Ghana's high levels of public debt is likely to remain a concern for investors in the years ahead. According to Fitch Solutions 4th Quarter 2021 Country Report, a sustained fiscal deficit – albeit a moderately narrowing one – will see the country's debt stock continue to rise over the coming years.

Auckland's Level Four lockdown could be making the grass even greener on the other side.  Real estate agents in regions such as Tauranga are reporting record levels of interest from Auckland home buyers. Some are even making lockdown sales where the buyers haven't been able to see the property.  Valocity valuation director James Wilson told Kate Hawkesby it was already happening pre-lockdown, but now it's coming to a head. "We've now seeing and hearing those stories around interest levels spiking, you look at agencies reporting massive interest for listings that do come up." LISTEN ABOVE  

We think of citizenship as a binary category: you're either a citizen or you're not. But the levels of membership can be complex. Refugees and asylum seekers often find that the criteria for acceptance change, as states devise rationales to exclude them. Three Weatherhead Center sociologists reveal the motivations behind various immigration policies, from the colonial past to the present, and discuss the ethics and impact of open borders.In this episode, Elke Winter explains the different pathways to citizenship, not only for “economic immigrants” but also for refugees and asylum seekers. From an historical perspective, Anna Skarpelis reminds us that some groups have had citizenship imposed on them, in the case of territorial annexation. In the United States, asylum and immigration laws seem to change with each new administration, and Talia Shiff documents some of the impact of the recent changes during the Trump administration.After World War II, the UN Declaration of Human Rights established that all human beings have the right to basic food, shelter, and security, and the right to freedom of movement—even if they cannot access these rights in their own countries. But nations have likely always strayed from these humanitarian values as their geopolitical goals change. Our scholars show how strategic interests and even race come into play, unofficially, to drive prevailing immigration policies. Finally, our scholars delve into the philosophical and ethical context for having more open borders and touch on the economic impact of immigration. On a philosophical level, they raise the questions: What do we owe others? Can a nation redress its colonial legacy through immigration policy? Do developed nations have a moral obligation to those in poorer regions who are trying to find a secure home?With an estimated eighty million people on Earth in flux and looking for permanent settlement, our scholars stress that no single country can resolve this crisis on its own. Host:Erin Goodman, Director, Weatherhead Scholars Program.Guests:Talia Shiff, Affiliate, Weatherhead Research Cluster on Comparative Inequality and Inclusion.

Human Right as enshrined in the constitution stipulates the right of everyone to basics of existence as human. It is universal and must be respected by all for mutual coexistence. Human Rights stipulates the minimum standards for human behavior which are guaranteed by local and international laws. The international Bill of Rights outlines basic Human rights to include; The right to equality and freedom of discrimination, the right to life, liberty, and personal security, Freedom from torture and degrading treatment, the right to fair trial, the right privacy, freedom of belief and religion and freedom of opinion among others. The Human Rights Commission exist to ensure that minimum global standards are met in terms of protecting the rights of citizens. However, the recently released 2020 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices in Nigeria by the US Department of State, Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labour observed Significant human rights abuses in Nigeria to include: unlawful and arbitrary killings by both government and non-state actors; forced disappearances by the government, terrorists, and criminal groups; torture and cases of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment by the government and terrorist groups; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary detention by government and non-state actors; political prisoners; serious problems with the independence of the judiciary; arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy; serious abuses in an internal conflict, including killing and torture of civilians; serious restrictions on free expression, the press, and the internet, including the existence of criminal libel laws; substantial interference with the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of association, severe restrictions on religious freedom; serious acts of corruption among others. Several stakeholders had spoked out against existing Human rights abuses in Nigeria. But the government had in its usual manner downplayed such allegations. In view of all these, what is the impact of these rights abuses on freedom of expression by citizens? How does it affect community advocacy for development? How can CSOs and FBOs be strengthened to promote and protect the rights of citizens from being trampled by state and non-state actors alike? How can citizens be better enlightened about their Fundamental rights? How can citizens be advocates of Human rights as we seek to unite our communities for Peace and security? How can existing platforms for protecting the rights of citizens be leveraged? All these and many more will form the basis of our discussion on this edition of Building Bridges as we highlight issues from relevant sections of the 2020 Country Report on Human Right Practices in Nigeria with Barr. Matthew Bala.

In this episode I talk about how I went to the country of Georgia to kill some time before a conference I was going to. Georgia is my favorite country out of the 90+ that I have travelled to! The combination of alcohol that flows like water, beautiful scenery, great food, great people, cheap prices, great hospitality, unique language, unique culture and many more things make it amazing! I was a bit nervous to go back and possibly to discover it wasn't so great but that wasn't the case! I checked out other areas and it was even more spectacular than I remember! In the end I also had a reunion with a random guy I met 7 years ago! I found him in a city of about 100k residence and we were able to eat, drink and reminisce about that time and the 7 years since then.  I highly recommend travelling to Georgia!

