Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications Eamon Ryan today (Thursday, 28 March) launched Climate Actions Work – a new, first of its kind national engagement and communications campaign to support and encourage action on climate and community resilience over the coming year.
The new engagement campaign will focus on hearing from, and working with, local communities – talking directly to people to help combat climate change. This campaign will focus on local people and places, encouraging and supporting climate actions that are designed and developed by communities themselves.
The launch was hosted by Dublin 8 resident, environmental volunteer, writer and comedian Colm O’Regan, whose recent book ‘Climate Worrier – A Hypocrite’s Guide to Saving the Planet’ grapples with many of the difficulties and paradoxes that people encounter when it comes to climate action, in a humorous and honest way.
The launch took place in Dublin 8 because it is a microcosm of the wealth of climate action already taking place right across the country – in urban and rural communities. There will be a full programme of activity throughout the year, including launches and events that will focus on what’s happening in rural Ireland.
Speaking at the launch of the campaign, Minister Ryan said, “We know that Irish people care about climate change, that they are concerned about its effects on their lives, but importantly that they believe that climate actions work – that this can make our country more resilient, help create new green jobs and opportunities and improve our quality of life. As a government, we must listen and act, so that we are supporting people to take climate action that works best for them and their community, from the ground up.”
“This campaign, which will take place over the coming year, will build on the momentum that is already happening right across Ireland. From bog restoration in Roscommon to community energy in Cabra. Every place and every person matters when it comes to climate. The Government, working with local authorities and community groups, has put in place structures and resources to support this work. In addition, a new flexible fund will help those organisations – who often rely on volunteerism – with the smaller costs associated with their invaluable work. We want to celebrate what’s already happening, share learnings across communities and encourage new people to get involved in making their town, their suburb, their townland a better place to live now and into the future.”
Over the coming year, it will work with groups up and down the country to amplify the huge amount of climate action that is already taking place, provide support to groups where needed, and encourage more people to get involved in taking climate action together.
At the same time, the Government will continue to concentrate on the large, systemic climate actions that will make it easier for people and communities to make more sustainable choices where they are living.
To support community groups particularly, the Government will also make flexible micro-funding totalling €1 million available over 2024 and 2025 to help with smaller administrative and communications costs – the practical things that too often inhibit people and groups from taking action.
In addition, the Government will work with a range of climate communications experts to develop special training, toolkits and advice for groups, including business and professional groups, who want to do more to make their place better and more climate resilient. Over the coming weeks, a creative advertising and social media campaign will also be rolled out to support the engagement campaign and to tell people how they can get involved in their locations.

Assemblyman Michael Benjamin, a Democrat from the Bronx, says that Eliot Spitzer has done some major damage to the Democrats’ chances of taking over the state Senate.
“I know it’s probably going to be problematic next year, when it comes to making the effort to finally take over the state Senate,” he told me. “I think probably over the last, probably, ten months, he’s given the Senate Republicans new life. I mean, they can now argue to their constituencies in upstate New York that you need to have Republican state Senators to maintain some level of balance and oversight so you don’t have Democrats running amok all across the state when you have a Democratic Assembly, a Democratic state Senate and a Democratic governor.”

Srinagar, Aug 05: Senior leader Prof. Saifuddin Soz on Thursday said that it was totally wrong for the Modi government to celebrate the abrogation of Article 370 and 35-A in Jammu and Kashmir.

The court rejected the petitioner’s plea.
The petitioner, Shashi Tharoor, said the government has already set up the tax in the name of the public interest.
He said the Delhi tax will hurt the economy and increase the cost of living for the common man.

The court had last year issued notices to the Delhi Government seeking a permanent stay on implementation of the tax.
The Centre and the states had opposed the tax, saying it would hurt business investment and employment in the city.
The Supreme Commission for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SCSCS) had also asked the Centre to withdraw the notice.

