Global World Topics

Hi everyone! Welcome to Robin's news site where I share my thoughts and opinions on various sensitive topics. Today, I want to talk about Memorial Day, a very important and meaningful holiday in the United States. Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May every year, and it honors the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. It is a day of remembrance, gratitude, and patriotism.

Memorial Day has a long and rich history that dates back to the Civil War era. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day, and it was established by an organization of Union veterans in 1868. The idea was to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers and flags, as a way of paying tribute to their sacrifice and courage. The first large-scale observance of Decoration Day took place at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, where General James Garfield delivered a speech, and thousands of people participated in the ceremony.


Memorial Day Meaning, History, Ideas To Remember Our Fallen Soldiers

Over time, Decoration Day became Memorial Day, and it expanded to honor all military members who died in any war or conflict involving the U.S. forces. In 1971, Memorial Day became an official federal holiday, and it also marked the unofficial start of the summer season for many Americans. Today, Memorial Day is celebrated with various traditions and rituals across the country. Some of these include:

- Visiting cemeteries or memorials and placing flowers, wreaths, or flags on the graves of veterans.

- Attending religious services, parades, or ceremonies that honor the fallen heroes.

- Flying the U.S. flag at half-staff until noon, then raising it to full-staff for the rest of the day.

- Observing a national moment of remembrance at 3:00 p.m. local time, where people pause for a minute of silence or listen to taps.

- Wearing red poppies, a symbol of remembrance inspired by a World War I poem.

- Spending time with family and friends, enjoying picnics, barbecues, or outdoor activities.

Memorial Day is more than just a long weekend or a fun holiday. It is a solemn occasion to honor those who gave their lives for our freedom and security. It is also a time to reflect on our own values and responsibilities as citizens of this great nation. As General Garfield said in his speech at Arlington National Cemetery in 1868: " We do not know one promise these men made, one pledge they gave, one word they spoke; but we do know they summed up and perfected, by one supreme act, the highest virtues of men and citizens. For the love of country, they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue."

I hope you enjoyed reading this blog post about Memorial Day. Please leave your Facebook comments below and let me know what you think. How do you celebrate Memorial Day? What does it mean to you? What are some ways you can show your appreciation and respect for the fallen heroes? I would love to hear from you.

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful Memorial Day!

Highlights: - Briefing by Secretary-General - Ukraine - Memorandum of Understanding/Black Sea Initiative - Mali - Central African Republic - Sudan - South Sudan - Rwanda - Haiti - Myanmar - Peru - Hate Speech - Colombia BRIEFING BY SECRETARY-GENERAL On Monday, just a reminder the Secretary-General will be here at 10:15 a.m., to brief you on his Information Integrity on Digital Platforms policy brief. UKRAINE Denise Brown, our Humanitarian Coordinator is in Kherson. Earlier in the day she was in the town of Bilozerka, which is on the west bank of the Dnipro river, just about a 1.5 km from the front lines. This is one of the areas worst impacted by the destruction of Kakhovka Dam. Ms. Brown said that although initial estimates indicate that 17,000 people are being impacted in the areas controlled by Ukraine alone, it is important to understand that the crisis has not stopped and continues to evolve rapidly. The numbers are changing by the minute, she said, highlighting the impact of the disaster on agriculture, water, energy, and mine contamination. As you know, the disaster has also impacted people under Russian Control, but the UN currently has no access to those areas. Ms. Brown was in Bilozerka today as an OCHA led inter-agency humanitarian convoy was there to support 6,000 people in that community. The UN Refugee Agency, the UN Children’s Fund, the International Organization for Migration, the World Health Organization as well as the World Food Programme all provided critical assistance, including ready-to-eat food, bottles of water, water bladders, hygiene kit, jerrycan, solar lamps as well as medical kits and medicine. The Humanitarian Coordinator met with local authorities and members of the community who had received aid on the day of the dam breach. In Kherson, Ms. Brown met with the Governor and had further discussions on the needs of people impacted by this catastrophe. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING/BLACK SEA INITIATIVE Meanwhile in Geneva, the Secretary-General of the UN Conference on Trade and Development, otherwise known as Rebeca Grynspan, today led the UN team which met with senior Russian officials, including Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin. The meeting was part of the ongoing consultations regarding the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding between the UN and the Russian Federation to facilitate the unimpeded export of Russian food and fertilizer, which includes ammonia, to global markets. These efforts are part of the two-fold package deal that includes the work being done by the Joint Coordination Centre in the Black Sea Initiative. The past months have also shown tangible progress regarding the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding, including increased export volumes of Russian food and fertilizers, a steady flow of ships to Russian ports and lower freight and insurance rates. Challenges however remain but we will spare no effort to overcome all remaining obstacles. In the weeks to come, our focus will remain on implementing the Memorandum of Understanding and achieving further results before the deadline of 17 July to enable the full implementation of the Istanbul agreements, which includes the MoU and the Black Sea Initiative. The UN remains resolutely committed to working for global food security by ensuring that essential food and fertilizers reach global markets and are available and affordable to all. MALI Some sad news to share with you from Mali, where one of our peacekeepers died earlier today in an attack in Ber town, in the Timbuktu region. Eight other peacekeepers have sustained serious injuries. They were part of a security patrol targeted in an attack that involved an Improvised Explosive Device and that was then followed by direct fire. We add our voice to the head of the peacekeeping mission in Mali, El-Ghassim Wane, to strongly condemn this attack of course. This tragic loss is a stark reminder of the risks that peacekeepers in Mali and other places around the world face while tirelessly working to bring stability and peace to the people of Mali. We extend our condolences to the government, and family, of the fallen peacekeeper and wish a speedy recovery to those injured. We will have a more formal statement from the Secretary-general shortly. Just to give you some context, nine peacekeepers have died in Mali this year alone.

