Australia’s diagnostic imaging market is steadily advancing, supported by the measured adoption of software-driven and precision-focused medical devices. As healthcare providers prioritize efficiency, functional assessment, and improved clinical decision-making, imaging technologies are becoming increasingly central to care delivery. Against this backdrop, Australia’s diagnostic imaging market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 5% between 2026 and 2036, forecasts GlobalData, a leading intelligence and productivity platform.

GlobalData’s research indicates that Australia accounted for approximately 4% of the Asia-Pacific (APAC) diagnostic imaging market in 2025. While modest in share, the country benefits from consistent technology uptake and ongoing investment in advanced medical devices.

Shagufta Hasan, Medical Devices Analyst at GlobalData, comments: “In the recent years, Australia’s diagnostic imaging sector has demonstrated steady progress in software-driven imaging technologies, supported by sustained funding and research activity. Such developments reflect a growing emphasis on advancing and scaling the existing technologies to enhance clinical utility and support evolving healthcare needs.”

In January 2026, Australia-based medical technology company, 4DMedical secured over $100 million in funding to accelerate the commercialization of its CT:VQ medical device and expand institutional adoption, particularly in the US.

While the funding is primarily aimed at expanding its commercial presence internationally, the development of the device, CT:VQ remain primarily based in Australia. As a cloud-based medical imaging platform, this manufacturing encompasses software engineering, R&D, and data infrastructure activities, which continue to be anchored domestically.

The device delivers detailed ventilation and perfusion insights from standard CT scans, enabling functional lung assessment without the need for additional nuclear medicine procedures. This funding is expected to support ongoing R&D, broader market access, operational scale-up, and ongoing clinical validation activities in Australia, positioning the company for its next phase of growth.

Building on this momentum, the product is currently transitioning from clinical validation toward broader commercial availability across Australian hospitals and radiology networks. Therefore, the funding strengthens not only the company’s international expansion but also supports Australia’s research and innovation base.

While the domestic revenue contribution may remain relatively modest in the near-term, sustained investment into an Australia-headquartered, Australia-developed imaging medical device reinforces local R&D capability, supports high-value employment, and strengthens the country’s competitive position within the diagnostic imaging market.

Hasan concludes: “Continued investment in advanced, locally developed imaging medical devices positions Australia to strengthen its diagnostic capabilities and expand its expertise, not only domestically but also globally. Over time, this momentum is expected to enhance the country’s role within the Asia-Pacific diagnostic imaging landscape.”

Most comprehensive study to date linking global air connectivity and multinational investment, covering 7.5 million firms and 400,000 flight routes over 30 years
Beyond evaluating number of direct connections, the researchers' new methodology – measuring pairwise connectivity, and degree, betweenness and eigenvector centrality – identifies the deeper network factors that shape global investment
Knowledge-intensive sectors such as finance, technology and professional services are especially sensitive to the quality of a city’s global air links

Singapore, 23 January 2026: A new study by the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology’s (SMART) Mens, Manus & Machina (M3S)interdisciplinary research group, alongside collaborators from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and National University of Singapore (NUS), has identified a strong statistical association between global air connectivity and patterns of where multinational corporations (MNCs) invest and set up subsidiaries. This is the most comprehensive global study merging 7.5 million firm records with 30 years of international flight data across more than 800 cities in 142 countries.

Responding to the Hong Kong Court of Appeal rejecting the appeals of 12 defendants in the ‘Hong Kong 47’ case, Amnesty International Hong Kong Overseas spokesperson Fernando Cheung said:

“The court’s dismissal of these appeals underlines the grave state of human rights in Hong Kong and once again demonstrates the politically motivated nature of the Hong Kong 47 case.

“None of these 12 defendants committed an internationally recognized crime; they have been serving lengthy sentences simply for exercising their rights to freedom of expression, association and participation in public affairs.

“It is deeply concerning that, since the introduction of ‘Article 23’ in 2024, at least eight defendants in the Hong Kong 47 case have reportedly been denied early release on the basis of vague and new national security justifications, in contrast to previous long-standing practice in Hong Kong.

