烏克蘭針對俄羅斯橋樑,以阻礙莫斯科在庫爾斯克的反攻

(SeaPRwire) - 烏克蘭部隊已開始攻擊俄羅斯庫爾斯克地區的關鍵交通路線,以阻止莫斯科向部隊提供補給,因為烏克蘭與俄羅斯之間的戰鬥仍在持續。隨著基輔的入侵進入第二週,週一有報導稱,烏克蘭已攻擊了俄羅斯庫爾斯克地區第三座,可能是最後一座可用的橋樑。根據當地新聞媒體《基輔獨立報》援引俄羅斯調查委員會官員週一發表的言論,位於卡雷日村附近的塞姆河上的一座橋樑遭到烏克蘭軍隊破壞。Digital 無法驗證橋樑受損的程度。在週末,有報導稱,位於卡雷日以東僅四英里的茲瓦諾耶,以及位於塞姆河沿岸以東五英里的格盧什科沃,還有另外兩座橋樑遭到破壞或無法使用,所有這些橋樑都位於庫爾斯克地區。烏克蘭國防官員尚未對圍繞橋樑襲擊的行動發表評論,但有報導稱,橋樑受損影響了俄羅斯軍隊在入侵烏克蘭部隊時,將重型機械運輸過河的能力。目前尚不清楚橋樑襲擊對俄羅斯向庫爾斯克地區重新部署部隊的行動有何影響,因為烏克蘭軍隊繼續推進。烏克蘭總統澤連斯基對庫爾斯克行動的整體目標一直守口如瓶,但一些人推測這是為了分散俄羅斯的戰爭力量,迫使莫斯科從烏克蘭前線調走部隊。《華盛頓郵報》報導稱,8 月 6 日至 13 日期間,有大約 5,000 名俄軍從烏克蘭頓涅茨克地區被調往庫爾斯克。儘管俄羅斯總統普京決心鎮壓烏克蘭的入侵,澤連斯基稱這是為了讓莫斯科「感受到」其戰爭的後果,但烏克蘭軍隊似乎仍在俄羅斯境內推進。戰爭研究所週日的一份評估報告稱:「俄羅斯部隊的重新部署已使俄羅斯部隊能夠減緩烏克蘭在庫爾斯克州的快速推進,並開始控制烏克蘭入侵的程度,但控制只是俄羅斯在庫爾斯克州的應對的第一階段,也是最可能最不消耗資源的階段。」評估報告還補充說:「雖然現在判斷俄羅斯部隊何時才能完全阻止烏克蘭在庫爾斯克州的推進,並掌握戰場主動權,發起這樣的行動還為時過早,但未來俄羅斯可能發起的反攻行動,很可能需要俄羅斯在庫爾斯克州投入更多的人力、裝備和物資。」《華爾街日報》援引一位熟悉基輔在庫爾斯克推進行動的消息人士的話說,目前大約有 6,000 名烏克蘭軍隊在俄羅斯境內,但據信莫斯科需要投入約 20,000 名士兵才能收復其領土。澤連斯基週日在對全國的講話中說:「現在我們在整體防禦行動中的首要任務是盡可能多地摧毀俄羅斯的戰爭潛力,並開展最大程度的反攻行動。」他補充說:「這包括創造一個戰略環境——我們在庫爾斯克地區的行動。」儘管庫爾斯克正在進行戰爭,但烏克蘭仍在預計俄羅斯在其頓涅茨克地區推進,特別是在波克羅夫斯克周圍,俄軍繼續向西推進。據頓涅茨克行政官員稱,預計該市將會發生與東部烏克蘭地區爆發的激烈戰鬥一樣的慘烈戰鬥。據報導,頓涅茨克州長瓦季姆·菲拉什金告訴《基輔獨立報》,本週晚些時候可能會發布一項強制疏散令,要求該市剩餘的近 5,000 名兒童離開。澤連斯基在 7 月份警告說,俄羅斯在未能再次佔領哈爾科夫後,已「投入了他們所有的力量」到這個地區。據東部至西部報導,週一出現的圖片據稱顯示了俄羅斯西伯利亞大鐵路沿線發生多起爆炸,這條鐵路一直被用於向莫斯科在烏克蘭的戰爭努力運輸武器。雖然 Digital 無法確認爆炸的原因,但自戰爭開始以來,親烏克蘭力量一直在俄羅斯目標上進行類似的破壞活動。週末的圖片顯示,烏克蘭軍隊襲擊了俄羅斯羅斯托夫州的一個油庫,該州與頓涅茨克接壤——這表明烏克蘭正在努力打擊俄羅斯的關鍵目標,這些目標在維持其跨境戰爭努力中發揮作用。一些人認為澤連斯基,他在上週表示「如果普京想繼續發動戰爭,就必須迫使俄羅斯停戰」,可能正在利用其對俄羅斯的入侵作為結束莫斯科致命戰爭的籌碼。雖然普京的一名助手週一表示,莫斯科目前不願「在這個階段」停戰,但這是發生入侵之後的事。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。

