"title": "My smartphone wrecked my wrist. Here's how",
"body": "It started as a dull ache in my right wrist. Maybe I'd been working out too hard at the gym. So, I stopped lifting weights with my right arm.\n\nThen the pain happened again. Had I carried too many heavy bags? Or tripped and fallen on my wrist? No, I hadn't done anything like that.\n\nI went to work one morning and started typing on my keyboard, and it got worse.\n\nThat's when I realized that perhaps I hadn't injured myself in a single incident. Maybe I had been using my smartphone, or really, overusing it.\n\nOur hands are made up of tendons, small bones, muscles and nerves that pass through one central area: the wrist.\n\nAnd hands and wrists are particularly susceptible to damage from the thousands of tiny micromovements we do each day -- especially when actions such as typing on a phone become so repetitive.\n\nThere are three main conditions linked with excessive smartphone use. Trigger finger occurs when the tendon that helps your fingers bend becomes inflamed, so it gets stuck in a certain position. De Quervain tenosynovitis is a condition in which the two tendons along the thumb become swollen and irritated. And carpal tunnel syndrome happens when the major nerve that goes to your hand becomes compressed at your wrist.\n\nAnd while it may not be considered a medical condition, \"smartphone pinkie\" can also result from repetitive motions. It's a temporary indentation in your little finger that comes from holding your phone in your hand.\n\nDr. Ariel Williams, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in hand and upper extremity surgery at Yale Medicine, said she's treating an increasing number of patients who say their mobile phones have aggravated their symptoms or their issues started with some change in their mobile phone use.\n\n\"It is probably a combination of the repetitive motions we engage in when we are using our phones and also being in a particular position for a prolonged period of time,\" said Williams, who is also an assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at Yale University School of Medicine.\n\n\"All those things put increased stress on our bones and joints and ligaments and tendons and can also cause changes that end up causing increased pressure on our nerves.\"\n\nBut it's too soon to tell whether the technology most affects hands or wrists.\n\n\"This is a problem that impacts both our wrists and our hands and even sometimes problems that we see originate from our elbows,\" Williams said. \"Our wrists and hands are so complex, and there are so many infinitesimal motions that happen over and over again, and every time we scroll or we send a text ... those things just cause cumulative strain over time.\"\n\nThe impact on the neck\n\nBut it's not just our hands and wrists that are affected. The neck is another part of the body that comes under significant strain from constant interactions with technology. Tech neck is the term for the symptoms associated with this pain.\n\nThese symptoms include pain at the back of the neck, aching or tightness around the back and sides of the neck, stiffness and a reduced range of motion in the neck as well as headaches.\n\nThis condition is something a lot of people need to pay attention to, said ergonomic physical therapist Kelly Robinson, who is based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.\n\nPeople are increasingly conducting most of their daily business on their phones, especially with the advent of artificial intelligence, Robinson said.\n\n\"So, the smartphone and the laptop is just in everyone's life,\" she said, \"whether it's in your personal life, in your work life, probably both.\"\n\nTech neck can lead to headaches and fatigue\n\nTechnology's impact on our necks can be pronounced. The neck houses multiple important nerves and neural pathways so tech neck can lead to headaches and fatigue, and every time you bend your neck forward, it puts significant pressure through the nape.\n\n\"They've actually done quite a lot of research on this,\" Robinson said, \"and what they've shown is even with an increase in 10 or 20 degrees of your neck angle, looking downwards at a phone, for example, you are increasing the load on your lower neck, on the joints.\"\n\n\"So if my head is simply at a 30-degree angle down, I'm increasing the loads on my neck structures by three times, which is up to around 15 to 20 kilos on my neck.\"\n\nHow to prevent these conditions\n\nSome prevention tips to ease tech-related pain are simple enough to incorporate into your everyday life, Robinson said.\n\nBecome more ambidextrous: Constantly holding a phone in one hand puts all the pressure through that hand and can cause repetitive stress injuries. Try sharing the load with your other hand. It'll split that pressure between the two hands.