Podcasts about cyclone mocha

As recovery efforts continue in Rakhine after Cyclone Mocha, some children are missing out on their education. Homes, schools and crops were damaged in the cyclone and many families are struggling just for basic survival. This week's story is by a Doh Athan freelance journalist.

San Thai Shin is a Rohingya researcher and volunteer teacher in a refugee camp in Bangladesh. In his essay, San looks at how restrictive policies suppress refugees' economic potential, forcing many into a situation of dependency rather than allowing them to contribute to the societies they live in.  The New Humanitarian aims to amplify the voices of refugees, asylum seekers, and people affected by conflict and disaster - placing them at the centre of the conversations about the policies and events that shape their lives.

It's Monday, June 19th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus.  (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus 30,000 people dead in Myanmar's civil war The two-year civil war in Myanmar, previously known as Burma, has killed an estimated 30,000 people and displaced some two million more, reports International Christian Concern. Not surprisingly, there is wide dissatisfaction with the military junta that threw out the elected government and took over the country in early 2021. The junta invaded and worked destruction in Christian areas such as the Karen, Kachin, and Chin states, but recently even the majority Burmese in central Myanmar have become disgusted with the junta's actions. Many now back the National Union Government group in opposing the junta. The ethnic groups have killed an estimated 15,000 junta troops, though not a sizable number in an army of 170,000. Conversely, the army has destroyed scores of villages and churches among the predominantly Christian ethnic groups. They even prevented aid from reaching the people in the Rakhine state after Cyclone Mocha hit there in May. Pray for peace in Myanmar. Matthew 5:9 says, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” Juneteenth celebration turns tragic Today is Juneteenth, a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African-Americans. Deriving its name from combining June and nineteenth, it is celebrated on the anniversary of the order by Union Major General Gordon Granger proclaiming freedom for slaves in Texas on June 19, 1865. Tragically, over the weekend, ABC News reports that at least 23 people were injured, one fatally, when gunfire erupted early Sunday morning at a Juneteenth celebration in suburban Chicago where 300-400 people were celebrating. Witness #1: “Out of nowhere, there was, like, a major gunfight for, like, 30 seconds. I'd say 60-plus, you know, rounds.” Witness #2: “We went down the street to see what was going on. And we just saw a bunch of people running.” The shooting unfolded about 12:30 a.m.  in the parking lot of a strip mall in Willowbrook, about 23 miles west of Chicago.   Witness #3: “There was just like hundreds of cop cars. They had everything closed. No one could get through. There was just tons of ambulances. It was crazy. It was very hectic.” No arrests have been announced. An unknown number of suspects fired multiple rounds from multiple weapons into the crowd.  And a motive for the shooting is under investigation. Chinese bought influence with $10 million to Biden Family As I guest host for Kevin Swanson today on Generations Radio, I interview Kevin Jackson, a former Fox News contributor, about how bank records reveal that the Biden Family has received $10 million from China and foreign interests. JACKSON: “We have a criminal in the office, in the Oval Office, who is openly in business with the Chinese government and Chinese spies. “We're talking about chump change for these guys to feather their nests and to sell us out to the Chinese, the Russians, and the Ukrainians.” In essence, China has bribed the president and his family to do their bidding.  Learn about how that $10 million of money from the Chinese to the Bidens has impacted American foreign policy. To hear the entire 27-minute interview, go to Generations.org/radio. “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence” honored at Dodgers' stadium And finally, last Friday, the Dodgers baseball team honored a male drag queen group, dressed as demonic-looking caricatures of Catholic nuns, at their Homosexual Transgender Pride Night celebration.  Known as the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, these men, who wear gaudy make-up, traditional nuns' habits, and mock the cross like Madonna, embrace the slogan “Go forth and sin some more,” a blatant mockery of Jesus Christ's words to a woman caught in adultery found in John 8:11. Listen to a portion of the Dodgers' announcement from Friday night. ANNOUNCER: “[The Dodgers honor] the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence for their outstanding service to the LGBTQ+ community.” Founded in 1979, this sexually depraved group stages a “Hunky Jesus” contest every Easter Sunday among other unmentionable antics.  They describe themselves as “an order of queer and trans nuns.” Unbelievably, one homosexual man claimed the drag queens were Christ-like. Listen. MAN #1: “They exemplify Christian values more than any so-called people that are against the queer community. So, I think they're amazing!” Disturbingly, the L.A. Dodgers awarded these drag queens with their “Community Hero” award.  Initially, after the Major League Baseball team had announced they planned to honor the sexually perverted group, they got such big pushback from Catholics and Protestants alike, that they rescinded the invitation. But then, the Los Angeles-area sexually perverted groups were so loud in their objection to the cancellation, that the Dodgers chose to apologize and re-invite the so-called “Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,” reported The Daily Wire.  One homosexual man in Los Angeles was thrilled. MAN: “I'm glad the Dodgers re-invited them. for sure. I think a lesson to be learned through all this is: ‘Don't back down to bullies.' I think of all the time to be prideful, this is it!” Proverbs 16:18 says, “Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.” Thankfully, the Dodgers team gave the fake male nuns the award one hour before the game at which time few Dodgers fans were sitting in their chairs. However, outside the stadium, 5,000 Catholics and Protestants participated in a prayer rally, as they registered their anger with the baseball team management, reports LifeSiteNews.com. A speaker lifted up the name of Jesus. PRAYER RALLY SPEAKER: “Jesus Christ is not only our Lord, He's the Lord of America.” And a Catholic man took direct issue with the mockery of Catholic nuns. CATHOLIC MAN: “Yeah, my concern is that they're not sisters and they're ridiculing the good sisters in the Catholic Church.” Those who have objected include Washington Nationals pitcher Trevor Williams, Florida Republican Senator Marco Rubio, and even Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw who took issue with his own employer, reports The Los Angeles Times. Providentially, the Dodgers lost the game to the San Francisco Giants 7-5 in the 11th inning.

