"Respect for our shared human rights should set the guardrails for the platform's use and evolution," Turk said in the letter. In the letter, the UN Human Rights chief urged Twitter to stand up for the right to privacy, and stressed that Twitter has a responsibility to avoid amplifying content that results in harm to other people's rights. Musk completed a deal to buy Twitter at $44 billion in October, gaining control of the social network company. According to media reports, on Friday Twitter laid off thousands of employees in departments across the company as part of an aggressive plan to trim costs.

Safari expressed hope that the remaining parts of the MoU would also turn into contracts within one month, adding that negotiations in this regard are underway. He noted that the gas swap deal between Iran and Russia is also being finalized, saying the only issue left undecided is choosing an intermediary country for sending the Russian gas to Iran. The Minister said Iran's plan is to import Russia's gas while exporting Iranian gas to foreign markets, noting that it benefits his country by reducing the costs of transferring Iranian gas from the southern regions to the north. The joint project will also help increase political solidarity among Iran, Russia and intermediary countries, such as Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan, and thus, will contribute to the region's political stability, security and peace, Safari added. He noted that in the coming days, the two countries would also agree on the details of a contract for swapping oil and petroleum products, which was discussed in October during a visit by Oil Minister Javad Owji to Russia. Safari said the two countries' focus in their oil swap negotiations is on an annual target of 10 million tonnes.

A forest fire on Chile's <keyword id="695679" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="easter-island" source="Orion">Easter Island</keyword> in early October damaged at least 177 <keyword id="6433197" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="moai" source="Orion">Moai</keyword> or sacred monolithic statues, <keyword id="6361804" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="unesco" source="Orion">Unesco</keyword> said. The report followed an exploratory mission to the island on October 17-21 led by the director of Unesco's regional office in Chile, Claudia Uribe, reports <keyword id="106387" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="xinhua-news-agency" source="Orion">Xinhua news agency</keyword>. The mission evaluated the need for emergency Unesco funds to help assess the scale of the damage to the <keyword id="76700" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="world-heritage-site" source="Orion">World Heritage Site</keyword>, and strengthen its comprehensive management and protection plan. "The idea is to focus this aid on diagnostic tasks to evaluate the extent of the damage caused by the fire and determine the necessary actions to recover the park and its future protection," said Uribe. The fire spread over approximately 240 hectares, damaging vegetation and archaeological structures, including 177 Moai, according to an initial report from Chile's National Forestry Corporation. Moai are "stone witnesses of a society of Polynesian origin that from the 10th to the 16th century built sanctuaries and statues that make up an incomparable cultural legacy that fascinates the entire world", said Unesco. Located in the Pacific Ocean, Easter Island encompasses 163.6 square kilometres and is home to some 7,750 inhabitants, concentrated mainly in Hanga Roa, the capital and only town on the island. Easter Island has nearly 1,000 of the Moai which have oversized heads and generally stand about 13 ft high. The largest statue weighs 74 tonnes and stands at a height of 32 ft. The figures were carved by the indigenous Rapa Nui people sometime between the years 1400 and 1650 and positioned to form a ring around the island, facing inland. The statues symbolised spiritual devotion for the Rapa Nui, embodying the spirit of a prominent ancestor. Each one was considered to be the person's living incarnation.

"Emerging markets and developing countries have stressed that for them, it is paramount that they have the opportunity to drive growth and employment on the basis of a more integrated global economy," Georgieva said at a press conference during the IMF and <keyword id="6354424" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="world-bank" source="Orion">World Bank</keyword> annual meetings in response to a question from <keyword id="106387" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="xinhua-news-agency" source="Orion">Xinhua news agency</keyword>. That was also a message coming from small advanced economies, Georgieva noted, referring to the meeting of the International Monetary and Financial Committee (<keyword id="165152" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="imfc" source="Orion">IMFC</keyword>), the policy advisory committee of the IMF Board of Governors. "The predominant mood in the room was we cannot possibly allow fragmentation to happen because everybody would be poorer, but it would be devastating for low-income and, for emerging markets and developing economies," said the IMF chief. Georgieva said that a simulation showed that for advanced economies, global economic fragmentation would mean a loss of 2 per cent of output, while for emerging markets and developing economies, it could be 10 to 15 per cent. Nadia Calvino, Spain's first vice president and minister for economy and digitalization, who is the chair of the IMFC, also highlighted the risk of fragmentation. In the Chair's Statement of the 46th Meeting of the IMFC, Calvino said the global economy is subject to increased fragmentation risks and the IMFC reiterates its call for greater international cooperation to prevent fragmentation and safeguard global economic integration. Looking back, Georgieva noted that an integrated economy led to the tripling of the world economy in the last decades, in which emerging markets and developing economies quadrupled, and advanced economies doubled. "So if we want to have a secure future, we do need to retain that efficiency that comes from an integrated economy," she added.

