Japan's largest labour union, Rengo, announced Thursday it will demand a wage hike of at least 5% in next spring's "shunto" negotiations, maintaining its 2025 target to sustain momentum against persistent inflation.The Japanese Trade Union Confederation's policy aims for an overall pay hike of 5% or higher, which includes a base-pay rise of 3% or more. The ultimate goal is to achieve a 1% real (inflation-adjusted) wage increase, a barometer of consumer purchasing power that aligns with the government's target.A key focus of the 2026 talks will be narrowing the pay gap between large and small firms. Rengo is encouraging unions at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), which employ about 70% of Japan's workforce, to demand an even higher goal of 6% or more.The confederation also said it will seek a minimum hourly wage of 1,300 yen ($8) or higher, a 50 yen increase from this year's demand.This strategy builds on significant recent gains. According to Rengo's final tally for the 2025 negotiations, Japanese firms agreed to an average wage increase of 5.25%, the second consecutive year the hike exceeded 5%. ---This aggressive wage demand from Rengo keeps significant pressure on the Bank of Japan. Markets will see this as a key driver of domestic, demand-led inflation, increasing the probability of further BOJ rate hikes in 2026. This outlook is bullish for the Japanese Yen (JPY) but could be a mixed signal for the Nikkei, as investors must weigh the benefit of stronger consumer spending against the headwind of squeezed corporate profit margins and higher borrowing costs.

Australian miner Sunrise Energy Metals has granted US defence giant Lockheed Martin a five-year option to purchase scandium oxide, a critical mineral almost exclusively supplied by China, Russia, and Ukraine.Under the agreement, Lockheed Martin has the option to buy up to 15 tonnes of scandium oxide annually over five years from Sunrise's Syerston Project. This would be subject to a final binding offtake agreement and represents about 25% of the project's planned annual production.Scandium is vital for defence, aerospace, and energy applications. Lockheed is already working with the Pentagon to develop scandium-aluminum alloys for military equipment. This article was written by Eamonn Sheridan at investinglive.com.
Norwegian banks reported losses of 930 million Norwegian crowns (US$92.7 million) related to financial fraud in 2023 and the problem has only become worse with the arrival of AI tools that automate the work of fraudsters. To increase identity protection, the Scandinavian nation is currently examining Mobai’s homomorphic encryption for protecting biometric templates used in the country’s banking industry.A spin-off of Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), the company has been working on strengthening face biometrics systems’ security for Norwegian banks since 2021. Earlier this year, the Norwegian Data Protection Authority (NDPA) published a report exploring Mobai’s technology as well as key legal and privacy challenges related to the use of technologies that protect face biometrics templates.Mobai and the NDPA presented their work at a webinar on Wednesday organized by the European Association for Biometrics (EAB).The facial biometrics company has developed the template protection technology as a strong digital face verification method that reduces the risk of identity theft of digital accounts and biometric data. Mobai is calling the biometric verification and encryption solution SALT.Homomorphic encryption allows computations to be performed on encrypted data without first having to decrypt the data. An advantage is that it allows analyzing sensitive data without compromising privacy. The technology doesn't expose data but still allows the bank to do an identity proofing in an online session using data from a national identity document such as a passport.The cryptography works in the following way: The bank collects a selfie image of a customer and the image is processed into a biometric template and encrypted. The encrypted data is used to perform a match with the ID document. The bank is the only entity that can decrypt the decision and thereby authenticate the user, explains Petter Taugbøl, vice president of business development at Mobai.“In practical terms, this means that a third party, typically a cloud provider, can process sensitive data without ever seeing the underlying data and produce results which they don't have access to either,” he says.The project is funded by the Research Council of Norway and involves electronic identity system BankID and one of Norwegian largest savings banks Sparebank1 Østlandet as industry partners. KU Leuven joined as an academic partner.An important objective has been to analyze whether new and enhanced privacy technologies could change what are acceptable methods for privacy protection, from a legal perspective, Taugbøl explains.“By transforming biometric data into encrypted templates could we kind of de-risk or reclassify biometric data in the legal sense from sensitive personal data to maybe personal data, and thereby enable the use of face recognition on a different legal basis?” he says.As a sub-vendor to the eID provider, Mobai tested its technology as part of a Regulatory Sandbox, designed for exploring issues where there are few legal precedents. The project started in May 2023, and the report launched in January of 2025.“This has been a long project, and the reasoning for that is that these kinds of projects are challenging,” says NDPA’s Special Advisor, Eirik Guldbransen.The project should solve a very real world problem. Banks usually require customers to come to physical offices where they take their photo which is then compared with an image in their national ID document.A similar solution is implemented in mobile banking where customers take a selfie image though their smartphone and then provide a scan of their passport, according to Dag-Arne Hoberg, senior project manager at Sparebank1 Østlandet.Mobai is arguing that performing biometric processing solely on devices such as personal computers or mobile phones presents security challenges. Many ID solutions confirm access to the device rather than actually identifying the physical person, adds Guldbransen.