(Unicentro - 2017) How World Leaders Reacted to Trump at the U.N. By SOMINI SENGUPTA and MEGAN SPECIA SEPT. 23, 2017 He was called a giant gold Goliath and a rogue newcomer. But in a few corners the remarks made by President Trump at the United Nations were described as courageous and gratifying. Throughout the week, Mr. Trumps first address to the General Assembly drew many direct and indirect swipes, from allies and rivals alike, and sparse support. While the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, attacked Mr. Trump from afar calling him a dotard in a statement on North Korean national television others used their platforms at the United Nations to respond. Some leaders were more subtle than others. Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwes 93-year-old president, took aim at Mr. Trump during his own speech on Thursday. Mr. Mugabe mocked Mr. Trump as a giant gold Goliath and said other nations were embarrassed if not frightened by his statements about North Korea. Are we having a return of Goliath to our midst, who threatens the extinction of other countries? Mr. Mugabe asked. Some responded with applause to his reference to the biblical character who threatened the Israelites before being slain by the young shepherd David, who would become king. Mr. Mugabe then went on to address Mr. Trump directly, telling him to blow your trumpet in a musical way towards the values of unity, peace, cooperation, togetherness and dialogue which we have always stood for. During his speech, Mr. Trump notably omitted any talk of climate change, seen as one of the most pressing issues for many world leaders. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada received the longest applause during his General Assembly speech on Thursday after an implicit dig at Mr. Trump. There is no country on the planet that can walk away from the challenge and reality of climate change, Mr. Trudeau said, referring to Mr. Trumps plans to pull out of the Paris climate accord.

(UNICENTRO - 2017) Can talking on a mobile phone be hazardous to your health? It is difficult to know for sure. Some research suggests that heavy users of mobile phones are at a greater risk of developing cancerous brain tumours. However, many other studies suggest there are no links between cancer and mobile phone use. The main problem with the current research is that mobile phones have only been popular since the 1990s. As a result, it is impossible to study long-term exposure to mobile phones. This concerns many health professionals who point out that certain cancers can take over twenty years to develop. Another concern about these studies is that many have been funded by the mobile phone industry or those who benefit from it. Over five billion people now use mobile phones on a daily basis, and many talk for more than an hour a day. Mobile phone antennas are similar to microwave ovens. While both rely on electromagnetic radiation (EMR), the radio waves in mobile phones are lower in frequency. Microwave ovens have radio wave frequencies that are high enough to cook food, and they are also known to be dangerous to human tissues like those in the brain. The concern is that the lowerfrequency radio waves that mobile phones rely on may also be dangerous. It seems logical that holding a heat source near your brain for a long period of time is a potential health hazard. Some researchers believe that other types of wireless technology may also be dangerous to human health, including cordless phones, wireless gaming consoles, and laptop or tablet computers with wireless connections. They suggest replacing all cordless and wireless devices with wired ones where possible. They also say that many cordless phones can emit dangerous levels of Electromagnetic Radiation even when they are not in use. They even suggest keeping electronic devices such as desktop and tablet computers out of the bedroom, or at least six feet from the head while were sleeping. A growing number of health professionals worldwide are recommending that mobile phone users err on the side of caution until more definitive studies can be conducted. They use the example of tobacco to illustrate the potential risks. Many years ago, people smoked freely and were not concerned about the effects of cigarettes on their health. Today, people know that cigarettes cause lung cancer, though it is still unknown exactly how or why. Some doctors fear that the same thing will happen with mobile phones. In May 2016, the UKs Independent newspaper reported on research by the US governments National Toxicology Program that showed a slight increase in brain tumours among rats exposed to the type of radio frequencies commonly emitted by mobile phones. This doesnt prove that mobile phones can cause brain tumours in humans, but it does show that its possible. As a result, many experts now recommend texting or using head sets or speaker phones instead of holding a mobile phone to the ear.

(UNICENTRO - 2011/2) Australia debates nuclear waste The Stuart Highway runs through Tennant Creek in Australias Northern Territory Aboriginal groups are to debate controversial plans to build Australias first nuclear waste dump on tribal land in the Northern Territory. The federal government has identified a remote [5] cattle station north of Tennant Creek as a likely site. In the next six years nuclear waste that Australia sent to Europe for reprocessing will be returned but officials in Canberra have yet to decide where to put it. Muckaty Station, an isolated property 120 [10] kilometers from Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory, has been chosen as a possible site. Local aborigines have offered to sell the land for $11,000,000, a move that has infuriated other indigenous groups in the area, who worry about the health and environmental implications. [15] These conflicting views are expected to collide at a public meeting that will be held in Tennant Creek, an old gold-mining town south of Darwin. Australian Greens Senator Scott Ludlam says the plan to build a radioactive waste dump in the region has become extremely divisive. [20] Australias federal government said that Muckaty Station would be subject to thorough scientific and environmental assessments. Ministers have indicated that the nuclear dump wont be built if landowners oppose it. [25] Critics believe that recent earthquakes in that part of the Northern Territory have raised questions about the safety of the sites. The Australian Greens have said that radioactive waste should be stored at the countrys only nuclear facility on the outskirts of Sydney.
