It’s no secret that being inebriated while driving is a no-go. However, what many people don’t realize is that the law has evolved to ensure that there are different testing measures for drugged driving and drunk driving. In the state of California, drugged driving and drunk driving are two different things, so read on to learn the most important details about each.
Limits for Drunk Driving
California Vehicle Code segregates the offense of driving under the influence (DUI) into two divisions: drunk driving and drugged driving. Driving a vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher is banned. The regulation is stricter for commercial vehicle drivers, who should not drive with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of more than 0.04 percent.
Limits for Drugged Driving
Because experts have never agreed on the how much of any type of drug can impair a person, correlating drug amount with driving performance is difficult. This problem is compounded by the fact that while many different medicines can impair driving, each drug can present differently in different people. Therefore, California law states only that using any drug that impairs one’s ability to drive safely is illegal. This applies to prescribed, over-the-counter, and illegal drugs alike.
Similarities
What many people don’t realize is that the testing processes for drugged and drunk driving are actually very similar. In most cases, if you’re pulled over, the police officer will have you perform a set of basic tests to determine whether drugs or alcohol has impaired your ability to safely drive. The officer also has the right to take you in for a blood draw, which will build a case for or against you. One last thing to note is that convictions for both drugged and drunk driving stay on one’s record for the same amount of time.
In short, drugged driving and drunk driving in California have their similarities, but they also differ in certain ways. Remember that in any situation, driving sober is always best, as doing so will ensure that you can keep driving in the future—and that you stay safe.

SECURITY COUNCIL/ THREATS TO INTERNATIONAL PEACE AND SECURITY
This afternoon the Security Council will hold a meeting on threats to international peace and security. Rafael Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency will brief Council members, and following the meeting, he and the Head of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs of Switzerland, Ignazio Cassis, are expected to speak to reporters at the Security Council stakeout.
SECURITY COUNCIL - RESOLUTIONS
This morning, the Security Council unanimously voted in favour of the renewal of the mandate of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq - for one year - until 31 May 2024.
Also, the Security Council adopted resolution 2683 that renews sanctions on South Sudan until 31 May 2024 and renews the Panel of Experts of the 2206 South Sudan Sanctions Committee until 1 July 2024, and that was done by 10 votes in favour, 5 abstentions.
SYRIA
This morning, the Special Envoy for Syria, Geir Pederson, told Security Council members that this past month has seen diplomatic activity quicken.
At the same time, he underlined the importance for the Syrians to engage in dialogue and return to discussing their own future together in the Constitutional Committee.
For her part, Ghada Eltahir Mudawi, the Deputy Director of Operations at the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said that a staggering 15.3 million people – that’s nearly 70 per cent of Syria’s population - require humanitarian assistance throughout the country.
She called for greater solidarity and urgently increased humanitarian funding to save lives and prevent further suffering.
YEMEN
The Central Emergency Response Fund has allocated $18 million to address food security in the country to help reduce high levels of food insecurity and rising malnutrition rates driven by the conflict, economic shocks and climate change, among other factors.
The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that more than 17 million men, women and children, or around 80 per cent of the population, are facing high levels of food insecurity across Yemen.
Recent UN analysis shows rising malnutrition rates, with children under the age of five being particularly impacted.
The $4.3 billion appeal for Yemen in 2023 is currently just over 24 percent funded.
This allocation from the Central Emergency Response Fund will allow humanitarian agencies and partners to support people in the governorates of Hajjah, Al Hodeidah and Ta’iz – which are among the most vulnerable and affected by both food insecurity and malnutrition.

The event aimed to recognize the efforts of United Nations peacekeepers and the communities they serve as they strive together to secure peace in some of the most fragile political and security environments.
“It’s about acknowledging the dedication of our more than 85,000 men and women peacekeepers serving around the world”, said UN Under-Secretary-General for the Department of Peace Operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix.
The Inside Out Project, founded by artist JR to help communities around the world to stand up for what they believe in, has seen the participation of more than 500,000 people in 149 countries and territories, with more than 2,000 Actions created.
The United Nations is conducting a year-long global campaign, titled Peace Begins with Me, to honor the service and sacrifice of more than two million men and women who have served as peacekeepers under the UN flag since 1948.

