Must ReadHans Kluge, World Health Organization WHO Regional Director for Europe, stated on Tuesday that Europe is ill-prepared for extreme heatwaves. Less than half of the countries in the European Region have national heat-health action plans, which the WHO deems essential. These plans are crucial for addressing health risks as temperatures rise. A new heatwave is forming over the Atlantic, with Portugal and southern Spain expected to reach 43 °C this week. France and the Benelux countries are also anticipating a new heat peak, and parts of Central Asia are experiencing 40 °C temperatures. Kluge emphasized the necessity for all countries to implement such plans, which should include early weather warnings, public awareness campaigns for vulnerable groups, and coordination among health, occupational health, social protection, housing, and urban planning authorities.
Must ReadAir Mauritius is initiating new legal and disciplinary actions based on the Kroll report, which scrutinizes decisions made regarding the sale, lease, and acquisition of aircraft. The report, examined by the Air Mauritius board of directors on June 25 and 29, 2026, has led to the involvement of the Financial Crimes Commission and the police, consideration of civil remedies, and the launch of disciplinary proceedings. Seven senior Air Mauritius executives have been suspended as a precautionary measure during an internal investigation. These individuals held key positions in finance, legal, planning, and procurement, with some having served on the Committee of Purchase involved in aircraft acquisition and leasing decisions. The Kroll mandate focused on three main areas: the sale of five aircraft during the voluntary administration period of 2020-2021, the lease of two A330-200s in 2022, and the order for an additional A350-900 in 2023. Between December 2014 and December 2024, Air Mauritius divested four aircraft, resulting in an estimated net loss of approximately Rs 1.2 billion. During the same period, eleven aircraft were added to the fleet through direct purchase, finance leases, and operating leases. The total costs for these acquisitions and leases were not disclosed due to confidentiality clauses. The Prime Minister informed Parliament that eleven aircraft were grounded a hundred times between 2014 and 2024 due to technical issues, unavailability of spare parts, lack of re
Must ReadResidents of Agaléga acknowledge and appreciate the kindness and generosity of Indian personnel working on the North Island, despite concerns about the opacity of a bilateral agreement between Mauritius and India regarding their island. Several Indian workers are set to depart Agaléga this week, leaving positive impressions on the local inhabitants. Development projects are ongoing, with two significant construction sites in preparation: a control tower and fuel storage facilities. Agaléens describe the Indian staff as kind, helpful, and respectful. For eight years, the local community and temporary Indian residents have maintained cordial relations. Agaléens understood that the Indians came to Agaléga for work and were not involved in the government-to-government agreement or geopolitical matters. The Agaléens have been welcoming, and the Indians have consistently offered assistance when needed. Mutual respect has grown over the years, even concerning security regulations. Residents have respected passage restrictions in strategic areas, such as near the airstrip and jetty, despite having previously moved freely across the islands. Indians reside in a designated area on the North Island, with social interactions typically limited to island festivities where Indian hierarchical officials are invited and share traditional sweets. When Indians celebrate, they often invite Agaléen musicians. Indian expertise has benefited Agaléens, improving access roads and assisting with gener
