1/ Global Development Delay. Roux’s development is severely delayed. No doubt a mixture of brain injury, spending the first year of life mostly laid in a hospital bed and operations one after the other has contributed towards this. When we were told we may need to consider …

2/ end of life care, we were also told that even if he did survive he will probably never develop beyond a newborn and we needed to be prepared for that. But, Roux is smashing goal after goal. First, would he ever hold his head up? Would he smile? Could he play?

3/ Roux is all over the place developmentally. We can’t put an age to him. We work on small steps with him. Speech, feeding independently, feeding with a loaded spoon/fork, throwing, bashing toys, these are the types of things we have worked through. The first time Roux does …

4/ Anything is celebrated with such enthusiasm. The things you normally take for granted. High 5s, a new word or turning a page of his musical book have all meant so much. Roux’s gross and fine motor skills are the biggest challenges as he’s unable to walk and intricate play …

5/ Is still a way off but he will get there. The determination this boy has had so far to get through what he has, tells us he will just keep going and going. We focus on what he can do rather than what he can’t, otherwise you get dragged into self pity and we’ve learnt that’s ..

6/ not a nice place to be. He’s full of personality, brings so much joy to our lives and has the most infectious giggle. We don’t know what he’s capable of but what we do know is that this boy will not give in. #braintumourawarenessmonth

This young man has made me smile watching him prove others wrong. He will go far but only in his time not everyone else’s. Your such a little happy man Roux you keep braking through hurdles

Thanks for sharing Roux’s story. I’m the father of a 39 year old who is developmentally challenged—he remains my greatest teacher and inspirational source. The key you mentioned in tweet/5–focus on what people can do, not what they can’t. Great life lesson writ large.

Excellencies, Distinguished Delegates, It is an honour to address this Biennial Summit. We gather at a moment when the 2030 Agenda is in peril. It is estimated that we need to close a financing gap of $4 trillion annually if we are to meeting the Sustainable Development Goals. A succession of crises has exposed the fragility of our interconnected economies and revealed deep inequities in our capacity to respond. While some nations are able to mobilise trillions to shield their citizens and economies from pandemics and other emergencies, others are left constrained by debt and denied fair access to global capital. We should use this Summit to push for the full implementation of commitments made across various forums – from the Financing for Development process to the #G20 and Climate Change COP. We must strengthen coordination between the UN, the African Union, the G20, international financial institutions and other global financial actors, embedding inclusivity at the heart of global economic governance. To close the SDG financing gap, we need to undertake the following bold measures: Firstly, we need debt relief and restructuring that is faster, fairer and more comprehensive. Secondly, we need to mobilise affordable, accessible financing from a wide range of sources. Thirdly, we need to rechannel unused Special Drawing Rights to countries in need. Fourthly, we must scale up concessional finance through development banks. Lastly, we must reform global tax rules to curb illicit financial flows Beyond financial instruments, we need confidence that commitments will be honoured and that global rules will be shaped by all members, not just a few. Let us forge a new compact for financing sustainable development rooted in solidarity, equity and mutual accountability. South Africa stands ready to ensure this Summit becomes a turning point in our collective effort to build a sustainable, inclusive and resilient global economy. I thank you. #UNGA80 🇺🇳

"The man was sick, in and out of the hospital. I remember when we went to one hospital with Comrade [Supra] Mahumapelo and we said we don't think you belong to this hospital. We communicated with president [Jacob] Zuma, and that's why arrangements were made to take him to Russia because we were not comfortable. Life is life, and so are the days of our lives. May his soul rest in peace" - Ace Magashule Watch: #Newzroom405

Deep Robotics "Emergency Rescue Drill" My take: 2026 will be the year we see the first widespread use of robots 1) as security bots, 2) in heavy-duty operations, 3) for search and rescue in difficult terrain – including firefighting operations. This is fantastic and a real benefit for all of humanity. I'm delighted that this development is progressing so quickly.

The American Academy of Achievement's Golden Plate Award has been presented for 60 years in recognition of contributions to human development. For the ingenuity that can only be realized in freedom. In today's world, we cannot afford to lose a single battle when, on one side, there is freedom, and on the other, everything we would never wish for our children. We all need victory. And we all know why.

Here is the full opening statement today before the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee from Lars Moravy, VP of Vehicle Engineering at Tesla. “ For America to maintain its position in global technological development and grow its advanced manufacturing capabilities, we must enact a federal framework for the development and deployment of AVs (autonomous vehicles). The committee has the opportunity to position NHTSA as a global gold standard for AV development.”

RFK Jr puts the measles hysteria to bed. “This has become a talking point for Democrats that somehow I caused the measles epidemic. The measles epidemic started in January 2025 - before I came into office.” “Most of the people affected are over the age of 5 years old, meaning their decision to not vaccinate predated my appointment to this office. We had about 2,200 measles cases last year and we had 1,700 this year. This is not unique to the United States. This is a global outbreak. Mexico had 3x the number of measles cases than we did. We did better than any other country in the world at controlling the epidemic. Mexico has 3x the number and it has 1/3 of the population. Canada has twice the number and it has 1/8 of our population. Europe had 33,000 cases in the last year and a 127,000 the year before and they have one half of our population. So the problem is not me.”

A single blueprint drawn to the end, seeing the governance of China through the rise of #Xiamen. Xiamen, one of China's first special economic zones and a gateway on the southeast coast. Visiting the exhibition on the achievements of the Xiamen Free Trade Zone, a display case in the center shows a more than 300-page thick "Xiamen Socioeconomic Development Strategy from 1985 to 2000." This is the earliest socio-economic development strategy plan with a 15-year span compiled by a local government in China. For over 30 years, Xiamen has firmly grasped the essence of the development strategy, adhering to the blueprint and continuing to work towards higher goals generation after generation.

Homelessness in the U.S. jumped 18.1% this year, hitting a record level. The rise is driven mostly by a lack of affordable housing, devastating natural disasters and a surge of migrants in parts of the country, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

🤬Russia has committed another war crime, striking a children’s hospital in Kherson Three medical workers and a nine-year-old girl were injured. The child suffered a blast injury and shrapnel wounds to her leg, while the hospital staff sustained blast injuries and wounds of varying severity. One man is in serious condition. The hospital building was severely damaged, and nearby structures were also hit by the blast wave. 🔻Shelling of civilian facilities — including healthcare institutions — is a gross violation of international humanitarian law.
