Troubled UK property funds see outflows ease as election result calms investors
The Evolution Of ESG Factors In Credit Risk Assessment: Corporate Governance
Author Cathal McElroy
Investors in open-ended U.K. property funds, which allow day-to-day investments and withdrawals, appear to have been reassured by the Dec. 12 election of a majority Conservative government as net outflows from the funds have since eased considerably.
In the three working days prior to the confirmation that the Conservative Party had won a healthy parliamentary majority, net outflows from U.K. property funds amounted to almost £75 million, according to data from Calastone Ltd, which monitors the funds' performance. The three working days following the result's announcement saw net outflows of about £23 million. The stemming of losses follows 14 consecutive months of net outflows from U.K. open-ended property funds, Calastone said.
The surge in withdrawals ahead of the election followed the third-worst month of 2019 for outflows from the funds, when in November more than £250 million was withdrawn by investors, Calastone data showed. The weight of outflows prompted the suspension of M&G Real Estate U.K. Property Portfolio fund Dec. 4. In the two days following the suspension of M&G's fund, investors withdrew almost £100 million from other U.K. open-ended property funds, Calastone data showed.
"It's been less awful since the election," Edward Glyn, managing director and head of global markets at Calastone, said in an interview. "Although we continue to see outflows in the days after the election, it is a lot less marked than in previous days."
The election result has provided investors with greater certainty on the U.K.'s future relationship with the European Union, which has been unresolved since the country voted to leave the EU in 2016. The vote also ended the prospect of a Labour government, which promised to implement a raft of socialist policies seen as less friendly to business and investors.
While net outflows in U.K. property funds eased in response to the re-election of the Boris Johnson-led Conservative government, their performance paled in comparison to other U.K. equity funds, Calastone data showed. More than £138 million poured into non-real estate U.K. equity funds Dec. 13, the day the election result was announced, the data showed. This was the largest single-day inflow recorded in 2019, Glyn said.
Investors 'piling back in'
"Investors seem to have come off the sidelines and are now piling money back into U.K. equities, which many of us think have been somewhat undervalued for quite a long time anyway," he added.
Investors' unwillingness to show similar faith in U.K. property funds in response to the election result may be due to a number of factors. The suspensions of both the M&G fund and Woodford Investment Management Ltd.'s Equity Income fund in recent months have raised doubts among investors about the security of open-ended structures generally, but particularly for property, which is a highly illiquid asset, Duncan Scorey, director, private capital and fixed income at investment adviser Capital Generation Partners LLP, said.
"It seems to be a model that will work most of the time, but it has some structural weaknesses," said Scorey. "When you get a moment of stress, the problems can pile up pretty quickly."
The M&G and Woodford suspensions in 2019 came three years after seven of the U.K.'s largest open-ended property funds suspended trading in the aftermath of the 2016 Brexit referendum. The Financial Conduct Authority moved to tighten the rules around the suspension of U.K. open-ended funds earlier this year. Some industry bodies have criticized the FCA's response as too weak.
The weight of retail property held by many of the U.K.'s open-ended property funds is likely another source for some investors' concern, Scorey said. The growing penetration of e-commerce particularly has plunged the U.K. retail sector into a prolonged period of turbulence, with retailer insolvencies leading to widespread store closures, slashed rents and collapsing property values. M&G cited in a statement announcing the suspension of its fund "ongoing structural shifts in the U.K. retail sector [that] have made it difficult for [it] to sell commercial property," along with Brexit-related uncertainty.
'Bad news'
"If you look at the last six to 12 months, there has been a steady stream of bad news coming from the retail sector, with various medium and large retailers failing. And I think that's gradually sort of worn people down and made people incrementally more careful," said Scorey.
Retail property accounted for 33.7% of M&G's U.K. Property Portfolio fund's total value, minus cash holdings. Of the 11 other U.K. open-ended property funds that invest in retail property, and for which a breakdown of their portfolio is available, four hold retail property that accounts for 30% or more of their entire portfolio value, minus cash. One fund, Aberdeen U.K. Property, holds retail assets that account for 47% of its total value, minus cash.
Open-ended fund structures tend to attract smaller retail investors who may not have the expertise and knowledge to properly assess the performance of the retail property held by these funds, said Scorey. "Not all retail is bad," he said. "A few bad stories in the press could be enough to whip up worry pretty quickly, and it becomes a bit of a self-fulfilling process whereby a very manageable outflow gets amplified."

