Kampeni za uchaguzi mkuu nchini Uganda, uliopangwa kufanyika Januari 12, 2026, zilianza Septemba 29. Kuna wagombea wanane wa urais, akiwemo kiongozi wa muda mrefu Yoweri Museveni mwenye umri wa miaka 81, ambaye ameongoza nchi hiyo kwa miaka 39. Mpinzani wake mkuu ni Robert Kyagulanyi  maarufu kama Bobi Wine, mwenye umri wa miaka 43. Nini kinachotarajiwa kwenye kampeni hizi ?

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina maalum inayomulika mkutano wa ngazi ya juu kuhusu magonjwa yasiyo ya kuambukiza NDCs unaoendelea kandoni mwa UNGA80, na tumezungumza na Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa Shirika la Afya la Umoja wa Mataifa WHO Kanda ya Afrika Dkt. Mohamed Yakub Janabi.Wakati viongozi wa nchi na serikali wanahutubia wakiwa ndani  ya jengo la Baraza Kuu la Umoja wa Mataifa jijini New York, Kiongozi wa Palestina, Mahmoud Abbas ujumbe wake kwa UNGA80 ameutoa kwa njia ya video iliyorekodiwa kutokana na kutopata kibali cha kuingia Marekani. Katika hotuba hiyo amesisitiza kuwa, Ukanda wa Gaza utaendelea kuwa sehemu ya Taifa la Palestina na tuko tayari kuwajibika kikamilifu kwenye uongozi na usalama wa eneo hilo. Hamas hawatokuwa na jukumu lolote kwennye utawala.”.Mapema kabla ya Palestina, Rais wa Somalia Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, alihutubia wajumbe akitaka nchi wanachama kujitolea upya kwa misingi ya usawa, mshikamano na ushirikiano wa kimataifa. Amesema hilo ni muhimu kwa kuwa “wakati ambapo hapo awali tulijitahidi kujiuliza ‘Nini ni sahihi' chini ya sheria ya kimataifa, leo tunashuhudia kwa wazi kuibuka kwa matumizi ya NGUVU ya kitaifa katika kusuluhisha migogoro. Hii ni njia ya giza na ya hatari sana inayotishia utawala wa sheria wa kimataifa tuliokubaliana kwa pamoja kama nchi wanachama wa Umoja wa Mataifa.”Kando ya hotuba za viongozi, kunafanyika maadhimisho ya miaka 30 tangu kupitishwa kwa Programu ya Dunia kwa ajili ya vijana. Je vijana kutoka Malawi wana ujumbe gani? Mwakilishi wao kwenye mkutano huu Rachel Mganga Wanangwa anasema, “Ujumbe kutoka vijana wa Malawi ni wekezeni kwetu, tusaidieni, shirikianeni nasi, na wanashiriki kwenye meza za mazungumzo ili kuhakikisha kuwa sauti zao zinawakilishiwa.”.Mwenyeji wako ni Leah Mushi, karibu!

