1. HEART OF THE MATTER 1A. Record-Breaking Missionary Numbers — Pres. Oaks at New Mission Leader Seminar At the 2026 Seminar for New Mission Leaders (June 18–21, Provo MTC), President Dallin H. Oaks announced that the Church will soon have the largest number of full-time missionaries in its history, surpassing the current 87,000+ serving worldwide. The surge is driven by the first wave of 18-year-old sister missionaries (following the November policy change lowering the minimum age from 19) and the addition of 55 new missions in July, bringing the global total to 506. President Oaks outlined three characteristics defining the restored Church: (1) the fulness of doctrine (including eternal marriage between a man and a woman); (2) priesthood authority and keys; and (3) a unique testimony of Christ grounded in modern revelation and the First Vision. Sister Kristin Oaks also spoke, sharing six core truths missionaries teach.

New Hymn ‘Welcome Home’ — The Story Behind It Composer Andrea Brett explains how a 2017 encounter with Demetrius O’Neal — a recent convert serving as a greeter at a Spokane ward on a snowy Sunday morning — inspired her hymn ‘Welcome Home,’ now published in the new Hymns for Home and Church. Brett submitted 10 pieces when the global hymnbook was announced in 2018; this was the only one she’d written before the call. She received confirmation of its selection in February 2025, then had a full-circle moment when she and O’Neal sat near each other at the April 2025 General Conference as the Tabernacle Choir performed it. O’Neal’s name appears in the hymn’s tune name as a tribute. The hymn is now translated and sung globally. Source: Church Newsroom / Richie’s document 1C. Family History Records Are a ‘Sacred Thread’ — Elder Bragg at International Archivists Congress Elder Mark A. Bragg, General Authority Seventy and executive director of the Church’s Family History Department and FamilySearch International, was a keynote speaker at the III Congress of Archivists: Digital Archive Expo (DA-EXPO), held June 8–12 in Astana, Kazakhstan. He called family history records ‘the thin but sacred thread’ tying people together across generations, and argued that records are ‘in a very real sense, witnesses.’ Elder Bragg framed the digital revolution in genealogy in moral terms: for most of history, access to records was shaped by ‘proximity, resources and specialized knowledge,’ but today a record created in one place can be preserved in another, indexed in a third, and discovered by someone on the other side of the world. ‘The reach is astonishing. The speed is breathtaking. The possibilities are almost beyond measure.’ He also said that ‘access is an act of kindness’ — records only fulfill their divine purpose when they are found, understood, and used. His core message: preserving memory is an act of hope. ‘It says that the past is not dead to us and that the future deserves more than fragments.’ Source: Church News, June 17, 2026 Angle: Great ‘quiet but meaningful’ story — LDS family history going global and leveling the playing field for genealogy worldwide. 1D. America Gives — All 50 States Receive Food Donations The Church completed a milestone in its ‘America Gives’ initiative by delivering a shipping container of food to Hilo, Hawaii — marking all 50 states reached. The initiative aims to deliver 250 truckloads of food nationwide in 2026 to celebrate the U.S. 250th anniversary. In Hawaii, the food went to The Food Basket, distributed to 10 local nonprofits. Notably, 42% of residents on the island of Hawaii face food insecurity — the state’s highest rate. Rosie Rios, chair of America 250 and former U.S. Treasurer, praised the milestone. Local Methodist pastor Ted Lesnett said recipients will know ‘when they were hungry, someone cared.’ Source: Church Newsroom / Richie’s document 1E. Church Donates $250,000 NZD to Christchurch Anglican Cathedral Rebuild The Church announced a NZ$250,000 donation (June 19, 2026) toward the restoration of Christchurch’s iconic Anglican Cathedral — damaged in the February 2011 earthquake. Elder Peter F. Meurs (Pacific Area President) and Anglican Bishop Peter Carrell presided at the announcement. The donation comes as the project faces a $45M funding shortfall and an overall $219M budget. The Christchurch City Council has offered $15M contingent on government and Anglican Church matches. Notably, a New Zealand Buddhist community made a similar gift in 2023 — the LDS donation continues a cross-faith pattern of support for the heritage project.

Central America Humanitarian Blitz — 5 Projects, 500,000+ People In late May and early June 2026, the Church announced five humanitarian projects across Central America (with Sister J. Anette Dennis, First Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency, representing the Church). Projects include: the ‘Windows of Light’ eyecare program in El Salvador (350,000+ screenings to date); safe water access for 250,000+ in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua (with UNICEF); nearly 750 computers/tablets donated to 66 educational institutions in Guatemala; and medical equipment for the ‘La Mascota’ children’s hospital in Nicaragua.