In this episode, I talk about my final leg of my 3 month trip after being deported from Germany.   After finishing my meeting with my mom in Mongolia I went back to finish off the rest of Russia. Through Chita where I was on a TV news program, to the frozen swampland of Yakutsk, to the Alaskan-sister region of Kamchatka, and finally to Vladivostok. I also talk about my epic 164 hour (7 day) Trans-Siberian train ride all the way across Russia.   It has been a good trip and although it might be too long for others to manage, I highly recommend it.

In this episode I am joined by my mom who I met in Mongolia and travelled together for 3 weeks. We talk about our experiences, our likes, our dislikes, and some of our takeaways from this trip. We talk about the Xhovsgul lake stay in the north, our trip to the Gobi desert, and of course our 3 day horse trip. We had a great time and it can easily rank as one of the most interesting and adventurous trips we have been on.

This is my report about my first half of my Russian travels. Coming into Sochi and working my way through Kazan, Krasnoyarsk, Lake Baikal and finally off to Mongolia. This was an interesting trip full of 36 hour train rides, hiking, and almost watching somebody die.   I finally put together my itinerary and was able to sacrifice spontaneity for a well organized plan. I saw some of the most interesting places including the paradise of Sochi, the incredible architecture of Kazan, the outdoor activities of Krasnoyarsk, and of course the spiritual Lake Baikal.

Prinestrovia / Transnistra is a weird little country that is unrecognized. Since it is officially part of Moldova but doesn't like Moldova's western attitudes, it has been its own Soviet-leaning country for over 20 years now. More or less it consists of the main city of Tiraspol and that's about it.  It has issued its own money (some of which is plastic) and has its own border even though only 2 other countries in the world recognize it as autonomous. It was exactly my kind of place to celebrate my birthday! It is a very cool place although you can imagine it has some headaches associated with this status

This is a country that I didn't know existed a few years ago. Although I consider myself good at geography I could not have told you where it was! One of the coolest things in this country is that it is functionally bilingual. Both Russian and Moldovan / Romanian are languages you can converse in within the country. I had never really seen a place like this especially with such different languages.  Otherwise I didn't really venture too much outside of the main city of Chisnau and didn't spend too much time in the country. But the impressions of the place are still interesting!

In this first country report I talk about the first country that I went to after being deported from Germany. I came into Ukraine about 2 years after the revolution that brought the country to its knees. However, you can hardly tell and it is very beautiful in many parts. Of course there are many areas that are still unsafe but generally these are hard to get to.   This country is very nice and very cheap. Bad news for the country means good news for you and the result is one of the cheapest countries in the world! Also some of the stories of the war from some of the locals are some of the most interesting thing you will ever hear!   I recommend checking out Ukraine!

Speciale XIX Conferenza internazionale sull’AIDS a Washington Oltre 25.000 scienziati, politici, attivisti e star si ritrovano fino al 27 luglio a Washington per la XIX Conferenza internazionale Aids. Il tema è di portata storica: invertire la marea della malattia. Per la prima volta la scienza ha fornito armi potenzialmente in grado di porre fine alla epidemia di Aids nel mondo. -LILA: pochi soldi per la prevenzione ‘Invertire la marea’ è lo slogan che la Lega Italiana per la Lotta contro l'Aids fa proprio, per chiedere al nostro governo di cambiare le sue politiche di prevenzione delle infezioni da Hiv. La fotografia che esce dal “Country Report” biennale, appena inviato dal ministero della Salute all'UNAIDS, è di un'unica spesa di prevenzione indirizzata alla “comunicazione”, che in Italia è stata complessivamente, nel 2011, di 180 mila euro. -In Africa aumenta la resistenza ai farmaci E' preoccupante l'aumento della resistenza ai farmaci contro il virus dell'Hiv. Un fenomeno che si e' verificato negli ultimi 10 anni soprattutto nei Paesi dell'Africa Sub-Sahariana. A lanciare l'allarme è uno studio dell'OMS e dell’University College of London, pubblicato su 'Lancet'. -Crescono infezioni tra giovani omossessuali di colore Tassi preoccupanti di nuove infezioni del virus dell'Hiv stanno colpendo i giovani omosessuali e bisessuali di colore. A rivelarlo sono i dati dello studio dell'HivTrials Network (Hptn) presentati oggi al Congresso di Washington. Dalla ricerca emerge che il tasso complessivo di nuove infezioni tra i ragazzi di colore omosessuali e bisessuali è del 2,8% all'anno, quasi il 50% in più rispetto ai coetanei bianchi. -La terapia va iniziata prima I trattamenti antiretrovirali contro il virus Hiv andrebbero iniziati nel momento in cui il paziente scopre di essere sieropositivo, e non quando si iniziano a manifestare i primi segni della malattia. -‘She European Program’ e Bristol –Myers Squibb lanciano una nuova risorsa web al femminile La metà dei 34 milioni di persone con HIV in tutto il mondo è donna e il virus rappresenta la principale causa di morte per quelle in età fertile. All’universo femminile è rivolto “SHE” (Strong, HIV positive, Empowered Women/Strong, Hiv positive Women Educational Program), il primo programma educazionale in Europa (dalla diagnosi alle terapie, dalla vita sessuale alla gravidanza), disponibile online su www.SHEprogramma.it.
