EU unveils plan to secure raw materials

PEJOURNAL - Worried by an increasing dependency on the raw materials used to make smart phones, televisions and energy-saving lights, the European Union on Thursday launched a new strategy to secure access to rare earth minerals and to reduce reliance on suppliers like Chile, China and South Africa.

Exxon Mobil weighs global job cuts after unveiling Australian lay-off plan

PEJOURNAL - Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) is assessing possible worldwide job cuts, a spokesman said on Wednesday, after the company announced a voluntary lay-off programme in Australia.

The company has slashed capital spending this year by 30% to around $23 billion and said in August it planned both capital and operating expense cuts to defend its dividend after reporting losses in the first and second quarters. “We have evaluations underway on a country-by-country basis to…

Large antibody study offers hope for virus vaccine efforts

PEJOURNAL - Antibody that people make to fight the new coronavirus last for at least four months after diagnosis and do not fade quickly as some earlier reports suggested, scientists have found. Tuesday’s report, from tests on more than 30,000 people in Iceland, is the most extensive work yet on the immune system’s response to the virus over time, and is good news for efforts to develop vaccines. If a vaccine can spur production of long-lasting antibodies as natural infection seems to do, it gives hope that “immunity to this unpredictable and highly contagious virus may not be fleeting,” scientists…

Japan, prime minister, resignation, Shinzo Abe

What’s next after Japan PM Shinzo Abe quits?

Zuckerberg says Facebook’s failure to remove militia page an ‘operational mistake’

PEJOURNAL - Facebook Inc (FB.O) made an “operational mistake” in not acting sooner to remove a page for a militia group that posted a call to arms in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the company’s Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said on Friday.

The First Nuclear Power Plant in Arab World

BY: Daniel Ranjbar PEJOURNAL - The United Arab Emirates grew to be the first Arab Country to open a Nuclear Power Plant on Saturday, raising concerns about the long-term consequences of introducing more nuclear programs to the Middle East.

Israel has an unacknowledged nuclear weapons arsenal and Iran has a controversial uranium enrichment program that it insists is fully for peaceable purposes. The U.A.E., a tiny kingdom that has grown to be a regional heavyweight and international enterprise center, said it constructed the plant to…

The presence of Zionism in Belarus

BY: Damir Nazarov PEJOURNAL - As with the Maidan in Ukraine, today's protests in Belarus are controlled by Zionists. Liberal Zionists prepared provocations against official Minsk in advance, and after waiting for the right moment, the Zionist Hasbara activated the process of destroying the Belarusian state. Sergei Tikhanovsky, a local businessman, blogger and liberal activist, became the main actor of the Belarusian Maidan. Tikhanovsky has a wide range of connections, including with the liberal party of the Russian Federation, as evidenced by the friendship with such as Sobchak. As the main trump card, the leader of the local Maidan activists…