Maharashtra minister and Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray also tweeted that those responsible for the incident had already been arrested. “I urge all, especially political parties to kindly note that the police had already arrested all those involved in attacking the sadhus,” he added. “Strictest action is being taken. Maharashtra Govt never will pardon any such crimes.”
Home Minister Anil Deshmukh announced that a high-level inquiry had been set up to look into the case. “The Palghar police have already taken 101 people into custody in connection with the matter and a high level inquiry has also been set up in the case,” he tweeted. “The police will also keep an eye on those who are trying to create a rift in society by giving this a controversial spin.”
The Palghar Police said 101 people have been remanded to police custody till April 30 and nine of them have been sent to juvenile home. “Further investigation is going on in the matter,” they added. “An enquiry has also been initiated to look into the incident.”

I urge the state government to immediately set up a high level enquiry and ensure that people who are responsible for this are brought to justice at the earliest.”

Colombia will extend coronavirus restrictions in various cities across the country, President Ivan Duque has announced, as intensive care unit admissions have increased amid a surge in infections.
Duque on social media said the restrictions would vary based on ICU occupancy rates.
The curfews will be in place from Monday and continue through April 19, he said.
“It’s clear that … some municipalities have shown increases in recent weeks and there also exists the risk of a new national increase in the coming weeks,” Duque said. “We must act, prevent and take appropriate decisions.”
Colombia had already repeatedly warned people not lower their guard during the Easter holiday and put in place weekend curfews.
The country has reported more than 2.4 million cases of COVID-19 and more than 63,900 deaths, according to a Johns Hopkins University tally.
Colombian cities with an ICU occupancy above 85 percent will have a curfew from 6pm through 5am local time, while those at between 80-85 percent capacity will have curfews beginning at 8pm.
Curfews will start at 10pm in cities with 70-79 percent occupancy, while those between 50-69 percent will be restricted from midnight until 5am.

He said that India was alive due to the sacrifices made by soldiers, especially from Himachal Pradesh. He said that was the reason that the party had given the ticket to Captain Ranjit Singh (Retd.) from Sujanpur after senior leader Prem Kumar Dhumal decided not to contest this time.
He said the BJP government gave full powers to the Indian forces to fight the Kargil war because of which the war was won.

National Highway projects worth 10 thousand crores were going on in Himachal Pradesh and would become a reality in four years, he said.

Abuja, Oct. 10,2019
The Minister of Aviation, Mr Hadi Sirika on Thursday said the Enugu International airport will require N10 billion to be operational again.
Sirika made this known while addressing the House of Representatives Committee on Aviation in Abuja.
“Given the money, we have a time frame of delivering the airport before Christmas; the choice is because we understand that people travel back home during the period and we want them to find a new airport on arrival.
“We have put before government a request of N10 billion and we believe government is doing everything possible to provide the funds,” he said.
The minister said that the airport was closed down because of the state of the runway and other safety concerns.
He said that there are some limitations in the Enugu airport which had been brought to the attention of the Governor of the state.
Sirika said that efforts were made to address the issues and inadequacies which includes the presence of a market close to the runway.
He said that because grains were being sold in the market, it attracts birds which could be ingested into the engine of the plane and cause safety concerns.
The minister said that the market had to be removed and a radio mast in the airport had been removed after along battle.
He said that another issue was the encroachment of the airport by indigenes, converting part of the airport to residential area.
He said that those were the major reasons for the closure of the airport to avert air accidents in the airport.
The minister, however said that the design for a new runway had been done and that procurement plan was ongoing awaiting approval.
According to him, Enugu International Airport is extremely important for us at the ministry as it is International and it is considered when Nigeria is being scored for security and safety.
He said that Enugu being the headquarters of the former Eastern region, it is what Kaduna is to the Northern region and it the only one of the five airports being funded by the Federal Government.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Committee, Rep. Nnoli Nnaji, asked the minister what was delaying the completion of the airport.
He said that the airport was important to the people of the South East, South South and part of the North Central.
Nnaji said that the same attention which the Nnamdi Azikiwe International airport Abuja received during its repairs should be given to the Enugu airport.
The lawmaker said that the Abuja international airport requires a second runway given its importance to economic activities in the country.
The chairman recommended that the 25 per cent of generated revenue being remitted to the federal account by Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) should be used to develop infrastructure at the airports by the agency.
According to him, the airport being the first port of call should have hotels and other basic infrastructure to aid business transactions.

