The Rohingya people have been described as “among the world’s least wanted” and “one of the world’s most persecuted minorities.” They have been denied Burmese citizenship since the Burmese nationality law was enacted. They are not allowed to travel without official permission and were previously required to sign a commitment not to have more than two children, though the law was not strictly enforced. They are subjected to routine forced labour, typically a Rohingya man will have to give up one day a week to work on military or government projects, and one night for sentry duty. The Rohingya have also lost a lot of arable land, which has been confiscated by the military to give to Buddhist settlers from elsewhere in Burma.

Daesh (the self-proclaimed IS) has captured 60 percent of the Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus and the refugees mainly women and children are caught between Daesh and Assad regime forces. The camp which is situated in the heart of the Syrian capital has become a major test for the conscience of world powers and humanitarian organizations. The camp which has been under siege for the last three years by Assad regime forces is now the scene of one of the worst humanitarian crises in modern history. Refugees are living without water, sanitation and medical facilities. Yet the United Nations and major world powers remain silent and are doing nothing to end the misery of innocent people. Only days ago, Assad regime forces stopped aid agencies who were trying to reach the camp. A regime which uses barrel bombs and targets civilian areas must be brought to justice in the International Criminal Court.

More than 700 migrants have lost their lives when their overcrowded boat capsized off Libya in a major tragedy this week. The Mediterranean Sea has become a vast watery graveyard for illegal migrants. Italy accuses other countries of not doing enough to stop the flood of illegal immigrants. European Union (EU) countries seem to have decided not to take part in any rescue operations in the Mediterranean Sea to save the lives of illegal immigrants. EU fears that rescue operations will encourage more people to opt for the dangerous sea journey in search of a better life and future in its member countries. Because of wars, poverty and political uncertainty, thousands of people in the Middle East and Africa are trying to reach Europe by sea. According to an estimate, 140,000 people have tried to reach Italy and other European countries this year alone. More than 3,500 people have lost their lives during the perilous sea journey to Europe. The UN and the world community are not doing enough to stop the flow of illegal immigrants. Without solving the basic causes, we will not be able to stop illegal immigration.

orth Carolina: A gunman shot dead three young Muslims near the University of North Carolina on Wednesday, riling Muslim activists who demanded that US state and federal authorities investigate the suspect for possible hate crimes. Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, of Chapel Hill, was arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder, the Chapel Hill Police Department said in a statement on Wednesday. On Facebook, Hicks’ profile picture reads “Atheists for Equality” and he frequently posted quotes critical of religion. On Jan. 20 he posted a photo of a .38-caliber revolver that he said was loaded and belonged to him. “Yes, that is 1 pound 5.1 ounces for my loaded 38 revolver, its holster, and five extra rounds in a speedloader,” the post said. Police identified the victims in the Tuesday evening shooting as dental student Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23; his wife Yusor Mohammad, 21, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19.

Poverty in India is widespread, and a variety of methods have been proposed to measure it. The official measure of Indian government, before 2005, was based on food security and it was defined from per capita expenditure for a person to consume enough calories and be able to pay for associated essentials to survive. Since 2005, Indian government adopted the Tendulkar methodology which moved away from calorie anchor to a basket of goods and used rural, urban and regional minimum expenditure per capita necessary to survive.

More than 1.6 million Syrian children are refugees, the United Nations says. An upsurge in fighting has complicated aid efforts and driven some families deeper into despair. Here’s some background on the humanitarian needs in the fourth year of war in Syria. How many people have fled their homes? More than 6.5 million people are internally displaced (IDPs) within Syria, and 3.2 million have fled as refugees to neighboring countries. Does the number of refugees show any sign of slowing? No. On average, more than 100,000 Syrians register as refugees every month. Their main destinations are Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, and Iraq, though conflict in Iraq now discourages that option. The U.N. refugee agency anticipates 3.6 million registered refugees by the end of 2014.

After allowing for loopholes throughout the summer, Hungary effectively disabled its physical border defenses with Austria on 19 August 1989 and, in September, more than 13,000 East German tourists escaped through Hungary to Austria. This set up a chain of events. The Hungarians prevented many more East Germans from crossing the border and returned them to Budapest. These East Germans flooded the West German embassy and refused to return to East Germany. The East German government responded by disallowing any further travel to Hungary, but allowed those already there to return. This triggered a similar incident in neighboring Czechoslovakia. On this occasion, the East German authorities allowed them to leave, provided that they use a train that transited East Germany on the way. This was followed by mass demonstrations within East Germany itself. (See Monday demonstrations in East Germany.) The longtime leader of East Germany, Erich Honecker, resigned on 18 October 1989 and was replaced by Egon Krenz a few days later. Honecker had predicted in January of that year that the wall would stand for 50 or 100 more years if the conditions that had caused its construction did not change.

