Elements Music of Finland Acquires ‘Significant’ Stake from Sony Music Publishing

Sony Music Publishing has acquired “a significant stake” in Elements Music, a Finland-based independent music publisher with a catalog of about 10,000 compositions.

Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The transaction includes a long-term creative partnership that will connect Elements’ roster with Sony Music Publishing‘s global operations while maintaining the Finnish company’s business operations and local support through SMP Scandinavia.

Elements Music, founded in 2005, represents songwriters including Axel Axel Ehnstrom, Johannes Brotherus (KUUMAA), OLGA Jonas Olsson, Timo Kiiskinen, Kyosti Salokorpi, Samuli Sirvio and BESS. Its catalog also contains works from Finnish acts Eppu Normaali, Yö and Popeda.

Tommi Tuomainen and Eero Tolppanen, who own Elements Music, said: “We are proud and excited about this collaboration, which is a significant milestone for the entire Finnish music industry. It is also essential that SMP shares our view of creator-driven publishing.”

“Artificial intelligence and global platforms are changing the ways music is used and how compensation models work, and it is important that our partner has enough influence and resources to defend creative professionals.”

“Artificial intelligence and global platforms are changing the ways music is used and how compensation models work, and it is important that our partner has enough influence and resources to defend creative professionals. Through this deal, the position of Finnish music creators and the future of their works are now better protected.”

Johnny Tennander, Managing Director of Sony Music Publishing Scandinavia, added: “We’ve always admired what Tommi, Eero and the Elements team have built up in Finland, it’s truly impressive what they have achieved. Having had a great dialogue for a long time, this feels like a natural next step for both of us and we are very proud and excited to welcome Elements to the SMP family.”

Guy Henderson, President, International, Sony Music Publishing, said: “It is such a pleasure to welcome Tommi, Eero and the Elements team to SMP. With Tommi and Eeros’ domestic credibility and their renowned creativity, together with SMP’s international reach, we look forward to nurturing and growing the careers of their incredible roster of songwriters in Finland and around the globe.”

The development marks SMP’s latest investment after its French unit, alongside Sony Music France, in July acquired Lusafrica and Africa Nostra, a long-established label and publishing house dedicated to promoting Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) and African artists worldwide.

In June, SMP acquired Hipgnosis Songs Group LLC, previously known as Big Deal Music, from Blackstone’s Recognition Music Group. Big Deal Music was acquired by Hipgnosis Songs Fund in September 2020. As well as bringing 4,400 copyrights into Hipgnosis, that deal included the company’s US publishing admin business, Words & Music.

As MBW noted, these assets have now been acquired by SMP, including the 4,400 copyrights. They include cuts in songs recorded by Shawn Mendes, Panic! At the Disco, and One Direction.

Is Southeast Asia capable of converting its economic influence into tangible power? | Business and Economy

As global trade tensions rise, ASEAN faces a challenge: how to benefit from the US and China without picking sides.

It is the world’s fifth-largest economy, with a combined gross domestic product of more than $3.6 trillion dollars.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) brings together 11 states, representing nearly 700 million people.

As a fast-growing hub for trade, manufacturing and supply chains, ASEAN is a vital partner for both China and the United States.

However, Donald Trump’s tariffs on some of its members have raised concerns about whether Washington has turned its back on the region.

These come as Beijing has doubled down on its efforts to expand its influence.

Meanwhile, Trump has sanctioned Russia’s oil companies.

Plus, Africa’s anti-money laundering efforts.

Is the Women’s 200 Freestyle Making a Comeback in the 2025-26 NCAA Season?

By Sophie Kaufman on SwimSwam

This was a major week in NCAA swimming. While the World Cup concluded with a blistering weekend in Toronto (highlighted by some current NCAA stars) there was plenty of fast swimming in the yards pool as well. There were major matchups as powerhouse programs faced off, and the international freshman sprinters reached new heights. And yes, it’s still only October.

Women’s 200 Freestyle Renaissance

One of the trends over the last couple of seasons in women’s college swimming has been the rapid advancement of the 500 freestyle. After several years of stagnation, the event got quicker in a hurry. In the 2023-24 season, 17 women broke 4:40 before midseason; that number shot up to 24 for 2024-25.

This year, it’s the women’s 200 freestyle that’s seeing an early season surge. It isn’t November yet, and already seven women have broken 1:43.

