“It’s hard to understand how it could have taken such a turn. At the same time, if we look at what has happened over Quebec, unfortunately it is a caquiste tidal wave, ”she admitted from the start on Thursday at the microphone of Antoine Robitaille on QUB radio.

The former Solidarity MP assured that she still feels a lot of anger given the CAQ mandate of the last four years, in particular the files of the Horne foundry and the health network that is collapsing in Abitibi-Témiscamingue.

In her opinion, the votes of the other parties would have collapsed and gone to the CAQ, allowing Daniel Bernard to be elected with 45.16% of the vote versus 30.94% for Ms Lessard-Therrien.

The chosen defeat raised particular concerns about the return of Mr Bernard, a former mining lobbyist.

“I find this a little worrying because Daniel Bernard was an MP for the Liberal Party of Quebec for eight years. Under his initial mandate, the first standard was negotiated for the Horne Foundry, under his mandate in 2011 the Quebec standard for arsenic was set at three nanograms,” she said.

“We’ll judge the tree by its fruit, but I’m not thrilled that all of Abitibi-Témiscamingue has just sided with the Coalition Avenir Québec. And I firmly believe in democracy where the opposition has a place,” she added.

North Korea fires ‘ballistic missile over Japan’ – making it the hermit nation’s SEVENTH projectile test in just two weeks

  • Kim Jong Un has upped the ante ahead of Kamala Harris’ visit to Asia
  • The latest launch to fall outside Japanese waters is the seventh in days
  • Pyongyang usually fires the missiles directly into the air as a hostile gesture
  • Japanese Prime Minister Kishida last week condemned the launches as “barbaric”.

North Korea fired another ballistic missile at Japan just days after residents were urged to take shelter during the first project test in five years.

The missile landed outside of Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), according to the South Korean Coast Guard.

The latest missile test is North Korea’s seventh projectile test in just two weeks, a move believed to be linked to an upcoming visit to Thailand by US Vice President Kamala Harris.

The EEZ is Japan’s protected border zone, stretching from Tokyo Bay to the islands of Izu and Ogasawara.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the launch occurred early Sunday but gave no further details on how far the weapon had flown.

The Japanese government also says North Korea may have launched a ballistic missile.

The launch, the North’s sixth round of weapons tests in two weeks, came hours after the United States and South Korea completed a fresh round of naval exercises off the east coast of the Korean peninsula.

A US aircraft carrier was involved in the exercises.

The North Korean military warned Saturday that the US deployment of the aircraft carrier near the Korean Peninsula would have a “significant negative impact” on regional security.

Japanese military drills are also set to take place in the coming days, further fueling North Korea’s saber-rattling.

Pyongyang usually fires the missiles almost directly into the air – limiting their range, allowing them to land just a short distance offshore.

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida condemned the fifth launch last week, calling North Korea’s actions “barbaric”.

He indicated that the government will continue to collect and analyze information.

Ukraines Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is losing last remaining

Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is losing last remaining external power source, Watchdog says

Latest News /

Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe, has lost its last remaining external power source as a result of renewed shelling and is now dependent on backup diesel generators, the UN nuclear watchdog said on Saturday.

The International Atomic Energy Agency said the plant’s connection to a 750-kilovolt line was cut around 1 a.m. Saturday. It cited official information from Ukraine as well as reports from IAEA experts at the site, which is held by Russian forces.

All six of the plant’s reactors are shut down, but still require power for cooling and other safety functions. Plant engineers have begun repairing the damaged power line, and the plant’s generators — not all of which are currently in use — each have enough fuel to last at least 10 days, the IAEA said.

“The resumption of shelling, which hits the facility’s only external source of energy, is extremely irresponsible,” IAEA Director-General Rafael Grossi said in a statement.

Grossi visited Kyiv on Thursday. He said he will travel to Russia soon and then make another trip to Ukraine to further his efforts to establish a “nuclear safe and secure protection zone” around the facility, which he has been campaigning for for weeks.

“This is an absolute and urgent necessity,” he said. The IAEA did not claim responsibility for the shelling.

