Avertissement aux parents concernant la flambée des cas de rougeole

Published

on

Les parents ont été invités à vérifier que les vaccins de leurs enfants sont à jour au milieu d’une augmentation des cas de rougeole cette année.

L’Agence britannique de sécurité sanitaire (UKHSA) a jusqu’à présent détecté 49 cas de rougeole, qui provoque une forte fièvre, des yeux douloureux, rouges et larmoyants et une éruption cutanée marbrée.

Cela équivaut presque aux 54 cas de virus, qui se propagent «très facilement» et peuvent entraîner une hospitalisation, une invalidité et la mort dans les cas graves, enregistrés en Angleterre pour l’ensemble de 2022.

Les chefs de la santé, qui ont qualifié l’épidémie de “préoccupante”, ont averti qu’un enfant sur six n’avait pas eu son vaccin contre la rougeole, les oreillons et la rubéole (vaccin ROR), qui est administré aux enfants âgés d’un an, avec une deuxième dose à trois ans et quatre mois. .

Mais ils ont déclaré qu’il n’était «jamais trop tard pour rattraper leur retard» et ont exhorté les parents à offrir à leurs enfants les piqûres potentiellement vitales avant l’été – lorsque les voyages dans le monde et les festivals bondés peuvent faciliter la propagation de la rougeole.

Londres représente la majorité des cas, avec 33, suivi du Sud-Ouest qui a enregistré six cas

Le Dr Vanessa Saliba, épidémiologiste consultante à l’UKHSA, a déclaré: «Nous appelons tous les parents et tuteurs à s’assurer que leurs enfants sont à jour avec leurs 2 doses de ROR.

“Il n’est jamais trop tard pour rattraper son retard, et vous pouvez obtenir le vaccin ROR gratuitement sur le NHS quel que soit votre âge.”

Elle a averti que bien que la rougeole soit généralement bénigne, il y avait toujours un risque d’issue fatale.

“La rougeole se propage très facilement et peut entraîner des complications nécessitant un séjour à l’hôpital et, dans de rares cas, peut entraîner une invalidité à vie ou la mort, il est donc très préoccupant de voir des cas commencer à se propager cette année”, a-t-elle déclaré.

Des symptômes semblables à ceux du rhume, notamment une température élevée, un nez qui coule ou bouché, des éternuements, une toux et des yeux rouges, douloureux et larmoyants, sont généralement les premiers signes d’une infection par la rougeole.

Quelques jours plus tard, de petites taches blanches peuvent apparaître à l’intérieur des joues et à l’arrière des lèvres.

Une éruption cutanée, constituée de plaques rouges en relief qui se rejoignent, apparaît généralement sur le visage et derrière les oreilles avant de se propager au reste du corps.

Les symptômes s’améliorent généralement en quelques semaines et peuvent être gérés en buvant beaucoup de liquides et en prenant du paracétamol ou de l’ibuprofène pour soulager la fièvre.

Cependant, si la rougeole se propage aux poumons ou au cerveau, elle peut provoquer une pneumonie, une méningite, la cécité et des convulsions.

Londres est actuellement le point chaud de l’épidémie de rougeole du pays avec 33 cas. Les enfants âgés de un à quatre ans sont les plus touchés.

La vulnérabilité de la capitale au virus a déjà été mise en évidence, jusqu’à un tiers des enfants de certains arrondissements étant partis sans leurs piqûres contre la rougeole.

Le Sud-Ouest et le Nord-Est, les prochaines régions les plus touchées, en ont détecté respectivement six et trois.

Deux cas ont été repérés dans chacun des East Midlands, du sud-est et de l’est de l’Angleterre, alors qu’il y en a un dans le nord-ouest.

Jusqu’à présent cette année, aucun cas n’a été repéré dans les West Midlands et dans le Yorkshire et le Humber.

Les experts ont déclaré que le pic en Angleterre se répercutait au niveau mondial après que les programmes de vaccination des enfants ont été interrompus par la pandémie de Covid.

Cela a entraîné l’importation de certains cas en Grande-Bretagne, un quart des cas détectés cette année étant importés d’autres pays, selon l’UKHSA.

Il a déclaré que les autres étaient le résultat d’une transmission communautaire en Angleterre même, y compris un groupe de cas liés à une épidémie scolaire.

À l’échelle nationale, 40 % des cas détectés jusqu’à présent en 2023 concernent des enfants de moins de cinq ans.

Le professeur Helen Bedford, experte en santé publique des enfants à l’University College de Londres, a déclaré que l’augmentation des cas était “inquiétante mais pas surprenante”.

