The London Ambulance Service (LAS) has been told by City Hall to improve the ethnic diversity of its workforce.

The request was just one of several recommendations made by the London Assembly’s health committee.

Only one in five LAS employees (20 per cent) come from a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic background, despite almost one in two (46.2 per cent) people in London having a non-white background.

In their letter to the chief executive, the committee pointed out that the 20 per cent of minority ethnic staff were disproportionately found in the organisation’s lowest-paid roles. In the lowest four employment bands, minority representation was at 40.9 per cent, compared to 15.9 per cent in the highest bands.

Committee chair Krupesh Hirani said: “London is one of the most diverse cities in the world and our blue light services should reflect the cultures and communities they serve.

В то время, как финское государственное телевидение https://yle.fi/novosti на русском языке пишет, то что пишет, на финском они пишут что-то другое. Я прочитал в шведском переводе, а затем воспользовался гугл-переводчиком:

По словам финского офицера, Украине не хватает умения наступать, поэтому война закончится горькой неожиданностью - "Россия не проиграет эту войну".

В России формируется добровольческий отряд имени Богдана Хмельницкого. Отчего же не Бандеры, Петлюры или какого-нибудь атамана Ангела?

По меньшей мере 36 (57) человек погибли и и еще десятки останутся инвалидами, когда пассажирский поезд, перевозивший более 350 человек, столкнулся с товарным составом во вторник незадолго до полуночи в центральной Греции.

Пассажирский поезд следовал из Афин во второй по величине город Греции Салоники, известный своими фестивалями и бурной культурной жизнью. Столкновение последовало за проходившим в выходные дни общенациональным карнавалом, который закончился в понедельник общенациональным праздником.

– А что вы… натворили?

Дед охотно ответил.

В 1933 году он с братом поехал погулять в Москву, в парк Горького. Зашли в ресторан, который находился тогда под парашютной вышкой. Там их внимание привлёк человек провинциального вида, который, расплачиваясь с официантом, вынул из кошелька целую пачку тридцатирублевых ассигнаций – «красненьких». Подмигнув друг другу, братья пошли за ним.

«Лапотник» шёл по набережной и время от времени приставал к одиноким женщинам. Братья подвалили к нему и, пообещав познакомить с интересными дамами, повели в Александровский сад.

Грета протестует против энергии ветра

Активистка Грета Тунберг присоединилась к продолжающимся демонстрациям ПРОТИВ ветроэнергетики в Норвегии. Национальная конфедерация норвежских саамов проводит компанию протеста против строительства крупных ветряных электростанций на олених пастбищах в окрестностях Тронхейма.

С четверга на прошлой неделе молодые саамские активисты блокируют здание министерства нефти и энергетики в Осло. Они протестуют против «Fosen Vind» — одного из крупнейших в Европе ветроэнергетических проектов, построенных к северу и югу от Тронхейма в Норвегии.

Four verses of the national anthem are now considered official:

Poland has not yet perished,

Из воспоминаний М. Ардова об Ахматовой

В августе 1946 года она шла по ленинградской улице и вдруг увидела, что по другой стороне идёт Зощенко. Заметив Ахматову, он бросился к ней через мостовую. Их прежние, тогда весьма далекие отношения, ничего подобного не предполагали. Схватив Анну Андреевну за руку, стал сбивчиво говорить: «Что же делать? Как быть? Неужели терпеть? Неужели это - терпеть?». «Конечно, терпеть», - произнесла Ахматова, не понимая о чём он спрашивает. Зощенко стал горячо её благодарить: «Вы даже не представляете, как вы меня поддержали...», затем попрощался и они расстались.

Prime Minister Netanyahu rejects the reports that Israel agreed to a construction freeze. "Contrary to the tweets, construction and recognition in Judea and Samaria will continue according to the original planning and construction schedule, without any changes. There is and will not be any freeze," Netanyahu said.

MK Yuli Edelstein (Likud), Chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, rejects the reports that Israel has agreed to a construction freeze in Judea and Samaria.

"I say this briefly so that there are no misunderstandings: construction will not be frozen. 2.5 million Israelis voted right. This is the will of the people. Democracy," Edelstein said.

The American State Department issued an official statement that at the Aqaba Conference an Israeli commitment was agreed not to approve new housing units in Judea and Samaria for the next four months and not to approve the recognition of settlements in the next six months.

It is now clear what kind of new world is being prepared for us, and it will happen much sooner than we think. Great shifts can often happen suddenly, just look at the Bolshevik revolution, Nazi Germany, Mao’s cultural revolution, or the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia.

Every “brave new world” consists of constraining freedoms, soon followed by a transformation of meanings, values, principles, the hierarchy of prestige, a questioning of traditions and customs, and social engineering. The world must be turned upside down.

The old history is to be trashed and traditional modes of social organization are to be expunged. The individual is to feel powerless and swept along with the inevitable change taking place.

Nearly half of Canadians aged 18-to-34 support socialism

According to a Leger poll commissioned for the Fraser Institute, 42% of all Canadians support socialism as their preferred economic system. The number rises to 50% among Canadians aged 18-24, and it drops to 38% support among Canadians over 55.

More than four in ten young Canadians believe Canada should embrace socialism as its ideal economic system, though few want to pay more taxes to fund loftier spending.

A Fraser Institute report released Wednesday found that Canadians aged 18-to-34 had a more favourable impression of socialism (46%) than capitalism (39%), communism (13%), and fascism (8%).

Almost half of adults in EU never exercise

Inactivity and a lack of exercise are having an adverse effect on the health of Europeans at a time when healthcare costs are soaring, according to a recent report by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Regular physical activity is one of the most important things people can do to improve both their physical and mental health, however, the percentage of adults that do insufficient physical activity remains high in the European Union. Only a quarter of adults over the age of 55 play sports or exercise at least once a week.

More than one in three adults do not meet physical activity guidelines — the WHO recommends 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week — while almost half of the adults in the EU (45%) report that they never exercise or play sport. And this while healthcare costs are reaching over 15% of the EU’s total expenditure.

UK food shortage warning: Carrots, apples and pears could vanish from supermarket shelves entirely in new 'supply shock'

Tomatoes, peppers, salad leaves, cucumbers, aubergine, broccoli and berries are all hard to find and worse is to come with carrots and even apples and pears running out

The National Farmers’ Union (NFU) has warned that shortages of some fruit and vegetables in UK supermarkets could be “the tip of the iceberg”.

Soaring energy bills exacerbated by the war in Ukraine have also put off some UK vegetable growers, he added.

The West is making a huge mistake in feeding Ukraine with weapons, Argentinian left-wing activist Adolfo Pérez Esquivel has told the Die Welt newspaper in an interview.

Speaking from his studio in Buenos Aires, the Nobel Peace Prize winner called the ongoing conflict in Ukraine a proxy war between the United States, NATO, and the West on one side and Russia and China on the other.

“The Ukrainian people are only the victims,” Perez Esquivel told the German newspaper.

Esquivel sees the Ukrainian president as the main culprit for the ongoing armed conflict: “Sending tanks to support a Nazi friend like Zelensky is dangerous. You are feeding a monster.” In the Argentine’s view, Zelensky is not defending his homeland, but rather sacrificing his own people to the interests of NATO and the United States.
