Vita ya sasa ya Sudan ikielekea kuingia mwaka wa tatu, Tume Huru ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya kusaka ukweli kuhusu Sudan imelaani vikali mauaji ya watu zaidi ya 100 yaliyotokea wikiendi hii katika kambi za wakimbizi wa ndani Darfur, ikionya kwamba hali inaweza kuwa mbaya zaidi. Anold Kayanda na taarifa zaidi.(Taarifa ya Anold Kayanda)Shukrani LeahTangu kuanza kwa vita kati ya Jeshi la Sudan (SAF) na kikosi cha waasi cha RSF mnamo tarehe 15 Aprili mwaka 2023, maelfu ya watu wamepoteza maisha, huku mamilioni wakikumbwa na njaa, ubakaji, na ufurushwaji. Kambi kama ya Zamzam, yenye wakazi zaidi ya laki saba – nusu yao wakiwa watoto – zinaripotiwa kuzingirwa, wakazi wake wakikosa chakula, dawa, na maji, imeeleza Tume Huru ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya kusaka ukweli kuhusu Sudan.Mwenyekiti wa tume hiyo, Mohamed Chande Othman, ananukuliwa akisema, “Dunia imeshuhudia miaka miwili ya mzozo usio na huruma ambao umewanasa mamilioni ya raia katika mazingira ya kutisha, wakiwekwa katika hali ya ukatili bila matumaini ya mwisho.”Kwa mujibu wa taarifa iliyotolewa leo na Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF, Catherine Russell kuhusu tukio hili la hivi karibuni ni kwamba watoto takriban 23 na wahudumu 9 wa misaada wameripotiwa kuuawa katika mfululizo wa mashambulizi katika eneo la Darfur Kaskazini, katika kipindi cha siku tatu zilizopita.Jana Jumapili, Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Antonio Guterres amesisitiza kuwa mashambulizi yanayolenga raia ni marufuku kabisa chini ya sheria ya kimataifa ya kibinadamu. Wafanyakazi wa misaada ya kibinadamu na wafanyakazi wa afya wanapaswa kuheshimiwa na kulindwa,anasema.Kesho Jumanne huko London Uingereza, mataifa takriban 20 yanatarajiwa kujadili hali ya kibinadamu nchini Sudan. Umoja wa Mataifa unatoa wito wa hatua za haraka kulinda raia, kusitisha uungwaji mkono kwa pande zinazopigana, na kuhakikisha haki na uwajibikaji kwa uhalifu wa kivita.

Gaza suffers as children and aid workers killed in Israeli bombardment "Tragedy deepens in Gaza as at least 322 children have been killed and 609 wounded in the past 10 days, UNICEF reports, after Israel resumed attacks. ""Children have again been plunged into deadly violence,"" warns UNICEF's Catherine Russell. Separately, Gaza's media office confirms 1,513 humanitarian workers killed in Israel's relentless bombardment. Meanwhile, The Palestinian presidency condemns forced evacuations in Rafah, calling them a violation of international law. Israel and Hamas remain at odds over key conditions, including prisoner releases and military withdrawal." French court bans Marine Le Pen from office over EU funds scandal "French political circles are in turmoil. Marine Le Pen's electoral ambitions face a stunning blow as a court imposes a five-year ban after she was found guilty of embezzling European Union funds. International figures, including US President Donald Trump and his billionaire supporter Elon Musk, decry the ruling as politically motivated. Le Pen vows to appeal, insisting she's ""eliminated,"" not defeated. Her National Rally party now weighs its options, with 29-year-old protege and the party leader Jordan Bardella potentially stepping into the spotlight." Myanmar declares national mourning as earthquake deaths surpass 2,000 "Myanmar declared a week of national mourning on Monday following a devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake that claimed over 2,000 lives. The ruling junta announced flags would fly at half-mast until April 6 in honour of the victims. Rescue efforts have slowed in Mandalay, the worst-hit city, as fears of aftershocks persist. Thousands are still living on the streets, and with communication networks disrupted, the true scale of the disaster remains uncertain. At least 3,900 people are injured, and hundreds are still missing." Khamenei warns Trump that Iran will retaliate firmly against aggression "Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, responded sharply to US President Donald Trump's threat of ""bombing,"" warning that any external aggression would prompt a ""firm retaliatory blow."" Addressing a congregation in Tehran, Khamenei emphasised Iran's readiness for any confrontation. Meanwhile, Iran rejected direct talks with the US but remains open to indirect negotiations. Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned Trump's remarks as a “shocking affront to international peace.”" France fines Apple over its app tracking transparency practices "French antitrust authorities have slapped Apple with a $162 million fine over its App Tracking Transparency or ATT feature. The watchdog argued that the implementation of ATT was excessive and harmed third-party publishers. The system, which debuted in 2021, requires users to opt-in before tracking across apps, with critics accusing Apple of using it to promote its own advertising. Despite the fine, Apple maintained the feature gives users greater control over privacy and has strong support globally. Investigations are ongoing in several European countries."