\n\nTuck in your chair at your desk: Tucking in your chair can make all the difference when it comes to posture. Leaning away from your desk brings your neck and back down and rounded. Tucking in your chair automatically brings your neck up -- provided you have the tools required in the next step.\n\nGet a laptop stand: Bring your laptop to your eyeline to avoid looking down. A wireless keyboard and mouse help, too. That way you don't have to keep your arms or eyes at awkward positions.\n\nActivate your back muscles: A banded row can help activate your back muscles before you sit at your desk for a whole day. Doing so keeps your body more upright instead of falling into a hunched position.\n\nStretch your hands behind your back: Link your hands together behind your back and lean forward, which will stretch out your upper back and help keep your head back.\n\nFor more CNN news and newsletters create an account at CNN.com",

"body": "PARIS, Nov 10 (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have filed a second set of defamation complaints against Candace Owens two weeks after a US court narrowed a first one, the US right-wing podcaster said late on Monday in a post on X.\n\n* The Macrons had sued Owens and two businesses associated with her in July 2025 in a Delaware court over what they called her lie-filled \"campaign of global humiliation,\" including the false claim that France's first lady was born a male\n\n* In this new lawsuit, the Macrons sued over Owens's use of a Brigitte doll they called \"grotesque\" and said was used by the podcaster as a \"prop to ridicule her appearance\", according to excerpts of a court filing released by Owens\n\n* Last month, a Delaware judge ruled that he did not have jurisdiction over Owens, who lives in Tennessee, and that the Macrons could sue Owens's companies but not her as an individual\n\n* An official from Macron's office confirmed the presidential couple filed a lawsuit, but referred to their personal lawyer in the US, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment\n\n(Reporting by Inti Landauro and Elizabeth Pineau; Editing by Makini Brice)",

"title": "Siargao's tourism boom: Are local Filipinos being priced out of paradise?",
"body": "Once a quiet surfing haven in the Philippines, Siargao has become one of the world's most sought-after island destinations. But as visitor numbers soar, residents are grappling with rising living costs, environmental pressures and growing tensions with tourists.\n\nSIARGAO, Philippines: For professional surfer John Mark Tokong, better known to his peers as Marama, the waters surrounding Siargao have always been more than a surfing paradise.\n\nGrowing up on the southeastern Philippine island, fishing was part of everyday life. When there was little food, the sea provided. Families relied on farming and selling what they could to make ends meet.\n\n\"Growing up here, a long time ago, (there was) not much business,\" he recalled. \"If we didn't have food, we'd go fishing. We'd farm (for) rice.\"\n\nToday, the island he calls home is almost unrecognisable.\n\nOnce-quiet streets are now lined with trendy cafes, restaurants and resorts. Tourists flock to its beaches while surfers from around the world descend on its legendary waves.\n\nFor Marama, who has since become one of the nation's leading professional surfers, the transformation has opened doors to opportunities that would have been difficult to imagine during his childhood.\n\nBut Siargao's newfound fame has also come at a cost.\n\nBehind its picture-perfect beaches and thriving tourism industry, locals are grappling with soaring rents, mounting waste and fears that rapid development could eventually push them out of their own communities.\n\nFROM SURFING HIDEAWAY TO GLOBAL HOTSPOT\n\nA decade ago, Siargao was a sleepy enclave known mainly to die-hard surf enthusiasts drawn to its powerful Pacific swells.\n\nBut as the island became more accessible, a social media-fuelled tourism boom soon followed.\n\nIn 2019, readers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine voted Siargao the world's best island, ahead of established tropical destinations such as Bali and Bora Bora.\n\nTourist arrivals reached 257,900 that year, according to the Philippine Department of Tourism.\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and the devastation caused by Super Typhoon Rai in 2021 temporarily disrupted that growth.\n\nBut tourism rebounded sharply, with arrivals surging past half a million in 2023 and climbing further to 557,094 in 2024. That was nearly four times the island's population of 145,806 that year, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority's census.\n\nMuch of the activity is concentrated in General Luna, the island's main tourism hub, where a lively stretch aptly named Tourism Road is packed with restaurants, bars, accommodation and shops.\n\nThe real crowd-drawer remains its world-class surf scene.\n\nDubbed the Philippines' surfing capital, the island offers waves for almost every skill level, from beginners learning to balance on their boards to seasoned professionals chasing the ultimate adrenaline rush.