Libya Discusses Advanced Offshore Gas Compression Technology with German Firm
The National Oil Corporation (NOC) of Libya held a high-level meeting with representatives from Everllence—a German-Swiss company specialising in energy solutions and industrial gas compressors—at its headquarters in Tripoli. The discussions focused on the potential integration of Everllence's advanced offshore gas compression technology into upcoming NOC projects. The aim is to boost operational efficiency and enhance production reliability at Libya's offshore platforms. Participants also explored opportunities for technical cooperation and knowledge exchange as part of the NOC's broader efforts to modernise its infrastructure and drive sustainable transformation. These efforts align with the corporation's strategy to establish strategic partnerships with global technology leaders in the energy sector. The meeting was attended by project and maintenance supervisors from the NOC's Department of Maintenance Engineering and Minor Projects, the acting Director of Major Projects, experts from both the NOC and Everllence, and representatives from Mabruk Oil Operations and Mellitah Oil & Gas. This collaboration signals a growing focus by the Libyan energy sector on innovation and international cooperation to strengthen long-term gas production capacity and operational stability. Follow us for more on Libya's energy development and strategic partnerships. Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations. Libya's economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya's economy. The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions. The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition. Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges. Tags: Everllencegasgermanylibyanocoil

Meghan hits back at pregnancy twerking video uproar
The Duchess of Sussex has described a video of herself twerking while pregnant with Princess Lilibet as 'authentic'. The duchess, 43, faced backlash after posting the 80-second video on social media earlier this month to celebrate her daughter's fourth birthday. She claimed she performed the dance move, which involves hip-thrusting while in a squat position, to induce birth for her daughter, who is seventh in line to the British throne. The video attracted criticism online as people claimed it was inappropriate and at odds with her previous claims about wanting privacy. 'You have to be authentic' Addressing the video for the first time, the duchess said she was thankful that she could share her 'authentic' life. She told Emma Grede, a British businesswoman, in the latest episode of her Aspire Podcast: 'You have to be authentic. Did you see my Baby Mama Dance? That was four years ago. 'So it's also a really great reminder that with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life – a real, authentic, fun life – that's happening behind the scenes. I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms.'

Iran anchor was live on TV when the bombs hit. She fled as dust and debris fell
'The world is watching: targeting Iran's news agency #IRIB's office during live broadcast is a wicked act of war crime,' Baqaei wrote on X. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said the attack on the Iranian state broadcaster was the 'height of cowardice and a sign of desperation'. Videos circulating on social media show that the IRINN building, known as 'the glass building,' was still burning. There has been no official report on casualties from the incident. An anchor said on air that a few colleagues had been injured, but that their families should not be worried. Hassan Abedini, deputy director of Iran's state broadcaster, said some employees were injured in the Israeli strike, without specifying a number, the New York Times reported. Elham Abedini, another Iranian state television anchor, captured the wreckage in an Instagram livestream. Her video showed chaos as people ran and shouted amid debris. 'They are in the glass building; they are all there,' she can be heard telling a guard in uniform, referring to the channel's employees. The network said its live programs had been transferred to another studio, which resembles that of radio studios. An hour earlier, the Israeli military had issued an evacuation warning affecting up to 330,000 people in a part of central Tehran that includes the country's state TV and police headquarters, as well as three large hospitals. The IDF has issued similar evacuation warnings for civilians in parts of Gaza and Lebanon ahead of strikes. The warning came on the fourth day of the conflict, when the Israeli military claimed it had achieved air superiority above the Iranian capital and could fly over the city without facing major threats. Iran, meanwhile, announced it had launched some 100 missiles and vowed further retaliation for sweeping attacks on its military and nuclear infrastructure that have killed at least 224 people in the country since Friday. So far, 24 people have been killed in Israel and more than 500 injured, Israeli officials said, after Iran launched more than 370 missiles and hundreds of drones. On Moday, the White House announced that US President Donald Trump was abruptly leaving the G7 – a day early – as the conflict between Israel and Iran intensifies. Earlier, he declared that Tehran should be evacuated 'immediately'. Iran, meanwhile, has asked its neighbours in the Middle East to pressure Trump into pushing Israel to sign an immediate ceasefire. In return, Tehran would show flexibility in nuclear negotiations. Meanwhile, the US military has moved a large number of refueling aircraft to Europe to provide options to Trump, two U.S. officials told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity. The officials also said the US aircraft carrier Nimitz was heading to the Middle East, in what one of them said was a pre-planned deployment. The Nimitz can hold 5000 personnel and more than 60 aircraft, including fighter jets. Taken together, the deployments suggest the US is greatly strengthening its air power for potentially sustained operations as Iran and Israel trade blows in unprecedented open warfare. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in a post on X late on Monday, said he had ordered the deployment of additional defensive capabilities to the Middle East, but did not offer specifics. 'Protecting U.S. forces is our top priority and these deployments are intended to enhance our defensive posture in the region,' Hegseth said in a post on social media platform X. AirNav systems, a flight tracking website, said more than 31 U.S. Air Force refueling aircraft – primarily KC-135s and KC-46s – left the US on Sunday, heading east. It said the US military flights had landed in Europe, including at Ramstein air base in Germany and airports in the United Kingdom, Estonia, and Greece. The US officials declined to comment on the number of aircraft. The Pentagon referred Reuters to the White House, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 'The sudden eastward deployment of over two dozen US Air Force tankers is not business as usual. It's a clear signal of strategic readiness,' said Eric Schouten at Dyami Security Intelligence. 'Whether it's about supporting Israel, preparing for long-range operations, logistics is key, this move shows the US is positioning itself for rapid escalation if tensions with Iran spill over.' The Committee to Protect Journalists said it was 'appalled by Israel's bombing of Iran's state TV channel while live on air.' 'Israel's killing, with impunity, of almost 200 journalists in Gaza has emboldened it to target media elsewhere in the region,' Sara Qudah, the Middle East representative for CPJ, said in a statement. According to the U.N. and CPJ records, Israel's campaign in Gaza has killed at least 173 journalists and media workers since October 2023.
