(MENAFN- Daily News Egypt)
Many car factories halted production at the end of last week and sent letters to suppliers asking them to stop the supply for a period of two months—March and April—claiming that they will start annual maintenance works. Sources confirmed that the cessation of production was due to the market situation and the lack of vision for companies.
The sources revealed that most of the prominent companies have temporarily closed their factories for two months, such as Ghabbour Auto Company's Prima plant, which assembles the products of Hyundai and Geely, and the Aboul Fotouh factory, which assembles the Chinese Chery products. The rest of the factories reduced the production by cancelling one or two shifts of production, as happened in the Nissan and GM factories.However according to press release by Ghabbour the plant closed for the annual maintainance.
The sources said that there are two reasons behind halting production: the large size of stocks at these companies, which hinders the production processes, and the significant decline in the demand of cars since December 2016 with an increase of the decline rates since the beginning of 2017.
Purchase rates in the automotive market have fallen under the pressure of the significant increase in car prices, which led to a freeze of the purchase process. In addition to the decline in the price of the dollar against the pound in banks, which caused the paralysis of the entire sector and raised stock levels among traders to record levels.
The recent ascent of the pound led to waiting for potential customers after the decline of car prices. The market already saw that after the companies attempted to move the market.
Ghabbour Auto recently reduced the prices of its Hyundai, Geely, and Mazda models, as well as prices of Chery cars that are being assembled in the Aboul Fotouh factories. The size of the reductions ranged between EGP 18,000 and EGP 55,000 on all models, and the sale of the locally assembled car Verna on installments was announced.
Nissan also announced a reductions in its prices, ranging between EGP 5,000 and EGP 10,000.
The table will illustrate the size of reductions offered by company models:

China Crackdown Creates These Opportunities Tencent, JD, BILI
China Crackdown Creates These Opportunities – Tencent, JD, BILI
When China said that young children may not play video games for more than three hours a week, shares of JD.com (NASDAQ:JD), Tencent (OTC:TCEHY), and Bilibili (NASDAQ:BILI) dipped. China's crackdown on the gaming industry is nothing new. Over a decade ago, the country reviewed NetEase (NASDAQ:NTES). In the years that followed, NTES stock recovered.
JD withdrew the sale of unapproved game titles to comply with China's rules. This will keep JD on good terms with the Chinese government.
Reports from the South China Morning Post that China will halt the approval of new online games will limit the upside in Tencent and BILI stock. Still, the lost revenue for gaming companies will limit China's actions. In time, the government will need to loosen the rules. The online gaming market is thriving. Eventually, China will need to let Tencent and Bilibili thrive in this space.
The government sent a clear signal on limiting the online gaming market. Gaming companies will add features that discourage gaming addiction. They may even go so far as to add an identification card or facial recognition to monitor online gaming time. The busy parents of children who play games will likely find ways to limit gaming time.
The biggest gaming companies have the resources to comply with government regulations. Tencent will thrive as smaller gaming firms cannot keep up in the coming years. Investors should watch Tencent, NetEase, and Bilibili.