印度各地因醫護人員遭強姦謀殺而加劇抗議,導致醫院服務中斷

(SeaPRwire) - 成千上萬名印度初級醫生週一拒絕結束針對一名醫務人員被強姦和謀殺的抗議活動,這是在他們發起全國行動要求更安全的職場和快速解決問題後,近一週來中斷了醫院服務。自8月9日一名31歲的醫務人員被殺害以來,全國各地的醫生舉行了抗議活動,並拒絕接診非緊急病人,警方表示這名醫務人員在位於東部城市加爾各答的一家醫院被強姦和謀殺,她在那裡接受培訓。一名警察志願者已被逮捕並被指控犯有這項罪行。女性活動家表示,這一事件突顯了儘管在2012年一名23歲的學生在德里一輛移動巴士上被輪姦和謀殺後實施了更嚴厲的法律,女性仍然遭受性暴力。政府已敦促醫生重返工作崗位,同時設立一個委員會,提出改善醫療保健專業人員保護措施的建議。“我們無限期停工和靜坐將繼續,直到我們的訴求得到滿足,”事件發生地 R.G. 卡爾醫學院和醫院抗議初級醫生的發言人阿尼克特·馬哈塔博士說。為了聲援醫生,西孟加拉邦兩家最大的足球俱樂部的數千名支持者週日晚上在加爾各答街頭遊行,高喊“我們需要正義”。代表鄰近奧里薩邦、首都德里和西部古吉拉特邦初級醫生的團體也表示,他們的抗議活動將繼續進行。國際貨幣基金組織副總經理吉塔·戈皮納斯在接受印度《商業標準報》採訪時表示,職場安全對於提高印度女性勞動力參與率至關重要,印度女性勞動力參與率在 2022-23 財年為 37%。“在沒有確保職場安全和女性在前往職場途中的安全的情況下,人們無法提高(女性參與率)。這是絕對至關重要的,”戈皮納斯在週一發表的採訪中說。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。

