A New Perspective on Constantine

(Worthy News) – Holiday-makers are at risk of picking up and bringing home superbugs, according to a study looking at the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) worldwide.

Drug-resistant infections are already responsible for some 700,000 deaths globally each year, but it is estimated that this figure could rise to 10 million annually by 2050 if left unchecked.

The report, published by the Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy (CDDEP), found that tourists are contributing to the spread of AMR across international borders – with as many as 88 percent of unwell tourists returning to the UK from India infected with drug-resistant bacteria.

(Worthy News) – The American Civil Liberties Union has asked a federal court to block additional sections of President Donald Trump’s proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Attorneys asked the court to halt construction of a border wall in Southern California and three sections near Tucson, Ariz., late Wednesday. The ACLU, representing the Sierra Club and the Southern Border Communities Coalition, has a good chance of initially prevailing, given the same California court has already suspended the construction of sections in Yuma, Ariz., and El Paso, Texas.

The Justice Department on Wednesday said it would appeal a federal judge‘s decision to halt a $1 billion transfer of Pentagon counterdrug funding to cover expansions of the Yuma and El Paso sectors and asked the court to let construction proceed in the meantime. [ Source: Politico (Read More…) ]

(Worthy News) – Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov and chief Iranian nuclear negotiator Abbas Araqchi discussed the 2015 Nuclear Accord in Tehran on May 29, calling for a meeting of the six countries party to the agreement that would hear Iranian complaints.

Each “shared the hope that the situation will stabilize soon,” with Araqchi promising nevertheless that Iran was “ready for war” with the US if need be.

In early May Iranian leaders gave the remaining European signatories to the deal 60 days to find a workaround to Trump’s economic stranglehold on pain of Iran beginning its nuclear-capable enrichment of uranium again, which the 2015 accord stipulates against.

The US withdrew from the deal, which Trump has called “fatally flawed,” last year, instead opting to foist sanctions on the Islamic Republic designed to bring its oil exports to zero and bring it to the nuclear negotiating table on its knees.

Other detractors of the deal, like Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have criticized it for failing to address Iran’s extensive nuclear infrastructure, instead relying on guarantees from the Iranians not to enrich uranium beyond 3.76% verified only by the cursory inspections of UN officials.
