderate in 7%, and severe in 1% of patients. Resolution on MRI occurred in 52% of ARIA-E patients by 12 weeks, 81% by 17 weeks, and 100% overall after detection. Maximum radiographic severity of ARIA-H microhemorrhage with LEQEMBI was mild in 9%, moderate in 2%, and severe in 3% of patients; superficial siderosis was mild in 4%, moderate in 1%, and severe in 0.4% of patients. With LEQEMBI, the rate of severe radiographic ARIA-E was highest in ApoE ε4 homozygotes (5%) vs heterozygotes (0.4%) or noncarriers (0%). With LEQEMBI, the rate of severe radiographic ARIA-H was highest in ApoE ε4 homozygotes (13.5%) vs heterozygotes (2.1%) or noncarriers (1.1%).Monitoring and Dose Management GuidelinesBaseline brain MRI and periodic monitoring with MRI are recommended. Enhanced clinical vigilance for ARIA is recommended during the first 14 weeks of treatment. Depending on ARIA-E and ARIA-H clinical symptoms and radiographic severity, use clinical judgment when considering whether to continue dosing or to temporarily or permanently discontinue LEQEMBI. If a patient experiences ARIA symptoms, clinical evaluation should be performed, including MRI if indicated. If ARIA is observed on MRI, careful clinical evaluation should be performed prior to continuing treatment.HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONSHypersensitivity reactions, including angioedema, bronchospasm, and anaphylaxis, have occurred with LEQEMBI. Promptly discontinue the infusion upon the first observation of any signs or symptoms consistent with a hypersensitivity reaction and initiate appropriate therapy.INFUSION-RELATED REACTIONS (IRRs)IRRs were observed—LEQEMBI: 26%; placebo: 7%—and most cases with LEQEMBI (75%) occurred with the first infusion. IRRs were mostly mild (69%) or moderate (28%). Symptoms included fever and flu-like symptoms (chills, generalized aches, feeling shaky, and joint pain), nausea, vomiting, hypotension, hypertension, and oxygen desaturation.In the event of an IRR, the infusion rate may be reduced or discontinued, and appropriate therapy initiated as clinically indicated. Consider prophylactic treatment prior to future infusions with antihistamines, acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or corticosteroids. ADVERSE REACTIONSThe most common adverse reactions reported in ≥5% with LEQEMBI and ≥2% higher than placebo were IRRs (LEQEMBI: 26%; placebo: 7%), ARIA-H (LEQEMBI: 14%; placebo: 8%), ARIA-E (LEQEMBI: 13%; placebo: 2%), headache (LEQEMBI: 11%; placebo: 8%), superficial siderosis of central nervous system (LEQEMBI: 6%; placebo: 3%), rash (LEQEMBI: 6%; placebo: 4%), and nausea/vomiting (LEQEMBI: 6%; placebo: 4%).

哈瑪斯已接受加沙停火及釋放人質協議草案：官員 “`

January 14, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - 據美聯社引述「參與談判的官員」報道，哈馬斯據報已同意一份與以色列的協議草案，其中包括釋放數十名人質。這項潛在協議是數月來首次顯示以色列和哈馬斯之間持續一年多的戰爭可能即將結束的跡象。據報，協議將分三個階段進行，第一階段將啟動為期42天的停火。在此期間，將釋放33名人質，包括兒童、婦女、女兵、50歲以上男性和人道主義個案。作為交換，哈馬斯將收到數百名巴勒斯坦囚犯，包括一些知名囚犯。一位以色列政府官員表示，2023年10月7日被哈馬斯從以色列綁架的33名人質中，「大多數」仍然在世。關於以人質交換囚犯的問題，以色列政府官員指出，讓這個恐怖組織釋放被俘人員需要付出「代價」。然而，消息來源誓言，以色列「在所有我們的人質返回家園之前，不會撤出加沙地帶」。作為協議第一階段的一部分，以色列將開始從加沙北部部分地區撤軍，允許巴勒斯坦人返回家園。然而，安全專家警告說，這可能讓哈馬斯得以重建實力。此外，在協議的第一階段，將向加沙地帶運送人道主義援助。第二階段的細節預計將在第一階段期間協商。然而，美聯社引述的一份協議草案顯示，在此階段，哈馬斯將釋放其餘在世的人質，以換取以色列軍隊「完全撤出」加沙地帶。據稱一位埃及官員告訴美聯社，在第一階段結束前，將會就第二階段和第三階段達成協議。一位以色列政府官員表示：「這是自2023年11月以來，我們真正與哈馬斯進行談判的唯一一次，他們在談判中並沒有玩弄花招。」該官員提到多起事件，例如……的去世和對該恐怖組織的國內壓力，是創造達成協議的正確「條件」的關鍵轉捩點。與美聯社交談的卡塔爾和以色列官員對這項可能結束戰爭的潛在協議表示樂觀。在這場持續15個月的戰爭中，已有數千人喪生，戰爭始於2023年10月7日哈馬斯發動的殘酷襲擊，造成1200多名以色列人喪生和……。Efrat Lachter 參與了本篇報道。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

