SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) — As bitcoin reached historic highs, surpassing $100,000 for the first tim e, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele was triumphant on Thursday about his big bet on the cryptocurrency. The adoption of bitcoin — which has been legal tender in the Central American nation since 2021 — never quite matched the president’s enthusiasm, but the value of the government’s reported investment now stands at more than $600 million. Bitcoin has rallied mightily since Donald Trump’s election victory last month, exceeding the $100,000 mark on Wednesday night, just hours after the president-elect said he intends to nominate cryptocurrency advocate Paul Atkins to be the next chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Just two years ago, bitcoin’s volatile value fell below $17,000. Bitcoin fell back below the $100,000 by Thursday afternoon, sitting just above $99,000 by 3 p.m. E.T. Bukele on Thursday blamed his beleaguered political opposition for causing many Salvadorans to miss out on the bonanza. There were street protests when the Congress made bitcoin legal tender in June 2021, though that move was not the only motivation for the protesters. The tiny Central American country has long used the dollar as currency, but Bukele promised bitcoin would provide new opportunities for El Salvador’s unbanked and cut out money transfer services from the remittances Salvadorans abroad send home. The government offered $30 in bitcoin to those who signed up for digital wallets. Many did so, but quickly cashed out the cryptocurrency. “It’s important to emphasize that not only did the opposition err resoundingly with bitcoin, but rather, differently from other issues (where they have also been wrong), this time their opposition affected many,” Bukele wrote on Facebook. Bukele drew an “impressive” comment from Elon Musk on the social media platform X Thursday. El Salvador’s former Central Bank President Carlos Acevedo pointed out on Thursday that while there has been a gain, it remains an unrealized one until the government’s bitcoin is sold. That said, he credited Bukele’s administration with doing well on the bitcoin move, especially in light of Trump’s election. Acevedo said “the markets’ optimism that a Trump administration will be friendly with the markets and particularly with bitcoin” explained its sustained rally over the past month. But the cryptocurrency’s volatility was a persistent risk, he said. “The average Salvadoran doesn’t use bitcoin, but obviously there are Salvadorans with economic resources who even before had already invested in bitcoin, but it is a small group,” Acevedo said. Esteban Escamilla, a worker in a clothing store in Santa Tecla, outside the capital San Salvador, said he had cashed out the original $30 of bitcoin offered in 2021. “I don’t use bitcoin because I don’t have (money) to invest and speculate with, but I know it has gone up a lot,” he said, recognizing that he would have more money now if he had kept it in bitcoin. Josefa Torres, 45, said as she was doing her grocery shopping that she didn’t have any bitcoin either. “I took out the money and used it for household expenses,” she said. At the conclusion of meetings between the International Monetary Fund and El Salvador’s government in August, the IMF issued a statement that mentioned the country’s bitcoin holdings. “While many of the risks have not yet materialized, there is joint recognition that further efforts are needed to enhance transparency and mitigate potential fiscal and financial stability risks from the Bitcoin project,” the IMf said.The Lluís Vives school in Massanassa, which was seriously affected by the floods on October 29, was the site of the tragedy, where several workers were inside trying to repair the infrastructure. There were workers from the Tragsa company, as well as members of the Military Emergency Unit (UME), who were working on the inspection, cleaning and recovery of the building. According to reports, a 51-year-old worker was killed when the roof of the building fell. Second fatal incident in Massanassa caused by collapsed infrastructure Investigations continue as to the exact cause of the collapse on Sunday morning at the school, which can be found on Joanot Martorell Street in Massanassa. This was the scene of another tragedy where part of a walkway fell and caused the death of a 35-year-old man, injuring another in the leg and head. He was transferred to the La Fe Hospital in València, where he has been recovering. Most Read on Euro Weekly News Reports of a collapse were transferred to the Emergency Coordination Centre of the Generalitat (Regional Valencian government) of a collapse in a municiplaity of l’Horta Sud, a region heavily affected by the recent flooding and health professionals and firefighters assisted immediately at the scene. Government leaders have expressed their condolences for fatalities Government delegate in the Valencia Comminity, Pilar Bernabé, President of the Generalitat, Carlos Mazón and President have all expressed their condolences to the family and friends of the deceased man. They have also called an emergency meeting to discuss proceedings. Tension and indignation has already been fierce around the area. In the week following the flood, main leaders including the King, Sánchez and Mázon visited some of the affected towns but were heavily insulated with chants of “Murderers” and objects, and mud were thrown at the party. Towns and villages in the area resent the management of the flooding, before, during and after, insisting that many of the over 200 lives lost would have been saved with proper governing. Man killed in Massanassa “best example of public services” President Sánchez published a message of mourning for the incident on the social network ‘X’: “All my love and solidarity to the family, friends and colleagues of the worker who died this morning while carrying out cleaning tasks in a school in Massanassa affected by DANA.” He added: “I want to thank and recognize the work of all those who are dedicated, tirelessly, to the recovery tasks. His dedication and dedication are the best example of public service.”‘This is a privacy breach’: Woman says AT&T kept accidentally sending her client’s private information.

