Children's rights are not a priority of the competent institutions in BiH, it was pointed out today during the presentation of the report on the state of children's rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina and at the roundtable on the implementation of the recommendations of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child.The Monitoring report on the state of children's rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina for the period 2019-2022 was presented at the UN headquarters in Sarajevo, prepared by non-governmental organizations, together with the Children's Monitoring report on the state of children's rights in Bosnia and Herzegovina, prepared by children and young people, representatives of nine children's groups from Bosnia and Herzegovina.<h2>Crucial mandate</h2>What UNICEF needs and can do and is a crucial mandate, said Sanja Kabil, who heads the education program at UNICEF, concerning the monitoring of the implementation of children's rights through the Convention on the Rights of the Child.- We cannot implement those recommendations, but we can provide support to the competent authorities who are obliged to work on it. We can be a voice where children cannot have their say and we will certainly do that, so that all that they said and the recommendations they gave are widely disseminated, that they are heard and reach those who decide on their implementation - said Kabil.<h2>UN Committee on Children's Rights</h2>Mirsada Bajramović, director of the "Land of Children in BiH" association, a member of the "Stronger Voice for Children" network, said that the findings of the alternative report on the state of children's rights show that the state of BiH has not implemented or complied with most of the recommendations of the UN Committee on Children's Rights, with very small number of recommendations that were implemented in the previous three-year period.- Certain progress has been achieved in the area of social protection when it comes to equalizing children's rights to child allowance, as well as when it comes to the position of caretaker parents, as well as the area of foster care. However, if we look at all other areas concerning children's rights, we can absolutely see that there is actually no progress - Bajramović pointed out, adding that children's rights are not a priority of the competent institutions in BiH.<h2>Universal health insurance</h2>All children in BiH, as she added, do not yet have the right to universal health insurance due to certain non-harmonization of the legislative framework with the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and children aged six to 15 who attend the educational process are especially at risk, and these are precisely the children who are victims of violence, abuse, human trafficking, etc.Bajramović stated that, unfortunately, child victims of violence in the existing legislative framework when it comes to the Federation of BiH and Brčko District of BiH are not recognized as beneficiaries of rights in the field of social protection.

The FBiH Minister of Agriculture, Water Management and Forestry Kemal Hrnjić, during the conversation with the Prime Minister of the Zenica-Doboj Canton Amra Mehmedić and the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Management of ZDC Vinko Marić, confirmed that the disease known as African swine fever has been registered in the territory of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.Hrnjić pointed out that even earlier this infection entered the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, through farms in the entity of RS, and since last week it is also present in the territory of FBiH.<h2>Occurrence of African swine fever</h2>- Unfortunately, since last week, we had doubts on several farms in the Posavina Canton, that it entered the FBiH. And here, with regret, I can state today that the doubts were justified. We analyzed as many as five farms, and on three farms we have the occurrence of African swine fever - said Hrnjić. It is a viral disease and it will be very difficult to stop the progression of that virus. The biggest responsibility lies with the farm owners, who must take all the preventive measures that were instructed by the FBiH Ministry 15-20 days ago.They must consistently implement them, they must do everything possible to slow down the spread of the virus to other farms as much as possible.<h2>A new challenge in the FBiH</h2>It will be very difficult, I expect it to be a new challenge in the FBiH, which awaits us in the Posavina Canton. But, I think our biggest producer of pigs is the West Herzegovina Canton, so it will be very difficult for the virus to progress," Minister Hrnjić warns.The situation, he notes, has already escalated in neighboring Croatia, so a fight is ahead in the territory of the FBiH as well.- We expect action from the state level. First of all, from the Council of Ministers of BiH and the Veterinary Agency of BiH. I expect their concrete steps, so we will see how we proceed - announced Hrnjić.

Heat records are being shattered all over the world and the summer swelter keeps coming.Around one-third of Americans are under some type of heat advisory, with the most blistering temperatures in the South and West, where even the regular simmer has turned up a notch.Visitors who braved California’s Death Valley baked under 128 degrees Fahrenheit (53.3 Celsius) heat over the weekend.<h2>Phoenix</h2>Phoenix&nbsp;is set to break its own record for consecutive days of highs of at least 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 Celsius) with organizations moving quickly to help the most vulnerable survive the searing temperatures with cool spaces and water.<h2>Europe</h2>In Europe, where temperatures are expected to top 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 Celsius) on Monday, many flocked to the water in an attempt to cool off. The broiling temperatures are expected to continue through the week, with parts of Spain and Turkey seeing wildfires as a result of the harsh, dry conditions.For most of July, the world has been in uncharted hot territory, according to the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer.A combination of long-term human-caused climate change from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas is making the world hotter by the decade, with the current El Nino adding even more heat.El Nino isn’t expected to peak until winter, so scientists predict next year will be even hotter.