Elle a déclaré: «Malheureusement, nous avons constaté une baisse de l’utilisation du vaccin ROR ces dernières années. L’adoption du vaccin ROR est maintenant inférieure à 90 %.

“La rougeole est si hautement contagieuse que même une petite baisse de la consommation peut entraîner des épidémies – nous devons maintenir la consommation de 95% de deux doses de vaccin ROR pour prévenir de telles épidémies.”

Le professeur Bedford a déclaré que Covid faisant de la rougeole une menace moins importante, une augmentation de la réticence à la vaccination et des pressions des médecins généralistes pourraient être à l’origine de la baisse de l’absorption.

Elle a déclaré: «Il peut y avoir une certaine hésitation à l’égard des vaccins, bien que des enquêtes menées par l’UKHSA et d’autres suggèrent que ce n’est pas une raison majeure au Royaume-Uni. Cependant, ces enquêtes ne saisissent souvent pas les points de vue de tout le monde, en particulier ceux qui ont des opinions anti-vaccin plus extrêmes.

Les données du NHS England publiées plus tôt cette année montrent que l'adoption du vaccin RRO a chuté à seulement 88,6% pour une dose chez les enfants de deux ans et à 85,5% pour les deux vaccins chez les enfants de cinq ans.

« Moins de visiteurs médicaux et de pression sur la médecine générale, contribuent probablement à la baisse de la couverture vaccinale. »

Les chefs de la santé exhortent désormais les parents de jeunes enfants, d’adolescents, ainsi que les adultes eux-mêmes, à vérifier qu’ils sont à jour sur la vaccination ROR.

Ils peuvent le faire en vérifiant le dossier de leur enfant livre rouge ou en contactant leur cabinet de médecin généraliste. Ceux qui ont manqué une dose ou les deux peuvent prendre rendez-vous avec leur médecin généraliste.

L’adoption du ROR a plongé ces dernières années, les données suggérant qu’un enfant de 2 ans sur 10 ne l’a pas eu, et près d’un enfant de 5 ans sur 6 est également absent.

Ce chiffre est bien inférieur à l’objectif de vaccination de 95 % fixé par l’Organisation mondiale de la santé, un niveau qui permet d’éviter que des cas isolés ne se transforment en épidémie.

Les données suggèrent que 20 millions de cas de rougeole et 4 500 décès au Royaume-Uni ont été évités depuis le déploiement du premier vaccin ciblant le virus en 1968.

Les parents peuvent vérifier les vaccinations ROR de leurs enfants en vérifiant leur carnet de vaccination dans leur livre rouge.

Toute personne qui n’a pas reçu deux doses du vaccin ROR peut contacter son médecin généraliste pour prendre rendez-vous.

Les symptômes de la rougeole comprennent une forte fièvre, des yeux larmoyants rouges et une éruption rouge-brun tachetée.

Bien que généralement bénigne, elle peut nécessiter une hospitalisation dans certains cas.

Les cas graves de rougeole peuvent entraîner une pneumonie, une méningite et même une invalidité à long terme ou la mort.

African Union ‘warmly congratulates’ Senegal’s Faye on presidential election win

Published

on

The African Union on Friday congratulated anti-establishment opposition candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye on his victory in Senegal’s presidential election and hailed the “unanimous acceptance of the results”.

Issued on: Modified:

1 min

In a statement, African Union Commission President Moussa Faki Mahamat said he “warmly congratulates” Faye on the official declaration of his first-round win, while wishing him “full success in his weighty and noble charge”.

According to provisional results, Faye won the first round of the vote outright with 54.3 percent, far ahead of incumbent Macky Sall’s hand-picked candidate, former prime minister Amadou Ba.

Senegal’s Constitutional Court could declare Faye the official winner before the weekend, which would make a handover possible before April 2, the official end of Sall’s term.

Faye, 44, was only freed from prison 10 days before the election, along with his mentor Ousmane Sonko, who was barred from running following a criminal conviction he says was politically motivated.

Nearly half of young people don’t realise buy now, pay later can get them in debt

Published

on

  • More than a third of young people use BNPL products at least once a month
  • They are the second most common form of borrowing among 18-34 year-olds
  • But many don’t realise that they could get into debt by paying in this way 

Advertisement

Nearly half of people aged between 18 and 34 don’t know that buy now, pay later lenders can add fees for missed payments, research claims.

Some 46 per cent of young people said they were unaware that they could get into debt by using BNPL products, compared with 35 per cent on average. 

The study by lender Creditspring also revealed that BNPL products are now the second most common form of borrowing among the younger generation.

While credit cards are still the most popular form of borrowing for young adults, with 19 per cent taking out these products, 15 per cent of 18 to 34 year-olds said they had taken out BNPL products for the first time since August last year.

