Civil society groups have warned the risk of sexual violence in Sudan is so severe that some women are taking their own lives. Campaigners have told the BBC of several cases of women taking their lives, either after enduring sexual violence or to avoid it. On Tuesday, a major UN report highlighted 'staggering' levels of sexual violence in Sudan, attributing the worst atrocities to the paramilitary RSF group.

Recently we spoke about Hydrotreated Vegetable oil as an alternative, cleaner fuel for companies and households. But what about Biomethane or Bio Compressed natural gas made from food and animal waste? It cuts nasty emissions for trucks by 90% and Flogas is already one of the companies offering Bio CNG a filling station.Paddy Phelan from South East Energy Agency wrote a report into Bio CNG and Paddy joined Joe this morning on the show.

Remember the days when the gas delivery man would come to our homes to switch out our gas tanks or gas cylinders?  That's probably becoming a thing of the past, making today's “Under The Radar” conversation all the more meaningful.  With over 40 years of operating track record, our guest Union Gas Holdings is an established provider of fuel products in Singapore. The company's key businesses consist of Retail Liquefied Petroleum Gas, Compressed Natural Gas and Diesel.  The SGX mainboard listed company is also said to be one of the leading suppliers of liquefied petroleum gas in Singapore.  It has a fleet of over 200 vehicles serving more than 200,000 domestic households as well as commercial entities such as hawker centres, eating houses, coffee shops and commercial central kitchen.  Assets-wise, the Group owns LPG storage depots as well as two out of four bottling LPG bottling plants in the island, giving it full control of the supply chain from procurement to bottling, storage, distribution, wholesaling and retailing.  Union Gas is an interesting company to look at particularly as households and F&B operators increasingly hop onto the green bandwagon, opting for electric stoves versus using gas stoves.  What does this mean for the firm when it boils down to demand for gas cylinders and cooking gas, and how is it switching up its portfolio offerings to prepare for a cleaner future? Speaking of which, Union Gas Holdings had in April this year expanded its offerings to provide electric vehicle charging services through a partnership with Hong Kong-based charging service provider Deltrix. But what can we expect on this front?  Also – how will moving away from traditional fuel sources also help the firm mitigate volatilities with oil and gas prices given ongoing geopolitical tensions in key supply markets? On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Alexis Teo, General Manager, Union Gas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More and more light-duty truck and van fleets are turning to compressed natural gas as a cleaner alternative fuel. But it can be very expensive to start up such an operation which is why our next guest's technology that can dramatically lower that capital investment was a finalist at the most recent Innovision technology awards program. Mike Switzer interviews Erik Versen with Ingevity in North Charleston, SC.

