In today’s interconnected financial ecosystem, institutions increasingly depend on third parties like correspondent banks, fintech partners, vendors, agents, or service providers to deliver efficient and competitive services to its customers. While these partnerships drive innovation and operational scale, they also introduce increased exposure to financial crime risks. Financial crime covers illegal acts such as money laundering, terrorist financing, fraud, bribery, corruption, and sanctions violations. Beyond eroding trust in financial markets, such crimes expose institutions to losses and threaten economic stability. To combat this, banks are required to implement strong Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter Terrorism Financing (CTF), and Counter Proliferation Financing…
NEWCASTLE, England — Barcelona manager Hansi Flick laid down the gauntlet to Marcus Rashford on Wednesday — and on Thursday, in stunning fashion, he responded as Barça opened their Champions League campaign with a 2-1 win at a raucous St. James’ Park against Newcastle United.Ahead of the match, Flick had urged Rashford to prove himself back in England. He did just that, scoring twice in the second half — the first a fine header and the second and a brilliant strike from distance, which hit the underside of the bar on the way past Nick Pope.The goals, Rashford’s first for…

João Lourenço’s nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize resonates across the continent. Angola is not a distant actor; it is a neighbour to many and a partner whose choices shape regional organisations, the Great Lakes, and vital trade corridors. The nomination letter signed by Angolan academic Afonso Botáz frames Lourenço’s record in the plain language of method, not spectacle. He praises a “firm commitment to resolving regional conflicts on the African continent, based on the ‘principle of peace,’” and says Lourenço’s diplomacy rests on “dialogue and respect for the sovereignty of other States.” Those are not decorative phrases in Africa;…

Family law in Los Angeles is a high-stakes arena where costs, timelines, and emotions often converge. The typical attorney fees in the region reflect that: experienced family or divorce lawyers in Los Angeles often charge $250 to $500 per hour, depending on experience, reputation, and case complexity. For uncontested divorces, flat fees usually range between $3,500 and $7,500, whereas contested divorces can run from $15,000 up to $30,000 or more, especially if custody, property division, or high-net-worth assets are involved. In a legal landscape marked by unpredictable expenses, clients increasingly value transparent billing, fixed-fee or step-based pricing, and tools that…
Hull KR confirmed top spot in Super League and a first League Leaders’ Shield with a nerve-shredding victory over Warrington Wolves to complete the second leg of a possible domestic treble.Willie Peters’ side have been the standout force in the competition this year but they have begun to stutter in recent weeks with the play-offs approaching. That was evident last week when they were well beaten by Wakefield, but they still knew a result of any kind here would be enough to secure first at the expense of Wigan Warriors.However, it looked as though the battle for the League Leader’s…
Jessica, 25, was working a shift at Sephora when a little girl who looked about 10 ran up to one of her colleagues, crying. “Her skin was burning,” Jessica said, “it was tomato red. She had been running around, putting every acid you can think of on the palm of her hand, then all over her face. One of our estheticians had to tend to her skin. Her parents were nowhere to be seen.”Former Sephora employee KM, 25, has her war stories too. Like the day a woman was caught shoplifting and told the security guard “she was trying to…
In 2012, a plucky, headstrong young entrepreneur crashes a startup mixer in Los Angeles, desperately trying to get their big idea off the ground. Naive and ruthlessly ambitious, they brave the skeptics, the losers, the people too good to talk to them and the people who don’t take them seriously. Eventually, inevitably, their genius – obvious, unsinkable, perhaps diabolical – collides with opportunity. Voilà! An origin story is born.Swap out the date and the city, and this would describe a pivotal scene in any number of recent movies and TV shows that take cinematic interest in the self-mythology of entrepreneurs.…