Dotors have urged parents to get their children vaccinated against measles. Cases of the highly contagious Victorian disease are rising across the UK - but jab uptake is at a "shockingly bad" low.Dr Neil O'Brien, medical director of the North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care Board (ICB), said immunisation is "one of the most important things" any mum or dad can do.He said: We know that vaccines have saved more lives than any other medical invention in history. One person with measles can infect nine out of 10 close contacts. We're asking all parents, carers and guardians to make sure their children are up to date with both MMR doses and fully protected."It’s never too late to catch up, and you can get the MMR vaccine for free whatever your age."The expert warned that there were no cases of measles in the North East between 2019 and 2022, but the infection is now spreading. The latest figures show there were 49 cases in the UK in the first four months of 2023, compared to 54 in the whole of last year. Kirsten Watters, Camden Council’s director of health and wellbeing, described this increase as "extremely concerning".She added: "Measles is highly infectious and can cause serious and life threatening complications. It can also damage the immune system, putting you at risk of other infections even after you have recovered. I urge parents to check that their child has had two doses of the MMR vaccine, which is particularly important if they are at nursery, school, college or university."The illness, characterised by a red-brown blotchy rash or spots, can lead to serious health complications like meningitis and pneumonia.<h2>Can result in disability</h2>In rare cases, it can result in disability or can be fatal.An estimated 128,000 people globally died from measles in 2021, according to the World Health Organization. Most deaths were among the unvaccinated or children under the age of five.The measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine is part of routine childhood immunisations. It nearly wiped out the bug in the 2010s, but fewer people have been taking up the offer and Britain lost its "elimination" status in 2019 when there were 880 cases.<h2>Shockingly bad</h2>Jab rates in England are still well short (85 per cent) of the 95 per cent population coverage the WHO says is needed to curb outbreaks.Uptake varies hugely in England, dropping significantly in some areas of London, according to UK Health Security (UKHSA) data. In Hackney, east London, just 55.2 per cent of five-year-olds had both doses of the MMR jab.- This is shockingly bad and is begging for a big outbreak," Prof Helen Bedford, an expert in child public health at University College London - previously told The Sun."There is no question, we're going to see a surge of cases if things continue this way. So far, we've only seen limited outbreaks across the country, but we're likely to see more."NHS vaccines director Steve Russell said in May: "Since vaccination for measles cases was introduced, over 4,500 lives have been saved."The MMR vaccine has helped prevent the development of potentially life-threatening illness among millions, and it is clear that when uptake falls, infections rise. I strongly urge parents to review the status of their child’s vaccinations so they can keep them and others protected from measles, mumps and rubella."Measles is one of the world’s most infectious viruses and spreads by coughs, sneezes and close physical contact. Most people recover quickly from the disease, but the worst cases can trigger pneumonia, brain damage or death. All kids are offered two doses of the jab at ages one and three.Anyone can catch up on missed injections for free at any age.Parents can check that their children are fully up to date by checking their vaccine record in the red book.

There are often no obvious symptoms of kidney cancer, so it can be pretty tricky to spot.But experts say there are some signs of the killer disease you can be on the lookout for.The most common is blood in the urine, known as haematuria, according to Cancer Research UK.It won't necessarily be there all the time, but you should always see your GP if it's ever present.One of the more unusual indicators is "very heavy" sweating.The bizarre symptom, which often strikes at night, can also occur alongside a high temperature or fever.While most people who experience this won't have kidney cancer, it is important to get yourself checked out.<h2>Other symptoms worth keeping an eye on include:</h2>A lump or swelling in your back, under your ribs, or in your neck,Pain between your ribs and waist that does not go away,Loss of appetite,Losing weight without trying to,Feeling tired or having no energy,The kidneys are two small organs on either side of your spine, just below your ribs.<h2>Cancer of kidney</h2>They remove waste and extra fluid from the blood, turning it into pee.Cancer of the kidney, also called renal cancer, happens when abnormal cells start to divide and grow in an uncontrolled way.It is most common in people over 60, and is more frequently diagnosed in men than women.Smoking and being overweight or obese increase your risk of developing it.Around 13,300 kidney cancers are diagnosed in the UK each year, CRUK says.There are about 4,700 deaths annually - or 13 every day.It is the seventh most common cancer in the UK.How it is treated depends on what type of kidney cancer you have, where it is and how big it is, if it has spread, and your general health.Surgery, cryotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, targeted medicines, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are all options.