Todd Christofferson: He offered the invocation at Becket’s Canterbury Medal Gala in Philadelphia (multifaith event celebrating religious liberty), alongside Elder Gary E. Stevenson and others. The group also visited the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall — fitting, ahead of America’s 250th. Christofferson reflected on D&C 101 and the Constitution’s purpose to protect ‘all flesh.’ From Philadelphia, he and Sister Christofferson traveled to Toronto, meeting 250+ missionaries in the Canada Toronto Mission weeks before it divides into three missions (Toronto West, Toronto East, and Montreal). He also spoke to hundreds of LDS youth, with one — Amelia Fischer — saying ‘no amount of words can describe how I felt tonight.’ Source: Richie’s document / Church Newsroom 2B. BYU Scholar Study: Religion Adds 7.6 Years to Life The BYU Wheatley Institute is releasing three reports analyzing 3,000 of the most scientifically rigorous studies (culled from 60,000+ papers by Duke University) on religion and health. Key findings: 33/34 studies show improved social health; 10/11 show improved mental health; 7/8 show improved physical health. Regular worshippers live an average of 7.6 years longer (up to 13.7 years longer for African Americans). A ‘landmark finding’: 256 studies show religion prevents/aids recovery from substance abuse (vs. 6 showing negative impact). Author Loren Marks recommends public health frameworks treat religious involvement like exercise recommendations. Source: Richie’s document 2C. Elder Soares Testifies in the Philippines Elder Ulisses Soares completed a two-week ministry in the Philippines (mid-May 2026), meeting with 600+ young single adults in Cebu, 450+ in Quezon City, and 340+ missionaries at the Philippines MTC. His recurring message: ‘His arms are extended to all of us.’ The Philippines has more than 905,000 Latter-day Saints — the Church’s fourth-largest national membership. Two new temples were also dedicated in the Philippines this month: the Davao Philippines Temple (Elder Renlund, May 3) and the Bacolod Philippines Temple (Elder Andersen, May 31). Source: Church Newsroom, June 17, 2026 3. CULTURE & CURIOSITIES 3A. LDS Author in Everyman’s Library — A First BYU biology and bioethics professor Steven L. Peck has reportedly become the first Latter-day Saint author included in the prestigious Everyman’s Library series (publishing canonical English fiction since 1906). His 2012 novella A Short Stay in Hell — a philosophical horror story about a Mormon man condemned to an afterlife library containing every possible book — went viral on BookTok and found a new audience. A literature historian noted: ‘No Mormon or Mormon-adjacent writer that I know of has ever been featured in this prestigious series.’ The Salt Lake Tribune covered the story, noting the irony that a theological horror story marks one of the most significant moments in LDS literary history.

The Sasine Family — 40 Countries Before Age 1 Keith and Chelsea Sasine, an LDS couple stationed in Germany (Keith is an Army oral surgeon), made history in November 2025 by taking their youngest daughter Mia to 40 countries before her first birthday (March–November 2025), using a Honda Odyssey for European road trips. The family of six (including Izzy, 10; Abby, 9; and John, 4) attends local wards wherever they travel — a faith anchor the couple says strengthened their testimony and taught their kids the importance of the Sabbath globally. They’re planning a move to Colorado Springs in 2026. Source: Richie’s document 3C. Jen Affleck (Secret Lives of Mormon Wives) Expecting Baby #4 Jen Affleck, 27-year-old star of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Dancing with the Stars alum, announced June 18 that she and husband Zac Affleck are expecting their fourth child. She shared the news on Instagram captioned ‘Chapter Four.

In this episode, Kate speaks with surgeon, writer, and public health leader Dr. Atul Gawande about the deeply human questions that surface when medicine meets its limits. What does it mean to be a good doctor when a cure isn't possible? What do people really mean when they say they want “quality of life?” Together, they talk about caregiving, end-of-life decisions, and how the most honest conversations in healthcare begin—not with answers—but with better questions. For anyone living with chronic illness, caring for someone they love, or wondering what it means to live a good life with limits, this conversation won't offer easy fixes. But it might offer something just as rare: clarity, compassion, and the courage to ask what really matters. This episode originally aired September 2025. Watch the full episode on YouTube: Kate C.