AMD 以 49 億美元收購 ZT Systems,挑戰 Nvidia Business

AMD 以 49 億美元收購 ZT Systems,挑戰 Nvidia

AMD 收購 ZT Systems 的戰略舉措 (SeaPRwire) - 超微半導體 (Advanced Micro Devices Inc., NASDAQ:AMD) 已達成協議,將以現金和股票結合的方式,總價 49 億美元收購伺服器製造商 ZT Systems。此次收購將強化 AMD 的資料中心技術,並加強其與 Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) 競爭的優勢。 總部位於新澤西州錫考克斯的 ZT Systems 將被整合到 AMD 的資料中心解決方案事業群。AMD 計畫保留 ZT 的設計和客戶團隊,同時尋求出售其製造部門。這項交易包含一筆 4 億美元的或有付款,取決於是否達成特定里程碑。交易將以 75% 的現金和 25% 的 AMD 普通股組成。AMD 的股票在週一上漲 1.6%,達到 150.94 美元。 未來展望與市場影響 ZT Systems 在為大型資料中心提供伺服器計算方面擁有豐富的經驗,並積極投資人工智慧 (AI) 技術。AMD 首席執行長蘇姿丰強調,AI 是該公司最重要的戰略優先事項,並強調收購 ZT Systems 如何加速 AMD 為其主要客戶部署 AI 基礎架構。蘇姿丰指出,ZT 的工程師擅長以規模管理高性能、高密度系統。 此次收購符合 AMD 的策略,挑戰 Nvidia 在 AI 資料中心市場的主導地位。AMD 旨在增強其軟體和硬體功能,以更好地與 Nvidia 的全面產品競爭。在過去一年中,AMD 已投資超過 10 億美元以擴大其在 AI 領域的影響力,包括最近以 6.65 億美元收購 AI 模型開發商 Silo AI。 總部位於加州聖克拉拉的 AMD 是 Nvidia 在 AI 處理器領域的主要競爭對手。該公司新的 MI 系列加速器晶片預計今年將產生超過 45 億美元的新收入,使 AMD 成為 Nvidia 的主要競爭對手,儘管其整體市場份額仍然落後。分析師預計 Nvidia 在本財年將實現 1000 億美元的資料中心收入。 Nvidia 的成長得益於其廣泛的晶片、網路、伺服器、軟體和服務產品組合,旨在擴大 AI 在各個產業中的作用。在蘇姿丰的領導下,AMD 致力於提升其在市場中的競爭優勢。 AMD 最近的成功已使其市值超過 2400 億美元,超過英特爾 (Intel Corp., NASDAQ:INTC) 市值的兩倍。該公司也在尋求戰略合作夥伴來收購 ZT 的美國資料中心基礎架構製造業務。該部門在過去一年中產生了超過 100 億美元的收入,預計將吸引潛在買家的濃厚興趣。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。

戴爾股票分析:股價下跌 38% 後是否值得買入? Business

戴爾股票分析:股價下跌 38% 後是否值得買入?

(SeaPRwire) - Dell Technologies (NYSE:DELL) 在過去五年中一直是科技業的佼佼者。自 2019 年 8 月以來,該股已實現近 400% 的回報,大幅跑贏大盤。然而,儘管取得了這些令人印象深刻的漲幅,戴爾股票目前已較 2023 年 5 月創下的歷史高點下跌了 38%。這一估值大幅下跌對投資者提出了關鍵問題:戴爾股票以目前價格買入還是賣出? 戴爾的業務部門:深入探討 戴爾科技公司通過兩個主要業務部門運營:基礎設施解決方案集團 (ISG) 和客戶解決方案集團 (CSG)。這些部門對於理解公司未來的增長潛力及其目前的市場估值至關重要。 基礎設施解決方案集團 (ISG) 專注於現代和傳統的存儲解決方案,例如超融合基礎設施和 AI 優化伺服器。隨著企業越來越多地投資於 ChatGPT 等生成式 AI 平台,戴爾已將自己定位為 AI 伺服器市場的領先供應商。該部門還包括網絡產品和服務,這些產品和服務是數據中心和邊緣網絡基礎設施中的關鍵組成部分。 另一方面,客戶解決方案集團 (CSG) 提供台式機、工作站、筆記本電腦、網絡攝像頭和其他外圍設備。該部門還負責戴爾的技術驅動的安全解決方案,旨在防止網絡威脅和入侵——這是當今數字環境中日益增長的擔憂。 戴爾令人印象深刻的 2025 年第一季度業績 在 2025 財年第一季度,戴爾報告了強勁的財務業績,收入達到 222.4 億美元,調整後每股收益 (EPS) 為 1.27 美元。這些結果超出了分析師的預期,分析師預計該季度銷售額為 216.4 億美元,EPS 為 1.26 美元。 戴爾第一季度的淨利潤為 9.55 億美元,大幅高於上年的 5.78 億美元。這種增長主要是由 ISG 部門推動的,數據中心銷售額同比飆升 22% 達到 92 億美元。值得注意的是,戴爾的伺服器業務(其 AI 基礎設施產品的重要組成部分)銷售額增長了 42% 達到 55 億美元。儘管有這種增長,但該部門的營業利潤仍然持平,這引發了人們對 AI 伺服器銷售利潤率的擔憂,一些分析師(例如伯恩斯坦的分析師)指出,這種銷售可能正在以“接近零利潤率”進行。 CSG 部門的表現相對穩定,收入與去年同期持平,為 120 億美元。然而,對戴爾 AI 優化伺服器的持續需求(銷售額達到 26 億美元)突顯了該公司在 AI 市場的影響力不斷增強。 戴爾股票是否被低估? 考慮到戴爾科技公司目前的市盈率為 14.4 倍,該股看起來相對便宜,特別是考慮到調整後收益預計將從 2024 財年的每股 7.13 美元增長到 2025 財年的每股 9.11 美元。不斷擴大的收益基礎可能會支持未來股息的增長,這將增加該股的吸引力。 戴爾目前提供每年每股 1.78 美元的股息,換算成 1.6% 的收益率。過去 12 個月的自由現金流為 61.7 億美元,或每股 7.39 美元,導致派息率低於 25%。這種保守的派息率表明,即使在市場環境充滿挑戰的情況下,戴爾的股息也是可持續的。此外,戴爾一直都在提高其季度股息,在過去兩年中從每股 0.33 美元增長到每股 0.445 美元。 分析師的建議和未來前景 分析師的共識普遍看好,16 位分析師中有 12 位將戴爾評級為“強力買入”,2 位建議“適度買入”,2 位建議“持有”。戴爾股票的平均 12 個月目標價為 157.20 美元,意味著與目前的水平相比,潛在漲幅為 41.2%。 儘管面臨來自 Super Micro Computer (NASDAQ:SMCI) 等同行公司的競爭,戴爾仍然是快速增長的 AI 市場中的有力競爭者。雖然 AI 伺服器部門利潤率下降帶來了一些風險,但戴爾的整體市場地位加上其具有吸引力的估值,使其成為一個誘人的投資機會。 結論 總之,戴爾股票最近 38% 的跌幅為投資者提供了一個潛在的買入機會。憑藉強勁的基本面、AI 部門的持續增長以及有利的分析師展望,戴爾科技公司可能成為任何投資組合中的一個有吸引力的補充,特別是在市場徘徊在歷史高點附近的情況下。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。