(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, Feb 25 (IANS) As cybercriminals are constantly adapting and learning from the cybersecurity landscape, experts on Sunday said that given the increasing frequency and complexity of cyber incidents, Indian organisations must avoid complacency.
New technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), offer new opportunities but also give birth to new challenges. According to cybersecurity researchers, cybercriminals are constantly adapting and learning from the cybersecurity landscape, and they try to exploit these new technologies to avoid being caught or noticed.
"AI in cybersecurity is like a double-edged sword. While it offers defensive capabilities, it can also be exploited by malicious actors. Ransomware attacks show that encryption can also be used against us by attackers, which essentially means that our tools are being turned into weapons," Dr Sanjay Katkar, Joint Managing Director, Quick Heal Technologies, told IANS.
"However, several detection technologies are exclusive to cybersecurity professionals and cannot be used by hackers. They help defend critical digital infrastructure and discover anomalies," he added.
In 2023, researchers at the malware analysis lab Seqrite Labs analysed approximately 400 million malware detections from over 8.5 million endpoint installations in India.
As per the recent report by the cloud-enabled security solutions provider Barracuda Network, the average annual cost of responding to compromises exceeded $5 million.
The report also raised the alarm over hackers exploring how they can use generative AI (GenAI) technology to increase the volume, sophistication, and effectiveness of their attacks.
To counter AI-driven attacks, the experts suggested that deploying AI-based defences tailored to match evolving threat patterns is essential.
"Implementing ethical frameworks to govern AI development and cyber use cases could mitigate potential damage. Regular software updates, access isolation, and ongoing user training against evolving social engineering techniques are imperative as these attacks continue to evolve," Raj Sivaraju, President, APAC, Arete, told IANS.
"Priorities such as expanded training, security partnerships, automation, and resilience principles like zero trust are essential in maturing defensive strategies throughout 2024," he added.
The experts also noted that through urgency, collaboration, and strategic technology investments, cyber defenders can effectively confront adversary challenges for a more secure digital future.

(MENAFN- Khaleej Times) While the world has moved on from the 2015 Nepal disaster, one Dubai resident could not stop helping the child victims of the deadly earthquake.
In an effort to help their education, Asim Rai has collected more than 150 storybooks last month to donate to the lost children of Nepal.
He believes that education can also help fight against child labour, a crime that became too common after the earthquake. More than 16,000 people had died, over 20,000 were injured and thousands of people lost their homes in the earthquake.
The Nepalese resident said storybooks are a "great way" for kids to become creative and imaginative - skills that are needed in rural Nepal as many have lost hope, according to Rai.
"When I received the news that an earthquake had hit Nepal, I knew I had to help the survivors," Rai said, who works in Dubai as an art director. "I flew there and joined a group of volunteers. I also raised funds from Dubai to donate stationery kits, blankets and food to children who were continuing their studies in the tents.
"It was very important for me to keep helping the kids. Child labour is still strong in Nepal because of poverty. Though there are organisations working to end it, I wanted to do my part."
Rai collected 165 storybooks this year from Dubai. His friends and family donated books to his cause and he also received help from a library in Karama.
"Storybooks are a beautiful way to help the children be more imaginative, creative, and cultivate passion for reading. I hope to create the culture of reading and writing in Nepal as they are great tools for psychological development.
"If we provide children with effective tools, it will broaden their perspective and guide them to be global citizens. This is my third donation to the children of Nepal."

(MENAFN- AFP) Five Paris hotels on Monday launched a scheme allowing guests to "pay what you want" in an experiment that may be extended if successful.
The three- and four-star hotels taking part in the scheme are located in the city's 9th and 11th districts - a little away from the city's tourist centres. The owners are bullish about the prospects and confident that clients will not abuse the scheme.
Tourists often complain about high hotel rates in Paris and tiny rooms. France attracts more tourists than any other country in the world.
The scheme will run until August 10 and will be available only to those who have made bookings through the website (Pay what you want).
"It's a fair price operation, one of confidence in the client," said Aldric Duval, the head of the Tour d'Auvergne hotel, and the man who came up with the idea.
Guests will pay whatever they want, based on their impressions of the hotel, the room and the service.
The experiment could be extended if it works and clients don't abuse it.
Fears of cheapskate guests do not faze Si Zyad Si Hocine, the owner of one the hotels, the Grand Hotel Francais in the east of the city, who said he was confident "guests will pay a fair price".
The hotels taking part have so far only set aside two to three rooms each under the scheme.