Episode 230 with Soledad Sanchez Canamares, Family Friendly Workplace Policy Specialist at UNICEF Eastern and Southern Africa, where she works with businesses, governments, and development partners to advance workplace policies that improve employee wellbeing, talent retention, workforce productivity, and long term business performance.As organisations across Africa and around the world face growing talent shortages, rising employee turnover, and changing workforce expectations, family friendly workplace policies are increasingly being recognised as a competitive advantage rather than simply an employee benefit. In this episode, Soledad explains why policies such as paid parental leave, childcare support, flexible working arrangements, and breastfeeding accommodations are becoming critical tools for attracting and retaining talent, improving workforce participation, and strengthening organisational resilience.Drawing on global evidence, business case studies, and UNICEF's Family Friendly Policies Toolkit, Soledad explores the relationship between workforce wellbeing and business performance. She discusses how employers can improve employee retention, productivity, engagement, and gender equality while building stronger and more resilient organisations. The conversation also examines the economic impact of care responsibilities, the role of workplace flexibility in the future of work, and why supporting working parents is increasingly being viewed as a business growth strategy.The discussion focuses on the African context, where informality remains high and many businesses operate with limited resources.What We Discuss With SolededWhy businesses may be losing money by failing to invest in family friendly workplace policies.Whether Africa is leaving billions in economic growth untapped because workplaces are not designed around how people actually live and care for their families.The hidden link between talent shortages, employee turnover, and the lack of support for working parents and caregivers.What family friendly workplace policies look like in Africa's informal economy, SMEs, and labour intensive industries where traditional models often fall short.Why investors, multinational companies, and global supply chains are increasingly treating family friendly policies as a competitiveness and business resilience issue.Did you miss my previous episode where I discuss The Grandmothers Helping Solve Africa's Mental Health Crisis?

“The most vulnerable are almost always children, because they don't have any ability to change their circumstance. They don't start these wars. They are powerless to stop them, but they suffer so much in these situations.”Nada Tawfik speaks to Catherine Russell, executive director of UNICEF, the United Nations agency responsible for protecting and supporting children.Before taking up the role in 2022, she spent decades in government and diplomacy, including as assistant to President Joe Biden as well as serving in senior roles at the US State Department focused on global women's issues and international development. Now leading UNICEF at a time of unprecedented conflict, displacement and humanitarian need, she talks about the impact of aid cuts and the challenges facing children around the world.

La Fiscalía de Chile va a investigar un posible caso de tráfico de niños y adolescentes procedentes de Haití que llegaron a Chile en 2025, supuestamente dentro un proceso de reagrupación familiar, pero que iban acompañados de adultos que no eran sus familiares y cuya entrada en el país no cumplía con las normas del sistema de migración y extranjería. El Ministerio Público indaga el paradero de esos niños, que se desconoce. La Fiscalía chilena ha decidido investigar después de que Radio Bío-Bío desvelara un informe de la Contraloría, el organismo encargado de auditar, en el que se revelaban irregularidades en el proceso de entrada de al menos 486 menores de edad entre 2024 y 2025. ¿Dónde están los menores? “La Contraloría comienza esta investigación a raíz de las denuncias, y observa que tanto el visado de reunificación como los viajes de los menores no cumplían ciertos protocolos establecidos dentro del margen que ordena administrativamente la ley. Por ejemplo, las visas que se estaban entregando, había una flexibilización, es decir, documentos que eran fotocopias y que no había un registro concreto de que ese documento corresponda al niño que se estaba identificando en ese momento con la fotografía y con su huella dactilar”, detalla a RFI Néstor Aburto, el periodista que revelo la investigación. A partir de 2014, Chile empezó a recibir una ola de inmigración haitiana y estos vuelos con menores se justificaban porque supuestamente iban a reunirse con sus familias. De momento se desconoce el paradero de la mayor parte de los niños. “La investigación apunta a poder establecer dónde están los menores. Se calcula que eran cerca de 400 niños que la Contraloría tiene acreditados, pero lo que sabemos hasta ahora es que hay que ampliar el radio del tiempo en que niños viajaron solos desde Haití, que correspondería a fines del año 2022 hasta el año 2025”, precisa Aburto. ¿Quién está detrás de estos vuelos? La Fiscalía investiga quién o quiénes eran las personas que iban a bordo de los aviones con los niños. Se trata además, indica el periodista, de “saber quién pagó los aviones que salieron, que en un año aproximadamente fueron 11 aviones. Estamos hablando de un vuelo que cuesta entre 150, 180.000 dólares. La pregunta es: ¿cómo se financiaron estos vuelos? ¿Quién estuvo detrás de la contratación de estas aerolíneas para hacer estos viajes chárter? Y lo más importante, ¿quiénes eran los adultos que traían a estos niños y dónde se legalizaron los supuestos permisos?”. “Se ha transformado en una de las investigaciones más sensibles probablemente que hemos visto de los estamentos públicos en Chile, luego de la dictadura de 17 años de Augusto Pinochet”, concluye Néstor Aburto. La Fiscalía ha decidido que este asunto merece una investigación aparte, para despejar si hubo delito o no en el traslado de estos menores, algo que han denunciado también organizaciones como UNICEF.

Today I speak with Dr. Nina Schwalbe, a public health scientist and former senior leader at UNICEF and Gavi who helped lead a Biden-appointed $7B global COVID vaccine effort, about why she's running for Congress in New York's District 12 in a crowded, money-dominated primary (June 23). We unpack how fundraising, media coverage, Democratic club endorsements, and super PACs shaped by Citizens United create a self-fulfilling "arms race," and she proposes reforms like campaign finance limits, matching funds, and equal-time standards. We also discuss evidence-based, systems-oriented policy priorities: expanding community health centers, lowering drug prices via pooled purchasing and single-payer, restoring CDC/FDA capacity, strengthening Medicare/Medicaid/ACA, investing in public housing, improving transparency and constituent services, and rebuilding trust in science through listening and primary care.(01:59) Why She Ran(05:55) Money And Primaries(08:26) Minimum Viable Campaign(12:08) Machine And Super PACs(16:13) Fixing Campaign Finance(17:06) Public Health Mindset(20:52) Transparency And Accountability(23:45) Street Level Messaging(26:08) NYC Infrastructure Priorities(27:49) Hyperlocal Transit Problems(28:06) What Congress Controls(30:46) Abundance Agenda Debate(32:46) Fixing Public Housing(33:23) Trust in Institutions(35:38) Rebuilding Health Trust(37:12) Community Health Centers(38:13) Why Drugs Cost More(39:42) Restore Public Health Agencies(41:35) Economics Shapes Health(43:39) Single Payer and Prevention(45:58) Chronic Illness Care Gaps(48:58) Working With Paul Farmer(52:23) Vision for Healthcare JusticeNina's campaignFollow Nina on Instagram

Access to clean water is still out of reach for a staggering number of people—and it's not just a distant problem. According to estimates from WHO and UNICEF, over 2 billion people still don't have safely managed drinking water at home, a reality that impacts everything from health to education and economic opportunity. As pressure from climate change and population growth builds, there's increasing recognition that lasting solutions need to be built from the ground up, with communities at the center.Within that shift, purpose-driven initiatives are emerging that connect individual action with systemic change—focused on creating impact that lasts well beyond the moment.So what happens when a single individual attempts to run more than 15,000 kilometers across a continent—not for sport, but to catalyze transformation? Can a physical journey spark a scalable model for lifting communities out of poverty?Welcome to I Don't Care. In a conversation centered on purpose and impact, Dr. Kevin Stevenson is joined by Veronique Bourbeau, founder and CEO of Run4Humanity, to unpack a continent-spanning effort to transform communities through water, education, and endurance. The conversation spans far beyond endurance athletics, diving into the mechanics of sustainable development, behavioral change, and what it truly means to empower communities from within.Key takeaways from the episode…It's not about the run—it's about systems change: The journey is a vehicle to deliver water access, agricultural support, sanitation, and education through locally driven programs.Community-first implementation is critical: Every initiative is co-created with local leaders and tailored to the unique needs of each region, ensuring long-term sustainability.Behavioral transformation is the missing link: Beyond infrastructure, Run4Humanity emphasizes financial literacy, health, and mindset shifts to break the cycle of poverty.Veronique Bourbeau is an ultra-endurance athlete, author, and global humanitarian. A former journalist turned humanitarian leader, she combines expertise in international development, partnership-building, and community-led program design with elite ultra-endurance achievements, including a 3,010 km run across Japan and a record-setting 444 km race victory in Malaysia. Through Run4Humanity, she leverages large-scale endurance initiatives and global partnerships to advance water security, economic resilience, and long-term behavioral change.

