Officials from biosecurity, fisheries, conservation and customs in Seychelles participated in a familiarisation workshop on the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The workshop, held at the Savoy Resort and Spa, is part of the steps to implement the convention in the country and it aims to step up efforts to fight the illegal trade of wildlife. CITES is a global agreement among governments to regulate or ban international trade in species under threat. In Seychelles, it is managed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Climate Change and the Environment and part of the ministry's role is to ensure that the trade is legal, sustainable and can be traced. The director for biosecurity conservation and the local CITES focal point, Ashley Dias, told reporters that the workshop is for the local partners to have open and frank discussions. During the session, the officials were shown presentations of the various roles the agencies involved have in the implementation. «This morning we discovered that even some of the officers involved in upholding the convention locally are not aware of what it is or entails. This shows that we have a lot of education work to carry out in that area so that everyone knows what it is,» she added. Through the talks, the authorities hope to identify the existing gaps and how they can work together to implement the convention nationally. The gaps identified so far were a lack of human and financial resources and the need for more training so that the officers concerned may identify species being traded. «CITES is a very important convention and as we know there is illegal trade in flora and fauna taking place now, this is the perfect time to talk about how this is happening,» said Dias. She said the authorities have «noticed an increase in illegal wildlife trade, as this sector is even more lucrative than trafficking in illegal drugs. We are working closely with our partners to find out what avenues are being used to do so and what countries where such trades are taking place.» The Trade of Wild Flora and Fauna Act came into force in 2021 allowing authorities to confiscate specimens and fine those found trading illegally. «What remains now for us is to be able to detect the illegal trade of flora and fauna, which at the moment is very alarming,» said Dias. She said there is a demand for endemic and rare species from Seychelles and in recent years there have been reports of illegal trading of the island nation's giant bronze gecko and potential illicit trading of the endemic Aldabra giant tortoise. Endemic to the Seychelles' island of Praslin's endangered coco-de-mer palm forests, the vulnerable giant bronze gecko seems more like a close relative of the Komodo dragon from the Galapagos Islands than a gecko. Dias added that although the authorities are detecting such cases there are many loopholes such as monitoring, control and surveillance in marine areas. The local CITES management authority says it plans to hold more training to equip all concerned with the tools needed to identify the various species being traded and know existing laws. «This is a constantly evolving topic and we have to ensure that as a small country, we are always on top of all the changes taking place,» said Dias.

Всё больше международных транзакций обходятся без посредничества доллара, что разрушает сложившийся после Второй мировой войны американский миропорядок, объясняет экономист и глава аналитического центра «Институт свобод» Шарль Гав в эфире Sud Radio. При этом он отмечает, что глобалисты сохраняют могущество, потому что контролируют мировые финансы, а благодаря рычагам давления могут влиять на политические решения в стране.

Большинство французских политиков смирились с ужасающим уровнем иммиграции, а Макрон старается угодить Зеленскому, разжигая войну НАТО против России. На этом фоне всё чаще вспоминают величайшего правителя Франции, который шёл против мнения других, чтобы вывести страну на новый уровень. И сегодня его примеру больше всего следует партия Марин Ле Пен, считает The American Conservative.

НАТО риторически поднимает ставки в украинском конфликте. Предлагается отправка войск на Украину, использование ПВО альянса для защиты западных областей, размещение украинских F-16 на аэродромах военного блока. Экс-генерал бундесвера Роланд Катер не понимает такой «спирали обострения». В эфире Die Welt он жалуется, что на Западе никто даже не пытается снизить накал конфликта с Россией.

Конференция по Украине в Швейцарии уже точно не принесёт мира, уверена Neue Zürcher Zeitung. По мнению швейцарской газета, новые условия, выдвинутые Владимиром Путиным для окончания конфликта, хотя и могут казаться «нереалистичными», их придётся воспринимать всерьёз. Потому что большинство населения России согласно с этими требованиями и провалившаяся встреча в Швейцарии не переубедит россиян.

