UN Report Warns Growing Number of People Face Water Scarcity
UN Report Warns , Growing Number of People , Face Water Scarcity.
On March 21, the United Nations released a report warning
that 26% of the world's population, approximately
2 billion people, lack access to safe drinking water.
.
According to NPR, the report comes
on the eve of the U.N.'s first conference on
the topic of water in over 45 years.
.
The U.N.'s World Water Development Report 2023 revealed that 46% of people lack access to basic
sanitation globally, equal to about 3.6 billion people.
.
NPR reports that the U.N.
Has laid out
a goal to ensure that all people in the world
have access to clean water by 2030.
According to Richard Connor, editor-in-chief of the
report, meeting the goal will require somewhere
between $600 billion and $1 trillion per year.
.
Connor said that with 70% of the world's
water use going to agriculture, it becomes
critical for irrigation to be more efficient.
.
According to the U.N.'s Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO) report, as climate change
continues, water scarcity is expected to increase.
.
Seasonal water scarcity will increase in
regions where it is currently abundant ā
such as Central Africa, East Asia and parts
of South America ā and worsen in regions
where water is already in short supply, such
as the Middle East and the Sahara in Africa, World Water Development Report 2023, via NPR.
An increase in intensity or frequency of droughts
and 'heat extremes' can be expected in most
regions as a direct result of climate change.
The UNESCO report states that an average
of 10% of the world's population already lives
in an area with high or critical water stress.
In Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyyās first in-person appearance at a UN Security Council meeting on Moscowās invasion of his country, he told a special meeting that the Russian veto has rendered the world body āineffectiveā. Zelenskyy said that the United Nations was at a dead end regarding aggressions and suggested Russia be stripped of its veto right as one of five permanent members of the post-World War II Security Council as punishment for attacking Ukraine. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken sided with the US and blamed Russia for weaponizing hunger. Russiaās Sergei Lavrov responded. Watch here.

Iran Set To Impose , Harsher Punishments For , Violating Hijab Laws.
BBC reports that Iran has passed a controversial
new bill increasing the prison terms and fines
for women who break strict dress code laws.
According to the new bill, which still needs the approval
of the Guardian Council to become law, anyone dressed
"inappropriately" could face up to ten years in jail. .
The new measure comes one year after widespread
protests over the death of Mahsa Amini, who died while
being held by morality police for violating hijab laws.
In response to Amini's death, women
burnt their headscarves at nationwide
protests against the clerical establishment. .
Hundreds of people were reportedly
killed in a crackdown by security forces
in response to the demonstrations.
On September 20, members of
the Iranian parliament voted 152 to 34
to pass the "Hijab and Chastity Bill.".
The bill would give any person caught dressed
"inappropriately" a prison sentence between five
to ten years and a fine between $3,651 to $7,302.
BBC reports that the bill also includes measures
to punish anyone "promoting nudity" or
"making fun of the hijab" on social networks
and in the media.
Earlier in September, eight United Nations
human rights experts said that the bill , "could be described as a form of gender apartheid, as authorities
appear to be governing through systemic discrimination with the
intention of suppressing women and girls into total submission.".
The bill also violates fundamental rights,
including the right to take part in cultural
life, the prohibition of gender discrimination,
freedom of opinion and expression,
the right to peaceful protest, and the right
to access social, educational, and health
services, and freedom of movement, United Nations experts, via BBC

Research Suggests , High Fiber Diets , Come With Myriad of Health Benefits.
NPR reports that a recent review of studies on fiber-rich
diets found links to lower risk for major health problems
like obesity, diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Fiber provides fuel for trillions of microbes
that live in the gut, producing chemical
messengers that influence health.
The U.S. government's dietary guidelines suggest
eating 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories. .
However, NPR reports that only about 9% of women
and 3% of men meet those daily recommendations.
According to researchers, the best source
of fiber is from a number of plant-based foods,
like whole grains, beans, seeds and nuts.
Foods like sweet potatoes, avocados, pears, asparagus,
brown rice and pumpkin seeds are not only a good source
of fiber, but also vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

Foods like sweet potatoes, avocados, pears, asparagus,
brown rice and pumpkin seeds are not only a good source
of fiber, but also vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.
Salads can be another good source
of fiber if iceberg lettuce is
substituted with cabbage or kale.
NPR recommends taking small steps to introduce
more fiber into your diet in order to give the
gastrointestinal tract time to adjust.
As your daily intake of fiber
is increased, keep track of how
different high-fiber foods affect you. .
At the same time, it is very important to drink plenty of
water, which will help fiber move through your system and
prevent it from hardening, causing gas and constipation.