Today on the show, I am joined by two magical women whose work has woven into my world in a special way. In the first half of the show I get to speak with Odeya Nini, a Los Angeles based interdisciplinary vocalist and composer. At the locus of her interests are performance practices, gesture, textural harmony, tonal animation, and the illumination of minute sounds, in works spanning chamber music to vocal pieces and collages of musique concrète. Her solo vocal work extends the dimension and expression of the voice and body, creating a sonic and physical panorama of silence to noise and tenderness to grandeur.Odeya's work has been presented at venues and festivals across the US and internationally, such as The LA Phil, Merkin Concert Hall, The Broad Museum, and MONA from Los Angeles to Australia, Mongolia, Madagascar and Vietnam. Her solo performance of I See You was included in the The New Yorker's 10 notable performances of 2021. Odeya is also a member of the 3 time Grammy nominated ensemble Wild Up and is the founder of Free The Voice, leading vocal sound meditations, workshops and retreats exploring the transformative and healing qualities of embodying the voice.Odeya holds a BFA from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music and an MFA in composition from California Institute of the Arts. She's joining me by way of Zoom today for our talk, but she'll be in Kingston soon, September 24th actually and offering HEALING VOICE OF DEEP RELEASE: A VOCAL EMBODIMENT WORKSHOP prior to Kelli Scarr's Greater Mysteries Cave Experiences at the Widow Jane Mine September 26 and 27.Then in the second half of the show, I am joined by Tanya Himeji Romero, a multi-disciplinary artist and energetic alchemist whose vision for over a decade has materialized in her work and devotional practices as a forest farmer, plant steward and intuitive culinary herbalist. While she believes any medium can be used to communicate our creativity, reverence and inherent connection, she is especially devoted to the realms of nourishment inspired by that which activates and attunes the inherent potential of our bodies as instrument, vessel and channel.She has worked as a creative director in the fashion industry, as a team manager for the world's largest wild simulated ginseng farm, in botanical product development and manufacturing, as well as a farmer and as a cook. The guidance of nature has led her home to her calling as a conduit for plant medicines to be regeneratively utilized in this world. All being is relatedness and at heart, we all desire to be heard, seen and respected. This is the reality she communicates and cultivates within her work.Amongst other offerings here in the Hudson Valley, she is also a collaborator to Kelli Scarr's Greater Mysteries Cave Experiences and will be offering an opportunity to nourish oneself and connect with EATING FROM THE TREE OF KIN - AN INTEGRATION NOURISHMENT EXPERIENCE on September 28th at The Bridge in Kingston. An intimate gathering of intentional co-nourishment to bridge and create greater integration in our relational field. Next up Tanya is offering sacred conscessions at the Misery Mother music and more gathering at The Local on October 24th.Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFYITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCAFollow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast

Kwa mara ya kwanza idadi ya watoto na vijana wa umri wa kwenda shule wenye unene wa kupindukiaau utipwatipwa imezidi idadi ya watoto wenye utapiamlo duniani ikiathiri watoto milioni 188 sawa na mtoto 1 kati ya kila watoto 10 imesema leo ripoti iliyotolewa leo na shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kuhudumia watoto UNICEF. Tuungane na Leah Mushi kusikia zaidi kuhusu ripoti hiyo, karibu LeahRipoti hii mpya ya UNICEF iitwayo “Faida kwenye vyakula: Jinsi Mazingira ya Chakula yanavyowaangusha watoto” imechambua takwimu kutoka nchi zaidi ya 190 na kubaini kwamba kiwango cha watoto wenye utapiamlo kimepungua tangu mwaka 2000, lakini wale wenye unene wa kupindukia kimeongezeka mara tatu.Kwa sasa, utipwatipwa umeenea katika kila eneo la dunia isipokuwa Afrika eneo la Kusini mwa Jangwa la Sahara na Asia Kusini. Nchi za visiwa vidogo vya Pasifiki ndizo zinaongoza kwa kuwa na viwango vya juu zaidi, ikiwemo Niue yenye asilimia 38 ya watoto wenye umri wa miaka 5 hadi 19 wakiwa na unene wa kupindukia.Nini kimesababisha?UNICEF inasema mabadiliko ya mifumo ya lishe kutoka vyakula vya asili hadi vyakula vya kutengenezwa kwa haraka na vya bei nafuu lakini vyenye sukari, mafuta na chumvi nyingi ndiyo chanzo kikuu cha ongezeko hili.Pia inatahadharisha kuwa matangazo ya kidijitali ya vinywaji vyenye sukari na vyakula vya viwandani yanawafikia vijana wengi, hata katika nchi zenye migogoro.Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa UNICEF, Catherine Russell, amesema utipwatipwa ni changamoto kubwa  ya kiafya kwa watoto kwa sababu huongeza hatari ya kupata kisukari, shinikizo la damu na magonjwa ya moyo katika maisha ya baadaye.Russell amesema “Tunapozungumza kuhusu utapiamlo, hatuzungumzii tu kuhusu watoto wenye uzito mdogo, utipwatipwa ni changamoto kubwa inayoendelea kuongezeka ambayo inaweza kuathiri afya na maendeleo ya watoto. Vyakula vya viwandani vinazidi kuongezeka na kuchukua nafasi ya matunda, mboga mboga na protini katika wakati ambao lishe ina jukumu muhimu katika ukuaji wa watoto, ukuaji wa utambuzi na afya ya akili.”Nini kifanyike?Ili kukabiliana na hali hii, UNICEF inazitaka serikali kuchukua hatua madhubuti ikiwemo kupiga marufuku uuzaji wa vyakula visivyo na lishe shuleni, kudhibiti matangazo ya vyakula vyenye sukari na mafuta, na kuweka sera za kusaidia familia kupata chakula bora na chenye lishe.Kwa mujibu wa UNICEF, bila hatua za haraka, gharama za kiafya na kiuchumi zitakazotokana na tatizo la utipwatipwa wa utotoni zinatarajiwa kupindukia dola trilioni 4 kila mwaka ifikapo mwaka 2035.Zipo juhudi za kupambana na hali hiyo ambazo zimeanza kuchukuliwa na baadhi ya nchi, mfano mzuri ni Mexico ambayo hivi karibuni imepiga marufuku uuzaji wa vyakula vilivyosindikwa na vile vyenye chumvi, sukari na mafuta mengi katika  maeneo ya shule za umma.

