    o19 25th June 2021 THIS WEEK’S HEADLINES Worldwide cases of COVID-19 are at 179,960,300 with deaths totalling 3,899,016 globally as of 23rd June according to Worldometer. So far, 164,727,197 people have recovered from the virus. Sir Jeffery Donaldson has been confirmed as the new leader of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) after recently elected Edwin Poots resigned last week. Paul Givan’s position, as the newly elected First Minister of Northern Ireland, is seen to be at risk as many party officers call for his resignation. A new tool, designed to help young people remove compromised images of themselves from online platforms, has been launched by the Internet Watch Foundation in partnership with Childline. The ‘Report, Remove’ tool is for any under 18s to use and requests are actioned within two hours for a UK site and within one day for international sites. For further information, advice and guidance please click here. Some UK phones randomly gave off a short loud alarm on Tuesday 22nd June as the UK tested its emergency alert system. Between 1-2pm on Tuesday some Google Android users reported their phones setting off a noise with a brief message flashing up saying: ‘This is a mobile network operator test of the Emergency Alerts Service. You do not need to take any action. To find out more, search for gov.uk/alerts.’ The UK Government advised the emergency alert system will be used for sending alerts relating to life endangerment. A further test will be carried out on 29th June 2021.

  • Political Affairs Digest a Daily Summary of Political Events Affecting the Jewish Community
    19 May 2021 Issue 2,123 Political Affairs Digest A daily summary of political events affecting the Jewish Community Contents Home Affairs Relevant Legislation Israel Consultations Foreign Affairs Back issues Home Affairs House of Commons Oral Answers Antisemitic Attacks col 411 Mr Speaker: Before I call the Secretary of State to respond to the urgent question, I have a short statement to make. I know that all Members will be deeply concerned by the footage of apparently antisemitic behaviour that appeared online yesterday. I understand that a number of individuals have been arrested in relation to the incident, but that no charges have yet been made. Therefore, the House’s sub judice resolution is not yet formally engaged. However, I remind all Members to exercise caution and avoid referring to the details of specific cases in order to avoid saying anything that might compromise any ongoing investigation or subsequent prosecution. … Robert Halfon (Conservative): To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if she will make a statement on recent antisemitic attacks across the UK. The Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government (Robert Jenrick): No one could fail to be appalled by the disgraceful scenes of antisemitic abuse directed at members of the Jewish community in the past week. In Chigwell, Rabbi Rafi Goodwin was hospitalised after being attacked outside his synagogue. In London, activists drove through Golders Green and Finchley, both areas with large Jewish populations, apparently shouting antisemitic abuse through a megaphone. These are intimidatory, racist and extremely serious crimes. The police have since made four arrests for racially aggravated public order offences and have placed extra patrols in the St John’s Wood and Golders Green areas.

  • Briefing Paper: Climate Legislation in Northern Ireland and Cross-Border Cooperation
    Briefing Paper: Climate Legislation in Northern Ireland and Cross-Border Cooperation Jean-Christophe Chang and Anna Puchot August 2021 Climate legislation in Northern Ireland 1 Introduction In summer 2019, the United Kingdom government sets an ambitious target of 100% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 compared to 1990, overturning the target set by the Climate Change Act 2008.1 This was a result of the claim widely shared by public bodies, scientists and civil society that significant measures must be taken in response to global warming. Nevertheless, if the UK government and Parliament are supported and advised by an independent body such as the Climate Change Committee (CCC), what about devolved governments, especially when it comes to Northern Ireland? The latter recently saw the launch by a Member of the Legislative Assembly of proposed legislation that includes provision for an independent body overseeing climate change concerns. This was followed by the introduction of another climate change bill by Northern Ireland’s Agriculture and Environment Minister. Importantly, Northern Ireland’s geographical location offers a seemingly favourable context concerning cooperation on environmental management with the Republic of Ireland (RoI). However, while both governments are placing the challenges of protecting biodiversity and fighting against climate change in their respective governmental programmes, this Briefing Paper questions the extent to which such cooperation between the two jurisdictions is encouraged by the proposed legislation. Recent developments The ‘New Decade, New Approach’ agreement (NDNA) of January 2020 engaged the restored Northern Ireland Executive to bring forward a Climate Change Act to give environmental targets a strong legal underpinning.