研究發現，耶路撒冷大衛城發現的建築結構可追溯到第一聖殿時期

January 14, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - 根據一項新的研究，在城牆國家公園東側斜坡上發現的一座古代建築，據信曾於第一聖殿時期用於宗教儀式。該建築包含八個房間，內有祭壇、立石、榨油機和榨酒機等物品。挖掘主任伊萊·舒克倫在《Antiqot》科學期刊發表的一篇文章中表示，被發現的建築物可能是猶大居民用於宗教儀式的場所。該研究表明，這座保存狀況極佳的建築物可追溯到第一聖殿時期，是在以色列文物局在大衛城進行挖掘時發現的。「我們在2010年開始挖掘大衛城時，發現該遺址已被公元前8世紀的填充物封閉，這表明它在那段時間已停止使用，」舒克倫說。「我們發現的立石仍然直立在原位，建築物中的其他房間也保存完好。」舒克倫的文章提出，這座由八個鑿石房間組成的建築物是用於宗教目的，距離聖殿山上的聖殿不遠，僅幾百米。它也是耶路撒冷該時期唯一已知的此類建築，也是在以色列發現的少數幾座之一。該建築本身佔地約220平方米，共有八個房間，每個房間用途不同。一個房間裡有一個榨油機，用於生產油。另一個房間裡有一個榨酒機，用於釀酒。其他房間裡有一些東西，例如帶排水溝的雕刻設施（研究人員認為是祭壇）；一塊巨大的立石；以及一個刻有V形痕跡的地板，儘管研究人員對這些雕刻的目的仍然感到困惑。舒克倫推測，這些雕刻可能被用作儀式活動中使用的三腳架的底座。在建築物的邊緣是一個小洞穴，裡面藏有公元前8世紀的物品。這些物品包括炊具、帶有古代希伯來語銘文碎片的罐子、紡織錘、聖甲蟲、印章和研磨穀物的研磨石。舒克倫和他的團隊相信，該建築物一直使用到公元前8世紀，當時猶大王國統治。「該建築物在公元前8世紀停止使用，可能是希西家王的宗教改革的一部分，」舒克倫說。他想要將對耶路撒冷聖殿的崇拜集中起來，所以在這樣做的過程中，他廢除了遍布王國各地的宗教場所。它還描述說，在第一聖殿時期，聖殿外也使用了其他用於宗教儀式的場所，希西家王和約西亞王實施改革以消除這些場所。「近3000年後，耶路撒冷的聖經遺產仍在繼續，隨著時間的推移，它的相關性和意義只會不斷增加，對全球數十億人，而不仅仅是數百萬人具有意義，」大衛城內務主任澤夫·奧倫斯坦告訴Digital。「與大多數古代遺址不同，耶路撒冷的聖經遺產既永恒又及時——不僅僅局限於博物館和歷史書籍——而是理解當今世界——過去、現在和未來——的一個必要組成部分。」該建築的北部在1909年被英國探險家蒙塔古·帕克發現，他曾在耶路撒冷尋找約櫃和聖殿寶藏。直到2010年，舒克倫才開始挖掘該遺址，持續了幾個挖掘季節。「在大衛城發現的這一發現再次肯定了猶太人民與耶路撒冷3000多年來的持續聯繫——不僅僅是信仰問題，更是事實問題——從聖經時代到現代，」奧倫斯坦說。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

