Israel Receives 14 US Military Cargo Planes Amid Rising Iran Tensions
H-Tayea The Israeli Ministry of Defense confirmed the arrival of 14 US military cargo planes carrying defense equipment, as part of an ongoing American airlift aimed at reinforcing Israel's military capabilities. The ministry stated that the air bridge remains active, with additional American military aircraft expected to land in the coming days. The shipments come amid heightened regional tensions and fears of a potential Iranian response. According to CNN, US officials described the moves as precautionary, taken in anticipation of possible Iranian attacks on American interests should Washington participate in any military operation against Tehran. The network reported that the US military has taken multiple steps to protect its assets and personnel across the Middle East. Sources told CNN that US Central Command (CENTCOM) has stockpiled supplies at key bases across the region and relocated all unprotected aircraft from a base in Qatar. Additionally, US naval vessels have been repositioned from their base in Bahrain. The report also cited sources saying that US President Donald Trump was briefed on the potential risks and benefits of targeting Iran's highly fortified Fordow nuclear facility read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Amazon says it will reduce its workforce as AI replaces human employees
Amazon is warning its employees that artificial intelligence will help the company have a smaller workforce in the future. In a blog post Tuesday that was sent out earlier to employees, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said that efficiency gains from AI would allow the company to eventually have a reduced human workforce. 'As we roll out more Generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done. We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs,' he wrote. 'It's hard to know exactly where this nets out over time, but in the next few years, we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce as we get efficiency gains from using AI extensively across the company,' he continued. Al won't just effect change at Amazon, Jassy said. AI 'will change how we all work and live,' including 'billions' of AI agents 'across every company and in every imaginable field.'However, much of this remains speculative. 'Many of these agents have yet to be built, but make no mistake, they're coming, and coming fast,' Jassy said. He urged employees to view AI as 'teammates we can call on at various stages of our work, and that will get wiser and more helpful with more experience.' Jassy's message follows increased warnings within the tech industry over AI's effect on white collar jobs. In May, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned on CNN that the technology will spike unemployment sooner than unprepared political leaders and businesses expect. AI, including tools Anthropic itself is building, could eliminate half of entry-level, white-collar jobs and boost unemployment to as much as 20% in the next one to five years, he told Axios. Critics say these warnings aren't based off much research or evidence and are coming from the people who are poised to profit the most from AI adoption. Daniel Zhao, lead economist and senior manager on Glassdoor's economic research team, fully expects that AI will have a significant impact on the economy and how people work. But how much of an effect it's having on hiring and jobs currently is hard to tease out, he said. 'The economy and the job market have slowed, and it makes it difficult to disentangle how much of that is being driven by AI,' he said, adding that the recent slowdown in hiring activity is likely driven by economic uncertainty CNN's Alicia Wallace contributed to this report.

University of Birmingham Dubai students win fifth edition of the ADNOC-Bloomberg Trading Challenge - Middle East Business News and Information
Students from University of Birmingham Dubai have won the 2025 edition of the ADNOC-Bloomberg Trading Challenge, marking the fifth edition of the unique commodities-focused competition designed to help students in the UAE showcase their skills in data analytics and trading. Sittie Rania Guinomla and Malishka Kaur Bhasin from 'Fortune Traders' team were named the winners for their strategy, which which stood out for its disciplined 'hold and watch' investment approach. The winners are eligible for training placements with ADNOC Global Trading. The challenge forms part of the ADNOC-Bloomberg for Education Initiative, a long-term collaboration between ADNOC, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and Bloomberg aimed at supporting the UAE's next generation of graduates. Over the years, it has become a key platform for students from competing universities to gain hands-on experience using Bloomberg Terminals, guided by Bloomberg analysts from various sectors. Throughout the challenge, teams from participating universities simulate analyst workflows and develop commodities trading strategies, which they present as a research report to a jury of financial sector experts. Saif Al Falahi, ADNOC Director of Group Business Support & Special Tasks, said: 'We warmly congratulate the winners of this year's ADNOC-Bloomberg Trading Challenge on their exceptional performance in a competition that we are proud to have championed since its launch. The challenge offers a valuable platform for the next generation of UAE trading professionals to build the skills and hands-on experience needed to lead the fast-evolving world of global energy trading and drive the UAE's continued economic success.' In 2025, more than 450 students from nine universities took part in the challenge. Five teams were shortlisted as finalists, each presenting their approach to trading. David Massias, Head of Market Specialists – Middle East & Africa, Bloomberg LP said: 'What stands out most to me is how collaborative and committed these students are. They come in eager to learn and they leave with a real understanding of how to work with data, how to think critically, and perhaps most importantly, how to make informed decisions. This year's teams were impressive, and it's great to see such consistently strong talent in the UAE, especially at a time when the country is investing so much in innovation and digital skills.' Launched in 2019 following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between ADNOC, Bloomberg, and the Ministry of Education, the initiative was created to equip future generations of UAE students with the financial skills needed to thrive in today's dynamic and globally connected world. Since then, it has continued to grow in scale and impact, supporting over 9,000 students and installing 100 Bloomberg Terminals across five of the UAE's leading universities: Khalifa University, Abu Dhabi University, UAE University, New York University Abu Dhabi, and the Higher Colleges of Technology.
