UKRAINE
Turning to Ukraine. Our humanitarian colleagues there telling us that the offices of at least two humanitarian non-governmental organizations were hit during attacks on the city of Donetsk, in the part of the country currently under Russian control. These incidents took place on the 5th and 6th of December, and one of the buildings was hit twice, on two consecutive days, that’s according to aid workers in Donetsk.
Our humanitarian colleagues note that the attacks not only damaged the facilities, normally used for aid distribution, but also the vehicles of the organizations which were parked there. Aid workers were on site and preparing packages of aid for distribution when the buildings were hit. There were no casualties inside the buildings, but outside the attacks resulted in the death of at least one civilian and left another injured.
Our colleagues stress that International Humanitarian Law is clear that attacks must never target civilians or civilian infrastructure and constant care must be taken to spare them.
YEMEN
The Director of the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), Ilene Cohn, concluded a week-long visit to Yemen, where she visited as you know Hudaydah, one of the most mine-affected governorates in Yemen.
At a press conference today, she reiterated the urgency of accelerating mine action efforts and stressed the responsibility of the authorities to protect the civilian population. She reiterated the calls by the UN Security Council last month for all possible precautions to be taken to protect the civilian population of Yemen from explosive ordnance, including identifying, marking, and clearing dangerous areas.
ROHINGYA REFUGEES
We want to echo here a call by our colleagues in Geneva, the UN Refugee Agency today is urging countries in the region of the Adaman Sea to immediately rescue and safely disembark a group of about 200 Rohingya refugees in distress, reported to be drifting in a vessel off the coast of Thailand.
Reports suggest the boat has been adrift since 1 December, after its engines broke down. Those on board have been without food and water for days and are suffering extreme dehydration.
UNHCR said that in line with international obligations under the Law of the Sea and longstanding maritime traditions, the duty to rescue persons in distress at sea should be upheld, irrespective of nationality or legal status.

United Nations Video: Youth Environmental Activists with UN chief at #COP15 #shorts
"I'm always inspired by young environmental activists fighting to protect people & planet."
- Antonio Guterres says the leadership of youth in efforts to end the war against nature gives him hope at UN Biodiversity Conference #COP15.
-----
Secretary-General António Guterres on Tuesday denounced the existing global financial system as “morally bankrupt” and called on youth leaders gathered for a UN summit in Montreal, Canada, to push for justice so that all countries, especially in the developing world, have the tools needed to curb biodiversity loss and restore the balance between humans and nature.
“Beyond biodiversity, beyond climate, there is a central question in the world today and that is justice. We live in a system in which both the economic rules and the financial architecture are morally bankrupt,” the UN chief told a side event organized by the Global Youth Biodiversity Network and other youth groups, ahead of the official opening of COP15, the latest edition of the UN Biodiversity Conference.
This COP, the Fifteenth Conference of Parties to the UN Convention on Biodiversity (CBD), runs through 19 December and is expected to see the adoption of a post-2020 roadmap for the conservation, protection, restoration and sustainable management of biodiversity and ecosystems for the next decade.
“Your leadership [in tackling], the war against nature” the Secretary-General told the youth representatives, “is the best signal of hope that this battle is worth fighting and that we have a chance to win. The youth are on the frontline of the battle to rescue humankind... mobilizing even when governments are reluctant to take the situation seriously.”
The world’s young people are making civil society and the business community understand that this is the moment to reverse course, he stated, adding: “This is the moment to make peace with nature. This is the moment to consider that biodiversity and climate are the two defining issues of our time and these are two battles we cannot afford to lose.”

United Nations Video: Biodiversity, South Sudan, Myanmar & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (7 December 2022)
Noon briefing by Stephanie Tremblay, Associate Spokesperson for the Secretary-General.
Highlights:

- Security Council
- Central African Republic
- Myanmar
- Resident Coordinator
- International Civil Aviation Day
- Noon Briefing Guest Tomorrow
SECRETARY-GENERAL/CANADA
Today, in Montreal, in a press conference on the sidelines of COP15, the Secretary-General reiterated the urgent need to address biodiversity. He called on Member States and the private sector to move effectively and focus on the future of humanity’s relationship with nature. “Ecosystems have become playthings of profit,” the Secretary-General said, “and human activities are laying waste to once-thriving forests, jungles, farmland, oceans, rivers, seas and lakes.” Humanity’s war on nature, he said, is ultimately a war on ourselves.
The Secretary-General added that climate action and the protection of biodiversity are two sides of the same coin. In response to questions, he noted the linkages between climate change and the loss of biodiversity and stressed the need to deal with both.
Earlier in the day, the Secretary-General met with a number of other constituencies, including local and indigenous populations, women’s groups and youth groups among others. He listened to their concerns regarding the loss of biodiversity and related issues, especially human rights.
The Secretary-General also had meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
SECURITY COUNCIL
This morning, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Sudan and Head of the UN Integrated Transition Assistance Mission in Sudan (UNITAMS), Volker Perthes, briefed Council members. He said that the dynamics in the country over the past couple of weeks, including the signing of the political framework agreement, are a sign that Sudan may find a way out of the crisis and embark on a more sustainable transitional phase.
However, Mr. Perthes also warned that the situation remains precarious, with thousands having been displaced by violence this year and many having suffered the impacts of floods and inflation. He called on Council members and the international community to support Sudan in a successful and peaceful transition that is Sudanese-owned and led.