\n\nLocal surf coach Rafael Nogalo said the influx of visitors has created a livelihood built around sharing his passion for the ocean.\n\n\"For beginners, the moment they catch their first wave and I hear them scream and raise their hands, is the best reward ever,\" said the former competitive surfer.\n\nThe island's most famous surf break, Cloud 9, has earned a reputation for powerful, barrelling waves.\n\nThe spot was also where Siargao hosted its first World Surf League Championship Tour, the highest level of professional surfing, earlier this month.\n\nAmong the competitors was the island's very own Marama, who made history as the first Filipino to secure a main-event wildcard for the tour. Although he did not win the tournament, he pulled off a stunning opening-round upset against Brazil's world number 11 Samuel Pupo.\n\nBut while the event marks a major milestone for Siargao's surfing community, it has also brought fresh attention to the growing pressures on an island already grappling with the impact of its tourism boom.\n\nLOCALS GRAPPLE WITH RISING PRICES\n\nDespite the jobs and business opportunities brought by the influx of visitors, residents and entrepreneurs are increasingly questioning whether Siargao's rapid growth is coming at too high a cost.\n\nFilipino-French business owner Christophe Bariou first visited Siargao when he was 12. He remembers roads winding through dense jungles, with small towns and beaches emerging unexpectedly from the greenery.\n\nThe experience left such a lasting impression that he eventually returned to settle on the island.\n\nMore than a decade later, Bariou now owns a boutique resort, a restaurant and a coconut milk brand, and employs dozens of residents.\n\n\"Siargao is a paradise for people who come here. For tourists, especially. There's so much to see. It's such a unique island because of its community and the surf,\" he said.\n\nHe welcomes the economic opportunities that tourism has created, but admits the boom is a double-edged sword.\n\n\"Development always comes, no matter what, with some sort of impact,\" he told CNA, adding that sustainability should be incorporated into projects from the outset, alongside efforts to give back to the local community.\n\nFor Maria Tokong, a musician, cultural activist and community organiser whose family descends from Siargao's indigenous settlers, the changes have been particularly unsettling.\n\nShe remembers growing up in a close-knit community surrounded by unspoiled natural beauty.\n\nNow, she fears that the island's traditional residents, known locally as Lumad, are increasingly being priced out of the places they have called home for generations.\n\nAs corporate giants and foreign-backed developers compete to buy or lease land for resorts and tourism businesses, property values have climbed, pushing up rents and the cost of everyday necessities.\n\n\"Lately, the new businesses and events coming into our island seem to exclude the Lumads entirely,\" Tokong said.\n\n\"It feels like almost all the services - or at least the vast majority - are no longer meant for us, especially now that everything has become so unaffordable.\"\n\nIn General Luna, monthly rent for a small studio apartment can reach 35,000 pesos (US$550), comparable to prices in major Philippine cities.\n\nRising transport, fuel and operating costs have also forced some local eateries, known as carinderias, to raise their prices.\n\nLocal authorities have acknowledged the growing affordability problem. They are strengthening price monitoring for basic commodities to protect consumers from surging costs, while exploring longer-term solutions.\n\n\"We want to buy properties for the local government, maybe farther from the town, so we can (build) some facilities or socialised housing for people,\" said General Luna Vice Mayor Romina Rusillon-Sajulga.\n\nBut the housing crunch is just one part of a broader concern over who ultimately benefits from Siargao's tourism boom.\n\nMark Pintucan and Iris Aroa, who moved to the island about a decade ago, have witnessed how traditional livelihoods have come under pressure as the tourism economy expands.\n\nThey discovered that more than 90 per cent of the island's produce was imported, driving up food prices even as domestic growers struggled to access the growing market.\n\nDetermined to change that, the couple established Lokal Lab, a non-governmental organisation that connects local food producers with businesses and consumers.\n\nThrough its dedicated market hub, farmers and fisherfolk can sell their harvests, while training in regenerative agroforestry helps them cultivate sustainable, high-value crops. The initiative also helps small producers formalise their businesses through government registration.\n\n\"We wanted to provide a platform for small producers, small artisans, to access the larger tourism market,\" said Aroa.