In deze aflevering is er geen gast en geen strak draaiboek, maar wel genoeg om uitgebreid bij te praten. De kwalificatie van Fabian Hermans voor de Rogue Invitational vormt de aftrap van een gesprek over de grootste wedstrijden binnen de sport, de keuzes die atleten moeten maken en de vraag waar functional fitness naartoe beweegt.Daarnaast blikken Remco en Michel terug op het EK Functional Fitness (IF3) in Engeland, waar Nederlandse atleten opnieuw sterke resultaten neerzetten. Ook nemen ze de tweede Tour Stop van de World Fitness Project in Indiana onder de loep. Niet alleen de prestaties van Noor Bleeker en Linda Keesman komen aan bod, maar ook de discussie over programmering, kijkbaarheid, publiek, live-uitzendingen en de balans tussen een goede test en een aantrekkelijke sportbeleving.Verder gaat het over dopingcontroles binnen functional fitness, de rol van Rogue en WFP binnen het competitieve landschap, opvallende workouts, blessures en de toekomst van de sport.Een open gesprek over ambitie, innovatie, groei en de voortdurende zoektocht naar wat functional fitness nu eigenlijk wil zijn.

当最基本的粮食援助可能在几周后停止，生活在南苏丹难民营里的人们，接下来要靠什么活下去？ 2026 年 8 月，联合国世界粮食计划署与联合国难民署发出警告：由于人道主义援助资金严重不足，南苏丹超过 24 万名难民和寻求庇护者可能在数周内失去粮食援助，其中绝大多数是妇女和儿童。 本期节目，我们采访了正在世界粮食计划署（WFP）南苏丹国家办公室工作的王宏锐。不久前，他第一次前往位于南苏丹西北部阿维尔的难民营：在那里，他遇见了徒步六个月、带着四个孩子逃离苏丹的家庭；也遇见了一位为给孩子换粮食，不得不抵押 WFP 援助卡的母亲；还有一个因未达到严重营养不良的认定标准、无法领取营养物资的孩子。他撸起袖子，露出细瘦的胳膊，平静地对宏锐说：「我很饿，我没有食物。」 当全球多场人道主义危机争夺着日益有限的援助资金，当已经降至最低限度的救济仍可能随时中断，一个身处其中的援助工作者，如何面对眼前具体的饥饿与自己的无力？他又该如何理解这份工作的意义？ 一起来听听宏锐从南苏丹带来的讲述。 本期人物 王宏锐，世界粮食计划署南苏丹办公室伙伴关系官员 徐涛，声动活泼联合创始人 主要话题 [01:52] 从 WFP 罗马总部到南苏丹：希望离受援者更近一些 [08:39] 辗转六个小时，第一次走进南苏丹的难民营 [16:17] 抵押援助卡的母亲，以及一位援助工作者的无力 [20:20] 从楼房到难民营：一位苏丹母亲的逃难经历 [28:16] 物资援助已完全停止，现金援助比例不断削减 [37:53]一位中国援助工作者如何理解援助工作的意义 延伸解读 [11:54]在树下休息的新难民妈妈和靠吃盐补充电解质的孩子 [26:37]在南苏丹难民营的小女孩用王宏锐的手机自拍 王宏锐与孩子们的合影 [28:59]营养不良的测量方法：工作人员会用一条带有刻度和不同颜色的纸带（上臂中围测量带），测量孩子的上臂中围。测量时，要把纸带绕在肩膀和手肘之间的上臂中点。对于 6 个月到 5 岁的儿童，如果上臂围低于 11.5 厘米，就意味着孩子可能处于严重急性营养不良状态，需要接受进一步评估和治疗。 联合国世界粮食计划署中国国家办公室官网 WFP South Sudan官网 WFP South Sudan X主页 WFP 南苏丹捐款链接（IP需在境外） 节目中提到的 WFP 校餐计划：如何用一顿饭改变孩子的未来？ 当饥饿成为武器：世界粮食计划署代理执行干事卡尔·斯考呼吁安理会采取切实行动 世界粮食计划署、联合国难民署联合新闻稿:资金告罄，南苏丹难民面临极端饥饿 也可以在小红书账号「徐涛-声东击西」看到更多相关内容和幕后 给声东击西投稿 「声东击西」一直在寻找来自不同社会和群体的真实声音。我们曾经采访过为特朗普竞选生产 MAGA 帽子的中国制造商、记录过七位在美国大选中经历起伏的华人个体，也讲述了委内瑞拉青年的故事。 如果你也有一些特别的经历、观察或想法，不论是亲身体验的故事，还是你在某个行业、社区中的所见所闻，都欢迎你向我们投稿。 你的声音可能出现在未来的节目当中，我们非常期待你的分享！ 投稿入口 加入我们 声动活泼团队目前正在招聘内容监制、商业运营经理、商业发展经理和实习生，如果你也对播客行业的内容制作和商务运营感兴趣，欢迎投递！ 详情点击招聘入口：加入声动活泼（在招职位速览） 幕后制作 后期：赛德、翔宇、怡然 运营：George 设计：饭团 实习编辑：翔宇、怡然 商务合作 声动活泼商业化小队，点击链接可直达商务会客厅，也可发送邮件至 business@shengfm.cn 联系我们。 关于声动活泼 「用声音碰撞世界」，声动活泼致力于为人们提供源源不断的思考养料。 我们还有这些播客：声东击西、What's Next｜科技早知道、商业WHY酱、跳进兔子洞&跳进兔子洞第三季、吃喝玩乐了不起、不止金钱、泡腾 VC、反潮流俱乐部 欢迎在即刻、微博等社交媒体上与我们互动，搜索声动活泼即可找到我们。 也欢迎你写邮件和我们联系，邮箱地址是：ting@sheng.fm 获取更多和声动活泼有关的讯息，你也可以扫码添加声小音，在节目之外和我们保持联系！ Special Guest: 王宏锐.

