UK correspondent Harriet Line joins Kathryn to talk about a savaging of the government's plans to tackle illegal migration, led by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Justin Welby said the bill - allowing illegal migrants to be deported immediately to a 'safe' third country like Rwanda - was 'morally unacceptable' but faced a furious backlash. The government promised to trash 4000 EU-era laws - but will only revoke 600. And Harriet looks at what the local election results last week could mean for the next general election.

*) Zelenskyy denies attacking Moscow, Putin Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has denied claims of attacking Russia or trying to assassinate President Vladimir Putin. Zelenskyy said Ukraine was attacking neither Putin nor Moscow, but fighting on its own territory to defend its villages and cities. Zelenskyy claimed that Putin accuses him of the alleged attack and the assassination attempt because Moscow has "no victories" in Ukraine. *) UN demands security guarantees for Sudan aid The United Nations has called for security guarantees at "the highest level" to ensure desperately needed aid deliveries in conflict-torn Sudan. The UN's top humanitarian official Martin Griffiths insisted on the need for commitments that are “publicly, clearly given by militaries, to protect humanitarian systems to deliver". Griffiths arrived in Port Sudan on the Red Sea coast on an urgent mission to find ways to bring relief to the millions of Sudanese affected by the conflict. *) New Turkish oil reserve to bring annual $2.9B Türkiye's newest oil discovery in the country's southeast has been estimated to increase the country's overall hydrocarbon production from 100,000 barrels per day to 180,000.

The recent discovery is one of many oil and gas explorations undertaken by the country since 2020. *) Floods kill more than 100 in Rwanda Torrential rains have caused flooding in western and northern Rwanda, killing at least 129 people. The death toll “continues to rise,” according to the Rwanda Broadcasting Agency. Strong rainstorms started last week, causing flooding and mudslides that swept away several houses across the country and left some roads inaccessible. *) Indigenous leaders demand King Charles apologise Indigenous leaders from a string of former British colonies have urged King Charles to apologise for centuries of racism and the "legacy of genocide" perpetrated by the crown. In a letter that could sour the build-up to this weekend's coronation, Indigenous representatives from 12 Commonwealth nations also called for financial reparations. The letter, signed by leaders from Australia as well as several Caribbean nations that were once plundered for slaves, also demanded the return of stolen cultural treasures.

Ripoti ya shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto (UNICEF) imeeleza kwamba vitendo vya ndoa za utotoni vimeendelea kupungua duniani ingawa upunguzaji huo hauna kasi ya kutosha kufikia lengo la kutokomeza ndoa za utotoni ifikapo mwaka 2030 kama yalivyo Malengo ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Maendeleo Endelevu, SDGs.Kupitia ripoti hiyo ya UNICEF iliyotolewa usiku wa kuamkia leo Jumatano kwa saa za New York, Marekani, takwimu zinazoonesha kupungua kwa ndoa za utotoni duniani zimechangiwa zaidi na kupungua kwa vitendo hivyo nchini India nchi yenye watu wengi zaidi na ambayo imekuwa ikiukumbatia utamaduni huu.  Pamoja na kupungua huko kwa vitendo vya kuozesha watoto, UNICEF inasema India inasalia kuwa na idadi kubwa zaidi duniani ya watoto wanaoolewa.  Hata hivyo ripoti hiyo inaeleza kuwa ingawa baadhi ya maeneo ya dunia yameshudia kupungua kwa vitendo vya ndoa katika umri mdogo, mataifa mengine yamekwama hasa zaidi katika eneo la Afŕika Maghaŕibi na Kati, kanda inayotajwa kuwa yenye matukio mengi zaidi ya ndoa za utotoni. Nchi nyingi katika kanda hii, hasa zile za Sahel, zimekumbwa na migogoro inayoendelea ambayo inazidisha mazingira magumu kwa wasichana. Kanda nyingine yenye maendeleo madogo katika ndoa za watoto ni Amerika Kusini na Karibea. Katika eneo hili, mapungufu makubwa katika makundi ya kijamii na kiuchumi yanaonesha kuwa ndoa za utotoni ni suala lililokita mizizi miongoni mwa jamii maskini. Aidha ripoti hii imeeleza kwamba nchi nyingine zaidi ya India ambazo zimeonesha kupunguza ndoa za utotoni ingawa kwa miaka mingi zilishamiri kwa matukio haya ni Bangladesh na Ethiopia huku Rwanda na Maldives zikitajwa kuwa nchi ambazo tangu awali zimekuwa na matukio machache ya ndoa za utotoni na wanakaribia kuvitokomeza kabisa vitendo hivyo. Ingawa ripoti inasema kuwa licha ya maendeleo haya kiasi yaliyopatikana kimataifa kasi bado ni ndogo mno na ikiendelea hivi inaweza kuchukua miaka 300 hadi kutokomeza kabisa ndoa za utotoni, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa UNICEF, Catherine Russell ana matumaini akisema, "Tumethibitisha kwamba maendeleo ya kukomesha ndoa za utotoni yanawezekana. Inahitaji msaada usioyumba kwa wasichana na familia zilizo katika mazingira hatarishi. Ni lazima kuzingatia kuwaweka wasichana shuleni na kuhakikisha wanapata fursa za kiuchumi."