Mental health services should be a key focus for local authorities
Posted Thursday 10 January 2013
Paul Farmer, Chief Executive of Mind, said:
“We welcome the announcement that the government has granted local authorities over £5billion to dedicate to public health strategy over the next two years.
“Public mental health and public physical health go hand-in-hand. People with long-term health conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease, are two to three times more likely to experience mental health problems than the general population and people with severe mental health problems die on average 20 years earlier than those without. Traditional public health priorities such as smoking, obesity and sexual health are closely related to mental wellbeing, so local authorities need to take an integrated approach.
“With this funding, we hope that local authorities will recognise the importance of services aimed at promoting mental health and preventing mental health problems, alongside traditional public health services aimed at improving physical health.”

Chennai: Amid steady dip in daily caseload, the sixth mega COVID vaccination drive
to inoculate the uncovered population and to target those who have not yet taken their second dose jabs, began in Tamil Nadu, on Saturday.
The 12-hour long camp began at 0700 hrs in over 50,000 centres across the State.
Though the previous five mega camps were held on Sundays, the state Health department officials chose to have the camp on Saturday this time as people taking non-vegetarian food and alcohol were hesitant in taking their jabs on Sundays.
Health department officials said more than 60 lakh doses were available in the state and the main objective of the camp was to inoculate more than 55 lakh people, who were yet to take their second dose.More than five crore people were vaccinated during the five previous camps and more than 75 per cent of the people have been inoculated so far.
Health Secretary Dr J Radhakrishnan said it could not be surely said at the present time
whether there would be outbreak of third wave of COVID in the State.
Citing the spike in cases in several countries, including China, he said taking into account the upcoming festival season, people were congregating in large numbers.
“Taking these factors into consideration, we cannot surely say there will not be any third
wave. But people has to take all precautions like wearing of face masks and maintain
social distancing to prevent control of the virus spread”, he said.

Malawi has the High Level National Council (HLDC) to be conducting National Dialogue on “Malawi at 50 and prospects for the next 50 years” to help in the development of the country through the fundamental pillars of national development.
Speaking at the official opening of the HLDC in Lilongwe on Wednesday, the council chairperson, Professor Mathews Chikaonda said looking back at the country’s past 50 years, life is not satisfied.
“As the county Malawi we were richer on Capital per Gross Domestic Product (GDP) when we were getting independence. But as of now the country is poor with 231 GDP which is less that the amount required,” said Prof. Chikaonda.
He said the general consensus showed that politics has dominated a lot in the ignorance of the country’s development.
The Council which is an independent entity and said they will work with all political parties without looking at which party ruling.
Chikaonda then made a plea to leaders in the country to tell the truth and let the people decide what they know is good for the country’s development and also said there is need to focus on things that will help in the development and not focus on people.
The council has been formed to be conducting national dialogue on what the county need to be looked at the next 50 years.
Commenting on the same issue deputy chairperson Dr. Blessings Chinsinga, said the country had no long-term national development plan that contributed to the poverty, hence the establishing of the council.
He said the council will be accommodating views of other countries that have similar council to see how they can borrow ideas to implement them.
“We will also accommodate Malawians who have development ideas and implement them,” said Chinsinga.
The council was formed on 9 January 2014 and will be advising government and stakeholders on national development.