Zaidi ya wakimbizi na waomba hifadhi 650,000 nchini Sudan Kusini wako katika hatari ya kupoteza msaada muhimu wa chakula na lishe kutokana na ukosefu mkubwa wa fedha, Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Mpango wa Chakula Duniani, WFP, na lile linalohusika na masuala ya wakimbizi UNHCR zimeonya. Kupunguzwa kwa msaada kunaweza kuwaathiri wakimbizi 240,000 ndani ya wiki chache, wakati nchi hiyo yenyewe ikikabiliwa na ongezeko la tatizo la njaa. Feissal Kirwa na taariifa zaidi(TAARIFA YA FEISSAL KIRWA)Nattss…..Katika makazi ya wakimbizi ya Wedweil nchini Sudan Kusini, akina mama na watoto wanasubiri msaada wa chakula na lishe ambao wengi wanategemea ili kuendelea kuishi.Zaidi ya watu milioni 7.8 nchini Sudan Kusini ambani zaidi ya nusu ya idadi ya watu wote wanakabiliwa na uhaba mkubwa wa chakula, huku watoto milioni 2.2 wakikabiliwa na unyafuzi.Sasa, mashirika ya misaada ya Umoja wa Mataifa yanaonya kuwa wakimbizi wanaofika nchini humo wakiwa tayari na utapiamlo mkubwa wanaweza kukabiliwa na hali mbaya zaidi iwapo ufadhili utaisha.Katika vituo vya lishe, watoto hupimwa uzito na urefu huku wahudumu wa afya wakifuatilia hali yao, wakati akina mama wakipewa chakula cha ziada kwa ajili ya watoto wao. Naibu Mkuruengenzi wa WFP nchini Sudan Kusini ni Adham Effendi,(SAUTI YA ADHAM EFFENDI- RASHID)“Bila ufadhili wa haraka, msaada kwa zaidi ya wakimbizi 650,000 utapunguzwa, na hivyo kuweka maisha na mustakabali wao hatarini. Hii inaweza kumaanisha mgao mdogo wa chakula na kupunguzwa kwa msaada wa lishe kwa watoto na akina mama.”Kwa wakimbizi wengi wapya, msaada huanza mara tu wanapowasili Sudan Kusini. Biskuti zenye virutubisho na za kutia nguvu hutolewa kwa watu ambao huenda hawana sehemu za kupikia au maji safi.Lakini wimbi la watu wanaokimbia migogoro linaendelea kuongezeka.Idadi ya wakimbizi na watu wanaorejea nchini humo takrivab 3,000 wanafika Sudan Kusini kutoka Sudan kila wiki, na kuongeza shinikizo kwa jamii na huduma ambazo tayari zimeelemewa. Adham anaongeza(SAUTI YA ADHAM EFFENDI 2- RASHID)“Msaada wa chakula mara nyingi ndio tofauti kati ya kukabiliana na hali ngumu na janga. Pamoja na washirika wetu UNHCR na wengine, WFP inawasaidia wakimbizi na jamii zinazowapokea. Lakini mahitaji yanaongezeka kwa kasi zaidi kuliko rasilimali zilizopo.”Baadhi ya familia sasa zimejikuta zikilala chini ya miti baada ya kukimbia Sudan.Miongoni mwao ni Saleh, anayepika chakula cha mchana huku mke wake akimtunza mtoto wao wa miezi sita.Wengine, kama Esraa, wameishi katika makazi hayo ya wakimbizi kwa miaka kadhaa. Msaada wa fedha kutoka WFP umemsaidia kununulia familia yake chakula na kuendesha biashara yake ndogo.Lakini msaada huo muhimu sasa uko hatarini kutoweka.WFP na UNHCR zinasema uhaba wa fedha unaweza kulazimisha kupunguzwa kwa mipango ya chakula na lishe kwa mamia ya maelfu ya wakimbizi na waomba hifadhi.Mashirika hayo yanaonya kuwa kupungua kwa msaada kunaweza kusababisha ongezeko la utapiamlo miongoni mwa watoto, huku wanawake na watoto wakikabiliwa na hatari kubwa zaidi ya kukatili na kudhulumiwa.Huku njaa ikiwa tayari imeenea nchini Sudan Kusini na wakimbizi wapya wakiwasili kila wiki, mashirika ya misaada ya Umoja wa Mataifa yanatoa wito wa ufadhili wa haraka ili kuzuia hali kuzorota zaidi na kulinda familia zilizo katika mazingira hatarishi dhidi ya njaa kali na utapiamlo.