While she works across a wide range of industries, she customizes every conversation to reflect the realities of each audience.In Thoughtload, Liane tackles today's most pressing management challenges: over-burdened systems, burned-out teams, and plateauing results. However, contrary to conventional wisdom, Davey argues that the problem is not with out-sized workloads. The root cause of the madness sapping productivity in today's offices is our excessive thoughtload.Thoughtload is the cumulative and often overwhelming burden of increasing cognitive and emotional demands, worsened by decreasing physical and mental energy. In this brilliant, highly prescriptive guide, Davey lays out the steps for reducing thoughtload, so that managers and their teams feel more focused―and get more done.For free resources and to order a copy of Thoughtload visit: Thoughtload.comBusiness Leadership Series Intro and Outro music provided by Just Off Turner: https://music.apple.com/za/album/the-long-walk-back/268386576

It's far from green fields and pastures. Dan Shannon, CEO of The Humane League, is working tirelessly to expose the harsh realities of factory farming and offer solutions that reduce the suffering of billions of animals trapped in these systems.“99% of animals raised for food never see anything like the pastoral images we grew up imagining,” Dan explained during today's episode. Instead, these animals are treated as commodities, often confined in spaces so small they can barely move.By raising awareness about the scale of this problem—affecting roughly 30 to 35 billion animals—Dan and The Humane League aim to inspire citizens, voters, and companies to take action. “Consumers never asked for this,” Dan emphasized, noting that 80% of Americans disapprove of factory farming practices.A core focus of The Humane League is transitioning companies from using conventional eggs to higher-welfare cage-free eggs. Despite the shortcomings of cage-free systems, this shift significantly reduces animal suffering. Dan likened the conditions of egg-laying hens in battery cages to being crammed into a file cabinet drawer with several others, unable to engage in basic natural behaviors. “Hens have natural instincts to perch, dust bathe, and establish social hierarchies that are utterly frustrated in these environments,” he said.In addition to advocating for corporate responsibility, awareness plays a significant role. Dan stressed the importance of consumers understanding product labels and seeking meaningful distinctions like “cage-free” while rejecting misleading terms like “all natural” or “farm fresh,” which are purely marketing.Ultimately, Dan believes change hinges on collective action. He encourages people to use their purchasing power, ask companies tough questions, and vote for policies and politicians prioritizing animal welfare.Through The Humane League's efforts, institutional policies are evolving, and public consciousness is shifting. As Dan put it, “No matter what you ate for breakfast, there's a lot you can do to help build a more compassionate world.”With tireless advocates like Dan leading the charge, the vision of ending factory farming is no longer a distant dream but a mission within reach.tl;dr:Dan Shannon explained how The Humane League combats factory farming to reduce animal suffering globally.The organization helps companies adopt higher-welfare practices like transitioning to cage-free egg production.Dan highlighted how misleading labels and marketing hinder consumer understanding of humane practices.Using shared values and informed voting, people can influence corporate and governmental animal welfare policies.Dan shared his superpower of values-driven communication, providing tips for engaging effectively with others.How to Develop Values-Driven Communication As a SuperpowerDan's superpower for leading The Humane League is his ability to communicate complex issues through shared values. He explains, “At the end of the day, our work is about values… I find most people to be empathetic.” Dan connects with others by focusing on common ground, stating, “People care about right and wrong and don't want to support practices they don't agree with.”Dan shared a story of appearing on a shock-jock radio show where he was initially mocked for his views on animal welfare. Despite the hostile tone, he engaged with empathy and humor, focusing on humane values. Weeks later, the host invited him back, seeking his expertise on an animal cruelty case. The relationship flourished, granting Dan recurring opportunities to educate millions of listeners about animal compassion.Actionable Tips to Develop Values-Driven Communication:Find Common Ground: Focus on shared values like empathy, fairness, or community.Avoid Assumptions: Approach every communication with an open mind and avoid writing people off.Simplify Complex Issues: Distill intricate topics into relatable, values-based messages.Stay Resilient: If met with resistance, remain patient, empathetic, and persistent.By following Dan's example and advice, you can make values-driven communication a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileDan Shannon (he/him):CEO, The Humane LeagueAbout The Humane League: The Humane League (THL) is a global nonprofit dedicated to ending the abuse of animals in the food system.

In a boardroom setting, young people are often spoken of and sometimes represented. But their ideas, opinions and provocations are mostly inconsequential, left untranslated to influence. After all, young people are full of naivety and inexperience that doesn't fit with our practical ‘real world' ... right? But Shai Naides says that their presence should be less like a token of good will, and more like a gesture of intent. Through his work in policy for intergenerational governance and participation, within UNICEF's office of strategy and evidence, Shai has uncovered what it takes to bring young people into multilateral forums where their (perhaps altruistic) challenges and perspectives to established thinking are turned into a mechanism for their agency. And perhaps gives them back a little bit of hope for the future.---Learn more:Looking Outside podcast www.looking-outside.comConnect with host, Jo Lepore on LinkedIn & Substack & jolepore.comConnect with Shai on LinkedIn Follow his writing on SubstackCheck out the UNICEF reports mentioned on the show at unicef.org/innocenti---⭐ Follow & rate the show - it makes a difference!---Looking Outside is a podcast exploring fresh perspectives of familiar topics.

Resumen de noticias de LA NACION de la tarde del 1 de junio de 2026 - edición de la tarde

Výtah Respektu: Duševní zdraví dětí v Česku se zhoršuje. Šťastně se cítí pouze polovina z nich. Vyplývá to z výzkumu Mladé hlasy, který letos poosmé realizoval UNICEF, a to ve spolupráci s agenturou STEM/MARK. Ukázalo se také, že šedesát procent dětí zažívá stres kvůli školním povinnostem nebo že více než šedesát procent tráví online více času, než by chtěly. K čemu získaná data slouží? Jak stát získává data o duševní pohodě dětí a mladistvých? Mají se na koho obrátit, pokud potřebují pomoc? Nejen o tom mluví v úterní epizodě Markéta Plíhalová.

New estimates of Global Patterns in Neonatal, Child, and Adolescent Mortality have been published - and while there has been a huge improvement, those gains are in danger - and we're seeing worrying trends.   Kate Strong, a Scientist at the World Health Organization and Lucia Hug, a specialist in statistics and monitoring for UNICEF, join us to explain the data - and why they are worried about our ability to measure this in the future.   Helen Sharman is the first British Astronaut to make it to space - this week she was at the Royal College of GPs giving the General Medical Council's annual Marx lecture. She joins us to discuss how research in space might impact healthcare on Earth, and what the NHS can learn from cosmonaut teamwork.    Finally, The government and doctors in England are not getting on well - we've had a series of strikes from the resident doctors, GPs are in dispute about the imposition of a new contract, and now consultants are being polled on industrial action.  BMA Consultants Committee co-chairs Shanu Dutta and Helen Neary explain why.   Reading list   Neonatal, Child, and Adolescent Mortality Global, regional, and national levels and trends in under 5, infant, and neonatal mortality during 1990-2024 with scenario based projections to 2030 Global, regional, and national levels and trends in older child, adolescent, and youth (5-24 years) all cause mortality from 1990 to 2024: modelling study Systematic estimates of global causes of neonatal and under 5 mortality in 2000-24: secondary data analysis using bayesian multinomial logistic regression Estimates of global causes of death for children and adolescents aged 5-19 in 2000-24: secondary data analysis using bayesian multinomial logistic regression   Full interview on YouTube: Why NHS Senior Doctors in England Are Considering Strike Action

Whether you're chasing a marathon PB or simply wondering what you're actually capable of - Olly Murs just raised the bar for everyone.The X Factor star ran, rowed, and cycled 400km across England in 5 days, raising over £1 million for Soccer Aid for UNICEF! No marathon experience. No route until each morning. A knee that's had five operations. And he loved every horrible second of it.Anya Culling and Coach Ben dive deeper into his Into the Unknown challenge, the endurance feat that pushed him further than anything in his career, and what every runner can take from it.In this episode:

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayotupeleka nchini Jamhuri ya Kidokrasia ya Congo DRC katika mji wa Mavivi jimboni kivu kaskazini Mashariki mwa nchi hiyo kusikia ni kwa jinsi gani walinda amani kutoka Tanzania wanaohudumu chini ya MONUSCO. wanavyochangia katika ulinzi wa amani na msaada wa kibinadamu.Umoja wa Mataifa umezitaka nchi zote duniani kuimarisha mifumo ya tahadhari za mapema baada ya kuthibitisha kuanza kwa hali ya El Niño, ukionya kuwa mabadiliko hayo ya joto la Bahari ya Pasifiki yataleta viwango vya juu vya joto kuliko kawaida karibu kila mahali duniani kati ya mwezi Juni mpaka Agosti na kuchochea matukio mabaya zaidi ya hali ya hewa. Akizungumza na waandishi wa habari jijini Geneva Uswisi Katibu Mkuu wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Hali ya hewa duniani WMO, Celeste Saulo amesema "Taarifa hizi ni muhimu kwa sababu El Niño ni kichocheo kikubwa cha hali ya hewa duniani na mifumo ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi, bahari yenye joto, huongeza joto na unyevu kwenye mfumo wa hali ya hewa ambao unaweza kutumika kuzidisha hali mbaya ya hewa ikiwa ni pamoja na joto kali, na mvua kubwa.”.'Zinakaribia siku 100 sasa tangu kuanza kwa mzozo wa Mashariki ya Kati ambao athari zake zimesambaa duniani kote kwani umevuruga njia za usafirishaji na umeongeza gharama za usafiri na kuchelewesha utoaji wa huduma muhimu. Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa linalohusika na masuala ya watoto UNICEF limeeleza kuwa fedha nyingi sasa zinatumika kwenye usafirishaji badala ya kununua vifaa vya kuokoa maisha ya watoto. Gharama za kusafirisha chanjo kwenda baadhi ya nchi barani Afrika zimeongezeka kwa hadi asilimia 70, huku gharama za kusafirisha chakula tiba, na vifaa vya elimu, nazo zikipanda kwa kiwango kikubwa. Shirika hilo linaonya kuwa hali hiyo inalazimisha kufanya maamuzi magumu kuhusu ni watoto gani wapate msaada kwanza". Mlipuko wa ugonjwa wa Ebola uliogundulika nchini Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia Congo DRC na Uganda mwezi uliopita wa Mei ambapo mpaka sasa watu 49 wamepoteza maisha, 48 nchini DRC na mmoja nchini Uganda. Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la afya ulimwenguni WHO Dkt. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus amezihimiza jumuiya za kimataifa kutoa usaidizi unaohitajika ili kudhibiti mlipuko. Pia amelihimiza nchi kutoweka vikwazo vya usafiri kwa DRC, ili kuhakikisha msaada wa kiafya na kibinadamu unaweza kufikia kiwango kinachohitajika.Na katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili hii leo mtaalam wetu Onni Sigalla, Mhariri mwandamizi wa Baraza la Kiswahili la Taifa nchini Tanzania, BAKITA.

Every once in a while, we like to revisit a subject near and dear to our hearts, and Audrey has always had a place in both of ours. We've combined both parts of our 2019 coverage into this one mega episode. Audrey was born a child of privilege, but soon became a child of war; her entertainment career still brings joy to people all over the world (including us.) All of that makes her worthy of the title of "Icon" but her surprise actions during WWII, and her humanitarian work through UNICEF made her not only a true star, but also a shining example of the best of humanity.

In this episode of Walk Talk Listen, Maurice Bloem speaks with Caterina Tino, ACT Alliance's Representative to the United Nations. Growing up in Rome, Caterina was shaped by a family that lived their faith through service, a Scout movement that emphasized citizenship and responsibility, and an early encounter with the world of international development that sparked a lifelong calling. What followed was a journey marked by determination, unexpected turns, and more than a few setbacks along the way.   The conversation explores how values become action, the lessons learned from working in Kosovo during a period of reconstruction, the realities of building a career in international cooperation, and the role faith communities can play in addressing today's global challenges. Caterina also reflects on rejection, resilience, family, and why creating change often begins with small acts of service and solidarity.   Caterina is an international development professional with expertise in human rights, advocacy, and partnerships. Prior to joining ACT Alliance, she worked with UNICEF, UNFPA, and the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), and contributed to the global civil society campaign that helped secure adoption of the UN Arms Trade Treaty. Caterina holds a Master's degree in Human Rights and Conflict Management from the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, Italy.   Listener Engagement: Discover the songs picked by Caterina and other guests on our #walktalklisten here.

The Church's Expanding Global Identity & $25M UNICEF Donation The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has donated $25 million to UNICEF's Child Nutrition Fund (CNF), a global initiative aimed at preventing and treating childhood malnutrition. • Doubled Impact: Thanks to a matching challenge announced in 2025, the Church’s donation will generate an additional $25 million, bringing the total financial impact to $50 million. • Target & Scope: The contribution is part of an ongoing partnership with UNICEF that began in 2013. The funds will support nutritional programs for mothers and young children—specifically targeting areas like the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kenya, Nigeria, the Philippines, and Sierra Leone—with the broader goal of helping the fund reach 320 million women and children annually by 2030. The First Presidency Tours the New Humanitarian Center Ahead of Dedication This facility is part of the Church's effort to follow the second great commandment: “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” On Friday, May 22, 2026, the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints toured the Church's new Humanitarian Center in Salt Lake City, ahead of its upcoming dedication. Purpose: Built to support the commandment to “love thy neighbour,” the center serves a dual purpose: providing job training, language courses, and employment counseling to help individuals overcome employment barriers, while also preparing and distributing global humanitarian supplies. Public Open House: Runs from June 1 through July 23, 2026 (Monday–Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.). Visitors can participate in hands-on service, such as assembling kits or sorting clothes. Attendance: Visitors are encouraged to schedule a time via the Temple Square app or by calling 801-240-5954, though walk-ins are welcome. Harvard Global Flourishing Study Compares Latter-day Saints Internationally The recently released Harvard Global Human Flourishing Study, which surveyed over 200,000 people across 22 countries, reveals that religious service attendance is globally linked to higher levels of overall well-being—and Latter-day Saints are no exception. When analyzing the U.S. data, the study found that Latter-day Saints scored highly on the overall “flourishing index” (which measures happiness, health, meaning, character, relationships, and financial stability), while those with no religious affiliation scored the lowest. • Highest Church Attendance: Latter-day Saints reported the highest rate of weekly religious service attendance at 65%, outperforming Evangelicals (59%) and Pentecostals (53%). • Mental Health and Happiness: The group demonstrated remarkably low levels of depression (8.5%) compared to atheists and agnostics (19%). Additionally, 30% of Latter-day Saints reported being “highly happy,” which is roughly double the rate of those distant from faith. • Family and Spiritual Support: Latter-day Saints reported the highest rates of feeling loved by their mother (94%) and father (90%) while growing up. Furthermore, 89% reported finding immense strength and comfort from their religion. • The Challenge of Community Criticism: On the flip side, 11% of Latter-day Saints reported feeling that their religious community was critical of them. While this number is statistically identical to other high-expectation faiths (like Baptists and Evangelicals), the article notes it highlights an ongoing need for the culture to shift from judgment to Christlike love, a priority recently emphasized by Church leadership. Diplomatic Relations: Elder Bednar Meets With the President of Chile Elder David A. Bednar, of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, held an official meeting with Chilean President José Antonio Kast at the La Moneda Presidential Palace on Monday, May 18, 2026. • Core Topics: The discussion centered on strengthening families, supporting youth, protecting religious freedom, and fostering cooperation between governments and faith communities. • Church Initiatives: Elder Bednar highlighted several Church programs designed to help the rising generation develop faith, purpose, and practical skills. These included the For the Strength of Youth program, various youth service and leadership experiences, and the BYU–Pathway Worldwide educational program. Women Leaders Discuss Discipleship and Service at Annual Luncheon On Monday, May 11, 2026, roughly 200 current and former women leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gathered for their annual emeritus luncheon at the Church Office Building in Salt Lake City. The meeting brought together past and present general presidencies and advisory councils from the Primary, Young Women, and Relief Society organizations to discuss discipleship, service, and organizational updates. • Young Women Age-Group Names: Leaders discussed the spiritual meaning behind the newly introduced Young Women age-group names. Former Young Women General President Elaine S. Dalton praised the change, noting that the titles—Builders of Faith (ages 12–13), Messengers of Hope (ages 14–15), and Gatherers of Light (ages 16–17)—give young women a strong identity rooted directly in Jesus Christ. • Enduring Sisterhood: Attendees, including 93-year-old Joy Sansom (who served on the Young Women general board from 1961 to 1972), celebrated the lifelong bonds, shared memories, and enduring sense of community fostered by their years of joint church service.  Bishops and Youth: One-on-One Ministering Supports Better Relationships During a recent Instagram Live broadcast, the Young Men General Presidency addressed the common question of whether ward-level Young Men presidencies—discontinued in 2020—will ever return. Led by General President Timothy L. Farnes and his counselors, Brother David J. Wunderli and Brother Sean R. Dixon, the presidency clarified that the change is permanent and explained the spiritual and structural reasons behind keeping the responsibility on local bishoprics. Church Communications Releases Inside Look Video of Provo MTC With the rise in full-time missionary applications and the creation of more missions worldwide, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has produced a video offering prospective missionaries and their families an inside look at how missionaries are trained. The 21-minute video, titled “What It's Really Like at the Missionary Training Center,” was released on YouTube on May 17. short, fun, and heartfelt interviews with missionaries.

“Most of Africa is rural, and although urbanisation is taking root now, the systems that deliver financial services to women are still eluding them.” Leanna Byrne speaks to microfinance pioneer Dr Jennifer Riria about her life, career, and personal mission to improve the lives of women in some of Africa's poorest communities. Having started life in a poor, rural village in Kenya, Dr Riria worked her way up to develop and run one of the biggest microfinance institutions for women in Africa. Microfinance is a banking service providing small loans and more, to people with low income who might lack access to traditional banking. It's aimed at fostering self-sufficiency, financial education, and entrepreneurship in developing areas. Her focus is not limited to finance. She also draws on her experiences of teaching at university, and consulting for UNICEF, the UN children's aid agency, in order to progress women's development in education and leadership.