This compares with 13 per cent of 35 to 54 year-olds, while among those over 55, only four per cent had started to use these products in the last six months.

Young people are by far the biggest users of BNPL services, with 36 per cent of 18 to 34-year-olds already using these products at least once a month, compared with just 20 per cent of 35 to 54-year-olds.

Neil Kadagathur, Creditspring chief executive and co-founder said: ‘The UK is sitting on a ticking BNPL timebomb – millions of young people are unknowingly putting their financial future at risk by piling up BNPL debt.

‘There is a huge knowledge gap when it comes to BNPL – this is driven by lenders who continue to offer a lack of transparency, confusing repayment terms and hidden costs. BNPL lenders need to step up and take responsibility for tackling the misconceptions that still exist about the risks of using these products,’ Kadagathur said.

Buy now, pay later products allow users to take out a loan for a specific purchase, which is then paid back in instalments. Often, these products offer an interest-free loan for an initial period.

However, these products are unregulated, and providers generally don’t run credit checks on users, meaning that those who are already financially vulnerable can find themselves racking up even more debt due to the high interest they are charged if they don’t pay the money back on time.

The lack of regulation of these products also means that users cannot complain to the Financial Ombudsman with their concerns, something which a massive 88 per cent of young people do not realise.

A fifth of young people, meanwhile, don’t know that BNPL is completely unregulated.

With the onset of the Covid pandemic and the cost of living crisis, BNPL has become an increasingly popular option, especially among younger generations, with products such as Klarna and Clearpay leading the industry.

In many cases though, those using these products are not aware that they are borrowing money in a similar way to using a credit card.

Only 37 per cent of young people say they can meet their BNPL debts without issue, compared with 60 per cent of those between 35 and 54.

Debt charity StepChange has warned that those with BNPL debts are three times as likely to be in problem debt compared with the average UK adult.

cost of living

StepChange head of communications Simon Trevethick said: ‘Our research reveals a worrying crossover between use of BNPL and financial hardship, but also that BNPL use is becoming much more common. 

‘With living costs stretching household budgets, there’s a concern that people are relying on credit like BNPL to make ends meet, which presents as more of a risk as it’s not regulated in the same way as other types of consumer credit.

‘With BNPL remaining unregulated, there’s a lack of consistency across the sector, meaning affordability checks can be patchy, as can consumer understanding.

‘Younger people who may have less financial experience can be more vulnerable to falling into problem debt after using BNPL – especially as at checkouts it’s not always clear that BNPL is a form of borrowing.’

Kadagathur added: ‘Regulation of BNPL is absolutely essential, and can’t come soon enough. 

‘Plans to bring the BNPL market to heel have been delayed for far too long, which has led to increased confusion and ultimately punished borrowers. The regulator needs to push through this much-needed legislation as a priority.’

‘Sorry, you can’t board, off you pop’: Traveller reveals how he was caught out by a post-Brexit passport rule and stopped from flying at the departure gate

Published

on

A British traveller has revealed how he was prevented from boarding a flight to France – because of a new post-Brexit passport regulation.

The journey through the airport for Nathan Barnes, who was travelling with his fiancé to visit family in Limoges, was normal enough to begin with. Having checked in online for the flights, he made his way through security without any hiccups.

But the 31-year-old paramedic from Norwich was stopped at the departure gate and told that because his passport was more than 10 years old – despite not having expired yet – he could not fly. 

‘They were very matter of fact about it. They just said, “Sorry, you can’t board, off you pop,”‘ Nathan told the BBC. ‘I was gutted, surprised really. We had checked in online and thought it was fine.’

Advertisement

The pernickety ’10-year rule’ has been brought in since Britain left the EU – and Nathan isn’t the only one who has fallen victim to it. Here, we’ve explained everything you need to know about this and other surprising passport regulations. Plus, you’ll find some handy travel tips on paying less for renewals and how to avoid scams.

DON’T GET CAUGHT OUT BY EU RULES

When travelling to the EU, British holidaymakers should be aware of the ’10-year rule’, and pay close attention to their passport’s issue date and expiry date

When travelling to the EU, a 10-year British passport is only valid for entry for exactly 10 years after the date of issue, regardless of the date of expiry.

Before September 2018, passport holders could have up to nine months added to their passport expiry date if they renewed their 10-year passport early. Post-Brexit, however, although the official validity of your passport may be beyond 10 years, the EU does not recognise these extra months if your passport is older than 10 years on the date that you enter the EU. On top of this, you must also have at least three months’ validity on your passport beyond the date you intend to leave the EU’s free-movement Schengen territory.

This means visitors must pay careful attention to the issue date and the expiry date.