Significant thunderstorm activity and heavy precipitation hampered containment work overnight. Today, firefighters will work to mop up the western side of the fire, carefully checking firelines for any heat or hazards near the edge that might compromise containment. On the northeastern side of the fire, crews will continue direct line construction, suppressing the fire directly adjacent to its edge. The fire west of County Road 1 hasn't moved for multiple days, and crews continue to mop up and patrol the area. Several crews have been staying overnight in the Pepperdine Campground to lessen the drive to the fire, and they will continue working directly on the fires' edge, using natural barriers to stop fire spread in the Wilderness. Neither the Campground nor the private properties around Tom Lee Meadows sustained damage.
Low pressure in northern California is keeping monsoonal moisture and thunderstorms in the area. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected in the afternoon and evening. Heavy rain, and hail, accompanied by abundant lightning and gusty outflow winds are possible through this evening. A drier trend is expected to begin on Friday.
A Forest Closure remains in effect for the fire area. The full text of the Closure and a map are available on the Modoc National Forest website at https://goo.gl/t9gKKP.

Donor cards are no longer distributed in Ontario and those wishing to show their consent to donation are encouraged to register. For more information, click on the button below.
Modern medicine and improved surgical techniques have increased survival rates for recipients but the need for organs and tissues remains greater than ever. That's why so many people have to wait for a life-saving organ transplant – and why some people die before a suitable organ can be found.
Anyone regardless of age, race or religion can donate organs and tissues. The age and health of a donor are not as important as the condition of the donor's organs and tissues. Let the Doctors decide!
Once you've shared your wishes with your family, sign up on the donor registry. It must be completed legally. In most provinces, there is a donor registry linked to the Health Ministry. To sign up you will need your Health Card. If you do not have access to a computer printed forms are available. The old paper cards are not legal in some Provinces.

Philippine Supreme Court Jurisprudence > Year 1949 > November 1949 Decisions > G.R. No. L-2075 November 29, 1949 - MARGARITA AFIALDA v. BASILIO HISOLE, ET AL
EN BANC
MARGARITA AFIALDA, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. BASILIO HISOLE and FRANCISCO HISOLE, Defendants-Appellees.
Nicolas P. Nonato for Appellant.
Gellada, Mirasol & Ravena for Appellees.
1. DAMAGES; LIABILITY OF OWNER OF ANIMAL FOR DAMAGE CAUSED TO ITS CARETAKER. — Under article 1905 of the Civil Code, the owner of an animal is not liable for injury caused by it to its caretaker.
This is an action for damages arising from injury caused by an animal. The complaint alleges that the now deceased, Loreto Afialda, was employed by the defendant spouses as caretaker of their carabaos at a fixed compensation; that while tending the animals he was, on March 21, 1947, gored by one of them and later died as a consequence of his injuries; that the mishap was due neither to his own fault nor to force majeure; and that plaintiff is his elder sister and heir depending upon him for support.
Before filing their answer, defendants moved for the dismissal of the complaint for lack of a cause of action, and the motion having been granted by the lower court, plaintiff has taken this appeal.
Plaintiff seeks to hold defendants liable under article 1905 of the Civil Code, which reads:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"The possessor of an animal, or the one who uses the same, is liable for any damages it may cause, even if such animal should escape from him or stray away.
"This liability shall cease only in case the damage should arise from force majeure or from the fault of the person who may have suffered it."cralaw virtua1aw library
The question presented is whether the owner of the animal is liable when the damage is caused to its caretaker.
The lower court took the view that under the above-quoted provision of the Civil Code, the owner of an animal is answerable only for damages caused to a stranger, and that for damage caused to the caretaker of the animal the owner would be liable only if he had been negligent or at fault under article 1902 of the same code. Claiming that the lower court was in error, counsel for plaintiff contends that article 1905 does not distinguish between damage caused to a stranger and damage caused to the caretaker and makes the owner liable whether or not he has been negligent or at fault. For authority counsel cites the following opinion which Manresa quotes from a decision of the Spanish Supreme Court:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"El articulo 1905 del Codigo Civil no consiente otra interpretacion que la que, clara y evidentemente, se deriva de sus terminos literales, bastando, segun el mismo, que un animal cause perjuicio para que nazca la responsibilidad del dueño, aun no imputandose a este ninguna clase de culpa o negligencia, habida, sin duda, cuenta por el legislador de que tal concepto de dueño es suficiente para que arrastre las consecuencias favorables o adversas de esta clase de propiedad, salvo la excepcion en el mismo contenida." (12 Manresa, Commentaries on the Spanish Civil Code, 573.)