“Biometrics can be copied and stolen,” he says. “That is something that we need to acknowledge and we should acknowledge that we need to perhaps look at better solutions than we have today.”Given the computational demands of homomorphic encryption, Mobai believes that centralized processing is best for ensuring trustworthy face matching results. In contrast, a decentralized approach would leave service providers, like BankID, reliant on platform owners' security measures.Mobai and the NPDA have identified the next key questions that the agency will have to tackle: Assessing the legal status of facial images and protected templates in an AI-based solution for verification and the technical security measures for storing protected templates that would be used by the AI and facial images for training purposes. This month, the company won an additional US$1.2 million grant to research new methods for secure credential binding in digital wallets.More work also needs to be done in other areas, according to webinar participants.“The solution to fraud is complex, requiring information sharing, eID solutions, biometric technology, fraud detection systems and general increased understanding in society to prevent fraud attempts,” says Hoberg.Template protection requirements are built into the EU’s GDPR, and the topic has caught the interest of diverse parties from humanitarian organizations to research and innovation groups.

The Parties Know They're Losing, That's Why They're Redrawing Districts Authored by Lura Forcum & Brett Loyd via RealClearPolitics,Partisan affiliation in the U.S. has sharply declined over the past two decades. Today, only 28% of Americans identify with either the Republican or Democratic party, down from 34% in 2004. This drop in party loyalty helps explain the rise of the independent voter, who now make up 43% of the electorate. But just as the electorate becomes less partisan, the political system is becoming more so – thanks to recent gerrymandering in Texas, California, and potentially many more states. It’s no wonder so many Americans are walking away from the parties that have spent more energy protecting their turf than earning voters’ trust.The overlooked plurality has woken up to the absurdity of a political system that no longer serves them. But outrage alone won’t fix what’s broken. It’s time to get organized.The independent movement offers a way forward: candidates and voters who believe politics should serve the public good, not the party line. It’s a movement grounded in accountability and common sense and a coalition of voters tired of being divided and ready to reclaim a system that should have belonged to them all along.But the two parties spend more time dismissing these voters as uninformed or spoilers than they do trying to court them. And their latest tactic for maintaining control is to gerrymander districts to insulate themselves from the effects of their toxic brands.Partisan mapmakers try to “pack” as many voters of the opposing parties into districts they already control, leaving fewer opposition voters in surrounding districts. They also “crack” districts by spreading opposition voters over as wide an area as possible, making it unlikely they can form a majority anywhere. This gamesmanship reveals the two-party duopoly’s weakness. The fewer true believers each side has, the more they must rely on engineered maps instead of energized bases. And aside from being cynical, gerrymandering turns up the temperature of political acrimony in multiple ways. First, gerrymandering not only influences who wins an election, but it can also determine who runs. When district lines are drawn to guarantee one party’s victory, the real contest happens in the primary, when that party’s candidate is selected. When general elections are neck and neck, candidates play to the middle, appealing to moderates and independents, resulting in a candidate that is more balanced and appealing to voters with varying political beliefs. In primary races, on the other hand, only the most partisan voters tend to show up, rewarding candidates who play to partisan extremes instead. By making general elections a foregone conclusion, gerrymandering practices remove this check on extremism. At the same time, partisan redistricting makes many people feel powerless. Gerrymandering makes it harder for voters to give feedback to their representatives, since districts are increasingly unresponsive to voter preferences. When voters are denied responsive representation, frustration builds. For decades, dissatisfaction with the two parties has manifested as political disengagement, with fewer Americans turning out to vote than in most other developed countries. But frustration can also lead to transformative change when channeled into civic action: voting, volunteering and organizing. While we’d like to see politically homeless voters supporting independent candidates, they can also have a tremendous corrective impact on the political system by split-ticket and swing voting. When independents cast split tickets or swing their support between parties, they reclaim their right to choose political leaders who best represent their values and priorities. They vote for ideas and solutions – instead of being forced to vote according to party affiliation – while reminding candidates that they need to earn voter loyalty. Consider the great movements of America’s past, like abolition, civil rights, and women’s suffrage, which turned public discontent into lasting reform. Dissatisfaction can lead to a powerful opening once people decide that enough is enough. The independent movement’s strength lies in the very people the system tries to sideline: citizens who demand that political leaders behave with decency, who still believe in their right to say no to ineffective and unresponsive elected officials, and who believe in the American experiment. If gerrymandering is the parties’ last defense, civic engagement is the people’s first.The very act of gerrymandering is a public admission that the two parties cannot win on a level playing field. It reveals their fear of a nonpartisan electorate and their complete dependence on a rigged system. The good news for independents is that these maneuvers fuel voters’ collective frustration, providing a political opening to finally end the two-party stranglehold. From local offices to Congress, independent candidates can represent a new era of politics, one where voters choose their leaders, not the other way around.

