Finance expert Henry C. Johnston debunks rumors about a supposed U.S.-Saudi oil contract expiring, which some claimed would spell the end of the petrodollar system. Instead, he explains that the real shift is happening due to new economic alliances among BRICS nations, especially China, Russia, and India, who are trading oil using their own currencies. Johnston suggests these rumors might be pushing for more yuan-based oil trades with China offering advanced tech in return. Meanwhile, U.S. sanctions are intensifying currency battles, with the yuan maintaining its value against the ruble despite pressure.

France's far right was on Sunday eyeing a historic chance to form a government and claim the post of prime minister after winning the first round of legislative elections with the centrist forces of President Emmanuel Macron coming in only third. But it remained unclear if the far-right National Rally (RN) party of Marine Le Pen would win the absolute majority of seats in the new National Assembly in the July 7 second round. That is what it would need to be certain of taking power and for Le Pen's protege Jordan Bardella, 28, to become prime minister. Macron had stunned the nation and baffled even some allies by calling snap polls after the RN trounced his centrist forces in European Parliament elections this month. But that gamble risks backfiring, with Macron's alliance now expected to win a far smaller minority contingent in parliament. That would make the president a far less powerful figure for the remaining three years of his term. Projections from prominent French polling firms gave the RN 33.2-33.5 percent of the vote, compared to 28.1-28.5 percent for the left-wing New Popular Front alliance, and 21.0-22.1 percent for Macron's centrist camp. The polling agencies projected this would give the RN a majority of seats in the 577-seat National Assembly after the second round. But it was far from clear the party would garner the 289 seats needed for an absolute majority. The projections varied sharply, with Ipsos forecasting 230-280 seats, Ifop 240-270 and Elabe the only organisation to put it in the range of an absolute majority on 260-310 seats. In a statement, Macron called for a «broad» alliance against the far right in the second round, which will see run-off votes where there was no outright winner in the first round. The leftwing alliance and the president's camp will be hoping that tactical voting to prevent RN candidates winning seats will leave it short of the absolute majority. French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who is likely to be forced to resign after the second round, warned the far right was now at the «gates of power». The RN should not get a «single vote» in the second round, he said. «We have seven days to spare France from catastrophe,» said Raphael Glucksmann, a key figure in the left-wing alliance. - 'Prime minister of all French' - With the French facing their most polarising choices in recent history, turnout soared to 65 percent, way above the turnout in 2022 polls of just 47.5 percent. Macron said the high turnout in the first round spoke of «the importance of this vote for all our compatriots and the desire to clarify the political situation». The arrival of anti-immigration and eurosceptic RN in government would be a turning point in French modern history and be the first time a far-right force has taken power in the country since World War II when it was occupied by Nazi Germany. «Nothing is won and the second round is decisive,» Le Pen, who has long worked to distance the party from its extremist origins, told supporters. «We need an absolute majority so that Jordan Bardella is in eight days named prime minister by Emmanuel Macron.» Bardella said he wanted to be the «prime minister of all French». This would create a tense period of «cohabitation» with Macron, who has vowed to serve out his term until 2027. Bardella has said he will only form a government if the RN wins an absolute majority in the elections. - 'Heavy defeat' - The alternative is months of political paralysis and negotiations to find a solution for a sustainable government that can survive no-confidence votes. Hard-left leader Jean-Luc Melenchon said Macron's centrist alliance had suffered a «heavy and undisputable» defeat in the snap polls. Risk analysis firm Eurasia Group said the RN now looked «likely» to fall short of an absolute majority. France was facing «at least 12 months with a rancorously blocked National Assembly and -- at best -- a technocratic government of 'national unity' with limited capacity to govern», it added. Macron's decision to call the snap vote sparked uncertainty in Europe's second-biggest economy. The Paris stock exchange suffered its biggest monthly decline in two years in June, dropping by 6.4 percent, according to figures released on Friday. The turmoil also risks undermining Macron's stature as an international leader taking a prime role in helping Ukraine fight the Russian invasion. In the immediate aftermath of the second round he is due to attend the NATO summit in Washington. French daily Liberation urged voters to unite to halt the march of the far-right. «After the shock, form a block,» the newspaper said on its Monday front page. © Agence France-Presse

SINGAPORE - In February 2024, Nina – who is in her mid-40s – quit sex work. A month later, she started full-time work in customer service with the help of non-profit organisation Project X. A former masseuse who provided “happy endings” to clients, the single mother joined the sex trade about 20 years ago to support her child, then a toddler. Nina (not her real name) is one of those who have benefited from a Project X programme called The Next Step, which was set up in October 2023 to help sex workers looking to find alternative career pathways. It is supported by funding administered by the National Council of Social Service (NCSS). Such programmes aim to help vulnerable communities get out of a cycle of vulnerability and make better lives for themselves, said an NCSS spokesperson. There are currently 17 sex workers in their 20s to 50s with the programme. The Project X team on June 7 held a presentation on the programme at a social work conference organised by the National University of Singapore’s social work department.

SINGAPORE - Some owners of new motorcycles have been repositioning their new ERP on-board units to reduce what they described as a distracting glare from the display, or to make it easier for the units to be detected by sensors at carpark gantries. Others have chosen to do so out of personal preference, such as to accommodate other gadgets such as mobile phone holders. The repositioning of the on-board unit (OBU) is allowed if it is done by an authorised workshop, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) told The Straits Times. The OBU for motorcycles has a one-piece design that incorporates a small touchscreen and a processing unit, unlike that for cars, which has three separate components. It is part of a nationwide transition to the satellite-based Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) 2.0 system. New motorcycles registered from mid-February have come prefitted with the OBU. On average, more than 1,000 new motorcycles are registered monthly. Installation of the OBUs started for existing motorcycles in June, replacing the in-vehicle units (IUs), the OBU's predecessor.
