Jaime Saavedra, presidente del Instituto Nacional de Inclusión Social Adolescente (Inisa), valoró como “muy satisfactoria” su comparecencia ante la Comisión de Hacienda y Presupuesto de Diputados en el marco de la Rendición de Cuentas. El jerarca destacó el “amplio respaldo” recibido y subrayó que, al igual que el año pasado, el organismo no solicitó recursos económicos adicionales ni más funcionarios. El presidente de Inisa señaló «del mismo modo que el año pasado no pedimos plata, no pedimos funcionarios». “Pedimos que nos habiliten algunas normas legales para hacer algunas cosas que el Uruguay tiene que hacer con los adolescentes infractores y que no estaba haciendo”, explicó. La principal demanda es contar con la posibilidad legal de trabajar durante 24 meses con los jóvenes que egresan de Inisa, a través de programas de reinserción comunitaria. Según Saavedra, ya existe un programa elaborado que el directorio aprobará la próxima semana. Si el Parlamento...

The North East Development Commission has approved plans to invest about N100bn in a 50-megawatt solar power project aimed at improving electricity supply across the North-East, describing power as the region’s most critical requirement for economic recovery and development. The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the commission, Mohammed Alkali, disclosed this on Thursday during a press briefing in Abuja while outlining the commission’s transition from recovery to expansion under its regional master plan. Alkali said the NEDC board had approved the immediate commencement of the project, which will deploy modular solar-powered electricity systems to schools, hospitals, markets and other critical public infrastructure across the six states of the North-East. He explained that the project forms part of the commission’s third phase of development, which focuses on expanding economic opportunities after years of stabilisation and reconstruction. According to him, inadequate electricity remains one of the biggest obstacles to development...

Albert David: Sierra Leone Telegraph: 30 July 2026: In a Parliament increasingly strained by political engineering and constitutional acrobatics, Hon. Aminata Sesay of Port Loko District delivered one of the most consequential interventions of Sierra Leone’s democratic era, a speech that did not merely challenge the government’s controversial Constitutional Amendment Bill, but exposed the deeper crisis of manipulation, deception, and institutional erosion threatening the nation’s democratic soul. A Devastating Unmasking of Manufactured Consent, the Moral Cost of Manipulation, and the Moment Power Forgot the People As crowds gathered to witness the debate on the proposed amendments to the 1991 Constitution, the atmosphere was thick with public anxiety. Citizens from every corner of Sierra Leone arrived not out of curiosity, but out of fear, fear that their voices were being sidelined, their rights diluted, and their democracy reshaped without their consent. The proposed amendments, from the Proportional Representation (PR) system, to...

Thirteen local medical specialists and senior clinical officers will participate in an intensive one-month observational fellowship at Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, as part of an expanding healthcare partnership between the two nations. Speaking at an official send-off ceremony, Khomas Region Governor Sam Shafiishuna Nujoma highlighted the critical role the cohort will play upon their return. Nujoma noted that the medical team, which includes specialists from several specialisation fields including oncology, radiology, nuclear medicine, and anaesthesiology, among others, carries with them the hopes of the Namibian health sector “They are going to learn, to observe, and to build the clinical capacity that our nation urgently requires,” he said. According to Nujoma, the exchange programme takes place against the backdrop of a partnership established in 2015, when the Khomas Region and Jiangsu Province signed the Twinning Agreement that set in motion a decade of cooperation in science and technology, education, culture, health,...

North Korean authorities carried out an emergency evacuation in South Pyongan province this month after a newly built apartment building showed signs of imminent collapse, and have since detained a construction section chief blamed for pushing the project through with unsafe, rushed construction methods. A source in South Pyongan province told Daily NK on Monday that serious signs of collapse risk were recently discovered in a new three-story apartment building in Pyongwon county, even though the building had formally passed its completion inspection at the end of last month. In response, county safety department officers rushed to evacuate both residents who had already moved in and people passing near the building in the predawn hours of mid-July, the source said. According to the source, the building’s management had already issued move-in certificates, and some residents were living there when the danger emerged. As the region’s summer rainy season weakened the...

En Haïti, le Centre Ambulancier National (CAN) représente l’un des derniers remparts entre l’urgence médicale et la fatalité Une ambulance qui n’arrive pas à temps n’est pas seulement un véhicule en retard. C’est parfois une vie qui s’éteint dans le silence, une mère qui ne reverra jamais son enfant, un père qui succombe faute d’avoir été transporté à temps vers un centre hospitalier. En Haïti, où le système de santé ploie déjà sous le poids de l’insécurité, de la pauvreté et de l’insuffisance des infrastructures, le Centre Ambulancier National (CAN) représente l’un des derniers remparts entre l’urgence médicale et la fatalité. C’est dire combien la direction de cette institution est une responsabilité immense.