It timed in with the launch of Apple Intelligence in the UK, which is a fun and handy selection of AI-powered features for your devices. The iPhone gets updated all the time, of course – but Tim revealed why this latest upgrade is extra special. “It means that generative AI is coming to your iPhone, your iPad, and the Mac, and it’s going to be in all of the apps that you use every day, like Mail and Messages and Notes,” Tim told The Sun, speaking at one of Britain’s most iconic Apple stores.

We’ve all become photographers, and we all need to clean up some of our photos.” All you need to do is tap the Clean Up button and – as if by magic – a rogue tourist ruining your stunning holiday snap disappears into thin air. That’s great, but I don’t get the impression Tim Cook has a lot of free time for holidaying. So it’s no surprise that the Apple boss admitted one of his favourite new Apple Intelligence tricks is a time-saving feature in the Mail app. 9 The Apple boss revealed how Clean Up is a feature that everyone needs because 'we've all become photographers' Credit: Apple / The Sun 9 Tim admitted the Apple Intelligence feature that has really changed his life is email summaries Credit: The Sun 9 The Mail app's summaries feature use AI to quickly work out the main points in an email so you can quickly get the gist of a message Credit: Apple It’s busy work running a company worth nearly four trillion dollars, after all. “I get hundreds of emails a day,” Tim told us. “And so one of the things I use it for in a significant way is to summarise my emails. “With one click, you can take a very long email and summarise it into something that you can move through fairly quickly. “You can also – if you’re replying to people in Messages, as an example – it will suggest smart replies. “And you’ll be amazed at how useful these are. It’s not 100%, but it’s really, really good and it will change how you do things.” There are a few other clever tricks Tim told Sun readers they should definitely be trying out. One is called Genmoji, and it’s pretty much a dream come true for emoji fans. 9 One of the more fun Apple Intelligence features is Genmoji, which allows you to create almost any emoji that you can dream up Credit: Apple 9 Tim Cook said that the new features would 'make a profound difference in your life' Credit: The Sun 9 Image Playground lets you generate fun pictures and even insert the faces of friends and family Credit: Apple It lets you create almost any emoji that you can dream up – Tim boasted that he’d made a Christmas-themed Big Ben emoji earlier that day.

So there’s a mix of business and leisure with these features, which Tim hopes will mean there’s something for everyone. “All of these things add up to be significant,” Tim told The Sun. “I think that people are going to find, sort of like they did when we brought apps to iPhone, that it wasn’t a matter of your favourite app. “It was all of the apps that you use throughout the day. “This is now going to be the next level of iPhone.” TIM'S TOP APPLE INTELLIGENCE TRICKS TO TRY Once you've updated to Apple Intelligence, try these out...