As we see an increasing number of culturally diverse patients in our US-based practices or on the mission field, our understanding of cultural influences in healthcare and our own biases is essential. How can we develop an eye to see where a patient’s values and worldview may differ from our own? We will review an approach to cultural humility highlighted by medical missions case studies.

In 1997 Kofi Annan became the seventh Secretary-General of the United Nations. The nineties were a turbulent period for the organisation and it had received criticism for a lack of action in both Rwanda and Bosnia leading to thousands of deaths. Kofi was born in Ghana and after a brief spell in the USA slowly worked his way up through the organisation and his appointment was seen by many as a return to a consensus and multi-lateral approach to diplomacy. Choosing Kofi is the writer, biologist and presenter Gillian Burke. Gillian's Mum worked for the UN and Gillian describes herself as a "Child of the UN". For both Gillian and her Mum, Kofi Annan was a symbol of hope and an embodiment of the core principles of the UN, and she is keen to learn what qualities Kofi had that made him a good diplomat. To help answer that is former ambassador to the UN, Sir Jeremy Greenstock. Sir Jeremy praises Kofi's ability to listen to all sides but says his eyes would harden when he disagreed with what was being said. Together with Matthew Parris, they chew over the successes and failures of Kofi Annan's career, the role of the UN, and what impact he might be having today if he were still alive. Presenter: Matthew Parris Guests: Gillian Burke and Sir Jeremy Greenstock Produced for BBC Audio, Bristol by Toby Field

We had the pleasure of interviewing Ian Brennan Zoom video!GRAMMY Award-winning music producer and lauded field-recording trailblazer Ian Brennan (Tinariwen, Zomba Prison Project, Ustad Saami) continues his acclaimed recording career of over 50 releases with the first album ever made featuring the wisdom and voices of those over 100 years old. The Oldest Voice in the World (Azerbaijan) "Thank you for bringing me back to the sky" takes Brennan and his wife, Italian-Rwandan filmmaker and photographer Marilena Umuhoza Delli to the remote villages of the "long-livers" just miles from the Iran border. 22 pieces comprise the album with five bonus tracks featuring artists that Brennan has collaborated with over his acclaimed career: The Kronos Quartet, Tinariwen, Malawi Mouse Boys, Yuka Honda, and The Good Ones (Rwanda).In late 2021, Brennan and Delli traveled to the southern mountains of Azerbaijan, where legend has it that the world's oldest man hailed from there -- having survived to age 168. Brennan and Delli made the ambitious excursion amid a coincidental deluge of social media trends going public on the best practices for "staying young." Visiting rural villages to capture the heart of the under-represented population of the oldest people on earth, the centenarians' stories eloquently came to life and serve as an anti-ageism antidote.Upon their arrival in Azerbaijan, villagers had been ravaged by COVID-19 and most residents over 100 had sadly died in recent months, including the oldest known woman in the country. Traversing from village to village, they came to discover centenarian after centenarian living without indoor plumbing, sleeping on floor-bound mattresses, and what seemed to Brennan, that they were almost anticipating their arrival with such a warm reception by the Talysh people.Brennan is renowned for scouring the far stretches of the globe to document singers in an uninhibited, authentic fashion. From recordings in regions such as Rwanda, Malawi, South Sudan, Karachi, Comoros, Palestine, Ukerewe Island, Cambodia, and Romania, this latest project brings him to a region where no outsiders ever wander. The villages were so remote, Brennan's Azerbaijani speaking companion from the city advised that the locals' words were completely unintelligible. And even the Talysh speaker from the valley below could only make out less than 80% of what was being said in the remote mountain villages.As they began meeting the centenarians, one theme was ever-present once they sang. Most would sing of their mother, and their secret to life was simple, "I was loved." Voices were recorded in their natural living environments. For instrumentation along with their voices, Brennan used the wood-burning furnace providing heat for the house, a walker, their own footsteps, a broken bedroom door, or the farm flour grinder.Brennan and Delli experienced raw emotion from the centenarians. A former shepherd was singing and became overcome and shakily stood up to leave the room after having sung a song that his mother used to sing.We want to hear from you!

Rwanda

In Rwanda, 29 years after the genocide that cost at least 800,000 lives, the psychological toll on those who lived through the bloodshed continues to weigh heavily. Also we hear from some of the young visionaries in the Seychelles coming up with ways to keep their traditional ways of life afloat. And Kenya becomes the first country on the continent to make coding an integral part of the school curriculum.

