Satu
Vainikka, chief executive of ValiRx Plc (LON:VAL), tells Proactive
Investors the company is discussions with larger companies over
potential licencing deals and collaborations for its lead cancer drug
VAL 201.
The company is to broaden the phase I/II clinical trial of
its lead cancer drug to speed up the dose expansion stage, allowing it
to complete the prostate cancer trial within the projected and
regulatory-agreed time frame.
“A biotech business model is to take
things from A to B and once you start reaching B, which in our case is
Phase II clinical trials, we are starting to talk to big pharmaceutical
companies or bigger biotech companies,” Vainikka says.
The company has also started preparatory work on a full efficacy study (phase III) of the drug in prostate cancer treatment.
While
television viewing habits are changing, especially amid the rise of
streaming outlets like Netflix and Amazon Prime, people will likely
consume more video than ever before in the coming years, according to
one expert. 'We are in a battle for people's time and attention,' said
Russell Sapienza, entertainment & media advisory practice partner at
PwC, which released a five-year outlook report on the entertainment and
media space on Wednesday. 'We see that as one of the shifts occurring
over these five years.' He said the major traditional cable providers -
from companies like Comcast , Charter Communications , Verizon
Communications and Cablevision - are working on 'streaming only' options
in an effort to compete with the aforementioned streaming giants.
'There are about 10 million households with a broadband line coming into
the home with no television,' he said, adding that these households
represent an important opportunity for TV and video providers. Sapienza
doesn't see much of a battle between the old players and the new
players, like Netflix and Amazon. 'I think everyone will prevail,' he
said, adding 'I think you will have this traditional linear option that
tends to be shrinking, but not very fast. And you have a demographic of
youth who are consuming media at different times on different devices
and there are players out there offering TV everywhere.' In order to
grow, Sapienza found that cable and streaming companies must tap into
overseas markets, many of which are buoyed by a growing middle class and
higher disposable income. 'We used to monitor about 30 countries and we
are now monitoring 54 where media is taking hold,' he added. PwC said
total U.S. TV and video revenue will reach $122.09 billion in 2020,
compared to $119.77 billion in 2015. The number of U.S. pay-TV
subscribers will reach 101 million in 2020, from 100 million in 2015.

Jeremy
Martin, chief executive of Horizonte Minerals Plc, (LON:HZM, TSX:HZM)
says the preliminary environmental licence it has been granted for a
mine and beneficiation plant at Araguaia in Brazil is “a major milestone
for us”.
He tells Proactive Investors that the licence “is probably
the hardest milestone to get” adding “it’s basically the first stage
gate in terms of walking towards production”.
The junior miner said
the award underscored the viability of its project at Araguaia and the
state government’s support for the development.
“We are currently
operating in a very low nickel price environment and the key that
everybody wants to see is ‘can you operate and make money at this kind
of price range’ and our aim is to show that this project can,” Martin
says.

The
WTI Crude Oil market broke higher during the course of the session on
Tuesday, clearing the $50 level. By closing at the top of the range, it
looks like the market should continue to go higher. After all, the $50

Also, is an area that we have been fighting with for some time, and with
that being the case I believe that it’s a sign we will continue to go
much higher.
Finland...
the thought of Vladimir Putin doesn't quite come to mind at the first
mention of it. But, a small Finnish autonomy, the Aland islands is
living under the vast shadow of the Kremlin.
The trip begins at a
central bus station. Although it may sound warm and exotic the actual
climate here is damp and cold. Aland - nearly seven thousand rocky
islands, a region that encompasses an archipelago at the entrance of the
Gulf of Bothnia in the Baltic Sea. Just like Ukraine's Crimea, Aland is
an autonomous region and although nowadays it is the only
Swedish-speaking region in Finland... Aland islands were under the rule
of the Russian Empire. And seemingly, Russia's interest in the Finnish
autonomy has not faded yet.
So what's it like for the Finns to
live right beside a neighbour that stole a part of their land? From a
Ukrainian standpoint that sounds way-too-familiar.
The Kremlin
grip on the neighbouring ex-Soviet states is evident, but it's not that
easy to spot in Finland, at least not with a naked eye.
The
phenomena of cross-border shopping. It is a part of the Finland/Russia
frontier too. The Russian language can be heard everywhere here. Special
buses bring shoppers here several times a day.

In
2014, Islamic State militants swept into Western Iraq's Anbar Province,
overrunning Iraqi security forces, enslaving minorities, and causing
thousands to flee for their lives.
The jihadist group captured
Iraq’s largest city, Mosul, and the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah, where
hundreds of US troops died fighting the Islamic State’s predecessor.
Now,
two years later, the Iraqi security forces, with help from
Iranian-supported Shiite militias and US military advisors and
warplanes, are fighting to take back towns and cities in Anbar, one
battle at a time.
But it’s a difficult task: Anbar has been the
crucible of Iraq’s insurgency, and is the country’s Sunni heartland —
long marginalized by and hostile to the Shiite-led government in
Baghdad.

Forces unit as they fought their way into the villages surrounding the
city of Hit, where they encountered ambushes, sniper fire, and tried to

Iraqi civilians.

Zillow settled the suit for just $130 million dollars. On word of the
settlement, Barclays upgraded Zillow's shares to EQUAL WEIGHT from
UNDERWEIGHT. The firm also raised the stock's price target to $32 from
$20. This year, Zillow shares are up 37 percent.