This opinion, however, appears to have been rendered in a case where an animal caused injury to a stranger or third person. It is therefore no authority for a case like the present where the person injured was the caretaker of the animal. The distinction is important. For the statute names the possessor or user of the animal as the person liable for "any damages it may cause," and this for the obvious reason that the possessor or user has the custody and control of the animal and is therefore the one in a position to prevent it from causing damage.
In the present case, the animal was in the custody and under the control of the caretaker, who was paid for his work as such. Obviously, it was the caretaker's business to try to prevent the animal from causing injury or damage to anyone, including himself. And being injured by the animal under those circumstances, was one of the risks of the occupation which he had voluntarily assumed and for which he must take the consequences.
In a decision of the Spanish Supreme Court, cited by Manresa in his Commentaries (Vol. 12, p. 578), the death of an employee who was bitten by a feline which his master had asked him to take to his establishment was by said tribunal declared to be "a veritable accident of labor" which should come under the labor laws rather than under article 1905 of the Civil Code. The present action, however, is not brought under the Workmen's Compensation Act, there being no allegation that, among other things, defendants' business, whatever that might be, had a gross income of P20,000. As already stated, defendants' liability is made to rest on article 1905 of the Civil Code. But action under that article is not tenable for the reasons already stated. On the other hand, if action is to be based on article 1902 of the Civil Code, it is essential that there be fault or negligence on the part of the defendants as owners of the animal that caused the damage. But the complaint contains no allegation on those points.
There being no reversible error in the order appealed from, the same is hereby affirmed, but without costs in view of the financial situation of the Appellant.

Transitions To Large Format - part 1 of 1 2
by Paul Gallagher Published 01/10/2006
Paul Gallagher produces fine art limited edition prints for sale under his own name and is represented in galleries throughout the UK. His wife, Michele, a qualified photographer in her own right, acts as his agent. With a degree in geology and an initial training at Art College he is well placed to work and create in the landscape. He shot to national prominence when being filmed for an ITV documentary feature about his other job, in the Environmental Agency, called, Dumping on Britain. The camera crew passed on their observations to the producer about his photography and this suddenly became a significant part of the documentary. It has been followed by an appearance on Trevor MacDonald's evening programme and yet more invites to speak and exhibit. Paul is presently represented by 17 galleries.
I started photography, as many do, when I was just leaving school. Whilst at Art College, I would use any battered camera that I could get my hands on until I was given my father's Olympus OM20. At this time I was being handed projects such as, "Go out today and find photographs that contain vertical emphasis", or, "Collect a series of images showing texture and form". Even at this time I knew that this was my grounding for photography and the lecturers were endeavouring to teach me to 'see' as apposed to simply 'looking'.
I spent many a day trawling the streets of Southport in Lancashire shooting roll after roll of FP4 and FP5 then heading back to the darkroom to process and print. All this was to take a sudden 'U' turn when I discovered the books of Ansel Adams. Firstly, it was not just the fantastic grandeur of the Yosemite National Park or the pictorial nature of the photographs that captivated me, but the tonal rendition and critically sharp reproduction of the scene. I now felt I had a bench mark, a standard to aspire to.
At the tender age of sixteen I was not able to afford the large format equipment so I made best with what I could, aiming for the finest, slowest emulsions available. I settled with Kodak Technical Pan (which sadly has just gone out of production) and I could see that although other films I had used gave good results, this was in a league of its own. At this time I had my first car and began trips to quieter locations in the countryside where I could spend time on what I wanted to photograph, landscapes. I spent many a month learning to push the quality of this film/camera combination which gave me great satisfaction, but when I revisited the books of large format landscape pioneers it became more apparent that 35mm was not going to satisfy me.
I decided that the only way to get the camera I wanted was to offer for sale my treasured and very genuine set of Beatles autographs. Yes, this meant that much!! After a decisive moment bartering in the office of an official collector, the funds were released and within a week I was the proud owner of the tank-like Mamiya RB67. Because of the increase in negative size I was able to leave the 25 ASA film alone and began using Ilford's Delta 100. The transition in image quality and definition was astounding to me and I became adept in the use of this monster piece of gear. Essentially this is regarded by many as a studio camera and considering its weight you can see why. Not to mention the weight of the tripod that prevents it blowing around on a breezy day!
