NEW YORK, Aug. 11 (Xinhua) — U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that gold would be exempt from tariffs, sending gold futures prices sharply lower.

“Gold will not be subject to duties!” he wrote on the social network Truth Social.

Gold futures prices, backed by deliveries of bars from Switzerland and other key trading and refining hubs, rose sharply on Thursday and Friday on speculation that U.S. customs officials would levy duties on 1-kilogram and 100-ounce gold bars.

Gold futures for August delivery fell more than 2 percent on the New York Mercantile Exchange on Monday.

The United States recently imposed a 39 percent tariff on goods imported from Switzerland, which holds significant gold reserves and plays a key role in settling gold futures on the international market. –0–

DOHA, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) — Al Jazeera on Monday condemned the killing of five of its employees by the Israeli army in the Gaza Strip.

In a statement, the channel described the attack as “yet another blatant and deliberate attack on press freedom.”

“This attack comes amid the catastrophic consequences of the ongoing Israeli offensive on Gaza, which has resulted in the merciless massacre of civilians, forced starvation and the destruction of entire communities,” the statement said, holding Israeli forces and the government responsible for the “deliberate targeting and killing” of journalists.

The channel stressed that the attack on its correspondents was “a desperate attempt to silence the voices exposing the impending takeover and occupation of Gaza.”

The channel said the Israeli army killed five of its correspondents on Sunday when it attacked their tent outside the Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City. The IDF said one of those killed was affiliated with Hamas. –0–

BEIJING, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) — Domestic film "Dead to Rights" about the Nanjing Massacre committed by Japanese invaders in the Chinese city during World War II has grossed over 2.2 billion yuan (about 308 million U.S. dollars) during its summer release in China, according to an online film platform.

The film thus broke the record for box office receipts in the summer release among historical films. Summer release in China covers the period from the beginning of June to the end of August.

Resolution of July 31, 2025 No. 1138

The territorial bodies of the Social Fund of Russia will consider applications for the use of maternal (family) capital funds and make decisions on them more quickly. The period allotted for this has been halved – from 10 to 5 working days. The decree on this was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The new norm was adopted to implement the provisions of the federal law “On additional measures of state support for families with children”, approved by the President in June 2025.

The period for reviewing applications and making decisions on them has also been reduced if the territorial body of the Social Fund of Russia needs to request additional documents. It will be reduced from 20 to 12 working days.

Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the operational meeting with deputy prime ministers, August 11, 2025

"It is important that parents have more time for their children, and not for paperwork. We will continue to expand support for families, creating the necessary conditions for them," Mikhail Mishustin noted, commenting on the decision taken at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on August 11.

The maternal (family) capital program has been implemented in Russia since January 1, 2007 and today is part of the national project “Family”.

Maternity (family) capital funds can be used to improve housing conditions, pay for a child’s education, purchase goods and services for children with disabilities, and for other purposes.

Every year, the amount of maternity capital is indexed according to the actual inflation rate. Since February 2025, its amount is more than 690 thousand rubles for the first child, and for the second child and subsequent children – more than 912 thousand rubles.

About 400 students and teachers of the university will live in a comfortable apartment-type dormitory. The building will have blocks for living with a kitchen and a bathroom. There will also be utility and administrative premises there.

"Creating modern, comfortable living conditions for students and teachers is a key task in the development of the country's educational infrastructure. The new dormitory, being built as part of the register of capital construction projects included in the comprehensive state program "Construction", supervised by the Ministry of Construction of Russia, will be a significant contribution to solving this problem for one of our key specialized universities," said Deputy Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Yuri Gordeev.

Currently, the site has completed roofing and facade installation, finishing work, installation of internal engineering systems and external engineering networks. Furniture assembly and installation are nearing completion, as well as landscaping of the adjacent territory. Commissioning of engineering systems is underway.

"In January 2025, we completed the construction of the research and production building. The facility is now actively functioning. Scientific research and laboratory work, educational and industrial practices are carried out there. The construction of a new building on the basis of the university made it possible to create new modern functional areas, thanks to which students will be able to gain practical skills and in-depth knowledge in the field of marine technology," said Karen Oganesyan, General Director of the Unified Customer PPC.

The state will reimburse breeding farms for part of the costs of conducting molecular genetic testing of young cattle. The resolution approving the rules for providing a subsidy for these purposes was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. The decision taken will contribute to the further development of livestock breeding and strengthening Russia's food security.

Molecular genetic expertise will provide information on the authenticity of the origin of breeding young animals and the presence of genetically determined diseases in animals. In addition, it will provide an opportunity to conduct genomic studies of the breeding value of a particular animal.

The amount of the subsidy transferred to the budgets of the subjects will be up to 70% of the volume of expenses actually incurred by breeding farms. The funds will be provided on the basis of an agreement between the Ministry of Agriculture and regional authorities and distributed using the state information system "Electronic Budget".

It is planned that in 2025, 110 thousand animals will undergo molecular genetic testing in Russia.

During the discussion of this issue at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on August 11, Mikhail Mishustin asked Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev to keep issues of development of livestock breeding under personal control.

The work is being carried out within the framework of the federal project “Creating conditions for the development of scientific research in selection and genetics”, which is part of the national project to ensure technological leadership “Technological support for food security”.
