When you start looking at some of the most useful plastics in the world, PVC is very high on that list. Many industries rely on PVC for their products and other uses. From construction to medical devices to curtains, PVC sees use in all sorts of products important for daily life. Here’s a look at some important information about PVC plastic.
Accessible and Affordable
When it comes to mass production, the cost and ease of sourcing are very important. PVC is a common plastic because it’s so easy to get, with many manufacturing plants across the world. PVC is made from chlorine, which is a cheap and readily available material. Its affordability makes PVC very desirable when making a lot of a product.
Chemical Resistance
PVC is resistant to many chemicals and alkalis, which makes it perfect for tanks and containers for chemical storage. While PVC containers can’t hold every kind of chemical out there, many containers use PVC because it’s resistant to a lot of the common chemicals people use in both daily life and industrial processes.
Durable and Dense
PVC is a very dense plastic, which means you can make it quite thin and still get a lot of strength and durability out of it. It’s also resistant to impact deformation, so it can retain its shape better than a lot of other materials. That’s why it can be so useful in a wide range of industries.
Versatile Material
PVC comes in many forms, making it perfect for just about anything you need. Hard PVC is great for durable products that need protection and support, and flexible PVC is great for cable coverings or boots.
When it comes to PVC plastic and its uses across the world, this is what you need to know. Most industries can and do use PVC in some capacity, as it’s highly efficient in production and affordable. That’s why PVC is one of the most popular plastic materials in the world.a

SOUTH SUDAN
From South Sudan, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says that they strongly condemn a deadly attack on two trucks delivering aid to Yei in Central Equatoria State that took place over the weekend on Saturday.
Two drivers were shot and killed, and both trucks were burnt and destroyed on their way back, as they were making their way back from the capital, Juba. As a result, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has paused moving supplies to the area.
The acting Humanitarian Coordinator for South Sudan, Mary-Ellen McGroarty, said those who provide vital assistance to the most vulnerable must be protected, and the killing of those who deliver aid as they are trying to save lives is unacceptable.
Across South Sudan, humanitarian workers – mostly national staff – face violence, threats and looting, among other challenges, while trying to reach people in need.
South Sudan tops the list of the world’s most dangerous places for humanitarian workers.
YEMEN
Hans Grundberg, the Special Envoy for Yemen, today held discussions in Riyadh, the Saudi Arabian capital, with senior Yemeni, regional, and international officials and diplomats.
He met with the Saudi Ambassador to Yemen, Mohamed Al Jaber, to discuss the progress of efforts to advance an agreement between the Yemeni parties on measures to improve living conditions in Yemen. Grundberg also met with the ambassadors of the five permanent members of the Security Council in Riyadh to coordinate international peace advocacy.
Mr. Grundberg reiterated that Yemen needs the support of the region and the international community to navigate the path towards sustainable development and peace.

United Nations Video: Universal Health Coverage (UHC) Global Monitoring Report 2023: Press Conference (18 Sep 2023)
Press briefing by; Dr. Bruce Aylward, Assistant Director-General, Universal Health Coverage, Life Course, World Health Organization (WHO); Dr Samira Asma, Assistant Director-General, Data, Analytics and Delivery, WHO; Dr Juan Pablo Uribe, Global Director for Health, Nutrition and Population, World Bank.
The Assistant Director-General for Data, Analytics and Delivery for Impact, at the World Health Organization (WHO), Samira Asma, today (18 Sep) said progress towards Universal Health Coverage (UHC) “has slowed down to a near halt,” and “more than half of the world's population, were not fully covered by essential health services in 2021.”
Speaking to reporters in New York at the press launch of the 2013 Universal Health Coverage Global Monitoring Report, Asma noted that from 2000 to 2015, there had been “significant progress towards UHC.”
“A staggering 4.5 billion people,” she said remain without coverage.
Asma said, “as we stand at the midpoint on our way towards these global goals, this report is a stark reminder that billions of people remain deprived of life saving essential health services.”
She stressed that “the gains the world has made in improving care for infectious diseases and maternal and child health show that investments do pay off in economic returns, and most importantly, in lives saved.”
The World Bank’s Global Director for Health, Nutrition and Population Juan Pablo Uribe said, “we need to prioritize health and the investment in health systems” and pointed out that the World Bank, which produced the Report in partnership with WHO remains ready to support countries and to partner with others “to collectively address this challenge and speeding up progress to universal health coverage in our countries and regions.”
WHO’s Assistant Director-General for Universal Health Coverage and Life Course, Bruce Aylward, said, “the commitment to health for all is becoming a commitment to health for some - and more health for some - and that is just not the right choice.”
Aylward said, “we're fully committed to do our part, monitoring what's happening, finding the best evidence about what works, helping you look at the smartest investments, advocating, and then providing the technical assistance on the ground.”
According to the Report the world is off track to make significant progress towards universal health coverage (UHC)
(Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) target 3.8) by 2030 as improvements to health services coverage have stagnated since 2015, and the proportion of the population that faced catastrophic levels of out-of-pocket (OOP) health spending has increased.