United Nations Video: Ukraine: Widespread Death Distraction and Displacement - Security Council | United Nations
Martin Griffiths, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Emergency Relief Coordinator, briefs the Security Council on the situation in Ukraine.
The United Nations top humanitarian official today (6 Dec) said attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure “have left millions of people without access to heat, electricity and water, adding another dangerous dimension to the humanitarian crisis caused by the war.”
Martin Griffiths, who is the United Nations Under Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, said, “in preparation for the winter, humanitarians have provided more than 630,000 civilians with different kinds of direct winter assistance, and 400 generators have been distributed to critical facilities.”
He said, “since October, the sustained attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure have created a new level of need that impacts the whole country and exacerbates and increases the needs caused by the war.”
The scale of the destruction of the electrical and heating infrastructure, Griffiths added, “requires the international community's enhanced support to the Government of Ukraine beyond what humanitarians could provide.”

Indiana's lawsuit also raises the question about data and privacy surrounding TikTok users information and how much is sent back to its owners in China.

BBC News Video: Death after ambulance delay and fears this winter will ‘topple’ the NHS - BBC Newsnight
Newsnight has spent months investigating what's going on at different NHS trusts in England and Wales, and the impact it’s having on patients.
Our revelations centre on the West Midlands Ambulance Service where this year so far 37 patients have died after an ambulance was delayed in getting to them.
In the whole of 2020, only one person died before the ambulance turned up after a delay.
Darren Childs waited 47 minutes for an ambulance when his one-year-old daughter had a seizure, far beyond the 7 minute response target for such a life or death call. He fears ‘we are losing the NHS’ and that this winter’s pressures will ‘topple’ it.
Chief Correspondent David Grossman reports.

BBC News Video: Why did Twitter suppress stories about Hunter Biden before the 2020 US election? - BBC Newsnight
What happened on Twitter in the run up to the 2020 US Presidential election?It's a question Republicans are demanding answers to, as is Elon Musk.
The new owner of Twitter has fired James Baker, one of its most senior lawyers. Musk said he had been fired "in light of concerns about Baker's possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue."
This relates to the “Twitter Files” - internal files concerning Twitter's content moderation practices, including relating to the suppression of stories regarding the laptop of Hunter Biden, son of US President Joe Biden.

Global Video: Breast cancer survivors say issues like early menopause, loss of identity often overlooked
Just days ahead of her 40th birthday, Hilary Boswell received a terrifying diagnosis – She had breast cancer.
She received a unilateral mastectomy, a surgery she didn’t necessarily want but felt pressured into by her surgeon. It left her with one breast and, she says, it changed the way she saw herself.
“I remember struggling so much with the idea of walking around with one boob,” she said. “I just really felt like I knew what I wanted… and yeah, I wish I had done it, “ she added, referring to a double mastectomy.
Like Boswell, other cancer survivors sometimes struggle to accept the changes brought on by surgery or chemotherapy – such as early menopause, or loss of libido. And they don’t always get the support they need.
As Alyssa Julie reports in our series Against all Odds, some survivors and experts are asking health professionals to shed more light on the impact of a cancer diagnosis on the body and the mind.

Global Video: Outside the margins: BIPOC and LGBTQ2 breast cancer patients rewrite the narrative
People from racialized and 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities are underrepresented in the institution of cancer care, and they’re slipping through the cracks because of it.
“I really felt like my issues didn’t matter. And I didn’t feel confident in making a decision about a life-changing surgery because I didn’t see myself represented,” said Michelle Audoin, the founder of Uncovered: A Breast Recognition Project. “The fact that I didn’t see myself in this space and my questions weren’t being addressed, it led to depression.”
For breast cancer, a reproductive cancer, the disparity can be especially apparent for the latter group. One thing is clear: it’s time to rewrite the narrative of what a typical cancer survivor looks like.
To do so, members of the community across Canada are fighting against these gaps, from diversifying what breast cancer looks like to writing a graphic memoir.

Global Video: "It's part of everybody's history": CNE's post-pandemic return revives multi-generational traditions
The Canadian National Exhibition (CNE) is back in Toronto after a two-year pandemic hiatus, and with its return, small businesses that struggled with the closure are back.
With revenue going from 100 to 0 when the Exhibition closed for two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, being back at the CNE this year is extra-special for patrons and especially the small family businesses passed down from generation to generation.
“As much as this is a generational business for me and a family business, it’s also something that is an experience that generations have gone to the CNE and enjoyed,” said Sam Scanga, owner of several food booths at the CNE he runs with his family, referring to attendees’ love of his Primo Spaghetti 1.99.

Global Video: Are labour unions making a comeback in North America?
Throughout the pandemic, North Americans have been rethinking their relationship with work. In fact, a recently released survey found that about a quarter of Canadians have taken on a new job in the past few months.
Many more who have stayed at their post have begun thinking about ways to improve working conditions.
And then there's workers at places like Starbucks and Apple, some of whom have sought to form unions or join unions. In Canada, three Starbucks in B.C. have voted to join the United Steelworkers Union, as has a café in Calgary. Five Lethbridge Starbucks locations are awaiting the results of similar votes.
Meanwhile, unions have reported an increase in the number of calls from workers interested in joining a union, according to Canadian Labour Congress President Bea Bruske.
“Those workers who are often service sector workers in restaurants, retail locations, have had to deal with the public, have not necessarily had access to personal protective equipment during the pandemic, have not had access to paid sick time. And quite frankly, their wages are not keeping up to inflation,” She explains.
Alyssa Julie explains what’s behind workers’ renewed push to unionize their workplaces and whether it’s likely to lead to a stronger labour movement.