The damage to Gaza’s infrastructure from the current conflict is more severe than the destruction caused by either of the last two Gaza wars, according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (Unrwa) and other organizations with staff on the ground, like Oxfam and Human Rights Watch. The fighting has displaced about a fourth of Gaza’s population. Nearly 60,000 people have lost their homes, and the number of people taking shelter in Unrwa schools is nearly five times as many as in 2009. The cost to Gaza’s already fragile economy will be significant: the 2009 conflict caused losses estimated at $4 billion — almost three times the size of Gaza’s annual gross domestic product.

High blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to and make worse many complications of diabetes, including diabetic eye disease and kidney disease. Most people with diabetes develop high blood pressure during their life. Having diabetes makes high blood pressure and other heart and circulation problems more likely because diabetes damages arteries and makes them targets for hardening (atherosclerosis). Atherosclerosis can cause high blood pressure, which if not treated, can lead to blood vessel damage, stroke, heart failure, heart attack, or kidney failure. Compared to people with normal blood pressure readings, men and women with hypertension more often have: Coronary artery disease (heart disease) Strokes Peripheral vascular disease (hardening of the arteries in the legs and feet) Heart failure

Preventing and Managing High Blood Pressure and Diabetes

The kidneys are bean-shaped organs that serve several essential regulatory roles in vertebrate animals. They remove excess organic molecules (e.g., glucose) from the blood, and it is by this action that their best-known function is performed: the removal of waste products of metabolism (e.g., urea, though 90% of this is reabsorbed along the nephron.) They are essential in the urinary system and also serve homeostatic functions such as the regulation of electrolytes, maintenance of acid–base balance, and regulation of blood pressure (via maintaining salt and water balance). They serve the body as a natural filter of the blood, and remove water soluble wastes, which are diverted to the urinary bladder. In producing urine, the kidneys excrete wastes such as urea and ammonium, and they are also responsible for the reabsorption of water, glucose, and amino acids. The kidneys also produce hormones including calcitriol, erythropoietin, and the enzyme renin, the latter of which indirectly acts on the kidney in negative feedback.

Pakistan sealed a historic first series victory over Australia in 20 years after completing a 356-run win in the second Test. Resuming on 143-4 and needing to bat out three sessions to force a draw, Australia, set a 603-run target, folded for 246 in their second innings after lunch on the fifth and final day in Abu Dhabi. Steve Smith missed a fighting hundred by just three runs but added an invaluable 107 in a fifth-wicket stand with Mitchell Marsh, who fell after scoring 47 as the duo defied Pakistan for a major part of the morning session. But Australia lost five wickets in quick succession after lunch and could not avoid a series defeat for the first time since losing 1-0 in Pakistan in 1994. Left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar was the pick of the Pakistani bowlers, claiming 5-120 while Yasir Shah took 3-44 as they demolished the tourists on a weary pitch at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. "It's really an honour for me to lead this side, the way everybody played," said Misbah-ul Haq, who equalled the most wins record by a Pakistani captain with 14. Imran Khan and Javed Miandad also won 14 Tests as captains. "Every individual performed and I'm really happy about that. I can't describe my feeling. "We were working really hard and playing good cricket but not winning, so it's really good." Misbah, declared man of the match, set the world record for the fastest half-century and equalled the feat of fastest century in all Test cricket during his 101 not out on Sunday, capping a memorable Test match.

This article aims to demonstrate the need for Israeli and Palestinian extremists to be removed from power and for the UN to be restructured so that there is peace between Israel and Palestine. The construction of peace can only happen in the Palestine region if the Jewish people in Israel and throughout the world, as well as the Palestinians, politically repel the extremists who exercise power in their territories and establish governments that seek conciliation between the Jewish and Palestinian peoples. It can be said that there is only one solution to the conflict between Palestine and Israel: on the one hand, Israel needs to accept the constitution of the Palestinian State, seek a fair and negotiated solution regarding Jerusalem and the fate of Palestinian refugees and end the settlements Jews in the West Bank and, on the other, Palestinians need to recognize the State of Israel because neither Palestinians nor Israelis can impose their will on each other. Neither the right-wing extremists who govern Israel nor the Palestinian extremist groups will be able to impose their will by force of arms in Palestine. It is unlikely that the conflict between Palestinians and Jews will be resolved today because existing international institutions are not capable of building a negotiated solution to the conflict between these two peoples and between Israel, Iran and the Arab countries. This means that there is an urgent need to restructure the international system to resolve the conflict between Israel and Palestine, between Russia and Ukraine and all international conflicts that may occur in the future. The time has come for humanity to promote the construction of world peace and to exercise control over its destiny. To achieve these objectives, it is urgent to restructure the UN with a view to transforming it into a democratic government of the world that constitutes the only means of survival for the human species.