“This shows how ‘Article 23’, like the Beijing-imposed National Security Law used to prosecute the Hong Kong 47, has been weaponized to impose additional punitive and retroactive measures against dissidents, including silencing those already behind bars.

“By failing to overturn these wrongful convictions and sentences today, the court has missed a critical opportunity to correct this mass injustice.

“Peaceful opposition to a government is not a crime, and all remaining jailed members of the Hong Kong 47 should be released immediately and unconditionally.”

Background

The Hong Kong Court of Appeal today dismissed the appeals of 12 defendants in the ‘Hong Kong 47’ case.

In Hong Kong’s largest prosecution under the Beijing-imposed National Security Law, which was enacted in June 2020, 47 opposition figures were jointly charged with “conspiracy to commit subversion”. Thirty-one of the 47 pleaded guilty to the charge while 16 pleaded not guilty, two of whom were acquitted.

The charges against the “Hong Kong 47” relate to their organization and participation in self-organized “primaries” for the 2020 Legislative Council elections that were ultimately postponed by authorities on Covid-19 grounds before a new electoral system that strictly vetted who could stand for office was brought in.

To treat self-organized “primaries” conducted by political parties to select candidates to put forward for elections as a genuine threat to Hong Kong’s existence, territorial integrity or political independence does not meet the high threshold of application for “national security” that international human rights standards require.

In March 2024, Hong Kong introduced its Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, often referred to as the ‘Article 23’ law. The law has further squeezed people’s freedoms and enabled authorities to intensify their crackdown on peaceful activism in the city and beyond.

‘Article 23’ has also been used to impose additional punitive measures against dissidents already serving sentences. Before the enactment of ‘Article 23’, the Prison Rules provided that prisoners with good conduct were eligible for early release after serving two-thirds of their sentences. However, under new rules introduced pursuant to ‘Article 23’, the prison authorities can deny the early release on “national security” grounds.

February 20 2026 – US President Trump's signature economic agenda, his tariff regime, appears to be visibly crumbling, yet financial markets are poised to rally through the debris, asserts the CEO of global financial advisory giant deVere Group.

The assessment from Nigel Green comes after the US Supreme Court determined on Friday that President Donald Trump overstepped his legal authority in rolling out sweeping global tariffs without congressional approval, handing the White House a major setback on a policy that has defined his economic agenda, and to a lesser degree foreign strategy since returning to office in January 2025.

Nigel Green says: “This ruling strikes at the core of the administration's economic doctrine.

“Trade confrontation was positioned as the engine of renewed domestic strength.

“Instead, it now faces constitutional limits, market scrutiny, and diminishing economic returns.”

He continues: “Tariffs were sold as a lever to rebalance trade and protect US industry. In practice, they have functioned as a tax on importers, many of whom passed costs directly to consumers.

“Corporate margins have tightened in sectors reliant on global supply chains, and investment decisions have been delayed amid policy uncertainty.”

Recent economic data underscore the fragility of the current environment. Growth has moderated from last year's pace, while inflation measures have shown renewed firmness in categories exposed to higher import costs.

Wage growth remains solid, yet household purchasing power is constrained by elevated prices in services and goods.

The deVere CEO explains: “The economy's not collapsing, but it's losing velocity. Inflation remains persistent enough to limit policy flexibility, and business confidence is sensitive to abrupt regulatory and trade shifts.

“Today's Supreme Court's decision injects a new variable into that equation.”

Despite the political blow, he argues markets are unlikely to respond with sustained panic.

“Investors differentiate between political theatre and earnings power. Equity markets are forward-looking, and they are being supported by strong balance sheets in major US corporations, continued capital expenditure in AI and tech, and expectations that policymakers will ultimately avoid extreme outcomes.”

He adds: “Large-cap equities, particularly in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, and cloud computing, continue to attract global capital.

“Even if tariff authority is curtailed, the structural investment cycle in advanced computing and automation remains intact.”

Bond markets, however, may react with greater nuance.

“If tariffs are rolled back or diluted, some inflationary pressure tied to import costs could ease over time, which may support the longer end of the Treasury curve. Yet persistent fiscal deficits and firm wage growth can also be expected to keep upward pressure on yields.”

Currency markets face competing forces.