У Германии в резервах ещё 300 танков Leopard-2, по оценке Франка Хауна, главы оружейного концерна KNDS, с этим страна «ещё может оборонять Аугсбург, а Мюнхен и Берлин уже нет». В интервью Frankfurter Allgemeine он указывает, что, несмотря на все заявления с 2022 года, Берлин заказал всего 18 новых Leopard-2. Кроме того, растут проблемы с расходными материалами для производства, например, Германия больше не варит сталь для танковой брони, и её приходится вести из Швеции.

“야 쟤는 애자보다도 못 뛰냐?”6월 5일 서울 송파구여성축구장에서 열린 송파구70대축구단과 송파강동구70·80대혼합팀 친선 경기. 스탠드에서 경기를 지켜보던 송파구70대축구단 회원들이 필드에서 뛰는 한 회원이 답답한 플레이를 하자 이렇게 야유를 보냈다. 송파구70대축구단 ‘홍일점’ 정애자 씨(70) 보다도 못 뛴다는 비난 섞인 말이다. 실제로 왼쪽 수비수로 나선 정 씨는 강철 체력을 바탕으로 상대 공격을 차단하고 미드필드로 패스도 잘 연결했다.정 씨는 2012년 서울 송파구 풍납초교 운동장을 달리다 축구장 밖으로 나온 공을 안으로 차주면서 축구를 접했다. 지금은 생활축구 송파구70대축구단의 유일한 여자 선수로 녹색그라운드를 누비고 있다.“제가 풍납동에 오래 살아서 아는 오빠들이 많았죠. 학창시절부터 활동적이라 마라톤대회도 나가고 운동 많이 했어요. 새벽 운동할 때 동네 오빠들이 공을 차 달라고 하기에 자주 차 줬는데 어느 날 ‘그냥 우리랑 함께 공 차자’고 하는 겁니다. 그래서 ‘

A homeowner was left at a loss after he was prevented from exiting his property due to a van parked in front of his gate. In a TikTok video uploaded on Monday (June 10), Thomas Tong, who lives in a landed estate at Upper Paya Lebar, shared details of the incident, which occurred past midnight last Saturday. «I realised there was a van parked right here,» Tong said, referring to the road right outside his front gate.  The 36-year-old property agent had planned on driving to a nearby gym to work out, but was unable to do so because the van was «directly obstructing» his driveway, preventing him from getting his vehicle out of his home. Stating that he «knows for a fact» that this is an issue for the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to resolve, he claimed that the agency doesn't operate 24 hours and would therefore not be able to help him. Desperate, he called the police to seek assistance. When they didn't arrive, it prompted a second call from Tong. This time, the police informed him that it was an issue he had to take up with LTA.

SINGAPORE - A 72-year-old man was fined $600,000 for converting 11 private residential properties into unauthorised dormitories that he then rented out to migrant workers. One of the units housed 23 foreigners. Inspections carried out between January 2016 and April 2018 found that Tan Hock Keng had carved multiple rooms in the residences, which he then packed with workers, who had to live in unhygienic conditions. At a unit in Geylang, enforcement officers from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) found that the floor and walls of the kitchen and toilets were badly stained. They also discovered bedbug stains in a bedroom of another unit nearby. On May 30, Tan was convicted of three charges, with eight additional charges for similar offences at other private residential properties taken into consideration. The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) in a statement on June 14 said that MOM enforcement officers who inspected properties linked to Tan found that the number of occupants «significantly exceeded» the authority's occupancy cap rules.

There's a durian flash sale in town and people have been quick to act on it.  Customers snapped up Malaysia kampung durians — retailing at $1.95 each — in about an hour at a FairPrice outlet in Bedok on Friday (June 14) morning. It was the first day of a three-day promotion held there. The durians, weighing between 600g and 800g, were on sale as part of the FairPrice Annual Durian Fair. Before the sale started at 9am, there was already a long queue outside the supermarket at Block 212 Bedok North Street 1, 8world reported. First in the line was a 71-year-old woman surnamed Wu, who brought her three grandchildren with her. «My grandchildren like to eat durians so I queued up to buy some,» she told the Chinese publication. They managed to snag a total of 12 durians, thanks to two people who decided not to go ahead with the purchase and passed their queue numbers to the family. Another woman surnamed Chen, who was in the shopping in the area that morning, chanced upon the flash sale and decided to join the queue.
