Edith Müller Loretz ist Leiterin Gesundheitsschutz bei der Suva, der Schweizerischen Unfallversicherungsanstalt. Arbeitsunfälle können immer besser verhindert werden, die Prävention von Freizeitunfällen dagegen ist schwieriger. Die Suva zählt jährlich rund 100 000 mehr Freizeit- als Arbeitsunfälle. Von der rund halben Million Unfälle, welche die Suva pro Jahr zählt, ereignen sich rund 300 000 in der Freizeit. Beim Schneesport, Fussball oder im Alltag. Trotzdem werden 110 Millionen Franken in die Prävention der Arbeitsunfälle gesteckt und nur 16 Millionen in die Prävention von Unfällen in der Freizeit. Ist dies der Grund, weswegen die Bilanz der Arbeitsunfälle besser ausfällt? Seit fast 30 Jahren ist Edith Müller Loretz, Geschäftsleitungsmitglied der Suva, zuständig für den Gesundheitsschutz. Sie blickt auf Schneesportkampagnen zurück, die selbst nicht immer ganz risikofrei waren. Die Kontrollen auf Baustellen hätten sich teilweise einem Coaching angenähert. In der Freizeit dagegen fehlten Sanktionsmassnahmen für risikoreiches Verhalten. Welche Prävention nützt? Werden künftig mehr Gelder aufgewendet, um Unfällen in der Freizeit vorzubeugen? Edith Müller Loretz beendet ihre langjährige Arbeit bei der Suva. Am Tag der Arbeitssicherheit ist sie zu Gast im Tagesgespräch bei Karoline Arn.

Unfallversicherer entscheiden zunehmend gegen die Versicherten: Immer mehr Fälle werden abgelehnt und die Leistungen nach kurzer Zeit eingestellt. Die Folge: Die Krankenkassen müssen einspringen. Ausserdem im «Kassensturz»: Schoggi aus dem Labor. Und im Test: Haarföhns. Unfallversicherungen – Opfer kämpfen gegen Leistungseinstellungen Die Statistik zeigt: Seit der Revision des Unfallversicherungsgesetzes steigt der Anteil der abgelehnten Fälle bei den Versicherungen. Dabei hätte die Gesetzrevision genau das Gegenteil bewirken sollen – mehr Leute als «Unfall» einstufen, weniger als «Krankheit». «Kassensturz» dokumentiert den Fall eines Mannes, der durch einen Arbeitsunfall seit Monaten eingeschränkt ist. Doch für seine Unfallversicherung, die Suva, war die Geschichte nach ein paar Wochen abgeschlossen: Sie stellte ihre Leistungen ein. Der Mann leidet jedoch nach wie vor an den Folgen des Unfalls. Zwischenzeitlich musste er sogar operiert werden, jetzt halt auf Kosten seiner Krankenkassen. Schleicht sich die Suva einfach aus der Verantwortung? Kakao-Alternative – Schoggi aus dem Labor Sie sind braun, weiss, schwarz oder gescheckt. Und aktuell haben sie Hochsaison: Schoggihasen. Doch so süss die Schokolade schmeckt: Die Produktion von Kakao hat auch eine bittere Seite. Für Kakao-Plantagen werden enorme Regenwald-Flächen abgeholzt. Eine Schokolade ohne Kakao wäre also – ökologisch gesehen – eine willkommene Alternative. «Kassensturz» zeigt, woran verschiedene Unternehmen in Sachen Schokolade ohne Kakao aktuell tüfteln. «Darf man das?» – Der Nachbar als Schrecken der Strasse In der Serie «Darf man das?» beantwortet «Kassensturz»-Rechtsexpertin Gabriela Baumgartner Fragen aus dem Alltag. Die Zuschauerinnen und Zuschauer können während der Sendung ihr Rechtsempfinden testen. Heute: Darf man den Nachbarn beim Strassenverkehrsamt anzeigen, weil er nicht fahrtüchtig scheint? Darf man das? Test «Haarföhn» – Dyson gegen günstigere Alternativen Der Dyson Supersonic gilt als Luxus-Föhn. Doch kann das 400-Franken-Gerät auch im Alltag überzeugen und ist es seinen hohen Preis wert? Im Test treten vier günstigere Modelle gegen das Original an.