Idalia Moves Into Carolinas , After Slamming Floridaās Gulf Coast.
After wreaking havoc with 125 mph winds in Florida and 90 mph winds in Georgia on Aug. 30, Idalia has been downgraded to a tropical storm.
After wreaking havoc with 125 mph winds in Florida and 90 mph winds in Georgia on Aug. 30, Idalia has been downgraded to a tropical storm.
But the storm remained a threat as the "risk of freshwater flooding, storm surge and strong winds" continued "across portions of Georgia and the Carolinas," forecasters warned.
Early on Aug. 31, the National Hurricane Center said Idalia was 20 miles from
Myrtle Beach with 60 mph winds. .
Several parts of North Carolina were
under a storm surge warning.
The Carolinas are also susceptible to
potential tornadoes at this time.
On Aug. 30, 150,000 people lost power in Florida, while over 130,000 were without electricity in Georgia, according to PowerOutage.us.
In South Carolina, "major coastal inundation" was reported by the National Weather Service.
Water broke through downtown
Charleston's historic seawall. .
It's not clear how many fatalities have
resulted from the storm at this time.
By the evening of Aug. 30, Kevin Gurthrie, director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, said "there were no outstanding missing person reports," according to NPR. .
75% of the agency's search has been completed, but houses are coming up empty, meaning that most people chose to heed warnings and evacuate.

Federal Government, Fines American Airlines , for Long Delays.
NPR reports that the United States government will fine
American Airlines $4.1 million for long ground delays that
kept passengers on board planes without a chance to exit.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation,
it is the largest fine ever issued against an airline
since regulation on ground delays began decades ago.
NPR reports that American will have to
pay half of the fine in the next 30 days.
The federal government will give
the airline credit for the other half of
the fine, equaling just over $2 million. .
The Department of Transportation's investigation
revealed that American had kept 43 domestic flights
grounded for at least three hours between 2018 and 2021.
This is the latest action in our
continued drive to enforce
the rights of airline passengers, Pete Buttigieg, Transportation Secretary, via NPR.
NPR reports that American Airlines defended itself, saying
that those 43 flights represent just 1% of the airline's
7.7 million flights operated over the same period of time.
The airline reportedly added that
"substantial compensation" had already
been paid to delayed passengers. .
A majority of delays reportedly occurred at
Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).
NPR reports that many of the incidents happened during
thunderstorms or other inclement weather

Invasive Red Fire Ant Colonies, Found in Europe For the First Time.
According to a new study, red fire ants
have been found in Europe for the first time. .
CNN reports that the highly invasive species,
which has the scientific name Solenopsis invicta,
is natively found in South America.
The species have now spread throughout the world,
from the United States, all the way to China
and Australia, over the last century.
The aggressive insects possess
a painful sting, which can irritate
the skin and trigger allergic reactions.
The invasive species can also
cause damage to both crops
and local ecosystems.
According to researchers, 88 red fire ant
nests have been identified near
the city of Syracuse in Sicily, Italy.
S. invicta is one of
the worst invasive species.
It can spread alarmingly quickly, Mattia Menchetti, Lead study author and researcher at
the Institute of Evolutionary Biology, via CNN.
Finding this species in Italy

It seems that the battle of the South American nation Ecuador in controlling gangs and gang wars is perhaps taking a toll on the country. Yesterday, Ecuadorās capital Quito, was rocked by attacks with grenades and two car bombs, followed hours later by inmates in six prisons taking hostage 57 prison guards and police officers. The wave of attacks was an apparent show of force by organised crime gangs that claimed no victims, while the uprising in the prisons was believed to be a riposte to a police sweep of jails to confiscate weapons the day before. The mass hostage-taking came a day after hundreds of soldiers and police officers carried out an operation to search for weapons, ammunition and explosives in one of the country's main penitentiaries, in the Andean city of Latacunga in the south. But authorities later said the incident was in protest against the transfer of inmates to other prisons. An inmate transfer earlier on Wednesday, aimed at preventing gang clashes, may have been the trigger. Initial reports suggested that all hostages were taken at one prison in the city of Cuenca, but later, the state office in charge of prisons, clarified that the action was spread across six prisons, without identifying which ones.