(SeaPRwire) - 近幾個月，俄羅斯和中國分別對波羅的海和南海的水域發動攻擊，讓高級官員擔心這並非「單純的巧合」。在過去幾年裡，這兩個地區的海上破壞活動似乎有所增加，近幾個月更是急劇上升，至少在11月開始的短短幾個月內就發生了三次獨立事件，而主要的嫌疑對象是俄羅斯和中國。「克里姆林宮多年來一直在對歐洲發動混合戰爭，從散播虛假訊息和網路攻擊到將能源供應武器化。自俄羅斯全面入侵烏克蘭以來，這些努力都急劇加劇，」歐盟高級代表卡婭·卡拉斯告訴 Digital。「然而，俄羅斯並不是我們面臨的唯一挑戰。」11月，波羅的海海底兩條電纜被切斷，一艘名為「益鵬3號」的中國籍商船被丹麥海軍攔截，並被迫在海上拋錨，而國際當局開始調查此事。據報導，這艘於11月15日離開俄羅斯烏斯季盧加港的中國船隻，被發現拖拽錨鏈，於11月17日切斷了連接瑞典和立陶宛的海底電纜，並於18日切斷了芬蘭與德國之間唯一的通訊電纜。這起事件與2023年10月發生的事件驚人地相似，當時一艘名為「新北極熊號」(NewNew Polar Bear) 的中國船隻被發現再次拖拽錨鏈超過100英里，在芬蘭灣損壞了波羅的海聯網天然氣管道以及瑞典和愛沙尼亞之間的兩條電信電纜。管道受損事件讓西方世界想起了，在Nord Stream 1和2管道遭受重大損害一年後，其海底基礎設施的脆弱性。到2023年10月22日，據報導，這艘中國船隻已在其左舷錨鏈遺失的情況下停靠在俄羅斯阿爾漢格爾斯克港。這次，歐洲領導人迅速表達了他們對11月襲擊事件是破壞行為的懷疑，一位前官員在一篇X貼文中指出兩次襲擊事件的相似之處，內容寫道：「如果我每看到一次中國船隻在波羅的海海底重要電纜附近拖拽錨鏈就能得到五角錢，那我現在會有兩枚五角錢，雖然不多，但發生兩次就真的很奇怪了。」儘管北京否認在任何一起事件中故意犯錯，但針對國際海底電纜並不是中國採用的一種新策略。台灣上週開始調查一艘與中國有關的船隻是否故意損壞了連接該島與互聯網的電纜之一，台北已採取措施來加強其海底電纜的防護，以規避北京未來企圖通過針對其光纖電纜將其與國際社會隔絕的企圖。但中國長期以來針對台灣使用的策略現在正在波羅的海得到優化。美國一直警告中國計劃在2027年前入侵並吞併鄰近島國。「中國船隻現在已捲入最近對波羅的海電纜造成的損害事件，這是我們多年來在台灣海峽看到的現象，」歐盟高級外交官告訴 Digital。「考慮到中國在其對烏克蘭的戰爭中對俄羅斯的巨大支持，很難將這些事件視為單純的巧合。」「中國正在密切關注我們對俄羅斯戰爭的反應。美國必須對俄羅斯強硬，以防止與中國發生麻煩，」卡拉斯警告說。「今天支持烏克蘭有助於讓美國軍隊遠離未來的衝突。」但中國並不是唯一一個被懷疑破壞國際海底電纜的國家。一艘被指控與俄羅斯有關的船隻，據稱在聖誕節當天損壞了四條電信電纜和芬蘭-愛沙尼亞 Estlink 2 電力電纜，方法是再次拖拽錨鏈橫過海底，目前正在調查此事。這艘名為 Eagle S 的油輪涉嫌被莫斯科用於所謂的「影子艦隊」計劃，該計劃依賴於所有權不明的過時船隻來幫助俄羅斯規避制裁並維持其對的石油出口。五角大廈和白宮均未回覆 Digital 就世界各地最近發生的襲擊事件是否相關的問題。但安全專家表示，在國際政治中，幾乎沒有「巧合」的空間。「儘管缺乏明確證明中俄協調和勾結的公開資訊，但我並不相信國際事務中的巧合，」前助理國防部長東亞事務副助理部長 Heino Klinck 告訴 Digital。「這兩個惡意行為者都在灰色地帶蓬勃發展，這些攻擊似乎是相互增強和相互激勵的，因為它們證明了迄今為止無效的國際反應。」北約發言人告訴 Digital，北約將於週二宣佈一項名為「波羅的海哨兵」的行動，其中包括部署更多艦艇、海軍無人機艦隊和使用人工智能來更好地檢測、威懾和應對波羅的海的襲擊或破壞行為。北約沒有回覆關於該聯盟是否評估最近的海上破壞行動是俄羅斯和中國之間的協調行動的問題，儘管一位熟悉襲擊事件情報的西方安全官員表示，這些事件不應被認為是偶然事件。「這似乎比最初認為的更具協調性，」這位要求匿名的安全官員告訴 Digital。「這不僅僅是有人拋錨，然後看看會發生什麼。這計劃性更強，協調性也更強。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