I spent years and shot hundreds of rolls of film using this camera, and I can say with complete confidence that it never let me down once. Because I was using the same camera, lenses and film for such a period it became second nature to me. To stop the car and set up to catch a particular frame was a smooth, orchestrated manoeuvre. I had a system that I became completely reliant upon. In fact many of these images collected over the years formed the large part of my successful Associateship Panel of photographs submitted to the Royal Photographic Society. But further changes were afoot.

In countries like Bangladesh, community-based health insurances (CBHI) set up with voluntary contributions can help cover unforeseen healthcare cost for low-income informal workers like rickshaw pullers, shopkeepers and day labourers.
However, informal workers having high health risk are more likely to subscribe to these CBHIs, which is a potential challenge for these schemes to keep supporting them sustainably, indicates an icddr,b study published in International Journal of Environment Research and Public Health.
"When too many individuals with higher healthcare requirements subscribe to these schemes, they may naturally become unsustainable as soon as they begin to reimburse health bills altogether," says Mr Sayem Ahmed, assistant scientist working with health economics and financing research group at icddr,b and an author of the study supported by Grand Challenges Canada.
"The schemes need to be carefully designed considering involvement of a larger pool to ensure sustainability and introduce waiting periods before drawing health bills for the first time," he adds.
CBHI schemes are considered an interim measure towards Social Health Insurance to ensure financial protection for informal workers, who are otherwise not covered for healthcare costs, according to the Health Care Financing Strategy 2012–2032 of the Government of Bangladesh. The strategy paves way to achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC) for Bangladesh.
As observed on this World Health Day, the core idea of UHC is reiterated by the slogan "Health for All," which is making health systems equitable and quality healthcare available for people from all economic strata, according to World Health Organization (WHO).
"The challenge of CBHIs mentioned by the study may be a real challenge for achieving UHC in Bangladesh because informal workers constitute a large population and they are among the most disadvantaged in terms of securing health benefits, while contribute largely to the economy of the nation," says Dr Jahangir A M Khan, senior lecturer in health economics at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) and senior author of the study.
People belonging to disadvantaged groups often end up paying big chunks from their monthly income for healthcare, especially for medications and towards physician fees. Such out-of-pocket expenditure becomes a high health burden when these groups are not sustainably covered by health insurances.
Similar findings by icddr,b researchers have earlier shown that relatively economically disadvantaged populations in Bangladesh have the greatest need for healthcare, but are most likely to receive the least benefit.
Such disparity remains a challenge for the equitable healthcare system envisaged by UHC although Bangladesh has made much progress to reform its health system, service delivery and improved many health indicators. The researchers feel that with the current improvements, sustainability is a must in health financing schemes to ensure "Health for All".

Visit to Malaysia
Professor Carlos A Brebbia, Director of Wessex Institute of Technology (WIT), recently visited the Technical University of Malaysia (UTM) in Johor Bahru to discuss possible collaboration with different authorities and colleagues. The Vice Chancellor, Professor Datu Ir. Dr.Zaini Ujang, described his overall strategy and aim of making UTM a major research university and increasing its international presence. Professor Brebbia commented that WIT is a research and development institution with strong links with industry, all qualities that can help, in a modest way, UTM to reach its goals.
During his visit, Professor Brebbia met with several Heads of Division and Faculties, including that of Civil Engineering and the Environmental Engineering Institute where he gave a talk on the research carried out at Ashurst Lodge on the modelling of different problems related to air and water pollution as well as soil contamination, radiation from electrical sources and others.
A particularly interesting application for the region was the description of plate tectonic movements, carried out by the Damage Mechanics Division at WIT. This work, based on the World Stress database, can be useful to locate critical parts of the earthquake and consequent Tsunamis. Preliminary results have been obtained to explain the location of the epicentre in the case of the 2004 Sumatra Tsunami and the subsequent earthquake a few months later. These studies could have important applications in Malaysia and the surrounding region in view of the instability in the local plates and in particular the Sundra trench.
