King Charles marks 76th birthday at ‘surplus food festival’

King Charles III has marked his 76th birthday on Thursday by opening two food distribution hubs, as part of his Coronation Food Project that he launched a year ago in the hopes of bridging the gap between food poverty and food waste. Charles visited one of the new hubs in south London, which is hosting a "surplus food festival" where meals will be made using food that might otherwise have gone to waste. He was due to open the second Coronation Food Hub in Merseyside in northwest England, in a virtual ceremony. King Charles III arrives to inaugurate the Coronation Food Project hub, located at the Deptford Trading Estate, in South East London, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, to celebrate his 76th birthday and the first anniversary of the Coronation Food Project.

Australia backs Palestinians’ ‘permanent sovereignty’ at UN in significant foreign policy shift

Australia has voted to recognise Palestinians' "permanent sovereignty" over their natural resources in a significant foreign policy shift that breaks with the US and Israel. Votes in favour of two United Nations draft resolutions on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT) are the latest in a series of more pro-Palestinian votes Australia has taken at the global body, angering local pro-Israel groups but draw praise from Palestinian advocates. The draft resolution in the UN's Second Committee recognised the "permanent sovereignty of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and of the Arab population in the occupied Syrian Golan over their natural resources". Votes on both resolutions will now go to the UN's General Assembly. (AP Photo/Julia Ni...

Haka erupts in New Zealand parliament over controversial bill

A group of New Zealand MPs broke into a spirited haka in the country's parliament this week, interrupting a vote on a controversial bill in spectacular fashion. The Treaty Principles Bill, brought by ACT leader David Seymour, seeks to impose a new interpretation of the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi (also known as Te Tiriti), a treaty between Māori chiefs and the British crown that is considered one of the founding documents of New Zealand. Advocates for the new bill claim it offers equality to all New Zealand citizens and will remove "privileged" treatment for Māori, while opponents say the bill is either too simplistic, or that it further entrenches social barriers and prejudice that Māori face. Te Pāti Māori MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke tears up a copy of the Treaty Princi...

Trump picks Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be his Department of Health and Human Services secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has picked Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be his next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, a choice that would add to Trump's list of provocative picks whose confirmation processes will test the loyalty of Senate Republicans. Trump on Thursday announced the selection, confirming CNN's earlier reporting, saying he was thrilled to share the pick. "The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country," Trump said in a post on X. Trump chooses...