  1. Anna Moesch, Virginia – 1:41.42
  2. Bella Sims, Michigan – 1:41.43
  3. Aimee Canny, Virginia – 1:41.85
  4. Liberty Clark, Indiana – 1:42.43
  5. Minna Abraham, USC – 1:42.50
  6. Claire Weinstein, Cal – 1:42.52
  7. Erin Gemmell, Texas – 1:42.64

Torri Huske rounds out the top eight women in the NCAA so far this season with the 1:43.00 she swam leading off Stanford’s 800 freestyle relay at the Cardinals’ tri-meet against Cal and Arizona State.

Four of these seven women put in their times this past weekend. Bella Sims highlighted the action with the 1:42.43 she swam in her debut as a Michigan Wolverine. The time puts her just a hundredth off Moesch’s NCAA leading time and the mark for the fastest October 200-yard freestyle swim in NCAA history.

Moesch’s Virginia teammate, Aimee Canny, shot up to third on the list during the Cavaliers dual against the Tar Heels, swimming a 1:41.85. The swim made Canny the third woman to break 1:42 this season. It’s her first time breaking through that barrier; her previous best was a 1:42.00 from the 2025 ACC Championships.

Erin Gemmell swam 1:42.64 as the Longhorns faced the Volunteers. Gemmell scared her lifetime best of 1:42.34 this season and told SwimSwam after the meet she “loves having more 200 free training partners,” which she got this year with the arrival of Nikolett Padar. Finally, Cal freshman Claire Weinstein introduced herself to the NCAA with a 1:42.52.

Highlights From Major DI Matchups

There were three significant Division I dual meets this weekend that all featured top 25 NCAA teams. Virginia faced UNC, Texas hosted Tennessee, and Stanford, Cal, and Arizona State battled in a tri-meet.

UVA vs. UNC

Let’s start with the first meet of the weekend, where Virginia freshman Sara Curtis swam an impressive 21.18, becoming the 12th fastest performer in history. She swam the race exhibition due to the meet structure. Curtis has been showing off her speed early this season, having made a quick adjustment to yards with the majority of the season still to come. She’s one of five Virginia women in the top 12 fastest 50 freestylers in history.

Behind her, transfer Bryn Greenwaldt posted a lifetime best 21.76, dropping from the 21.92 she swam to set the NCAA DII record in March at the 2025 DII National Championships. Other notable swims include Moesch swimming a lifetime best 46.53 in the 100 freestyle and Claire Curzan swimming 1:47.89 in the 200 backstroke. At this meet last year, Curzan swam 1:51.84.

Curzan’s time was an AFC pool record, as was David King’s 1:39.86 200 backstroke and Canny’s 1:41.85 200 freestyle. Thomas Heilman and Maximus Williamson also logged pool records, with Heilman swimming a 44.59 100 butterfly and Williamson a 1:32.32 200 freestyle.

Texas vs. Tennessee

Across the country, another international freshman sprinter continued making waves of her own. Like Curtis, Texas freshman Eva Okaro has been one of the highlights of women’s NCAA swimming through the early part of the season, quickly figuring out how to swim fast in the bathtub.

In the morning session of the two-session affair against Tennessee, Okaro posted a 47.06 100 freestyle, breaking the Longhorns’ school record. Her time cracked the previous school record, held by Claire Adams since 2018, by .24 seconds. Okaro faced off against Camille Spink in the event and edged her out for the win by a hundredth. The two now sit second and third in the league this season.

Okaro beat Spink by .01 again later in the session as both led off the 200 freestyle relay, which Texas won.

Rex Maurer won four events at the meet, kicking things off with a 8:42.30 1000 freestyle, about a second off his lifetime best from a January dual meet last season. He then won the 400 IM in 3:41.19

The Tennessee men lost their star sprinter, Jordan Crooks, to graduation at the end of last season. Gui Caribe has picked up the mantle of the team’s top sprinter and swept the sprint freestyles (18.98/41.93).

Will Modglin and Nate Germonprez were also strong for the Texas men. Modglin won the 100 butterfly (45.74), 100 backstroke (44.96), and 200 backstroke (1:39.41), Germonprez swept the individual breaststrokes (50.62/1:52.25).

ASU vs. Stanford vs. Cal

After transferring from Florida to Arizona State this season, Chaney has already shown that he’s going to be a crucial piece of the Sun Devils’ relays this season. He posted a top 10 50 backstroke split earlier this year—he swam on that relay again this meet, swimming 20.75 but the much more impressive relay swim was his 18.06 50 freestyle anchor. He also put together a 44.49 to win the 100 backstroke, just three-hundredths from his current season best.