Professor Brebbia also commented on the significant advances made in boundary elements for the simulation of fracture mechanics problems and in particular crack propagation. He pointed out that some of the work was initiated by Professor Abdul Latif Saleh who is now Head of the Structural Group at UTM and obtained a PhD at WIT more than ten years ago. Abdul Latif's thesis was a milestone in this work and because of that, has been published in book form by WIT Press.
Professor Brebbia finished his talk by describing the new facilities at WIT at the Ashurst Lodge Campus. The accommodation is now second to none with the added advantage of the Institute being located in the New Forest National Park, an area of outstanding beauty.
During his visit, Professor Brebbia held numerous discussions with members of UTM staff and many PhD students.
The visit was most successful and it is hoped that it will lead to further collaboration between the two institutions, the Technical University of Malaysia and the Wessex Institute of Technology.

Finally, a Woman Leader Speaks at the UN General Assembly Debate: Slovakia
Day two of the UN General Assembly Debates, and three women spoke, but not until after the 50th slot. Read the recap.
by Sonah Lee. Read more on PassBlue.
President Zuzana Caputova of Slovakia was the first woman to speak at the opening of the 75th General Assembly session, more than 50 speakers in. The dearth of women speaking at the virtual gathering generated lament if not outrage on social media sites. JOHN PENNEY
A pre-recorded statement from Bosnia and Herzegovina's President Sefik Dzaferovic kicked off Day 2 of the 75th General Assembly, and like many other world leaders, he called for heightened multilateralism amid today's pandemic and global conflicts.
Simultaneously, for the first hour of the day, a Unicef-sponsored virtual event about protecting future generations from the Covid-19 crisis that featured K-pop's most-popular group, BTS, dominated Twitter and YouTube chatter. In contrast to the overarching global issues world leaders have been speaking to, Unicef and BTS focused on a softer angle of the coronavirus epidemic: the mental health effects of the pandemic and how it is affecting youth.
Back in the mostly empty General Assembly Hall on Sept. 23, nearly all leaders began their virtually broadcasted statements highlighting the impacts of the pandemic in their own countries and the world. Generally, the Middle East and southeast European regions focused heavily on antiterrorism efforts, combating extremism or how they are dealing with refugee and migration problems.
African nations, Scandinavian and central and northern European countries spoke strongly about the need for UN member states to work together to face current challenges.
Here are highlights from a selection of speeches from the countries of Hungary, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia and Kenya — concentrating on when (or if) they mentioned Covid-19, climate change, multilateralism in the UN and gender equality. (And as PassBlue reported on Sept. 10, the first woman scheduled to speak at the General Assembly session was President Zuzana Caputova of Slovakia.)
President Janos Ader of Hungary used the pandemic to segue into the climate change crisis. He steered clear of mentioning his country's growing autocratic tendencies. JOHN PENNEY
Hungary: Is this the climate change summit? Covid-19
President Janos Ader began his six-minute statement telling us what we already know: how the virus has affected our work, social lives and upended economies and is putting our global health at grave risk. But this was not the main focus of his remarks.
Ader connected the pandemic to climate change, alluding to human impact on earth, which was the sole focus of the remainder of his speech, as he said: "By the beginning of the twenty-first century we humans have become the biggest factor that exercises the biggest impact on changes to the planet. We have to brace ourselves and if we do not radically change our lifestyles, this crisis will be followed by other ones which may be even more serious than covid."
He spoke specifically about medical and food production issues related to water contamination. He briefly mentioned the use of coal-powered plants taking up "water that would be enough to supply 1 billion people." Ader zoomed out again to focus on how we are living unsustainably, using resources that are limited and suggesting that a circular economy is the solution, saying:
"Where waste, glass, plastic, metal, etc. are not garbage, but recyclable raw materials. How many times have we discussed this yet we have achieved little progress?"
Context: What Hungary failed to mention is its poor human-rights record, especially the rights of an independent press, academic freedoms and the inhumane treatment of asylum-seekers who cross its borders. Hungary has been a member of the European Union since 2004. While Ader is the head of state, he holds a mostly ceremonial position. The head of government is Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has been using the coronavirus outbreak to take more power in Hungary.
Multilateralism & UN
No mention.
King Salman bin Abdulaziz used his speech to praise Saudi Arabia's generosity in Yemen, where it is waging a deadly air war, and touted the Saudis' counterterrorism work at the UN. JOHN PENNEY
Saudi Arabia: Heavy shade at Iran and at terrorism itself
King Salman bin Abdulaziz opened his 16-minute pre-recording sitting at a large desk and a stapled copy of his statement in his hands, from which he read without looking up much at the camera.