“The US dollar could experience bouts of volatility. Reduced trade tension may support global risk appetite, tempering safe-haven flows into the dollar.”

He cautions against simplistic conclusions. “A judicial setback does not automatically reverse the economic trajectory. Implementation timelines, potential legislative responses, and geopolitical reactions all matter.

“Markets will price in probabilities.”

Corporate America, he observes, is likely to adapt quickly.

“Many multinationals have already diversified supply chains and restructured sourcing strategies in anticipation of prolonged trade friction.

“A recalibration of tariff authority may ease cost pressures incrementally, but strategic shifts made over the past year will not be undone overnight.”

Nigel Green concludes: “President Trump's tariff-driven strategy is under clear strain following this ruling.

“The legal boundary has been reinforced, and the economic case for broad-based trade barriers has weakened.

“Yet financial markets are pragmatic. If the result is greater clarity, reduced policy unpredictability, and sustained investment in AI and tech, equities can advance even as the political narrative fractures.”

“Investors should expect volatility around policy announcements and court developments, firmer scrutiny of fiscal sustainability, and selective strength in sectors with durable earnings growth.”

Ahead of former Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte’s confirmation of charges hearing at the International Criminal Court (ICC) on Monday 23 February, Amnesty International’s Secretary General Agnès Callamard said:

“Former President Rodrigo Duterte’s long-awaited day in court is a significant step towards delivering justice for victims and survivors of his administration’s deadly so-called ‘war on drugs’.

“It also reminds the international community that nobody is above the law, no matter the ferocity of attacks, sanctions and threats aimed at the ICC from some world leaders.

“The ICC’s Pre-Trial Chamber must now swiftly reach a decision on confirming the charges of crimes against humanity against Duterte so that justice can proceed.

“Just as Duterte has the right to a fair trial, timely progress towards justice remains essential to uphold victims’ rights. Should the charges be confirmed, the trial must proceed promptly and witnesses must be protected from intimidation.

“We urge the Philippine government to cooperate with the ICC’s ongoing investigation into crimes committed in the country, including by promptly enforcing any further arrest warrants issued by the Court.

“The government’s surrender of Duterte to the ICC does not absolve it of responsibility to deliver domestic accountability for violations in the ‘war on drugs’. Alongside the ICC, the government must carry out effective investigations against all others suspected of involvement in extrajudicial executions and hold perpetrators accountable in fair trials.”

Background

In March 2025, former President Duterte was arrested by the Philippine government and surrendered to the ICC to face charges of murder and attempted murder as crimes against humanity linked to his government’s so-called “war on drugs” and previously his time as mayor of Davao City between 2013 and 2016. Duterte’s initial appearance before the Court took place on 14 March 2025.

Since his arrest, he has been awaiting trial in ICC custody in the Netherlands. Lawyers for the former President have challenged the Court’s jurisdiction, his ongoing detention and his fitness to stand trial. Most recently, they have sought the disqualification of Filipino lawyers who were appointed to represent victims before the Court.

A challenge to the Court’s jurisdiction remains pending before the Appeals Chamber. In January 2026, a Pre-Trial Chamber determined, following a review by medical experts, that Duterte is fit to stand trial.

The Pre-Trial Chamber needs to make its decision on whether to confirm some or all of the charges within 60 days after the 23-27 February hearings conclude. Should it do so, the case would be transferred to a different chamber for the actual trial.

During the Duterte administration from 2016 to 2022, thousands of people, mostly from poor and marginalized communities, were unlawfully killed by the police – or by armed individuals suspected to have links to the police – as part of the “war on drugs”.

Amnesty International has published major investigations detailing extrajudicial executions and other human rights violations by police and their superiors. The organization has determined that the acts committed reach the threshold of crimes against humanity.

The ICC continues to investigate further potential crimes against humanity, during the “war on drugs” and by the Davao Death Squad in Davao City while Duterte served as mayor from 2011 to 2016. On 13 February 2026 a “Public Lesser Redacted Version” of the document containing charges listed eight other persons as co-perpetrators of crimes alongside Duterte. No further arrest warrants have been made public yet.

