Play Video: Civilian Protection Amid Rising Numbers of Those Reported Missing in Conflict Zones | United Nations

“The number of people affected by armed conflict, including those reported missing in this context has only continued to increase,” said Khaled Khiari, Assistant Secretary-General for the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific. Briefing the Security Council today (May 15), Khaled Khiari said that in 2024 alone, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) registered 56,000 new cases of missing persons. “There is no comprehensive figure for those missing in conflict, but we know enough that the situation is dire,” he said. Khiari welcomed the recent release of Edan Alexander, an American-Israeli national previously held hostage in Gaza, calling it “a source of hope.” He added, “I echo the Secretary-General’s words of profound relief that Mr. Alexander was able to return to his family and loved ones after this harrowing ordeal. However, many more remain missing. An estimated 58 Israeli hostages, 35 of them presumed dead, still remain unaccounted for in Gaza.” He also voiced concern over the situation of Palestinians detained by Israeli authorities since October 2023, noting that many of them “remain unaccounted for.” On Ukraine, Khiari reported that following Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, large numbers of civilians in Russian-occupied territories have been detained, with some held incommunicado. “According to OHCHR, some of these cases may amount to enforced disappearances,” he said. “An unspecified number of Ukrainian civilians, including Ukrainian children, have also been reportedly transferred to the Russian Federation.” Sung Eui Lee, Chief Director of the Korean War Abductees’ Family Union (KWAFU), said, “Family is one of the most fundamental values for human beings made to be together, and the abduction, a crime of enforced disappearance is a serious crime against humanity that produces ongoing tragedy.” Ruby Chen, father of hostage Itay Chen, said, “What kind of human beings take deceased people and use them as negotiation chips? Who denies the deceased the last basic human dignity that they deserve?” He described the withholding of information about his son as “a form of slow and enduring psychological torture.” Russia’s Deputy Permanent Representative Maria Zabolotskaya said, “Even such an important matter as the search for missing persons is being used as a means of political pressure.” She added, “This approach is counterproductive and leads to the degradation of humanitarian cooperation.” Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon said, “So many in this Council, so many righteous nations, have said next to nothing. There are currently 58 hostages being held in Gaza, some alive, some murdered. All denied the rights. All denied access. All denied the dignity that should never be in question.”

Play Video: World Economic Situation and Prospects (WESP) report - Press Conference | United Nations

“It's been a nervous time for the global economy,” a Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) Senior official said. At the launch the World Economic Situation and Prospects mid-year report today (16 May), Shantanu Mukherjee, Director, Economic Analysis and Policy Division of UN DESA said, “It's been a nervous time for the global economy. In January this year, we were expecting two years of stable growth, and since then, prospects have diminished, accompanied by significant volatility across various dimensions. So now we are forecasting global economic growth at 2.4 percent for 2025 and 2.5 percent for 2026. This is the downward revision of point four percentage points each year back from what we were expecting in January.” He also said, “This is not a recession, but the slowing down is affecting most countries and regions. Among the most severely hit are the least developed countries whose growth prospects for 2025 have fallen from 4.6 to 4.1 which is a drop by a full half percentage point in just a few months. Now, that translates into a loss of billions in economic output for the most disadvantage of countries.” He continued, “With this most recent shock, their five-year cumulative growth since 2021 is expected to be over 1/4 smaller than it would have been had they just grown at the rate they were averaging before the pandemic. Now, these are growth prospects are compounding the challenges they already face, such as fall in ODA, limited fiscal space and high levels of debt. And many developing countries are also still grappling with high levels of inflation, even though this is gradually moderating in some countries.” He added, “At this point, the average effective tariff rates for the US around 14 percent which is about six times higher than they were at the start of the year. And trade policy uncertainty is a factor in itself. It remains elevated, having surged to its highest value in the last 10 years, multiple times higher than the previous week.” He highlighted, “With merchandise trade representing just over a fifth the world output, and US and China together accounting for about a quarter of total imports., there's no surprise that these changes reverberated across the world, and going beyond just tariffs, volatility and some rather unexpected co movements have happened in a range of economic and financial indicators.” He said, “The uncertainty makes it even more likely that investment growth across the world, which was already slowing from 3.5 percent in 23 to 2.8 percent in 24 will continue to fall. And just to relate it to something we're all familiar with for small and medium enterprises, for example, difficulty in accessing capital when most needed can be fatal, with long term impacts for those whose livelihoods depend on them. Often, these are women.” He reported, “Across the world, fiscal deficits are now increasing for a variety of reasons. Developed countries and other major economies can finance these deficits quite affordably, but for many developing countries, the fiscal situation is becoming increasingly challenging.” He also said, “But our forecast from the beginning of the year indicated that overall, the global economy was reasonably healthy, and we recognize also that when assessed in comparison to other recent shocks, such as the global financial crisis, we have a downgrade, but it's not as extreme. In the forecast that we will present in greater detail today, we are expecting that bilateral negotiations will lead to lower tariff levels, although these will not return to pre-February levels. However, despite this, an early and complete resolution of uncertainties would help individuals and businesses move forward with economic decision making with positive results in 25 and even bigger impacts in 2026.”

