'n Mosie van wantroue teen die premier van Gauteng, Panyaza Lesufi, word in die provinsiale wetgewer gedebatteer. Google gaan miljoene rand betaal om Suid-Afrikaanse nuusmedia te ondersteun. Die Chinese leier, Xi Jingping, sal nie die G20-beraad bywoon nie.
New polling from the Southern Poverty Law Center shows lower approval ratings for Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith. That could mean a more difficult election cycle for her next year. Then, more school districts in Mississippi are adopting "no cell phone" policies.Plus, a funeral service is being held today for "Mama" Mosie Burks, the lead singer for the Mississippi Mass Choir. She died last week at the age of 92. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
'n Kongreslid van die Demokrate, Al Green, het 'n mosie ingedien ten einde president Donald Trump in 'n staat van beskuldiging te plaas en beskuldig hom van die misbruik van sy magte. Hy sê die president het die skeiding van magte geminag deur die Kongres te omseil en oorlog te verklaar, deur die Amerikaanse weermag opdrag te gee om Iran te bombardeer sonder grondwetlike goedkeuring. Green se mosie bestempel Trump as 'n outoritêre president wat Amerika se demokrasie bedreig:
Die Kanadese premier, Justin Trudeau, het sy bedanking op 'n nuuskonferensie by sy tydelike woning, Rideau Cottage, in Ottawa aangekondig. In sy toespraak het hy gesê 'n nuwe premier en leier van die Liberale Party sal die waardes en idees van die party in die volgende verkiesings dra. Trudeau sê hy sal in sy pos bly totdat die party 'n plaasvervanger kies. Die party sal vandeesweek vergader om die proses te begin om 'n nuwe leier te vind. Trudeau, onder hewige druk van Liberale wetgewers om te bedank te midde van peilings wat toon dat die party by die volgende verkiesing verpletter sal word, sê die parlement sal tot 24 Maart opgehef word. Luister self na Trudeau.
Die 56ste SAOG parlementêre forum se voltallige vergadering is tans aan die gang in Livingstone, Zambië, waar lede verslae hersien en oorweeg vir aanvaarding deur verskeie staande komitees. Die Namibiese afvaardiging word gelei deur die Speaker van die Nasionale Vergadering, prof. Peter Katjavivi. Die voltallige vergadering, wat Maandag begin het, sluit vandag af. Namibiese parlementslid, Utaara Mootu, het bygedra tot die Mosie vir die Aanneming van die Verslag van die Staande Komitee oor Geslagsgelykheid, Vrouebevordering en Jeugontwikkeling.
Australiese wetgewers het 'n Aboriginee-senator, Lidia Thorpe, oor die kole gehaal nadat sy koning Charles verlede maand uitgejou het tydens sy besoek aan Canberra. Sy het die verwelkoming onderbreek deur uit te roep: “Jy't volksmoord teen ons mense gepleeg” en “Jy's nie ons koning nie”. ʼn Mosie van sensuur dra geen grondwetlike of wetlike gesag nie. Die senaat het die mosie met 46 teen 12 stemme aanvaar en haar gedrag as ontwrigtend beskryf. Thorpe sê sy is nie spyt nie:
Provinsiale onderwysdepartemente sal teen 2027 'n reuse begrotingstekort hê. 'n Openbare raadplegingsproses begin oor Eskom se voorgestelde kragtariefverhogings. 'n Mosie van wantroue sal na verwagting vandag teen die burgemeester van die Tshwane-metro, Cilliers Brink, gebring word.
Binnelandse sake-minister Albert Kawana het in die Nasionale Vergadering aangekondig hy wil 'n wetsontwerp voorlê om huwelikseremonies te reguleer. Die mosie en die wetsontwerp sal in die komende dae meer breedvoerig verduidelik word. Kawana sê hy sal môre 'n mosie ter tafel lê om Namibiese burgerskap te gee aan enigiemand met die ou Suidwes-Afrika identiteitsdokumente.
'n Mosie is in die Nasionale Vergadering ter tafel gelê om die Nasionale Jeugraad en Nasionale Jeugdiens te laat saamsmelt. Dit sal volgens PDM-parlementslid Maximalliant Katjimune 'n einde bring aan die duplisering van verantwoordelikhede, programme, hulpbronne en oorvleuelende beleide. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het kommentaar gekry van Sharonice Busch, die Jeugraad se uitvoerende voorsitter. Sy sê die twee instansies het heel verskillende mandate en kan nie saamgevoeg word nie.
ActionSA in Ekurhuleni aan die Gautengse Oos-Rand sê die raadsvergadering wat die EFF verlede week ontwrig het, moet dringend hervat word. Die vergadering is belê om onder meer debat te voer oor ʼn mosie van wantroue wat ActionSA teen die burgemeester, Sivuyile Ngodwana, wou indien. Die vergadering het egter in chaos ontaard toe EFF-raadslede uittartend opgetree en waterbottels rondgegooi het. Vuisgevegte het ook uitgebreek tussen hoofsaaklik ANC- en EFF-lede. Andrew Harris van ActionSA sê Ngodwana sal beslis uit sy amp verwyder word.
Chaos was aan die orde van die dag in die Nasionale Vergadering ná 'n hewige woordewisseling tussen maatskaplike welsyn-minister Doreen Sioka, en Elma Dienda van die PDM. Die kwessie was die Angolese kinders wat in Windhoek se strate rondloop en houtlepels by verkeersligte verkoop. Vrae word gevra oor ander kinders wat met items soos mielies, vrugte en lekkers op baie straathoeke in die hoofstad smous. Sioka sê dat haar ministerie nou niks kan doen aangaande die kinders in die straat nie, want sy moet eers die saak na die kabinet neem en eers daarna kan hulle dit in die parlement bespreek. Dit is nadat Dienda 'n mosie ter tafel gelê het om die Angolese kinders te help.

