The World Health Organisation has agreed a treaty looking at tackling the issue of future pandemics. It's hoped it will help to avoid some of the disorganisation and competition for resources like vaccines and personal protective equipment that were seen during the Covid-19 outbreak. Victoria Gill speaks to global health journalist Andrew Green from the World Health Assembly in Geneva to ask if this will help to make the world a safer, fairer place.Marnie Chesterton visits Kew Gardens in London to speak to some of the artists and scientists behind a new installation that's digitally recreated one of the site's most famous trees.As it's announced the iconic American children's TV programme Sesame Street is moving to Netflix, Victoria speaks to the programme's scientific advisor and Associate Professor of Elementary and Environmental Education at the University of Rhode Island, Sara Sweetman, about exactly how the likes of Elmo, Big Bird and the Cookie Monster go about informing young people about science.And Caroline Steel joins Victoria in the studio to look through the most fascinating highlights from the world's scientific discoveries this week.

In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the EU and national governments have recognised the need for greater policy infrastructure to support better preparation for future cross-border health security threats. Pandemics and epidemics remain significant threats to global public health and are inevitable. In 2022, the European Commission introduced a Regulation to develop a comprehensive prevention, preparedness and response plan at EU and member state levels.And in a major step forward, WHO Member States recently forged a draft agreement, to be discussed at the World Health Assembly in May, which aims to strengthen global collaboration on prevention, preparedness and response to future pandemic threats. EU Health Ministers argue they should have access to the 800 billion euros set aside for the EU's over-arching Union Preparedness Strategy saying, “without essential medicines, Europe's defence capabilities are compromised.”One growing health concern is the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which occurs when germs no longer respond to antimicrobial medicines. The emergence and spread of these drug-resistant infections are also accelerated by human activity, such as conflicts that lead to mass displacement of civilian populations.While the EU is taking steps to address potential health emergencies, including the acute threat of future virus pandemics as well as combatting the rise of the ‘slow pandemic' of AMR, health and policy experts argue that further cooperation, transparency and improved procedures are needed among member states.Against the backdrop of emerging public health issues, join this Euractiv Hybrid Conference to discuss the evolving EU policy landscape for health security to ensure Europe is prepared for new and emerging cross-border health threats. Questions to be addressed include:• How can the EU initiatives on cross-border health threats be effectively implemented to ensure effective impact at both EU and national levels?• What further measures can the EU and its member states take to ensure greater preparedness and response for future health security threats following the unprecedented damage done by COVID-19?• Given the rise of AMR, what policies should be prioritised at the EU level to coordinate research, surveillance, and stewardship efforts?• How can we ensure public-private working practices are successfully set up to face AMR?• In the current geo-political climate how important is it to have on-shore manufacturing for medical counter measures in Europe?

Taiwan's representative in Australia, Douglas Hsu, talks with a Grumpy Strategist about the World Health Assembly, now as a time to reinforce multilateral & international organisations, and paths to reverse Beijing's attempts to isolate & intimidate Taiwan. They do something unusual: look at the texts that say what the UN actually said about recognition of the PRC (no mention of Taiwan) and how Australia's text recognising the PRC in 1972 does not sign up to Beijing's 'One China' formula - instead it 'acknowledges the position of the Chinese Government that Taiwan is a province of the PRC'. Words - and memory - matter, it turns out.

Richard, Jessamy, and Gavin reflect on developments at the 78th World Health Assembly, including the passage of the pandemic agreement and shifting dynamics in global health leadership.

This week, on the Global Research News Hour we share the disappointing news, in the eyes of some critics, that a modified, watered down version of the Pandemic Agreement was finally approved at the World Health Assembly last month, and the prospects for rights and national sovereignty moving forward. In our first half hour, we play an excerpt from a September 2024 interview with journalist and film maker James Corbett of the Corbett Report on last year's failure of the Pandemic Agreement in which he successfully predicted the threat it represented would be approved sooner or later. And in our second half hour, we spoke to commentator Dr. Meryl Nass about what is still problematic about this year's approach to stopping apparently much more frequent pandemic calls in the years ahead.