The seven-member body is the lead advisory panel on items of land use and planning in the city. Here’s City Councilor Heather Hill making the motion.“I move that City Council appoint Karim Habbab to the Planning Commission,” Hill said. Habbab is an associate architect with BRW Architects, according to a bio on the firm’s website. He is a native of Jordan and the son of two architects. He moved to Charlottesville in 2011 to attend the University of Virginia. Now, let’s go back to the most recent meeting of the Charlottesville Planning Commission from June 9. At the beginning of each meeting, Commissioners give updates from the various committees they are on. William Palmer is a planner with the Office of the Architect at the University of Virginia. He sits on the Planning Commission in a non-voting capacity under the terms of a 1986 agreement. He noted that earlier this month, the Board of Visitors were told of a $50 million gift from Martha and Bruce Karsh to create the Karsh Institute of Democracy. (read the UVA Today story)“That’ll lead probably to another building at the Emmet Ivy corridor to kind of complement what’s already under planning there, the Data Science institute and the hotel and conference center,” Palmer said. According to UVA Today, the building for the Karsh Institute of Democracy will be ready in 2026. The University will match the $50 million gift. Next, Commissioner Jody Lahendro reported from the Tree Commission, which earlier this month signed off on the United States Department of Agriculture’s plan to introduce wasps at the Ragged Mountain Natural Area to fight off infestations of the Emerald Ash Borer. “It’s going to be a five-year study and will be completely funded by the USDA,” Lahendro said. “This is a study that’s actually been ongoing since 2007 and has now been started in over 29 states.”The Planning Commission is next scheduled to meet again on June 29 for a work session on the next steps for the Cville Plans Together initiative. Habbab joins the Planning Commission as one phase of the Comprehensive Plan ends and another moves forward. The comment period on the Future Land Use Map ended June 13.The consultants report that there were at least 1,137 emails, 37 voicemails from 26 individuals, and several signatures to various petition campaigns. Over 220 people left over 700 comments on an interactive version of the Future Land Use Map. Those are now all visible. The June 29 work session will see a timeline for how the rest of the process will play out. Here’s Alexander Ikefuna, the director of Neighborhood Development Services (NDS)“We have enabled staff and the consultant to prepare an informed timeline on how the final draft document makes its way to the Planning Commission and the City Council for joint public hearing and subsequently for the Council for final consideration,” Ikefuna said. A rewrite of the zoning code would begin in full earnest after the Comprehensive Plan is adopted. Planning Commission Chair Hosea Mitchell was clear that the process will take time. “This is a vision document, the Future Land Use Map is a vision document,” Mitchell said. “We are a ways away from rezoning. We are ways away from things like R-1 going away. Based on this vision document, R-1 is not going away.”This review of the Comprehensive Plan began in January 2017 and since then, there has been much turnover and only Commissioners Lahendro and Taneia Dowell are still on the body. Missy Creasy, the deputy director of NDS, offered some perspective on how the process has been intended to be proactive.“The commission really came at this from, ‘something is going to happen to our community, we know that we’re seeing growth and we want to consciously make decisions about how that happens and now allow something to happen to us,’” Creasy said. Stay tuned for June 29. (June 29 meeting info) There’s another meeting happening on June 29 about a topic that is perhaps just as important as a discussion of the Future Land Use Map. It’s definitely related. Charlottesville Area Transit has been working with the Connetics Transportation Group and Kimley-Horn on an update of the system. I’ve reported on the potential changes, as has Allison Wrabel in the Daily Progress in a story from March 1.  This event is being held as a general overview of the changes, and two public engagement sessions will be held before Council makes a decision to approve the changes. (meeting info)One of the changes would see Route 8 transferred into a line that would run between the Willoughby Shopping Center on 5th Street extended in Charlottesville to Stonefield. More on transit later on in in this installment. For now, we have to keep moving.In the June 23 installment of this program, we heard a little from the Places29-Hydraulic Community Advisory Committee. I did not include an update from Stonefield mostly because I ran out of time. But before we move on with today’s show, and with the idea of a more direct transit route connecting Stonefield with Charlottesville, let’s hear from Stonefield’s manager Samantha Strong on some recent updates. “We were very excited just in the past few weeks,” Strong said. “We had Sunglass Hut open up their location with us. Splendora from the Downtown Mall has now opened up her location. So get excited. Come get some gelato.”The building that had been occupied by Pier 1 imports will be split into spaces for more than one business.“The first one that will be coming in is Torchy’s Tacos, so get excited for some tacos and margaritas out of Austin, Texas,” Strong said.  “And just upcoming we have Ronnie Megginson with Kulture Vibez. We have Team Hair Studios that’s going to be opening up within the next month. And we also have Akira Ramen and Sushi. Those are all going to be opening on the north side.”Strong said the Regal movie theater is open again. She said merchants and business owners are seeing new vibrancy.“May of 2021 for some of them was actually the best month of sales they have had ever since they opened,” Strong said. The Friends of the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library are having a Warehouse Sale at Albemarle Square Shopping Center (300 Albemarle Square) Friday, July 9 through Sunday, July 11 from 10 to 6 each day. There will be Fiction, Mysteries, SciFi and Fantasy, Cookbooks, Military, Biographies and YA and Children’s Books There will be a capacity limit of 80 shoppers. Proceeds benefit our regional public library system, JMRL, serving Charlottesville, Albemarle, Greene, Louisa and Nelson.Now on to more from the Charlottesville City Council meeting from Monday, June 21, 2021. City Manager Chip Boyles said notices has been given to nearby battlefields and museums notifying them of the city’s interest in getting rid of two Confederate statues that are currently in city parks. Three responses of interest had been received by Monday. “Two are in state, and one from out of state,” Boyles said. Boyles said City Hall is expecting to return to normal operations in September. “At which time, all public meetings, boards and commissions will begin to meet in person,” Boyles said. In the past fifteen months, government meetings have moved online. Vice Mayor Sena Magill wondered if staff could be allowed to appear at meetings remotely rather than be present in Council Chambers.“I want to take whatever positives we can from this pandemic and provide as much flexibility as technology allows,” Magill said. Boyles said that he thought that would be possible.“Our understanding right now is that in the case of City Council the elected officials will have to be physically present but staff could do either,” Boyles said.Charlottesville Mayor Nikuyah Walker said she wanted to limit the number of people in Chambers out of continued health concerns.“We’re talking about that time of year,” Walker said. “It’s going to be flu season picking up, regular colds in that fall and winter season so hopefully by then there will be some changes to how they are looking at this from a federal and state level.”Interviews for the Director of Neighborhood Development Services position began today. Later in the meeting, there was a public hearing on appropriations of $5.3 million in supplemental funds for Charlottesville Area Transit. Garland Williams is the director of CAT. “What we have is a combination of capital and operating dollars,” Williams said. “The capital is $4.32 million which will allow us to buy rolling stock which means buses, support vehicles.” About $630,000 transfers through to Jaunt for their services. Councilor Michael Payne asked if the eleven buses planned for purchase were to build capacity or replace an aging fleet. Four of them are new vehicles and the rest are replacements. They will all be diesel engines, but Williams said future purchases could use alternative fuels.“We are actually undertaking a study that will allow us to see whether we should be looking at doing whether it is [Compressed Natural Gas] or electric vehicles of a combination of the two,” Williams said. “The electric vehicle component for transit is coming and its coming quickly but its relatively new.”Williams estimated there would be enough testing and experience with electric transit fleets for the technology to become more widespread.  One issue in this community is the topography and the need for a drivetrain that power up hills.