Ralph speaks to Baroness Beeban Kidron, a member of the UK House of Lords and a leading voice on children's rights in the digital environment, whose book is “Users: How Big Tech Took Control and How to Fight Back.” Then we welcome back whistleblower Becky McClain a biotech scientist injured in an unsafe lab and author of “Exposed: A Pfizer Scientist Battles Corruption, Lies, and Betrayal, and Becomes a Biohazard Whistleblower.”Baroness Beeban Kidron is a member of the UK's House of Lords and a former film director. She is a leading voice on children's rights in the digital environment and a global authority on digital regulation. She has played a central role in establishing standards for online safety and privacy across the world. She is the author of Users: How Big Tech Took Control and How to Fight Back.The things that children experience online are deliberately designed to distract them. Now, they are there to distract them because those companies want the attention so they can advertise. They want their data so that they can perfect their commercial terms,their product. And they even want their attention to compete against the other people who are competing for their attention. So here we have an absolute arms race for a child's attention.Baroness Beeban KidronI do want to say very clearly to anyone listening: This is a battle you shouldn't be fighting on your own. And there is a responsibility for politicians—for both local politicians and federal politicians (national in our case, here in the UK) —to actually put these companies under the same sort of strictures that all other corporate companies do… One of the things I'm looking at is whether we can recategorize apps as products. And then they'll have all the product liability, the product safety, consumer rights—all the things that we expect of everything else in our life from our food to our cars to our toys. That they would actually have to think before they roll them out: Are they safe? And when they've proven unsafe, we would have a very clear set of legal approaches to address that.Baroness Beeban KidronBecky McClain is a retired biotech worker and research scientist. She is known as the first successful biotech whistleblower who spoke and reported on biolab safety issues of public concern. On April 1, 2010, Ms. McClain won a federal court whistleblower trial against Pfizer, Inc., which centered on free speech rights concerning biosafety and public health. She is the author of Exposed: A Pfizer Scientist Battles Corruption, Lies, and Betrayal, and Becomes a Biohazard Whistleblower.The public wants transparency to ensure that biolabs are run ethically, safely, responsibly, and with accountability. Transparency into these matters builds public trust with science and with government. But without free-speech protections for scientists and also medical physicians, transparency fails, accountability is dismissed, and the public trust hits rock bottom.Becky McClainNews 8/14/26* This week, a new round of primaries was held in the upper midwest and New England. The biggest shock of the night was the defeat of Francesca Hong in the Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial primary. Hong, a Wisconsin State Assemblywoman and member of Madison DSA, went into election night leading in the polls and while she won an astonishing 311,000 votes, her opponent – Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, with the endorsement of sitting Democratic Governor Tony Evers – maintained a lead of approximately one-half of one percentage point throughout the night. As the final margin will be under 1 percent, Hong is entitled to request a recount, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, but WKOW reports she has conceded the race. Hong was seen as the best chance for the insurgent, DSA-aligned left to capture a gubernatorial nomination this cycle, particularly in a crucial swing state, but her campaign was dogged by electability concerns and unpopular past statements made by the candidate. Crowley will face Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany, who cruised to an easy victory in the GOP gubernatorial primary, in November.* The Minnesota primaries delivered more encouraging results for the left. In the high-profile Senate primary to replace retiring Senator Tina Smith, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan emerged victorious over her opponent, Congresswoman Angie Craig. Flanagan was backed by a broad, progressive coalition – including Senators Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Ed Markey, and outgoing Senator Tina Smith herself – while Craig was backed by more centrist Democrats like House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and ultrazionist Democratic Congressman Josh Gottheimer. If elected, Flanagan, a citizen of the White Earth Nation, would be the first Native American woman to serve in the U.S. Senate, per the Minnesota Reformer. Flanagan has also gone on record saying that Chuck Schumer, who would be poised to lead the Senate Democrats as Majority Leader if the party retakes that chamber, needs to be replaced with a “progressive champion” though she has not gone as far as Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan who explicitly called for Schumer to be replaced by Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen, as reported by Semafor.* In more Minnesota news, Congresswoman Craig's decision to vacate her old seat in the state's second congressional district “created a crowded primary for her seat,” according to the Minnesota Star Tribune. On Tuesday, progressive candidate Matt Little triumphed. Little is a strong proponent of Medicare for All and does not blanch at describing Israel's campaign in Gaza as a genocide. Little overwhelmingly won the endorsement of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party and of congressional progressives like Reps. Pramila Jayapal and Greg Casar, as well as the Progressive Caucus PAC. If Little wins in what the Star Tribune describes as a swing district historically, it will send a strong signal that progressives can win even in tough districts.* In New England, the results tell a somewhat different story. Specifically, in Connecticut's first congressional district, 14-term incumbent Congressman John Larson lost his primary to former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin, over 30 years Larson's junior, by over 20 points. However, Bronin is far from a progressive challenger. Whereas Larson enjoyed the backing of the Working Families Party and Congressman Jamie Raskin – though he also had the backing of AIPAC – Bronin's only major national endorsement was from former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. In short, this would best be described as a non-ideological, but rather age-based primary challenge. This will surely set off major alarm bells for another aged incumbent in New England facing a much younger primary challenger: Senator Ed Markey of Massachusetts. Additionally, as Ryan Grim notes, “John Larson was/is the champion of the bill to expand Social Security, which was up to…200+ cosponsors but [former Speaker Nancy] Pelosi would never allow it to get to the floor. There's now an extremely popular bill that could actually pass that needs a lead sponsor.”