以哈停火協議迫近，然關切哈瑪斯在加薩重新武裝 “` News

以哈停火協議迫近，然關切哈瑪斯在加薩重新武裝 “`

January 14, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - 在停火協議談判與哈瑪斯之間即將進入決定性時刻之際，衝突的傷亡人數持續攀升。今天，以色列軍方報告稱，在加薩北部貝特哈農，有五名士兵在一場彈藥爆炸中喪生，八名士兵受傷，這是近期行動中最致命的事件之一。週日，又有四名士兵在加薩喪生。同時，哈瑪斯在過去兩週向以色列發射了20枚火箭彈，突顯出在15個月的戰爭後，它仍然能夠發動襲擊。據報導，由美國、卡塔爾和埃及參與的談判接近達成協議。協議草案將確保釋放98名人質中的33人——包括兒童、婦女、女兵、50歲以上男性和人道主義個案——以換取數百名巴勒斯坦囚犯，其中包括一些知名被拘留者。預計這一階段將持續42天。據一位以色列官員稱，2023年10月7日哈瑪斯從以色列手中劫持的大多數33名人質仍然活著。在此期間，將向加薩地帶提供人道主義援助。據報導，以色列將每釋放一名女性人質釋放50名囚犯，每名人質釋放30名兒童和婦女。該協議還將包括以色列做出的重大讓步，允許100萬流離失所的巴勒斯坦人返回加薩北部，安全專家警告說，此舉可能使哈瑪斯得以重組。「哈瑪斯重建自身的步伐快於以色列國防軍消滅他們的步伐，」退休的以色列國防軍准將阿米爾·阿維維告訴 阿維維還告訴以色列電台，該協議必須包括所有的人質，但只有一個哈瑪斯的訴求無法達成一致：「結束戰爭」。他說，只要結束戰爭不是協議的一部分，「就可以做出艱難的讓步」。拜登總統週一在國務院的告別外交政策講話中說：「我們即將實現數月前提出的提案。我們正在努力促成此事——釋放人質，停止戰鬥，確保以色列的安全，並確保向加薩提供人道主義援助。巴勒斯坦人民應該享有和平，以色列也應該享有和平，我們正在緊急努力達成這項協議，同時應對挑戰。」國家安全顧問傑克·沙利文在一份聲明中強調了緊迫性：「我們與即將上任的政府密切協調，向所有各方傳達了一個統一的信息，即達成這項協議符合美國國家安全利益……儘快達成這項協議。現在我們認為這些細節即將完全敲定，各方正處於能夠達成這項協議的邊緣。無論我們現在是否能夠真正達成協議，接下來的幾個小時和幾天將會見分曉。」拜登和總理本雅明·內塔尼亞胡週日通電話討論了擬議的停火協議，反映出美國和以色列之間的高層協調。美國特使布雷特·麥格克一直駐紮在卡塔爾，夜以繼日地努力敲定協議。自戰爭開始以來，以色列軍方報告稱已殺死約1.7萬名哈瑪斯恐怖分子，並拘留了數千名恐怖分子。在衝突之前，哈瑪斯維持著一支由24個營組成的3萬名恐怖分子的部隊。雖然以色列國防軍聲稱已經摧毀了大部分的結構，但仍然控制著加薩大部分地區的哈瑪斯並沒有透露其損失或新的招募數字。哈瑪斯控制的衛生部聲稱，在戰爭中已有約4.6萬名加薩人喪生。停火提案在以色列政府內部引發了激烈的爭論。大多數聯盟成員，包括內塔尼亞胡，都支持這項協議，認為這是朝著 邁出的關鍵一步。然而，一些內塔尼亞胡右翼的聯盟成員強烈反對這項協議，理由是存在安全風險，並擔心哈瑪斯將利用停火時間進行重建。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

