AVEVA's 2024 Sustainability Report, revealed significant progress across all three pillars of the company's sustainability framework: technology handprint, operational footprint and inclusive culture. In 2024, the company maintained its 93% reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions against its baseline year through a combination of measures including: the pivot to using renewable energy, careful management of office space and fleet optimisation. By the end of 2024, AVEVA had assessed the maturity of its entire product portfolio against the Green Software Foundation's principles, reinforcing its commitment to sustainable software development.

This empowers the industry to achieve measurable improvements in both efficiency and productivity, unlocking significant savings in costs, emissions and resource requirements. AVEVA's 2024 Sustainability Report demonstrates the strides we've made to deepen our technology handprint, reduce our operational footprint and advance our inclusive culture.'
AVEVA recognises that its biggest opportunity to make a positive climate impact is through its core products and customers. For the first time, the company has released an annual saved and avoided emissions figure, reflecting the material energy savings observed for a specific portion of its products.

Hostel opposite Cardiff's Principality Stadium that became a 'crack den' is transformed
Hostel opposite Cardiff's Principality Stadium that became a 'crack den' is transformed The Nos Da hostel is in one of Cardiff's most prominent locations overlooking the River Taff The newly transformed hostel (Image: John Myers ) A once popular Cardiff hostel that turned into a "crack den" full of used needles, human excrement and crusty mattresses has been completely transformed. Nos Da bar and hostel, as it used to be called, became plagued with issues like fly-tipping and anti-social behaviour after it closed following successive Covid-19 lockdowns. However, it will soon reopen as a bar and accommodation called On the River after having gone through an extensive clean up operation and refurbishment work. The father and son team who took it on, Mike and Michel Catris, have opened up on the huge task they had on their hands to turn the building around. Never miss a Cardiff story and sign up to our newsletter here. Father and son, Michel and Mike Catris, were behind the transformation of the old Nos Da bar and hostel which is set to reopen as On the River (Image: John Myers ) "We were walking around, there were needles all over the place, there was human excrement on the walls, there were rats," said Michel. Article continues below "It was rough. We had 42 mattresses, used mattresses that were like poppadoms that we had to get rid of. "There was graffiti all over the walls. It was like something out of... a film where they've gone into a crack den. It was massive crack den." Michel's father, Mike, said the team who had to clean up the the property after it was bought collected 14 buckets of needles. He said: "It was worse than you'd ever seen on TV." Michel added: "You were coming out of here and you were itching. It was pretty rough.

It was almost like a hazmat suit job. "We were scrubbing everything back to bear bones, getting everything to a state where we were happy bringing people in here to work on it. Nos Da became plagued with issues like littering and anti-social behaviour after it closed down (Image: Jonathan Myers ) Mike Catris said 14 buckets of needles were collected after their own clean up operation at Nos Da (Image: John Myers ) "We couldn't have brought people to work in here that weren't specialists at that stage. It would have been impossible. "We've got to remind ourselves sometimes how bad it was and actually how far we've come." The main bar area of the former Nos Da bar and hostel before it was refurbished (Image: Michel Catris ) The main bar area at On the River in Cardiff as it is now (Image: On the River ) Cardiff Council sent in their own specialist team to clean up the outdoor section of the former Nos Da hostel, which was littered with used needles and other rubbish, in 2022. The building was sold in 2023 after being going on the market for £1m. It has been a long road for it to get to where it is currently, but the new owners said they hope they can now bring some positivity to the area. On the River is situated on the River Taff and looks out onto the Principality Stadium (Image: John Myers ) Michel said: "A lot of the comments we had when we literally first started breaking ground on it was 'oh, you're not turning it flats are you?' or 'you're not turning it into a big high rise'. "I think as soon as we turned around and said... it is going to be a bar and a communal space and a cafe, they were so behind getting something off the ground because of the situation after Nos Da closed. "It's been such an eyesore and a bit of a black mark on the community." Another picture of the main bar area at On the River in Cardiff (Image: On the River ) The accommodation element of On the River, which is made up of 11 rooms for up to 32 guests in total, will be open from Saturday, June 28. They will then open the bar, initially just for Friday, July 4 and Saturday, July 5, in time for the Oasis gigs in Cardiff. The coffee shop will also open from this weekend, but it will remain open. The bar will then reopen for the Stereophonics concerts on Friday, July 11 and Saturday, July 12 and remain open thereafter. The accommodation at On the River is open from this weekend (Image: WalesOnline/Rob Browne ) It can accommodate up to 32 guests and has 11 rooms in total (Image: WalesOnline/Rob Browne ) As well as the outdoor bar for event days, the site will also be able to accommodate street food vendors. Mike and Michel said they are also exploring the possibility of having events like live music, comedy nights, quiz nights and open mic nights. During the day and quieter hours, the ambition for the site is to host running clubs, cycling clubs and dementia cafes. Mike said: "It's all well and good trying to make a killing on your weekends, but we want to feed back to the community during the week as well. During quieter hours in the day, the owners of On the River hope to run a dementia cafe from the premises (Image: On the River ) "It belongs to them as well as us." Both father and son are experienced businessmen, but neither have taken on something in the hospitality industry. Mike said: "It's still daunting. It's something I've never done before. "I'm a civil construction engineer by trade, but I've gone off as a developer into care homes and mental health units which I sold off some years ago. Mike and Michel Catris said this is the first time they've taken on something in the hospitality industry (Image: WalesOnline/Rob Browne ) "This is totally unique to anything I've done before and not something I necessarily thought I'd end up doing, but by default really we've [settled?] into it." Michel added: "It's landed on our laps a little bit. We had a previous business partner whose idea was the accommodation and the pub. "We loved the accommodation idea and he had to really convince us on the pub side of things and we've since parted ways but we were so far gone in it, we inherited that as an idea. On the River will soon be open (Image: John Myers ) "It is daunting because you see so many pubs struggling and failing [with] the economic situation the way that it is, but I think once we knew we were doing it, it was grab the bull by the horns and make it the best possible thing that we can. Article continues below "I'm a firm believer that if we make it as good as we can possibly make it then we're giving it the best possible chance of success. That's all we can do."