We already touched on the women’s 200 freestyles from this meet. Along with her 1:43.00 200 freestyle, Huske took on the 100 backstroke, another off event for her. She won with a lifetime best 51.62, upsetting Cal sophomore Mary-Ambre Moluh (51.98). Huske then won her bread-and-butter event, the 100 fly, with a 51.05. It’s the second-fastest time in the NCAA this season behind Claire Curzan (50.06).

Finally, Huske led off Stanford’s 200 freestyle relay in 22.05, turning things over to freshman Annam Olasewere. She split 21.94, notably under her lifetime best 21.99 from March.

Stanford’s Ethan Ekk and Cal’s Ryan Erisman had a great race in the 1000 freestyle. Ekk used a strong back half to take over and win in 8:42.25, shattering his previous best and taking over as the top swimmer in the NCAA this season from Maurer’s 8:42.30. Erisman took second in 8:43.48, setting a school record.

After her breakout last her in short-course yards and long-course meters, Caroline Bricker won the 200 butterfly (1:52.83), 200 breaststroke (2:09.18), 400 IM (4:04.30).

Audrey Mahoney Breaks 25-Year-Old Jenny Thompson Pool Record

UNH senior Audrey Mahoney is on fire this season. On the first day of the team’s two-day dual against CCSU, Mahoney fired off a 22.98 50 freestyle, breaking the legendary Jenny Thompson’s pool record in the event. Thompson had held the pool record at 23.00 since 1990.

This is Mahoney’s second pool record in less than a week. In UNH’s season-opener at Vermont, she swam a 23.52 to take over the Catamounts’ pool record. Her time this weekend was just five-hundredths from her lifetime best, which she swam at the 2025 CSCAA National Invitation Championship in March.

“After Audrey set that UVM pool record last weekend, I gave her a personal challenge for this weekend’s meet,” UNH head coach Josh Willman said. “She really came through, and it was fun to watch!”

Quick Hits

  • The Notre Dame men and women’s team both picked up their first wins under new head coach Michael Norment and his staff. Notre Dame swept Northwestern, with the women’s team taking the win by two points, 151-149. The men’s battle was close as well with the Fighting Irish winning 158.5 to 141.5. This was the first victory for the men’s team since returning from a season-long suspension.
  • The UC Santa Cruz men made program history this weekend. They earned their first win over a DI program ever, beating Pacific 144-143. The team got off to a hot start, opening the meet with a 1:30.08 program record in the 200 medley relay. Later, freshman PJ Fortune swam 55.79 in the 100 breaststroke. UCSC won the final event of the meet, the 400 free relay, in 3:02.00 to secure the team’s historic win.
  • The Pitt women took a big step forward last season, including qualifying a relay for NCAAs for the first time since 2005-06, then posting their highest NCAA team finish in 29 years (27th). They’ve made more history early this season, taking their first win over Penn State at home in 36 years. The Pitt women dominated en route to their historic win, scoring 218 points to Penn State’s 77.
  • Division II Concordia University cut four athletics programs in May, including women’s swimming and diving. This week, the university was ordered to reinstate the team, along with women’s tennis, after a group of female athletes sued the school over Title IX.
  • LSU set six pool records in its sweep of Kentucky this weekend. After breaking pool records at the SMU Classic, junior Jere Hribar contributed two individual pool records this weekend. Hribar clocked 19.10 in the 50 freestyle, then turned in a 42.07 in the 100 freestyle. He also played a role on the Tigers’ 200 medley relay pool record, splitting 18.66 as he, Stepan Goncharov (21.05 back), Volodymyr Lisovets (23.49 breast), and Caleb Ellis (20.87 fly) combined for 1:24.07

Concept of Mitsubishi Elevance SUV with Expandable Camper Pod

Concept of Mitsubishi Elevance SUV with Expandable Camper Pod

It may never reach the iconic heights of the Volkswagen California or Ford Nugget, but it’s hard to think of a single vehicle that better embodies the bold, free spirit of off-road tiny van life than the Mitsubishi Delica. With its compact mini-camper dimensions, classic single-box shape, and history of sporty 4WD trims, the van has become a cult classic and popular camper base around the globe, even in the US where it only sold as new for a few years over three decades ago. But at this year’s Japan Mobility Show, the Delica cedes the stage to an even cooler Mitsubishi camping rig, a futuristic concept combo that expands into a multi-room base camp.