Driving the updated small Honda HR-V SUV which now comes in three models,the entry pure petrol plus two hybrids – I tested the top spec HR-V hybrid E-HEVL at $42,990 drive-away which combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with two electricmotors producing combined outputs of 96kW and 253 Nm of torque – smooth,quiet and refined, the hybrid system generally prioritising electric power, thepetrol engine kicking in to act as a generator to charge the battery, the electricmotor in turn drawing on that charge to power the front wheels. The drive is verylinear and polished, as I said quiet, and the only time the petrol engine isnoticeable is under a heavy throttle where the continuously variable transmissionlets the petrol engine surge a little and make its presence felt. On 91 grade petrol Imanaged 4.9L/100km making the HR-V a very frugal driver with an impressiverange. The drive experience with great seats, nimble steering and a nicelybalanced ride/handling combination gives this compact Honda HR-V hybrid SUVa very polished feel. It’s not the most affordable compact SUV in its class butoverall, a very nice allrounder with servicing capped for each of the first fiveyears at a sharp $199.

Ein junger Bauarbeiter nimmt es gleich mit zwei grossen Konzernen auf: Die Suva stellt ihre Zahlungen ein und seine Rechtsschutzversicherung, die Axa, will ihn nicht unterstützen. Doch der Betroffene lässt nicht locker. +++ Weiteres Thema: Schneesport-Helme im Test.

Arbeit kann krank machen, durch Lärm, Staub, Chemikalien und vieles mehr. Nicht nur die Gesundheit ist dann gefährdet – es drohen Kündigung und Geldprobleme. Eine Anerkennung als Berufskrankheit federt manche Folgen ab, doch der Weg dahin kann steinig sein. «Puls» zeigt das Dilemma Betroffener. Schicksalsschlag Berufskrankheit Wer im Job erkrankt, hat Anspruch auf Hilfe: Die Unfallversicherung des Arbeitgebers bezahlt Behandlungskosten, hilft bei Arbeitsplatz-Anpassungen, Umschulungen oder richtet bei Invalidität eine Rente aus. Um Leistungen zu bekommen, muss das Leiden allerdings als Berufskrankheit anerkannt sein – was oft nicht der Fall ist. Und selbst mit einer anerkannten Berufskrankheit kann man in Not geraten. «Puls» zeigt das Dilemma Betroffener. Schlecht geschützt: Vergiftet – Rente ja, Schadenersatz nein David Francescato, 46, reinigte und versiegelte jahrelang Oberflächen industrieller Anlagen. Die Schutzmassnahmen gegen Staub und giftige Dämpfe waren, so weiss er heute, völlig ungenügend. Was schliesslich zu einer systemischen Sklerodermie führte. Die unheilbare Krankheit schädigt das Bindegewebe und damit die betroffenen Organe wie Blutgefässe, Lunge, Nieren. Francescatos Leiden wurde von der Unfallversicherung als Berufskrankheit anerkannt, er erhält eine Invalidenrente. Um Schadenersatz vom Arbeitgeber muss der Familienvater aber selbst kämpfen. Ekzeme durch Desinfektionsmittel – Jobverbot, arbeitslos Lassen sich die Auslöser einer Arbeitserkrankung beseitigen, können viele Betroffene in ihren Job zurück. Doch das ist nicht immer möglich: Die bald 60-jährige Claudine Volluz arbeitete als Pflegehelferin, bis ihre Hände gegen den häufigen Kontakt mit Desinfektionsmitteln rebellierten: Extreme Hautreaktionen beendeten ihr Berufsleben im Pflegeheim. Denn die Suva anerkannte zwar die Berufskrankheit – verordnete aber gleichzeitig auch ein präventives Berufsverbot, um eine weitere Gefährdung zu verhindern. Es folgte eine Phase der Umorientierung, abgefedert durch eine Entschädigung. Mit wenig Erfolg: Claudine Volluz ist auf dem Arbeitsamt gelandet. Schutz am Arbeitsplatz – Arbeitgebende in der Verantwortung Arbeitgebende sind dafür verantwortlich, dass Angestellte durch ihre Arbeitsbedingungen nicht geschädigt werden. Sie haben auch die Weisungsrechte, um entsprechende Schutzmassnahmen durchzusetzen. Trotzdem kommt es vor, dass Präventionsmassnahmen vernachlässigt werden, die viele Krankheiten verhindern könnten. «Puls»-Chat – Fragen und Antworten zum Thema «Krank durch Arbeit» Was muss ich tun, wenn ich glaube, dass meine gesundheitlichen Probleme arbeitsbedingt sind? Warum gilt gerade mein Leiden nicht als Berufskrankheit? Bin ich in meinem Studentenjob gegen Unfall und Krankheit versichert? Wie kann ich mich wehren, wenn mein Arbeitgeber nötige Schutzmassnahmen ignoriert? Die Fachrunde weiss am Montag von 21.00 bis 23.00 Uhr Rat – live im Chat. Fragen können vorab eingereicht werden.

