Vice President Kashim Shettima has restated the Federal Government’s commitment to improving healthcare delivery in Nigeria, especially in rural areas. Recognizing the critical role of medical professionals in Nigeria’s healthcare ecosystem, Shettima assured of the government’s commitment to support and retain healthcare talent in the country. Speaking during a visit by a delegation from the West African College of Physicians (WACP), Vice President Shettima commended healthcare professionals for their dedication to serving the nation, despite challenges. “Yours is a very noble profession and many of the young ones are opting to leave the country but you did not. It’s not because you have not had options, but you felt a moral obligation to stay at home and serve,” he said. The Vice President assured the delegation that the government, under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is committed to addressing healthcare challenges. He highlighted the appointment of Professor Muhammadu Ali Pate as the Coordinating Minister for Health and Social Welfare, noting the Minister’s deep understanding of the health sector. “We will treat members of our professional bodies with dignity and respect. We will provide the enabling ground for you to work in Nigeria,” VP Shettima promised. Recalling his efforts to support healthcare education in Borno State, the Vice President said, “In 2014, as governor of Borno State, I took it upon myself to sponsor female citizens of the state to study Medicine and Surgery in Sudan. “The students have all graduated and licensed by the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) to practice medicine in Nigeria and are under the employment of the state government.” He emphasised the government’s moral obligation to assist the people, saying, “We have a moral obligation to assist our people. In the fullness of time, we will have a course to rejoice. We will support you.” Earlier, the leader of the delegation, Dr. Jeremiah Aboi Madaki, thanked the Vice President for his support of the 48th Annual General and Scientific Conference of the West African College of Physicians. Madaki expressed optimism about the government’s commitment to improving healthcare systems, even as he shared the communique of the conference with the Vice President. “We are here to thank you for your encouragement and for advancing discussions on health system revitalization under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda,” he said. Dr Madaki also assured of the College’s commitment to policy advocacy and its plans to work closely with the government to implement evidence-based policies that improve healthcare outcomes in Nigeria. Other members of the delegation included Dr. Habibu Galadanci, Dr. Ogugua Osi-Ogbu and Dr. Tahir Umar.A landmark defence pact between North Korea and Russia, signed by its leaders in June, has gone into effect after the two sides exchanged ratification documents, North Korea's official KCNA news agency said Thursday. The formalization of the treaty comes as the United States and South Korea have accused the nuclear-armed North of sending more than 10,000 soldiers to help Russia fight Ukraine. Experts say North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is keen to acquire advanced technology from Moscow and battle experience for his troops in return. Kim and Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the strategic partnership deal during the Kremlin chief's visit to Pyongyang. It obligates both states to provide military assistance "without delay" in the case of an attack on the other, and to jointly oppose Western sanctions. It came into effect from Wednesday, when the ratification documents were exchanged in Moscow by the countries' vice foreign ministers Kim Jong Gyu and Andrei Rudenko, KCNA reported. Lawmakers in Moscow last month voted unanimously for the deal and it was later signed by Putin. Pyongyang said it was ratified by a decree from Kim. The treaty will serve "as a strong driving force accelerating the establishment of an independent and just multi-polarized world order without domination, subjugation and hegemony," KCNA said. Analysts have suggested Pyongyang could be using Ukraine as a means of realigning its foreign policy. By sending soldiers, North Korea is positioning itself within the Russian war economy as a supplier of weapons, military support and labour — potentially even bypassing traditional ally, neighbour and main trading partner China, they say. North Korea and Russia have strengthened their military ties since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Both countries are under rafts of UN sanctions -- the former for its nuclear weapons programme and the latter for the Ukraine conflict. Kim said last week during a visit to Pyongyang by Russian Defence Minister Andrei Belousov that his government, army and people would "invariably support the policy of the Russian Federation to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity". Putin hailed the deal in June as a "breakthrough document". (Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)

