The New Year Commences with a discussion on US-China relations. Both countries complete 45 years of diplomatic relations. The relationship is under a thaw with trust deficit being prominent. Clashing of their national interest will give little scope for normalisation https://lnkd.in/gSdtA2gH

The need for transformation isn't limited to media – it's a reality across all industries. From the internet and paywalls to social media and beyond, these trends have constantly forced media channels to adapt. But by embracing a culture of adaptability, media has not only survived but evolved.

The B-BBEE landscape in South Africa is continuously evolving, with potential reforms in media ownership being a recent point of discussion. While the specifics and timeline remain under discussion, the The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies (DCDT) has proposed increasing the minimum black ownership requirement for broadcasting licences. Stakeholder engagement on these potential amendments is ongoing, and the final form and implementation timeline are subject to further discussions and parliamentary processes. We remain dedicated to providing our clients with the latest information and insights on B-BBEE developments. #JacanaAdvisory #BBBEE #NewsOwnership #Reform #SouthAfrica #Transformation #Compliance

In an interview with PRVA TV, Tomislav Momirović, Minister of Internal and External Trade, provided useful insights about the Government of the Republic of Serbia delegation's recent visit to Japan. The Minister underscored the two nations' long-standing relationship, which has resulted in a number of investments and cooperation, significant FDI incomes, as well a notable transfer of know-how and modern corporate culture from Japanese companies. Furthermore, he emphasized the tremendous potential for future economic partnership, which would be examined further during the Japanese business delegation's visit this autumn. The visit that included meetings with 3 ministers of the Government of Japan signals the beginning of a new age of abundance and innovation.

The EU has suspended the broadcasting activities in the EU of 4 media outlets which allegedly spread Russian propaganda and are under the direct or indirect control of the Russian govt.: Voice of Europe (already autonomously designated by the Czech Republic), RIA Novosti, Izvestia and Rossiyskaya Gazeta. The measures only prohibit broadcasting; they do not prevent other activities eg research and interviews. #UKSanctions #Russia #EUCommission #ExportControl #TradeWar #TSECS #SanctionsUpdate #TurkishSociety #Sanctions #USA #OFAC #BIS #TradeUpdates #GlobalTrade #TradeCompliance #InternationalRelations #EconomicSanctions #TradeRegulations #TurkishExports #TradePolicy #SecurityMatters #ForeignPolicy #ComplianceNews #EconomicSecurity #CrossBorderBusiness

What Jean Philip De Tender says 👇 does not correspond with the fact that the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) expressed concerns about freedom of expression re KAN following the Karai Broadcasing Law in Israel being passed in August 2023 which prompted Noel Curran to issue a statement saying "Free news and #freedomofexpression are critical to the functioning of a healthy democracy. We ask the Israeli government to preserve the independence of KAN and ensure that it can continue to operate freely and with funding that is sustainable, adequate, fair and transparent" (see https://lnkd.in/eic6krnP ) and EBU even wrote to the Israeli PM accordingly. yet Martin Osterdahl (and now Mr De Tender below) relate Russia/Belarus exclusions with freedom of expression reasons. 👉 Can the EBU confirm *how* the Karai Broadcasting Law which prompted their recent concern about KAN and freedom of expression is different from why Russia was banned and/or is NOT a breach of member obligations?

Because, I think, it is not the US-President, US-government or US-Administration but Israel and the rich-talented-powerful Israelis / Jews living in The USA and/or elsewhere in the world who actually dominate the US-foreign policy and the CIA for having financial and technological supremacy and superiority to regulate the US-technology, Businesses, Economy, Politics/Elections and/or other sophisticated and sensitive sets-up and decision making persons and /or personalities to be dared to that extent to compel the any USA-government irrespective of Presidents or Parties in Power; Democrats or Republicans! ON THE BASIS OF PAST/PREVIOUS AND PRESENT role of the USA, If my observations and/or assumption be logical at least by 30%, then the US-Government shall have no option but to remain convinced AND be compelled to give priority-most to safeguard the interest of ISRAEL first and foremost above other ISSUES of foreign policy concerned deploying their bests to BACK Israel to win the battle or war at the costs of another world war! And for the same reason, other Countries or States like the UK, France, Germany, UAE, Canada and many others irrespective of nationality, region or religion are also helpless to keep supporting ISRAEL to come and remain in power!!! The intensity of the bad smell of the rotten eggs lying in the US- "sandwich diplomacy" in between human-rights and democracy shall ultimately be held liable to be revealed and polluted the air throughout the world tainting also the  UN which never be transformed into the forum of true democracy simply because of VETO POWER OF the permanent Members of the Security Council over the democratically/by majority passed decision in the UN-General Assembly !

How Do You Think Should Israel Respond to Iran's Missile Attack? There are a lot of people all over the world who are trying to come up with the right answer to this question. The answer you come up with may depend not just on where you sit but where you come from as a person and whether you are generally more aggressive or more cautious. Restraint and Caution: I can imagine President Biden cautioning Benjamin Netanyahu to use restraint as aggressive action may escalate Israel's fight with Hamas into WWIII in the Middle East with the potential for the use of nuclear weapons. Strong Response: John Bolten on the other has is a very smart, very experienced diplomat, yet widely known as a war Hawk, says Iran's attack on Israel is a massive failure of Israeli and American deterrence. He says a strong response is required to reestablish deterrence and a weak one will be an invitation to more attacks. He says this is the perfect opportunity for Israel to strike down Iran's nuclear power program. International: Your views may differ based on what country you are from, where you stand on Israel vs the Arab world, and how you perceive the situation. One person on LinkedIn commented, "Am Yisrael Chai" translates from Hebrew to "The people of Israel live" in English. It's often used as an expression of solidarity and resilience. I would like to hear divergent views and perspectives on this. How about yours? #Israel #Iran #Biden #MiddleEast #Geopolitics #Netenyahu #Diplomacy