美國股市趨勢:主要驅動因素和企業動向 Business

美國股市趨勢:主要驅動因素和企業動向

(SeaPRwire) - 美國股市正在經歷顯著的變化,標準普爾 500 指數 ( $SPX ) ( SPY ) 上漲 +0.18%,道瓊工業平均指數 ( $DOWI ) ( DIA ) 上漲 +0.20%,納斯達克 100 指數 ( $IUXX ) ( QQQ ) 僅下跌 -0.02%。這些趨勢突顯了正面企業消息和美聯儲官員鴿派言論之間複雜的相互作用,顯著影響著市場動態。 企業消息推動市場上漲 正面企業消息是近期美國股市上漲的主要推動力。例如,超微半導體 (NASDAQ:AMD) 在宣布以 49 億美元收購伺服器製造商 ZT Systems 後,股價上漲超過 +1%。這項收購預計將加強 AMD 在伺服器市場的地位,使其成為其他科技巨頭強勁的競爭對手。 此外,ZIM 集團航運 (NYSE:ZIM) 在公布優於預期的第二季度調整後 EBITDA 並上調全年調整後 EBITDA 預測後,股價飆漲超過 +13%。該公司的強勁表現突顯了即使在全球經濟不確定性中,航運業的持續韌性。 美聯儲鴿派言論提供支撐 美國股市趨勢也受到美聯儲官員近期鴿派言論的影響。舊金山聯儲主席戴利表示,最近的經濟數據讓美聯儲“更有信心”通膨正在得到控制,暗示美聯儲可能會考慮調整基準借款成本。明尼阿波利斯聯儲主席卡什卡里也表示,在即將到來的 9 月 FOMC 會議上,進一步提振市場信心。 投資者正熱切等待 7 月 FOMC 會議紀要和美聯儲主席鮑威爾在傑克森霍爾年會上的發言。這些活動預計將提供有關美聯儲未來政策方向的關鍵見解,特別是關於降息。 利率及其對股市的影響 利率繼續在塑造美國股市趨勢方面發揮關鍵作用。9 月 10 年期美債 (ZNU24) 下跌 -3 個點,10 年期美債收益率上漲 +1.0 個基點至 3.892%。美債下跌是因股市走強減少了對美債等避險資產的需求。 歐洲政府債券收益率也在走高,10 年期德國公債收益率上漲 +1.0 個基點至 2.257%,10 年期英國國債收益率上漲 +0.9 個基點至 3.935%。這些變化反映了全球債券收益率上升的廣泛趨勢,這可能會通過影響企業的借款成本而影響股市表現。 美國股市主要動向 最近美國股市中,多家公司出現了顯著的變化。房地產建築商和供應商股價上漲,原因是巴倫周刊預測美國房屋銷售將改善,因為長期抵押貸款利率預計將下降。Builders FirstSource (NYSE:FSL) 上漲超過 +2%,而 D.R. 霍頓 (NYSE:DHI)、雷諾 (NYSE:LEN) 和托爾兄弟 (NYSE:TOL) 的股價也上漲超過 +1%。 麥當勞 (NYSE:MCD) 領漲道瓊工業平均指數,其股價上漲超過 +2%,此前 Evercore ISI 將其目標股價從 300 美元上調至 320 美元。這一增長反映了投資者對麥當勞的增長戰略及其應對經濟挑戰的能力的信心。 另一方面,一些股票面臨下跌壓力。惠普公司 (NYSE:HP) 下跌超過 -3%,此前摩根士丹利下調了該股評級,理由是對該公司增長前景的擔憂。雅詩蘭黛 (NYSE:EL) 的股價也下跌超過 -1%,此前該公司預計全年收入增長將低於預期。 結論 美國股市趨勢反映了包括正面企業消息、美聯儲鴿派言論和利率波動在內的複雜因素的混合。隨著投資者應對這些動態,超微半導體、ZIM 集團航運和麥當勞等主要股市動向公司將繼續引起關注。密切監控這些趨勢對於希望抓住市場機會的投資者至關重要。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。