After winding pronouncements of being "in the forefront among the nations working to achieve international peace and security" since the beginning of the UN's creation, King Salman spent most of the time denouncing Iran's targeting of Saudi Arabia's oil facilities.
Next, King Salman accused Iran of interfering in Yemen through a surrogate — the Houthi militia — and causing a humanitarian crisis, including a near famine. He pledged Saudi Arabia's continued support of providing food and other essential aid to Yemenis without acknowledging that the Saudi-led military coalition has also inflicted tremendous death and destruction in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia expressed its support of the Palestinians to regain their "legitimate rights at the forefront of which is establishing their independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital." He also noted the efforts of the US administration to bring peace to the Middle East. The King condemned foreign intervention in Libya and supported a peaceful resolution of Syria. He also expressed support of Lebanon, referencing the Beirut port explosion on Aug. 4, which he claimed was due to the "hegemony of Hezbollah."
Mostly a pat on the back, the King said the effect of the pandemic and its repercussions compel "all of us to stand together to face common challenges," coming close to the main multilateralism theme of this year's General Assembly. He praised his country's work in leading a global effort against the pandemic at the G-20 summit held in March, where the Saudis pledged $500 million to help combat the effects of the pandemic, and he reiterated that his country is one of the largest donors of aid in the world. "During the past three decades, the Kingdom provided more than $86 billion in humanitarian aid benefiting 81 countries," he said.
The words "climate change" were mentioned once at the end of his statement, but it was not actually something the King spoke about. Instead, it was embedded in the final sentences wrapping up his speech, an issue listed with others, including "organized crime."
King Salman called for continued combating of extremist organizations and "the rolling back of ISIS strongholds in Iraq and Syria." He said that "to achieve success in our battle against terrorism and extremism, we must intensify our joint efforts by facing this challenge comprehensively." He mentioned the Saudis' $100-million-plus support of the UN Counter-Terrorism Center and other antiterrorism entities.

Slovakia: Preaching solidarity to combat Covid-19 and climate change
For the first time during the 75th General Assembly opening session, the pronoun "her" was heard, to introduce Slovakian President Zuzana Caputova. She used her eight-minute statement to focus on how the world can connect its handling of the pandemic with how it can also deal with the climate change crisis. Caputova called for solidarity, compassion and responsible leadership to get the world through such challenges and repeated those principles in her speech.
She also highlighted that leaders needed to be "guardians" of trust by upholding free and independent media and not allowing a crisis to be used to suppress human rights, calling out the recent violence against protesters in the wake of the re-election of Aleksandr Lukashenko of Belarus, who won allegedly from a rigged election. He has been president for 26 years.
"People around the world understood that responsible behaviour can save lives, even if it meant limitation of their own comfort," she said. Since the world quickly changed and adapted in working together against the global threat of the pandemic, she said that it can do the same for threats like climate change.
She also warned that "we must not allow the development and production of vaccine and medical supplies to become yet another global competition," and that worldwide partnerships among scientists, manufacturers and governments will be necessary to make sure everyone can access an effective vaccine, regardless of its cost.
Caputova called climate change "the greatest threat to our common future," but did not deep-dive into a specific aspect.
In her short statement, about six minutes under the maximum length allowed, Caputova pushed for bringing the lessons learned from dealing with Covid-19 to a renewal of a universal commitment to tackle other global threats through the UN.
President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya was one of the few leaders throughout the two days of General Assembly speeches so far to dwell on gender equality matters. JOHN PENNEY
Kenya: Three cheers for multilateralism
President Uhuru Kenyatta's 24-minute statement comprehensively covered Covid-19 efforts, his country's commitment to tackling climate change and counterterrorism and even acknowledged global gender-equality initiatives and issues. The theme of multilateralism was embedded throughout his remarks. He also appealed for the end of the commercial and the financial embargo and sanctions against Cuba, Zimbabwe and Sudan. Kenya joins the Security Council for a two-year term in January.
Kenyatta said the pandemic best defines the challenges of our time, because it's one "we can only overcome if each one of us succeeds." He provided specific examples of how Kenya has made targeted efforts to revamp and expand its health care system and intervened to help the most vulnerable people: the elderly, unemployed, youth.