"The Light in Their Eyes" Melissa Fleming (UN) interviews Dr. Najat Maalla M'jid (UN Special Representative on Violence against Children) - Awake at Night: S7-E3 "You hear some strong policymakers telling us our children are our future. They are not your future. You are the past; they are the present and they are their own future.” A pediatrician by training, Dr. Najat Maalla M'jid has always been dedicated to rescuing children from suffering. Now United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence against Children, she works tirelessly to protect young people around the world. “What I learned in my life, it's the eyes. […] When you are speaking with children, when you have light in their eyes, it's still possible. When the light switches off, it’s too late.” Half of the world’s children are exposed to violence every year, often leaving devastating, lasting impacts on their mental health. In this episode, Najat Maalla M'jid reflects on the importance of rapid intervention in cases of violence against children and the extraordinary courage and resilience of youth. “I was working in places where children are dying, and at the same time [they had] this courage. Telling you that, ‘I know that I'm going to die tomorrow, but it's okay.’ It's amazing to see these strong, courageous children. I learned a lot from them.” Screen-shot photo credit: Photo ©UNICEF Ethiopia Full episode: https://www.un.org/en/awake-at-night/S7-E3-light-in-their-eyes-najat-maalla-mjid-on-violence-against-children

Noon briefing by Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesperson for the Secretary-General. Highlights: Security Council South Sudan Sudan Libya UNIFIL Ukraine World Oceans Day Climate Information Integrity On Digital Platforms SECURITY COUNCIL This morning, Rosemary DiCarlo, the Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, addressed the Security Council at a meeting on the UN’s cooperation with the League of Arab States. She talked about Libya, about Syria, the Israel-Palestine issue as well as Sudan. On Sudan, she noted the cooperation between the UN and the League of Arab States, where the Jeddah Agreement gave rise to much hope. Unfortunately, she said, the parties have failed to implement the Agreement. Furthermore, she added, the Sudanese Armed Forces announced the suspension of their participation in the talks, citing the Rapid Support Forces’ violations of the ceasefire. Her remarks were shared with you. SOUTH SUDAN The Peacekeeping Mission in South Sudan today said that it is gravely concerned about an eruption in tensions and deadly inter-communal fighting that took place this morning in the UN Protection of Civilians Site in Malakal. The UN Mission notes that initial reports indicate that at least 3 people have been killed as of early this afternoon, and more than 20 people have been injured. Some of those injured are receiving treatment at the UN Mission’s hospital. The violence flared up in the early hours today, following a stabbing incident. The Mission regrets the loss of lives and injuries to civilians and calls for an immediate halt to the fighting. The Mission has deployed reinforcements -including military and police personnel - in the area, in close collaboration with State authorities and the South Sudan People’s Defence Forces. The Mission is also engaging with leaders of the various communities in the UN Protection of Civilians Site, as well as the state government, to restore calm and order. SUDAN The UN Children’s Fund told us that nearly 300 children were safely relocated from the Mygoma orphanage in the capital Khartoum to a transit centre in a safer location. That took place late yesterday afternoon. The International Committee for the Red Cross facilitated that critical evacuation of children and dozens of caretakers. You’ll remember that at least 70 children had reportedly died at that orphanage since this present round of the conflict began in Sudan. UNICEF is providing support for the children’s medical care, feeding, and other needs. They’re currently under the care of the Social Welfare and Health ministries, and UNICEF is working with authorities to identify foster families. Meanwhile, millions of children in the country at large remain threatened by the continued fighting and the secondary impacts of that fighting. A record number of children in Sudan– that is more than 13.6 million children – now need humanitarian assistance. Meanwhile our colleagues at the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs continue to communicate with the parties in Sudan to resolve access challenges and facilitate the movement of lifesaving supplies. Between 21 May and 7 June, that is yesterday, at least 188 trucks carrying humanitarian aid reached states across the country – including Khartoum, Al Jazirah, Red Sea, Kassala, Gedaref, Sennar, River Nile, Blue Nile and Northern State. Partners are planning 41 additional truck movements in the days ahead. Full highlights: https://www.un.org/sg/en/content/noon-briefing-highlight?date%5Bvalue%5D%5Bdate%5D=08%20June%202023

Federal prosecutors have brought 37 charges against Donald Trump. He’s the first ever former President to face federal criminal prosecution.   Mr Trump is accused of retaining top secret documents when he left the White House two years ago -and of conspiring to obstruct justice.   Prosecutors say the documents contained details of the defence and weapons capabilities of the United States and other countries, along with details of US nuclear programmes and information about the potential vulnerability of the United States and its allies to military attack.   Mr Trump is accused of taking dozens of boxes of documents from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and storing them in a ballroom, a bathroom, and even a shower. Mr Trump, who's due to appear in court in Florida,  insists he's innocent.

There have been recent suggestions that the UK government is underinvesting in new microchip technology compared to the EU or US. But what if they've had a better idea, and are instead backing something that could finish off microprocessors as surely as steam ships left sailing clippers in their wake? The sector in question is quantum technology, where research suggests a revolution in computer speeds is now attainable. But is the UK's early investment in the technology of £2.5bn over the next decade - more than the US - enough to ensure it reaps the rewards?

Play 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? Global News explains.

Play Video: Could China invade Taiwan?


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.

Play 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.

Play 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. - With files from Michelle Butterfield.