Juhudi za serikali za Afrika kuja na mikakati ya kutoa huduma za afya kwa raia kupitia mipango ya bima ya afya ya kitaifa zimekabiliwa na changamoto za utekelezaji,ufisadi na mifumo isiyo thabiti. Watalaam wa afya sasa wanapendekeza mipango hiyo ya afya iwe kwenye mipango ya kitaifa ya kila mwaka,ikiwa na mwongozi kamili kuhusu huduma gani serikali itatoa kwa raia na kwa kiasi gani. Aidha watalaam wanashauri mipango hiyo iwe inaendana na mahitaji ya kila jamii kwa kuwa serikali nyingi kwa sasa hazina uwezo wa kutoa huduma zote kwa raia Isitoshe,mifumo inyopunguza uvujaji wa raslimali  za umma ni muhimu

Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya Duniani WHO limefanya mabadiliko muhimu katika orodha yake ya dawa muhimu duniani au Essential Medicines List – EML na orodha ya dawa muhimu kwa watoto (EMLc) ikijumuisha dawa za kisasa za saratani, kisukari, unene uliopitiliza na magonjwa mengine sugu.Orodha za WHO za dawa muhimu ni nyenzo za mwongozo zinazotumiwa na zaidi ya nchi 150 kupanga ununuzi, bima za afya na upatikanaji wa dawa. Kwa lugha rahisi, dawa zinazoorodheshwa hapa huwa na nafasi kubwa zaidi ya kununuliwa na kutolewa kwa wagonjwa kupitia huduma za umma kwani wanachama wa WHO wanaziweka dawa hizi kama kipaumbele cha kiafya kwa mamilioni ya watu duniani.WHO wakati wakitangaza orodha hiyo mpya waliweka bayana kuwa dawa hizi mpya si za majaribio, bali ni zile ambazo zimethibitishwa kitabibu kuwa zinaokoa maisha, kupunguza madhara ya magonjwa na kuboresha maisha ya wagonjwa.Nini maana yake?Kuongezwa kwa dawa hizi ni hatua ya mbele katika safari ya kuhakikisha afya bora kwa wote. Inamaanisha wagonjwa zaidi wa saratani, kisukari na magonjwa mengine sugu wanaweza kuwa na matumaini ya maisha marefu na bora. Pia ni wito kwa mataifa kuchukua hatua ili kuhakikisha upatikanaji wa dawa unakuwa wa haki na usawa, bila kumwacha mtu yeyote nyuma.Changamoto ya bei na usawa wa kiafyaChangamoto kubwa sasa ni bei kubwa ya dawa hizi mpya, ambazo zinaweza kufanya wagonjwa wengi kushindwa kuzipata.WHO inapendekeza mikakati ya kupunguza gharama na kuhakikisha dawa hizi zinapatikana kwenye ngazi ya huduma za msingi za afya.Deusdedit Mubangizi, Mkurugenzi wa Sera na Viwango vya Dawa WHO, anasema “Sehemu kubwa ya matumizi ya nje ya mfuko wa magonjwa yasiyoambukiza yanaelekezwa kwenye dawa, ikiwa ni pamoja na zile zinazoainishwa kama muhimu na ambazo kimsingi, zinapaswa kupatikana kwabei rahisi kwa kila mtu. Ili kufikia upatikanaji sawa wa dawa muhimu kunahitajika mwitikio madhubuti wa mfumo wa afya unaoungwa mkono na dhamira dhabiti ya kisiasa, ushirikiano wa sekta nyingi na programu zinazozingatia watu ambazo hazimwachi mtu nyuma.”Kwa maneno mengine, dawa hizi haziwezi kuwa za matajiri pekee  lazima mifumo ya afya, serikali na sekta binafsi zishirikiane kuhakikisha kila mtu anayehitaji anapata dawa kwa gharama nafuu.© UNOCHA/Ali Haj SuleimanDaktari akimpatia matibabu mgonjwa wa Saratani huko nchini SyriaSaratani, kisukari na unene uliopitiliza ni changamotoSaratani na kisukari ni miongoni mwa magonjwa yanayosababisha vifo na ulemavu kwa mamilioni ya watu duniani kila mwaka. Kwa mfano, saratani pekee inaua karibu watu milioni 10 kila mwaka.Kuongeza dawa mpya za saratani kama pembrolizumab na atezolizumab, ambazo zinasaidia kinga ya mwili kushambulia chembe chembe za saratani, kunaleta matumaini mapya hasa kwa wagonjwa katika nchi zenye rasilimali chache.Kwa upande mwingine, dawa za kundi la GLP-1 receptor agonists kama semaglutide na tirzepatide zimeingizwa kwenye orodha ili kusaidia wagonjwa wa kisukari cha aina ya pili wanaoishi pia na unene uliopitiliza au matatizo ya moyo na figo. Dawa hizi husaidia kudhibiti sukari, kupunguza hatari ya magonjwa ya moyo na figo, na pia kusaidia kupunguza uzito.