拜登表示他將留下「強而有力的籌碼」給川普，並為他在阿富汗問題上的記錄辯護 “`

January 14, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - 拜登總統週一在國務院發表講話，闡述美國外交政策和國家安全的現狀，在他四年任期即將結束之際，川普總統當選人將在一週後再次就任最高職位。拜登沒有具體提及或點名即將上任的總統，但他提到了之前的和即將上任的川普政府，並自豪地表示他將留下一個「強大的局面」。總統列舉了許多對美國國家安全具有重要地緣政治意義的主要國家。但他同時提到了美國撤軍阿富汗一事——這一直是備受爭議的政策決定之一，導致13名美國軍人和平民約170名阿富汗平民在ISIS-K襲擊阿貝門撤離人員時喪生。「[我]是幾十年來第一位沒有將阿富汗戰爭留給繼任者的總統，」拜登說。總統提到了奧巴馬政府時期2011年暗殺9·11事件主謀烏薩瑪·本·拉登的事件，並表示在他上任時，他評估到不再需要大量的美國軍隊。「所以當我上任時，我面臨一個選擇——但我沒有看到繼續讓數千名軍人留在阿富汗的理由，」他補充道。「在我看來，是結束戰爭並將我們的部隊帶回家的時候了，我們也這樣做了。」總統試圖反駁他收到的關於撤軍的批評，並說：「記住，批評人士說，如果我們結束戰爭，這將損害我們的聯盟，並造成來自阿富汗安全港的境外恐怖主義對我們祖國的威脅。「這兩者都沒有發生，」拜登說。「我們的聯盟依然堅強，我們利用了我們的超視距打擊能力，在必要時打擊阿富汗和其他地方。「通過結束戰爭，我們能夠將精力和資源集中到我們緊迫的挑戰上，」總統說，並指出美國繼續面臨來自俄羅斯和中國等對手的問題。拜登敦促即將上任的川普政府繼續保衛烏克蘭並威懾俄羅斯，並指出莫斯科在烏克蘭的成功將在全球產生深遠的影響——尤其是在亞洲。「還有更多的事情要做。我們不能袖手旁觀，」他說，並指出在他總統任期內，美國在國防工業基礎設施上投資了近1.3萬億美元。「這比美國在冷戰期間任何四年期間的投資都要多，」拜登說。「這將確保我們擁有充分的裝備來作戰和贏得戰爭，這也是首先威懾戰爭的最佳方式。」拜登還將中國吹捧為美國的主要對手，並聲稱在他上任時，北京被評估將在2030年經濟上超越華盛頓。「現在，根據對中國目前發展軌跡的最新預測，他們永遠不會超越我們，」他說。但他警告即將上任的政府要關注一個主要領域——氣候變化以及中國在該領域造成的威脅。「即將上任的政府中的一些人對清潔能源的需求持懷疑態度。他們甚至不相信氣候變化是真實存在的。我認為他們來自不同的世紀，」他在對即將上任的政府最嚴厲的斥責中說。「他們大錯特錯。「這是對人類生存的最大威脅——清潔能源轉型已經在發生，」拜登繼續說道。「中國正試圖主導清潔能源製造、關鍵材料和供應鏈。「他們希望佔領未來的市場並創造新的依賴——美國必須贏得這場競爭，」總統補充道。拜登還敦促川普政府繼續發展人工智能，並應對葉門的胡塞武裝和朝鮮，因為伊朗、俄羅斯和中國等敵對勢力繼續走得越來越近。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