BankPozitif’s Chairman Dr. Erkan Kork: Turkiye Will Continue to Attract Qualified Investments

ISTANBUL, August 19, 2024 (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Türkiye received $4.7 billion in international direct investment in the first six months of this year. The Netherlands, the USA, Germany, Ireland, Norway, and the United Kingdom were the countries from which Türkiye received the most investment capital.BankPozitif's Chairman, Dr. Erkan KorkCommenting on the issue, BankPozitif Chairman Dr. Erkan Kork stated that despite the global decline in international direct investments, Türkiye has performed better, saying, "Our country is attracting significant investments from global actors with its entrepreneurial business culture, young population, and competitive products and services. Over the last 20 years, Türkiye has become a country that attracts 1% of the world's investments annually. The goal is to increase this rate to 1.5% by working even harder. Türkiye is not far from this target with the political stability provided by our President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the reforms implemented, infrastructure investments, and investor-friendly policies. Under the vision and determined stance of our Minister of Treasury and Finance, Mr. Mehmet Simsek, our country is on the path to becoming a center for international investments.""It would be no surprise to hear news of new investments"Noting that Türkiye would achieve a much different picture with price stability, Kork said, "Türkiye Cumhuriyet Merkez Bankası Governor Fatih Karahan and his team are, so to speak, working tirelessly day and night. The improvement in the current account balance is evident. Recently, with the increase in our reserves and the correct steps taken, the Turkish Lira has reached an attractive position. Achieving price stability opens the door to the process leading to financial stability. In a country where there is financial stability, the appetite for investment is high," he said."Large-scale investments will come in the fintech sector"Dr. Erkan Kork stated that Türkiye would continue to attract qualified investments, especially those focused on the export of goods and services, saying, "The total value of international direct investment inflows to our country since 2002 has exceeded $268 billion. The investments received in the first six months of 2024 accounted for 28% of the current account deficit. This rate will increase further. Türkiye, which is a production, logistics, and management center for international investors, will continue to attract technology investments, particularly in fintech and e-commerce. I believe that capital inflows will continue not only from Europe and the USA but also from the Gulf countries," Dr. Kork said.About BankPozitifOperating in the field of digital banking, BankPozitif is a Turkey-based financial institution that enables individuals and businesses to carry out their financial transactions quickly and efficiently through a single digital platform.

