United Nations Video: Nigeria, Myanmar, Climate & other topics - Daily Briefing (14 June 2021)

Related Videos On: Nigeria, Myanmar, Climate & other topics - Daily Briefing (14 June 2021)

Noon briefing by Farhan Haq, Deputy Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: - G7 - Syria - Security Council  - Nigeria - Burkina Faso - Ethiopia - Myanmar - UN Central Emergency Response Fund - Ecuador/Covax - Climate - William Swing - World Blood Donor Day - Press Encounters Tomorrow NIGERIA The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says it continues to receive alarming reports of clashes between insurgent groups and Nigerian Armed Forces in Dikwa in Borno State, as well as reports of armed groups and military personnel attacking and harassing internally displaced people living in camps. Some IDPs have started moving out of a camp in Dikwa and are settling in neighbouring host communities due to these recent attacks. Following violence last week, military personnel allegedly conducted a spontaneous search at the camp, with some displaced people assaulted and more than 20 shelters set on fire. Humanitarian work has been impacted by these stepped-up clashes. Our colleagues at the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs continue to follow up on the situation and advocate with military high command on the need for military operations and personnel to comply on civilian protection and human rights. MYANMAR On Myanmar, more than four months since the military took over the Government, our colleagues on the ground remain deeply concerned over the security forces’ use of violence, with reports of deaths and injuries on a daily basis. The UN Country Team said that at least 861 women, children and men have been killed across Myanmar since February 1st, while thousands more have been injured. More than 4,800 people are under detention – including politicians, authors, human rights defenders, teachers, health care workers, civil servants, journalists, monks, celebrities and ordinary citizens. Our colleagues in Myanmar again call on security forces to protect civilians, as widespread and systematic breaches of human rights law – such as extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detention, torture and ill treatment, and enforced disappearance – continue. CLIMATE Today, the UN Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action released its first Progress Report, which details climate action milestones in the fashion sector. The report shows that since its inception in 2018, the Charter has seen considerable progress on industry-wide climate ambition. This includes growing the signatory base to 125 members, who now represent USD $450 billion in revenue and over 10 per cent of total fashion industry greenhouse gas emissions. The Charter also requires its signatories to publicly disclose their emissions. So far, 70 per cent of signatories submitted climate disclosures with one third reporting for the first time in 2020. In addition, 38 Charter signatories have set - or have committed to setting - science-based targets. The report also makes recommendations in specific areas such as increasing the use of renewable energy in the supply chain, phasing out coal in manufacturing, and promoting broader climate action and consumer engagement.

Video Message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on the International Albinism Awareness Day 2021 (13 June). On International Albinism Awareness Day, I reiterate my solidarity with persons with albinism. This year’s theme is Strength Beyond All Odds. It reflects the resilience, perseverance and achievements of people with albinism in the face of pervasive misconceptions, discrimination and violence. Despite these obstacles to well-being and security, leaders of organizations representing persons with albinism continue to work hard to support the most vulnerable. I am encouraged that persons with albinism are increasingly taking their rightful place in decision-making platforms around the world, leading to meaningful commitments, such as the Plan of Action on Albinism in Africa. And I welcome the work of the United Nations independent expert on albinism, in promoting the rights of persons with albinism. Yet, much remains to be done. There is deep need to demystify the condition and end discrimination. I take this opportunity to urge all nations and communities to protect and fulfil the human rights of all persons with albinism and provide necessary support and care.

Gay men and those who identify as men who have sex with men (MSM) were barred from donating blood or plasma in Canada starting in the 1980s after what was known as the "tainted blood scandal."

There were also widespread Palestinian protests Friday in the occupied West Bank, where Israeli forces shot and killed 11 people.

Related Videos On: Could mRNA vaccines be used to combat other diseases like cancer?

The use of messenger RNA technology (mRNA) in the creation of COVID-19 vaccines have made a considerable impact in the fight against the novel coronavirus, with the first doses being given to people less than a year after the pandemic was declared. But mRNA technology is not new; not only is it used within our own cells to make proteins, but it has been used in testing against other diseases and viruses like cancer and ebola for well over a decade. And with the success of its use in COVID-19 vaccines, it could mean a breakthrough in how to use it going forward. As Sean Previl explains, while it doesn't mean a vaccine for something like cancer is coming as quickly as it did for COVID-19, it could still have a big impact on the fight against other diseases and viruses going forward.
