Traditional dancers entertain delegates during the Africa Climate Summit (ACS) 2023 at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi, Kenya, September 5, 2023. (REUTERS) NAIROBI  – The world is losing the race to meet its climate change goals, the president of the upcoming COP28 summit said on Tuesday, as African leaders called for changes to what they say is an unfair international climate finance system. The grim assessment by Sultan Al Ja-ber, who will preside over the summit in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in late November, came three days before the United Nations publishes its first 'global stocktake', an assessment of how nations are doing in their efforts to tackle climate change.

I missed it at the time, but last October one of my favourite journalists, Neal Ascherson , turned 90. To mark the occasion, he was interviewed by Tim Adams in the Observer: There are certain writers who seem singled out to bear witness to their times. Neal Ascherson first had a graphic inkling of that fate when he was a small boy in Peterborough, where his father, a naval officer, was stationed at a factory making torpedoes.  "It would have been the summer of 1940," Ascherson says, "and I was coming back to the village where we lived, from school, on the bus.

MANILA, Philippines — The lack of certainty as to when the Senate will pass the bill seeking to outlaw discrimination based on a person's sexual orientation, gender identity and expression (Sogie) has dismayed Bataan Rep. Geraldine Roman — prime mover of the proposed measure in the House of Representatives. Roman, the nation's first transwoman representative, sounded the alarm about the 'slow progress' of the Sogie Equality bill in the upper chamber even as it approved at least 17 other proposed laws in its second and third reading during the last week of session before the Holy Week break.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 7 — Malaysia is experiencing yet another haze crisis believed to be due to the forest fires in some parts of Indonesia. However, Jakarta has denied detecting any smoke drifting over its borders into its neighbour. Air quality has hit unhealthy levels in several parts of Malaysia in the past few days. And with haze comes serious risks to public health and impending implications on the healthcare system should the situation prolong. According to consultant public health physician Dr Feisul Idzwan Mustapha, haze contains tiny particles with toxic substances that can enter the lungs and be absorbed into the bloodstream.