Kenyatta highlighted that climate change disproportionately impacted small island developing states and other nations with fragile ecological environments, stressing the interdependency of biodiversity loss with ecosystem degradation and the need to "find a global balance between human beings and other creatures on our earth."
Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, is headquarters to the UN Environment Program and UN-Habitat, and Kenyatta encouraged the expansion of both organizations.
The president described the many contemporary global challenges, including Covid-19, biodiversity, social and economic inequalities and digital vulnerabilities, saying they all "redefine the imperative for multilateral action." Without naming names, he said that "global geopolitics and competition between global powers have complicated and severely undermined the global response to the Covid-19 pandemic."
During his remarks about Covid-19, Kenyatta said, "We have also recognized that this pandemic has in itself produced the challenges of gender inequality and more gender violence." He pointed out that violence against women is a pervasive, continuing problem that has been exacerbated as a "shadow pandemic." Domestic abuse of children is also suspected to have quietly increased, another shadow of the Covid-19 crisis.

The NBA's premiere superstar LeBron James is no doubt, one of the most accomplished players of this era.
Still going strong at 32-years-old - without even a trace of slowing down anytime soon - James has already won three NBA championships, four league MVP's and has been named an All-Star for 13 straight seasons.
Still, fans and pundits alike have not gone easy on "The King", and have always wanted to see more out of the Akron, Ohio native.
"What else do I have to prove?" James told Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com over the weekend.
After winning back-to-back titles with the Miami Heat in 2012 and 2013, James returned to the Cavs in 2014 and delivered his promise to bring a championship to his home state last year.
His unparalleled greatness on the court has earned him comparisons to perhaps the greatest player to ever lace his sneakers, his "Airness" Michael Jordan.
Currently, James will be heading to his seventh straight Eastern Conference finals, as his team swept the Toronto Raptors in four games.

Night Clubs in Portugal
In the 1990s, Lisbon established a reputation as one of Europe's main clubbing cities. Things have slowed down a bit in the last few years, but whether your preference is dancing to house or to the sounds of a live band, the city provides a full range of clubs. Nightlife in Portugal is celebrated for its trend-setting clubs and live music venues. The city is one of Europe's liveliest party hubs, and Lisbon lets its hair down with panache. There are late bars aplenty and all sorts of restaurants, including famed fado houses. In fact, the Portuguese capital comes alive after dark.
The young and the fashionable are spoilt for choice. A plethora of chic and funky nightclubs cater for the style conscious, where looks count for everything and the drinks are served tall. For others, it's all about the music. Lisbon is a fixture on the international concert circuit and regularly hosts some of the industry's biggest acts in state-of-the-art arenas. Historic halls and elegant theatres cater for the more classically inclined.
There's a hip street scene, where dozens of informal, late night bars host anything from Indie guitar bands to jazz quartets. This is great pub-crawl territory for a relatively inexpensive sojourn, where an evening out can last all night!
The major dance spots are concentrated near the river on Avenida 24 de Julho, in the docklands below 25 de Abril Bridge to the west, and across from Santa Apolonia train station to the east. Since most locals begin the night with a long dinner and bar-hopping for hours, the dancing clubs only really get going after 2AM, and no real hard-core reveler leaves before dawn. A couple of clubs in residential areas are very low-key and you must ring a bell to get in -- Fragil and Incognito. On the riverfront, Lux remains the hotspot, but there's now new competition in Comercio Square, at Ministerium Club and Lust.
Silk Club
It is in the heart of Lisbon's historical center of Chiado district, with the city literally at your feet, where you'll find the private club Silk. Its unique location, on the last floor of the highest building, allows for the breathtaking 270º panoramic view of the city, within a sophisticated, modern and luxurious ambience. Its architecture and design and the combination of its decorative elements make Silk special, recognized by the UCity Guides as the Best Rooftop Bar in the World. The terrace, invites you to lose yourself in the Lisbon skyline and enjoy a unique moment of relaxation, enhancing natural sensations, either during the day or night. It is through the careful selection of its members, their guests and partners that the Silk defines its club philosophy.
K Urban Beach
This building right on the riverbank with a large patch of sand in front of it is part of the K group, which has run some of Lisbon's leading nightspots over the years. It comprises bar, restaurant and nightclub with various dancefloors. Here you can hear EDM, house and the like, including slightly less commercial sounds on the more alternative dancefloor.
