North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency said Kim visited the 5,000-ton destroyer Kang Kon on Thursday as it underwent capability tests.
[Inter-Korea] : North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has inspected a navigation test for a newly built naval destroyer that tipped over during a launching ceremony last year. The North’s state-run Korean Central News Agency(KCNA) said Saturday that Kim boarded the five-thousand-ton Kang Kon destroyer two days earlier to ... [more...]

• Targets entire family of viruses, animal-borne strains; aims to thwart future pandemics; initial-phase trials of 39 participants succeeded; larger efficacy studies loom • Experts hail move as ‘pivotal leap’ for humanity • Approach could end need for regular flu vaccine updates A “FUNDAMENTALLY new” vaccine designed entirely by artificial intelligence has been tested in people for the first time, in what researchers at the University of Cambridge describe as a potential breakthrough in the effort to prevent future pandemics, BBC reported. This experimental approach seeks to establish immunity against a broad range of viruses, including all known coronaviruses, rather than targeting a single circulating strain. Traditional vaccine development typically relies on a currently circulating viral strain. However, certain viruses are adept at mutating, causing conventional vaccines to lose efficacy quickly. This is why seasonal flu and Covid shots require regular updates. “We’re always behind,” Professor Jonathan Heeney of Cambridge told the BBC, noting his team’s goal is to reverse this dynamic. “What we’re trying to do is get ahead of the curve.” The researchers claim it is the first time a vaccine’s key component has been designed entirely by AI and then trialled in people. To achieve this, researchers compiled genetic codes — the biological instruction manuals — from coronaviruses documented by global surveillance programs. An AI system analysed these sequences to design a “super-antigen.” Antigens are essential components of vaccines that train the immune system to attack foreign invaders. This super-antigen trains the immune system to defend against the entire family of viruses, providing immunity even if viruses mutate or a new infection jumps from animals to humans. The technology is “surprising all of us”, Heeney said, adding it is “amazing what we can do with it for the good of humanity”. “This is about making vaccines that protect us, not just from today’s viruses, but protect us from what can cause the next outbreak or disease,” Heeney said. “This is a fundamental shift in how we prepare for pandemics.” Initial trials involving 39 participants assessed safety. A subsequent study of approximately 200 individuals will test how effectively the vaccine stimulates the immune system. Findings published in the Journal of Infection indicated that the impact on the immune system was “modest,” yet the results continue to generate excitement. Prof Saul Faust of the University of Southampton, who led some of the trial work, said the AI-driven approach “definitely has potential” and described it as “really exciting”. “What’s really interesting is the technology is an awful lot better at designing vaccines for potential pandemics when viruses are changing,” he said. While coronavirus research remains in early stages, the team is leveraging the technology to develop vaccines for other ailments. According to the report, they are conducting animal research into a universal seasonal flu vaccine to eliminate the need for annual updates. They are also developing a vaccine for the H5N1 bird flu. Researchers are also exploring inoculations for viral hemorrhagic fevers, including Ebola species. The BBC highlighted that the ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo is caused by an Ebola species currently lacking a targeted vaccine. Professor Andy Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, who was not involved in the Cambridge study, told the outlet that the methodology is producing compelling evidence. “It’s fascinating data, and people wouldn’t have predicted they’d be able to generate these immune responses,” Pollard said. Pollard cautioned that human trials will determine success, as human immune systems differ from those of laboratory mice. Broadly, Pollard characterised AI as a “game changer” for vaccine research, predicting it will accelerate development and “save lives”. Professor Marian Knight, scientific director for the National Institute for Health and Care Research, described the trial as a “pivotal leap forward in our ability to deliver broad, lasting viral protection”. “Another British science success story, this is a great example of how we can bring our research expertise together with AI to deliver new treatments,” UK’s Science Minister Lord Vallance said. “With the first human trials showing positive results, this work could help speed up the rollout of vaccines to benefit people all over the world for the long term.” Published in Dawn, June 6th, 2026
Building a navy capable of delivering a "deadly blow" to enemies is a core goal of North Korea's current five-year defence plan, says North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
North Korean ruler Kim Jong-un’s recent display of nuclear-processing capabilities appears timed with reports of an impending visit by China’s leader and fuelled by insecurities about Seoul’s nuclear submarine talks with Washington. Analysts also say that mounting trilateral talks involving the United States, Japan and South Korea have galvanised Kim into doubling down on Pyongyang’s status as a nuclear-armed state. The state-run Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) announced on Friday that Xi...