"We look forward to releasing more analytical results in the coming weeks as they become available.""Between closing our financing earlier this month and the work we've done in the field, 2024 has been an exceptional year for Q2 Metals so far," said Q2 Metals President and CEO, Alicia Milne. "We have just begun our work at the Cisco Property, and having only completed 12 drill holes, these initial results are exceptionally promising."The analytical results reported herein represent the first 1,017 m of drilling over four (4) holes of the 3,753 m that were drilled over 12 holes at the Cisco Property.

澤連斯基:俄羅斯入侵庫斯克旨在建立俄烏「緩衝區」

(SeaPRwire) - 烏克蘭總統澤連斯基週日表示,俄羅斯庫爾斯克地區的突襲行動旨在創造兩國之間的「緩衝區」,並進一步複雜化莫斯科的跨境攻勢。「在整體防禦行動中,我們現在的首要任務是摧毀盡可能多的俄羅斯戰爭潛力,並進行最大程度的反攻行動,」澤連斯基在他的夜間演講中說,這是首次公開承認此次攻勢的真正意圖。「這包括在侵略者領土上建立一個緩衝區——我們在庫爾斯克地區的行動。」烏克蘭軍隊本週末摧毀了該地區的一座橋樑,並攻擊了第二座橋樑,目的是破壞俄羅斯的補給線。親克里姆林宮的戰爭博主此後承認,前一次襲擊(針對位於塞姆河附近的村莊的一座橋樑)是成功的。截至週日上午,第二次襲擊的位置和效果尚未明確。據報導,襲擊對俄羅斯基礎設施的影響進一步複雜化了已經使莫斯科處於意外防禦狀態的局勢,迫使其重新評估其沿烏克蘭東北部邊境的戰略,該地區在 2022 年開始後僅幾個月就被認為無關緊要。「烏克蘭在庫爾斯克州的行動[迫使]克里姆林宮和俄羅斯軍方指揮部做出決定,是否將與烏克蘭東北部接壤的長達 1000 公里的國際邊界視為俄羅斯必須保衛的合法前線,」戰爭研究所的喬治·巴羅斯此前告訴《數字時代》。「俄羅斯已投入大量資源在國際邊界地區建造防禦工事,」巴羅斯指出,「但尚未分配人力和[物資]來顯著地駐守和保衛這些防禦工事。」自 8 月 6 日發動行動以來,烏克蘭已宣稱奪取了約 400 平方英里的俄羅斯領土。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。

塔利班拘留第三名美国人的家人呼吁立即释放:“我们很担心”

