Morocco achieves top IAEA assurance for peaceful nuclear use
For the first time, Morocco has received the highest level of assurance from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that its nuclear materials are used exclusively for peaceful purposes, the country's nuclear regulator announced on Tuesday.
The IAEA's 2024 annual safeguards report granted Morocco an expanded conclusion, confirming the absence of undeclared nuclear activities, the Moroccan Agency for Nuclear and Radiological Safety and Security (AMSSNuR) stated in a press release.
This designation reflects Morocco's strong commitment to non-proliferation and follows years of IAEA inspections under its Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement and Additional Protocol, ratified in 1975 and 2011 respectively. The agency conducts thorough verification of nuclear facilities, materials, and related sites to ensure compliance.
AMSSNuR credited this milestone to enhanced regulatory oversight and close cooperation with the IAEA, highlighting Morocco's dedication to nuclear transparency.

Eve Air Mobility and Revo Accelerate Urban Air Mobility with $250M Contract
A fleet of up to 50 aircraft and aftermarket services is poised to revolutionize urban transport across Revo's key markets. PARIS, June 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Eve Air Mobility ("Eve") (NYSE: EVEX) (NYSE: EVEXW) has signed its first binding framework agreement with Revo, an advanced urban air mobility (UAM) operator headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, and its parent company, Omni Helicopters International SA (OHI). The contract includes the purchase of up to 50 electric Vertical Takeoff and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, associated entry into service and aftermarket services. This milestone marks Eve's transition from development to execution, solidifying its position as a leading provider of next-generation UAM solutions. "This binding agreement with Revo and OHI is a pivotal step for Eve, demonstrating growing market confidence in our technology and operational model," said Johann Bordais, CEO of Eve Air Mobility. "By moving from concept to implementation, we are not only advancing our commercial roadmap but also helping to shape a robust and sustainable UAM ecosystem, setting a global benchmark for eVTOL deployment." The agreement represents Eve's commitment to Revo & OHI, encompassing eVTOL aircraft and comprehensive aftermarket support through Eve's TechCare package. Revo will become the launch operator for Eve's eVTOLs in São Paulo, with first delivery planned for fourth quarter of 2027 one of the world's most dynamic and advanced markets for aerial mobility, São Paulo has over 400 registered helicopters and nearly 2,000 daily takeoffs and landings. "Our decision to partner with Eve Air Mobility was clear, rooted in their mature design, comprehensive support ecosystem, and Embraer's unparalleled aerospace heritage," said Revo CEO Joao Welsh. "These eVTOL aircraft will be the cornerstone of our ambitious plan to revolutionize Revo's high touch mobility service, offering a safe sustainable, and scalable business that will connect communities and redefine convenience." Revo, wholly owned by OHI, currently operates a door-to-door mobility solution, integrating car and luggage services with scheduled helicopter service connecting key locations in southeast Brazil. These include daily flights between Zona Sul and GRU International Airport, a route that typically takes 1.5 to 3 hours by car but can be completed in just 10 minutes by air. With Eve's eVTOLs, these operations will become fully electric and sustainable, delivering a superior customer experience, and supporting the city's goals for greener transportation. "Adding up to 50 of Eve Air Mobility's eVTOLs to our fleet furthers our diversification journey and leadership in the low altitude economy," said Jeremy Akel, Group CEO, Omni Helicopters International. "Our partnership with Eve is evidence of our shared vision to bring to life revolutionary mobility ideas that transform how people move within cities." This binding proposal builds on the strategic collaboration between Eve, OHI, and Revo, which includes previous agreements for aircraft, service solutions, and successful simulations of urban air traffic management using Eve's Vector software. The agreement also provides access to Eve TechCare, an all-in-one suite of operational support designed to streamline eVTOL operations and maximize fleet performance. "Our eVTOL is designed to seamlessly integrate into existing transportation networks, providing operators with a vital link to complete their passengers' journey," said Megha Bhatia, CCO at Eve Air Mobility. "Our aircraft enables Revo and operators to provide the last mile of service, such as airport shuttles to and from the city, in a fraction of the time. A safe, efficient, and innovative option that enhances connectivity and reimagines urban air mobility for operators and their customers."