Wall Street’s nine-week winning streak ended with a thud on Friday, as red-hot technology stocks suffered their largest daily decline this year after a hot May jobs report fueled fears of a hawkish policy pivot from the US Federal Reserve. Selling was concentrated among chip stocks and other technology favorites that have surged higher in recent weeks as the Nasdaq Composite Index and S&P 500 rose repeatedly to fresh highs. All three major US stock indexes closed sharply lower, with plunging chip stocks dragging the tech-laden Nasdaq down by its largest one-day percentage loss since last year. The S&P 500 ended its nine-week run of Friday-to-Friday gains, its longest weekly winning streak since one that ended in December 2023. “After the record run we’ve seen the last nine weeks in equities, specifically tech and semiconductors, the dam just broke today,” said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at Carson Group in Omaha. “Obviously, the stronger-than-expected jobs report puts the Fed in a tough spot regarding any interest rate cut for the rest of the year. And the market is throwing a fit by hitting the big winners so far this year.” Rising interest rates and the Iran war weighed on sentiment heading into the weekend, but many investors said they expected tech stocks to continue rallying. “The market reaction today was more driven by positioning rather than fundamentals,” said Ohsung Kwon, chief equity strategist at Wells Fargo. “The semiconductor sector was way overbought. That’s why we’re seeing the selloff. I don’t think it’s the end of the semi bull market.” The US economy added 172,000 jobs in May, according to the Labor Department, more than double analyst expectations, while the unemployment rate held firm at 4.3 per cent. The robust report was double-edged: it provided reassurance of US economic health, but all but killed any hopes of an interest rate cut from the Fed in the near future. Financial markets are pricing in a growing likelihood of a rate hike at the conclusion of the Fed’s December meeting, according to CME’s FedWatch tool. Fading hopes for a near-term resolution to the Middle East war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz are stirring fears that energy price pressures could morph into wider, systemic inflation. According to preliminary data, the S&P 500 lost 199.64 points, or 2.63pc, to end at 7,384.67 points, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 1,117.38 points, or 4.16pc, to 25,713.58. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 684.53 points, or 1.33pc, to 50,877.40. Nvidia, the largest company by market value, fell sharply, as did smaller rivals Intel, Micron, AMD and Broadcom. Lululemon Athletica slumped after the athletic apparel maker cut its annual profit forecast and projected second-quarter earnings well below Wall Street estimates. Cooper Companies rose after the contact lens maker beat estimates for second-quarter results. Cryptocurrency firms Coinbase and Strategy were pulled lower by bitcoin’s sharp drop. S&P Global said it would not change the eligibility requirements for its major indices, which effectively rules out a swift entry for Elon Musk’s SpaceX to the benchmark S&P 500 after it goes public in what would be the world’s biggest initial public offering. S&P Dow Jones Indices will announce the results following its rebalancing after markets close. Chipmaker Marvell Technology, which boasts over $270 billion in valuation, is among the contenders to be added to the benchmark index.

President Poetin ziet voorlopig geen nut in een ontmoeting met zijn Oekraïense ambtgenoot Zelensky. Dat zei de Russische president bij de afsluiting van zijn eigen economische conferentie in Sint-Petersburg. Zelensky riep Poetin gisteren per brief op tot persoonlijke onderhandelingen. De kans dat Poetin zou ingaan op de uitnodiging werd al klein geacht. Nu zegt Poetin, niet voor het eerst, dat hij Zelensky pas zien op het moment dat er een deal wordt ondertekend. Zelensky daadwerkelijk bij de naam noemen deed Poetin niet, hij hield het bij "de auteur van de brief". De tekst was volgens hem brutaal van toon. "Wat is daar het nut van?", zei Poetin. "Is het bedoeld om de weg vrij te maken voor persoonlijke ontmoetingen en onderhandelingen, of juist om een sfeer te creëren waarin het houden van dat soort bijeenkomsten in de praktijk onmogelijk wordt?" 'Zwak antwoord' In een reactie noemt Zelensky Poetins antwoord zwak. "Helaas kiest de Russische kant opnieuw voor oorlog", schrijft de Oekraïense president op X. "Hij wil de oorlog gewoon niet beëindigen." Zelensky herhaalde zijn oproep om de druk op Rusland te verhogen. Verder ging het weinig over de oorlog met Oekraïne op de meerdaagse conferentie SPIEF, het jaarlijkse forum dat wordt gezien als "het Russische Davos". Poetin sprak er traditiegetrouw de Rusland-gezinde delegaties toe. De onafhankelijke krant The Moscow Times omschrijft het doel van het evenement om Rusland af te schilderen als een "aantrekkelijke investeringslocatie, een betrouwbare zakenpartner en een toonaangevende moderne economische macht". Wessel de Jong, Rusland- en Oekraïne-verslaggever: "Dat geen woord over de oorlog ging in zijn speech, is kenmerkend voor Poetin. Het verhaal dat hij hield, staat eigenlijk volkomen los van de realiteit. Zo sprak hij over een laag werkloosheidspercentage in Rusland, maar benoemde daarbij niet dat alle mannen naar het front zijn. Ondertussen is er een gierend tekort aan arbeidskrachten in het land. Ook zei hij dat de industriële productie heel sterk groeit, zonder te benoemen dat een groot deel rechtstreeks naar het front gaat. Dat draagt niet bij aan de Russische economie, maar gaat natuurlijk rechtstreeks de lucht in. Verder kroop Poetin vooral in de slachtofferrol. Het Westen vindt volgens hem altijd redenen om Rusland te straffen. Is het niet voor Oekraine, dan is het wel voor onze lhbti-wetten of rol in het Midden-Oosten. En dat de oorlog in Oekraine zo lang duurt, is volgens de Russische president vooral de schuld van de Europese elite die alleen maar chaos kan creëren." De conferentie verliep dit jaar wel anders dan normaal. Terwijl zwarte rookpluimen boven de stad hingen kwamen functionarissen, zakenmensen en mediapersoonlijkheden aan. Sint-Petersburg werd uren daarvoor nog aangevallen door Oekraïense drones. Zelensky verwees in zijn brief naar de aanval. "Onze drones hebben een bezoek gebracht aan de opening van jouw top in Sint-Petersburg, op ruim 1000 kilometer afstand. Zoals je weet is die afstand niet de limiet van ons bereik." Saudi-Arabië is eregast, de Amerikaanse acteur Steven Seagal was aanwezig als panellid en ook de conservatieve podcaster Candace Owens stond op de lijst van genodigden:
