WHO Decision will be re-evaluated after appointment of Zimbabwean despot provokes global anger
Quote:
The head of the World Health Organization has said he is rethinking his decision to name Zimbabwe’s president, Robert Mugabe, as a goodwill ambassador after the move provoked global outrage. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director general of the UN health agency, had this week asked Zimbabwe’s 93-year-old authoritarian leader to serve in the role to help tackle non-communicable diseases such as heart attacks, strokes and asthma across Africa. The decision triggered confusion and anger among WHO member states and activists who noted that Zimbabwe’s health care system, like many of its public services, has collapsed under Mugabe’s regime. Details: https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...ill-ambassador Methinks the WHO Director General should also "rethink" if he is the right man for the job.

WHO cancels Robert Mugabe goodwill ambassador role
The World Health Organization has revoked the appointment of Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe as a goodwill ambassador following a widespread outcry.
"I have listened carefully to all who have expressed their concerns," WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement. He had previously praised Zimbabwe for its commitment to public health. But critics pointed out that Zimbabwe's healthcare system had collapsed under Mr Mugabe's 30-year rule. Staff often go without pay, medicines are in short supply, and Mr Mugabe, who has outlived the average life expectancy in his country by three decades, travels abroad for medical treatment (Singapore). Details: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-41713919 I hope this bizarre aberration in judgement by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus is a one-off.

A Scottish man has been sentenced to three months in jail for touching a man's hip in a Dubai bar. Jamie Harron, from Stirling, was arrested in July and charged with public indecency. He claimed he had simply been trying to avoid spilling his drink when he touched the man. The 27-year-old electrician had already been sentenced to a month in jail for drinking beer and still faces further court proceedings. The businessman who made the complaint against Mr Harron later withdrew it, but prosecutors in Dubai continued with the case. News of the three-month sentence was released by campaign group Detained in Dubai, which has been supporting Mr Herron. Details: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotlan...ntral-41713718

Swiss farmers sick of their pesticides
My friendly 64 years old farmer neighbour died of cancer on last week.
He always worked with pesticides. What is actually happening to Swiss farmers surely is happening to all the non-biological farmers in the world. Quote:

Many men of around the same age who live in my street have been treated for cancer in the last two or three years. I have a sneaking suspicion that Chernobyl may have played a part in what's happened. It's over 30 years now, but I wish I'd hadn't been doing an outdoor house painting job when the initial fallout was drifting across Northern Europe and the UK government played down the risks.