In this episode Familiar Stranger sat down with Fijian author and political analyst Edward Narain and Associate Professor Tarryn Philips from La Trobe University. Together Edward and Tarryn published Sugar: An Ethnographic Novel which reveals the extent to which the lives, health, and opportunities of Fijians are still dramatically affected by the country's colonial past and entrenched inequality. Set in Suva, with a tropical cyclone looming, Sugar follows three strangers from different cultural backgrounds as they find themselves entwined in a brutal murder: revealing inconvenient truths about the darker side of global development in Fiji. The story follows a naïve but well-intentioned Australian health volunteer, a jaded Indo-Fijian amateur historian, and a troubled Fijian (iTaukei) teen caring for his diabetic grandmother. The reader is immersed in each character's world and slowly comes to understand the historical and structural reasons behind Fiji's diabetes epidemic, exploitative labour and trade practices, and the role Australia and other nations play in both.

The Hurricanes are now 8 for 8 in Super Rugby.  They picked up a win in Suva against the Fijian Drua, taking the win by 23 points.  Assistant Coach Jamie Mackintosh joined Piney to dive into the match and break down the win.  Mackintosh told him that while the win wasn't perfect by any means, they got off to a good start and pushed the lead, which allowed them to hang on pretty well in the second half.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you're interested in natural dyes, or want to know more about hands-on textile techniques, this episode is a joy. It's also a great one if you are into ideas around seasonality and connection to Nature. Aren't we all?!Continuing our Pacific theme (don't miss last week's Episode with Fiji Fashion Week's Ellen Whippy-Knight) these two stories are also from Fiji, but a long way from its capital Suva. They're both about different aspects of Indigenous practices, and living in balance with the the land, the oceans, the skies and biodiversity.First, meet Letila Mitchell, a renowned artist, designer and performer from Rotuma. Her work in the fashion space grew out of costume, & has developed into a practice that's all about revitalising traditional Rotuman textile making, and re-finding cultural knowledge disrupted by colonisation.Our second interview is with Noleen Billings, from Savusavu, on Fiji's northern island of Vanua Levu. Noleen isn't famous or a fancy expert in anything other than common sense but her simple message is a powerful one: In the busy modern world, it's easy to forget the Nature usually knows best. Indigenous wisdom is deeply connected with reading Nature's signals, and we can all learn from that. There are universal lessons in here, as well as some thought-provoking questions. For example, what does it mean to be wise? Where does schooled knowledge, written down in books, fit in - and why do we have to so rigid about it? Knowledge that's shared and passed down in different ways is just as important…Check the shownotes for links & further reading.Tell us what you think!

This is the second in the Future Fisheries Management series that we are producing in collaboration with the Mercatus Center at George Mason University and the Center for Governance and Markets at the University of Pittsburgh. In this episode, Michael speaks with Bubba Cook, the Western and Central Pacific Tuna Programme Manager at the World Wildlife Fund, or WWF. Bubba's career has included multiple phases. He obtained his law degree from Lewis and Clark Law School, working for the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service in Alaska where he led a team in the implementation of of a catch share, also known as an individual transferable quota, program for the North Pacific crab fishery made famous by the TV show “Deadliest Catch.” Bubba later joined WWf's Arctic Programme to support fisheries conservation and management efforts across the Bering Sea from the Russian Far East to Alaska's remote indigenous communities. In 2010, he joined the U.S. Peace Corps and servedin  Fiji, where he supported several grassroots marine conservation projects over two years. Since 2012, Bubba has worked as the Western and Central Pacific Tuna Programme Manager for WWF out of Suva, Fiji, and Wellington, New Zealand, where he focuses on improving tuna fisheries management at a national and regional level in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean through policy improvements, market tools, and technological innovation. Michael and Bubba discuss the lessons that Bubba has learned at each step along the way, and Michael asks him about the recent WTO fishing subsidies agreement that were a central focus of the workshop where they met.