This week we reflect on the 78th World Health Assembly, which Devex covered on the ground in Geneva. From the historic agreement of the Pandemic Treaty to the World Health Organization's strategies for addressing its persistent funding gap, we analyze the key takeaways from the conference. We also discuss the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation's aid delivery mechanism, which is facing internal collapse and accusations of violating humanitarian norms. The organization's now-former executive director, Jake Wood, resigned on Sunday, just one day before the private humanitarian organization's food aid distribution plan for Gaza launched, saying that it was “not possible” to implement the initiative “while also strictly adhering to humanitarian principles.” This week's episode also looks ahead to the topics we will be following at the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development starting next month in Seville, Spain. Digging into these stories and others, Devex Business Editor David Ainsworth sits down with Senior Editor Rumbi Chakamba and Global Development Reporter Jesse Chase-Lubitz to bring you This Week in Global Development.

Women with dense breasts are four times more likely to develop breast cancer than women with low breast density and it's also harder for cancer to be detected with existing screening methods. But now, the findings in a new study could dramatically improve the chances of having the disease spotted early on. We speak to the study's lead author is Professor Fiona Gilbert to find out more.The 2025 World Health Assembly has just concluded, Devex Correspondent Andrew Green was there and tells us what the main takeaways were.Dr Cecilia Kanyama and Professor Thomas Harrison share their decades-long effort to improve treatment options for cryptococcal meningitis.

Cohosts Yvette Raphael and Ben Plumley unpick the major news coming out of the 78th World Health Assembly in Geneva. – from the new pandemic treaty, to WHO budget and staffing cuts, to increases in membership fees and voluntary contributions. They ruminate on how the current seemingly-unstoppable geopolitical chaos is affecting the ability of global health institutions like the World Health Organisation to deliver – and deliver on what exactly? What can the WHO actually do in such a fractured political climate? They reflect on US Secretary of Health and Human Service's video presentation to the World Health Assembly, which at the very best, can't be called the best example of American power and diplomacy. Which perhaps was the point. They cover a few broader issues Which leads them to a few extra-curricular activities – the diplomatic manner in which South African President Cyril Ramaphosa immediately deflected a bizarre meeting at the US White House, complete with lies, videotape and no offers of jumbo jets. Before hitting Geneva, Yvette was at the European Congress on Obesity and Weight Management in Barcelona delving into the complex interactions between HIV and weight issues. They close out a no holds barred conversation on a recent announcement made by the Global Fund of a new groundbreaking partnership between Mozambique and a Kenyan pharmaceutical company, which they were too coy to name. So Yvette and Ben give the company, United Corporation Ltd of Kenya a big shout out… 00:00 Introduction and Podcast Overview 00:24 Support and Subscription Reminder 00:56 World Health Assembly Recap Begins 01:23 Yvette's European Trip and Obesity Congress 02:02 HIV and Weight Issues Discussion 04:09 Elon Musk's Controversial Comments 08:19 Pandemic Treaty and Global Health Governance 14:32 WHO Budget Cuts and Leadership Changes 18:15 Global South's Role in Health Funding 28:45 China's Growing Influence in Global Health 33:19 Conclusion and Final Thoughts 45:14 Closing Remarks and Acknowledgements

This week, 124 countries agreed at the World Health Assembly in Geneva on measures aimed at preventing a future pandemic. The agreement very strongly favours a “One Health” approach, appreciating how so many potential pathogens originate in human-animal interactions. Still to agree on the terms of how to share pathogens and information with global science and vaccine researchers, eventually the treaty will need to be signed by at least 60 countries. But can the inequity between countries of the global south and north, and issues of intellectual property, be bridged?A new study on origins of the Nigerian mpox epidemic points strongly to zoonotic crossovers and mobility of wildlife in West Africa. Edyth Parker of Redeemer's University in Nigeria describes their phylogenetic tree.Can the bovine form of H5N1 flu infect pigs, and could domestic pig populations then provide a crucible for further variants to develop? Jürgen Richt of Kansas State University and colleagues have been investigating. We need to keep up vigilance.Lucy van Dorp of University College London, working with a consortium including London's Crick Institute, has been looking at a moment in the past when human activity provided an opportunity for a bacterial human pathogen to change its lifestyle. According to their phylogenetic tree, the bacterium Borrelia recurrentis (which causes louse-borne relapsing fever in humans) adapted and moved from ticks to human body lice around about the same time as humans started using woollen clothing.And Susan Lieberman, VP for International Policy at the Wildlife Conservation Society, was in the trenches of the Pandemic Agreement negotiations, and shares some of her hopes for its success.