President Donald Trump approved major disaster declarations for Alaska, Nebraska, North Dakota and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe late Wednesday, while denying requests from Vermont, Illinois and Maryland and leaving other states still waiting for answers.The decisions fell mostly along party lines, with Trump touting on social media Wednesday that he had “won BIG” in Alaska in the last three presidential elections, that he won “THREE times” in the “beautiful State of North Dakota,” and that it was his “honor” to deliver for the “incredible Patriots” of Missouri, a state he also won three times. Additionally he said Nebraska “is a special place.”The disaster declarations authorize the Federal Emergency Management Agency to support recipients with federal financial assistance to repair public infrastructure damaged by disasters and, in some cases, provide survivors money for repairs and temporary housing.While Trump has approved more disaster declarations than he’s denied this year, he has also repeatedly floated the idea of “phasing out” FEMA, saying he wants states to take more responsibility for disaster response and recovery. States already take the lead in disasters, but depend on federal assistance when the needs exceed what they can manage alone.Trump has also taken longer to approve disaster declaration requests than in any previous administration, including his first, according to an Associated Press analysis.Approvals fell mostly along party linesThe states approved for disaster declarations include Alaska, which filed an expedited request after experiencing back-to-back storms this month that wrecked coastal villages, displaced 2,000 residents and killed at least one person. Trump approved a 100% cost share of disaster-related expenses for 90 days.North Dakota and Nebraska will also receive public assistance for August severe weather, and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe in Minnesota was approved for both public and individual assistance for a June storm that felled thousands of trees across its tribal lands.Trump denied four requests, including Maryland’s appeal for reconsideration after the state was denied a disaster declaration for May flooding that severely impacted the state’s two westernmost counties.Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat, denounced the decision in a statement Thursday, calling the final denial “deeply frustrating.”“President Trump and his Administration have politicized disaster relief, and our communities are the ones who will pay the price,” said Moore. The state has been supporting impacted individuals itself, deploying over $450,000 for the first time from its State Disaster Recovery Fund.Maryland met the conditions necessary to qualify for public assistance, according to a preliminary damage assessment, but Trump, who has the final decision on the declarations, denied the state’s July request. Maryland appealed in August with further data showing the counties experienced $33.7 million in damage, according to the state, more than three times its threshold for federal assistance.Trump also denied Vermont a major disaster declaration for July 10 floods after the state waited over nine weeks for a decision. The damages far exceed what some of the small towns impacted can afford on their own, said Eric Forand, Vermont’s emergency management director.“It’s well over the annual budget or two years’ budget (of some towns), to fix those roads,” Forand said.The other denials included an application from Illinois for individual assistance for three counties impacted in July by severe storms and flooding, and one from Alaska to rebuild a public safety building that burned in a July electrical fire.Asked why the states were denied, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said, “President Trump provides a more thorough review of disaster declaration requests than any Administration has before him.” She said Trump was “ensuring American tax dollars are used appropriately and efficiently by the states to supplement — not substitute, their obligation to respond to and recover from disasters.”Assistance granted after weekslong waitSeveral states and one tribe still await decisions on their requests.Not knowing whether public assistance is coming can delay crucial projects, especially for small jurisdictions with tight budgets, and sometimes leaves survivors without any help to secure temporary housing or repair homes now too dangerous to live in.Before its approval Wednesday, the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe was straining to cover the costs of clearing thousands of trees felled across its reservation by a June thunderstorm. As a tribe, it is entitled to apply for assistance independently of the state where it is located.The tribe had spent about $1.5 million of its own funds so far, said Duane Oothoudt, emergency operations manager for the Leech Lake Police Department.The tribe was “doing a lot of juggling, using reserve funding to operate and continue paying our contractors,” Oothoudt said just hours before being notified of the disaster declaration, nine weeks after submitting the request.With federal funding approved for both public and individual assistance, Oothoudt said Thursday his one-man emergency management department would focus on helping survivors first.“There’s a lot of work to do,” he said. “People were hurt by the storm.”Associated Press writer Brian Witte in Annapolis, Maryland, contributed.