The all-new Elevance Concept SUV isn’t as immediately lovable as the classic Delica Chamonix 4×4 vans that still make our hearts flutter generations later. It’s a fairly basic SUV, and it shares more styling with the current-gen Delica D:5 than beloved Delicas of the past. Not a good thing.

Five generations of Mitsubishi Delica serve as backdrop for the all-new Elevance Concept

Mitsubishi Motors

But behind its rear bumper, the Elevance shows its fun side because the concept SUV comes equipped with a matching camper pod trailer designed to complete an adventuresome tandem.

At first, the trailer reminded us a little of the adorable Booba we covered recently – a little capsule that tows smaller than a teardrop and expands at camp to provide a comfortable living space. But instead of a simple clamshell body and inflatable cabin tent, Mitsubishi imagines it having a multipart expansion system that starts with the glassy slide-out module shown up top and continues with a rear tailgate, lift-up side hatch and slide-out kitchen.

The slide-out module on the trailer’s left expands the interior to comfortably fit a transverse double bed, while the open hatch on the opposite side can support an auxiliary tent to grow out the sheltered space. The kitchen area slides out below that hatch and comes powered by an onboard battery that charges from the Elevance SUV’s traction battery when low. It includes a dual-hob electric cooktop with grill and a sink. Mitsubishi also mentions an outdoor shower system with a water pump powered by the battery.

In spite of the traditional tailgate, the Elevance trailer kitchen slides out a full-size sidewall hatch, which also serves as the roof of the auxiliary tent

While not a camper itself, the Elevance SUV does employ the type of 180-degree front seats common in camper vans and larger motorhomes. Instead of rotating the entire seat around like a conventional design, Mitsubishi uses folding seat backs as a lighter, quicker way of getting the seats in rear-facing position.

These seats allow the SUV to serve as a separate camping space, the type of lounge that larger camping trailers and motorhomes have but micro-camper trailers naturally lack. Add a removable tabletop, and it doubles as a dining room and game area.

The Mitsubishi Elevance Concept has three rows and six seats, including RV-style front swivel seats. Also note the side windows that dip down below the character line with help from floating door panels

The Elevance’s flat floor would also make for easy aftermarket camper conversions – the dual rear seating rows could be folded down or removed to make way for another double bed to complement the one in the trailer. As in the trailer, this bed would be set below large glass roof panels for big, open views of the night sky. Those panels are naturally complemented by side windows that extend well below the character line to offer better views of the passing scenery.

Whether towing its matching trailer or not, the Elevance SUV is carefully designed for moving confidently from city streets to primitive stretches of off-road. It uses a 4WD system consisting of an electric motor inside each wheel coupled with Mitsibushi’s long-established Super-All Wheel Control System, delivering precise manipulation of each wheel toward optimal traction management and body leveling, particularly valuable on fast-varying uneven terrain.

The Elevance SUV isn’t a pure-electric, following modern trending toward plug-in hybrid power with the addition of a range-extender internal combustion engine capable of running on carbon-neutral fuel. Beyond offering more range and easier refueling, the ICE generator ensures there’s battery life left over for powering overnight base camp.

While not quite as compact or nimble as a Delica-based camper van, the Elevance tandem still presents an interesting small, practical family camper setup for city dwellers. The lower-towing pop-up trailer design could be garaged alongside the SUV at home in the city, providing a fast, easy way of escaping on demand to the mountains, forest, beach or just city outskirts. Keep it stocked with camping gear, and it’ll be easy enough to pack some clothes and loose ends before driving off after work on a Friday evening for a weekend getaway.

Mitsubishi further supports the Elevance’s natural road-tripping spirit with an AI Co-Driver system that analyzes road conditions, provides re-routing advice and offers destination suggestions based on the owner’s likes and hobbies. The user interface screen is embedded directly in the steering wheel.

Sharing the “Forever Adventure”-themed Japan Mobility Show booth with the Elevance is an actual Delica van, in this case a new prototype of a forthcoming Delica D:5 refresh. The light facelift brings a new front-end design and contrast wheel arch flares to emphasize the van’s all-wheel off-road capabilities. Inside, it gains digital gauges and metal trim meant to evoke the feel of outdoor gear. This refresh is available for preorder in Japan now.