This year’s forum attracted over 3,600 global financial and business elites from more than 50 countries and regions. The event leveraged Hong Kong’s role as an international financial centre to strengthen the international communication platform, foster multilateral cooperation and promote mutually beneficial outcomes. Three high-level Mainland China officials attended the Opening Session of the AFF yesterday, including Zhou Ji, Executive Vice Director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council of the People's Republic of China and Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council; Dr Pan Gongsheng, Governor of the People's Bank of China; and Liu Zhenmin, Special Envoy for Climate Change of China.As the year’s first large-scale international financial and business event in the region, the atmosphere at the AFF was vibrant and charged with a positive energy. The forum showcased emerging perspectives across the diverse sessions, all of which were well-attended and well-received by speakers and audiences alike. Leaders from around the world actively engaged in discussion throughout the two-day event, with more than 130 policymakers, international financial and multilateral organisation representatives, financial institutions, and global corporate leaders joining as speakers.The speaker at the Keynote Luncheon on the first day of this year’s AFF was Prof Justin Lin Yifu, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of the World Bank (2008-2012), who delivered an in-depth analysis of the shifting global economic landscape. Prof Lin pointed out: “In terms of purchasing power, China has the largest domestic market in the world. I think China can reach a 4.5 % growth rate on the average annually between 2019 and 2049. Thus China will continue to contribute around 30% of growth to the world every year. It’s good not only for China, but also will be the most important asset of Hong Kong in the coming years.”Keynote Luncheon today focused on AI: Future Industries and Implications, with Prof Stuart Russell, Co-chair of the World Economic Forum's Council on AI, sharing his insights into the development, application and governance of generative AI. Prof Russell said: “We could build AI systems that are guaranteed to further human interests but we aren’t. Some may worry that the machines that we are building will become conscious and lose control, but competence should actually be the topic that we worry about. As history shows, we cause species to become extinct due to our competence, not our consciousness. We are training them to have human-like objectives, and that is a fundamental mistake. I am hoping that if we design the AI system well enough, they themselves will refuse to contribute to the enfeeblement of the human race.” Another AI expert, Dr Kai-Fu Lee, Chairman of Sinovation Ventures, also addressed the transformative power of AI and its impact on technological advancements in the global business ecosystem during a dialogue session.In alignment with the HKSAR Government's initiatives to promote sustainable development in Hong Kong, sustainability emerged as a key focus at the forum. A session yesterday featured experts including Sue Lloyd, Vice Chair of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), who delved into the adoption of financial disclosure standards to enhance confidence in Hong Kong's capital markets. Today saw more discussions related to sustainable development, including a Breakfast Panel dedicating to transition finance and two more sessions – on sustainable investment and Post-COP29 Implementation: Enhance Climate Ambition and Enable Financing Action – at which Liu Zhenmin, Special Envoy for Climate Change of China, gave remarks.This afternoon saw the debut of the Gulf Cooperation Council Chapter, jointly organised by the AFF and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the HKSAR Government, and HE Jasem Mohamed AlBudaiwi, Secretary General of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf, delivered keynote remarks. Financial officials and representatives from Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates joined industry leaders from Hong Kong to share updates on economic developments in the Gulf region, highlight future investment opportunities, and examine ways to strengthen financial cooperation and investment between the member states of the GCC and Hong Kong.In addition, pioneers from a range of industries actively participated in sessions such as CIO Insights, Dialogues for Tomorrow and Global Spectrum, focusing on hot topics ranging from fintech and capital markets to female entrepreneurship and philanthropy. One of the heavyweight speakers at this year’s AFF was Joe Tsai, Chairman of the Alibaba Group, who shared his views at a fireside chat moderated by Ronnie Chan, Honorary Chair, Hang Lung Properties Limited on how large companies spur economic development in a session titled Global Spectrum – The Role of Large Companies in Supporting Start-ups and Social Enterprises.Views on mainland and overseas industries and environmental economies tracked on-siteReal-time polling was conducted during the forum to gauge participants’ views on various topics, such as the global economic outlook and China opportunities. It indicated that generative AI-led innovation (41.6%) and non-AI innovation, including digital infrastructure & healthcare (23%), were seen by participants as the most critical growth engines in the Asia Pacific region. Meanwhile, generative AI (31.4%) and advanced manufacturing (20%) were seen as the most promising growth sectors in Mainland China.More than 700 one-on-one matching meetings facilitated on-site over two daysThis year’s AFF Deal-making, co-organised by the HKTDC and the Hong Kong Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (HKVCA), brought together more than 270 investors and over 560 investment projects with more than 700 one-on-one meetings held, covering a wide spectrum of sectors such as fintech, healthtech, deep tech, consumer goods, infrastructure and real estate, environment, energy and environmental technology. The meetings helped to connect funds and investment projects from across the globe.As always, the AFF featured several exhibition zones, set up with the aim of creating business connections and promoting networking, including the Fintech Showcase, Fintech HK Startup Salon, the InnoVenture Salon, and the Global Investment Zone. These zones featured more than 140 exhibitors including international financial institutions, technology companies, start-ups, investment promotion agencies and sponsors such as AFF Knowledge Partner EY, along with HSBC, Bank of China (Hong Kong), Standard Chartered Bank, UBS, Prudential, China International Capital Corporation (CICC) and Huatai International and more.Three other events ran concurrently with the AFF across the two days. The Hong Kong International Fundraising Roundtable 2025 yesterday convened C-suite leaders from overseas and mainland enterprises with Hong Kong's financial and professional service providers to address pressing financing and fundraising needs. The Malaysia–Hong Kong Islamic Finance Roundtable, co-organised with Malaysia International Islamic Financial Centre (MIFC) Leadership Council, facilitated the development of cross-border financial activities between Hong Kong and Islamic economies represented by Malaysia. Additionally, the Family Office Symposium, co-organised with the Private Wealth Management Association (PWMA), spotlighted Hong Kong’s advantages as a premier family office destination and explored current investment trends.The Asian Financial Forum was a signature event of 2025 International Financial Week (IFW), which runs from 13 to 17 January and brings together more than 20 partner events to create synergies in the industry. These events cover many topics of global interest to the financial and business community, including private equity, family offices, net zero investing and generative AI, among others.