Donald Trump has dismissed hopes of progress at peace talks between Russia and Ukraine due to take place in Turkey. The US President told reporters that “nothing is going to happen until Putin and I get together ok?” Ukraine’s President Zelensky has arrived in Turkey and said he is ready for the planned talks. But he’s accused Vladimir Putin of not being serious about the process, after Russia made clear that the Russian president would not be travelling to Turkey for the negotiations. Meanwhile President Trump’s Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said he does not have high expectations of the peace talks, reiterating that there would be no progress until the two leaders held direct talks.

ODN Video: Intense Combat Footage Shows Hamas Ambushing IDF in Gaza

Play Video: Intense Combat Footage Shows Hamas Ambushing IDF in Gaza

Since a temporary ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas broke down in mid-March, intense fighting has resumed in the Gaza Strip. Both the IDF, and the military wing of Hamas, have posted a steady stream of videos showing their fighters in combat. While these clips are hard to independently verify, they do give us a unique perspective of the conflict on the ground. Here, we’ve gathered some of that combat footage, from the past two months. More than 19 months after Israel launched its ground campaign in Gaza, there are parts of the Strip it hasn’t brought under control. Fighting near the southern city of Rafah has been particularly fierce, with the al Qassam Brigades - Hamas’ military arm - launching a series of videos on what it calls ‘the gates of hell’ operation. These highly-edited clips show two separate ambushes on Israeli troops east of the city - which it claims killed and wounded several IDF soldiers. Despite Israel claiming to have almost broken the militant group’s power, Hamas fighters are now experienced in urban warfare, using this ruined landscape to their advantage. These videos, recorded by Israeli soldiers, show fighting at incredibly close range inside buildings. And in April, Hamas posted this video of another ambitious ambush on an Israeli vehicle convoy. For the most part, however, the videos show smaller engagements involving small numbers on each side. Individual militants using rocket propelled grenades against Israeli armoured vehicles and bulldozers remains common. As do attacks by snipers targeting isolated patrols… …while long range rocket attacks into Israel have remained a feature since the start of the conflict. While they must remain on guard at all times, most IDF patrols do not encounter Hamas insurgents… but they do claim to still regularly find tunnels used by them. But things can be dangerous in a warzone, even without the presence of the enemy. This video filmed by an Israeli soldier, purportedly shows debris from a detonation, almost taking them out. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepens, with Israel blocking food and aid from entering the strip. Estimates place the number of people killed since the start of the war, between 50 and 60,000.

Aseem Malhotra is a deeply controversial British doctor who has just been appointed as Chief Medical Adviser of the Make America Healthy Again campaign group co-founded by Donald Trump's health secretary Robert F Kennedy Junior. [Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe] It makes him one of the US Health Secretary's most influential medical advisers - and that's alarming doctors and academics around the world, because Aseem Malhotra, like RFK JR, goes against mainstream, established opinion on many topics. Most controversially he opposes the MRNA covid vaccines, claiming they cause more harm than good, and wants to end their use in America, even though people are still dying with Covid around the world. In the UK hundreds of people are dying with covid every month yet Dr Malhotra claims the virus is no longer deadly. He also supports RFK Junior's decision to reinvestigate discredited claims of a link between vaccines and autism, amid alarming levels of vaccine scepticism in America, and outbreaks of deadly measles. For the latest episode of The Fourcast Krishnan Guru-Murthy talks to Dr Malhotra, but we also examine his claims and scrutinise them by hearing from Stephen Griffin, Professor of Virology at Leeds University - who is a leading scientist in Britain and believes claims being made by Dr Malhotra and RFK Junior are wrong.
