United Nations Video: Putting Victims' Rights First: Supporting Children Born from Peacekeeper Misconduct | United Nations
*Agnes’s story is one of resilience, pain, and hope. After losing everything to a volcanic eruption in the East of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2002, she was left to raise a child alone—abandoned by a UN peacekeeper who fathered her child. Today, with the help of the Trust Fund in support of victims of sexual exploitation and abuse, Agnes has started to rebuild her life, but her daughter longs for a father whom she doesn’t know.
The United Nations calls on Member States to take action and ensure children fathered by peacekeepers receive the recognition, care, and support they urgently deserve.

Council members, Bendjama said, “emphasised the importance of the election of a president in Lebanon to ensuring fully functional state institutions to address the pressing political, economic and security challenges of the country.”
The statement reaffirmed Council members’ “strong support for the territorial integrity, sovereignty and political independence of Lebanon,” and reiterated “their commitment to stability in Lebanon and call for the full implementation of resolution 1701 of 2006 and previous Security Council relevant resolutions related to the situation in Lebanon.”

United Nations Video: UN Report: Global Growth Stagnates at 2.8% for 2025, Below Pre-Pandemic Levels- Press Conference
Press conference by Mr. Li Junhua, Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, Mr. Shantanu Mukherjee, Director, Economic Analysis and Policy Division at UN DESA and Mr. Hamid Rashid, Chief, Global Economic Monitoring Branch, Economic Analysis and Policy Division at UN DESA, on the launch of the World Economic Situation and Prospects (WESP) report 2025.
The WESP report will also be launched regionally in Bangkok, Beirut, Geneva, Mexico, Moscow and New Delhi in early January.
---
According to a UN flagship report released today (9 Jan), the global economic growth is projected to remain at 2.8 percent in 2025, unchanged from this past year.
The World Economic Situation and Prospects (WESP) 2025 report shows that despite withstanding a series of mutually reinforcing shocks, global economic growth has stagnated and remains below the pre-pandemic annual average of 3.2 percent.
The report produced by the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), highlights the enduring impact of weak investment, sluggish productivity, and high debt levels on global economic performance.
It also underscores the importance of global cooperation and prudent policies to lift growth and place it on a stable and equitable pathway that can accelerate progress towards the SDGs.
Talking to the press today, Li Junhua, UN Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, said, “Our current assessment indicates that the world economy has largely avoided a broad-based contraction despite the unprecedented shocks of the last few years, and the most prolonged period of monetary tightening in recent history. For 2025, we project a global growth of 2.8 percent, similar to 2024. Lower inflation, monetary easing, and the recovery of international trade underpin this relatively stable outlook.”
He added, “Nevertheless, we note that this rate remains well below the pre-pandemic average of 3.2 percent, recorded over 2010-2019. The recovery remains uneven, driven primarily by a few large economies. Subdued growth prospects pose significant challenges, particularly for developing countries.”
This year’s thematic chapter takes a deep dive into the subject of critical minerals for the energy transition that can ramp up climate action while presenting opportunities for many developing countries to create jobs, generate public revenues and reduce poverty and inequality.
He said, “Addressing debt challenges, curbing illicit financial flows and strengthening domestic resource mobilization can increase the public revenues for investing in the SDGs. For many countries, the rising global demand for minerals critical for the energy transition presents a unique opportunity to stimulate growth, create jobs, and reduce poverty and inequality.”
Such favorable outcomes are not inevitable, however, and need coherent national policies as well as international support to become possible.
Li Junhua concluded, “Urgent actions are needed to address the debt sustainability challenges in many countries; to close the gaps in technology, financing, and infrastructure that hinder equitable growth; and to ensure that an accelerated energy transition reduces climate risks for all. The challenges we face are complex, but the solutions are within our reach – if we work together.”

CNN Video: How Los Angeles could have minimized the damage from the wildfires
Even as flames in Southern California continued to carve a destructive path on Friday and fire officials sought to assess the damage and determine how the fires began, a larger question loomed: Could this level of devastation somehow have been minimized, or is this simply the new normal in an era of climate-related calamities?
A CNN review of government reports and interviews with more than a dozen experts suggests the ultimate answer is a mix of both.
Los Angeles city and county officials have characterized the fires as a “perfect storm” event in which hurricane-force gusts of up to 100 miles per hour prevented them from deploying crucial aircraft that could have dropped water and fire retardant on the drought-ravaged neighborhoods early on. The consensus of experts interviewed by CNN was that the combination of those winds, unseasonably dry conditions and multiple fires breaking out one after another in the same geographic region made widespread destruction inevitable.

Firefighters are still struggling to contain the wildfires raging across Los Angeles for four days.
The US National Guard has been deployed and nightime curfews announced in some areas, to prevent looting. President Biden has said the city resembles a 'war scene.'
Around 10 thousand homes and buildings have been destroyed. Early estimates suggest the cost of the damage may amount to $150 billion dollars.
Fire authorities are admitting they do not have enough resources to tackle the biggest wildfires ever seen in the Los Angeles area.
Powerful winds and parched ground after months with little rain have contributed o the disaster. Scientists studying climate change have confirmed that 2024 was the hottest ever recorded, with temperatures 1.6 degrees higher than the pre-industrial average.

BBC News Video: 2024 first year to pass 1.5C global warming limit | BBC News
The planet has moved a major step closer to warming more than 1.5C, new data shows, despite world leaders vowing a decade ago they would try to avoid this.
The European Copernicus climate service said on Friday that 2024 was the first calendar year to pass the 1.5C threshold, as well as being the world's hottest year on record.
This does not mean the international 1.5C target has been broken, because that refers to a long-term average over decades.
But does bring us nearer to doing so, as fossil fuel emissions continue to heat the atmosphere.

ODN Video: US Offers $25m Reward For Arrest of Venezuela's Maduro President Maduro
The US has announced a $25m reward for information leading to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s arrest.
The announcement came as Maduro was sworn in for a third six-year term on Friday.
Maduro was declared the winner of July’s presidential election by the official electoral commission.
But the opposition and many countries, including the US, rejected the result as illegitimate.
They recognise opposition candidate Edmundo González as the legitimate president-elect.
González fled Venezuela in September and has been living in Spain since then.
The opposition insists their candidate, González, won by a landslide based on ballot data.

This is the moment Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado dramatically left an anti-government protest.
She was seen exiting the rally on a motorbike in Caracas on Thursday before her team reported her arrest.
Security forces “violently intercepted” her motorcycle convoy, according to her aides.
Machado was briefly detained and forced to record a 20-second proof-of-life video.
Her aides later said the video was coerced and described her detention as a “kidnapping".
The protest aimed to block Nicolás Maduro from being sworn in for a third six-year term as president.

(Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe)
Around 70,000 people have now been ordered to evacuate - among them, the ultra-rich and ultra-poor.
Three major wildfires are currently blazing out of control across the Los Angeles area. A fourth has been controlled.
The Eaton fire, near Pasadena, has killed two people and burned more than 2,000 acres.
Another is in Hurst, a rural community in the San Fernando Valley.
But the largest is the Palisades blaze. It has already consumed more than 5,000 acres in the affluent Pacific Palisades neighbourhood and is now threatening parts of Santa Monica.
And all three fires are “zero percent contained” according to fire officials.