La Comisión de Salud de la Asamblea Nacional recomendó al Pleno seguir los trámites correspondientes para la discusión en segundo debate del proyecto de ley 398, que establece medidas regulatorias sobre ácidos grasos trans de producción industrial, que fue objetado por el Órgano Ejecutivo. A juicio del proponente del proyecto, el diputado Crispiano Adames, la decisión del Ejecutivo se debió a motivos comerciales, bajo ciertas especificaciones técnicas de estos productos, a pesar de que contaba con el apoyo del Ministerio de Salud. Estudios clínicos determinaron que las grasas trans son responsables de enfermedades no transmisibles como las cardiovasculares, diabetes e hipertensión. Este es uno de varios proyectos que se han presentado para llevar una alimentación saludable. Precisamente, el pasado martes, integrantes del Movimiento de Alimentación Saludable protestaron frente a la Asamblea para hacer un llamado a los diputados de la comisión de Salud para que incluyan la discusión de la...

La decisión del Partido Independiente de presentar una demanda civil para frenar la construcción de la represa de Casupá constituye uno de los primeros grandes enfrentamientos políticos y judiciales con el gobierno de Yamandú Orsi en materia de infraestructura. Para el líder de la colectividad, Pablo Mieres, la obra no solo representa un error estratégico para el abastecimiento de agua potable del área metropolitana, sino que además carece de las condiciones legales y ambientales necesarias para avanzar. En diálogo con Diario La R, el exministro de Trabajo sostuvo que Uruguay enfrenta un problema real de suministro de agua potable, pero cuestionó que la solución elegida por el Poder Ejecutivo vuelva a concentrar el abastecimiento en la cuenca del río Santa Lucía. «Está claro que Uruguay tiene un problema de abastecimiento de agua potable en la zona metropolitana, pero tan claro como eso es que construir una represa en la cuenca...

Pročitajte i ovo: Infantino želi da proda dio FIFA, UEFA žestoko uzvratila Plan predviđa stvaranje kompanije FIFA Forvard Enterprajz, čija bi vrijednost bila procijenjena na oko 20 milijardi dolara. Privatnim investitorima bio bi ponuđen manjinski udio u kompaniji koja bi objedinila prihode od televizijskih prava, sponzorstava, prodaje ulaznica i licenciranja, kao i dio poslova vezanih za organizaciju FIFA-inih takmičenja. FIFA je nacionalnim savezima ostavila rok do 19. septembra da se izjasne o prijedlogu, dok je za njegovu realizaciju potrebna podrška većine članica, a zatim i odobrenje Vijeća FIFA. Potencijalni investitori tokom avgusta trebaju dobiti pristup osnovnim uslovima i odabranim materijalima, nakon čega FIFA očekuje da sredstva budu uplaćena do kraja oktobra. FIFA navodi da bi prodajom manjinskog udjela...

Die Kombination aus Hundeliebe und Designanspruch kann mitunter eine schwierige sein. Vor allem, wenn man bei der Wahl der Tiere die optischen Auswirkungen der Rasse nicht im Auge hat. Dann endet man womöglich mit einer wunderbaren, aber langhaarigen Labrador-Dame, deren weißblondes Haar das Haus vor allem auf dunklen Oberflächen unermüdlich dekoriert. Hier schien die Lösung anfangs noch einfach: Je heller das Mobiliar, desto weniger haarig war die Angelegenheit. Als ihr kleiner „Bruder“ dann genauso ungeplant einzog wie einst sie, hatte sich diese Strategie dann auch erledigt: Der kleine Staffordshire-Terrier mit seinen superkurzen, dunkelgrauen Haaren hinterließ auf all den hellen Decken seine Spuren. »Kurz, ganz kurz war ich versucht, mich farblich in...

Одной из главных тем обсуждения стало рассмотрение проекта конституционного закона РЮО «О внесении изменения в статью 61 Конституции Республики Южная Осетия». Вопрос на рассмотрение вынесла первый зампред, глава парламентского Комитета по законодательству, законности и местному самоуправлению Зита Бесаева. Она пояснила, что частью депутатского корпуса (28 депутатов) было принято решение инициировать данное изменение ввиду того, что избирательная кампания совпадает с истечением срока полномочий Центральной избирательной комиссии РЮО. «Мы добавляем в статью формулировку, которая дает возможность парламенту своим решением продлевать срок полномочий ЦИК, если срок деятельности ЦИК истекает в период избирательной кампании. В данном случае избирательный процесс уже запущен, и главная задача – не допустить его прерывания», – сказала Бесаева. Законопроект был одобрен депутатами единогласно.