Port Sudan, February 10, 2026 – Drone attacks carried out by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) are hitting civilian areas and critical infrastructures, including schools, markets, healthcare facilities, and water sources, across Sudan. In the first two weeks of February, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) teams have treated 167 patients suffering from penetrating injuries at level of thorax and abdomen, multiple fractures of limbs, head injuries and drone shrapnel. MSF warns that this pattern of attacks is placing civilians and humanitarian workers at grave risk and calls for their immediate protection.

On February 15, an MSF team in Adré, eastern Chad, received 18 civilians—including four women and three children—who were injured in SAF drone strikes on a fuel market just across the border in Adikong, West Darfur state. On February 6, 29 people sustaining injuries were treated at MSF supported hospital in Tine, also in eastern Chad, following two RSF drone attacks in western Sudan which killed at least 10 people, four of whom died in the hospital. Since that date, patients have been arriving frequently due to strikes.

“Among the patients we received, a nine-year-old boy arrived with a large shrapnel wound to his eye, extensive facial fractures, and two amputated fingers. He was in severe pain and exposed to dust after a long journey to reach the facility. Even with optimal care, he is likely to face long-term disability. He was transferred to Ndjamena for further treatment,” says Virginia Moneti, MSF Project Medical Coordinator in Tine.

Our teams in Zalingei, Central Darfur, also treated 29 patients this month following several attacks, including at least 8 civilians.

Following drone strikes on 3 November in North Darfur, MSF was forced to withdraw from Kornoi and Tina, halting vital medical and humanitarian services. These attacks have made it impossible for MSF to maintain a safe presence, leaving people without essential care.

“The war in Sudan is being fought with drones beyond the front lines. Our teams are regularly treating large numbers of drone wounded people, including women and children. These strikes are used to disrupt supply lines, damage civilian infrastructure, and at risk of creating siege-like conditions in contested areas,” says Esperanza Santos, MSF head of emergencies.

In North Kordofan, where MSF recently launched an emergency response in El Obeid, drone strikes reportedly hit a humanitarian convoy, a vehicle carrying displaced people, and a bus station on 6-7February. Drone attacks reportedly also hit various health facilities in Kadugli and Dilling, South Kordofan state, in the first two weeks of February.

“Recent incidents reveal a disturbing pattern in the conduct of the war in Sudan. Drone strikes are not limited to military targets, sometimes with multiple follow-ups strikes on the same location, and are causing devastating harm: civilians, including children, are being killed or severely injured in blatant disregard of international humanitarian law,” adds Esperanza Santos. “Armed actors must take immediate measures to protect civilians and humanitarian workers. Civilians must be always spared.”

MSF is deeply alarmed by this situation. When civilian areas and humanitarian infrastructure are not respected, our teams cannot operate safely, leaving communities without essential care. This is the exact opposite of what the people of Sudan urgently need, as humanitarian needs are immense and an immediate scale-up of assistance is critical.

MSF is an international, medical, humanitarian organisation that delivers medical care to people in need, regardless of their origin, religion, or political affiliation.  MSF Australia was established in 1995 and is one of 24 international MSF sections committed to delivering medical humanitarian assistance to people in crisis. Every year more than 120 Australians and New Zealanders go on assignment with Médecins Sans Frontières  working as: doctors, midwives, psychologists, laboratory technicians, human resource/finance coordinators, pharmacists, mental health specialists and logisticians. MSF delivers medical care based on need alone and operates independently of government, religion or economic influence and irrespective of race, religion or gender.

Program targets manufacturers of connected digital devices, machines, and systems facing new regulatory requirements under the Cyber Resilience Act

Düsseldorf, February 19, 2026 – The Düsseldorf-based product cybersecurity company ONEKEY has introduced a program called “CRA Fast Start” that allows manufacturers of networked devices, machines, and systems to efficiently and systematically verify their products' compliance with the new EU security standard, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). According to estimates, the cybersecurity directive affects hundreds of millions, if not billions, of digital products in the EU. After the transition periods have expired, products will only be permitted to be placed on the market if manufacturers can demonstrate continuous vulnerability management, documented security processes, and ongoing monitoring of their software and firmware components throughout the entire product life cycle. ONEKEY's “CRA Fast Start” is accordingly based on three pillars: CRA Readiness Assessment, systematic vulnerability management, and continuous monitoring.