In this episode, the FAQ is: Should I travel while I am still working or wait until retirement? Today's Destination is Suva, Fiji. Today's Mistake- Eating expired food. Travel Advice:  travel in a circle for the best time management. FAQ: Should I travel while still working or wait until retirement? Both options have their benefits. If you are currently employed and have a steady income, it might be a good idea to travel now as you would be able to manage the expenses of traveling. Additionally, your company's health insurance plan may provide coverage regardless of where you travel.   There are some counterarguments to the idea of traveling while still employed. For example, if you are in a high-pressure job, taking time off to travel might be difficult, and the stress of your job may make it difficult to enjoy your trip. Also, leaving them for an extended period might not be ideal if you have a family.   On the other hand, waiting until retirement to travel might mean you miss out on specific experiences better enjoyed while you are young and physically active. Additionally, if you wait too long, you might not have the same level of energy and enthusiasm that you would have had when you were younger.    I traveled while still working, but I took 90 days off when I traveled around the world this summer. However, you may regret not starting earlier if you wait until retirement. I want you to know that the decision depends on your ambition and the available time. Today's destination: Suva, Fiji.   Bula, or cheers, to a beautiful trip!   Today's Mistake- Eating expired food   I made pancakes without checking the label. I got awfully sick about 20 minutes later. I had what they call the two-bucket problem. You can figure it out.    When I looked at the label on the ingredients, it expired 8 years ago, so that was my problem for not checking the expiration date. Don't cook food that is expired like I did.   Today's Travel Advice: Travel in a circle for the best time management.   I flew in a circle around the world and got to see a lot. Like me, you can look at the map and circle the places you plan to visit. With a pen or using stickers,  Map out the most circular route and stick to it so you don't need to backtrack if possible. If you foresee that happening, try to move that other item to another day or save it for the next time you are nearby. I always try to leave something for the “next time” I visit a region.   Connect with Dr Travelbest   5stepstosolotravel.com Drmarytravelbest.com Dr. Mary Travelbest Twitter Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Page Dr. Mary Travelbest Facebook Group Dr. Mary Travelbest Instagram Dr. Mary Travelbest Podcast Dr. Travelbest on TikTok Dr.Travelbest onYouTube  

Sagufta Janif is the Executive Director of Outsource Fiji. She is based in Suva, Fiji. Fiji is located in the South Pacific, east of Australia and north of New Zealand. It is an island country with a population of approximately one million people, but Fiji has been punching above its weight in CX and BPO. What is Fiji offering and why are so many companies interested in BPO from Fiji? Peter Ryan called Sagufta at her base in Suva to explore these questions. https://www.linkedin.com/in/sagufta-janif-social-impact-entrepreneur/ https://outsourcefiji.com/