(SeaPRwire) - 美國公民馬哈茂德·哈比比 (Mahmood Habibi) 在塔利班綁架者繼續否認他們將他囚禁的情況下,結束了他被囚禁的第二年。本月早些時候,美國國務院首次公開反駁了塔利班關於只有兩名美國公民被他們拘留的說法。美國國務院發言人馬修·米勒 (Matthew Miller) 在 8 月 8 日的新聞發布會上,回應了 Digital 提出的問題,表示國務院“對在阿富汗被不公正拘留的美國公民的福祉深感關切”,並點名哈比比以及喬治·格萊茲曼 (George Glezmann) 和賴安·科貝特 (Ryan Corbett)。米勒在新聞發布會上解釋說,格萊茲曼和科貝特被歸類為“被錯誤拘留”,而哈比比則被認為是“被不公正拘留”。“我們無法做出錯誤拘留的判定,因為我們無法獲得某些類型的資訊,或者因為情況不明確,”米勒解釋說。8 月 10 日, 也表示他們正在“尋求有關哈比比失踪的資訊”。哈比比的兄弟艾哈邁德·沙阿·哈比比 (Ahmad Shah Habibi) 接受 Digital 採訪時,談到了馬哈茂德被拘留的情況。他說馬哈茂德於 2022 年 8 月前往阿富汗,在位於弗吉尼亞州費爾法克斯的 ARX Communications 公司就職,因為塔利班“歡迎”阿富汗人返回該國,為阿富汗的未來工作。這種歡迎是短暫的。8 月 10 日,塔利班情報總局逮捕了哈比比及其 29 名同事,詢問他們是否掌握有關在喀布爾殺害基地組織高級領導人艾曼·扎瓦希里 (Ayman al-Zawahiri) 的資訊。除了兩名 ARX Communications 人員外,其餘人員後來都被釋放。艾哈邁德堅決否認他的兄弟參與了對扎瓦希里的襲擊。他認為塔利班拘留了他的兄弟,是因為馬哈茂德是前阿富汗政府民航局副部長,而且是美國公民。馬哈茂德於 2021 年獲得美國公民身份。由於塔利班沒有公開承認馬哈茂德被拘留,他被禁止給家人打電話,也無法接受國際外交官的健康檢查。艾哈邁德說,阿富汗境內的人告訴家人,馬哈茂德還活著,但他不願透露有關此資訊來源的更多細節。“我們很擔心。我不確定他目前的狀況或他的處境,”艾哈邁德說。賴安·科貝特 (Ryan Corbett) 也於 2022 年 8 月 10 日被捕,喬治·格萊茲曼 (George Glezmann) 也於 2022 年 12 月 5 日被捕,他們在塔利班的監獄裡飽受折磨。一份呼籲立即釋放格萊茲曼的參議院決議指出,他患有“面部腫瘤、高血壓、嚴重營養不良和其他疾病”,並且他的身體和精神健康正在迅速下降。一份呼籲立即釋放科貝特的眾議院決議指出,他被關押在地下室,幾乎沒有陽光照射,只能吃一些脂肪肉,現在他開始出現“癲癇發作、昏厥和肢體變色”。與哈比比不同,科貝特和格萊茲曼偶爾可以接受卡塔爾外交官的健康檢查,並且偶爾可以給家人打電話。塔利班發言人扎比胡拉·穆賈希德 (Zabihullah Mujahid) 於 2024 年 3 月首次承認塔利班在監獄中關押著兩名美國人,根據 報導。穆賈希德在 7 月塔利班代表與國際領導人舉行有爭議的杜哈會談結束時,重申了這一訊息。穆賈希德提到,塔利班“在美國也有囚犯,在關塔那摩灣也有囚犯。我們應該釋放我們在美國的囚犯,以換取他們”。三名未具名的高級塔利班領導人在 7 月表示,他們會考慮用關押在阿富汗的三名美國囚犯,換取被關押在關塔那摩灣的穆罕默德·拉希姆 (Muhammad Rahim) 和兩名因與毒品相關罪行被關押在美國監獄中的阿富汗人。到了 8 月,兩名官員“改變了他們之前的說法”,聲稱只有兩名美國囚犯被關押,而第三名“否認塔利班完全扣押了哈比比”。上週,穆賈希德 表示,塔利班只關押了兩名“因違反阿富汗法律而被判有罪的美國人”,並說“我們監獄裡沒有叫哈比比的人”。Ariana News 很可能自塔利班重掌權力以來就成了他們的喉舌。根據防禦民主基金會高級研究員兼 FDD 長期戰爭期刊編輯比爾·羅吉奧 (Bill Roggio) 的說法,拉希姆是關塔那摩灣最後一名阿富汗被拘留者。羅吉奧告訴 Digital,這位中間人“極其惡劣”。羅吉奧提供了一份 2016 年 3 月有關拉希姆的關塔那摩灣被拘留者報告,該報告證實了這名囚犯“在監獄中變得更加堅定地支持該組織的聖戰主義教義和伊斯蘭極端主義”。據報導,拉希姆“繼續將美國和西方視為敵人,表達了對其他恐怖組織的襲擊的支持和讚揚,並表示他打算返回聖戰並殺害美國人”。 在 12 月援引國家情報總監的說法報導稱,大約 27% 的獲釋關塔那摩灣被拘留者“重新投入了敵對行動”。 Digital 聯繫了塔利班發言人扎比胡拉·穆賈希德 (Zabihullah Mujahid)、塔利班駐杜哈政治辦公室主任蘇海爾·沙欣 (Suhail Shaheen) 和外交部發言人阿卜杜勒·卡哈爾·巴爾基 (Abdul Qahar Balkhi),以獲取有關哈比比案件的資訊。沙欣表示,他不知道哈比比的案子。巴爾基和穆賈希德沒有回應有關哈比比的問題,也沒有回應塔利班希望用哪些阿富汗人交換美國俘虜的問題。為了爭取馬哈茂德的釋放,艾哈邁德說他的家人已經與美國國務院和 會面,並會見了加利福尼亞州、弗吉尼亞州和新澤西州的參議員和眾議員。艾哈邁德報告說,他們都在“努力將馬哈茂德接回家”。艾哈邁德指出,他兄弟被捕影響了整個家庭,包括年邁的父母和馬哈茂德的妻子祖爾希賈 (Zulhija),她在阿富汗是一名醫生。由於為馬哈茂德奔走和照顧他們年幼的女兒的壓力,祖爾希賈不得不擱置了考取美國行醫執照的學習。“馬哈茂德被關押了,但家人就像都被關押了一樣,”艾哈邁德解釋說。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。

