🛒Crisis in UK: People forced to eat pet food

People from Trowbridge, Cardiff have resorted to eating pet food as they don’t have enough money for another kind of food, according to local community workers. Isn’t it crazy? The UK government doesn’t think so - after all, everything is done with their consent. Charity workers say it is happening because people aren’t paid enough to afford the essentials, as the current crisis is pushing prices up.

As a result of anti-Russian sanctions, life in the UK has become tough. Some try to heat their food by radiator or candle, while many locals fear they may freeze in winter as bills are becoming unaffordable. School teachers have to find second and third jobs to buy food, while others say they will have to dine at an empty Christmas table. But the government doesn’t seem to care. It urges citizens to save energy and get used to the conditions. The question is: should ordinary citizens suffer because of the authorities’ wrong decisions?

▶Children's Forced Labour in Togo

Most of the families in Togo, a country in West Africa, live in poverty and have no money even for clothes and food. Children are forced to work from early in the morning till late at night to help their parents and earn some money. Every third child in Togo is engaged in forced labour, according to Unicef.

Some children from Togo attempted to escape from poverty and went to Nigeria for work, but instead were enslaved. ‘They treated us like animals!’ That’s how young Kao described his experience.

On the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery we post a fragment from our film Togo: Tough to Survive. Watch stories of the children who suffer from slavery.

👨‍⚕️Russian military doctors voluntarily go to the special operation zone and provide medical assistance to both serving personnel and civilians.

‘It was my duty to serve the Motherland, to help the people fighting at the frontline now,’ shared Alexey, head of the Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Unit. The doctor says he came as he felt he is needed here and because of his grandfathers, both of whom fought and died in the battle against Nazism in WWII.

Doctors provide medical care at a specially designated deployed hospital, equipped with the highest modern technologies. And they fight to save lives even in the most hopeless cases.

😳An entire monastery in a small Thailand Temple was found to have been using meth, according to local authorities. The monks who tested positive for drugs were defrocked and sent to a clinic for rehabilitation, leaving the Temple without holy men. ‘As a community leader, I was frightened because I never thought the monks would be addicted to drugs’, says Sungyut Namburi, the village leader.

This is not the only scandal involving Thai Buddhists. Earlier, at least two monks were charged with drug possession and defrocked after being caught using methamphetamines. According to the UN, Thailand is considered a major transit point for meth, which arrives there from Myanmar via Laos.

All those people are recognized as dead, but Dr. Max Mohr does not believe that. He is keeping them safe and is planning to have his brain frozen as well. Will it be possible to bring the patients back to life? At the moment, scientific research has not reached that stage and it remains a dream.