* Another recent primary loss is worth examining: that of Kshama Sawant in Seattle. Sawant, a former Seattle City Councilmember aligned with the Trotskyist Socialist Alternative party, resigned her council seat and sought to unseat her local Democratic Congressman Adam Smith, running as an independent in Washington's ninth congressional district. The state of Washington has a top two primary system, so Sawant would have only had to get the second most votes to secure a head-to-head matchup against Smith in November. Yet, instead Sawant finished a distant third behind Smith and the Republican candidate Doug Basler. Perhaps that doesn't seem surprising – independent and third party candidates are often outspent by huge margins. Yet, the facts belie that explanation. In fact, a new piece on the Joe Wrote substack finds that “Sawant's campaign wasn't the rag-tag, bootstrapped operation that we typically see from insurgent socialists. Sawant reported $607,493 in campaign spending, meaning she outspent Republican Doug Basler by over six-to-one and still lost to him.” Wrote goes on to state that “The Sawant campaign spent $25.33 per vote, the highest for any candidate in the race…The only registered PAC that spent on the race was Sawant's Revolutionary Change PAC, which raised $5,600 through ActBlue and spent it on billboards.” If nothing else, this test case demonstrates that money is not enough for the left to break through the two-party duopoly. A candidate also needs institutional, organizational support – like that of DSA – and, perhaps most importantly, broadbase solidarity with the other component parts of the movement. Going it alone simply will not get the job done.* In more independent and third party news, we have an update to a previous story about the race for Congress in Pennsylvania's seventh congressional district. Last week, we discussed Andrew Tupone, a candidate running in this race on the Green Party ballot line, despite the GP of Pennsylvania distancing themselves from him – and spokesman Chris Robinson even calling him a “a nice Republican.” According to Lehigh Valley Public Media, the Green Party is now going a step further, formally requesting the Pennsylvania courts “either kick Tupone off the ballot or require him to identify himself as a member of another party.” In their petition to the court, the Green Party argues that “Candidate Tupone and his agents or affiliates who circulated his nomination papers misled voters into signing the nomination papers on the mistaken belief that they were helping to place a candidate supported by the Green Party onto the ballot.” This piece also notes that three Lehigh Valley residents are challenging the petitions Tupone presented to get on the ballot, arguing that technical errors would disqualify thousands of these signatures. For his part, Tupone “has denied having any ulterior motive to enter the race or accepting financial assistance from any outside groups.”* At the same time, in Nebraska, it seems there are two, dueling faux third parties seeking to siphon off votes from the other side. The Nebraska Examiner reports that both the “Nebraska Democratic Party and the national Working Families Party have sued Nebraska's Working People Party to block it from the fall ballot.” The Democrats and WFP are seeking to block Nebraska Secretary of State Bob Evnen from officially recognizing the party, and to “declare that the party's name is breaking state law because it is meant to confuse voters.” Apparently, Nebraska election law includes a provision allowing the secretary of state to “reject a candidate's filing if…that someone is not a ‘good-faith candidate' or is trying to cause confusion for voters,” and that “objections to party names can be considered.” The kicker is that last week, the Nebraska Republican Party filed a lawsuit alleging that the “America First Party” is a similarly bad-faith attempt to confuse and deceive voters and thereby undercut the fortunes of Nebraska Republicans. A Nebraska judge has issued an emergency injunction stopping certification of both the Nebraska Working People Party and America First Party through August 20th.* Turning to local news, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass appears to be moving against Councilmember Nithya Raman, her Democratic rival for the mayoralty in the general election. LAist reports that while Raman has chaired the Council's powerful Housing and Homeless Committee since 2023, Bass' close ally, Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson is “planning to announce…that the city will split the committee into two parts — one on housing, the other on homelessness — neither of which will be led by Raman.” In a campaign video, Raman alleged that the move constituted political retaliation, saying “I called for an audit of our homelessness programs…and now I've been removed…I might be getting punished for running against Mayor Bass, but Angelenos are the ones paying the price for these political games.” Mayor Bass and Councilmember Raman finished first and second respectively in the June primary, meaning they will face off in November with no Republican on the ballot.* In New York, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced this week that he will throw his weight behind a new bill in the city council seeking to curb Amazon's practice of utilizing subcontractors instead of directly employing delivery workers. The Wall Street Journal explains that although these subcontractors “aren't direct employees of…Amazon [or other companies], they often wear branded uniforms or vests and drive corporate-branded vans or trucks,” but are not entitled to the same workplace protections and are excluded from collective bargaining. In a statement, Mamdani highlighted how “Corporations like Amazon build billion-dollar business models by insulating themselves from accountability through a system of exploitative subcontracting.” The Journal reports the bill would also “require warehouse operators to obtain licenses from the city,” and in order to get a license, ”operators would have to adhere to new safety, training and employment requirements, including hiring thousands of the city's contract couriers.” In response, Amazon is, as usual, threatening to move its business out of the city, but also deploying its secret, New York-specific weapon: their chief lobbyist, Jessica Schumer, daughter of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, according to the American Prospect. This sets up a major clash between an array of titanic forces in New York politics and whether or not Mayor Mamdani emerges triumphant will be a huge test of his political clout.* Finally, AP reports the parliament of Lebanon voted this week to abolish the death penalty, making it the first nation in the Arab world to do so. This piece notes that the country has maintained an unofficial moratorium on capital punishment for over 20 years; while death sentences have been issued since then, they have all been suspended or commuted. The official sentence of capital punishment will be replaced with “life imprisonment with aggravated hard labor,” a somewhat vague legal concept that will have to be defined and refined as time goes on. AP adds that this vote comes amidst the Lebanese parliamentary debate over a proposed general amnesty law, that could “reduce sentences or even release convicted militants,” from the country's various civil wars, as well as others convicted of drug-related crimes. The parliamentary bloc of Hezbollah voted against the law. Lebanon banning capital punishment stands in stark contrast to the Israeli Knesset, which voted in May to adopt a new death penalty statute described by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights as perpetuating “racial discrimination against Palestinians” and amounting to “a grave erosion of human rights.”This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In case You Haven't Heard.