Élévation du niveau de la mer, réchauffement et acidification de l'océan… sans compter les inondations, sécheresses et catastrophes naturelles à répétition, les nations du Pacifique sont en danger de disparition totale, comme l'alerte le dernier rapport du GIEC. Les regards des pays insulaires sont tournés vers la COP. Aux îles Fidji, la santé et la sécurité alimentaire des 900 000 habitants sont déjà en danger. Les conséquences du réchauffement climatique, c'est pour eux le quotidien. (Rediffusion) De notre envoyée spéciale aux Fidji,Le petit village de Narikoso, sur l'île d'Ono, dans l'archipel de Kadavu, petit bout de paradis au bord de l'eau bleu turquoise, n'est accessible que par bateau. À peine le pied posé à terre, force est de constater que l'océan s'est déjà frayé un chemin entre les maisons faites de planches de bois et de toits en taule.Katerina Ravasea, la chef du village, a le regard espiègle, mais la voix triste, lorsqu'elle explique que depuis quelques années, l'océan ne cesse de se rapprocher de sa maison. « On voit l'eau monter, de plus en plus, et les vagues passent par-dessus le mur de pierre que nous avons construit pour empêcher l'eau de nous envahir. C'est ma maison ici, c'est ici que je veux mourir malgré tout. » Le gouvernement s'est rendu dans le village et a promis d'aider les habitants à déménager. « Sur les 23 maisons que le gouvernement nous a promis de déplacer, seulement sept l'ont été. Nous attendons qu'on vienne pour les autres, depuis des mois. Ce qui me blesse, c'est qu'on nous a promis des choses et nous attendons toujours ». Katerina Ravasea explique qu'une équipe de scientifiques est venue inspecter les sols et ils ont fait état de la présence d'eau en dessous des maisons du village. La chef sait que quoi qu'il arrive, il faudra déplacer tout le monde. Certains habitants du village ont déjà déménagé. C'est le cas de Joseva Rabonu, père de deux enfants. Il habitait sur le bord de mer, sa maison est à présent située un peu plus haut, sur une colline. « J'ai voulu déménager, car les anciens du village qui vivaient ici n'avaient pas de problèmes, mais nous, on voit bien la différence, observe-t-il.Ceux de ma génération, on sait très bien que le changement climatique existe, je vois de mes propres yeux le niveau de la mer monter. Vous voyez le mur de pierres là-bas ? Avant, il était au sec, maintenant la mer est passée par-dessus. »Sa crainte principale aujourd'hui, c'est de savoir où ses enfants pourront vivre. « Je pense qu'il sera difficile de vivre ici pour eux. C'est pour ça qu'on se relocalise plus haut, même si je porte toujours mon ancienne maison dans mon cœur. Mais l'eau monte à une vitesse folle et on constate aussi l'érosion du sol. Mieux vaut vivre plus haut. Même si maintenant, il faut tout porter en haut de la colline… Quand on va pêcher, c'est ça le plus difficile, la distance. »Catastrophes naturelles plus fréquentesLes villages en bord de mer sont affectés par la montée du niveau de la mer, mais ceux qui se trouvent en hauteur subissent aussi les conséquences du réchauffement climatique, car les rivières le long desquelles ils se sont installés ne cessent de grossir, notamment à cause de l'érosion des sols, provoquant des inondations sans précédent.   C'est le cas dans le village de Naqali, situé à une trentaine de kilomètres au nord de Suva, la capitale des îles Fidji. Dans cette verdure luxuriante, une rivière gonflée traverse les plantations longées de bananiers. « Avant je pouvais franchir cette rivière à pied, si facilement, mais maintenant, c'est trop large et trop profond », explique Mosese Vosabeci, le représentant du village. Vêtu de sa chemise traditionnelle bleue et fleurie et de son sulu, la jupe noire que portent les hommes aux Fidji, il nous emmène devant les champs qui appartiennent au village. D'un geste de la main, il montre là où l'eau s'engouffre lors de grandes crues. « Ce qui est dangereux, c'est que la rivière monte et recouvre nos plantations qui se trouvent un peu plus bas que nos maisons. Sauf que lorsque nos plantes sont touchées, ce sont nos provisions qui le sont aussi, car nous dépendons de nos plantes pour nous nourrir, mais aussi pour les vendre au marché, c'est ce qui nous rapporte de l'argent, et c'est ce qui nous permet d'envoyer nos enfants à l'école ». Maritana Korosinu, une jeune femme d'une trentaine d'années, vit à Naqali depuis dix ans. Ici, elle cultive du taro, le cousin polynésien de la pomme de terre. Le changement climatique, pour elle, cela veut parfois dire tout reconstruire et repartir à zéro. « Ces plantations, c'est notre source de revenus, c'est grâce à ces plantes que nous aidons nos enfants et notre famille à se nourrir et à gagner de l'argent. Quand les cyclones nous frappent, nous sommes durement touchés. »Elle raconte qu'elle voit le changement de climat comparé à l'époque où elle est arrivée à Naqali. « Maintenant, tout a changé, il y a plus de cyclones, nous luttons beaucoup plus qu'avant. Quand un cyclone arrive ici, nos moyens de subsistance sont complètement détruits parce que nous dépendons entièrement de nos cultures pour gagner notre vie et élever nos enfants. » Préparer le territoireLe changement climatique est une réalité bien présente aux îles Fidji, comme partout ailleurs dans le Pacifique. Parmi les solutions possibles pour lutter contre de trop grands changements, il y a celles basées sur la nature, comme planter des mangroves. « La mangrove joue un rôle important dans l'écosystème côtier et marin. C'est là que les poissons viennent et pondent leurs œufs. La plupart des poissons viennent pondre dans les zones de mangrove et repartent vers les zones de récifs, donc la mangrove est un trésor dans les zones côtières », explique Etika Qica, qui travaille au sein de l'UICN, un réseau qui réunit et mobilise les connaissances et les ressources de plus de 1400 organisations environnementales à travers le monde. « Elles empêchent l'érosion côtière, s'il y a de fortes pluies qui secouent la mer, les vagues frappent d'abord la mangrove avant d'atteindre le récif, c'est pourquoi la mangrove n'est pas un endroit agréable pour se promener, c'est très boueux, mais ces boues sont vraiment planifiées stratégiquement par la nature pour absorber tous les polluants avant qu'ils n'atteignent le récif corallien. Enlevez la mangrove et vous tuez tous vos magnifiques récifs coralliens à côté. Et bien sûr, toutes les formes de vie qui s'y trouvent », prévient-il.Mais planter de la mangrove n'est pas suffisant selon lui. Il est temps de penser à des solutions adaptées. « Ce qui nous inquiète tous, c'est de savoir où nous allons aller, où nous vivrons. On prévoit que la plupart de nos îles seront sous l'eau dans les 50 prochaines années. Vous l'entendez, mais vous n'y croyez pas vraiment. Si vous vivez sur un atoll, l'augmentation du niveau de la mer est une réalité, d'autant plus quand vous avez les grandes marées. Mais je pense que même nos solutions basées sur la nature ne pourront pas relever le défi. Nous avons besoin maintenant d'aider la nature. Il est temps que nous trouvions des infrastructures vertes pour aider nos zones côtières. Planter des mangroves ne suffira pas. »L'UICN collabore avec les locaux pour construire des murs marins, aider à la reconstruction des récifs coralliens afin de réduire les impacts sur les zones côtières. « C'est vraiment urgent. Il faudra redessiner nos villages. Où va-t-on les relocaliser ? Il faut être proactif. Et ne laissez pas nos communautés se débrouiller avec ça. Nous sommes confrontés chaque année à des pertes de vies humaines, dans certaines de ces communautés côtières, car elles ne sont pas prêtes. »Perte de la terre au détriment de la merLes scientifiques qui travaillent au sein de la Communauté du Pacifique, la principale organisation scientifique et technique régionale, accompagnant le développement de la région, tentent au mieux d'alerter sur les risques qu'encourent les îles de la région face au réchauffement climatique. Ils ont créé une maquette en 3D d'un atoll et étudié l'impact de l'élévation du niveau de la mer et de l'inondation sur les îles basses. Selon eux, si le niveau de l'océan augmente de 80 cm d'ici 2100, un grand nombre de petites îles seront complètement inondées et leurs sources d'eau potable empoisonnées par l'eau salée : elles deviendront inhabitables. « Je pense que nous ne saisissons toujours pas l'urgence et le besoin que nous avons dans la région en matière d'adaptation au climat, élabore Hervé Damlamian, le chef de projet prévision et surveillance des océans. Pour le moment, on met de la rustine à droite à gauche. Les problèmes sont encore abordés de façon sectorielle, mais ce n'est absolument pas ce dont notre région a besoin ».L'océanographe explique la nécessité de cartographier les vulnérabilités des îles du Pacifique. « Il faut s'atteler à la sécurité alimentaire, examiner la question des transports, de la connectivité et de l'énergie. S'assurer d'avoir de l'eau potable. Nous avons besoin d'une ligne conductrice de notre adaptation qui peut vraiment s'attaquer à tous ces problèmes de vulnérabilité en même temps. Si nous voulons vraiment être honnête sur les besoins de la région en termes d'adaptation, avoir ces petits fonds dédiés pour une approche sectorielle autour de l'adaptation au climat, ça ne va pas suffire et nous allons droit au mur. Ce dont nous avons besoin, c'est d'augmenter nos financements et nos investissements.»Malgré tout, il est cependant encore tout à fait possible d'agir selon lui et c'est la raison pour laquelle les regards sont tournés vers la COP27. « Il y a beaucoup de frustrations dans la région lorsque l'on voit les différentes COP se dérouler, nous les suivons avec grande attention. C'est à la fois porteur d'espoir et de frustrations auxquelles les communautés du Pacifique sont confrontées. Pour nous qui vivons et respirons dans cette partie du monde, il semble évident que le besoin est urgent et que nous n'avons plus le temps d'attendre, nous n'avons plus le temps d'appliquer des rustines un peu partout, avec de petits investissements. Nous aimerions voir peut-être un peu plus d'ambition et d'engagement de la part des pays développés comme la France pour vraiment s'engager dans cette voie. Il faut soutenir ces cultures uniques et les identités culturelles que nous avons dans la région du Pacifique et s'assurer que ces identités et ces cultures qui font partie de notre patrimoine mondial seront toujours là pour les générations futures et que nous vivrons toujours tous ici. »

