Play Video: World Environment Day 2025 - UN Chief Message | United Nations

Video Message by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, on the World Environment Day (5 June). "This World Environment Day focuses on solutions to beat plastic pollution. And rightly so. Plastic pollution is choking our planet – harming ecosystems, well-being, and the climate. Plastic waste clogs rivers, pollutes the ocean, and endangers wildlife. And as it breaks-down into smaller and smaller parts, it infiltrates every corner of Earth: from the top of Mount Everest, to the depths of the ocean; from human brains; to human breastmilk. Yet there is a movement for urgent change. We are seeing mounting public engagement… Steps towards reusability and greater accountability… And policies to reduce single-use plastics and improve waste management. But we must go further, faster. In two months, countries will come together to hammer-out a new global treaty to end plastic pollution. We need an ambitious, credible and just agreement this year. One that covers the life-cycle of plastic, through the perspective of circular economies… That responds to the needs of communities… That aligns with broader environmental goals, the sustainable development goals, and beyond… And that is implemented fast and in full. I urge negotiators to return to talks in August determined to build a common path through their differences and deliver the treaty our world needs. Together, let’s end the scourge of plastic pollution and build a better future for us all. Thank you." --------------------------------- Summary World Environment Day joins the UNEP-led #BeatPlasticPollution this year to mobilize communities worldwide to implement and advocate for solutions. World Environment Day will spotlight the growing scientific evidence on the impacts of plastic pollution and drive momentum to refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink plastics use to build a cleaner and more sustainable future. --------------------------------- Related links: World Environment Day - Website: https://www.un.org/en/observances/environment-day

Play Video: International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers - Press Conference | United Nations

On the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers, marked today (29 May) Peacekeeping Chief Jean-Pierre Lacroix said, “we are committed to maximising our own cost effectiveness,” but at the same time, he said “it is imperative that peacekeeping should be provided with the resources that are needed to deliver on the mandate.” Speaking to reporters in New York, Lacroix said the 2025 UN Peacekeeping Ministerial in Berlin brought together “more than 150 delegations,” 60 of them at ministerial level. He said there “many expressions of support,” as well as “many pledges that were made to support peacekeeping.” The main takeaway, Peacekeeping Chief was that “peacekeeping remains very strongly supported by Member States.” He said, “we have a great amount of work to do to operationalise all the commitments and also to continue with the many bodies of work that we're currently working on in different areas, such as safety and security of peacekeepers; performance; conduct and discipline; relation with the host government; how to introduce and make the best possible use of digital technology in peacekeeping and so many other bodies of work.” Lacroix said, “Member States requested a broad review of all peace operations at the Summit for the Future last September. And we're currently working on this with our sister department, the Department of Peacebuilding and Political Affairs. And, of course, we are working to operationalise UN80 initiatives, the Secretary-General initiative, within the peace and security pillar.” Faced with financial constraints, he said, “peacekeeping is constant adapting” and “looking for innovative ways to deliver while remaining both an effective and really a low cost option compared to many other multinational deployments.” Lacroix stressed that “we are committed to maximising our own cost effectiveness, but at the same time, we want to insist that it is imperative that peacekeeping should be provided with the resources that are needed to deliver on the mandate.” Responding to a reporter’s question on the matter, he said, “I think it's clear that most of our top financial contributors have constraints in terms of their public finances. Now, of course, we expect all of them to pay what they have to pay on time and in full, but at the same time, we live in a real world, and we know what those constraints are. So, we want to have a very productive dialogue with them, in addition of course to making sure that as far as we're concerned, we work on cost effectiveness.” Later in the day, Secretary-General António Guterres laid a wreath to honour the more than 4,400 United Nations peacekeepers who have lost their lives in the line of duty since 1948. During an awards ceremony at the ECPOSOC Chamber, Guterres said, “over the decades, more than 2 million women and men have served in 72 UN missions across four continents. And I'm deeply grateful to all Member States for these invaluable contributions. In the communities and countries in which they serve, UN peacekeepers are an important symbol of the United Nations at its best. And together, they've helped improve millions of lives, protecting people, preserving peace and providing hope, rebuilding infrastructures, repairing institutions, and ensuring life-saving assistance. With their support, nations around the world have made the transition from war to peace.” The Secretary-General presented awards to the Military Gender Advocate of the Year, Squadron Leader Sharon Mwinsote Syme of Ghana and the UN Woman Police Officer of the Year, Superintendent Zainab Gbla of Sierra Leone. Both of them serve with our peacekeeping mission in Abyei.