With the 78th World Health Assembly in full swing, we dig into the main talking point of the conference: the Pandemic Agreement. The landmark treaty was adopted during this year's edition of the annual summit. The agreement is designed to create a world better prepared for pandemics, ensuring a more equitable distribution of lifesaving medical interventions — a key challenge highlighted by the COVID-19 response. We delve into what this means for pandemic preparedness and chart the essential next steps. During the conversation, we also discuss the funding challenges faced by the World Health Organization and possible solutions that are being explored to ensure its sustainable future. For this special episode of our podcast series recorded live on the sidelines of the World Health Assembly, Devex Senior Editor Rumbi Chakamba sits down with Helen Clark, the former Prime Minister of New Zealand, and Dr. Ngashi Ngongo, the principal adviser to the director-general on program management and the continental incident manager for mpox at the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

In Episode 149 of Brad & Abbey Zerbo Live, the duo delivers a high-energy breakdown of Trump's strategic withdrawal from the World Health Organization, just as global leaders sign on to a new pandemic treaty. They celebrate the U.S. skipping the World Health Assembly, dissect the propaganda playbook behind the plandemic narrative, and spotlight Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s scorched-earth video address to the WHO, which Brad and Abbey call “the best polite F-you in history.” The conversation expands into the dangers of global governance, Biden's billion-dollar WHO reversal, and the psychological manipulation used to manufacture consent. They also cover a jaw-dropping Trump-era deregulation effort that slashed 47 burdensome rules, explore the hidden impact of unelected bureaucrats, and praise efforts to free the American worker from regulatory strangleholds. With anecdotes about construction jobs, COVID weaponization, Crossfire Hurricane, and Alaska's untapped resource potential, the episode fuses humor, insight, and fire. As usual, the pair wraps with some fan favorites, mosquito alerts, camping rants, and a rally cry for real patriotism. Packed with receipts and righteous outrage, this episode is Brad and Abbey at their uncensored best.