Indian Metals Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Tuesday asked industry stakeholders to prepare a plan to increase investment that will boost steel consumption and create jobs in the country.
The Minister proposed to Industry to prepare a plan so that the state and the private sector can increase their spending, saying that this will be very useful for creating more jobs.
According to Pradhan, an increase in investment project spending will also lead to an increase in steel use.
He said that the Indian government has already announced several infrastructure projects in various sectors, including rail, road, aviation, gas pipeline and residential construction, where steel can find its use.
The minister said the industry should take steps to provide housing to migrant workers at lower prices and offer higher wages. He urged steel leaders to work with the government to provide affordable housing for migrant workers.
According to Pradhan, state governments could also allocate some of the land to build low-cost, steel-intensive homes for the poor, and this would also increase steel consumption in the country.

New Delhi, March 21 (IANS) The Enforcement Directorate (ED) said on Monday that it has attached immovable properties worth Rs 20.16 crore of Injaz International represented by its partners Misbahuddin S. and Suhail Ahmed Shariff in connection with a PMLA case.
The ED said that the accused acquired proceeds of crime and layered the same in the form of various immovable properties.
The ED initiated a PMLA probe on the basis of an FIR registered by the police against Injaz International and its associated group under various sections of the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, Indian Penal Code and Chit Funds Act.
The proceeds of crime, in this case, is Rs 80.99 crore.
The investigation by the ED revealed that Injaz International and its partners with a fraudulent intention collected funds from a large number of investors during 2015 to 2017 by projecting unrealistic returns against their investments and later duped them of such investments and never returned the hard-earned invested money of the common people.
'There was a huge diversion of funds from the bank account of Injaz International and these funds were subsequently transferred into bank accounts of partner entities for layering the proceeds of crime and were being projected as untainted properties. The immovable properties thus identified include residential flats, residential land and non-agricultural land parcels,' the ED said.

Restricting the sale of alcohol products during night-time has had an impact, according to a new study by an anti-addiction group. Keystone / Peter Schneider
A leading Swiss anti-addiction group has relaunched a proposal to introduce a ban on selling alcohol late at night.
This content was published on February 7, 2023 - 11:39 February 7, 2023 - 11:39 Keystone-SDA/SWI
Referring to a rules in two French-speaking regions of the country, the Swiss Foundation for Addiction said incidents of alcohol poisoning had decreased by up to 30% since the introduction of restrictions, notably in Geneva and Lausanne regions in 2005 and 2014.
In particular, fewer younger people had to be admitted to hospital for this reason, writes addiction switzerlandexternal link in its annual report, which was published on Tuesday.More expensive
The foundation also demands generally higher prices for alcohol and better protection for young people, also during the day.
A system with automatic presentation of an identity card is common practice in several European countries and would also be advisable in Switzerland according to the group. For online alcohol sales, a legal basis is needed to make direct scanning of the identity card the rule.
Back in 2007, the Federal Office of Public Health called for a ban on alcohol sales after 9pm in petrol stations, railway stations or take-away businesses. In 2014, the Swiss Senate also wanted to reduce alcohol sales between 10pm and 6am in shops, but the other chamber of parliament, the House of Representatives, opposed it.
However, the pressure group argues that parliament is out of touch with the public opinion. It refers to recent polls as well as a decision by one of the country's leading retail chains, Migros, which decided to remain alcohol-free.

(MENAFN- Arab Times) KUWAIT CITY, July 3: Recent spread of cyber attacks has led to the return of the use of 'Bitcoin' as means of transactions. Hackers are trying to use bitcoin for receiving ransom from the local and international companies they hack, reports Al-Rai daily quoting informed sources.
They explained that some local companies are forced to accept the conditions set by hackers for paying ransom in form of bitcoin to retrieve stolen data.
The unit price of that currency has increased within a year, reaching around KD 760, equivalent to $2550, from $640 last year.
The Union of Banks recently urged local banks to warn their customers against the use of that currency. This is happening amidst affirmation from the sources that Kuwaiti market is now active in transaction with the cryptocurrency due to wide acceptance by the youths who hope to get rich quickly. The current transactions using bitcoin are not limited to movement of suspicious money or money laundering, but also include clean money.
The cyber attacks on companies and banks have affected local, Gulf and Arab banks. Another reason cited for widespread use of bitcoin is the aggravation of crises in some regions, such that many rich people are adopting the use of different means to move money without being monitored.