Michigan football's latest 2026 commits: Lee, Robinson lead CBS Sports ratings
The Wolverines have been on a recruiting heater in the past week-plus, and they're showing no signs of slowing down. Friday saw Michigan football add two commitments, with one being Honolulu (Hawaii) Kamehameha four-star offensive tackle Malakai Lee, one of the maize and blue's top overall offensive targets in the 2026 recruiting cycle. But, as CBS Sports notes, not all commitments are created equal. And the network has created a new way to evaluate pledges to determine just how impactful their additions might be. With what CBS Sports is calling a 'commitment impact score,' the network weighs the roster boost, how much momentum the commitment creates, and how much the recruit fits into a team's culture. Then, they're scored from 1-10, with a 9-10 being a 'game-changer,' a 7-8 being a 'strong add,' a 5-6 being 'solid depth,' and 1-4 being 'low impact.' Starting with the newest pledge, the aforementioned Lee, the Wolverines got what CBS Sports calls a strong add. 4-star OT Malakai Lee commits to Michigan Our eval: Strong add (8/10) Michigan's offensive line had been the gold standard during the Jim Harbaugh era and the program has recruited well enough for that to continue. The recruiting bubble seems to have popped for Michigan as several have either joined or will soon join the Wolverine's 2026 recruiting class. His potential is insane as he has good size and a verified 85 inch wingspan. But Lee committed about 10-15 minutes after another was added to the class, with Richmond (Va.) Huguenot three-star linebacker Markel Dabney flipping from SMU to Michigan football just before the announcement in Hawaii. Of course, Dabney isn't quite as highly regarded as Lee, with CBS Sports noting him as 'modest,' but it's still a good addition from the network's perspective. 3-star LB Markel Dabney flips from SMU to Michigan Our eval: Solid Depth (5/10) Markel Dabney is a modest addition, but he did flip from SMU. His official visit list is not littered with the nation's top programs, but Michigan has done well identifying and developing 3-star recruits over the years like Kris Jenkins, Mike Sainristil, DJ Turner, Mike Morris and others. The timing is good because the Virginia native is a part of a big recruiting run for the Wolverines. As CBS Sports notes, just because talent evaluators aren't all in line calling Dabney a home run doesn't mean that Michigan football won't develop him in a way that is beyond impactful. And certainly, the Wolverines are excited about Dabney's potential in Wink Martindale's system. The new scoring table also covers some other recent Michigan commitments. Offensive lineman Marky Walbridge got a score of five, solid depth, while wide receiver Zion Robinson got a nine -- 'game changer.' The Michigan wide receiver room received a significant talent upgrade with the addition of Robinson, the sixth-ranked wide receiver and No. 71 overall prospect in the 2026 class who chose the Wolverines over the likes of Miami, Nebraska and Stanford. The 6-foot-3, 180-pounder is an explosive athlete who posted multiple sub-11-second 100-meter times as a sophomore in 2024 - that same year, he won the Texas 6A state title in the high jump (6-8). This marks the second straight cycle that the Wolverines have gone into the Lone Star State to land an elite wideout (Katy Jordan's Andrew Marsh was the No. 82 overall prospect and No. 13 wide receiver in 2025). We expect Robinson and Marsh to be great targets for Bryce Underwood in the future. Four-star defensive tackle Titan Davis also was evaluated and got a score of eight, strong add.

Egyptian, French FMs stress importance of restoring Gaza ceasefire, ensuring humanitarian aid access
CAIRO, June 27 (MENA) – Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigration Badr Abdelatty and French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot stressed the urgent need to restore the ceasefire in Gaza and ensure the unhindered flow of humanitarian aid, as living conditions in the besieged Palestinian enclave continue to deteriorate. Spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry Tamim Khallaf, said that during a phone call on Thursday, the two ministers discussed recent developments in Gaza, following the ceasefire agreement between Iran and Israel. During the telephone conversation, they addressed key regional developments and explored avenues to further strengthen ties between Egypt and France. Abdelatty highlighted the genuine efforts spearheaded by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States to swiftly secure a lasting ceasefire in Gaza, underscoring the critical role of the international community in halting Israeli aggression in both Gaza and the West Bank. The ministers also addressed the issue of Palestinian state recognition, Barrot updated his Egyptian counterpart on preparations for the upcoming high-level international conference, co-chaired by France and Saudi Arabia, which aims to promote a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through the implementation of the two-state solution. Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt's firm commitment to a just and sustainable solution, grounded in the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with Al Quds (occupied East Jerusalem) as its capital. The spokesperson added that the two ministers concurred on the necessity for both Iran and Israel to fully comply with the ceasefire, stressing the importance of concrete de-escalation measures to pave the way for renewed political and diplomatic initiatives. They also commended the strategic partnership between Egypt and France, reaffirming their mutual commitment to consolidating bilateral ties in all domains. (MENA)
