Lesotho, August 29, 2023 - Many Basotho youth proactively seek training beyond formal education, and almost 65 percent of them aspire to become an entrepreneur instead of waiting for a wage job in the public sector. This reveals the high educational and career aspirations of many youths in Lesotho, according to the Lesotho Youth Aspirations Survey undertaken and presented in Maseru by the World Bank. The survey was conducted in collaboration with Lesotho's Department of Youth in the Ministry of Gender, Youth, Sports, Arts, Culture, and Social Development (MGYSACSD), as well as with youth and university associations.

MANILA, Philippines — Families of victims in the Pamplona massacre, which took the lives of Negros Oriental Gov. Roel Degamo and eight others, may have the opportunity to confront suspended Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr. at a Senate panel probe into the spate of political killings in the country. Sen. Ronald 'Bato' dela Rosa, chair of the upper chamber's public order and dangerous drugs committee, said on Tuesday that the panel would seek the presence of the beleaguered lawmaker, whether physical or virtual, as a resource person in the hearing.

There was a sense of accomplishment among some of the TNT players as they went back to the locker room following a hard-fought Game 5 win that put them closer to the finish line of the PBA Governors' Cup Finals. But coach Jojo Lastimosa does not feel any comfort, not when Wednesday night's 104-95 victory came against a gassed Barangay Ginebra that lost Justin Brownlee to food poisoning mid-game. Especially since the Gin Kings are a team that thrive on adversity. And TNT was in a similar 3-2 lead before eventually losing to San Miguel Beer in this season's Philippine Cup Finals.

We horen steeds dat het slecht gaat met de natuur. In Europa wordt daarom gepraat over strengere wetten die de natuurgebieden, de bodem en de dieren beter moeten beschermen. Hoe staat de natuur in Nederland er eigenlijk voor? Dit artikel zet de feiten voor je op een rij. That depends on how you look at it. The number of legally protected Natura2000 areas is about 15% of our land, rivers and lakes. Add to that the areas of the Nature Network Netherlands (NNN) and you get to 26%. Furthermore, 24% of our coastal and marine area is officially protected.

A new study published today in The Lancet Planetary Health highlights the beneficial role of greenness and access to green or blue spaces in reducing socioeconomic-related inequalities in mental health. The researchers found that every additional 360m to the nearest green (e.g. park, field or wooded area) or blue (e.g. lake, marina, or the sea) space was associated with higher odds of anxiety and depression. The study, funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research, presents the largest, most comprehensive evaluation of the effect of differences in exposure to green and blue spaces on mental health over a 10-year period.