\n\nPintucan believes tourism can only have a truly positive impact through fairer distribution of its economic benefits.\n\n\"It's how much the investors are taking versus what the workers can take back home. That difference ... is growing. If nothing changes in that, the community will be kicked out,\" he said.\n\nAN ISLAND STRUGGLING WITH ITS OWN WASTE\n\nBeyond rising living costs, Siargao's growing popularity is also placing enormous pressure on its environment.\n\nThe surge in visitors has generated increasing volumes of rubbish, straining waste collection and processing systems while raising the risk of pollution in surrounding waters.\n\nPreviously, waste management on the island relied heavily on mixed rubbish collection and open dumping.\n\n\"Because we're a coastal island, waste (can) easily wash straight into the ocean,\" said Gina Barquilla, head of the municipal environment and natural resources office in Del Carmen, a town on the western side of Siargao.\n\nWith open dumpsites now prohibited and the island's sensitive coastal environment ruling out a sanitary landfill, the local government must rely on source segregation.\n\nA materials recovery facility has been established to process sorted waste, integrating wastewater and solid waste management into a centralised place. It composts biodegradable materials and recycles reusable items. A waste-to-fuel machine also converts certain non-recyclable plastics into usable fuel.\n\nBut infrastructure alone will not solve the problem. Barquilla said the success of such initiatives depends on cooperation from residents and visitors, supported by clear local policies and consistent enforcement.\n\n\"Above all, this is really about the cooperation of the local government with the community,\" she said.\n\nLocal authorities are also seeking greater support from the national government to address the infrastructure gap.\n\n\"To have sustainable tourism, we should be fully supported by the national government. We don't have the capacity to build all those infrastructures,\" said vice mayor Rusillon-Sajulga.\n\nTOURIST MISCONDUCT FUELS RESENTMENT\n\nEconomic and environmental pressures are not the only challenges confronting Siargao. A series of incidents involving foreign visitors has also heightened concerns about public safety and tourist behaviour on the island.\n\nBy day, General Luna is a bustling centre for surfing, dining and island-hopping. At night, Tourism Road transforms into a sprawling open-air party, with bars and music drawing crowds eager to experience the island's famed nightlife.\n\nBut some residents say the party atmosphere has brought unwelcome problems.\n\nIn April, police intervened in a violent bar brawl involving American and Israeli tourists at a beachfront establishment. The following month, reports emerged of an alleged attack by Israeli tourists on the owners of a local cafe. CCTV footage of the incident circulated widely online, prompting a police investigation.\n\nThe incidents sparked public outrage and renewed calls for stronger measures to protect residents and businesses.\n\nFor entrepreneur and activist Rich Tuason, who traded her fast-paced life in Manila for Siargao's tranquillity four years ago, they reflect a wider problem of some visitors behaving as though they are above the rules.\n\n\"When tourists visit here, they feel entitled to act however they want without any accountability whatsoever,\" she said. \"It's so easy for them to do a crime here and then fly out right away.\"\n\nTuason said she has become increasingly concerned about safety, particularly for women. While she supports stronger law enforcement, she believes educating visitors about acceptable behaviour is equally important.\n\n\"Not all tourists know what they're supposed to do and what they're not supposed to do. I just want (them to be) informed, we don't have to kick them out and ban them,\" she said.\n\nThe controversies have also drawn diplomatic attention. Israeli Ambassador to the Philippines Dana Kursh visited Siargao following the high-profile incidents, meeting local officials and business owners.\n\nKursh stressed that tourists must respect local laws and customs, and that those who fail to do so should be brought to the relevant authorities and handled according to the law.\n\nPhilippine authorities have since stepped up efforts to regulate tourist behaviour. The Department of Tourism is developing a visitor code of conduct, which has already been piloted in Siargao.\n\nThe Bureau of Immigration has also intensified enforcement against foreigners violating immigration rules.\n\nIn July, Siargao authorities arrested a New Zealand woman and a Swiss man for allegedly operating a resort illegally while holding tourist visas.\n\nPolice patrols have also been stepped up, particularly at night when Siargao's entertainment district comes alive.\n\n\"Before, we had just 40 or 45 policemen here, but now we have 100 plus policemen. Tourism Road at nighttime you can see policemen (every) few metres,\" said Rusillon-Sajulga.\n\nPROTECTING SIARGAO FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS\n\nFor homegrown elite surfer and activist Ana Mae Alipayo, the challenges facing Siargao have become impossible to ignore.\n\nShe watched with pride as her hometown gained international recognition, but worries that its identity is increasingly being shaped by outsiders who see the island primarily as a place to party or invest.\n\n\"I never really imagined the worst side of it. I cannot control other people, like influencers who come here, (branding this) a party place. Or foreigners who come in and invest (and) sell the land,\" she said.\n\nToday, she is channelling her focus into community advocacy to guard against what some residents have described as \"invasive tourism\".\n\n\"What I'm doing right now is to speak out. And my point of view is that, as locals, we need to be informed and be stronger together,\" she said.\n\nFellow surfer Marama said Siargao's greatest asset has never been just its famous waves, but the people who call the island home.\n\n\"It's not just my home,\" he said. \"It's the people around Siargao. We have a really strong community here. We help each other,\" he said.\n\nFor indigenous musician Tokong, the stakes go beyond protecting the island's natural beauty or preserving its appeal as a tourist destination. She fears that without urgent action, the island's communities could lose their place in the very home they have inhabited for generations.\n\n\"It's crucial that we take action to make this actually last for the next generation, in the next five to 10 years,\" she said. \"If we do not act now, we might end up being displaced.\"",

"title": "Trump envoys bring Russia and Ukraine together for first peace talks in 9 months",
"body": "ABU DHABI, Nov 10 - Russian and Ukrainian officials met in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday for their first US-brokered talks since February, after President Donald Trump suggested last week that a broad deal was possible on ending the war in Ukraine and guaranteeing security in Europe.\n\nUS envoy Jared Kushner told delegates that recent contacts with both sides had \"really identified, narrowed the gaps\", and the US side had \"some good ideas\" on how to bridge their differences. Trump, he said, was committed to achieving peace.\n\n\"He really has asked us to put extra effort into trying to find a solution that hopefully ends the war but also leaves both sides in a much stronger position\" to realise their full potential, Kushner said.\n\nBut more than 4-1/2 years after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, and with Russian forces holding about a fifth of the country, Moscow and Kyiv remain far apart - despite Trump's optimism - on terms for a possible settlement.\n\nUkraine's chief delegate, Rustem Umerov, said in his opening remarks that Kyiv was focused on achieving security guarantees and a lasting peace.\n\nRussian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov underlined Moscow's preference for negotiating a broad European security framework before tackling the specifics of the war.\n\n\"The idea of defining clear parameters for a future security architecture, and only then moving on to resolving the actual Russia-Ukraine conflict, is absolutely reasonable,\" he told reporters in Moscow.\n\nEuropean Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Monday voiced the opposite view, saying wider security talks should come only after a ceasefire in Ukraine. Lavrov again rejected the notion of a truce, saying the Europeans were trying to buy breathing space for Ukraine.\n\nEUROPEANS SEEK A ROLE IN THE PROCESS\n\nThe new American drive for a deal has galvanized European officials into pushing for a place at the table to seek an end to the continent's deadliest conflict since World War Two.\n\nBefore the start of the main meeting, the Ukrainians met separately with European, NATO and EU representatives and the two American envoys, Kushner and Steve Witkoff.\n\nFrance said there could be no lasting peace in Ukraine without addressing European security, and that this required the involvement of the Europeans.\n\nRussia had made clear it did not see a place for Europeans at the meeting with the Ukrainians and Americans.\n\nOn the eve of the talks, Trump said Washington was seeing a \"very strong inclination\" towards ending the war, and that both sides were \"tired of fighting\". After meeting privately with Russian President Vladimir Putin's envoy last week at the White House, Trump predicted that a peace deal could emerge soon.\n\nTrump has frequently said an agreement was close, without a deal emerging. However, negotiations have picked up again in recent weeks after months in which Washington's attention was focused on the war in Iran.\n\nPublicly, there has been no sign that Putin is willing to drop his insistence that Ukraine surrender the entire eastern region of Donbas before a peace deal can be struck.