The Sun asked him whether it’s still important to build AI tech despite public fears over the speed at which AI is progressing, worries around privacy, and even job safety. But the Apple chief – who also spoke to The Sun earlier this year about his future-gazing Apple Vision Pro headset – is convinced that AI is a good thing, generally speaking. “The reason I’m excited about it is because it improves our lives,” Tim said. “It doesn’t just change our lives, it makes them better. “And so we’ve always viewed technology as being something that should better humanity, not subtract.” He pointed out that AI has already been in Apple devices for a while now. So while it might feel like these AI upgrades are coming all at once, they’ve actually been trickling in behind the scenes for a while. 9 The Apple boss said that the company wanted to make sure its AI features would 'better humanity, not subtract from it' Credit: The Sun Importantly, some of the might even save your life. Tim points out the Apple Watch can detect atrial fibrillation, a type of irregular heart rhythm. If it’s not treated, it can lead to heart failure, blood clots, and ultimately a stroke . “Things like the watch we have: we’ve had AI powering the watch forever,” Tim told The Sun. “So if you have AFib, AI determines that on the watch and sends you a notification. “If you have a high heart rate, a low heart rate, if you run the ECG, you’re using AI. “All of these things that people didn’t know were AI have been building for a long time. “And now we have generative AI, that will take this to the next level. “But what we’re going to do is we’re going to do it thoughtfully and deliberately. “We’re going to make sure the things that we put out there better humanity, not subtract from it.” Read more on the Scottish Sun UP IN FLAMES Massive blaze rips through Scots flats as dozens of firefighters rush to scene XMAS BLOW Dozens sacked by Scots tech firm weeks before Christmas as bosses travel to Spain APPLE INTELLIGENCE – WHICH DEVICES ARE GETTING IT?

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. announced that it has decided to introduce a special incentive program to provide group employees with opportunities to acquire the company’s shares. This is aimed at enhancing MOL Group employees’ sense of participation in management and engagement by supporting the medium- to long-term asset formation. Under the program, special incentive payment for purchasing shares of MOL common share will be granted through the “MOL Employee Shareholding Association” to the members of the association. The MOL Group grants incentives to its members with the intention of helping employees build assets through the ownership of the company’s shares, and helping each individual to work with job satisfaction on a daily basis. It will further promote this concept by offering a special incentive grant equivalent to about 30 shares per person to all members who fulfill the conditions for the grant and purchase our shares on the stock market through the association. This program is designed to raise employees’ awareness of the need to participate in management and to improve their engagement with the group’s overall business. The company believes that encouraging employees who have not yet joined the association to join will help more employees to share with shareholders their awareness of medium- to long-term enhancement of corporate value. The MOL Group promotes “human capital management,” which views personnel as “capital” and maximizes its value to enhance corporate value over the medium- to long-term, and the share grant program is an initiative that will enhance human capital management and ultimately improve corporate value. (1) The MOL Group will provide special incentive payments to members. (2) Members contribute the special incentive funds to the shareholding association. (3) The shareholding association collects the special incentive funds contributed by the members and acquires the company’s shares in the market. (4) The acquired shares are allocated to and managed by the members of the shareholding association through the securities companies to which the association has entrusted its shareholding operations. In conjunction with the introduction of this program, the group will provide a special incentive payment equivalent to 30 shares for each member, and the shareholding association will use the funds to purchase the company’s shares on the market and grant them to the members. (The grant will be completed in March 2026). The recipients of the special incentive grants must be employees and members of the MOL Group as of a record date to be determined by MOL between March 2025 and February 2026. The outline of the shareholding association subject to the program is as follows (1) Name: MOL Employee Shareholding Association (2) Location: 1-1, Toranomon 2-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo (3) Chairman: Shoichi Kataoka (4) Number of shares held: 2,003,711 shares (as of September 30, 2024) (5) Percentage of shares held: 0.55% (as a percentage of the number of shares issued) This program is intended for the MOL group located in Japan. However, we are also considering initiatives to promote human capital management, as we envision it, for our group companies located overseas. The introduction of this program will have a negligible impact on the MOL Group’s consolidated business performance. Source: Mitsui O.S.K. Lines

Northwest European gasoline refining profit margins rose by around 57 cents on Friday to $7.11 in the first trading session following the two-day Christmas break, as gasoline stocks in the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) hub fell from the highest in over a year. Around 6,000 tons of Eurobob E5 barges traded. Shell and Trafigura sold to Gunvor and Mabanaft. In the Platts window, Trafigura offered a Mediterranean gasoline cargo. No buyers emerged and no trades were concluded. Gasoline inventories independently held in ARA storage fell by 1% on the week to 1.36 million tons, though remaining at their highest level in over a year, data from Dutch consultancy Insights Global showed. Gasoline cargoes arrived in ARA from the Baltics, Scandinavia and the Mediterranean, while cargoes departed for the Americas and other European regions, according to Insights Global. Meanwhile, overall EU and UK gasoline exports were set to drop in December to 942,000 bpd from 1.13 million bpd in November, according to Kpler.