Zaporizhia is one of four regions annexed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in violation of international law. While the nuclear power plant has been under Russian control for months, the city of the same name remains under Ukrainian control.

Putin signed a decree on Wednesday declaring that Russia would take over the plant. Ukraine’s foreign ministry called it a criminal act and said it considered Putin’s decree “null and void.” Ukraine’s state nuclear operator, Energoatom, said it will continue to operate the plant.

The bad year for chip manufacturers AMD Nvidia and Intel

The bad year for chip manufacturers AMD, Nvidia and Intel turns into a nightmare

Business News /

It’s a bad dream that slowly turned into a nightmare. And this nightmare doesn’t seem to want to end.

The year 2022 has been a painful journey for semiconductor manufacturers.

Modeled on Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Nvidia (NVDA) and Intel (INTC), who are the three main players in the sector, 2022 is a year to forget. Your ratings are in recession.

AMD currently has a market value of $94.4 billion, a decrease of at least $83 billion compared to December 31, 2021. The company’s share price has fallen 59.4% over the period.

Nvidia, once in the top 10 most valuable companies in the world, was kicked out of that club. The chipmaker now ranks 21st as its market cap has shrunk by $431 billion. In fact, as of early 2022, Nvidia’s market value was roughly $732 billion. Now it’s just $301 billion. It’s a disaster for the company’s shareholders.

Lost $725 billion

As for Intel, the market value of the group of microprocessors has shrunk from $206.3 billion in January to $105.6 billion at the last review. Intel shares fell 49% during that period.

MicronTechnology (mu) valuation fell by $44 billion to $58.4 billion in just over nine months. For its part, the company’s stock fell 43%.

Finally Qualcomm (QCOM) recorded a market value of $135.8 billion, down more than $66 billion since January. The share price fell 33%.

Collectively, the semiconductor manufacturers whose chips power nearly all of our electronics, our computers, most vehicles, and the gigantic data centers of corporations, have collectively lost more than $725 billion in market value since January.

And this stock market bloodbath will continue if we are to believe what AMD just said.

The group released preliminary results for the quarter just ended on Oct. 7. Revenue is expected to be $5.6 billion, down significantly from the original guidance of $6.7 billion “plus or minus $200 million,” the company said in a release.

While that would be a 29% increase in revenue compared to the third quarter of 2021, AMD previously said it expects a revenue jump of around 55%.

“Preliminary results reflect lower than expected customer segment revenues reflecting lower processor shipments due to a weaker than expected PC market and significant inventory corrective actions across the PC supply chain,” AMD said.

Basically, the demand for PCs has slowed down sharply, which therefore affects microprocessor manufacturers such as AMD. It also seems to indicate that PC makers are finding themselves with large inventories.

AMD is also making slightly less money from its products as margins have been squeezed. Margin before interest, taxes, expenses and other income or non-GAAP is expected to be approximately 50%. The group had hoped it would be 54%.

politics

The company explains this disappointing figure by saying that the group had to adjust its prices in view of the reduced demand for processors and tried to liquidate its inventories, especially in the graphics business.

“The PC market weakened significantly during the quarter,” said AMD Chairman and CEO Dr. Lisa Su. “While our product portfolio remains very strong, macroeconomic conditions resulted in lower than expected PC demand and a significant inventory correction across the PC supply chain.”

Like the rest of the technology companies, semiconductor manufacturers are affected by recession fears, which are preventing companies and consumers from spending. This is the result of aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve to quell inflation, which is at its highest level in over 40 years.

The sector is also suffering from the war over technology control between the United States and China. The Biden administration just issued new policies aimed at drying up Beijing’s supply of microchips used in advanced computing and military applications.

The Commerce Department has actually released two new rules preventing American manufacturers from selling their chips to blacklisted Chinese companies.

“UNTIL [Bureau of Industry and Security] Expands controls for transactions involving items for end-uses in supercomputer and semiconductor manufacturing, for example, this rule expands the scope of foreign-made items subject to licensing requirements for twenty-eight existing Entity List companies located in China The Biden administration announced that.
