UNITED NATIONS — A U.S.-brokered ceasefire in Sudan appears to be partially holding but there is no sign the warring parties are ready to seriously negotiate, the U.N. special envoy on Sudan said on Tuesday. This suggested 'that both think that securing a military victory over the other is possible,' envoy Volker Perthes told the U.N. Security Council. 'This is a miscalculation.' Fighting broke out between the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on April 15. Both parties agreed to a 72-hour ceasefire beginning on Tuesday after negotiations mediated by the United States and Saudi Arabia.

KUALA LUMPUR: While Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has voiced his grave concern for the adverse impacts of climate change, Malaysia must ensure its very own National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) materialises and executes well. Alliance For A Safe Community chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said the NETR encompassed ambitious plans tackling the balance between environmental impact, commercial feasibility and social inclusion. He said it also delves into the financial mechanisms required to make this transition viable for businesses, emphasising the need for a mix of debt and equity financing.

An international team of scientists have discovered a huge spike in radiocarbon levels 14,300 years ago by analysing ancient tree-rings found in the French Alps. The radiocarbon spike was caused by a massive solar storm, the biggest ever identified.  A similar solar storm today would be catastrophic for modern technological society – potentially wiping out telecommunications and satellite systems, causing massive electricity grid blackouts, and costing us billions of pounds.  The academics are warning of the importance of understanding such storms to protect our global communications and energy infrastructure for the future.

Berlin, Germany : Berlin appointed its first conservative mayor in more than two decades on Thursday (Friday in Manila) after the Christian Democrats (CDU) unseated the ruling left-wing coalition. Kai Wegner, 50, a former insurance salesman who grew up in the city's Spandau neighborhood, was sworn in as mayor after a vote in the local parliament confirming his appointment. But celebrations were dampened by speculation that he may have been formally elected in the secret ballot with the help of the far-right AfD.

We're going back to the future with commercial Linux. In case you missed it, Red Hat apparently got tired of companies masquerading as communities, building Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) clones through CentOS code and giving nothing back, not a line of code nor a penny. Some have called it freeloading. I called it  a bad idea  for enterprises to cut off cash to the company they ultimately depend upon to deliver enterprise Linux. In the wake of Red Hat's decision, a range of Linux vendors are trying to capitalise on the alleged dissatisfaction with Red Hat's mood.