(MENAFN- Morocco World News) The holy month of Ramadan will start in Morocco on Tuesday June 7, the Ministry of Endowment and Islamic Affairs said on its official website.
The Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs said in astatementthat the calculated results of the administrative Calendar show that the crescent of the month of Ramadan 1437 AH will not be sighted on the evening of Sunday, Sha'ban 29, 1437 AH corresponding to June 5 2016. Since the month of Sha'ban will complete 30 days, according to the same calculations, the first day of Ramadan will be June Tuesday June 7. Ramadan is a time when Muslims across the world fast from sunrise until sunset. The Islamic months are dated according to the Islamic lunar calendar. Because of this, determining when a month starts and when it ends is subject to either observing the crescent or relying on a method of calculations. Morocco is among the Muslim countries that rely on a local sighting of the moon by special committees, in line with the Hadith of the prophet (peace be upon Him): 'Fast when you see the crescent and break the fast when you see it; if it is not apparent, then make the month of Sha'ban thirty days.' During the Holy Month of Ramadan, Muslims around the world reach into their hearts, spending more time on personal reflection and devotion to God.

(MENAFN- DailyFX) USD/JPY Bulls Set Sights on 1998 High
That year's high of 147.65 marks the next major technical obstacle for USD/JPY. That is less than 8% from where prices were in late June. Given the recent pace of gains in the currency pair, that level may be tested in short order. A break higher would put prices at their highest in over 30 years. The 1990 high at 160.16 would then present bulls with their next key objective.
USD/JPY Monthly Chart
Chart created with TradingView
Can prices sustain such a blistering rally? The Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests that the answer is“yes.” RSI rose to a record high on the monthly timeframe, breaking above levels set in late 2014 and neutralizing the possibility for negative divergence (at least for now).
Looked at it another way however, it is noteworthy that the MACD oscillator is struggling to reach 2015 levels, despite still rising strongly. Here, the higher high in prices coincides with a lower high on the indicator, revealing negative divergence. That may be a bearish sign. Should prices fail to sustain above the 2002 high through the start of Q3, a rewind of the rapid rise over Q2 may be possible. If so, the 200-day Simple Moving Average could offer bears an enticing target.

(MENAFN) Chair Jerome Powell is entering the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting in a significantly favorable position, contrary to the grim outlook anticipated by economists just a year ago. Inflation is approaching the Fed’s target rate, the economy continues to grow healthily, consumer spending remains robust, and the unemployment rate is at a historic low.
A stark contrast to the predictions of a looming recession a year ago, when the Fed aggressively raised interest rates to combat high inflation. Many economists foresaw a potentially severe recession with widespread layoffs and increasing unemployment. Even the Fed’s own economists projected an economic downturn in 2023.
The current unexpectedly positive scenario is likely to become a focal point of heated debate in the 2024 presidential race. However, it has also left some Federal Reserve officials grappling with uncertainty. The pandemic and its aftermath disrupted their conventional frameworks for assessing the economy, making it challenging to determine the durability of the current favorable conditions.
Nathan Sheets, chief global economist at Citi and a former Fed economist, expressed skepticism, stating, “It almost feels like what we saw in the second half of last year was too good to be true. When things are too good to be true, you want to try to scratch the surface and say, how durable is this?”
Acknowledging this uncertainty, some Fed officials have voiced caution about their future decisions. In their December meeting, the 19 policymakers participating in interest-rate decisions indicated an expectation to cut the benchmark rate three times in the current year. However, the timing of these rate cuts, which would impact borrowing costs for consumers and businesses, remains uncertain. The Fed is now navigating uncharted territory, contemplating the sustainability of the unexpected economic upturn amidst a landscape reshaped by the pandemic and its lingering effects.