McHenry Venaani, president van die Popular Democratic Movement, het die kwessie van openbare ontlasting weer na die Nasionale Vergadering geneem en medewetgewers aangemoedig om swak sanitasie landwyd aan te spreek.

Jelissa opens up about the profound emotional toll she's endured on her journey through IVF, alongside the heartache of pregnancy loss. To cope, she immerses herself in a whirlwind of activities, all while battling the pervasive anxiety that creeps in as she prepares for new cycles of IVF. Her world is further rocked by her husband's startling diagnosis. Jelissa's relentless pursuit of parenthood spans over 7 years, during which she grapples with a blood disorder known as antiphospholipid syndrome. This condition triggers an autoimmune response, erroneously targeting vital blood proteins. Tragically, it heightens the risk of miscarriages and stillbirths among expectant mothers. The syndrome may also manifest in the form of blood clots, potentially arising in the limbs or even the lungs.*Follow Jelissa on Instagram & learn more about her monthly loss-mom events here!Support Our Show Sponsors:*Learn more about the Mosie Baby Kit and read some of the amazing stories from the Mosie Community at try.mosiebaby.com/InfertilityAndMe. *Use code INFERTILITYANDME for [15% off] your order at checkout and join the 100,000 plus families who have included Mosie on their journey to conceive.*It's going down (D)C, (M)aryland, and (V)irginia Friends!

Maiclaire became pregnant naturally, really quickly, but miscarried at nearly 12 weeks. She and her husband then started fertility treatments with IUI.

In this episode, we also discuss egg donorship and epigenetics."After the 2 miscarriages and the 2nd IVF cycle with no embryos, I was in a really low place and I was frustrated that no one talks about infertility and recurrent loss, so I wrote my book "Prequel to Parenthood: An Infertility Story."*It's going down (D)C, (M)aryland, and (V)irginia Friends!

Imagine an insemination kit with a syringe specifically designed for the female body that you can use with your partner or sperm donor in the comfort of your own home. I'm delighted to have Maureen Brown, co-founder of Mosie Baby joining me on the this week to talk about the home insemination kit that she and her husband designed after being faced with infertility.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ As you know, I really love innovative products and ideas that help people reach their goals. Anything that helps demystify fertility and helps women get pregnant is a win in my book. What I love about the Mosie Baby story is that Maureen and her husband decided to create a product that they could not find and wished existed during their fertility journey. We talk about how the kit was invented, her own experience using it, how it works, and about some of her favorite success stories.

Let's face it, infertility and trying to conceive (TTC) can be incredibly costly! Oftentimes, people are forced to walk away to avoid draining their savings or fertility treatments, adoption, surrogacy, and egg/sperm donorship aren't an option financially. From the moment of diagnosis to the extensive research and exploration of various family-building options, it feels like a significant financial burden with no end in sight.

In episode #232 of The Hormone P.U.Z.Z.L.E Podcast, our guest Maureen Brown talks about At-Home Insemination and Mosie Baby. More about Maureen: Maureen and Marc Brown launched Mosie Baby after struggling to conceive for years before their diagnosis of Unexplained Infertility. They simply wanted an alternative way to try and conceive at home prior to spending thousands at a doctors office. When they couldn't find it, they decided to make it. And that's how Mosie was born (pun fully intended)! They conceived the first Mosie Baby, their son, in 2015 and have since helped over 100,000 families inseminate in the privacy of their own home.