Ob hladnih jutrih marsikdo pomisli na kurilno sezono, ko porabimo več energije, kar nas pošteno udari po žepu. Letos bodo stroški za elektriko višji, ker cene niso več regulirane. Se pa obeta nekaj za uporabnike ugodnih sprememb pri omrežnini. Agencija za energijo bo najdražji časovni blok uveljavila postopno. Cenejši blok sredi dneva bo po novem od 11-ih do 16-ih. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - V predlogu novele zakona o kmetijstvu tudi prepoved prodaje zelenjave pod nabavno ceno. - Po izraelskem napadu na bolnišnico v Gazi ogorčenje in pozivi k zaščiti civilistov. - Trump odpustil guvernerko centralne banke - to se je zgodilo prvič v ameriški zgodovini.

Tutaanza na wazo rahisi la kukata nyanya hadi tufike kwenye chembe isiyoweza kugawanywa tena, na tutaeleza kwa njia rahisi na ya kuvutia:Ni nini hasa kilicho ndani ya Atomu? Gundua ulimwengu mdogo wa protoni, nyutroni, na elektroni.

Here in Louisiana, intergenerational cooking is a way of life. Who doesn't treasure their great grandmother's gumbo recipe or still use their mom's roasting pan? This week, we talk with two women of East Asian heritage whose families and cultures share that motherly love expressed through food. Local-girl-made-good, Chef Nini Nguyen, grew up among the large Vietnamese population in New Orleans and shot to national prominence on "Top Chef." Nini joins us to talk about her rise to fame, her family, and her publication, "Đặc Biệt: An Extra Special Vietnamese Cookbook," which was named cookbook of the year by NPR. Then, we hear from Sarah Ahn, the social media manager for America's Test Kitchen and creator of Ahnest Kitchen, the website on which she recounts stories of her life and those of her Korean immigrant parents. Sarah's also the author of, "Umma: A Korean Mom's Kitchen Wisdom and 100 Family Recipes." She tells us about her bestselling cookbook, which is also part family memoir and part cultural history.