The Center for Naval Analyses' 2023 Advancing Women, Peace and Security: Building Inclusive Resilience in the Pacific conference hosted in Suva, Fiji brought together some of the Pacific Islands leading women voices and activists to not only educate and share lessons learned but to encourage the discussion beyond headlines and into the preservation of culture, way of life, tradition and conservation for generations to come. Listen in as we hear from the front line in a conversation moderated by our FemLink partner Maria Nailevu with guest speakers- Maureen Penjueli, Coordinator of Pacific Network on Globalisation (PANG), Adi Vasulevu Merewalesi Levu, Executive Director of Transcend Oceania and Cressida Kuala, Founder of the Porgera Red Wara Women's Association (PNG). Oftentimes the lens by which we view the world can become clouded by our experiences, our exposure, our bias. Oftentimes, we decide for others based on these constraints with the understanding that our way, our thoughts, our view is golden and complete. Well, what happens when we all come to this conclusion on the same topic, when we all see the solution through our lens and yet a way forward is not so clear…we call a draw and lean into the views of those, whose current and future immediate experiences are their everyday, not a headline occurrence. In concert, we agree that proximity is the ultimate advantage and we simply listen to Maureen Penjueli, Adi Vasulevu Merewalesi Levu, and Cressida Kuala and ask the question, how does climate change and food stability impact security and stability.

