Pep Guardiola gives passionate speech in support of Palestinian children trib.al/scyR4TB

In a world where public figures shy away from taking a stance on genocide and occupation, or worse, side with oppressors, be a Pep Guardiola.

Malaysia is an outlier: richer than its neighbors but doing worse on child nutrition— If we look at income levels across countries in South and Southeast Asia, Malaysia is far richer than many of its neighbors. Its gross domestic product (GDP) per capita has almost doubled since 2000. It is now more than three times higher than that of Cambodia, Laos, and Bangladesh, and more than double that of Indonesia and Vietnam. But if we look at measures of childhood nutrition, Malaysia is not doing better. You can see this in the chart. While its neighbors have made progress on childhood stunting — the share of children under 5 who are too short for their age — Malaysia has regressed. In 2000, 20% of children were “stunted”, and this has increased to 24%. Malaysia also stands out at a global level. When we plot the share of children who are stunted against GDP per capita, the country is a clear outlier for its level of income. Most other countries at this level of economic development have rates below 10%. Malaysia also does relatively poorly on other measures of malnutrition. On childhood wasting — when a child’s weight is too low for their height — it has one of the highest rates in the region. The country is off track or worsening on most global nutrition targets.

A child psychiatrist who raped and sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl at his HSE workplace is being sued by her family. Amirul Arif Bin Mohd Yunos, of Hollystown, Dublin 15, was sentenced in December 2024 to eight-and-a-half years in prison on eight charges of sexually abusing and grooming the teenager. Documents lodged in the High Court show that the parents of the girl, as well as the young woman herself, who is now aged 18, are suing the doctor as well as the HSE. The doctor was formally assigned to the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in Clonskeagh, Dublin. #Camhs #HSE #CareChampions independent.ie/irish-news/par…