Advertisement

For example, if you enter the EU from the UK on April 1, 2024, and return on April 5, 2024, you must have a passport issued less than 10 years before April 1, and that’s valid for at least three months after April 5.

To make sure you aren’t caught out, and for further details on EU passport rules, search for ‘documents you need for travel in Europe’ at home-affairs.ec.europa.eu or visit www.abta.com.

DO YOUR RESEARCH

Some holidaymakers have been unable to board their flights and trains due to confusion over EU passport rules  

Always check the specific entry requirements for the country you are visiting on the gov.uk website before travelling – the rules around passport validity vary from country to country.

For instance, while most countries such as Australia, Canada and the USA just need your passport to be valid for the length of your stay, other countries such as China, Thailand, Egypt and Turkey need at least six months. As previously mentioned, you will need at least three months’ validity on your passport from the intended day of departure from the EU.

COUNT YOUR BLANK PAGES

If your passport is filling up with stamps and there’s hardly any space left, you need to renew it – even if you’ve got several years left on it. This is because some countries can be fussy about passports with filled pages. For instance, Italy and South Africa require at least two full blank pages.

SAVE YOUR CASH

Travellers can apply online or by post to renew their passport - it can take up to three weeks to arrive

Travellers can apply online or by post to renew their passport – it can take up to three weeks to arrive 

There’s one simple way to save money when renewing your passport – apply for it online rather than post.

The current fee for a standard online application made from within the UK is £82.50 for adults and £53.50 for children. Postal applications, meanwhile, are £93 for adults and £64 for children. In general, how you choose to renew your passport could end up costing a family of four £40 more than it should.

However, in April, the cost is due to increase. A standard online application made from within the UK is due to rise to £88.50 for adults and £57.50 for children, while a standard postal application is due to increase to £100 for adults and £69 for children.

These price changes are still subject to parliamentary approval, but if given the green light, they’ll come into force from April 11.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?

Your passport will usually be issued within three weeks if you are applying within the UK, but customers are advised to apply in good time before travelling, according to gov.uk.

While it could take longer than three weeks, if the passport office needs more information, customers will be notified within these three weeks.

SHORT ON TIME?

If travellers are short on time, there are two ways to apply for an urgent passport

If travellers are short on time, there are two ways to apply for an urgent passport

If travellers are short on time, there are two ways to apply for an urgent passport 

There are two ways to apply for an urgent passport. The first is the ‘one-day Premium’ service, in which customers will be asked to book an appointment at their nearest passport office, apply and pay online. They will get their new passport at their appointment.

The second is the one-week’ fast track’ service, customers can book an appointment at their nearest passport office, apply and pay online, and a new passport is delivered to their home within the subsequent seven days, excluding bank holidays. You must act quickly, however, as passport office appointment slots – each lasting around 10 minutes – are snapped up quickly.

The one-day premium service will set you back £193.50 for an adult passport, while the one-week fast track service costs £155 for an adult passport.

If you need a passport to travel urgently for healthcare or because a loved one is seriously ill or has died, it’s recommended that you call the ‘Passport Adviceline’ instead.

SCAMS TO WATCH OUT FOR

In April last year, holidaymakers were warned to look out for fraudsters exploiting passport delays caused by industrial action by UK Passport Office workers by offering bogus ‘fast-track’ services.

The Chartered Trading Standards Institute (CTSI) warned that scammers were using increasingly sophisticated and convincing methods to trick travellers into paying for non-existent services.

The CTSI said it had seen a number of texts and emails offering speedy passport renewals, warning that victims could lose personal data to fraudsters as well as money.

CTSI chief executive John Herriman said: ‘As always, scammers are quick to leap on any opportunity to take advantage of uncertainty and upheaval. The exploitation of delays brought about by Passport Office strikes is just the latest example of scammers preying on people’s vulnerability.’

Rory Boland, Editor of Which? Travel, said: ‘Since we left the EU, the passport validity rules for UK citizens travelling to the EU and Schengen area have changed, and unfortunately a lot of people are getting caught out – sometimes even at the departure gate.

‘If you are in the process of booking a holiday, or are due to travel soon, make sure you check your passport as soon as possible, as there are two rules you need to bear in mind. You must have at least three months left on your passport when you plan to leave the EU, and crucially, when you enter, your passport must have been issued in the past ten years.

‘If you get caught out when you’re due to fly your options are sadly very limited, and it could prove to be a costly mistake, as travel insurance won’t cover you. If you realise shortly before your departure date, you might be able to get a last-minute priority passport appointment – but these are expensive, and there’s no guarantee your local office will have availability. You’ll also need to consider the costs of rebooking flights, and potentially accommodation and car hire as well.’