This conversation was recorded during The Jazz Cruise earlier this year, and it featured a conversation between two of our longtime favorite performers – vocalist Catherine Russell and guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli, with Catherine taking on the interviewer role.  For the last few years, John and Catherine have been performing together in a project they call 'Billie and Blue Eyes,' spotlighting the music of Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra. John talked about coming up in the jazz and music world and hanging (and playing) with legends like Benny Goodman, Les Paul, Joe Venuti, Zoot Sims, Slam Stewart, Clark Terry, George Shearing, and of course, his father Bucky. Plus, John shared some stories about working with pop icons James Taylor and Paul McCartney.

Linda Yohn speaks with jazz vocalist Catherine Russell who is releasing her new album "Send For Me" and performing at The Cube in Detroit March 22, 2025.

UN says 17,000+ children without their families in Gaza Israel's genocidal war in Gaza has seen children killed, starved, frozen to death, orphaned and separated from their families, the UN humanitarian chief has said. At a UN Security Council meeting, the humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher said that ""a generation has been traumatised." "Conservative estimates indicate that over 17,000 children are without their families in Gaza," he said. Report reveals Google's secret AI support for Israel amid war on Gaza "Google has continued providing AI technologies to Israel's military-industrial complex despite public attempts to distance itself from the country's violent aggressions, according to a report by the Washington Post. According to the newspaper's investigation, Google has been supporting Israel's Defence Ministry and military with artificial intelligence tools since the onset of its attacks on Gaza on October 7, 2023, even as its employees protested the Nimbus cloud computing contract. The company documents reveal Google expedited access to its Vertex AI service for the Israeli Defence Ministry. Internal communications show Google employees were concerned about losing potential contracts to competitors like Amazon if they did not quickly provide AI technology access." Dozens of diplomats, officials ousted in sweeping reset at State Department "In a swift and sweeping move, the Trump administration has directed dozens of senior State Department officials to step aside, triggering one of the most extensive leadership shake-ups in recent history, according to US media. Career diplomats and political appointees alike, including some in top roles overseeing US foreign policy, have been reportedly instructed to vacate their positions in recent days as President Donald Trump's team accelerates its plans to realign the Department with the administration's vision. This dramatic overhaul, which includes the departure of key figures such as John Bass and Geoff Pyatt, has sent shockwaves through Foggy Bottom." M23 rebels battling DRC army approach Goma city after seizing Sake town "Panic has spread in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo's main city, with M23 rebels steadily inching closer to Goma and seizing a nearby town as they battle the Congolese army. Bombs were heard going off in the city's distant outskirts and hundreds of wounded civilians were brought in to the main hospital from the area of the fighting. The rebel group has pushed significantly in recent weeks, closing in on Goma, which has around 2 million people and is a regional hub for security and humanitarian efforts." Climate shocks disrupted schooling for 242M children in 2024 — UN "Extreme weather disrupted the schooling of about 242 million children in 85 countries last year — roughly one in seven students, the UN children's agency has reported. It deplored what it said was an ""overlooked"" aspect of the climate crisis. Heat waves had the biggest impact, the report showed, as UNICEF's executive director Catherine Russell warned children are ""more vulnerable"" to extreme weather."

