Hong Kong will review the age threshold of elderly residents in need to better identify priority cases and prevent more tragedies from happening, the welfare chief has vowed following the latest suicide of an elderly resident. Secretary for Labour and Welfare Chris Sun Yuk-han made the pledge on Saturday after a 70-year-old man was found hanging in his flat in Lai King Estate in Kwun Tong the day before. Police said the man’s wife, 78, was found unconscious in the bedroom with her head covered..

When the US comes for Cuba, what can Vietnam do?

The Trump administration’s indictment of former Cuban president Raul Castro and sanctions on his successor, Miguel Diaz-Canel, suggest Washington now views regime change in Havana as a viable policy objective. This adds to Cuba’s mounting woes. The fall of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro in January severed the subsidised oil lifeline that had long kept the island nation afloat, plunging Cuba into its worst socio-economic crisis since the 1990s. For most countries, this is a distant problem. For...

‘Isn’t it hot?’: latex fan aims to stretch Malaysia’s conservative fashion norms

Celty arrives at a cosplay venue in Kuala Lumpur and does not look the part yet, dressed in jeans and a plain t-shirt. He finds a toilet, locks a cubicle door, transforms his looks and is ready to turn heads – dressed from head to toe in a helmet, boots, choker, corset and a glossy black latex catsuit. The Kuala Lumpur-based latex enthusiast has rehearsed the worst-case scenario in his head. If people were to stare at him or mock him for his outfit, he would leave the Anime Fest Plus event at...

Asia’s shaky food supply shudders as ‘super’ El Nino arrives

In the mist-wrapped hills of northern Thailand, where cacao trees erupt from the rich, nutrient-dense soil, three little words are spreading fear through a community of farmers. “There is no way to know for certain,” Koranut Rattanayanyong told This Week in Asia. “But it could be a total wipeout.” The weather event Koranut is dreading? A “super” El Nino. Earlier this month, the climate phenomenon officially started to form over the Pacific, with a bloom of ocean heat running 2.5 degrees Celsius.

Solar Is the Cheapest Power in History, But States Are Retreating From It

A high-stakes push-and-pull is taking place in the United States clean energy sector as state-level laws, federal-level policy, and that infamous invisible hand all tug in different directions. A staggering amount of different legal actions on the part of the Trump administration, the judicial system, and state politicians have created an incredibly complex landscape for clean energy adoption across the country. And while the economics of renewables are looking better than ever, the political po

Why Lunar Helium-3 Mining Still Can't Compete With Earth

When it comes to Helium-3, the biggest cost divide is between Earth and the Moon. Potential sources range from tritium decay and terrestrial helium wells on Earth to lunar regolith on the Moon. Today, Earth-based sources remain far easier and cheaper to access. This graphic, created by Visual Capitalist's Cody Good in partnership with Pulsar Helium, compares major potential sources of Helium-3 by cost, scalability, and accessibility.

The Real Reason BP Is Retreating From the North Sea

BP is still considering a sale of all or part of its UK upstream portfolio, which could fetch around £2 billion ($2.7 billion), though talks of a sale to Ithaca Energy fell through earlier this month, according to reports by Bloomberg and the Financial Times. We think the information is credible. A sale would fit the group’s strategic direction, and the company is an outlier in the UK, where other majors have either sold down or formed joint ventures. At the same time, BP has been pushing aggres

Israel and Hezbollah Truce Gives Oil Markets a Reason to Pause

The Middle East's latest peace deal just got a peace deal of its own. Israel and Hezbollah agreed Friday to halt fighting in southern Lebanon after days of escalating clashes threatened to derail the fragile US-Iran peace process, reducing the risk that the first major test of the U.S.-Iran agreement would turn into its first major failure. Negotiations between Washington and Tehran are supposed to begin under a 60-day framework agreement designed to end the war, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and

Russia Is Rationing Fuel in Moscow After Drone Strikes

Russia, one of the world's largest oil producers and exporters, is now rationing gasoline in its own capital. After months of increasingly successful Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil infrastructure, gasoline shortages have emerged in Moscow, forcing major fuel retailers to limit sales while authorities scramble to keep supplies flowing. The shortages follow repeated attacks on refineries and fuel infrastructure that have steadily chipped away at Russia's refining system. The latest blow ca

Kuwait expects to raise its oil production to 2 million barrels per day (bpd) within a week, up from an average of 573,000 bpd in May, amid the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. This estimate was given by Sheikh Nawaf Saud Al-Sabah, deputy chairman and CEO of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC), to Kuwait News Agency, before the collapse of the talks between the U.S. and Iran on Friday. “Prewar production levels could be restored within weeks once regular international commercial shipping to Kuw

Why Oil Prices Are Falling Even as Tankers Remain Trapped

Oil prices tumble as markets bet on a Hormuz reopening despite slow tanker movements following the U.S.-Iran ceasefire. Friday, June 19, 2026 The signing of the US-Iran ceasefire agreement might provide a 60-day evacuation window for all crude tankers stuck since March in the Gulf; however, up until now, the pace of outflows has been surprisingly low. With the Israel-Lebanon issue hanging by a thread, Iran has tried to reassert its authority over Hormuz in the first days since Trump’s signing of

Ukraine drone strike brings war to streets of Moscow: ‘this is the new reality’

In the Moscow district of Maryino on Friday, shopkeeper Andrei Kondratyev braced for more Ukrainian attacks and possible petrol shortages, saying Russians needed to “get used to” a new reality. A day earlier, Kyiv set an oil refinery ablaze in the nearby Kapotnya area in its biggest drone attack on Moscow in years, engulfing the Russian capital in smoke. Such scenes were unthinkable when Moscow launched its full-scale offensive against Ukraine in 2022, but have in recent months become part of...

Is dated brent a good long term hold instead of a normal brent crude ETF?

Tried to repost from r/oil but couldn’t, hence new post… In the last few months we all saw the disconnect with futures and the real price of oil ("dated brent"). The gap nearly reached $40 per barrel...this is bound to happen again at some point no? My wisdomtree oil ETF has not performed as well as it should have (in reality) because it only tracks brent crude futures or an index that does something similar. My brain tells me a SPOT crude oil / dated brent ETF would be far better as it wouldnt