The great sweetener myth! Sugar replacements like aspartame and sucralose DON’T make you hungrier, scientists say

Published

We’re all after a guilt-free way of reaching for the biscuit tin.

Now scientists have suggested that swapping sugar for sweeteners in the treats could do the trick – and won’t leave you feeling hungrier.

Consuming food laden with sweeteners caused a similar reduction in appetite as sugary foods, the study found. The findings debunk a claim peddled by critics of artificial sweeteners, who have said the substances may make people hungrier.

Other benefits included lowering blood sugar, which is particularly significant for people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, they suggest.

We’re all after a guilt-free way of reaching for the biscuit tin. Now scientists have suggested that swapping sugar for sweeteners in the treats could do the trick – and won’t leave you feeling hungrier

While other studies on sweeteners have typically focused on drinks, researchers at the University of Leeds wanted to focus on food.

They looked at the effects of eating biscuits with either sugar or two types of food sweetener: natural sugar substitute Stevia, or artificial sweetener Neotame, which is derived from aspartame.

The trial consisted of three, two-week periods.

Participants – who were all overweight or obese – ate biscuits with either fruit filling containing sugar, the natural sugar substitute or artificial sweetener.

Blood samples were taken to establish baseline levels of glucose, insulin and appetite-related hormones and they were also asked to rate their appetite and food preferences.

After eating the biscuits, they were asked to rate how full they felt over several hours.

Glucose and insulin levels were measured, as were ghrelin, glucagon-like peptide 1 and pancreatic polypeptide – hormones associated with the consumption of food.

The results from the two sweetener types showed no differences in appetite or endocrine responses compared to sugar.

But insulin levels measured over two hours after eating were reduced, as were blood sugar levels, according to the findings published in The Lancet eBioMedicine.

It is the latest study to be published by the SWEET consortium of 29 European research, consumer and industry partners which is working to develop and review evidence on long term benefits and potential risks involved in switching to artificial sweeteners.

Professor Graham Finlayson, principal investigator and of the University of Leeds’ School of Psychology, said: ‘The use of sweeteners and sweetness enhancers has received a lot of negative attention, including high profile publications linking their consumption with impaired glycaemic response, toxicological damage to DNA and increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

‘These reports contribute to the current befuddlement concerning the safety of sweeteners and sweetness enhancers among the general public and especially people at risk of metabolic diseases.

‘Our study provides crucial evidence supporting the day-to-day use of sweeteners and sweetness enhancers for body weight and blood sugar control.’

SWEET project joint co-ordinator Professor Anne Raben, from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, said: ‘The findings show that sweeteners are a helpful tool to reduce intake of added sugar without leading to a compensatory increase in appetite or energy intake, thereby supporting the usefulness of sweeteners for appetite, energy and weight management.’

Israeli strike kills at least 36 Syrian soldiers near Aleppo

Published

on

Gaza’s health ministry collects data from the enclave’s hospitals and the Palestinian Red Crescent.

The health ministry does not report how Palestinians were killed, whether from Israeli airstrikes and artillery barrages or errant Palestinian rocket fire. It describes all casualties as victims of “Israeli aggression”.

The ministry also does not distinguish between civilians and combatants. 

Throughout four wars and numerous skirmishes between Israel and Hamas, UN agencies have cited the Hamas-run health ministry’s death tolls in regular reports. The International Committee of the Red Cross and Palestinian Red Crescent also use the numbers.

In the aftermath of war, the UN humanitarian office has published final death tolls based on its own research into medical records. The UN’s counts have largely been consistent with the Gaza health ministry’s, with small discrepancies.

Patrick Mahomes is best known for his throwing skills but it turns out that when it comes to fishing, he’s pretty good at making a catch as well.

The Chiefs quarterback’s wife Brittany shared a hilarious picture on Instagram on Thursday night of Mahomes showing his three-year-old daughter Sterling a huge catfish that he had appeared to have caught.

Sterling didn’t look too impressed with her famous father, much to Brittany’s amusement on her Instagram post.

‘Ster not a fan of a fish the same size as her,’ Brittany wrote, alongside a crying-with-laughter emoji.

The Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in Las Vegas in February and will return next season with a shot at recording an unprecedented ‘three-peat’.

While Mahomes has been fishing, his Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce has been hitting the golf course.

He was filmed by former NBA player Chandler Parsons celebrating a shot by playing air guitar with his iron while girlfriend Taylor Swift’s ‘Bad Blood’ blasted out.

Recently, Mahomes and Kelce announced that they are launching a steakhouse in Kansas City, which they anticipate will open in January 2025.