White house declares Menendez accusation 'serious matter' as he refuses to step down
(MENAFN) Senator Bob Menendez's latest accusation on bribery charges is a "serious matter," the White House declared on Monday as the senior senator refused requests to step down.
Representative Karine Jean-Pierre informed journalists: "We see this as a serious matter, I think. And we believe the senator stepping down from his chairmanship was obviously the right thing to do."
"As it relates to anything else, any decision that he has to make, that's certainly going to be up to him and the Senate leadership to decide. But of course, we see this as a serious matter, and I'm just going to leave it there for now," she continued.
Previously on Monday, Menendez strongly rebuffed requests from fellow Democrats to quit from Congress following he was accused for a second time past week.
Speaking to journalists in his native New Jersey, Menendez preserved his guiltlessness, declaring "prosecutors get it wrong sometimes," and emphasized that "the court of public opinion is no substitute for our revered justice system."

(MENAFN- Jordan Times) AMMAN - HRH Prince Hassan, chairman of the Royal Scientific Society (RSS), on Wednesday met with a delegation from the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), led by its CEO Sudip Parikh, over means to enhance cooperation in science to increase economic growth.
Prince Hassan offered his insights on the main, current issues of interest for science diplomats, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The prince stressed the importance of community engagement and significance of grassroots dialogue and collaboration.
Prince Hassan said that this approach recognises that local communities often hold the key to solving complex challenges.
In terms of geopolitical challenges, Prince Hassan called for the West Asia and North Africa region to play a more active role, rather than just being a disaster relief region.
He added that the shift from a reactive to proactive policy approach is significant, as it enables a more anticipatory response to challenges and opportunities, ultimately contributing to regional stability and development.
Welcoming the delegation to Jordan, HRH Princess Sumaya said she was honoured to work closely with the AAAS on many initiatives and through various international bodies and collaborations.
Parikh delivered a lecture on“Science Diplomacy and the Power of Science to Build Bridges”, to an audience of high-level academics and diplomats and students of Princess Sumaya University for Technology (PSUT).
Princess Sumaya said that science diplomacy offers mechanisms for engagement that can break down barriers and lay the foundations on what science can be deployed for the common good.
Parikh is the 19th CEO of the AAAS, an organisation founded in 1848 to advance science, engineering and innovation throughout the world for the benefit of all.
During their visit, the AAAS delegation visited a variety of scientific institutions including the Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East (SESAME), the Jordan National Metrology Institute and the Automated Chemical Laboratories as well as the Jordan Institute of Diplomacy.
The delegation also visited the PSUT and met with its president Wejdan Abu Elhaija and other members.

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) KUWAIT, Nov 7 (KUNA) -- The National Council for Culture, Arts, and Letters (NCCAL) signed Tuesday a cooperation agreement with the French Archaeological Mission to carry out archaeological surveying and excavations in Failaka Island.
NCCAL's Secretary-General Dr. Ali Al-Youha and the Director of the French-Kuwaiti Archaeological Mission Dr. Julie Bonneric at NCCAL's headquarters signed the agreement.
As per the agreement, the excavation works will concentrate on the sites of Hellenistic castle and Al-Qusor in the Kuwaiti Island, NCCAL's Secretariat-General said in a statement.
The 17-point agreement requires the French mission to follow Kuwaiti laws, including the Amiri Decree No. 1 of 1960 on archaeology, throughout their work period in the Island.
It also requires the mission to restore and renovate discovered antiques and monuments, train and prepare the Kuwaiti team taking part in the mission's operations, and submit a detailed list on all discovered items following each excavation in both sites.
The French mission is also required to submit a final study on the sites, viable for scientific publication in English language, after two years of carrying out final excavation in the Island.
Dr. Bonneric, also a member of the French Institute for the Near East, has written an important booklet for researchers and readers on all historical sites inside Failaka island, including castles, churches, and other Christian-related monuments that date back between 600 and 900 AD. (end) shd.ma