C'è il cessate il fuoco, sempre che tenga. C'è la promessa di cessate il fuoco ma ieri sono stati uccisi almeno 20 bambini e 25 donne. C'è il cessate il fuoco e ci sono le macerie. Le macerie di Gaza non sono solo pietre. Ogni frammento è il testimone muto di un'infanzia rubata, di famiglie spezzate, di sogni mai nati. I numeri dell'UNICEF sono un grido sordo: 14.500 bambini morti, migliaia di feriti, 17.000 orfani di guerra. Nella Striscia, meno della metà degli ospedali è operativa, l'acqua scarseggia, le scuole sono ombre di ciò che erano. Quasi un milione di persone è sfollato, e l'insicurezza alimentare è una condanna per tutti. Il cessate il fuoco è arrivato come un sussurro in mezzo al frastuono delle bombe, ma da solo non basta. È un fragile spiraglio che può chiudersi in un attimo, a meno che non si trasformi in una via verso una soluzione politica reale. La direttrice dell'UNICEF, Catherine Russell, ha parlato di una risposta umanitaria massiccia, indispensabile per curare le ferite di una terra agonizzante. Vaccini per 420.000 bambini, acqua potabile, assistenza psicologica, scuole da ricostruire. Ma nulla di questo avrà senso senza un impegno globale che metta fine a questo perpetuo sterminio. Ogni giorno di ritardo è un colpo inferto a chi già vive nel baratro. Le macerie di Gaza ci guardano, con il peso della nostra inadeguatezza. Non basta conteggiare i morti o inviare aiuti. La guerra è stata un fallimento e le macerie stanno lì a ricordarci che abbiamo fallito. C'è il cessate il fuoco ma la ricostruzione di Gaza non ha bisogno di mattoni e di cemento. Ha bisogno di una comunità internazionale che smentisca tutto quello che ha fatto fin qui. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Baby Face is the 1933 film that created the archetypal Barbara Stanwyck character and famously laid everything bare before the production code tried to clean up Hollywood. It's direct and “against interpretation”—but that's what makes it so compelling. Join Tim and Dan for a conversation about how the film speaks to our current moment regarding agency, exploitation, and climbing the corporate ladder. It's also a lot like Richard III. This may have been the first of Barbara Stanwyck's big roles, but it was Alfred E. Green's fifty-fourth feature, which leads to a digression about people who claim that any director did something first. So grab that suitcase of jewels, hop in the back of the ambulance, and give it a listen! In 2015, Victoria Wilson published A Life of Barbara Stanwyck: Steel True 1907-1940. We're still waiting for the next volume, but at 1,056 pages, this one will keep you busy. Also check out Catherine Russell's 2023 collection, The Cinema of Barbara Stanwyck: Twenty-Six Essays on a Working Star and Dan's interview with the author on the New Books Network.

Driven by an insatiable passion for learning, Sean's piano virtuosity evolved into a distinctive language, marking his unique presence in the jazz scene. Sean's educational path unfolded from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro to Juilliard in New York City. This transformative transition defined Sean as an artist seamlessly blending his Southern roots with the cosmopolitan essence of New York City. As the bandleader of the Sean Mason Quartet, Mason directs an ensemble celebrated for bringing to life his highly melodic, original compositions. Sean's influence also extends beyond the stage.