印度最大宗教集會開始，預計數億印度教徒參加 “`

January 13, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - 數百萬印度教信徒、神秘主義者和僧侶們週一從印度各地湧向北部城市普拉亞格拉吉（Prayagraj），啟動了被譽為盛大的馬哈昆布節（Maha Kumbh festival）。在接下來大約六週的時間裡，印度教朝聖者將聚集在三條聖河——恆河、亞穆納河和神話中的薩拉斯瓦蒂河——的交匯處，在那裡他們將參與精心設計的儀式，希望開始一段旅程，以實現印度教哲學的終極目標：擺脫輪迴。以下是關於這個節日的一些重要信息：印度教徒崇敬河流，而恆河和亞穆納河更是如此。信徒們相信，在這些河水中沐浴可以洗清他們的過去罪孽，結束他們的輪迴過程，尤其是在吉日。這些吉日每12年會在一個稱為馬哈昆布梅拉節（Maha Kumbh Mela）或水罐節的節日期間出現。這個節日是由印度教聖人（sadhus）和其他朝聖者在三條聖河交匯處進行的一系列儀式沐浴，其歷史至少可以追溯到中世紀時期。印度教徒相信，神話中的薩拉斯瓦蒂河曾經從喜馬拉雅山流經普拉亞格拉吉，在那裡與恆河和亞穆納河匯合。每天都會進行沐浴，但在最吉利的日子裡，赤身裸體、塗滿骨灰的僧侶們會在黎明時分衝向聖河。許多朝聖者會在整個節日期間留下來，遵守苦行，施捨布施，每天日出時分沐浴。「我們在這兒感到平靜，並從生死的輪迴中得到解脫，」朝聖者巴格瓦特·普拉薩德·蒂瓦里（Bhagwat Prasad Tiwari）說道。這個節日有一個傳說，講述的是毗濕奴神從惡魔手中奪取了一個盛有不死甘露的金色水罐。印度教徒相信，幾滴甘露落在了普拉亞格拉吉、納西克、烏賈因和哈里瓦爾這四個城市——這四個城市是昆布節幾個世紀以來舉辦的地方。昆布節大約每三年在這些四個朝聖地之間輪換一次，日期由占星術決定。今年的節日是所有節日中最大、最盛大的。一個較小的節日版本，稱為阿爾德昆布節（Ardh Kumbh）或半昆布節，於2019年舉辦，當時記錄了2.4億遊客，其中約有5000萬人在最繁忙的一天進行了儀式沐浴。據官員稱，在接下來的45天裡，預計至少有4億人——超過美國人口——將來到普拉亞格拉吉。這大約是去年在沙烏地阿拉伯的穆斯林聖城麥加和麥地那參加一年一度的朝聖的200萬朝聖者的200倍。這個節日對印度當局來說是一項重大考驗，它將展現印度教的宗教、旅遊業和人群管理。沿河岸的一大片土地已被改造成一個龐大的帳篷城，配備3000多個廚房和15萬個衛生間。這個帳篷城分為25個區域，佔地15平方英里，還擁有住房、道路、電力和水、通訊塔和11家醫院。描繪印度教經文中故事的壁畫被畫在城牆上。印度鐵路公司還增加了90多輛特快列車，這些列車在節日期間將進行近3300次旅行，用於運輸信徒，此外還有普通列車。大約5萬名安全人員——比2019年增加了50%——也駐紮在該市，以維護治安和人群管理。2500多個攝像頭，其中一些由人工智能驅動，將把人群移動和密度信息發送到四個中央控制室，官員們可以在那裡迅速部署人員以避免踩踏事件。印度過去的領導人利用這個節日來加強他們與印度教徒的關係，印度教徒佔印度人口的近80%。但在納倫德拉·莫迪總理的領導下，這個節日已成為其倡導印度教民族主義的組成部分。對於莫迪和他的政黨來說，印度文明與印度教密不可分，儘管批評人士稱該黨的哲學根植於印度教至上主義。北方邦（Uttar Pradesh）由阿迪蒂亞納特（Adityanath）領導——他是一位有影響力的印度教僧侶，也是莫迪政黨中一位受歡迎的強硬派印度教政治家——已為今年的活動撥款超過7.65億美元。它還利用這個節日來提升他和總理的形象，在全市到處都張貼著巨大的廣告牌和海報，上面展示著他們兩個人，以及宣傳政府福利政策的標語。預計這個節日將提升執政的印度教民族主義政黨——印度人民黨（Bharatiya Janata Party）——過去利用印度教文化符號來爭取支持的記錄。但最近的昆布集會也捲入了爭議。莫迪政府將該市的莫臥兒時代名稱從阿拉哈巴德（Allahabad）改為普拉亞格拉吉（Prayagraj），這是其在2019年節日和他的政黨贏得全國大選之前在全國範圍內進行的將穆斯林名稱改為印度教名稱的工作的一部分。2021年，儘管新冠病毒病例激增，他的政府拒絕取消在哈里瓦爾舉行的節日，擔心會受到印度教占多數的國家宗教領袖的反彈。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