Telangana TDP president L Ramana today said that the party was waging a war against the ruling TRS to free the state from the clutches of KCR's family.
Addressing a gathering at NTR Trust Bhavan today, Ramana said that the people were expressing their ire at the government's failures and questioning the TRS candidates who were visiting their villages. This was the first time that voters are raising their voices against the ruling party for failing to address the problems of the villagers, the TDP state chief said.
Ramana said that during the TDP rule, all sections of the people got opportunities in politics and justice. But four crore people were now feeling disenfranchised due to the family rule of KCR where the government was controlled by four persons.
On another topic, Ramana said that the party had agreed to leave the Jagityal Assembly seat as part of the seat-sharing agreement, for the sake of unity among the Mahakutami parties. And earlier, ex-MLA Nandishwar Goud along with over 2,000 supporters joined the TDP in the presence of Ramana and other senior TDP leaders. Ramana welcomed Goud by wrapping a party shawl around him.


(AmericanProsperity.com) – Danish police arrested on December 14 three suspected members of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas in Copenhagen and accused them of plotting a strike against Jewish targets in Denmark and different countries across Europe. Following their arrests, German federal prosecutors also informed that German police arrested other three suspected Hamas terrorists in Berlin, as they were preparing a weapons cache in the capital city to use it against Jewish institutions.
Danish police refused to clarify whether the three suspects they arrested had any links with the other three arrested in Germany. During a press conference, the head of Denmark’s PET intelligence service Flemming Drejer said that the group was plotting “an act of terror.” He also told local reporters that there were “ramifications” that involved not only other nations but also organized crime. Drejer added that while he cannot give “too many details,” many other “suspects that are currently abroad” could be implicated in the plot that the Danish police thwarted.
In a statement, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that the goal of the terrorist attack that “Denmark’s security forces thwarted” was to kill as many innocent civilians as possible. He also said that Hamas is currently one of the main threats to the domestic security of some European countries, as the terrorist group has been “working relentlessly” to expand its operations abroad.
Drejer explained that the PET put the threat level against the Scandinavian nation at four on its five-point threat scale. While police increased their presence all across Copenhagen, the PET’s chief told reporters that the capital city is now “safe.”
In another press conference, Denmark Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said that “what happened today” shows the world the situation that “Denmark is currently in.” She also said that all Danes have noted over the last few years that many people who live in the country are not only against Danish’s freedom and democracy but also don’t “wish us well.”

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Abdullah Abdullah on Monday said narcotics had a role to fuel insecurity in the country and close coordination among institutions was needed to counter the menace.
Addressing a cabinet meeting, Abdullah said the previous government failed to pay attention to eliminate drugs and its smuggling.
He acknowledged absence of thorough implementation of law and lack of coordination among departments were among hurdles to counter the narcotics business.
He said all issues pertaining to anti-poppy campaign had been discussed with officials of Criminal Justice Task Force Commission (CJTFC) during the last week meeting.
Earlier, he said the relevant law was flexible and smugglers would manage to flee. He said Afghanistan was one of the largest poppy producers and the country had more than one million drug addicts.
The CEO stressed for more cooperation among regional countries to eradicate the menace.

Sharing one’s story can be a powerful tool for raising awareness and promoting understanding about important health issues, such as antimicrobial resistance. When individuals share their personal experiences with a health condition, it can help others who may be going through similar experiences feel less alone, and also encourage them to seek help and support.
In the case of antimicrobial resistance, sharing personal stories can also help to educate people about the risks and consequences of overusing antibiotics, and the importance of taking action to prevent the spread of resistant infections. By sharing stories about the challenges and impacts of antibiotic-resistant infections on individuals, families, and communities, we can help to build public support for efforts to address this critical public health issue.
Additionally, sharing stories can be a powerful way to advocate for policy changes and increased funding for research and public health initiatives related to antimicrobial resistance. When individuals speak out about their experiences, they can help to elevate the issue on the public agenda and encourage policymakers to take action.