... a 1 on 1 interview like you have never heard before! #UNFILTERED

A historical mystery novel set in 1914 Fiji takes readers back to the era of British colonialism - and an economy supported by indentured labourers brought over from India to work on the nation's sugar cane plantations. A Disappearance in Fiji is on the surface a whodunnit set in tropical Suva, but at its heart, it's a story of the plight of indentured Indian labourers and the impact of British colonialism in the Pacific. It's the work of Nilima Rao, an Australian debut author who has been looking at her own Fijian Indian heritage and has traced the story of her great grandparents who went to Fiji in the early 1900s to escape poverty.

Former Fijian prime minister Frank Bainimarama is due to appear for a special hearing in a Suva court this morning after spending the night in a police cell alongside the suspended police chief Sitiveni Qiliho.The pair were charged with one count each of abuse of office following the sanctioning of charges by the Public Prosecutions director (DPP) Christopher Pryde yesterday. The two are alleged to have interfered in an active investigation into a financial mismanagement case involving former staff of the University of the South Pacific almost four years ago. Also, the initial estimate of the recovery cost following Vanuatu's twin cyclone disaster is estimated at six billion vatu, or just under $US50 million. And after four years of disruption, Polyfest has kicked off, with live audiences, in Tamaki Makaurau.

Former Fijian prime minister Frank Bainimarama spent last night in police custody in Suva after being arrested and charged with abuse of office.  He is due to appear in court today. RNZ Pacific journalist Koroi Hawkins spoke to Morning Report.

Suva, Fiji

"The vessel would never sink unless she broke up... I just can't understand why everybody would have abandoned her."On 10 November 1955, Captain Gerald Douglas of the merchant ship Tuvalu sighted the MV Joyita in the South Pacific near Fiji. The Joyita had left Samoa in the first week of October and was five weeks overdue to arrive in the Tokelau Islands, a territory of New Zealand, and was nearly 800 miles off-course. When it had left port, there had been 25 people aboard the Joyita, 16 crew and 9 passengers, plus four tons of cargo. Yet the Tuvalu's boarding party found the ship barren and abandoned...