(MENAFN- The Arabian Post) |The Dodsal Group, a Dubai-based business conglomerate currently operating in countries in MENA and East Africa region and India, has struck an expansive sweep of gas resources on its onshore concession, valued at $8 billion as per current market prices, the company announced.
In July 2015, the Group had marked its first natural gas discovery in the country of 2.17 TCF in the Mambakofi and Mtini region. However, based on recent update of studies, this estimate has now been raised to 2.7 TCF with a potential upside of 3.8 TCF. In addition, Dodsal's third well at Mbuyu has encountered a large gas column, in the western side of the block, which is estimated to contain upto 5.9 TCF of gas. Studies are ongoing to establish the prospective gas resources.
Having secured oil and gas concessions from the government following a production sharing agreement signed in 2007, the Dodsal Group is currently undertaking studies for prospective gas resources to be enhanced further, which could catalyze Tanzania's position as a leader in the natural gas sector in the East Africa region. The Group has already invested US$200 million to date, and plans to invest another US$300 million in Tanzania over the next 24 months to support its exploration and production activities, including implementation of an Early Production System to bring Gas to the market.
Dr. Rajen A. Kilachand, Chairman and President of the Dodsal Group, said Tanzania has tremendous potential in the hydrocarbon sector and when efficiently leveraged, this will bring incremental economic growth by assuring timely and ready supply of clean energy.

The upcoming FIH Women's Junior World Cup in South Africa was put on hold, following the outbreak of a new coronavirus variant in South Africa. The ninth edition of the biennial tournament was to be held from December 5 to 16. The International Hockey Federation (FIH), the South African Hockey Association, and the North-West University of Potchefstroom have jointly decided to put the tournament on hold.
“The safety of everyone involved in the FIH events is an absolute priority. Additionally, many countries, including some of the participating teams, have now strongly increased their travel restrictions with South Africa, including halting flights. Therefore, it simply isn't possible to maintain this event as planned. This is hugely disappointing. An FIH Junior World Cup is so important for the development of young players,” said FIH CEO Thierry Weil in a release.
The FIH said it will“keep monitoring the situation” and make a decision about the potential staging of the tournament as soon as it will be possible to do so.
“Also, it was the first time that an FIH World Cup was due to take place on African soil. On behalf of FIH, I'd like to thank all teams for their understanding. As well as the local organizers for their great work and collaboration. FIH will keep monitoring the situation. And make a decision about the potential staging of the 2021 FIH Hockey Women's Junior World Cup. As soon as it will be possible to do so.” he added further
The new variant was first detected in South Africa this week. On Friday, the WHO said the number of cases of B.1.1.529 is increasing in almost all of South Africa's provinces. A number of countries around the world have now decided to ban or restrict travel to and from southern Africa.

It has also made an offer to the UN to send material and experts from the Swiss Humanitarian Aid Corps. This emerges from a request from National Councillor Denis de la Reussille.
The SDC does not have a presence in Libya but carries out its humanitarian work from neighboring Tunisia. Last week it said it was considering financial support for local or multilateral partners to meet the urgent needs of flood victims.
Storm Daniel hit eastern Libya on the night of September 10th to 11th, particularly Derna, a city with 100,000 inhabitants on the Mediterranean. It caused two upstream dams to break and triggered a flood. According to the latest preliminary official tally, the floods have claimed at least 3,868 lives, while thousands more people are still missing.