This week on Beyond The Headlines, host Anjana Sankar looks at one of the most distressing stories of despair and survival coming out of Myanmar in the aftermath of the cyclone.

It's Thursday, May 18th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Sec. of State: Religious persecution continues globally The U.S. State Department released its 2022 Report on International Religious Freedom on Monday.  The report found some countries improved like Brazil. However, Secretary of State Antony Blinken noted the trend of religious discrimination continues globally.  BLINKEN: “Unfortunately, the report also documents the continuation, and in some instances, the rise of very troubling trends. Governments in many parts of the world continue to target religious minorities using a host of methods including torture, beatings, unlawful surveillance, and so-called re-education camps.” The report documented religious freedom violations in many countries, including Afghanistan, China, Iran, Iraq, Myanmar, Nicaragua, and Nigeria. These countries are also on the Open Doors World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian. Category 5 storm hits Myanmar Speaking of Myanmar, a category 5 storm slammed into the coast of the Southeast Asian country on Sunday. Cyclone Mocha made landfall in Myanmar's western Rakhine State with winds of over 150 miles per hour. The storm led to the deaths of at least six people and caused extensive damage. Hundreds of thousands of people had to evacuate as the cyclone approached.  The disaster only adds to the humanitarian crisis in the area. The region is a battleground between pro-democracy forces and Myanmar's military government, leading to the displacement of over a million people.  JPMorgan Chase aided Jeffrey Epstein, discriminates against Christians & pro-lifers JPMorgan Chase is in hot water lately.  The  U.S. Virgin Islands government believes the bank giant aided Jeffry Epstein in sex trafficking acts. The government's latest action in the lawsuit was to subpoena tech billionaire Elon Musk for information in the case.  Meanwhile, 19 Republican attorneys general in the U.S. are calling out JPMorgan Chase for religious discrimination. A letter from the attorneys general documented how the bank has closed the accounts of religious, conservative, and pro-life groups. The letter stated, “This discrimination is unacceptable. Chase must stop such behavior and align its business practices with the anti-discrimination policies that Chase proclaims.” North Carolina legislature overrides pro-abortion Governor Cooper's veto On Tuesday, North Carolina's legislature voted to override Democratic Governor Roy Cooper's veto of an anti-abortion bill. The 12-week abortion ban is now law. It prohibits the killing of unborn babies in most cases after 12 weeks of pregnancy. The state already banned nearly all abortions after 20 weeks. The new law also bans mail-order abortion pills. 30% of American adults battle depression, made worse by COVID shutdowns A new survey from Gallup found a record 30% of U.S. adults say they have been diagnosed with depression at some point in their life. That percentage hovered around 20% for years until 2020. The percentage of adults who say they currently are being treated for depression also rose significantly since then.  Young adults aged 18 to 29 and women had the highest rates of current depression or treatment for depression. The study noted the mental health effects of the pandemic isolation lockdowns. It said, “Clinical depression had been slowly rising in the U.S. prior to the COVID-19 pandemic but has jumped notably in its wake.” Proverbs 29:2 says, “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when a wicked man rules, the people groan.”  U.S. church attendance is bouncing back The American Bible Society released data on church attendance in their State of the Bible USA 2023 report. Three years after the start of the pandemic, attendance is bouncing back. Sixty-seven percent of church goers say they attend primarily in person, up from 38% in 2021. The percentage of those who attend mostly online is down from 45% to 21%.  In-person church attendance increased most notably in younger generations, especially Gen Z, over the last year. 53-year-old summits Mt. Everest for 27th time! And finally, a 53-year-old Nepali Sherpa set a record after summiting Mount Everest for the 27th time yesterday. Kami Rita first climbed the nearly 30,000 foot mountain in 1994 and has been scaling it nearly every year since. Kami's father was among the first Sherpa guides after Nepal allowed foreigners to climb Everest in 1950. Being a Sherpa is perilous, but Kami said he got into it to provide for his family, “We were illiterate and poor and there were no other means of survival. As a result, we were compelled to climb dangerous mountains to eke out a living.” Since 1953, mountaineers have scaled the incredible piece of God's creation over 11,000 times. Psalm 95:3-4 says, “For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In His hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are His also."

It's a thankful relief for many that Cyclone Mocha did not eventually make landfall on the world's largest refugee camp, Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh as earlier feared. Despite that, hundreds of makeshift shelters in the camps have been destroyed and reports of landslides and floods still expected. Hrusikesh Harichandan, Head of Sub-Delegation of International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies' Cox's Bazar Field Office shares a ground-zero report on the current situation.