VOV1 - Từ những cánh đồng khoai tây khô héo ở Hà Lan đến các ruộng lúa thiếu nước ở Thái Lan, thời tiết cực đoan đang gây sức ép ngày càng lớn lên sản xuất nông nghiệp toàn cầu. Hạn hán và nắng nóng không còn là những cú sốc cục bộ theo mùa, mà đang đồng thời xuất hiện tại nhiều vùng sản xuất,Hạn hán nghiêm trọng đang làm suy giảm năng suất nhiều loại cây trồng. Tại Hà Lan, khoai tây phải thu hoạch sớm, trong khi kích thước củ nhỏ hơn do thiếu nước. Tại Bosnia, năng suất ngô ở một số trang trại được dự báo chỉ còn 1,5-2 tấn/ha, so với 6-7 tấn trong những năm bình thường. Tại Romania, mực nước sông Danube xuống thấp gây khó khăn cho vận chuyển ngũ cốc, trong khi những đồng cỏ khô cằn tại Hungary buộc các trang trại chăn nuôi phải tăng chi phí mua thức ăn.Ngân hàng Hà Lan Triodos ước tính các đợt nắng nóng và hạn hán có thể khiến GDP của Liên minh châu Âu giảm khoảng 1% trong năm 2026, tương đương khoảng 180 tỷ euro. Tuy nhiên, tác động đáng lo ngại hơn là nguy cơ cú sốc nguồn cung lan sang giá lương thực. Chuyên gia kinh tế cao cấp Péter Virovácz nhận định: “Khi chúng ta phải đối mặt với năng suất thấp hơn, sản lượng thực phẩm chưa qua chế biến giảm, rõ ràng điều này sẽ làm giá cả tăng cao. Và cuối cùng, người tiêu dùng sẽ phải đối mặt với một số hình thức tăng giá".Nhưng châu Âu chỉ là một phần của bức tranh lớn hơn. Tại châu Á, mối lo ngại tập trung vào diễn biến của El Niño, hiện tượng có thể làm thay đổi mô hình mưa trên diện rộng. Thái Lan, một trong những nước xuất khẩu gạo lớn của thế giới, đang chuẩn bị cho nguy cơ mùa vụ bị ảnh hưởng bởi khô hạn kéo dài. Cơ quan hoạch định kinh tế của Thái Lan cảnh báo El Niño có thể làm giảm năng suất lúa, sắn, mía và ngô trong nửa cuối năm 2026, đồng thời làm tăng chi phí sản xuất và gây sức ép lên thu nhập của nông dân. Nông dân trồng lúa Pairach Sengchareon cho biết: “Tháng 7, chúng tôi chỉ có 5 mm mưa, còn tháng 8 hầu như không có mưa. Như vậy, chỉ trong hai tháng, lượng mưa đã thiếu hụt khoảng 180 mm. Tình trạng thiếu hụt này thực tế đã kéo dài từ mùa đông và năm ngoái và giờ đang ngày càng nghiêm trọng hơn.”Trước nguy cơ hạn hán kéo dài, các nhà khoa học Thái Lan đang tìm cách giảm mức độ phụ thuộc của cây lúa vào nguồn nước. Tiến sĩ Siwaret Arikit, Giám đốc Trung tâm Khoa học Lúa gạo tại Đại học Kasetsart cho biết:“Nếu hiện tượng Siêu El Niño diễn biến nghiêm trọng như dự báo, chắc chắn sẽ tác động đến an ninh lương thực. Chúng tôi đã nghiên cứu giống lúa tiết kiệm nước trong gần 10 năm. Giống lúa này có thể sử dụng ít hơn 20-30% lượng nước so với các giống lúa thông thường.”Nhưng những giải pháp thích ứng cần thời gian, trong khi thời tiết cực đoan có thể gây thiệt hại ngay trong một mùa vụ. Chương trình Lương thực Thế giới (WFP) cảnh báo El Niño trong giai đoạn 2026-2027 có thể khiến thêm ít nhất 49 triệu người rơi vào tình trạng mất an ninh lương thực nghiêm trọng tại những khu vực dễ bị tổn thương.Với thị trường lương thực, nguy cơ không nhất thiết là thiếu hụt trên quy mô toàn cầu ngay lập tức. Điều đáng lo hơn là nhiều cú sốc có thể xảy ra đồng thời: sản lượng giảm tại một số vùng, nhu cầu nhập khẩu tăng, trong khi chi phí phân bón, năng lượng và vận tải vẫn ở mức cao.Thế giới hiện vẫn có những “lớp đệm” có thể giảm bớt cú sốc, như dự trữ ngũ cốc, năng suất cây trồng được cải thiện, các giống chịu hạn, công nghệ tưới tiêu và sự đa dạng hóa nguồn cung. Tuy nhiên, những “lớp đệm” này không thể loại bỏ hoàn toàn rủi ro nếu nhiều vùng sản xuất cùng chịu tác động./.Thu Hoài/VOV1Hạn hán kéo dài đe doạ “các vựa lương thực” của thế giới

Kwa ujumla anaangazia masuala ya usaidizi wa kibinadamu, amani na usalama pamoja na afya.Muhtasari wa habari:Utapiamlo mkali nchini Afghanistan umefikia viwango vya kutisha, huku majimbo 12 yakirekodi kiwango cha juu zaidi kuwahi kushuhudiwa cha utapiamlo miongoni mwa watoto wakati huu watu milioni 14 wakikabiliwa na njaa kali, imesema WFP.Mjumbe Maalum wa Shirikisho la Kimataifa la Vyama vya Msalaba Mwekundu na Hilali Nyekundu (IFRC) kwa ajili ya Sudan, Derk Segaar, leo amewaeleza waandishi wa habari jijini Geneva Uswisi kwamba wiki iliyopita alisafiri kwa njia ya Barabara nchini Sudan na kwamba ingawa macho ya dunia yameelekezwa zaidi katika maeneo ya Darfur na Kordofan, athari za vita zinaendelea kote nchini Sudan ambayo ni miongoni mwa nchi zinazokabiliwa na migogoro mikubwa zaidi ya kibinadamu duniani, lakini pia ni miongoni mwa migogoro inayopuuzwa zaidi.Na Umoja wa Mataifa na wadau wake wanaendelea kuisaidia Rwanda kujiandaa dhidi ya Ebola. Hatua hizo zinajumuisha ufuatiliaji katika vituo vya afya, jamii na mipakani, huku zaidi ya wahudumu 100 wakipelekwa kwenye vituo vya kuingilia nchini. Pia, wahudumu karibu 400 wanapatiwa mafunzo ya utambuzi wa mapema.Mada kwa kina:Na sasa ni wasaa wa mada kwa kina inayotupeleka nchini Afrika Kusini, ambako dawa mpya ya kujikinga na Virusi Vya Ukimwi, VVU, iitwayo Lenacapavir, imeanza kutolewa kama sehemu ya jitihada dhidi ya maambukizi mapya, hasa miongoni mwa vijana walio katika hatari kubwa zaidi.Kwa mara ya kwanza, mtu anaweza kujikinga na VVU, kwa kudungwa sindano moja tu kila baada ya miezi sita, bila kumeza kidonge kila siku. Lenacapavir imeonesha ufanisi wa zaidi ya asilimia 96 katika kuzuia maambukizi, na sasa imeanza kutolewa katika nchi tisa barani Afrika, ikiwemo Afrika Kusini, nchi yenye idadi kubwa zaidi duniani ya watu wanaoishi na VVU.