The Federal Government plans to review the prices of gas consumed across the country. The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, said the move would help deepen the use Liquefied Petroleum Gas, popularly called cooking gas, as well as Compressed Natural Gas. The Federal Government targets to move motorists from the use of petrol to the use of CNG in their respective vehicles. Sylva, according to a statement from his ministry on Tuesday, said the government would continue to push for the use of gas for cooking and in automobiles. He disclosed the plan of government to review the country’s domestic gas pricing framework at the inauguration of a committee that would focus on gas sector review in Nigeria. The minister said the committee would evaluate and review gas prices nationwide in order to align with the current economic realities. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mahanagar Gas Limited has decided to cut prices of Compressed Natural Gas. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/latestnewssuno/support

The Federal Government on Thursday said it would crash the price of petrol by providing Compressed Natural Gas as an alternative source of fuel for vehicles nationwide.The CNG is a fuel that can be used in the place of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly known as petrol. It can also be used in the place of diesel and Liquefied Petroleum Gas.The minister of state for petroleum resources, Timbre Sylva, Speaking on what the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources would work on this year during a press conference in Abuja, stated that the Federal Government was working for the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill before May.He further stated that moves by the Federal Government to recover $62bn from international oil companies were seemingly impossible, as no such money was sitting anywhere to be harvested by the country.Sylva declared that the Nigerian oil and gas sector was retrogressing, particularly when compared to the oil sector of other nations and the use of petrol had caused a serious drain on the finances of the Federal Government as a result of the continued subsidy on the commodity.The minister said findings by the government showed that the CNG cost less than the subsidized PMS and that once the CNG was fully deployed, the price of fuel would crash stating that the subsidized rate of the PMS per liter is N145 but the CNG cost between N95 to N97 per liter.He said Nigeria had abundant gas and that deploying the CNG would not be tough for the country.The minister further stated that recovering $62bn from international oil companies by the government based on an October 17 judgment of the Supreme Court is vain, Stating that it is practically impossible to recoup such funds from the IOCs. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support Learn more about your ad choices.

"President-elect Donald Trump will nominate ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson for secretary of state, according to two sources close to the transition. The sources warned that nothing is official until the president-elect announces it, which is likely to come over the next few days. Trump told Chris Wallace on â??Fox News Sundayâ?? that he was â??getting very, very closeâ?? to an official announcement. In another Cabinet development, Trump officially announced Monday morning that he plans to nominate retired Marine Gen. John Kelly for secretary of the Homeland Security Department. Trump had been widely expected to announce the former U.S. Southern Command leader for the post. Trump met with Tillerson earlier this week, whose company is based in dozens of countries across six continents and has business dealings in Russia, Yemen and other political hot spots. A source close to Trump told Fox News on Friday that the president-elect was impressed with Tillerson. Trump spoke highly of Tillerson on â??Fox News Sunday,â?? saying that he was â??much more than a business executive.â?? â??He's in charge of an oil company that's pretty much double the size of his next nearest competitor. â??Itâ??s been a company that's been unbelievably managed-and to me a great advantage is he knows many of the players-and he knows them well, he does massive deals in Russia, he does massive deals-for the company, not for himself for the company.â??

The government talks of alternative fuels, but what they don't want you to know is that they want prices to soar to over ten dollars a gallon. What they don't want you to know is that they have been holding back the technology to create or release alternative fuels. What they don't want you to know is that they want you to be a slave to gasoline forever; because gasoline is run by those that would be in control.

  Host Kathy Sipple speaks with Carl Lisek from South Shore Clean Cities about NIPSCO’s IN-Charge Electric Vehicle Program and the incentives that this program brings to Northern Indiana. They will also discuss current projects focused on compressed natural gas (CNG) and diesel emission reductions.

The Port of San Diego’s vehicle fleet has become more environmentally friendly. Three compressed natural gas (CNG) Honda Civics recently joined the fleet, replacing older, gas fueled cars. “The compressed natural gas vehicles will reduce air emissions and help reduce the Port’s carbon footprint,” said David Merk, Director of Environmental Services for the Port of San Diego.Press Release