It will be called ‘1587 Prime’ – the number coming from combining the numbers of Kelce and Mahomes’ Chiefs jerseys.

Me and Travis been working on it for a while,’ Mahomes said, according to Fox4KC. 

‘We always see these restaurants and we have a love for bringing people together. I think the biggest thing for us is we’re gonna do whatever we can to keep bringing people together and what better place than Kansas City?’

‘Hopefully we can win some games at Arrowhead Stadium and then we get to go over and have a few drinks and food with it.’

And if 1587 Prime decides to have fish on the menu, Mahomes appears well equipped to provide it himself.

Russia veto ends UN monitoring of N.Korea sanctions after arms transfer probe

Published

Russia on Thursday blocked the renewal of a panel of UN experts monitoring international sanctions on North Korea, weeks after the body said it was investigating reports of arms transfers between Moscow and Pyongyang.

Issued on:

2 min

The move was met with a flurry of criticism, including by South Korea’s foreign ministry, which said Russia had made an “irresponsible decision” despite its status as a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

The United States called the veto by Moscow a “self-interested effort to bury the panel’s reporting on its own collusion” with North Korea.

“Russia’s actions today have cynically undermined international peace and security, all to advance the corrupt bargain that Moscow has struck with the DPRK,” State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said, referring to the North by its official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba took to social media to call the veto “a guilty plea,” amid allegations that Pyongyang is aiding Moscow in its war against Kyiv.

Moscow’s veto at the Security Council does not remove the sanctions on North Korea, but spells the end for the group monitoring their implementation — and myriad alleged violations.

The panel’s mandate expires at the end of April.

North Korea has been under mounting sanctions since 2006, put in place by the UN Security Council in response to its nuclear program.

Since 2019, Russia and China have tried to persuade the Security Council to ease the sanctions, which had no expiration date.

The council has long been divided on the issue, with China’s deputy ambassador Geng Shuang arguing Thursday that the sanctions “have exacerbated tensions and confrontation with a serious negative impact on the humanitarian situation.”

China abstained rather than joining Russia in the veto. All other members had voted in favor of renewing the expert panel.

Russia’s UN envoy Vasily Nebenzia said that without an annual review guaranteed to assess and potentially modify the sanctions, the panel was unjustified.

“The panel has continued to focus on trivial matters that are not commensurate with the problems facing the peninsula,” Nebenzia said.

“Russia has called for the council to adopt a decision to hold an open and honest review of the Council sanctions… on an annual basis.”

Continued tests 

Additional Security Council sanctions were leveled on Pyongyang in 2016 and 2017, but the North’s sanctioned nuclear and weapons development have continued.

Last week, Pyongyang tested a solid-fuel engine for a “new-type intermediate-range hypersonic missile,” state media reported.

Recent cruise missile launches have prompted speculation that North Korea is testing those weapons before shipping them to Moscow for use in Ukraine.

In its latest report, issued at the beginning of March, the sanctions panel reported that North Korea “continued to flout” sanctions, including by launching ballistic missiles and breaching oil import limits.

It added that it is investigating reports of arms shipments from Pyongyang to Russia for use in Ukraine.

In August, Russia used its veto to end the mandate of a group of UN experts on Mali who charged that Moscow-linked Wagner mercenaries were involved in widespread abuses.

“We have now seen Russia use its veto to end two panels of experts due to its expanding military relationships,” the United States, France, Japan, South Korea and Britain said in a joint statement.

In a separate statement, 10 Security Council members, including Britain, France and the United States, defended the sanction monitors’ work.

“In the face of these repeated attempts to undermine international peace and security, the panel’s work is more important now than ever before,” it said.

Outrage as Saudi Arabia is chosen to lead UN women’s rights group – despite ‘abysmal’ record on equality in kingdom where wives can be stoned to death for adultery

Published

  • Saudia Arabia is now chairing the UN’s Commission on the Status of Women
  • The group is dedicated to furthering the rights of women across the world 
  • But Saudi Arabia has a shocking gender equality record

Human rights groups are up in arms after Saudi Arabia won an unopposed bid to lead a top UN women’s right group, despite its own ‘abysmal’ record of gender equality. 

Saudi Arabia’s envoy to the UN, Abdulaziz Alwasil, was elected as chair of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) in a completely unopposed race at the group’s annual meeting in New York on Wednesday. 

Alwasil was elected with no dissent from any of the 45 members present at the meeting, and will hold the post for at least two years. 

He was even endorsed by a group of Asia-Pacific states on the commission, despite his nation’s notorious record on gender equality, which human rights groups were quick to point out. 

Sherine Tadros, the head of the New York office of Amnesty International, said Saudi Arabia will be chair of the CSW on the 30th anniversary of the passing of a landmark piece of international law that massively advanced the rights of women across the world.