My ‘Nozempic' diet helped me shed 12st after cruel bullies told me I'd be pretty if I wasn't so fat
Sarah Jane went from a size 28 to a size 10 by following five simple lifestyle rules - here's how she managed to beat her sweet tooth FAT HACKS My 'Nozempic' diet helped me shed 12st after cruel bullies told me I'd be pretty if I wasn't so fat Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WEIGHING in at 21st, food addict Sarah Jane Clark scoffed chocolate buttons for breakfast, and washed them down with a Coca-Cola. Cruel bullies taunted her with jibes about her size, while doctors warned she was eating herself to death and wouldn't live to see her 40th birthday. Shocked, the now 53-year-old took action and today the slender size 10 fitness guru tells Sun Health it wasn't weight loss jabs that saw her shed 12st. 8 Sarah Jane Clark lost more than 12st without jabs like Ozempic Credit: Sarah Jane Clark 8 She made some simple lifestyle tweaks which she says anyone can do Credit: Sarah Jane Clark Growing up, Sarah Jane, from Swindon, Wiltshire, was always self-conscious about her weight. 'I got all sorts of comments like: 'Oh you'll always be a big girl, it runs in the family',' she tells Sun Health. 'At school I was a curvy size 14, horrendous damage was done. One lad, aged 13, told me: 'You'd be a really pretty girl if you weren't fat'. 'I wouldn't buy skirts because someone said to me once: 'Your legs are like rugby players' legs, like tree trunks'. 'That stuck in my head for years and years and years. It was in my subconscious.' As a teenager, Sarah Jane suffered from severe acne and her hair was 'greasy and lank'. She was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) then her periods stopped and she was told she had high blood pressure and a high heart rate. 'I also ached from head to toe and I had chronic fatigue and brain fog,' the mum-of-two adds. Despite wanting to change, Sarah Jane felt completely addicted to food. By 14, she had tried The Cambridge Diet, a very low-calorie plan designed for rapid weight loss which involved drinking three shakes a day, but she would always end up bingeing. I LOVE my new 'Ozempic face' - it looks like I got jawline filler, I look 10 years younger AND I lost 60lbs 'There was no amount of sugary food that was too much - it was like a drug,' Sarah Jane says. 'I was absolutely addicted to sugar. I think this stemmed from childhood; my mum was really wonderful but was not affectionate at all. 'Her love language was baking and cooking, things like biscuits and cakes, and my gran was exactly the same. 'It was always sweet foods filled with jam, and always biscuits.' As she got older, Sarah Jane would start each day with a large bag of Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons and a can of Coca-Cola. At lunchtime, she would tuck into a sandwich, with a packet of crisps, biscuits and cake. And for dinner, she would have a ready meal or takeaway. You can't just inject yourself with Ozempic and love yourself. I understand the desperation and would have ripped someone's arm off for a weight loss jab back in the day, but it is not the answer Sarah Jane Clark Sarah Jane would only drink full-sugar coke, coffee with milk and two sugars, and cups of tea accompanied by endless packets of biscuits. This highly processed, high sugar diet took its toll on her body, but also her mental health. 'I remember once in a restaurant, a group of lads pointed over to me, calling me 'the Hulk' and giggling,' she says. 'I worked in a hair salon at the time and my colleagues would arrange nights out and I wouldn't be invited. 'I would find out afterwards and they'd say: 'Oh we didn't think you'd want to come, it wouldn't be your thing'. 'But I knew that it was because they didn't want to be seen with me. I wasn't stupid.' 8 Sarah Jane, from Wiltshire, previously weighed 21st and was miserable Credit: Sarah Jane Clark 8 She is now super fit and happier than ever Credit: Sarah Jane Clark 8 Doctors had previously told her: 'You're eating yourself to death' Credit: Sarah Jane Clark Sarah Jane then worked with a consultant psychiatrist who said sugar was as addictive as cocaine. She was 'really pleased' to have an explanation as to why she couldn't stop eating, but it didn't help her quit junk food. Eventually in her mid-20s, when she was a size 28 and her periods had stopped due to her weight, she got the wake-up call she needed. 'Doctors told me: 'You are eating yourself to death. You won't make it to 40',' she says. Sarah Jane, then 25, began to make small changes, starting by simply walking for 30 minutes every day and drinking more water. She then banned takeaways and processed or unhealthy foods, and she lost 7st in 16 months. At 27, she gave birth to her daughter Chloe, now 27, and was then 18st - having lost 4st through walking and eating a healthier diet. A year later she had her son Jack, now 26, and was 15st 8lbs after giving birth. 'My body continues to amaze me' 'I hadn't really been on a diet, I just changed one thing a step at a time,' she says. 'But the healthier I became, the healthier I wanted to be. It just felt amazing.' Sarah Jane, previously an administrative assistant at a mental health hospital and now founder of Step By Step With Sarah Jane, went on to take up running and weight training at the gym. Despite being told she wouldn't see 40, she ran Cancer Research UK's 5km Race for Life for her 40th birthday, weighing 12st. She has now completed 50 half marathons and run the London Marathon twice, and stabilised at a trim 9st 10lb for the last five years. 'My body continues to amaze me. I love a healthy lifestyle,' she says. Sarah Jane's weight loss rules Walk for at least 20 to 30 minutes a day Increase your water intake Cut takeaways and processed foods - if a food has more than five ingredients, don't eat it Find a form of exercise you actually enjoy (e.g. running or weight training) Avoid weight loss jabs As well as losing weight, Sarah Jane found love. After splitting from her previous partner aged 28, she met and fell for Paul Flounders, 53, in 2021 and they married in 2024. 'I met Paul through our love of running and that's made a massive difference,' Sarah Jane says. 'When I told him about my weight loss journey, he said I was amazing. Because I didn't feel like that about myself I couldn't believe he would think that about me. 'He is an incredible man who has served in the forces, been all around the world and he thinks little old me is amazing, so we are a really good combination for each other.' 8 Sarah Jane started walking 30 minutes a day, drinking more water and banning processed foods Credit: SWNS 8 Sarah used to have chocolate and Coca-Cola for breakfast Credit: Sarah Jane Clark 8 She doesn't think weight loss jabs like Ozempic are the right way to slim down Credit: SWNS She hopes sharing her story will show others that anyone can turn their life around. 'Educate yourself about what you are eating and read the ingredients,' she says. 'If the food has more than five ingredients, don't eat it. 'Take food back to basics and move your body every day - a 20-minute walk daily will make you so much fitter.' And to women turning to weight loss jabs like Ozempic, she adds: 'People don't understand that food is highly emotional - a lot of women are eating their feelings so food addiction is massive. 'You can't just inject yourself and love yourself. 'I understand the desperation and would have ripped someone's arm off for a weight loss jab back in the day, but it is not the answer. 'You need to look at the psychological reasons for food addiction. 'I see people on jabs still eating crap food. I don't think it is the miracle people think it is.'