The World Health Assembly, the highest decision-making body of the World Health Organization, on Monday decided not to include in its agenda a proposal on the participation of China's Taiwan province in the annual assembly as an observer.世界卫生组织最高决策机构世界卫生大会（WHA）周一作出决定，拒绝将中国台湾地区以观察员身份参会的提案列入大会议程。The decision was made by both the general committee and the plenary session of the 78th WHA.该决定是由第七十八届世界卫生大会总务委员会和全体会议审议通过。This is the ninth consecutive year that the global health agency has rejected such a proposal.这标志着世卫大会连续第九年对类似提案说“不”。Speaking at the first plenary meeting of the assembly, Chen Xu, permanent representative of China to the United Nations Office at Geneva and other international organizations in Switzerland, said the proposal blatantly challenges the authority of the UN and the postwar international order.中国常驻联合国日内瓦办事处和瑞士其他国际组织代表陈旭在大会全会发言时严正指出，该提案公然挑战联合国权威，践踏战后国际秩序根基。"This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the 80th anniversary of the recovery of Taiwan province," he said.他说：“今年正值世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年，也是台湾省恢复的80周年。”"Taiwan province's return to China is an integral part of the outcomes of the victory in World War II and the postwar international order. The UN General Assembly Resolution 2758 and World Health Assembly Resolution 25.1 have long since resolved the issue of China's representation, including that of the Taiwan province."“中国台湾省回归祖国怀抱，是第二次世界大战胜利成果和战后国际秩序的重要组成部分。联合国大会第2758号决议与世界卫生大会第25.1号决议已从法理和程序上彻底解决了包括中国台湾省在内的中国代表权问题。”"For many consecutive years, the WHA has rejected such a proposal, thereby upholding the authority of the UN and the postwar international order. The fact clearly shows that the path of 'Taiwan independence' is a dead end and is once again doomed to fail."“世卫大会连续多年拒绝涉台提案，有力维护了联合国宪章权威和战后国际秩序。这一事实充分证明‘台独'分裂行径注定失败，任何政治操弄终将徒劳无功。”发言人强调。Chen also pointed out that it is the separatist activities pursued by the Democratic Progressive Party authorities of Taiwan province in recent years that have eliminated the political foundation for Taiwan province's participation in the assembly, and that, under the one-China principle, the engagement of Taiwan province with the WHO is not subject to any difficulties or obstacles.发言人陈旭特别指出，正是台湾省民进党当局近年来持续进行的谋“独”行径，彻底破坏了台湾省参与世卫大会的政治基础。根据一个中国原则，台湾省在卫生领域的国际参与不存在任何障碍。According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson's remarks in response to the 78th WHA's rejection of the province-related proposal, the Chinese central government attaches great importance to the health and well-being of the compatriots in Taiwan province, and has made proper arrangements for the province's engagement in global health affairs under the one-China principle.中国外交部发言人就第78届世界卫生大会拒绝涉台提案作出回应时表示，中央政府始终高度重视台湾同胞的健康福祉，在一个中国原则下已为台湾地区参与全球卫生事务作出妥善安排。 The spokesperson said the central government has approved the participation in WHO technical activities by 11 batches of 12 health experts from Taiwan province over the past year, and under the framework of the International Health Regulations, Taiwan province can promptly access health emergencies information from the WHO and report such information to it.发言人指出，过去一年来中央政府已批准台湾地区11批次共12名卫生专家参与世卫组织技术活动。根据《国际卫生条例》框架安排，台湾地区可及时从世卫组织获取卫生应急信息，并向该组织通报相关情况。 Chen also underlined the above points in his remarks during the assembly, saying, "The proposal hyping up about the so-called gap in the international pandemic prevention system is completely inconsistent with the facts."中国代表陈旭在世卫大会发言中再次强调上述立场，明确指出：“炒作所谓国际防疫体系存在空白的提案完全不符合事实。”"The one-China principle is a consensus of the international community," Chen added. "To date, 183 countries have already established diplomatic relations with China on the basis of the one-China principle."“一个中国原则是国际社会普遍共识，”陈代表补充道，“目前已有183个国家基于这一原则与中国建立外交关系。”The 78th WHA, themed "One World for Health", runs through May 27. Attended by delegations from all 194 WHO member states, it brings together high-level country representatives and other stakeholders to address global health challenges.以“同一个世界，共护健康”为主题的第78届世界卫生大会将持续至5月27日。本届大会汇聚世卫组织全部194个成员国的代表团，汇集各国卫生部长级官员及利益攸关方代表，共同应对全球公共卫生挑战。proposal/prəˈpəʊzl/n.提议; 动议;the World Health Organization世界卫生组织plenary session全体会议；大会；全会hype up使兴奋; 煽动; 大肆宣传beinconsistent with与......不符stakeholder/ˈsteɪkhəʊldə(r)/n. 利益相关者

The 78th World Health Assembly has opened in Geneva under the theme "One World for Health."

While the global health community wrenches its clothes and gnashes its teeth in Switzerland at the 78th World Health Assembly, Dr Mike Reid, Associate Director of the Center for Global Health Diplomacy, UCSF joins Ben in an entertaining and wide ranging exploration of a positive, forward-looking agenda for global health. Topics include global health security, one health, mis- and disinformation in the doctor-patient relationship, health technology and specific future uses and pitfalls of AI to improve access to healthcare in developing countries.  Mike offers a promise of a future episode on channelling philanthropic dollars into sovereign wealth funds for global health investments. And finally they reflect on their upbringing in the UK with its “free at the point of delivery” National Health Service, and argue over which of the modern Cambridge University Colleges they went to most resembles a multi-story car park.  00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:09 World Health Assembly Insights 01:18 Guest Introduction: Dr. Mike Reed 03:40 Mike Reid's  Background and Career 05:58 Global Health Security and Solidarity 11:28 The One Health Agenda 14:12 Artificial Intelligence in Global Health 37:26 Navigating Healthcare Systems 43:48 Closing Remarks and Future Topics Mike's Substack:  https://reimaginingglobalhealth.substack.com/