(MENAFN– Investor Ideas) Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) hold far more Ethereum (ETH) than Bitcoin (BTC). That’s per a bitcoincasinos.com data presentation. The site reports that 16% of ETH is still on CEXs compared to 11% of BTC. To put it into perspective, ETH holdings across exchanges stand at roughly 19.3M, while BTC’s is nearly 2.27M.
The most likely reason CEXs hold more ETH than BTC is the project itself. Ethereum has become a hub for decentralized finance (DeFi) and other applications since its launch in 2015. This means that users who want to participate in these services need to acquire ETH from different CEXs.
On the other hand, Bitcoin’s use case has long been an investable asset. So users who wish to buy it tend to store it in hardware wallets for safekeeping.
BitcoinCasinos investment expert Edith Reads also suggests ETH investors are less worried about fake assets or rehypothecation on CEXs than BTC holders. She said:“Ethereum investors are seemingly more confident in the measures that CEXs take to protect their funds and assets. That signals faith among them that is increasingly seen as lacking among the more wary Bitcoin holders.”: the full story and statistics can be found here: 16% of ethereum is still on centralized exchanges compared to btc’s 11%

(MENAFN) The British Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) has refuted claims suggesting that the unprecedented surge in car exports from the United Kingdom to Azerbaijan is tied to Russia or any efforts to circumvent sanctions. As reported by Sky News, vehicle sales to Azerbaijan experienced a remarkable spike last year, soaring by an astounding 2,000 percent compared to the preceding five years. This surge coincided with the United Kingdom's imposition of a ban on car imports exceeding EUR42,000 (USD53,300) to Russia in response to Moscow's military actions in Ukraine, coupled with restrictions on the sale of "dual-use" items to the country.
Sky News further highlighted a near-simultaneous increase in car exports from Azerbaijan to Russia during the same period, prompting speculation about potential connections between the two phenomena. However, the SMMT vehemently dismissed any such insinuations, asserting that Azerbaijan represents a thriving market in its own right and emphasizing that there is no evidence to suggest that vehicles exported to the country are destined for Russia.
In a statement, the SMMT spokesperson elucidated that the surge in United Kingdom vehicle exports to Azerbaijan, akin to similar trends observed in other global markets, can be attributed to various factors including economic growth, the introduction of new models, and pent-up consumer demand. The spokesperson's remarks sought to underscore the legitimate and independent nature of Azerbaijan's automotive market, distinct from any geopolitical considerations.
According to Sky's analysis, Azerbaijan continued its substantial imports of British-made cars, totaling USD51 million in the first month of the current year alone. This surge in exports propelled Azerbaijan into a significant position as an export destination for United Kingdom-made cars, despite not previously ranking among the top 75 export destinations.
As debates surrounding the dynamics of international trade and geopolitical influences persist, the SMMT's assertion serves to dispel speculation surrounding the surge in car exports to Azerbaijan, emphasizing the market's organic growth and resilience amidst shifting global dynamics.

The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) located in Bengaluru have
developed tiny nanobots to help with Root Canal Treatments. The
nanobots can be injected into the teeth to kill bacteria, and can
better dental treatment by killing germs deep inside dentinal
tubules, according to a release issued by the institute.
Root Canal Treatments (RCT) are a common technique which by
tooth infections are treated by removing the soft tissue that is
infected called the pulp. This is done by flushing the tooth with
antibiotics or other chemicals to kill the bacteria that has caused
Researchers at IISC have managed to create nanobots that are
made from silicon dioxide and coated with iron which can be
controlled by a device that creates a low intensity magnetic field.
This new technique and study has been published by the journal
Advanced Healthcare Materials.
The nanobots have been developed by startup Theranautilus and
the technology of the magnetic field allows for the control of the
movement of the bots. IISC has said that by manipulating the
frequency of the magnetic field, researchers were able to move
around the nanobots and get them to penetrate deep layers of the
tubules. The tweaking of the magnetic field also creates heat which
also kill bacteria nearby.
Researches in the past have also shown that such nanoparticles
can trap and move objects using light as well as swim through blood
and inside living cells which can also be used to stick strongly to
cancer cells, thereby tracking them.

shown that they are safe to use in biological tissues. We are very
close to deploying this technology in a clinical setting, which was
considered futuristic even three years ago. It is a joy to see how
