#USA - Boeing Shares are Lower on Delay of New Tankers to Miliary: TheStreet

Published on 31 May 2016
Boeing shares are falling Monday after the announcement late last week that the company will delay delivery of new KC-46 tankers to the U.S. military. Boeing was supposed to deliver 18 KC-46 tankers by August 2017, but now that won't happen until early 2018. Analysts say the announcement was a surprise since Boeing seemed confident about its ability to deliver just three weeks ago at its annual investor day. The $40 billion program is already more than $1 billion over budget, according to analysts at Canaccord Genuity, which have a hold rating on the stock.

#UK - Bacanora CEO: Lithium becoming an everyday commodity: ProactiveInvestors Stocktube

Published on 31 May 2016
Peter Secker, chief executive of Bacanora Minerals Ltd's (LON:BCN, CVE:BCN) says the market for lithium could double over the next decade, in tandem with the rise of renewable energy.

Lithium batteries store energy from renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, and Secker says “lithium is becoming more and more an everyday commodity and significant consumption increases over the next decade are going to see demand growth from about 180,000 tonnes a year that it is currently to anywhere north of 350,000 tonnes a year.”

He adds that there is “very limited new supply coming into the market”.

Bacanora is currently developing the Sonora lithium deposit in Mexico with the feasibility study scheduled to be delivered in in the first quarter of 2017.

#Israel - Ex-Mossad head on Israel medical aid to al-Nusra Front - UpFront: Al Jazeera English

Published on 31 May 2016
The former head of Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad, defends the country's treatment of al-Nusra Front fighters on the Syrian border.

In this web extra, Efraim Halevy tells Mehdi Hasan that he is not concerned that Israel had treated fighters in Syria from al-Nusra Front who some say is al-Qaeda's Syrian branch.

"It's always useful […] to deal with your enemies in a humane way," Halevy says.

When pressed on whether he believed the assistance was purely humanitarian Halevy responds, "I didn't say there's no tactical [consideration]. I said the main consideration, the immediate consideration is humane."

Halevy also says he would not support the treatment of wounded Hezbollah fighters because Israel had been targeted by Hezbollah, but "not specifically targeted by al-Qaeda"

Watch more from Mehdi Hasan's interview with Efraim Halevy in which they discuss Israeli politics, the peace process and Halevy’s time in the Mossad.