Next week, the global health community will convene in Geneva for the World Health Organization's annual decision-making summit, the World Health Assembly. We preview the pivotal discussions expected to shape the coming year, including the implications of recent leadership changes and cost-saving initiatives at WHO, as well as the evolving role of philanthropic organizations in funding global health. We also discuss U.S. President Donald Trump's self-described “big, beautiful bill,” which made its way through a key congressional tax-writing committee on Wednesday. The 389-page plan would increase taxes on private foundations, place a 5% tax on remittances for non-U.S. citizens, and allow the government to revoke the tax-exempt status of organizations it says support terrorists. To analyze these stories, and others, Devex Senior Reporter Adva Saldinger sits down with Managing Editor Anna Gawel and senior global health reporter Jenny Lei Ravelo for the latest episode of our podcast series. Join our global health reporting team in person or online in Geneva from May 19 to 22 as we host a series of events and roundtables on the sidelines of the 78th World Health Assembly. This journalist-led summit will bring sector leaders to discuss and explore solutions to some of the most pressing issues in global health.

Turbocharged by the internet and mobile technology, legalized gambling has exploded across the globe, leaving behind ruined lives, broken families and financial hardships, and should now be classified as a major public health concern. A four-year study by a public health commission on gambling convened by The Lancet, the respected British journal of medicine, found that net global losses by gamblers could exceed $700 billion by the year 2028, and that 80% of countries now allow some form of legal gambling. But HKS Professor Malcolm Sparrow, a leading scholar on regulating societal harms, says that in reality the percentage of countries where gambling is practiced is closer to 100% because internet- and mobile-based gambling—often using cryptocurrencies—can easily circumvent borders. Among the commission's more concerning findings is that a significant portion of virtual gamblers are teenagers, and that more than 1 in 4 teens are at risk of becoming compulsive or problem gamblers. Sparrow tells PolicyCast host Ralph Ranalli that the harms are also widespread, since the suffering from each problem gambler also affects on average six to eight people around them—ranging from spouses to relatives to friends to employers and co-workers. Sparrow says the commission has identified a number of policy solutions to mitigate the growing fallout from gambling expansion, ranging from limiting the speed and intensity of virtual gambling products to prohibiting gambling with credit cards and banning gaming companies from offering loans. Policy Recommendations from The Lancet Public Health Commission on Gambling:Push governments to define gambling as primarily a public health issue, and prioritize health and wellbeing over economic gains when crafting gambling policies.Adopt effective regulation in all countries—regardless of whether or not they have legalized gambling—including limiting promotion and marketing, providing accessible support for betting-related harms, and denormalizing gambling through public awareness campaigns.Create independent regulators in jurisdictions where gambling is legal to enforce protections including safeguards for young people, consumer protections, and mandatory limits on gambling activities.Shield development of gambling policies, research, and treatment from industry influence through a shift to independent funding sources.At the international level, require UN entities and intergovernmental organizations to address gambling harms as part of broader health and wellbeing strategies.Create an international alliance of stakeholders to lead advocacy, research, and collaboration on gambling-related issues.Adopt a resolution recognizing the public health impacts of gambling at the World Health Assembly.Episode Notes:Malcolm K. Sparrow is professor of the practice of public management at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government.  He is faculty chair of the school's executive education program on strategic management of regulatory and enforcement agencies. He is the offer of several books, including “The Regulatory Craft: Controlling Risks, Solving Problems, and Managing Compliance,” and “License to Steal: How Fraud Bleeds America's Health Care System.” An expert in regulatory management, his research interests include regulatory and enforcement strategy, fraud control, corruption control, and operational risk management. Before coming to HKS, he served 10 years with the British Police Service, where he rose to the rank of detective chief inspector and conducted internal affairs investigations, commanded a tactical firearms unit, and gained extensive experience with criminal investigation. A mathematician and patent-holding inventor in the area of computerized fingerprint analysis, he earned an MA in mathematics from Cambridge University, an MPA from the Kennedy School, and a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Kent.Ralph Ranalli of the HKS Office of Communications and Public Affairs is the host, producer, and editor of HKS PolicyCast.

