Foreign Affairs / UK Police Minister’s Purse Stolen At Conference by melanch(m): 10:25am On Sep 13
The UK’s Minister of State for Policing, Fire and Crime Prevention, Dame Diana Johnson, was a victim of theft when her purse was stolen during a policing conference, the BBC reports on Thursday.

The minister was said to be speaking at the Police Superintendents’ Association conference on Tuesday about the growing problems of antisocial behaviour, theft and shoplifting when her purse was stolen.

The Mirror UK reports that the theft occurred at the Chesford Grange Hotel in Kenilworth, Warwickshire, where the conference was held.

The Home Office has confirmed that the minister was a victim of theft, and Warwickshire Police have launched an investigation into the incident, according to The Mirror.

A 56-year-old man from Coventry has also been arrested on suspicion of burglary and released on bail in connection to the incident, Warwickshire Police said.

A spokesman from Warwickshire Police stated, “We’re investigating a report of the theft of a purse at a hotel on the B4115 in Kenilworth. The theft occurred some time between 11.00-13.15 on Tuesday.

“Enquiries are ongoing. A 56-year-old man from Coventry has been arrested on suspicion of burglary and has since been released on bail while enquiries continue.”

The Home Office has stated that no security risks were identified in connection with the theft.

Pets / 80% Of Borno Zoo Animals Affected By Flood - Veterinarians Report by melanch(m): 2:29pm On Sep 12
The Nigerian Veterinary Medical Association has expressed concern that 80 per cent of the animals in the Borno zoo have been affected by flooding.

In a statement on Thursday, the President of the NVMA, Dr Moses Arokoyo, warned that if the animals are not properly cared for, there could be an outbreak of zoonotic diseases.

He urged all levels of government to prioritise the safety of animals, both in zoos and in the wild, impacted by the recent flooding in Borno State.

“According to reports, the heavy rains have not only displaced thousands of residents but have also impacted local wildlife and zoo animals in ways that demand urgent attention. The NVMA is mobilising its expertise and resources to support both human and animal victims of this natural disaster.

“The flood in Borno has caused devastation across communities, displacing families and causing widespread damage to properties and livelihoods.

“Among those affected are animals, particularly those in local zoos and wildlife safety zones, where their living conditions have been severely compromised. Reports indicate that 80% of the animals in the zoo have been victims of the flood, and many are now in distress, facing the risk of disease, injury, and malnutrition due to the flooding of their habitats,” the statement noted.

Dr Arokoyo emphasised that veterinarians have a dual responsibility, especially in this emergency, under the One-Health approach.

“Given the situation, our veterinarians in Borno State have been tasked with collaborating with local caretakers to provide all necessary assistance and expertise to ensure the safekeeping of our animals and protect the human populace.

“We aim to ensure that animals are promptly rescued from residential areas, receive emergency medical attention, and are given temporary shelter.

“We are ready to work alongside state and federal governments, as well as non-governmental organisations, to provide relief efforts. While our focus is on animal welfare, we are equally committed to supporting human healthcare initiatives, recognising that the health of our communities is closely linked to the health of animals in our environment.

“This disaster underscores the need for greater preparedness and preventive measures. We advocate for stronger disaster management policies that include clear protocols for animal welfare. Veterinarians have a key role in shaping these policies and ensuring that animals are not neglected during crises.”

He also highlighted the critical need, especially in light of global climate change, for each state to establish a rapid response team that includes veterinarians to manage such unexpected events and ensure the overall safety of Nigerian lives.

“The NVMA remains committed to alleviating the suffering caused by this tragedy and ensuring that humans and animals receive the care they desperately need.

“We stand in solidarity with the people and animals of Borno State,” the statement concluded.

Politics / Taming The Inflation Dragon: Strategies For Countries Battling High Oil Prices by melanch(m): 2:17pm On Sep 12
Countries facing inflation and high oil prices often implement various strategies to mitigate these economic challenges.

Here are some examples of approaches taken by different nations:

1. Monetary Policy Adjustments

Interest Rate Increases: Central banks may raise interest rates to curb inflation. For instance, the U.S. Federal Reserve has historically increased rates in response to rising inflation, which can help stabilize prices by reducing consumer spending and borrowing costs.

Inflation Targeting: Some countries adopt explicit inflation targets to anchor expectations. This involves setting a specific inflation rate as a goal, which can help stabilize prices and guide monetary policy decisions.

2. Fiscal Policies

Subsidy Reforms: Countries like Egypt have restructured their subsidy programs to focus on targeted cash transfers rather than universal subsidies. This approach aims to protect vulnerable populations from rising food and energy prices while reducing the fiscal burden on the government.

Improving Public Spending Quality: In the MENA region, enhancing the effectiveness of public spending is crucial. This includes reducing untargeted subsidies and reallocating resources towards social protection systems and infrastructure improvements.

3. Structural Reforms

Diversifying Energy Sources: Nations are increasingly looking to reduce dependence on oil by investing in renewable energy. This not only helps stabilize energy prices but also addresses long-term sustainability concerns. For example, countries are exploring alternative energy sources to mitigate the impact of fluctuating oil prices on inflation.

Debt Management: Effective management of public debt is critical. Countries are encouraged to enhance debt transparency and avoid fiscal dominance, which can lead to inflationary pressures. This includes managing debt service costs more effectively and reducing reliance on high-cost short-term funding.

4. International Cooperation

Geopolitical Strategies: Countries may engage in diplomatic efforts to stabilize oil prices, such as negotiating with oil-producing nations or participating in international agreements to manage supply and demand dynamics.