\n\nUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has refused to hand over land that his forces have died defending.\n\nRussian front-line advances have slowed to a virtual halt this year but Moscow has been pounding Ukrainian cities and energy facilities, while Ukraine has stepped up attacks on oil refineries and other infrastructure deep inside Russia.\n\nA source in the Russian delegation said Russia believed the main thrust of the talks would be trying to hammer out the key elements of a new post-war security framework for Europe.\n\nOn the eve of the negotiations, Zelenskiy said Ukraine's leverage in the talks was increasing as a result of its recent battlefield performance, which has included retaking some territory in Donetsk, a coal-mining area of the Donbas.\n\n\"Ukrainian forces are currently genuinely strengthening Ukraine's negotiating position,\" Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address on Monday. He said Russia was suffering \"record losses\" -- an assertion disputed by Moscow -- and urged Washington to convince the Kremlin to end the war.\n\nUS negotiators believe that Zelenskiy and Putin may be willing to strike a compromise on the vital question of territory, each ceding a little, a US official told Reuters.\n\nUnder the proposed deal, Ukraine would get an end to the war, security guarantees and a roadmap to accession to the EU.\n\nA senior Ukrainian official strongly denied that the government would consider any such concessions. The issue of territory could be discussed only at the leaders' level and only in the context of appropriate security guarantees for Ukraine, the official said. REUTERS",

"title": "Tokenized High-Yield Credit Moves Into Institutional Custody as Pharos Connects to Fireblocks",
"body": "Funds and exchanges on Fireblocks can now hold tokenized U.S. high-yield credit products issued on Pharos without building new custody infrastructure.\n\nTokenized U.S. high-yield credit products are now accessible to institutions on Fireblocks, after real-world asset blockchain Pharos Network announced Tuesday that it has integrated the custody platform.\n\nThe products available at launch include the Raffaello NYLIM HYB Vault (pRNH), the NYLIM Anemoy fund and Axil Prime Credit (APC), a credit strategy issued on R25 Protocol. PROS, the native coin of Pharos, is also supported. Pharos said assets aggregated across its RWA platform now exceed $241.64 million.\n\nFor institutional allocators, the integration addresses one of the main operational hurdles in tokenized credit: holding the assets inside approved custody systems. Funds, asset managers, payment service providers and exchanges already using Fireblocks can hold, transfer and manage the supported assets within their existing workspaces, applying the same approval workflows and security policies they use for other digital assets.\n\nFireblocks provides multi-party computation (MPC) private key management and configurable transaction policies, including smart contract whitelisting and multi-party approvals, which govern supported Pharos transactions according to each institution's own permissions.\n\nFor credit issuers, the deal opens a distribution channel to institutions that were previously unable to engage with assets on the network. Pharos said the integration connects onchain credit strategies such as APC directly to institutional digital asset infrastructure.\n\n\"Institutions do not adopt new networks by rebuilding their stack. They adopt them through the infrastructure they already run,\" said Wish Wu, co-founder and CEO of Pharos.\n\nThe two companies also plan joint go-to-market work, including coordinated industry event appearances and selective introductions between Pharos issuers and institutional audiences.",

"body": "印尼为建设首座核电站而争取相互竞争的全球大国合作，但地缘政治利益可能使这个东南亚最大经济体的核电雄心面临更复杂的局面。 （Pixabay）\n\n（雅加达讯）印度尼西亚正积极争取多个国家参与建设首批核电站，计划最早于2032年启用首座核电厂。然而，至今没有任何国家向印尼提交厂址评估申请，而一家早期参与的私营投资者已经退出，凸显政府目标与实际进度的落差。\n\n印尼下游产业与能源转型统筹部长巴赫里尔上月曾透露，政府正研究在廖内群岛兴建核电厂，以确保国家能源安全，具体细节仍在评估中。\n\n不过，印尼核能监管机构（Bapeten）告诉《雅加达邮报》，该机构尚未收到与廖内群岛项目厂址评估有关的任何申请或咨询要求。\n\n该机构法律、合作和公共传播局局长伊沙克说：\"将（潜在核电站选址）纳入规划文件，并不一定意味着该地点已获得核安全方面的批准......每个候选选址仍须按照相关法规进行评估和审批。\"\n\n创立于美国但总部位于新加坡的ThorCon国际公司此前承诺，将投资约12亿美元（15亿3200万新元），在邦加勿里洞省（Bangka Belitung）的格拉萨岛（Pulau Kelasa）建造一座500兆瓦的钍熔盐反应堆，但公司却在项目完成选址评估阶段前，就解散了印尼子公司TPI，退出市场。\n\n伊沙克说，核能监管局已接获TPI解散的通知，并将与所有相关方沟通，进一步了解情况。\n\n伊沙克指出，已有多方表示有意在印尼开发核电站，而核能监管局将对所有项目采用相同的监管框架。\n\n印尼为建设首座核电站而争取相互竞争的全球大国合作，但地缘政治利益可能使这个东南亚最大经济体的核电雄心面临更复杂的局面。\n\n6月18日，时任外交部长苏吉奥诺批准与俄罗斯开展核能合作，包括技术转让和人力资源开发。他说，这将有助于印尼实现能源自给自足的目标。\n\n与此同时，印尼也欢迎通过负责任使用小型模块化反应堆技术基础设施计划（Foundational Infrastructure for the Responsible Use of Small Modular Reactor Technology ，简称FIRST）与美国开展潜在合作。这是由美国国务院牵头的一项民用核能安全倡议，日本政府为合作伙伴。\n\n印尼政府还就核电部署问题与加拿大、中国、日本和韩国的潜在投资者进行了磋商。",

"title": "England Plans Total School Phone Ban From 2027 as Government Tightens Rules",