United Nations Video: International Day of UN Peacekeepers: "Our teams of Blue Helmets represent hope" - UN Chief message
Video message by António Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General, on International Day of UN Peacekeepers (29 May).
United Nations peacekeepers are the beating heart of our commitment to a more peaceful world. For 75 years, they have supported people and communities rocked by conflict and upheaval across the globe.
Today, on the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers, we honour their extraordinary contributions to international peace and security.
Since 1948, more than two million peacekeepers have served in 71 missions, helping countries navigate the difficult path from war to peace.
They are also critical to the protection of civilians caught up in the chaos of these deadly conflicts, providing a lifeline of hope and help in some of the most dangerous contexts imaginable.
In carrying out this essential work, many peacekeepers have paid the ultimate price. More than 4,200 peacekeepers have lost their lives serving under the UN flag. We stand in sympathy and solidarity with their families, friends and colleagues, and will forever be inspired by their selfless devotion to the cause of peace.
Today, more than 87,000 peacekeepers from 125 countries serve in 12 operations. They face rising global tensions and divides, stagnating peace processes, and more complex conflicts.
Despite these obstacles, and working with a wide range of partners, peacekeepers persevere.
To people living under the shadow of conflict, our teams of Blue Helmets represent hope.
As peacekeepers support humanity, let us always support and recognize them.

Today (25 May), UN Headquarters observed the International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers and marked the 75th anniversary of UN Peacekeeping.
In 1948, the historic decision was made to deploy military observers to the Middle East to supervise the implementation of Israel-Arab Armistice Agreements in what became the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization.
Since that time, more than two million peacekeepers from 125 countries have served in 71 operations around the world.
Today, 87,000 women and men are serving in 12 conflict zones across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
During formal ceremonies at United Nations Headquarters, Secretary-General António Guterres laid a wreath to honor the more than 4200 UN peacekeepers who have lost their lives since 1948.
He has also presided over a ceremony in the General Assembly Hall at which Dag Hammarskjöld Medals have been awarded posthumously to 103 military, police, and civilian peacekeepers, who lost their lives serving under the UN flag last year.

A new government crackdown on vape marketing will prevent the “unacceptable” targeting of children and young people, Rishi Sunak has said.
Ministers have pledged to close a loophole in the law in England which allows retailers to give free samples of vapes to children.
NHS figures from 2021 showed that 9% of 11-15 year olds used e-cigarettes, up from 6% in 2018.
The prime minister said he was “shocked by reports of illicit vapes containing lead getting into the hands of schoolchildren.”

Global Video: King Charles coronation: Crown jewels, centuries-old traditions and what it all means
The coronation of King Charles III will be the first time a King of England has his coronation televised and only the second-ever British monarch to do so after Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
It’s a ceremony full of pomp and circumstance, cloaked in mystery and steeped in centuries-old traditions…that comes from a healthy dose of historical pettiness and happenstance.
During the ceremony, the monarch will be presented with the crown jewels, almost all of which were destroyed, altered, or lost to time over the often-tumultuous centuries of British history.
While the crown is the centrepiece of the regalia – what do sceptres, swords and a Scottish stone have to do with being anointed to the British throne?

When Russia invaded Ukraine just over a year ago, the question was raised if China could be watching what happened to determine if it could launch its own invasion of the independent island nation of Taiwan.
For years, Chinese President Xi Jinping has said Taiwan would some day reunify with China but outside of military exercises near the island, there has yet to be actual movement that has signified if Beijing would take the next step and try to invade.
Sean Previl takes a look at the history of the country, the political conditions it currently faces and what could happen if China did take that step.

Global Video: Mummering: Newfoundland's unique holiday tradition comes roaring back
This past weekend in St. John’s Newfoundland, hundreds of people hit the streets for the Atlantic province’s annual Mummers Parade.
As part of this festive tradition, people gather up old clothes that have been lying around the house –tablecloths and oversized shirts are a favourite – and assemble a “mummer’s rig” or costume.
Originally, mummering was a house-visiting tradition. It first appeared in Newfoundland and Labrador in the 1800’s, though the practice dates back much further than that. Mummers would visit their neighbours in disguise, looking for beer and a bite to eat.
Alyssa Julie has more on the history of mummering - and the dark parts of its past.

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.