誰是班克斯?這位英國街頭藝術家作品廣為人知,但他的身分卻是個謎 News

誰是班克斯?這位英國街頭藝術家作品廣為人知,但他的身分卻是個謎

(SeaPRwire) - 班克斯的作品闻名世界,但他的身份对遍布全球的粉丝来说却是一个完全的谜。被称为班克斯的这个人是其中之一 班克斯的作品售价高达数百万美元,他的客户包括布拉德·皮特和克里斯蒂娜·阿奎莱拉等一线明星。他的许多沉浸式作品都带有政治意味,以艺术形式突出了全球问题,而另一些则描绘了更轻松、更俏皮的主题。围绕班克斯的神秘面纱依然存在,但当然,关于这位著名艺术家究竟是谁的猜测一直不断。据信班克斯是班克斯以在布里斯托尔周围喷涂模版设计而闻名的涂鸦艺术家,他因此声名鹊起。 无论他的身份是多么神秘,班克斯都获得了高度赞誉,例如在 2010 年被《时代》杂志评为 100 位最具影响力的人物之一。在提交给该杂志的照片中,班克斯用纸袋遮住头部,以隐藏自己的身份。 班克斯还在好莱坞留下了自己的印记。2006 年,班克斯的作品出现在 2010 年,班克斯执导了一部名为“从礼品店出口”的纪录片,该片获得了奥斯卡提名。班克斯的第一件作品是一幅名为“温和的西方”的模版壁画。 这件作品于 1999 年绘制在布里斯托尔的斯托克斯·克罗夫特地区。 这幅壁画描绘了一只拿着燃烧瓶的泰迪熊,准备朝三名防暴警察投掷。 从那时起,班克斯创作了许多广为人知的作品,包括“低俗小说”,这件作品描绘了 1994 年电影中的一个场景,以及“爱在空中”,也称为“投掷花朵”,它被放置在西岸墙上 迄今为止,班克斯从未正式公开自己的身份,但关于这位著名艺术家究竟是谁的理论已经流传了几十年。 一种理论认为,班克斯是 Massive Attack 乐队的罗伯特·德尔·纳贾。这种猜测主要源于艺术家在乐队演出过的地点出现壁画。 人们对寻找这位艺术家的真实身份的兴趣持续增长,尤其是在 2023 年,一段 2003 年接受 BBC 记者采访的视频重新浮出水面。尽管视频中没有显示班克斯的脸,但记者问他真名是不是“罗伯特·班克斯”,这位艺术家回答说“是罗比”。 最流行的一种猜测是,班克斯是罗宾·甘宁汉。杰米·休莱特和尼尔·布坎南是其他被怀疑是这位臭名昭著的艺术家的嫌疑人。 尽管公众已经进行了猜测,并且一直在寻找证据,但这位艺术家从未公开承认自己是这些人中的任何一个,或其他任何人。 班克斯最昂贵的作品被称为“爱在垃圾桶里”。 根据吉尼斯世界纪录,这件艺术品于 2021 年 10 月 14 日在伦敦苏富比拍卖行以 18,582,000 英镑(25,327,400 美元)的价格售出。 这件标志性的艺术品最初是著名的“气球女孩”。这件艺术品一经售出,就开始向下移动,并被撕成碎片。在艺术品底部,有一个粉碎机,使这个令人震惊的把戏成为现实。最初,这件艺术品展示的是一个女孩,她的手臂伸得很远,伸向一个心形的氣球,这个气球超出了她的触及范围。 当它在 2021 年 10 月出售时,这件艺术品的下半部分被整齐地撕成条状,只露出了心形气球。 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。