‘Whoever is in the chair, which is now Saudi Arabia, is in a key position to influence the planning, the decisions, the taking stock, and looking ahead, in a critical year for the commission,’ Tadros said.

‘Saudi Arabia is now at the helm, but Saudi Arabia’s own record on women’s rights is abysmal, and a far cry from the mandate of the commission.’

Louis Charbonneau, UN director at the Human Rights Watch (HRW), added: ‘Saudi Arabia’s election as chair of the UN Commission on the Status of Women shows shocking disregard for women’s rights everywhere.  

‘A country that jails women simply because they advocate for their rights has no business being the face of the UN’s top forum for women’s rights and gender equality. 

‘Saudi authorities should demonstrate that this honor was not completely undeserved and immediately release all detained women’s rights defenders, end male guardianship and ensure women’s full rights to equality with men.’

Saudi lawmakers passed a law in 2022 that claims to have increased the ‘personal status’ of women in the nation. 

But the law explicitly says that a woman has to obtain permission from a male guardian to marry.

It also says that a wife has to obey her husband in a ‘reasonable manner’, and states that her husband’s financial support depends on her ‘obedience.’

A husband can withdraw financial support for reasons including refusing to have sex with him, live in a marital home or travel with him without a ‘legitimate excuse.’

Human Rights Watch pointed out that a woman who leaves the marital home can lose custody of her child if the child’s ‘best interest,’ which is undefined, necessitates it.

The UK’s Foreign Office told the Guardian that it is not a member of the Commission on the Status of Women, and therefore didn’t have a role to play in the selection of the chair. 

It added: ‘We continue to engage closely with the Saudi authorities on women’s rights issues.’

Macron, Lula show unity on global issues despite Ukraine shadow

Published

on

French President Emmanuel Macron and his Brazilian counterpart Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Thursday displayed their unity on major global issues, while skirting differences on the war in Ukraine.

Issued on:

3 min

Macron wrapped up his three-day tour of the Latin American giant with a solemn, but warm, trip to the presidential palace in the modernist capital Brasilia.

The French leader paid tribute to “the spirit of resistance” of Lula’s government for “restoring democracy” after a crowd of extreme-right supporters of former president Jair Bolsonaro stormed the seats of power in the city in January 2023.

Lula hailed a relationship between the two countries as one that created “a bridge between the global South and the developed world.”

While the two men firmly reset the frosty ties of the Bolsonaro years, they retain deep differences over the war in Ukraine, a subject which only briefly reared its head.

While France and the West support Kyiv wholeheartedly, Lula has in the past said that Ukraine and Russia share responsibility over the conflict and has refused to isolate Moscow.

Putin at G20 meet? 

Responding to a question from a journalist, Macron said that Brazil, as the current chair of the G20, could invite Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to a summit in Rio de Janeiro in November if other members agreed.

“The meaning of this club is that there must be consensus with the 19 others. That will be a job for Brazilian diplomacy,” he said.

If such a meeting can be “useful, it must be done,” Macron said.

Lula responded only that “diversity” must be accepted in organisations like the G20.

Putin missed last year’s G20 summit in the Indian capital New Delhi, avoiding possible political opprobrium and any risk of criminal detention under an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant.

In September 2023, Lula said there was “no way” that Putin would be arrested if he attended the Rio de Janeiro summit.

Shortly after, he backtracked and said that it would be up to the justice system to decide on Putin’s eventual arrest and not his government.

Lula’s only remarks on the conflict were that “the two stubborn” leaders will “have to get along,” referring to Putin and Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Unity on Venezuela 

However, he highlighted that Ukraine was not Brazil’s priority, and turned to a crisis in his own neighborhood, that he and Macron agreed upon: Venezuela.

Both leaders condemned the exclusion of the main opposition coalition’s chosen candidate, Corina Yoris, 80, from July 28 elections.

“We very firmly condemn the exclusion of a serious and credible candidate from this process,” Macron said.

Lula described the situation as “serious” and said there was “no legal or political explanation for banning an opponent from being a candidate.”

“I told Maduro that the most important thing to restore normality in Venezuela was to avoid any problems in the electoral process, that the elections be held in the most democratic way possible.”

From the protection of the Amazon to cooperation in the building of submarines and economic ties, the two leaders showed off the broad Franco-Brazilian partnership over the three-day visit.

Macron and Lula also brushed over tensions about the long-delayed EU-Mercosur free trade agreement, which Brazil has pushed for and France has blocked.

Macron blasted the deal as “a really bad agreement” and said it should be buried in favor of a new one that “is responsible from a development, climate and biodiversity point of view.”