Precious samples collected from an asteroid are to be moved to a specialist laboratory in Texas.
Material taken from what has been described as “the most dangerous rock in our Solar System” came down to Earth in Utah in a Nasa space craft.
The samples had been scooped up from the surface of asteroid Bennu in 2020 by the Osiris-Rex spacecraft.
Scientists hope the samples will provide some answers about how life began more than four billion years ago.

Dozens Serb gunmen in armoured vehicles stormed a village, battling police and barricading themselves in a monastery in a resurgence of violence.
Kosovo police surrounded Banjska, a village located 55 kilometers (35 miles) north of Kosovo's capital, where the monastery is located.

ODN Video: KOSOVO: Police Surround 30 Gunmen In Monastery After Officer Shot Dead
'Kosovo: Police Surround 30 Gunmen In Monastery After Officer Shot Dead'.
Police have surrounded 30 gunmen in a Serbian monastery in Kosovo after an officer was shot dead, and another injured earlier on Sunday.
In a press conference, Kosovo's Prime Minister has blamed the attack on Serbia.
The killing increased tensions between the two former war foes at a delicate moment in their European Union-facilitated dialogue to normalize ties.
Prime Minister Albin Kurti said “masked professionals armed with heavy weapons” opened fire on a police patrol in the village of Banjska, in Leposavic municipality, 55 kilometers (35 miles) north of the capital Pristina at 3 a.m. (01:00 GMT).
Kosovo police said two trucks without license plates blocked a bridge at the entrance to the village. Three police units were sent to unblock it but came under fire from different positions with various weapons, including hand grenades and bombs.
Police managed to push back the attack and take two injured police officers to the hospital in southern Mitrovica.
One of them was dead on arrival, doctors said. The condition of the other is not life-threatening.
Speaking after a meeting of the country’s Security Council Sunday, Kurti said it was a “sad day” for Kosovo and named the dead police officer as Afrim Bunjaku.
The prime minister displayed a set of photos which showed a number of four-wheel drive vehicles without license plates and an armored personnel carrier “which does not belong to the Kosovo police,” near the Orthodox monastery in Banjska.
There was ongoing gunfire from what he described as a group of at least 30 military professionals, masked and heavily armed.
"Criminals and those who gave the order will be caught, tried and punished. The government is ready to respond to crime and criminals, terror, and terrorists," said Kurti.
Most of Kosovo's ethnic Serb minority lives in four municipalities around Mitrovica, in the north.
Reports in Kosovo Serb media said residents of Banjska were woken by shootings and explosions in the night.
In May tensions in northern Kosovo left 93 peacekeepers hurt in riots.
A particular flashpoint has been the creation of the Association of the Serb-Majority Municipalities, or ASM, to coordinate the work of Serb-dominated municipalities on matters such as education, health and economic development.

He's spent months in Mexico waiting to make an asylum case in the U.S. He's scheduled to get that chance Saturday but will likely have to leave behind his pet squirrel, Niko.
Their journey together is an unusual but blunt reflection of the emotional choices migrants make over what to take with them.
Yeison declined to give his last name because he fears for his family's safety in Venezuela.

'TAIWAN: Six Dead And At Least Hundred Injured After Factory Fire'
Fires and explosions at a golf ball manufacturing factory in southern Taiwan’s Pingtung County killed at least six people and injured 98 people late on Friday, with four people still missing as of Saturday morning, according to local authorities
Search and rescue operations continued throughout the night and into the early hours at the Launch Technologies Company’s plant, as firefighters continued to extinguish the flames 12 hours after the fire initially started.
Three firefighters were among the dead, authorities said.
Their bodies were found on the first floor of the factory.
The cause of the fire and subsequent explosions remains under investigation.
The Pingtung fire bureau said unexpected explosions occurred right after firefighters attempted to douse the flames with water and authorities suspect the presence of natural gas may have played a part.
The bureau said the explosions caused a section of the factory building to collapse, trapping several individuals beneath the rubble.

Global Video: How rocks from an asteroid could teach us about our planet
On Sunday, rocks plucked from the asteroid 101955 Bennu will land on our planet, ready to be studied by scientists who hope this sample can shine a light on our planet – and how it came to be.
The sample comes to us seven years after NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. on a mission to study a near-Earth asteroid and three years after it successfully touched down on Bennu to collect a sample of an asteroid for the first time in the space agency’s history.
Bennu is described as a celestial “rubbish pile” that is made up of material dating back billions of years to when the solar system was forming. And as Alyssa Julie reports, scientists believe its rocks could hold a record of that time period.

Global Video: Maui wildfires: Wind, drought and invasive grass created perfect storm for devastating fires
Punishing winds, a severe drought and invasive grass created the perfect conditions for the devastating fires on Maui that have so far killed at least 67 people, experts say.
The exact cause of the fires is yet to be determined but the National Weather Service had issued warnings for high winds and dry weather as Hurricane Dora brushed south of Hawaii.
Craig Clements, a meteorology professor at San Jose State University, said Maui had already been in a severe drought, putting it at risk for fires. He said the steep mountains overlooking the hard-hit town of Lahain also exacerbated the high wind conditions, sending them into populated areas at high speed.
Alyssa Julie has more on how conditions fanned the flames of the fires.

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?
Global News explains.

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.
