Tim Cook will step down as the California tech giant's chief executive this year, handing the top job to a company veteran as it navigates a technology landscape being upended by AI. The 65-year-old Cook, who ran Apple for 15 years after taking the reins from its visionary co-founder Steve Jobs, will be succeeded by John Ternus, a senior vice president of hardware engineering. The announcement on Monday answered long-simmering questions about a successor for Cook, who said he will step down in September to become executive board chairman. "It has been the greatest privilege of my life to be the CEO of Apple and to have been trusted to lead such an extraordinary company," Cook said in a statement. He joined Apple in 1998, rising through the ranks and helping drive its success as chief operating officer coordinating the iPhone maker's complex supply chain. He became chief executive in 2011 after Jobs left because of health issues. Cook is credited with expanding Apple's product line and ramping up the company's value to around $4 trillion based on current share prices. He was the mastermind of the strategy that made China the primary manufacturing base for Apple devices, with the vast majority of iPhones assembled by Foxconn and other contract suppliers in Chinese factories. "Tim's unprecedented and outstanding leadership has transformed Apple into the world's best company," outgoing board chairman Arthur Levinson said in the statement. "His integrity and values are infused into everything Apple does."Ternus joined Apple's product design team in 2001 and became a senior vice president of hardware engineering over the course of the following two decades. He is credited with playing roles in an array of products including iPhones, iPads, the Apple Watch and Mac computers.

Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA) Fatih Birol warned on Tuesday that the ongoing conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel is leading to one of the most severe energy crises the world has ever witnessed."This is indeed the biggest crisis in history,” Dr Fatih Birol said an interview. "The crisis is already huge, if you combine the effects of the petrol crisis and the gas crisis with Russia."He added that the war in the Middle East has disrupted shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, through which approximately one-fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas supplies pass, further increasing pressure on energy markets.He pointed out that this crisis also come on top of the effects of Russia’s war with Ukraine, which had already severed Russian gas supplies to Europe.Earlier this month, Birol stated that he believes the current situation in global energy markets is worse than the crises of 1973, 1979, and 2022 combined.In March, the IEA agreed to release a record 400 million barrels of oil from strategic reserves to counter rising oil prices caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran.
