U.N. warns the world must end its ‘suicidal war’
The United Nations General Assembly is gathering in person for the first time in three years
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres used his address to highlight the ongoing climate crisis and the war in Ukraine.
He says the world must end its “suicidal war against nature” adding this “must be the first priority of every government and multilateral organisation”.
The Secretary-General is calling for global greenhouse gas emissions to be slashed by 45% by 20-30 if we want to have “any hope of reaching net zero by 2050.”
His comments follow Europe’s worst heatwave since the Middle Ages, as well as droughts in China, the United States and beyond.
He pointed out that G20 countries are responsible for 80 per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions, but the poorest nations are bearing its most brutal impacts.
TikTok is tightening its regulations on influencers who promote weight-loss drugs like Ozempic.
With over 170 million users in the US, the app aims to prevent the spread of potentially harmful content related to rapid weight loss.
Starting in May, TikTok will prohibit influencers from posting “before-and-after” photos and restrict minors from accessing weight-loss content deemed risky. The crackdown extends to any content promoting drastic weight loss methods, aiming to combat the promotion of unrealistic body standards.
However, some influencers, like Dave Knapp and Kim Carlos, criticise the move, arguing it discriminates against those with health conditions. Others fear losing their income as TikTok takes down their content, prompting concerns about the platform’s future amid potential US bans.
As TikTok enforces stricter guidelines, influencers may seek alternative platforms to share weight-loss content. Despite the popularity of drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy, the crackdown reflects growing concerns about the impact of such promotions on user health.