With humanitarian needs surging and resources increasingly scarce, how does the World Food Programme decide where to cut assistance? Our guest today is Carl Skau, acting executive director of the World Food Programme. We begin by discussing how renewed fighting between the United States and Iran—and the resulting closure of the Strait of Hormuz and a key Red Sea transit corridor—is driving up food prices and worsening food insecurity around the world. Carl Skau also responds to Israeli criticism of a recent food-security report on Gaza, explains the operational challenges facing the WFP in Afghanistan and Sudan, and discusses why, on top of everything else, the organization is bracing for the possible arrival of a powerful El Niño.

Hii leo tunakuletea mada kwa kina. Mlipuko wa sasa wa ebola ya virusi vya Bundibugyo uliotangazwa rasmi huko DRC mwezi Mei mwaka huu unazidi kuongezeka kwa kasi isiyo ya kawaida, wamesema maafisa waandamizi wa Umoja wa Mataifa wakizungumza na waandishi wa habari Karl Skau, Kaimu Mkuu wa WFP, na ndio tunakupeleka nchini humo kufuatilia juhudi za kuudhibiti.Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa António Guterres amesema ni wakati wa dunia kuungana kukabiliana na biashara haramu ya usafirishaji wa watu, hususan aina mpya inayokua kwa kasi ya kulazimishwa kufanya utapeli kwa njia ya mtandao. Katika ujumbe wake wa kuadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya Kupambana na Biashara Haramu ya Usafirishaji wa Watu inayoadhimishwa kila mwaka tarehe thelathini Julai, amesema wahalifu wanawavutia watu kwa ahadi za ajira nzuri, lakini baadaye wanawafanya mateka na kuwalazimisha kuendesha utapeli mtandaoni. Guterres amezitaka nchi kuridhia Mkataba wa Umoja wa Mataifa wa Kupambana na Uhalifu wa Mtandao uliopitishwa mwaka 2024, kushirikiana kuvunja mitandao ya uhalifu na kuwasaidia manusura kurejea katika maisha yao ya kawaida.Nchini Ukraine, mashambulizi makubwa ya usiku yaliyojumuisha makombora na mamia ya ndege zisizo na rubani yamesababisha vifo na majeruhi katika maeneo kadhaa ya makazi, yakiwemo miji ya Kryvyi Rih, Kyiv na Lviv. Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Kuratibu Masuala ya Kibinadamu, OCHA, imesema nyumba na shule za awali zimeharibiwa huku watoto wakiwa miongoni mwa waliouawa na kujeruhiwa. Kwa upande wa Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia Watoto, UNICEF, limesema watoto watatu wameuawa na wengine kadhaa kujeruhiwa, huku likiendelea kutoa msaada wa dharura wa kisaikolojia na usaidizi wa kifedha kwa familia zilizoathirika.Na Kamishna Mkuu wa Haki za Kibinadamu wa Umoja wa Mataifa, Volker Türk, amelaani hatua za serikali ya Uganda zinazodaiwa kuendelea kubana uhuru wa msingi na kuzima sauti za wanaokosoa serikali. Amesema tangu uchaguzi mkuu wa Januari mwaka huu, viongozi wa upinzani, wanaharakati wa haki za binadamu na waandishi wa habari wamekumbwa na vitendo vya kutoweshwa, kukamatwa kiholela na mateso. Kupitia taarifa iliyotolewa leo na ofisi ya Bwana Türk ni kwamba ofisi hiyo imepokea taarifa zinazoonesha kuongezeka kwa ushiriki wa jeshi katika kutekeleza majukumu ambayo kwa kawaida hufanywa na taasisi za kiraia. Aidha, baadhi ya vyombo vya habari vimelazimika kusitisha shughuli zake kwa muda.Katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili, na leo tunamkaribisha Ntahombaye Hussein, Mwenyekiti wa Chama cha Wanahabari wa Kiswahili nchini Burundi, CHAWARUNDI.