即將上任的特朗普政府收到一份削弱伊朗的新藍圖：「千載難逢的機會」 “`

January 13, 2025
(SeaPRwire) - 一份與川普過渡團隊分享，並提供給Digital 的新報告建議，在準總統唐納·川普就職幾天前，採取激烈措施來遏制伊朗政權。「準總統川普現在擁有一個獨特的機會，可以在伊朗政權顯著衰落之際予以反擊。透過運用外交、資訊、軍事和經濟手段來讓德黑蘭承擔責任，他可以促進區域穩定和一個新的中東。」反制伊朗核計劃聯盟(UANI)的執行長兼創辦人馬克·D·華萊士大使告訴Digital。據其作者稱，UANI的報告，題為「給即將上任的川普政府關於伊朗的報告」，是該政府用於對付伊朗的藍圖，並已與川普過渡團隊分享。「自1979年以來，伊朗一直是世界頭號國家級恐怖主義贊助者，是中東不穩定的主要原因，並肆無忌憚地殘酷壓制其人民。」華萊士說。該報告建議即將上任的政府採取全政府的綜合方法，正如華萊士大使所說，在外交、資訊、軍事和經濟部門與盟友一起，適當地讓伊朗為其破壞地區穩定的努力負責。報告的共同作者傑森·布羅茨基表示，伊朗擔心即將上任的川普政府，並補充說他認為華盛頓及其盟友有一個戰略機會可以利用這種恐懼來推進美國的利益。「匆忙進行過早的外交談判可能會破壞這種動態。」UANI政策主任布羅茨基告訴Digital。該報告概述了幾個削弱伊朗的具體政策建議，並認為美國政府應首先對伊朗發起一場壓力運動，這將使該政權的選擇更加明確。在這項新的政策方法中，美國應該向以色列學習如何對伊朗發動軍事打擊，而不引發更廣泛的戰爭。「如果以色列可以做到這一點而不引發更廣泛的戰爭，那麼美國政府也可以做到。」布羅茨基說。作者斷言，準總統川普應該發表一項重大政策講話，警告德黑蘭，如果伊朗採取措施進一步提升其能力，美國將毫不猶豫地使用武力摧毀伊朗的核計劃。國際原子能機構在12月初報告稱，伊朗將鈾濃縮到武器級別。法國總統馬克龍表示，伊朗的核計劃正接近「不可逆轉的點」，許多人認為這是為了對即將上任的川普政府施加影響力。此外，報告的作者說，如果伊朗或其代理人傷害美國人，即將上任的共和黨政府也可以對伊斯蘭革命衛隊指揮官、聖城部隊和情報部資產在伊朗境內發動定點打擊。如果安全部隊暴力鎮壓無辜抗議者，例如2009年有爭議的總統選舉後和2022年馬莎·阿米尼（因未戴頭巾被道德警察逮捕後死亡）之後的情況，定點打擊也應該通過網絡和動能手段打擊伊朗的鎮壓機器。報告指出，美國的打擊或行動一直不存在，或者集中在伊朗伊斯蘭共和國的代理人身上。「這種動態只會助長伊朗的決策，計算這些針對美國人的行動的好處超過成本，並懷疑美國保衛自身利益的決心。即將上任的川普政府應該扭轉這種計算，而這樣做的一種方法就是開始讓伊朗政權對其代理人的恐怖主義行為在伊朗境內負責。」布羅茨基解釋道。美國還應該建立一個軍事叛逃者計劃，並鼓勵伊朗伊斯蘭共和國境內的政治和軍事行動者，包括革命衛隊和其他安全部隊內部的行動者，叛逃該政權。伊朗巨大的石油出口是其收入的主要來源，並使伊朗能夠通過其「抵抗軸心」代理網絡維持其在中東的恐怖主義活動。2024年，伊朗出口了5.87億桶石油，比上一年增長10.75%，原因是OPEC減產和缺乏制裁執行。UANI油輪追蹤計劃主任兼UANI辦公室主任克萊爾·容格曼告訴Digital，在拜登政府的領導下，伊朗的石油出口已增長到每天近200萬桶——五年來的最高水平——這反映了制裁執行的弱化以及數十億美元被解凍資產的影響。「即將上任的川普政府有一個重要的機會來阻止德黑蘭的非法收入流，並恢復對該政權的最大壓力。」容格曼補充道。伊朗是世界領先的國家級恐怖主義贊助者，並且是該地區衝突的主要來源，包括真主黨和哈馬斯（10月7日襲擊以色列的組織）。國務院估計，伊朗每年向哈馬斯提供約1億美元，並每年向真主黨提供約7億美元的資金。UANI告誡西方一些希望與德黑蘭進行談判的國家，並認為這種無限談判的錯誤方法是伊朗可以爭取時間並避免壓力的途徑。華萊士大使表示，之前的最大壓力策略奏效了，現在是時候重新應用這項政策了，因為該政權在10月7日與以色列爆發地區衝突後遭遇了一次又一次的挫折。「隨著其代理人的損失和伊朗人民的支持……伊朗政權的日子屈指可數，不可避免地，勇敢的伊朗人民將會起來反抗那些日益衰弱的腐敗的毛拉。」華萊士說。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