Watch for the HBO Original comedy special “James Acaster: Hecklers Welcome,” set to debut on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. According to the website, this is Acaster’s first HBO special in which the comedian explores his love/hate relationship with standup — while he welcomes a heckle or two by relinquishing control of his set and accepting a healthy dose of audience interference – a/k/a heckling. With a keen eye and unparalleled wit, Acaster shares hilarious “meta-analysis” of his own material, along with stories from his childhood that spurred him to pursue a career in comedy – from his participation in his grandmother’s spinning wheel workshop at school to his impersonation of Prince Charles at age six. HOW TO WATCH AND STREAM THE SPECIAL The presentation is set to debut Saturday, Nov. 23 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on HBO. If you don’t have a cable subscription to HBO, the special is available to stream on Max. If you’re not already a subscriber to Max, the cheapest way to see the special is via a one-month subscription for just $9.99. A LITTLE SNEAK PEEK MORE ON THE SHOW In front of a live audience at the Royal & Derngate theatre in Northampton, England, Acaster unleashes his infectious energy as he delves into what initially drew him to the stage and what keeps him there. “Performing in the round, in a theatre I went to growing up, with the audience chipping in whenever they felt like it, meant this was the most I’ve enjoyed filming a special, and I’m delighted it’s coming to HBO,” said Acaster. “Also I jumped onto the stage via a trampoline and I don’t want that to go unacknowledged.” Nina Rosenstein, executive vice president, HBO Programming, Late Night & Specials, notes, “We’re longtime fans of James and are so thrilled to work with him. This special is a bold concept — not many comedians would allow hecklers at their shows; fewer still would openly encourage them to interrupt a live taping of their set, but James has never been one to approach his comedy in a traditional way. Filmed in his hometown somewhere in the middle of England, HECKLERS WELCOME is a hilarious and brilliantly strange hour where James examines his complicated relationship with comedy.” A LITTLE ABOUT ACASTER A master at what he does best, Acaster has received critical acclaim from around the world, including a record-breaking five consecutive nominations for Best Comedy Show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festivals from 2012-2016. In 2017, he toured the country with a three-show trilogy, “Recognise,” “Represent,” and “Reset,” performing consecutively over three nights in each venue. In 2019 he completed a long tour of his successful show “Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999′′ around the UK, Australia, and America. Acaster is also a Sunday Times bestselling author, with “Classic Scrapes,” “Perfect Sound Whatever,” and his most recent book, “James Acaster’s Guide to Quitting Social Media.” He also has three hit podcasts: “Off Menu,” which he co-hosts with Ed Gamble, “Perfect Sounds,” and his latest release, “Springleaf,” which he wrote and stars.With increasing awareness of environmental issues, sustainable and green living practices are becoming more prevalent in the housing rental market.

Three factors explain the JMM’s big victory – it is the biggest ever in the state’s history – in these elections: complete consolidation of its core constituency among Scheduled Tribe (ST) voters, better outreach among non-ST voters with a wider alliance, identity agnostic welfare schemes, and some external help from a nativist party making its debut which hurt the BJP alliance far more than the JMM alliance. Let us take the 28 ST reserved assembly constituencies . The JMM led alliance has won 27 of them this time. This is the third time in a row the JMM alliance has increased its seat count in the ST reserved ACs at the cost of the BJP. Because, the JMM led alliance had pretty much all of the ST reserved ACs in 2019 as well, a better measure of its growing dominance in the ST reserved ACs is its vote share which has increased from 43% to 51% between 2019 and 2024. See Chart 1: But even wining all the ST ACs would have not given the JMM a majority in the state. This is exactly what happened in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. The JMM led alliance won all five of the ST reserved parliamentary constituencies (PCs) but the BJP led alliance won the remaining nine PCs. This is why the real story of these elections is the JMM alliance’s performance in the remaining 53 ACs. Not only has the alliance won a 55% seat share in these ACs, it is for the first time that the JMM has won more non-ST reserved ACs than the BJP in the state’s history. Clearly, the allies also played their role. Both the Congress and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) have improved their strike rates compared to the 2019 assembly elections. The new entrant to the alliance, the Communist Party of India Marxist Leninist Liberation or CPI ML also won two of the four ACs it contested. Both of them had gone to the BJP in the last election. While it is difficult to provide statistics, the cash transfer scheme Maiya Samman Yojna must have played a part in this wider appeal of the JMM among non-ST voters who would have been more concerned about tangible gains than questions of identity or dignity. See Chart 2: Last but not the least is the tailwind from a disruptor in these elections. The Jharkhand Loktantrik Krantikari Morcha (JLKM) made its debut in these elections and contested 68 ACs. The JLKM has been founded by Jairam Kumar Mahato, who is primarily interested in mobilising the Mahato (Kurmi) voters in the North Chotanagpur sub-region of the state. While Jharkhand does not have caste-wise demographic data, Mahatos are believed to be a politically important demography in these parts. The JLKM has managed to win just one AC, but it played spoiler in 14 ACs. A seat is considered to be lost to other parties playing spoiler if the party finishing third has more vote share than the victory margin. Of the 17 seats the BJP alliance has lost to spoilers, the JLKM was the spoiling party in 11. Three of these had been given to the BJP ally All Jharkhand Students Union (AJSU) which until now was considered to be the main political front of Mahato voters. AJSU has won just one of the 10 ACs it contested. To be sure, the JLKM also spoilt three seats for the JMM alliance . While the JMM alliance has gained from the JLKM’s debut in the state’s politics in these elections, the party could change the course of Jharkhand’s politics in the future.In the highly anticipated Champions League clash between Bayern Munich and Barcelona, the stage is set for a thrilling encounter between two European football giants.