The program is designed for organizations at different stages of Cyber Resilience Act Readiness. For manufacturers approaching the CRA for the first time, the assessment provides structured guidance and an initial orientation. Companies already familiar with the regulation and seeking faster implementation can move directly into vulnerability management and continuous firmware monitoring. Additionally, a compliance check and a ONEKEY Compliance Wizard support the initial CRA compliance review. The ONEKEY Compliance Wizard is continuously developed and adapted to future regulatory requirements and expected harmonized standards.

“With CRA Fast Start, we enable manufacturers to systematically and quickly implement the required CRA compliance,” said Jan Wendenburg, ONEKEY's CEO, explaining the new offering.

First Step: Assessing CRA Readiness

A key component of the new program is an initial, structured CRA Readiness Assessment. This assessment involves analyzing a company's current level of maturity in relation to CRA requirements. In addition to product requirements, the assessment examines processes for addressing vulnerabilities, software bills of materials (SBOMs) documentation, and organizational responsibilities, among other things. Based on the results, compliance gaps can be identified and prioritized action steps can be defined. ONEKEY particularly recommends this assessment to companies that are unsure of the extent to which they are affected by the CRA and what they need to do.

For organizations ready to move forward, continuous vulnerability management combined with ongoing firmware monitoring enables early detection of new risks while maintaining full visibility into the software supply chain through SBOM transparency. Newly discovered vulnerabilities, affected libraries, and security-relevant changes are continuously tracked, creating lasting transparency into the security posture of digital products. This approach not only supports CRA compliance but also strengthens internal governance and risk management processes. The program is delivered through the ONEKEY Product Cybersecurity & Compliance Platform.

“Our platform, coupled with the CRA Readiness Assessment, combines our expertise in consulting with the ONEKEY platform's comprehensive analytical power. This new program addresses the urgent need for short-term action by introducing a long-term strategy to achieve compliance,” Jan Wendenburg explains. He clarifies, “Ultimately, manufacturers must not only meet mandatory legal requirements but also make their product range truly resilient to cyberattacks. After all, any vulnerability that is exploited poses legal and reputational risks.”

Urgency Is Required

The CRA requires manufacturers to systematically identify, assess, and remedy vulnerabilities throughout the entire product lifecycle, among other things. ONEKEY meets this requirement by using a continuous vulnerability management approach that automatically analyzes software and firmware components and identifies known security gaps. This creates a robust database for assessing risks in a traceable manner and fulfilling regulatory documentation requirements.

There is no time to waste. Starting in 2026, the Cyber Resilience Act stipulates that actively exploited vulnerabilities must be reported to national authorities within 24 hours. Starting in 2027, all affected products must meet the full security requirements, including documented vulnerability management processes. Companies that fail to meet these deadlines risk fines of up to €15 million or 2.5 percent of their global annual turnover.

ONEKEY is the leading European specialist in Product Cybersecurity & Compliance Management and part of the investment portfolio of PricewaterhouseCoopers Germany (PwC). The unique combination of the automated ONEKEY Product Cybersecurity & Compliance Platform (OCP) with expert knowledge and consulting services provides fast and comprehensive analysis, support, and management to improve product cybersecurity and compliance from product purchasing, design, development, production to end-of-life.

Critical vulnerabilities and compliance violations in device firmware are automatically identified in binary code by AI-based technology in minutes – without source code, device, or network access. Proactively audit software supply chains with integrated Software Bills of Materials (SBOMs) generation. “Digital Cyber Twins” enable automated 24/7 post-release cybersecurity monitoring throughout the product lifecycle.

The patent-pending, integrated ONEKEY Compliance Wizard already covers the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and requirements according to IEC 62443-4-2, ETSI EN 303 645, UNECE R 155 and many others.

The Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) is effectively supported by the integrated automatic prioritisation of vulnerabilities, significantly reducing the time to remediation.

Leading international companies in Asia, Europe and the Americas already benefit from the ONEKEY Product Cybersecurity & Compliance Platform (OCP) and ONEKEY Cybersecurity Experts.