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.   It will probably shock the millions of Americans treated to an intensely patriotically themed Democratic convention last week that the Harris-Biden administration is expected next month to take another major step in surrendering our national sovereignty and personal freedoms to world government.   That would be the practical effect of replicating at the United Nation's so-called “Summit of the Future” in September what the presidency also-known-as “Obama 3.0” did in June.   At the World Health Assembly in Geneva, the U.S. government stealthily agreed to a new treaty conferring, among other outrages, emergency powers to force us to conform our laws to the dictates of the World Health Organization's unelected, malfeasant and Maoist Director General.   Now, the Democrats intend to give similar sovereignty-crushing authority to another Marxist bureaucrat: the UN's Secretary General.   True patriots must reject these surrenders of our freedoms. Now.   This is Frank Gaffney.

Dr. Kelly Collins and Gillian Javetski join co-hosts Jonathan Jackson and Amie Vaccaro for a candid conversation about the market for digital health products. Kelly returned from the World Health Assembly with a burning question: How can we teach global health to buy software as a commodity, the same way they might buy drugs or diagnostic tools? How might we peel back the influence of aid and donor funds on digital health so that we can build tech products for global health that matter? In this conversation, Gillian, Kelly and Jonathan each share their approaches to maintaining focus on solving problems and creating value for the digital health user across CommCare, SureAdhere and CommCare Connect.  Topics include:  The dual challenge of increasing security demands and increasingly limited funding The lag in procurement maturity compared to technological advancements, and the importance of creating must-have, high-value products.

THE ANTICHRIST'S KINGDOM will not be established by conquest but by law—one suffocating regulation at a time.This week, we discuss a meeting in May that sounded mundane and boring, the World Health Assembly. At this meeting, however, some 300 proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations were voted upon by the 194 member states of the WHO. Some of these amendments, which become law in May of 2025, essentially give the World Health Organization the power to rule the world.Does that sound too sensational to be true? We thought so, too, at first. But legal scholars who have looked at this are sounding the alarm. Using public health as justification, the WHO wants the power to dictate health policies, control our ability to travel, and even regulate what they consider mis-, dis-, or malinformation on social media.It doesn't take a believer in end times Bible prophecy to see how next May's seemingly boring meeting of health professionals and bureaucrats could lay the groundwork for a global government. If you have a prophetic worldview, you see exactly where this leads.

Reports from the Seventy-seventh World Health Assembly indicate a willingness from member States to finalize the Pandemic Treaty ­– a proposed legal framework that endeavors to coordinate the global response to future pandemics – within the next year. In this episode, WHO Principal Legal Officer Steven Solomon and WHO Senior Legal Officer Kenneth Piercy join us to pull back the curtain on the treaty negotiations so far and, with an eye to the future, discuss what a concluded Treaty could mean for global pandemic preparedness.

Despite a minor setback this month at the World Health Assembly, the United Nations World Health Organization is moving ahead on imposing a totalitarian global “health” police state on humanity, warned University of Illinois International Law Professor Francis Boyle in this interview with The New American magazine’s Alex Newman on Conversations That Matter.

Grant Newsham, Senior Research Fellow at Japan Forum for Strategic Studies I spoke to Grant Newsham about China, the enemy without and, unfortunately, increasingly the enemy within.  We also  discussed what China is doing to use various lines of attack against us to achieve their objective of the conquest of one way or the other of Taiwan  We explored China's plan to take down what they consider to be the main enemy. Art Ally, President at the Timothy Plan Art Ally and I discussed how we're fairing in the Lord's eyes. Why we may be facing as much tribulation as we are for our offenses against him, what it is translating into in terms of both public policy problems. We also discussed what we must do to remedy the situation with his blessing, namely seek it through repentance. George Rasley, Editor of Conservative HQ George Rasley and I explored the extent to which there is a prospect that Donald Trump has actually benefited rather handsomely from the prosecution he was subjected to in the form of law-fare, but also with the possibility that he may become a political prisoner literally behind bars. We also discussed what the implications of all that might be, as well as the need for election validity, not just integrity, and what that will entail,  George also gave his insights into the travesty that took place at the World Health Assembly last week when I was in Geneva.