Lula said he was “very calm” and noted only that Brazil “does not negotiate with France” but with the EU.

The two leaders’ close relationship was highlighted by a warm meeting in the Amazon, in which they were pictured beaming and clasping hands, to the delight of Brazilians who spawned a raft of memes comparing the images to a wedding album.

Dogs can detect onset of PTSD flashbacks in BREATH with over 70% accuracy, study shows

Published

on

Is there anything a good dog can’t do? New research continues to discover new benefits to cognitive health, stress relief, allergy reduction and more — all accruing to the grateful owner of a faithful pooch.

Now a new study has found evidence that our canine companions can identify when someone is experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) just by smell.

Canadian scientists ran two skilled and disciplined dogs, Ivy and Callie, through a battery of scent-based lab tests, finding that both dogs could differentiate between stressed out PTSD sweat and ordinary human sweat with 90 percent accuracy.

The dogs also fared well smelling isolated samples that they did not have the chance to compare and contrast: Ivy managed 74 percent and Callie 81 percent accuracy.

‘Both Ivy and Callie found this work inherently motivating,’ the study’s lead author said. ‘Their limitless appetite for delicious treats was also an asset.’

‘It was much harder to convince them to take a break than to commence work,’ lead author Laura Kiiroja, a doctoral candidate with the department of psychology and neuroscience at Canada’s Dalhousie University, said in a statement. 

‘Callie in particular made sure there was no dilly-dallying.’

Each human produces what the researchers described as a ‘scent profile’ of volatile organic compounds (VOCs): molecules produced by the human body that vaporize at ordinary room temperature, including isoprene and monoterpenes.

Prior to Kiiroja and her colleagues’ new study, it was already well known that dogs can detect VOCs in human breath, urine and sweat — and especially breath.

These myriad VOCs secreted by the human body can prove to be evidence of traits related to age, diet, genetics, life activities and mood, like stress level. 

But, according to Kiiroja, no prior studies had looked into whether or not dogs could be trained to detect VOCs linked to episodes of PTSD, be they from flashbacks or more mild triggers. 

‘PTSD service dogs are already trained to assist people during episodes of distress,’ Kiiroja said. ‘However, dogs are currently trained to respond to behavioral and physical cues.’ 

‘Our study,’ she said, ‘showed that at least some dogs can also detect these episodes via breath.’

Not unlike law enforcement’s quest for truly talented bomb-sniffing dogs, a star search of 25 canine candidates was conducted to see which could be trained in scent detection.

Ivy and Callie proved to be the best for the Dalhousie researchers’ work.

The team also recruited 26 human volunteers as ‘scent donors’ for the new study, which was published Thursday in the journal Frontiers in Allergy.

Every participant was sourced from another study investigating how people with experience of trauma react to reminders of that trauma. 

A slim majority of that study’s volunteers, 54 percent, met the diagnostically testable medical definition of PTSD. 

These volunteers donated their scents by sitting in on therapy sessions where they were reminded of their past traumatic experiences, while they breathed into a protective facemask. Those facemasks, and masks from their more trauma-free sessions, were then deposited into individual glass storage containers for the dog experiments later on.

These volunteers were also asked to fill out surveys on their feelings and stress level.

The team’s experimental PTSD-sniffing dogs, Ivy and Callie, were then trained off of both the ‘calm breath’ control facemasks and the PTSD-stressed test facemasks.

But the key tests were whether the dogs could detect stress from scents without having the ‘multiple choice’ option of two different human odors to choose from.

The tests were double blind, meaning neither the dog nor the person conducting the experiment knew which scents were being used. Only another researcher had that knowledge. 

Ivy proved to be about equal at detecting both positive samples (76.19 percent accuracy) and negative samples (71.43 percent accuracy) of anything she was asked to look for.

Callie proved much better at identifying negative samples (90.48 percent accuracy) compared to positive samples in (71.43 percent accuracy) in these trials.

Most importantly, however, once either of the dogs got good at detecting a specific volunteer’s scene, that knowledge appeared to stick with them from test to test.

‘This is a multidisciplinary collaboration between Dr. Sherry Stewart’s clinical psychology lab and Dr. Simon Gadbois’ canine olfaction lab, both at Dalhousie University,’ Kiiroja noted. 

‘Neither lab could have done this work on their own. We brought together two distinct sets of expertise.’ 

Outside observers voiced an interest in further study into what the exact chemicals and human hormones produced by humans experiencing PTSD actually are.

‘The study underscores the need for larger-scale research,’ according to the site Neuroscience News, ‘[to] explore the specific hormonal pathways dogs may be responding to in stressed breath samples.’