Minister of Foreign Affairs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Elmedin Konaković, told reporters today in Sarajevo that the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina will certainly be discussed, and that he is ready for talks, but not for blackmail.He added that the law on the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina must be passed.- If we do anything now under the pressure to force foreign judges, to introduce ethnic voting in the Constitutional Council, it would confirm the lies about us that we are there because of functions and that we meet some demands, which is not the case - pointed out Konaković.<h2>State property</h2>He added that they are ready to talk 24 hours a day about state property, the Constitutional Court, about everything from the 14 priorities, and to make a plan of when and what needs to happen.- When it comes to 14 priorities, the departure of foreign judges is not mentioned, but the resolution of the issue is mentioned. We are ready to meet and talk about this issue. We have some solutions ready for state property. Some people won't like them, but we can talk about them. We are ready to talk, but we are not ready to respond to any blackmail - emphasized Konaković.<h2>Constitutional Court</h2>He pointed out that the Constitutional Court is the most important issue for us in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a fixer for the bad decisions, a guarantor of the existence of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and no one can abuse the Constitutional Court".- We can talk about it, agree and we will never vote for it to be an ethnic possibility to stop any judicial process. We are ready for talks, but not for blackmail. If someone says to vote in favor of the foreign judges to leave the Constitutional Court today, and we will go on, there is no way forward. That is an ultimatum to which we do not agree. Let's agree to talk as soon as possible about state property, the Constitutional Court, its convocation, and the position of foreign judges, and not about their departure, i.e. leaving or staying, that's a topic we can talk about every day. We really don't have the strength for ultimatums - said Konaković.Asked if there was any indication of when the coalition partners would meet again, Konaković said that at the beginning of next week, they should "offer de-escalation, so let's say what is acceptable at this moment and what can drive BiH to move forward".

He added that the law on the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina must be passed

The Minister of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Staša Košarac, told reporters today in Sarajevo that Bosnia and Herzegovina has a defined foreign policy goal, which is membership in the European Union.- One of the activities was the Collegium for European Integration, given the fact that a meeting is being organized in Brussels mid next week, where we should discuss the situation in BiH with EU officials, from the aspect of fulfilling the 14 key priorities and some other political issues in Bosnia and Herzegovina - said Košarac.<h2>Questions and suggestions</h2>He added that all levels of government were in a position to present their questions and suggestions, that certain measures and initiatives were accepted to the most significant extent and that "in this context, we have a defined position of BiH as an act, a document that we will talk about in Brussels".- Republika Srpska submitted its comments, they were accepted, they are credible, and from that point of view, just as we presented the views of the institutions of the RS at the Collegium for European Integration, we will use the opportunity in Brussels to present our political views on the events in BiH - he said. He added that he believes that the most significant and important thing would be to adopt 14 priorities, "affirming the need to enact a law on the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is part of one of the priorities".- We clearly said that this is an issue that we will not back down from, we believe that the argument is on our side, that we have one anomaly that is obviously trying to promote that something in BiH can be decided without a representative of one of the constituent peoples, which is completely unacceptable - said Košarac. <h2>Constitutional Court of BiH</h2>He asserted that the current position of the Constitutional Court of BiH and the decisions made by the structure of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina are modeled in such a way that they make decisions harmful to the interests of the RS."We believe that in this period it would be significant and important to abolish the OHR and to dislocate the foreigners who are in the institutions of BiH and not to work there any longer," said Košarac.

He added that all levels of government were in a position to present their questions and suggestions, that certain measures and initiatives

UNHCR in BiH orgnaized today media workshop entitled 'Reporting on Mixed Migrations' where th participants discussed the correct terminology used in reporting on migration and refugees, as well as the effective use of photos and other visuals.&nbsp;<h2>Hate speech in the media</h2>Attention was also paid to hate speech in the media, that is, how to recognize and prevent it in media reporting.- I think the media is doing their best and we are grateful for that because the media is our very important partner in everything we do. However, the wrong terminology is used when reporting, either because of ignorance or the desire to speed up and shorten the news. This is how it happens that a certain group of people, including refugees or asylum seekers, is qualified by the term migrants. It is very important for us to understand together that migrants are people who leave their country voluntarily, while refugees are forced to do so - said Dejan Drobnjak, Head of the Communications Department at UNHCR BiH.<h2>Improvement</h2>He also added that the latest analysis of Bosnian media reporting showed a significant improvement, as correct terminology was used in almost 73 percent of analyzed texts or articles.The current situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially the Una-Sana Canton (USC), when it comes to the process of mixed migration, is also briefly analyzed.- It is true that the numbers in the reception centers are significantly different compared to previous years, but we at UNHCR are always focused on our primary task - the people who need some form of international protection outside their country, in this case in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Currently, we have about 160 people with an approved status of international protection and about 85 people who are at some stage of the process of seeking and granting asylum. When it comes to USC, we have five people who have been granted refugee or subsidiary protection status, as well as six people who are in the process of acquiring it - said Head of the UNHCR Field Office in Bihać, Vahidin Ogrešević.