Ben is joined by two friends of the pod, Christine Stegling, Deputy Director of UNAIDS, and Vuyiseka Dubula, Department Head, Community Rights & Gender at the Global Fund, to reflect on what this week's developments at the WHA, mean for the global AIDS response, and why the lessons of HIV do not seem to have been learned in access to medicines and pandemics preparation. And that's a wrap from the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland!

Dr. David Wurmser, Senior Analyst for Middle East Affairs, Center for Security Policy, former Middle East Advisor to Vice President Dick Cheney, retired, US Navy Reserves Lieutenant Commander The latest peace plan for Israel emerging from Washington and what it portends. Is Washington's latest peace plan embraced by the government of Benjamin Netanyahu? Or is it just another instance of the Biden administration's determined effort to overthrow that government in favor of one that will help ensure? Marly Hornik, CEO United Sovereign Americans I spoke with Marlee Hornick about a volunteer-driven grassroots effort to get not just election integrity, but election validation. Why are there millions of voters across the country who have voting eligibility but don't meet any standard of validity or legality in terms of registration data? Bill Walton, Host Of The Bill Walton Show Bill Walton and I discussed at some length the travesty that took place literally in the dark of night at the World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland.

Ben sits down with Elisha Dunn-Georgiou from the Global Health Council to reflect on decisions made, agreements missed, and funding committed to at the 77th WHA in Geneva, Switzerland.

THE WORLD HEALTH ASSEMBLY is set to pass a package of amendments to the International Health Regulations that makes the World Health Organization, at least on paper, an unelected global government. Included in the 300+ amendments are changes to the IHR that vastly expands the power of the WHO to decide what constitutes a global health emergency, even including things like carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere, and how to respond—including control over what it determines is mis- or disinformation (a so-called “infodemic”) and rushing into production new, unlicensed “investigational” medicines.  Here's the link to our first program on the International Health Regulations. Also: Why even those who hate Donald Trump should be alarmed by the guilty verdict in his hush money trial; the irony of Spain's recognition of an independent “Palestine”; and Ukraine's use of American and German weapons against targets inside Russia marks another step towards World War 3.

Reggie Littlejohn, Founder and President of Women's Rights Without Frontiers   Reggie Littlejohn spoke to me from the World Health Assembly, where they are trying to murder your constitution, your state's rights, and your medical freedom with what I call Plan B, bait and switch, substituting for a so-called failed pandemic treaty,  to ensure that we have a new global health dictator governing the world's health policies and what that would mean for you.

Life expectancy is expected to increase by almost five years around the world by 2050, according to new research. The Global Burden of Disease Study says countries with lower life expectancy are expected to see the biggest increases.Claudia Hammond is joined by BBC Africa health correspondent Dorcas Wangira to hear how public health measures are behind the predicted increases.We also hear about how negotiations at this week's World Health Assembly to secure a global deal for countries to prepare for pandemics have fallen through.Claudia and Dorcas discuss new research in Kenya into the time of day mosquitoes are biting children in school, and what it tells us about whether the insects are getting smarter.We also hear about the project twinning hospitals in Mexico and the US to try to improve the survival chances of children with leukaemia.And new research from Australia suggests having a baby takes much more metabolic energy than previously thought.

