Russia's invasion of Ukraine could soon cause a global food crisis that may last for years, the UN has warned. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the war had worsened food insecurity in poorer nations due to rising prices. Some countries could face long-term famines if Ukraine's exports are not restored to pre-war levels, he added.

This has reduced the global supply and caused the price of alternatives to soar. Global food prices are almost 30%…

Spain To Allow Girls Over 16 Years To Opt For Abortions

Spain has approved a draft bill that would remove the requirement for 16 and 17-year-old girls to have parental consent before terminating a pregnancy. The new bill is aimed at reforming a previous abortion law approved by the conservative People's Party in 2015.

But doctors in traditionally Roman Catholic Spain will still be…

Swedish Government Says It Has Decided To Apply For NATO Membership

The Swedish government has said on its website that it has decided to apply for NATO membership.

Keep The Faith; NPP Has A Track Record Of Success – VP Bawumia

The Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged Ghanaians to have confidence in the Akufo-Addo administration to navigate the nation positively through the present economic storms because, fundamentally, the NPP has a track-record of doing so. Addressing thousands of attendees at a training and orientation programme for the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) on Thursday, 7th April 2022 Dr Bawumia reminded Ghanaians that although times may be hard now, the Akufo-Addo administration inherited an even more dire situation and successfully moved the country onto a path of growth until the whole world was blindsided by the Covid 19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine…

Here are lives at the intersection of fun and scary. One of my companions summed the whole experience up perfectly.

Astrophysicist explains one concept in 5 Levels of difficulty

With their feet dangling, and amusing themselves–until I stopped them–by throwing stones at the giant mass. After I had spoken to them about it, they began playing at “touch” in and out of the group of bystanders. Among these were a couple of cyclists, a jobbing gardener I employed sometimes, a girl carrying a baby, Gregg the butcher and his little boy, and two or three loafers and golf caddies who were accustomed to hang about the railway station. There was very little talking. Few of the common people in England had anything but the vaguest astronomical ideas in those…
