Average life-expectancy globally has increased by five-and-a-half years since the turn of the century, and women outlive men “everywhere”, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday [4 April 2019].

“Whether it’s homicide, road accidents, suicide, cardiovascular disease – time and time again, men are doing worse than women”, said Dr. Richard Cibulskis, main author of WHO’s World Health Statistics Overview 2019.
Apart from the average increase from 66.5 years, to 72 years overall, its findings also show that “healthy” life expectancy – the number of years individuals live in full health – increased from 58.5 years in 2000, to 63.3 years in 2016.

3 April 2019 (Wall Street International)* — Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump have several things in common. Netanyahu is currently facing the prospect of indictment on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust. Trump is facing numerous charges based upon the efforts of Congressional investigative committees, and investigations at both the State (New York) and federal levels. The allegations, which are still in the formative stages, indicate Trump has obstructed justice, committed campaign finance violations, and has abused his power while in office.

In 1951 the Treaty of Paris was signed to form the political and economic integration of 6 European countries: West Germany, Italy, France and the Benelux. The treaty advocated stability in the continent giving birth to the European Coal and Steel Community.
Cristina Cabrejas-Artola
At the time coal and steel were the main energy sources in Europe, but Britain refrained from signing the treaty.
Winston Churchill, the UK’s Prime Minister who had led Europe to victory defeating Nazi Germany in 1945, had already envisioned an alternative to coal. In fact, Churchill had settled to transform the UK’s energy from coal to oil.
It was essential, therefore, to colonise the Middle East, a region that had recently been discovered to be rich in oil.
Britain’s political, financial and sovereign interests lied in Africa, Asia and now the Middle East. Britain’s defence security, however, continued to be in the heart of Europe against the threat of the political ideology of Communism.

4 April 2019 — Trump’s policies and motives behind them require further understanding, along with their impact on the American internal affairs, and, more importantly, on the international and regional situation. This also includes the major issue in the Middle East, the conflict with the Zionist project.

Rome (IOM)* — With regard to its activities in Libya, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) would like to clarify that we follow the UN position indicating that Libya cannot yet be considered a safe port.
IOM in Libya is present at the disembarkation points to deliver primary assistance to migrants that have been rescued at sea.
However, following their disembarkation, migrants are transferred to detention centres under the responsibility of the Libyan Directorate for Combatting Illegal Migration (DCIM) over which the Organization has no authority or oversight.
The detention of men, women and children is arbitrary. The unacceptable and inhumane conditions in these detention centres are well documented, and IOM continues to call for alternative solutions to this systematic detention.
