Fragility of Congo–rebel peace deal exposed as both sides trade accusations
The Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) eastern region has seen a resurgence of tensions after the Congolese army accused the M23 rebel group on Tuesday of carrying out several attacks despite existing peace accords. The Democratic Republic of Congo's eastern region is experiencing renewed unrest involving the M23 rebel group despite existing peace negotiations. Both the Congolese army and the M23 group accuse one another of violating agreements and mobilizing forces, exacerbating tensions. Peace negotiations mediated in Washington and Doha face delays, with scheduled discussions and agreements unmet. To highlight the fragility of the current mediation process, Congo's army issued a warning that it reserved the right to respond to any further provocations. The army's statement claims that the attacks violate agreements negotiated in Washington and Doha to put an end to the long-running strife in the mineral-rich area. A day prior, M23 had accused Congolese forces of inciting more soldiers and breaking a statement of principles made in Doha on July 19 that promised support for a lasting truce, as reported by Reuters. The torrent of allegations comes as peace negotiations, which were supposed to start in Doha last week, face prolonged delays. Under the July 19 proclamation, both parties agreed to begin discussions on August 8 and reach a final agreement by August 18. However, neither delegation is currently present in Doha. M23 commander Bertrand Bisimwa alleged last week that the rebel faction had not received an official invitation to the negotiations. The organization also accused the Congolese army of mobilizing troops and military weapons in six different sites, indicating a potential escalation. Peace talks between the DRC and the M23 rebels The latest developments follow a series of diplomatic interventions aimed at resolving the crisis. On July 31, Rwanda, which has been accused of backing the M23 rebels, and the DRC held their first Joint Oversight Committee meeting in Washington, a direct result of mediation efforts by Qatar and the US. Earlier in March, Qatar hosted a new round of negotiations after DRC President Félix Tshisekedi attended a joint conference of Eastern and Southern African leaders in Tanzania in February, convened in response to escalating violence. The Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the East African Community (EAC) have attempted to mediate the conflict by appointing African leaders such as former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta, former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, and former Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn to lead peace efforts.

Vince McMahon featured in trailer for Hulk Hogan TV special
Since Vince McMahon resigned from all of his roles at TKO and WWE in the wake of former girlfriend Janel Grant's alleging in an ongoing civil lawsuit that he abused and trafficked her, he's only appeared in public a handful of times. The novelty of those appearances has made them items of interest, especially for pro wrestling fans online. Which is the main reason we're sharing this trailer for the TMZ-produced special on Hulk Hogan which is airing on FOX tonight (Aug. 12) at 8 p.m. Eastern. In it, McMahon — who has denied all of Grant's allegations as he and WWE contest her suit — sits for an interview. He's apparently at the offices of his new private investment firm 14th & I. The 79-year-old appears along with Sylvester Stallone, Goldberg, Mark Henry, Charlotte Flair and TMZ's Harvey Levin. After Levin covers Hogan being booed in his final appearance on Raw back in January, the clip is edited so that we hear McMahon say, 'I was angry. He deserved much more.' Here's the trailer for TMZ Presents: The Real Hulk Hogan, shared by one of the special's producers: The last recorded interviews with Vince were done in 2021, and filmed for Netflix's Mr. McMahon docuseries. Hogan died last month at age 71. McMahon memorialized him in a social media statement shortly after the most famous pro wrestler of all-time died on July 24. Solve the daily Crossword

Air Industries Group Announces Date for Q2 2025 Earnings Release
BAY SHORE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Air Industries Group ('Air Industries') (NYSE American: AIRI), a leading manufacturer of precision components and assemblies for large aerospace and defense prime contractors, today announced that it will release its Financial Results for the Three and Six Months ended June 30, 2025 on Thursday, August 14 th, 2025 pre-market at 7:00 am Eastern. Investor Conference Call The company will host an Earnings Conference Call on Thursday, August 14 th at 4:30 pm Eastern. Conference Toll-Free Number 877–524–8416 ABOUT AIR INDUSTRIES GROUP Air Industries Group is a leading manufacturer of precision components and assemblies for large aerospace and defense prime contractors. Its products include landing gears, flight controls, engine mounts and components for aircraft jet engines, ground turbines and other complex machines. Whether it is a small individual component or complete assembly, its high quality and extremely reliable products are used in mission critical operations that are essential for the safety of military personnel and civilians. FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain matters discussed in this press release are 'forward-looking statements' intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, the Company's statements regarding trends in the marketplace, future revenues, earnings and Adjusted EBITDA, the ability to realize firm backlog and projected backlog, cost cutting measures, potential future results and acquisitions, are examples of such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the timing of projects due to variability in size, scope and duration, the inherent discrepancy in actual results from estimates, projections and forecasts made by management, regulatory delays, changes in government funding and budgets, and other factors, including general economic conditions, not within the Company's control. The factors discussed herein and expressed from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission could cause actual results and developments to be materially different from those expressed in or implied by such statements. The forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this press release and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update such forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC, as a supplemental profitability measure because management finds it useful to understand and evaluate results, excluding the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, stock based compensation expenses, and nonrecurring expenses and outlays, prior to consideration of the impact of other potential sources and uses of cash, such as working capital items. This calculation may differ in method of calculation from similarly titled measures used by other companies and may be different than the EBITDA calculation used by our lenders for purposes of determining compliance with our financial covenants. This Non-GAAP measure may have limitations when understanding performance as it excludes the financial impact of transactions such as interest expense necessary to conduct the Company's business and therefore are not intended to be an alternative to financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company has not quantitatively reconciled its forward looking Adjusted EBITDA target to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because items such as amortization of stock-based compensation and interest expense, which are specific items that impact these measures, have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control, or cannot be predicted. For example, quantification of stock-based compensation is not possible as it requires inputs such as future grants and stock prices which are not currently ascertainable.