"body": "Government targets phone-free school days as England prepares tougher mobile restrictions from September 2027 following concerns over inconsistent enforcement and classroom distractions.\n\nEngland is preparing to strengthen school mobile phone restrictions from September 2027, with the government pushing for pupils to be unable to access their devices throughout the school day. The move follows a government survey that found only 16% of secondary school pupils believe phone rules are consistently enforced.\n\nEducation Secretary Lucy Powell wants schools to go \"beyond simply banning\" phones and adopt stronger policies to prevent children from using their devices.\n\nPowell described the initiative as \"the next leap towards truly phone-free schools.\"\n\nGovernment Tightening School Phone Rules\n\nThe changes come amid concerns that existing school phone policies are not being consistently enforced.\n\nA Department for Education survey conducted in June 2026 found that only 16% of secondary school pupils said mobile phone rules were always enforced. The findings suggest that policies requiring pupils to hide devices or switch them off are not always being followed consistently.\n\nFrom Sept. 1, 2026, schools across England were expected to implement policies following statutory guidance prohibiting pupils from accessing mobile phones throughout the school day.\n\nSchools have been allowed to determine how they enforce these restrictions. Some require pupils to keep phones in their bags, while others confiscate devices at the beginning of the day or provide secure storage.\n\nThe government now wants schools to adopt more effective enforcement measures.\n\nWhat Will Change From September 2027?\n\nThe Department for Education plans to strengthen its mobile phone guidance from September 2027, encouraging schools to ensure pupils cannot access their phones throughout the school day.\n\nPossible measures include lockable phone pouches, secure storage facilities and collecting devices when pupils arrive. Some schools may go further by prohibiting pupils from bringing phones onto school premises altogether.\n\nEducation Secretary Lucy Powell has argued that smartphones should not be used during the school day.\n\n\"There should be absolutely no use of smartphones by children during the school day,\" she said.\n\nPowell added that the government wants to send a clear message to parents and pupils that school should be a place to learn and make friends.\n\nThe government is also consulting on independent safety certification for educational technology, known as EdTech, to provide greater confidence for teachers and parents.\n\nDame Rachel de Souza, the Children's Commissioner for England, has welcomed the stricter approach, saying young people should have more opportunities to learn, socialize and play without screens.\n\nHead Teachers Raise Funding Concerns\n\nWhile school leaders recognize the importance of consistent enforcement, concerns remain about the financial burden of implementing stricter policies.\n\nThe National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT) has warned that schools may need to invest in lockable pouches and other enforcement measures.\n\n\"If schools are going to be expected to implement more robust policies, then they will need additional funding and support,\" said Paul Whiteman, General Secretary of NAHT.\n\nThe Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL) has also raised concerns about the cost of secure storage for pupils' phones.\n\n\"If schools have to invest in lockable pouches, then this can cause a lot of expense. Unless the government is providing funds, then it would not be feasible to implement these policies,\" said Pepe Di'Iasio, General Secretary of ASCL.\n\nThe concerns highlight how schools could struggle to afford the resources needed to enforce restrictions. The government has previously acknowledged potential additional workloads, training requirements and funding pressures.\n\nWill Students Still Be Able to Bring Phones to School?\n\nThe changes do not necessarily mean every school will impose an identical ban on bringing phones onto its premises.\n\nThe Department for Education wants stricter enforcement while allowing headteachers to choose arrangements that work for their schools.\n\nThis could affect pupils who rely on phones to contact parents or for safety when traveling to and from school.\n\nCurrent guidance allows schools to make reasonable adjustments for pupils with specific needs, including medical circumstances, and consider exceptions where necessary.\n\nThe September 2027 changes are intended to strengthen enforcement and prevent pupils from accessing their phones during the school day, rather than automatically removing every possible exception.\n\nThe government will need to ensure schools can implement the policies effectively without placing excessive financial and administrative pressure on teachers and school staff.",