Na baada ya hapo, nitawalishaje ilhali sina njia yoyote ya kufanya hivyo?”.Ripoti ya mwaka huu wa 2026 kuhusu dawa za kulevya na uhalifu imeonya kuhusu ongezeko la dawa mpya za kutengenezwa maabara huku maendeleo ya teknolojia yakiwezesha wasafirishaji kukwepa kubainika. Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa Ofisi ya Umoja wa Mataifa ya Kudhibiti Dawa za Kulevya na Uhalifu, (UNODC) Monica Juma, amesema dunia inashuhudia ongezeko ambalo halijawahi kutokea la aina mpya za dawa za kulevya, huku baadhi zikiwa na nguvu na hatari zaidi kuliko zilizokuwepo awali.Na katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili, tunasalia huko huko Nairobi Kenya kwani leo mchambuzi wetu ni Dkt.

Ralph speaks to independent investigative journalist Lylla Younes to discuss her reporting on Israel's assault on southern Lebanon. Then, Ralph and media studies professor Robin Andersen discuss her new book "The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of the Genocide in Gaza."Lylla Younes is a Beirut-based journalist. She is an editor at The Public Source, and a frequent contributor to Drop Site News.What we've seen in the past several days is really an escalation of what's been happening since March 2nd (when the US-Israeli assault on Iran took off) and then obviously the ceasefire… What we see is a campaign of ethnic cleansing from the Israeli military in Lebanon. And that has looked like the Gaza playbook sped up, you could say, in southern Lebanon. It's looked like invading and bulldozing homes; tearing up roads; destroying, booby-trapping, and detonating entire villages and cultural sites. It's looked like targeting medical personnel—killing, at this point, over 100 since March 2nd (this is in addition to the 130 or so who were killed in the last round of fighting in 2024). In addition to that, the targeting and killing of journalists who are reporting near the border. I think it's important to note there's practically no one left in the border region. Having a press vest on and a microphone and a camera is basically like having a target on your back at this point.Lylla YounesThe pager attack was, I think it's fair to say, one of the darker days of Lebanese history. I think regardless of people's feelings about Hezbollah, the fact that you are setting men alight literally in the streets in cities all across the country, killing children, maiming children—the mark of the pager attack was that these pagers that Hezbollah members were carrying exploded in their faces and blinded them. So you have thousands of blinded people, people missing fingers. And again, some of these are relatives of Hezbollah members. It was a massive event that overwhelmed hospitals across the country. And it also marked the beginning of that 66 day [period] of escalated fighting. And it showed how deeply infiltrated Hezbollah was in an intelligence capacity. This was quite a feat by the Israeli Mossad.Lylla YounesRobin Andersen is professor emerita of media studies at Fordham University and an award-winning author of a dozen single- and co-authored books. She serves as a Project Censored Judge, and contributes to the annual State of the Free Press. She is on the Board of Directors of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), where she also writes regularly, and is an Izzy Award Judge for the Park Center for Independent Media. Her latest book is The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of Israel's Genocide in Gaza.In my book, I look at the directives of the New York Times and CNN, and then I compare it to media coverage. And I found that, in fact, these were the ways [the directives that were passed down] in which the media was presenting the genocide in Gaza…But in terms of the Israeli directives, CNN was putting their copy through their Jerusalem bureau and the IDF was looking at it. The New York Times was simply going along with Israeli talking points. So we did find that. And the real telling part was when they finally did say that Israel dropped the bomb, it was only when Israel had admitted—or put their propaganda to the next level, which was to claim that they had killed a Hamas commander or a fighter or somebody involved in Hamas. And we found that also in the BBC. So those were direct things that came from Israel. And abandoning their journalistic mission, the US media was basically following the dictates of a foreign government.Robin AndersenTheir form of censorship was basically murder. They knew that as the genocide wore on (and Israel controlled the narrative for a very long time, and then it started to collapse) as over time we saw on the internet, we saw on our handheld devices the documentation of what was happening [they'd lose control of the narrative]. And so in a total propaganda environment, what we have to have is no noise, no opposition, no alternative information. And Israel really was trying to achieve a total propaganda environment. It wasn't enough that they had establishment in legacy media and those media were allowing outside influences to direct their editorial decisions. That wasn't quite enough.Robin AndersenNews 5/29/26* This week, Democratic Socialist Mayor of New York City Zohran Mamdani unveiled his plan to construct 200,000 new rent-stabilized homes in the city over the next decade, PIX 11 reports, making good on a campaign promise that many supposedly savvy political observers doubted. In addition to the new construction, Mamdani vowed to “preserve and stabilize” an additional 200,000 via New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) repairs, increased housing code enforcement, and a special focus on development in the Bronx. In his announcement, Mamdani said “We are the largest city in the nation. We have the resources, the talent, and the will to achieve this.”* In the federal government, one of the most controversial members of the Trump administration – former Democratic Congresswoman and presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard – has resigned her position as Director of National Intelligence (DNI). The BBC reports Gabbard is citing her husband's recent bone cancer diagnosis as the reason for her departure, but also notes that Gabbard “has largely been out of public view even as the US took military action against Iran, put pressure on Cuba, and…removed Venezuela's president.” In theory, these would all require a substantial degree of participation from and coordination with the DNI, but Gabbard seemed pointedly out of the loop. The actions of the administration have also been diametrically opposed to Gabbard's past foreign policy positions, defined by her 2020 slogan “no more regime change wars.” Others have noted that Gabbard now joins former Attorney General Pam Bondi, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem as high-profile women ousted from the Trump administration while glaringly incompetent men like Pete Hegseth remain in their posts.