Matt Munisteri: I had to steal a guitar back from airport employees who were stealing it from me, and I had to do that by sneaking out on the tarmac through a back door. It was just pre 9/11, coming back from a gig in Portugal. 9/11 really changed things. Prior to that, guitars really would disappear. I know Frizzell lost guitars, at least one. I know Brian Setzer lost guitars. In the 90s, things were sort of vanishing, so this was in early 2000 or late 99, I can't remember. But yeah, these airport employees kept telling me that it wasn't there. And finally I peeked through a window and the guy was telling me it wasn't there and telling me to go home at whatever, 2, 3 in the morning.I looked and my guitar was right next to him. So I waited until I watched him walk away. And then I slid under a garage door that led out to the tarmac from the luggage area, from the luggage carousels. I stole my guitar back.George Cole: Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Hot Jazz Network Podcast. I'm your host, George Cole, and today we have a very special guest. One of the most important guitar players working in the United States today, the one and only Matt Munisteri.

When Mike casually remarked to Dan that he had just re-watched Ball of Fire, the 1941 Barbara Stanwyck / Gary Cooper screwball comedy co-written by Billy Wilder and directed by Howard Hawks, Dan replied that he had “always wanted to, but never gotten around to seeing it.” Mike made demands, Dan pressed play, and here's their conversation about what it's like when a friend takes one of your film recommendations and wholly enjoys it. They also talk about the ways in which dancing, slang, and falling in love are messier than entries in an encyclopedia—wonderfully so. Mike even compares this film to one by John Carpenter—and he's 100% correct. So stop worrying about the quest for knowledge and learn how to cha-cha! Dan has interviewed Catherine Russell on New Books in Film about her new book, The Cinema of Barbara Stanwyck. You can also find a collection of interviews with Howard Hawks here and Todd McCarthy's 2007 biography of Hawks here.

When Mike casually remarked to Dan that he had just re-watched Ball of Fire, the 1941 Barbara Stanwyck / Gary Cooper screwball comedy co-written by Billy Wilder and directed by Howard Hawks, Dan replied that he had “always wanted to, but never gotten around to seeing it.” Mike made demands, Dan pressed play, and here's their conversation about what it's like when a friend takes one of your film recommendations and wholly enjoys it. They also talk about the ways in which dancing, slang, and falling in love are messier than entries in an encyclopedia—wonderfully so. Mike even compares this film to one by John Carpenter—and he's 100% correct. So stop worrying about the quest for knowledge and learn how to cha-cha! Dan has interviewed Catherine Russell on New Books in Film about her new book, The Cinema of Barbara Stanwyck. You can also find a collection of interviews with Howard Hawks here and Todd McCarthy's 2007 biography of Hawks here.

Stella Dallas, the star vehicle for Barbara Stanwyck, hinges on a thought experiment: if you knew that by pushing a button your child would be happy for the rest of her life—but the cost of this happiness was that you could never see her again—would you do it? Mike and Dan talk about King Vidor's 1937 melodrama as an example of what movies do so well: getting viewers to understand why people make decisions that defy logic but which are emotionally reasonable. Mike calls Stella a character who exhibits the maximum of emotion with the minimum of introspection: is he correct? Skip that birthday party—no one's coming, anyway—and give this a listen! Dan interviewed Catherine Russell on New Books in Film about her 2023 book The Cinema of Barbara Stanwyck. You can find the interview here and the book here. If you're interested in the 1923 novel by Olive Higgins Prouty upon which the film is based, you can find it here. Follow us on Twitter or Letterboxd. Incredible bumper music by John Deley.