The World Health Organization's (WHO) pandemic treaty has officially failed to pass. The controversial international treaty would have empowered the WHO to have deeper influence over global health policy. Yet, despite it failing to pass, top members of the WHO noted at the World Health Assembly that they don't see this as an end. Various officials commented that they may have a deal within the next year or two. In other news, a verdict is expected in the New York case against former President Donald Trump, and the judge has issued a ruling that could make a guilty verdict easier. Justice Juan Merchan has ruled that the jury does not need to unanimously agree on what predicate crime Trump may have committed. In this live Q&A with Crossroads host Joshua Philipp we'll discuss these topics and others, and answer questions from the audience. Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.   ⭕️

We are witnessing a world struggle for domination and control of the population, land, energy and even your health. Right now, the World Health Assembly is meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, to finalize a vote on a pandemic treaty. There's also the struggle among nations as to who will-will not support Israel and the Jewish people. Then there's the current political struggle and the struggle over border control in America. Where is this leading and what might this mean for evangelical Christians-- --Returning to Crosstalk to answer these questions was Gary Kah. Gary is founder and director of Hope for the World. He's editor of Hope for the World Update, an author and former Europe - Middle East Trade Specialist for the Indiana State Government.--Gary began by describing the timeline of the pandemic treaty being discussed by the WHO, a treaty that's been in the making for a few years. It's being backed by the Biden administration. In order to avert any resistance from Congress, they've been referring to this as an accord. That way they can say that the Senate doesn't need to ratify it since it's not really a treaty. --If this treaty passes, the WHO would be given incredible power and it could be used to force what Gary described as -draconian measures- on the population of America when the next health crisis takes place. This means Americans could see restrictions in regard to speech, privacy, travel, choice of medical care and informed consent. In other words if passed, the WHO would move from being an advisory body to a global authority as it pertains to public health.

The 77th World Health Assembly takes place from May 27th through June 1st in Geneva, Switzerland. The theme is, -All for health, health for all.- This assembly is the main decision making body of the World Health Organization, comprised of 194 member states.--What this assembly has in store for us is what brought Mat Staver back to Crosstalk. Mat is founder - chairman of Liberty Counsel. He's a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He is an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith - Freedom and Freedom's Call.--Mat noted that just a few years ago there were members of the U.S. Congress that believed the World Health Organization is merely an advisory organization and couldn't be legally binding. Is that really true----First of all, what is the World Health Organization-- The WHO is a U.N. agency located in Geneva, Switzerland, that is pushing what Mat referred to as two different tracks. One has to do with up to 300 amendments dealing with their international health regulations. The other track involves the drafting of a brand new pandemic agreement-treaty. The WHO is trying to get these passed by the 194 member nations of which the U.S. is one. All they need is a simple majority of nations to agree to pass these regulations. This would change the WHO from being an advisory body to one whose statements and advisories would be legally binding under international law on member nations.--Can President Biden unilaterally sign the U.S. under the WHO without approval from the U.S. Senate, and if so, why would he do it-- How could this be challenged-- What might this mean for our national sovereignty and freedom--

Mat Staver is founder - chairman of Liberty Counsel. Mat is a constitutional attorney with three landmark cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He's an author and the host of the radio broadcasts Faith - Freedom and Freedom's Call.--The new World Health Organization -WHO- pandemic treaty has been unveiled. The intergovernmental negotiating body of the WHO has been meeting and refining the pandemic treaty in preparation for the 77th World Health Assembly which takes place May 27th through June 1st in Geneva, Switzerland.--Multiple planning meetings have been underway since the last world health assembly and in recent weeks the World Health Organization released their revised draft of this pandemic agreement.--The Biden administration doesn't refer to this agreement as a treaty, merely an agreement or an accord. Mat contends that it is, in fact, a treaty. Remember, a treaty must be affirmed-ratified by a two-thirds majority vote in the U.S. Senate. Mat believes they won't get that kind of vote, especially when it jeopardizes U.S. sovereignty. The result is that there's an attempt to re-categorize this as a pandemic agreement so that there's no need for a two-thirds vote.--In addition to the pandemic treaty-agreement there's also 300- amendments to the existing international health regulations of the WHO. Mat believes those are just as bad and the Biden administration is pushing to sign on to those amendments as well as the pandemic agreement next month.--Can President Biden do this unilaterally-- Will it be legally binding and if so, what will this mean for American sovereignty-- Find out more, and also hear what was said concerning Iran's attack on Israel.