Strategic Reserves: Some nations maintain strategic petroleum reserves to buffer against sudden price spikes. By releasing oil from these reserves during crises, they can help stabilize domestic prices and mitigate inflationary pressures.

Examples of Successful Implementation

Egypt: In response to rising inflation, Egypt has increased public sector wages and expanded cash transfer programs to support low-income families, demonstrating a targeted approach to alleviate the impact of high prices on vulnerable populations.

Brazil: Brazil has historically used a combination of interest rate adjustments and fiscal measures to manage inflation, particularly during periods of high commodity prices, including oil.

These strategies reflect a combination of monetary, fiscal, and structural policies aimed at addressing the dual challenges of inflation and high oil prices, with varying degrees of success across different countries.

Foreign Affairs / Biden Hits Campaign Trail, Visits Black Church Amid Growing Pressure (Photos) by melanch(m): 9:50pm On Jul 07
Embattled US President Joe Biden sought out safe ground Sunday, courting Black voters at a church as he hit the campaign trail to salvage his reelection bid and silence growing calls to quit.

"We're all imperfect beings," the 81-year-old told a welcoming congregation in Philadelphia, where he received a jolt of rejuvenation from worshippers who chanted "four more years."

Biden has dug in despite an uprising among some Democratic lawmakers, analysts and voters concerned he lacks the mental acuity and physical fitness to serve a second term -- worries brought to the fore by a disastrous debate performance last month against Republican challenger Donald Trump.

But the president has unequivocally declared he is fit to serve, the only one who can defeat Trump, is staying in the race.

On Sunday, he embarked on a two-stop swing in the battleground state of Pennsylvania, before he hosts the NATO leaders' summit in Washington later this week.

So far, five Democratic lawmakers have called on Biden to drop out, with the drumbeat of dissent slowly rising.

Two high-profile congressional Democrats on Sunday stopped short of calling for Biden to step aside, but warned he still needed to win over worried voters.

"There's only one reason" the race between Trump and Biden "is close, and that's the president's age," Representative Adam Schiff told NBC's "Meet the Press."

As some speculate about Biden handing off the campaign to Vice President Kamala Harris, Schiff said he thought she "could win overwhelmingly."

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy meanwhile said "the president needs to do more," including unscripted events, to reassure voters.

"This week is going to be absolutely critical," Murphy told CNN's "State of the Union."

Biden himself largely avoided discussing the crisis at hand when he gave a seven-minute address at Mt. Airy Church of God in Christ, speaking to a constituency he has embraced throughout his half-century political career.

"It's good to be home," he said to cheers, before joking briefly about his age.

"I know I look like I'm only 40 years old but I've been around a little bit," he said.

Biden's campaign stops come as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries scheduled a virtual meeting of senior Democratic representatives Sunday to discuss the best way forward, and Democratic Senator Mark Warner is reportedly working to convene a similar forum in the Senate.

With Washington ruminating, First Lady Jill Biden is scheduled to campaign for her husband Monday in Georgia, Florida and North Carolina, while the president preps for the NATO summit beginning Tuesday.

US President Joe Biden avoided discussing the concerns about his age and mental acuity while attending a church service at Mount Airy Church of God in Christ in Philadelphia, instead spending time greeting parishioners and taking selfies with them

Here, too, he will find himself having to reassure allies at a time when many European countries fear a Trump victory in November.

The 78-year-old Republican has long criticized the defense alliance, voiced admiration for Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, and insisted he could bring about a quick end to the fighting in Ukraine.

For now, Democratic heavyweights are largely keeping a lid on any simmering discontent with their leader -- at least in public.

But with election day just four months away, any move to replace Biden as the nominee would need to be made sooner rather than later, and the party will be scrutinized for any signs of more open rebellion.

Meanwhile, for Biden and his team, the strategy seems to be to ride it out.

The campaign has unveiled an intense battle plan for July, including an avalanche of TV spots and trips to all the key states.

That includes a visit to the US Southwest during the Republican convention July 15-18, at which Trump will be anointed the party's official presidential nominee.

Celebrities / Lil’ Durk Shows His Girlfriend India Royale Love On Twitter by melanch(m): 5:12am On Apr 10, 2021
When a man loves a woman, there is no boundary that they will go through to show the world how much they love them. It’s the energy that every girl, including myself, desires. When so many on the internet are considered “relationship goals,” there is one couple who continues to prove that Black Love exists! Looking at Lil Durk and his girlfriend India Royale it’s no doubt in anyone’s mind that he loves her beyond words can explain.

Yesterday he reshared a video on Twitter of India as she showed off her fresh set of jumbo Knotless braids. He penned a cute caption on the post stating, “THE BLESSING. THE WIFE. THE mFR IMA KILL BOUT @byindiaroyale.” In the video with over 450k views, India’s skin glowed as she showed off the braids, her perfectly laid baby hairs, and her fresh face. We all know how much pride Durk takes in his woman, so it’s not out of the ordinary for him to show her love on social media.

Fans of the couple took notice of India’s appearance and commented on her beauty. One wrote, “Naturally Beautiful…When u can wake up and still be beautiful without makeup. This is your diamond right here. Sending you both positive energy and love.” Another commented, “She’s definitely one of a kind. I watch her YouTube videos, and her vibe is always uplifting and happy. A beautiful young woman.”

India is very lowkey on social media, but she does pop out every now and then. If you recall, she recently shared photos of her birthday and showed off the many Chanel bags that Durk gifted her for the occasion. That wasn’t the only big gift she received. Durk also iced her out with a custom necklace with a picture of her daughters and one with him and her.

Now the next thing we’re waiting for is her to pop out with a ring!