La infancia paga de manera brutal y trágica las guerras de los adultos: Desde 2005, al menos 120.000 niños en todo el mundo han resultado muertos o mutilados debido a conflictos, un promedio de casi 20 niños por día. Naciones Unidas verificó 315.000 violaciones graves perpetradas en el mismo periodo contra la infancia por partes beligerantes en más de 30 situaciones de conflicto en África, Asia, Medio Oriente y América Latina. Oslo es sede este 5 y 6 de junio de una conferencia sobre la protección de la infancia en   conflictos armados organizada por el gobierno noruego, UNICEF, Save the Children y el CICR, y en asociación con OCHA, la Unión Africana, la Oficina del SRSG para Niños y Conflictos Armados (O-SRSG CAAC) y la Alianza para la Protección de la Infancia en la Acción Humanitaria.“Los niños son particularmente vulnerables a la violencia y el abuso en situaciones de guerra y conflicto. Esta es una de las preocupaciones políticas y humanitarias más apremiantes en la actualidad y, sin embargo, sigue siendo una de las más desatendidas”, dijo la ministra de Relaciones Exteriores, Anniken Huitfeldt.“Cualquier guerra es, en última instancia, una guerra contra los niños”, dijo la directora ejecutiva de UNICEF, Catherine Russell. “La exposición al conflicto tiene efectos catastróficos que trastornan la vida de los niños”.Desde 2005 u hasta 2022, UNICEF verificó más de 300 violaciones graves contra la infancia en zonas de conflicto y guerra que incluyen:Más de 120.000 niños asesinados o mutilados.Al menos 105.000 niños reclutados o utilizados por fuerzas armadas o grupos armados.Más de 32.500 niños secuestrados.Más de 16.000 niños víctimas de violencia sexual.Naciones Unidas también ha documentado más de 16.000 ataques a escuelas y hospitales, y más de 22.000 casos de denegación de ayuda humanitaria a niños.Teniendo en cuenta solo los casos que pudieron verificarse, el número real probablemente sea mucho mayor.Además, millones de otros niños han sido desplazados de sus hogares y comunidades, han perdido amigos o familiares o han sido separados de sus padres o cuidadores.UNICEF insta a los gobiernos a asumir nuevos compromisos ambiciosos para:Respetar e implementar las leyes y normas internacionales ya vigentes para proteger a los niños en tiempos de guerra, lo que incluye: mantener las escuelas, los hospitales y otros lugares protegidos, como las instalaciones de agua y saneamiento, contra ataques; poner fin al reclutamiento y uso de niños por parte de grupos y fuerzas armadas; poner fin al uso de armas explosivas en zonas pobladas.Hacer que los perpetradores de violaciones de los derechos del niño rindan cuentas.Aumentar los recursos esenciales para financiar la protección de los niños en los conflictos, en un volumen y ritmo acordes con las necesidades crecientes. Esto debería cubrir tanto las inversiones en la respuesta humanitaria como en la fuerza laboral nacional de protección infantil.UNICEF también hace un llamado a los actores humanitarios para que inviertan en políticas que coloquen a los niños y su protección en el centro de la acción humanitaria en situaciones de conflicto armado a la altura de los desafíos que enfrentamos”, dijo Catherine Russell. “Debemos hacer todo lo que esté a nuestro alcance para ayudar a todos los niños necesitados, especialmente a los más vulnerables. Los servicios de protección infantil deben basarse en los sistemas y estructuras comunitarios existentes y apoyar los derechos, la participación y el interés superior de los niños. Los programas y la promoción en estos contextos siempre deben colocar a los niños y su protección en el centro de la acción humanitaria”.Un nuevo análisis de Humanitarian Funding Forecasting, encargado por UNICEF, Save the Children, Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action y Global Child Protection Area of ​​Responsibility, encuentra que para 2024, el sector de protección infantil necesitará 1050 millones de dólares y $1.37 mil millones para 2026, para satisfacer las necesidades de protección de los niños en los conflictos armados. Estos incluyen servicios esenciales como la reunificación familiar, el apoyo a la salud mental y la prevención del reclutamiento en grupos armados. This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/3279340/advertisement