Sagovornici su detaljno i pregledno raspleli kompleksno klupko nadležnosti tužilaštava po pitanju slučaja pada nadstrešnice i mapirali koje bi tužilaštvo, ali i koji javni funkcioneri, trebalo da „povuku nogu“ ka uspostavljanju pravde. U drugoj epizodi Radar Foruma u kojoj je izazivač profesorka Pravnog fakulteta u Beogradu Vanja Bajović ugostila je advokata Ivana Ninića. Razgovor su otvorili temom dostižnosti pravde, koja je prema Niniću relativna – nekome strada radno mesto, nekome zdravlje, nekome sloboda – ali dostižna. Kao primer visoko plaćene cene navodi slučaj Novice Antića, predsednika Vojnog sindikata Srbije, koji je zbog borbe za održiviji i manje korumpirani odbrambeni sistem u pritvoru proveo šest meseci. A sve je počelo 2017, kada je Antić upozorio da Veljko Belivuk, Novak Nedić i druga lica koriste strelište kasarne u Pančevu. Profesorka Bajović je primetila da, sedam meseci nakon pada nadstrešnice, tu temu malo ko i pominje, što sužava put ka dostizanju pravde tamo gde bi ona trebalo da bude jasna. Optužnica je podignuta, pa je vraćena na dopunu, u pritvoru su ostali samo inženjeri, dok su političarima i negdašnjim direktorima pritvori preinačeni u kućni, a majka nastradalog mladića, koja je napustila Srbiju, za zastupnika je odabrala Ninića. Advokata koga je potom tužio podizvođač Starting. „Teško je objasniti taj teatar apsurda. U Trećem osnovnom sudu u Beogradu sam se uverio da postoje dve optužbe čije otpravke nisam još primio, ni ročište nije zakazano. Ja sam u predmetnom postupku istupao kao punomoćnik Dijane Hrke, a ne kao građanin, a protiv mene postoje dve krivične tužbe zbog narušavanja poslovnog ugleda i kreditne sposobnosti. Nestrpljivo čekam da vidim kako sam to ja kao advokat u postupku uopšte mogao da narušim ugled jedne poslovne hidre“, kaže Ninić, i pokazuje da je u Srbiji pravda relativnija no što se isprva mislilo.

Known for her platform Nini and the Brain, Dr. Munoz rose to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic by demystifying complex clinical data. She explains common statistical manipulations, like base rate fallacy and absolute versus relative risk, using examples such as raw milk claims and fluoride debates. Dr. Munoz emphasizes the difference between risk (quantifiable likelihood of harm) and hazard (potential to cause harm), offering strategies to communicate these concepts to patients by aligning with their personal values. From addressing publication bias to advocating humility in science, this episode equips physicians to counter misleading headlines and foster trust with patients.Three Actionable Takeaways:Spot Base Rate Fallacy – Adjust for population size when comparing health outcomes (e.g., pasteurized vs. raw milk hospitalizations) to avoid misleading absolute numbers and reveal true risk.Question Weak Effects – Scrutinize studies with inconsistent or marginal effects, like fluoride research, by checking for confounders, publication bias, or non-replicable results.Tailor Risk Communication – Frame health advice around patients' personal risks (e.g., vaccine benefits for individual healthcare access) to make data relatable and actionable.About the Show:The Physician's Guide to Doctoring covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

Are you tired of dressing in sun protective clothing that has no fashion sense? On today's podcast, Kristine & Addy Thompson, mother and daughter team, share their journey to creating a fashion brand, NINI, that puts the cute and stylish into sun protective clothing. Plus, they share their first venture into entrepreneurship for the duo. BACK STORY Kristine and Addison, a dynamic mother-daughter duo whose passion for an active lifestyle under the sun led to the creation of a revolutionary fashion brand. Nestled in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona, Kristine and Addison's journey began with a shared love for outdoor activities – whether it was engaging in spirited games of pickleball, strolling through the charming streets of Paris, or simply savoring a cocktail on their favorite patio. In their pursuit of the perfect ensemble for sun-soaked adventures with friends, Kristine and Addison encountered a gap in the market. Despite the abundance of options, none quite met their criteria for a blend of fashion, comfort, and sun protection. Undeterred by the lack of suitable choices, the duo embarked on a mission to create Nini, a brand committed to designing the ideal pieces they themselves desired.