Play Video: Africa Dialogue, Occupied Palestinian Territory & other topics - Daily Press Briefing (30 May 2025)

Noon Briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: Secretary-General/Africa Dialogue Occupied Palestinian Territory Sudan South Sudan Cyprus Security Council Haiti – Hurricane Season International Days Programming Note – Monday Deputy Secretary-General/Travels SECRETARY-GENERAL/AFRICA DIALOGUE The Secretary-General will speak at the Africa Dialogue at 3 pm today and will focus on reparations, which is also the African Union’s theme for 2025. He will say that for too long, the colossal injustices inflicted by enslavement, the transatlantic slave trade, and colonialism have been left unacknowledged and unaddressed. And he will argue that reparatory justice frameworks are critical – to redress historic wrongs, address today’s challenges, and ensure the rights and dignity of all. DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL/TRAVELS Today, in Tajikistan, the Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed participated in the High-Level International Conference on Glacier Preservation, taking place in Dushanbe. She underscored the urgent need to preserve glaciers and keep the 1.5°C climate target within reach — not only to protect ecosystems and water sources, but to ensure the livelihoods of people and prospering communities. The Deputy Secretary-General called for bold, coordinated action ahead of COP30 rooted in cooperation, solidarity, and science. She later held a series of bilateral meetings with senior government officials, delegations, and youth constituents. She also met with the UN Country Team to acknowledge the UN’s continued support in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals in Tajikistan. Tomorrow, the Deputy Secretary-General will travel to Marrakech, Morocco, to attend the 2025 Ibrahim Governance Weekend. OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY Turning to the situation in Gaza, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs tell says that the catastrophic situation in Gaza is the worst it has been since the war began. Strikes have continued across Gaza, particularly in North Gaza, where the last remaining partially functioning hospital, Al Awda, was forced to evacuate last night after repeated strikes on and around the facility in recent days. Attacks also continued farther south in Deir al Balah, in areas of Al Bureij and An Nuseirat camps. IHH, an international aid organization that runs community kitchens and nutrition points, reported on Wednesday that five of its workers had been killed and two injured in the previous two days. OCHA underscores once again that civilians, including aid workers, must always be protected. Displacement continued across Gaza, with nearly 200,000 people displaced in the last two weeks alone. Yesterday, Israeli authorities issued a renewed displacement order covering about 30 per cent of Gaza’s total territory in North Gaza, eastern parts of Gaza City and Deir al Balah. To date, displacement orders have covered the entirety of the northernmost and southernmost governorates, as well as the eastern parts of each of the three governorates in between. Partners note that the limited movement of people observed in recent days appears to be driven by the search for food and necessities, rather than displacement orders. The UN and its humanitarian partners continue to provide support to people in need, despite the immense challenges on the ground and the crippling restrictions on the amount and type of assistance being allowed into Gaza. Yesterday, the UN and the humanitarian partners only managed to collect five truckloads of cargo from the Palestinian side of Kerem Shalom. The other 60 trucks had to return to the crossing due to intense hostilities in the area. Meanwhile in Gaza City, our partners working to address shelter needs managed to distribute 45 emergency shelter kits to families as part of a pilot initiative aimed at pooling resources to respond to some of the most critical needs. Humanitarian needs have exploded in Gaza following nearly 80 days of a total blockade of all supplies. The limited amounts of aid now entering the Strip are nowhere near sufficient to support 2.1 million people in desperate need of assistance. As conditions on the ground further deteriorate and public order and safety break down, looting incidents continue to be reported. Today, a group ‎of armed individuals stormed the warehouses of a field hospital in Deir al Balah, looting large quantities of ‎medical equipment, supplies, medicines and nutritional supplements intended for ‎malnourished children.

Play Video: Small businesses under Trump’s tariffs: ‘I’m so angry that my own government has done this to me’

For some small businesses, the last week brought even more twists and turns to the past two months of President Donald Trump’s chaotic tariffs. The situation was already confusing, with stops and starts of tariffs at different levels. Then on Wednesday, a US court said Trump overstepped his authority in imposing most of those import levies – only for an appeals court on Thursday to pause the previous court’s ruling. The confusion has made it challenging for some small companies to plan, business owners told CNN. “My fear is, if this continues, there’s going to be like the mass extinction of small businesses,” Julie Robbins, CEO of Ohio-based guitar pedal maker EarthQuaker Devices, told CNN's Phil Mattingly. Mattingly also spoke to grocery CEO Stew Leonard about tariffs on international produce. #CNN #News

Appearing at a town hall on Friday, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) was pressed on cuts to Medicaid – the health care program for low-income Americans – in House Republicans’ budget plan. One audience member shouted that “people will die.” “Well, we all are going to die,” said Ernst, who’s facing reelection in 2026. When hostile portions of the crowd balked at the response, she said: “For heaven’s sakes, folks.” The senator and her office argued Friday that Republicans are in fact trying to “strengthen” Medicaid. Ernst on Saturday issued a sarcastic apology in which she invoked the Tooth Fairy and encouraged people to convert to Christianity so they could have eternal life.

(Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe) There are four distribution centres run by the controversial US-Israeli backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, with only a couple of them operational as yet. Witnesses on the ground reported shooting around half a mile from the western-most site, near to the coast. But the Foundation says nothing happened and Israel denies firing on civilians. Israel has now released drone footage it claims shows masked gunman opening fire near the site.

Play Video: Musk quits Trump administration - what has DOGE achieved?

He's unfathomably wealthy and he even has his own space rockets to play with. Elon Musk could do - well - pretty much anything.