* Turning to Texas, this week saw a political bloodbath in the runoffs for the primaries held back in March. The topline of course is that scandal-plagued Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, backed by Trump, triumphed over powerful longtime incumbent Senator John Cornyn. With the backing of the president, Paxton wiped the floor with Cornyn, winning around two-thirds of the vote. Yet Paxton goes into the general election against James Talarico very weak. 35% of those polled “Disapprove Strongly” of Paxton with only 15% saying they “Strongly Approve” according to the Texas Politics Project and even the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) condemned Paxton's “lies” “incompetence” personal scandals and corruption in now-deleted press releases. Further down the ballot, incumbent Democratic Members of Congress Al Green and Julie Johnson have been defeated in their primary run-offs, after being forced into Member-on-Member races by the Texas redistricting scheme.* Meanwhile in Michigan, NOTUS reports the Working Families Party (WFP) has endorsed progressive Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed. This primary campaign, with El-Sayed running against moderate Congresswoman Haley Stevens and liberal state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, has become a bruising tripartite affair pitting the three major factions within the Democratic Party against one another. Recently, El-Sayed has taken the lead in this race, which WFP hopes to help consolidate, saying it is prepared to go “all in” on this race. WFP is feeling confident following their role in helping to ensure victory for Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania and Analilia Mejia in New Jersey.* In the Garden State, Senator Andy Kim was caught in a cloud of pepper spray this week as he joined protestors outside of a privately-run ICE detention facility, NJ.com reports. The protests began as a result of an ongoing hunger strike inside of the facility, which has led many high-profile New Jersey Democrats – including Governor Mikie Sherill and Congressman Robert Menendez Jr. in addition to Senator Kim – to call for the facility's closure. Following the confrontation, Kim stated that “What we saw here is unfortunately just what we see all over the country…It's sad…sad day.” At another point, Kim said “The cruelty that you see behind me, this is the point…Right now, I'm trying to have them not point guns at us.”* In another case of outrageous overreach by the Trump administration, Fox reports the Treasury Department has served subpoenas to CodePink activist Medea Benjamin and political streamer and influencer Hasan Piker seeking “financial, logistical and communications information” regarding their recent humanitarian voyage to Cuba. According to this story, the Treasury probe – handled through their Office of Foreign Assets Control – is primarily concerned with whether the convoy “violated U.S. sanctions laws through the financing, coordination or delivery of goods to Cuba, including potential contacts with Cuban government personnel or entities on the island.” The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has condemned the probe, writing that “Weaponizing the Treasury Department to target Americans for exercising their constitutional right to support human rights is unacceptable.” CAIR went on to call the investigation “performative and politically-motivated,” contending that “Every American who believes in the rule of law and human rights should stand in solidarity with Medea and demand that the Treasury Department drop its McCarthyite witch hunt.”* The Democrats meanwhile are once again conspiring against one another. The Bulwark reports the campaign to unseat Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin is back on – and now includes viable alternatives. Previously, discontent was mounting but there did not appear to be any other options. Presently though, the list circulating in Democratic circles consists of New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, former EMILY's List president Stephanie Schriock, former president of the Service Employees International Union Mary Kay Henry, former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julián Castro, former chair of the Michigan Democratic Party Lavora Barnes, and former Wisconsin party chair Ben Wikler. Wikler, who revitalized the Beaver State party and placed second against Martin in the DNC Chair election, has “rebuffed discussions about leading the DNC, saying he wants nothing to do with effort to remove Martin and isn't interested in replacing him.” Yet even with no obvious alternative, calls are mounting for Martin to step aside. This piece cites statements by progressive Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan, as well as a new initiative by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee on one side, alongside statements by more moderate Reps. Marc Veasey and Seth Moulton to the same effect. Still, many state parties and an equally ideologically diverse coalition is standing by Martin, so he will likely remain in place, at least for the time being.* Looking southward, this week Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that her country will host the Iranian team ahead of the FIFA World Cup. Per Al Jazeera, the United States, which is hosting many of the matches, including all three the Iranian team was scheduled to play in, expressed that they did not think it “appropriate” for Iranian team members to be in the country, “for their own life and safety.” FIFA approached Mexico as an alternative. In her daily press conference, Sheinbaum stated that “We have no reason to deny them the possibility of staying in Mexico.” The Iranian team has also announced they will be moving their training base from Tucson to Tijuana, but still plan to enter the United States to play their games – with Trump saying they will be “welcome,” despite the fact American authorities have yet to issue the necessary visas.* Our final two stories involve the Pope. First, AP reports that this week Pope Leo XIV made an historic apology not only for the Catholic Church's role in legitimizing slavery, but its failure to condemn the practice for centuries afterwards. Pope Leo called this a “wound in Christian memory.” Leo, the first American Pope, can point to both enslaved people and slave owners in his familial lineage, a remarkable vantage point from which to issue this statement in his first ever encyclical ”Magnifica Humanitas.”* Yet, for how historic this section of the encyclical is, it is not the portion of it that drew the most attention. That would be the section on Artificial Intelligence. Pope Leo writes “Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together.” Leo goes on to make the critical point that “technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise, finance, regulate, and use it.” He further goes on to state that “the pressure of new ideologies or certain highly powerful interests” can reduce the human person to “a resource to be used and exploited” or evaluated “on what they achieve or produce,” whereas God creates each individual person in His image and imbues them with inherent dignity. It is impossible to say whether the Pontiff's words will move the titans of the tech industry to change their ways, but his moving rhetoric is sure to significantly influence the world's view of AI, both today and for students of history.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