BMW makes five BMW on Wednesday became the fifth German carmaker to announce major job cuts, as the country’s auto sector seeks to tackle rising competition from China. The Munich-based firm said it would cut up to 8,000 jobs globally, representing about 5% of its 154,000-strong workforce. BMW, which also owns the Mini and Rolls-Royce brands, said the job losses would primarily affect operations in Germany and be achieved through natural staff turnover and a voluntary redundancy program. Although BMW was seen as more resilient to Chinese competition, the company warned last month that its sales in China were falling sharply. Chinese rivals have intensified competition for electric vehicles (EV), which has crushed BMW’s sales volumes and pricing power. Last year, BMW’s vehicle deliveries in China dropped to their lowest level since 2017 and in the three months to June, they fell 30% year-on-year. US PresidentDonald Trump’s tariffs have also contributed to BMW’s woes, along with higher energy...

OVER the past couple of years, Zambia has been on the move towards securing energy sufficiency and send the era of load-shedding into the annals. The commissioning of the Chisamba 100MW phase 2 solar power plant by President Hakainde Hichilema yesterday represents yet again a major boost to Zambia’s energy security, economic growth, and climate resilience. It diversifies the country’s power mix away from vulnerable hydro power, creates jobs, and strengthens rural development opportunities. The Chisamba plant is more than just a power station — it is a cornerstone of Zambia’s transition to a resilient, low-carbon economy, with far-reaching benefits for households, industries, and future generations. Zambia’s roll-out of solar power plants has been gradual, but the commissioning of projects like the Chisamba 100MW phase 2 PV plant shows that the country is now firmly heading in the right direction. For years, Zambia’s heavy reliance on hydro power left the...

JACK ZIMBA Lusaka INTERNATIONAL Credit Rating Agency (ICRA) has awarded an AA rating with a Stable Outlook to Professional Insurance Corporation Zambia (PICZ), recognising the company’s strong financial position, sound corporate governance and ability to meet its obligations to policyholders. Speaking during the presentation of the rating certificate, ICRA Zambia chief executive officer and director of Africa operations David Mwambazi said credit ratings play a vital role in strengthening confidence in the insurance industry. “Insurance is a unique business because it sells a promise. When people buy an insurance policy, they are paying today for the assurance that if something unexpected happens tomorrow – or even many years from now – the insurer will have the financial strength to honour its commitment,” Dr Mwambazi said. He said independent credit ratings, therefore, provide an objective assessment of an insurer’s financial strength, governance, risk management and ability to meet future obligations. “That...

ELECTION observation is a valuable tool for improving the quality of elections. This is because observers help build public confidence in the honesty of electoral processes. The nation is entering the final stretch towards the August 13 general election and the arrival of international and regional election observer missions should be welcomed with confidence, openness and the assurance that democracy flourishes best under the light of public scrutiny. The presence of observer missions from European Union, those that will be coming from Southern African Development Community (SADC), African Union, Commonwealth and other international organisations is not an intrusion into Zambia’s sovereignty. Rather, it is an affirmation that the country’s democratic journey matters beyond its borders and that the conduct of its elections contributes to the strengthening of democratic governance across the region and the continent. EU’s Election Observation Mission has already begun engaging a broad spectrum of electoral stakeholders, including...

Addressing teachers during a meeting with civil servants on Sunday, Mrs Nalumango, a trained teacher, reminded educators that every profession in society begins in the classroom. “You cannot afford to be lazy or complacent because you shape the nation. The responsibility you carry on your shoulders to mold engineers, lawyers, presidents, and every other professional places a great obligation on you to conduct yourselves with integrity and work diligently.” Mrs Nalumango said teachers play a central role in determining the quality of future leaders and professionals, urging them to reflect on the kind of society they are helping to build. “If we want to deliver for our nation, we must work hard.

CATHERINE BWALYA Choma FORMER Southern Province Minister Edify Hamulale has welcomed Food Reserve Agency (FRA)’s K347 per 50 kilogramme floor price for maize for the 2026 marketing season. Dr Hamukale said in a statement yesterday that K347 per 50kg bag is welcome because it represents only a marginal K7 increase on last year’s price. “This means food prices will remain stable and predictable over a long time,” he said. Dr Hamukale, however, appealed to FRA to double its purchase target to avert future food shortages. He said that while the price is acceptable, FRA’s current target of 500,000 metric tonnes is too low, considering Zambia’s consumption and looming climate risks. “I wish to recommend that the FRA increases the purchase target from 500,000 metric tonnes to at least 1,000,000 tonnes of maize this market season,” Dr Hamukale said. He said Zambia’s annual maize consumption stands at about 3.5 million metric...