Die DA-leier, John Steenhuisen, het vandag 'n mosie ingedien om die Nasionale Vergadering te laat ontbind. Die party doen 'n beroep op die 400 lede van die Nasionale Vergadering om hierdie mosie te ondersteun, omdat dit in die land se beste belang is. Steenhuisen vra ook vir President Cyril Ramaphosa om 'n vroeë verkiesing af te kondig, en die datums vir 2023 vas te stel, aangesien die Grondwet daarvoor voorsiening maak

Die DA in Gauteng sê die premier, David Makhura, hardloop weg van die party se mosie van wantroue wat hierdie maand gedebatteer sou word. Die provinsiale wetgewer het 'n kennisgewing uitgereik vir 'n spesiale sitting wat môre gehou sal word om 'n nuwe premier te benoem en te verkies ná Makhura se bedanking. Die DA-lid, Solly Msimanga, sê die party het die mosie na die wetgewer gebring omdat inwoners van die provinsie nie die dienslewering ontvang wat hulle verdien nie.
Maximillant Katjimune, parlementslid van die Popular Democratic Movement, het vandag in die Nasionale Vergadering 'n mosie in die parlement ter tafel gelê wat 'n beroep doen op verskillende jeugliggame om gekonsolideer te word en onder een sambreel te dien. Katjimune het 'n paar jeugliggame voorgestel wat byeengebring kan word en sê dat dit die beste manier sal wees vir die regering om hulle te ondersteun, eerder as wanneer hulle apart staan onder verskillende affiliasies.
Die DA in Gauteng het die programkomitee se besluit verwelkom dat die DA se mosie van wantroue teen die premier, David Makhura, volgende maand in Gauteng se provinsiale wetgewer gedebatteer sal word. Die party sê dit is 'n stap in die regte rigting, omdat die ANC misluk het met sy pogings om die mosie te ontduik. Die DA-leier in Gauteng, Solly Msimanga, sê die party is nie verbaas dat die ANC skielik 'n ander deuntjie sing nie, want hulle wil Makhura ook uit hê:
ActionSA In Gauteng gaan 'n mosie van wantroue teen die voorsitter van die Stad Johannesburg, Colleen Makhubele, tydens die volgende raadsvergadering indien. Die party sê Makhubele het die afgelope week 'n algehele verontagsaming van die behoorlike proses en rede getoon. Funzi Ngobeni, koukusleier van ActionSA Johannesburg, sê dit was om haar eie persoonlike eiebelang te bevorder ten koste van die inwoners wat sy 'n eed gesweer het om onder 'n veelpartykoalisieregering te dien:
Die burgemeester van Johannesburg, Mpho Phalatse, sê sy is nie bekommerd oor die dreigende mosie van wantroue teen haar nie. Sy glo sy word geteiken oor haar pogings om korrupsie in die stad uit te roei. Die ANC, gesteun deur ander opposisiepartye in die raad, vra vir die verwydering van Phalatse. Sy word daarvan beskuldig dat sy en die voormalige speaker, Vasco da Gama, saamgespan het om onder andere, verslae van bedrog teen die stad te verberg. Phalatse sê sy is nie ontsteld oor die beskuldigings nie:
Verskeie opposisiepartye in die Stad Johannesburg het bevestig hulle gaan Woensdag 'n mosie van wantroue instel teen die stad se burgemeester, Mpho Phalatse. Die partye sluit in Cope, die PAC, die ATM, die AIC, Good en Al Jamah. Hulle beskuldig Phalatse daarvan dat sy met die voormalige speaker, Vasco da Gama, saamsweer om verslae te verswyg en sekere individue te beskerm. Al Jamah se Gautengse voorsitter, Thapelo Amad, sê Phalatse het versuim om die stad se inwoners te dien.
ActionSA verwelkom die mosie wat die Johannesburgse metroraad aanvaar het om die kragtoevoer van inwoners van Soweto van Eskom na City Power te verskuif. Die party se woordvoerder, Sthembelo Majola, sê die kragvoorsiener het die inwoners te lank afgeskeep en aan onwettige kredietbestuurspraktyke onderwerp. Majola voeg by dat enige integrasie van Eskom-kliënte by City Power gedoen moet word sonder enige oordrag van ou skuld.
Verskeie opposisie-partye in die buurland vra vir 'n mosie van wantroue teen President Cyril Ramaphosa na aanleiding van die Phala Phala-plaasskandaal. Die EFF-leier, Julius Malema, het die media vandag ingelig en sê die partye vra dat Ramaphosa vervolg moet word. Intussen sê Malema die partye sal met die DA vergader, aangesien die party van mening is die artikel 89-proses moet afgehandel word voor 'n mosie van wantroue aangevra word.