This week's show features stories from Radio Havana Cuba, NHK Japan, France 24, and Going Underground. http://youthspeaksout.net/swr230428.mp3 (29:00) From CUBA- The Vatican has formally repudiated the 15th century doctrine of discovery, or manifest destiny, which was used to justify the genocide of indigenous people and conquest of their lands. The Goldman Environmental Prize was presented to an indigenous activist in Brazil, Alessandra Korap Munduruku. From JAPAN- The operator of the devastated Fukushima nuclear power plant says the melted fuel debris has likely created holes in the pressure vessel of the reactor. US President Biden and the South Korean President Youn Suk Yeol announced an agreement on the deployment of nuclear submarines and and possible use of nuclear weapons against North Korea. From FRANCE- The latest report from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute shows global military spending continues to rise to an all time high. The British government is facing a court challenge to its plan to fly refugees to Rwanda. From GOING UNDERGROUND- Afshin again interviewed legendary journalist Seymour Hersh. This time the topics include the Ukrainian government embezzlement of $400 million and the selling of donated weapons on the black market. Also Ukraine is buying all its diesel for the military from Russia. Meanwhile the US and European press fails to follow Hersh's revelations about the bombing of the Nord Stream pipeline, instead writing counter stories supplied by the intelligence community.

Like the prophet Elijah in the Old Testament, many times we as followers of Jesus who seek to make His name known, find ourselves crying out to God “I have had enough Lord”. Learning how to find God in our trials and to trust His loving faithfulness to refine us is a necessary part of our journey. Though sometimes difficult to share openly, the failures, disappointments, and hard times are important in the life of a global worker. Most often, just as in Elijah’s life in I Kings 19, the beauty and majesty and power of God meet us in these times. Sharing from her personal journey in medical missions as a general surgeon in the Middle East and in Kenya, Dr. Carol Spears will explore ways from scripture to find hope and beauty in the desert experiences of missionary service. The scripture is I Kings 19

It's Wednesday, April 26th, 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 Ugandan Muslims stabbed Christian evangelist Ugandan Muslim extremists stabbed a Christian evangelist to death earlier this month. A local pastor told Morning Star News, “Herbert was very effective in evangelistic activities. ... His acts of supporting and helping preachers were seen in Muslim circles as misleading many Muslims who left Islam and joined Christianity, especially young men and women. ... As the Body of Christ, we have lost a devoted servant of Christ.” The killing is the latest of many attacks on Christians in Uganda.  Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame [Satan] by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.” Bible-believing Anglicans urge disobedient Anglicans to repent Anglicans from around the world met last week in Kigali, Rwanda for the fourth Global Anglican Future Conference. The assembly issued a communiqué called “The Kigali Commitment.” The document affirms the authority of God's Word and calls to repentance those in the Anglican Communion who support sexually perverted lifestyles.  The Church of England has led the departure from Scripture in their support of homosexuality. Now, global Anglicans are rejecting the leadership status of the Anglican branch in England.  Anglicans at the conference represented about 85% of Anglicans worldwide. Biden: My re-election is about more freedom Yesterday, President Joe Biden officially announced he is running for reelection next year. Biden said his campaign is about fighting for more freedom.  BIDEN: “Personal freedom is fundamental to who we are as Americans. There's nothing more important, nothing more sacred. That's been the work of my first term, to fight for our democracy. This shouldn't be a red or blue issue. To protect our rights. To make sure that everyone in this country is treated equally. And that everyone is given a fair shot at making it.” Apparently, these freedoms include killing unborn babies and living sexually perverted lifestyles.  Galatians 5:13 warns, “For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” Two-thirds don't want Biden or Trump A new Reuters/Ipsos poll came out on Monday.  The poll found about two-thirds of voters don't want Joe Biden or Donald Trump to run again.  Along party lines, 44% of Democrats don't want Biden to run again, and 34% of Republicans don't want Trump to run again. Sixty-one percent of Democrats said Biden is too old to work in government, while only 35% of Republicans said the same of Trump.  Biden is expected to have little opposition for the Democrat presidential nomination. Trump is the leading candidate among Republicans at 50% followed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at 24%.  A hypothetical contest between Biden and Trump in the survey found Biden winning 43% to 38%.  Texas bill requires public school classrooms display 10 Commandments The Texas Senate passed a bill last Thursday, requiring public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments.  The bill passed the Senate 17-12 and heads to the state's House of Representatives.  Republican state Senator Phil King authored the bill. He said the bill “restores [religious] liberties that were lost, and reminds students all across Texas of the importance of a fundamental foundation of American and Texas law—the Ten Commandments.” The Texas Senate also passed a bill to allow public school students and employees to pray and read the Bible. North Dakota governor signed heartbeat bill Meanwhile, in North Dakota, the state's Republican governor, Doug Burgum, signed a heartbeat bill into law on Monday.  The law bans abortions after six weeks of pregnancy with some exceptions. Six weeks of pregnancy is when a baby's heartbeat can typically be detected easily.  North Dakota is now the 15th state to ban or restrict most abortions. North Dakota also banned transgender drugs/surgeries for kids To its credit, North Dakota is also the latest state to ban transgender drugs and surgeries on children.  Governor Burgum signed the bill into law last Wednesday.  Other states which have protected children include Arkansas, Indiana, Tennessee, South Dakota, Iowa, Mississippi, and Florida.  Only 12% of Americans are happy And finally, a recent poll from the Nonpartisan and Objective Research Organization at the University of Chicago found that only 12% of Americans say they are “very happy.” It's the lowest score for happiness since they starting tracking it in 1972. People who said they are very happy were also very likely to say they valued strong relationships, marriage, and the belief in God. Psalm 146:5 says, “Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, April 26th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