Also on show at this week's Japan Mobility Show, the refreshed Delica D:5 prototype features contrast wheel arches and a new front bumper and grille design

As far as we’re concerned, the new Delica refresh is merely a reminder of how badly Mitsubishi messed up when it decided to marry van and SUV styling in the original Delica D:5 way back in 2007. You can argue the trend started with the fourth generation, but that one’s still pretty cool and classic, as far as we’re concerned.

The Delica D:5, on the other, completely shed the timeless form that made the nameplate so likable, accentuating the two-box form, adding in the tall, vertical front-end and crisping up the edges. The addition of the Dynamic Shield during the D:5’s 2019 refresh only made things worse, and this new refresh doesn’t do anything to help.

At least the contrast arches remind us of the van’s sweet 4WD history, which includes this baby:

Now this is the type of Delica style we're looking for – We spotted this classic Delica 4x4 van at Overland Expo a few years back and were immediately sold on the inherent coolness of all-terrain Delica rigs

C.C. Weiss/New Atlas

We’re not sure the refreshed Delica Mini fares any better, though it does take rugged, boxy styling to a new level. First introduced in 2023, the kei van extension of the Delica nameplate gets its first update.

With its tiny nose and level roofline, the Delica Mini was always a box, but Mitsubishi has worked overtime in expanding that boxiness to new corners. It’s beefed up the wheel arches, created a squarer, more upright upper fascia around the headlamps, and carved in some rather sharp, level accents on the sides. The windshield also appears more upright.

The latest Delica Mini refresh looks boxier and kind of gaunt, at least in this photo

Mitsubishi

To be fair, the photo Mitsubishii released in its international Japan Mobility Show press kit seems to accentuate the changes, and the restyled Delica Mini still appears rather cute-as-a-button and fun-loving in other photos and videos, including this wild little intro:

Meeting between Trump and Xi in 73 seconds

US President Donald Trump met Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea on Thursday, following months of escalating tension between the countries.

It was the first face-to-face interaction the two men have had since 2019, when they last met during the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan.

The two world leaders exchanged handshakes and praise in front of cameras before leaving to talk in private for two hours. Trump hailed the meeting with Xi as “a great success”.

Bitcoin and Ethereum prices drop following Federal Reserve chair’s suggestion that final 25-point rate cut could be in 2025.

The crypto markets fell slightly on Wednesday after Jerome Powell, chair of the Federal Reserve Board, hinted that an October interest rate cut of 25 points may be the last such cut of 2025. Bitcoin dipped 1.6% over the past 24 hours to trade at nearly $111,000, according to data from Binance. Ethereum, the second largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, was down about 2% to a bit more than $3,900. The total market cap of all cryptocurrencies dropped 1.8%. 

While Powell said there were “strongly differing views” among his colleagues about future rate cuts, he added during a press conference that “there’s a growing chorus now of feeling like maybe this is where we should at least wait a cycle.”

The S&P 500 ended Wednesday essentially flat, the Dow Jones was down about 0.2%, and the Nasdaq finished almost 0.6% up.

Despite the wavering markets, some crypto analysts were cautiously optimistic. “Easing monetary conditions are supportive of upward price momentum for BTC [Bitcoin] so long as the macroeconomic outlook doesn’t pose severe issues unforeseen by the market,” Alex Blume, founder and CEO of the crypto asset manager Two Prime, said in an email to Fortune.

The dip in cryptocurrency prices on Wednesday was smaller compared to a recent flash crash on Oct. 10 that wiped out more than $19 billion in positions in the largest crypto liquidation event ever tracked by the crypto analytics firm CoinGlass. 

The crash coincided with President Donald Trump’s threat to hit China with a 100% tariff “over and above” existing tariffs, causing Bitcoin to shed more than $200 million in market cap and plummet nearly 10% in price. Ethereum experienced an even more drastic downturn, tanking almost 14%.

Just days after the flash crash, Trump walked back his aggressive rhetoric. “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine!” he posted on Truth Social. “The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!!”

The markets—including cryptocurrency prices—have since stabilized, and traders are anxiously awaiting the results of a Thursday meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping, the president of China. Since Oct. 10, Bitcoin has traded around $110,000 and Ethereum has hovered near $4,000.

“The fluctuating macroeconomic backdrop is [the] dominant driver of this crypto cycle,” Thomas Perfumo, global economist at the crypto exchange Kraken, said in an email to Fortune, adding later: “While the market is stabilizing after the Oct. 10 liquidation event, this ‘reset’ event certainly reduced short-term risk tolerance.”