From The Lady Eve, to The Big Valley, Barbara Stanwyck played parts that showcased her multidimensional talents but also illustrated the limits imposed on women in film and television. Catherine Russell's A to Z consideration of the iconic actress analyzes twenty-six facets of Stanwyck and the America of her times. Russell examines Stanwyck's work onscreen against the backdrop of costuming and other aspects of filmmaking. But she also views the actress's off-screen performance within the Hollywood networks that made her an industry favorite and longtime cornerstone of the entertainment community. Russell's montage approach coalesces into an engrossing portrait of a singular artist whose intelligence and savvy placed her center-stage in the production of her films and in the debates around women, femininity, and motherhood that roiled mid-century America. Original and rich, The Cinema of Barbara Stanwyck: Twenty-Six Short Essays on a Working Star (U Illinois Press, 2023) is an essential and entertaining reexamination of an enduring Hollywood star. Catherine Russell is Distinguished University Professor of Film Studies at Concordia University in Montreal. She goes by Katie, she sings in a choir, and she has two cats. In the summer she lives in Georgian Bay, Ontario. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers, he teaches research and writing at Rutgers and co-hosts the podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics, found at https://fifteenminutefilm.podb... and on Twitter @15MinFilm.

Ripoti ya shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto (UNICEF) imeeleza kwamba vitendo vya ndoa za utotoni vimeendelea kupungua duniani ingawa upunguzaji huo hauna kasi ya kutosha kufikia lengo la kutokomeza ndoa za utotoni ifikapo mwaka 2030 kama yalivyo Malengo ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Maendeleo Endelevu, SDGs.Kupitia ripoti hiyo ya UNICEF iliyotolewa usiku wa kuamkia leo Jumatano kwa saa za New York, Marekani, takwimu zinazoonesha kupungua kwa ndoa za utotoni duniani zimechangiwa zaidi na kupungua kwa vitendo hivyo nchini India nchi yenye watu wengi zaidi na ambayo imekuwa ikiukumbatia utamaduni huu.  Pamoja na kupungua huko kwa vitendo vya kuozesha watoto, UNICEF inasema India inasalia kuwa na idadi kubwa zaidi duniani ya watoto wanaoolewa.  Hata hivyo ripoti hiyo inaeleza kuwa ingawa baadhi ya maeneo ya dunia yameshudia kupungua kwa vitendo vya ndoa katika umri mdogo, mataifa mengine yamekwama hasa zaidi katika eneo la Afŕika Maghaŕibi na Kati, kanda inayotajwa kuwa yenye matukio mengi zaidi ya ndoa za utotoni. Nchi nyingi katika kanda hii, hasa zile za Sahel, zimekumbwa na migogoro inayoendelea ambayo inazidisha mazingira magumu kwa wasichana. Kanda nyingine yenye maendeleo madogo katika ndoa za watoto ni Amerika Kusini na Karibea. Katika eneo hili, mapungufu makubwa katika makundi ya kijamii na kiuchumi yanaonesha kuwa ndoa za utotoni ni suala lililokita mizizi miongoni mwa jamii maskini. Aidha ripoti hii imeeleza kwamba nchi nyingine zaidi ya India ambazo zimeonesha kupunguza ndoa za utotoni ingawa kwa miaka mingi zilishamiri kwa matukio haya ni Bangladesh na Ethiopia huku Rwanda na Maldives zikitajwa kuwa nchi ambazo tangu awali zimekuwa na matukio machache ya ndoa za utotoni na wanakaribia kuvitokomeza kabisa vitendo hivyo. Ingawa ripoti inasema kuwa licha ya maendeleo haya kiasi yaliyopatikana kimataifa kasi bado ni ndogo mno na ikiendelea hivi inaweza kuchukua miaka 300 hadi kutokomeza kabisa ndoa za utotoni, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa UNICEF, Catherine Russell ana matumaini akisema, "Tumethibitisha kwamba maendeleo ya kukomesha ndoa za utotoni yanawezekana. Inahitaji msaada usioyumba kwa wasichana na familia zilizo katika mazingira hatarishi. Ni lazima kuzingatia kuwaweka wasichana shuleni na kuhakikisha wanapata fursa za kiuchumi." 

Washington Post senior writer Frances Stead Sellers speaks with UNICEF's executive director Catherine Russell about key findings from the new report, “The State of the World's Children 2023: For Every Child, Vaccination,” which shows declining immunization rates for children's vaccinations across a host of countries. Conversation recorded on Monday, April 24, 2023.