Fifty-four developing economies accounting for more than half of the world's poorest people need urgent debt relief as a result of "cascading global crises", the <keyword id="127895" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="un-development-program" source="Orion">UN Development Program</keyword> (<keyword id="55837" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="undp" source="Orion">UNDP</keyword>) said on Tuesday. It warned of the risks of inaction in a new paper, noting that if these countries do not get access to effective debt restructuring, poverty will rise and desperately needed investments in climate adaptation and mitigation will not happen, reports <keyword id="106387" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="xinhua-news-agency" source="Orion">Xinhua news agency</keyword>. The 54 countries with severe debt problems include 28 of the world's top 50 most climate-vulnerable nations, the paper said. "The international community should not wait until interest rates drop or a global recession kicks in to take action," it said. "The time to avert a prolonged development crisis is now." For wealthy countries, debt relief would be "a small pill" to swallow, yet the cost of inaction is brutal for the world's poorest, said Achim <keyword id="1388010" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="steiner" source="Orion">Steiner</keyword>, administrator of the program. "We cannot afford to repeat the mistake of providing too little relief, too late, in managing the developing economy debt burden," Steiner said in a statement. The paper laid out several policy actions for debt restructuring that could help stop the debt crisis in its tracks, proposing a way forward for the G20's <keyword id="6509730" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="common-framework" source="Orion">Common Framework</keyword> for Debt Treatments with a focus on key areas including debt sustainability analysis, official creditor coordination and private creditor participation.

"We see a new wave of Covid-19 in many members of the <keyword id="6355110" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="european-union" source="Orion">European Union</keyword>," <keyword id="106387" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="xinhua-news-agency" source="Orion">Xinhua news agency</keyword> quoted Marco Cavaleri, head of <keyword id="14398398" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="biological-health-threats-and-vaccines-strategy" source="Orion">Biological Health Threats and Vaccines Strategy</keyword> of the EMA, as saying during an online press conference from Amsterdam. "The wave is driven by BA.4 and BA.5 which are highly-transmissible," Cavaleri added. "Based on current predictions, BA.4 and BA.5 are expected to become dominant across the European countries, likely replacing all other variants by the end of July." In April, the EMA already advised people aged 80 and above to get a second booster vaccine. Now, Cavaleri repeated that message and also suggested a second booster for those aged from 60 to 79, as well as medically vulnerable people of any age. "Although there is no evidence that the variants make people sicker than earlier strains of the virus, the increase in transmission among older age groups is starting to translate into severe diseases," Cavaleri said. "As this new wave is unfolding across Europe, it is essential to maintain the protection of vulnerable groups and avoid any postponement of vaccination." The EMA is open to various next-generation Covid vaccines and willing to consider those adapted to the currently predominant Omicron subvariants. However, these vaccines could come too late for the autumn vaccination campaigns planned by the EU member states, according to Cavaleri. The EMA therefore indicated a preference so far for vaccines already authorized. "The authorized vaccines still give good protection against increased hospitalization, severe illness and death," Cavaleri said.

More than 92,000 child Covid-19 cases were reported for the week ending July 21, the second consecutive weekly increase of reported cases, according to the report. More than 311,000 child Covid-19 cases have been added in the past four weeks. Nearly 6.1 million reported cases have been added in 2022, <keyword id="106387" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="xinhua-news-agency" source="Orion">Xinhua news agency</keyword> reported. There is an urgent need to collect more age-specific data to assess the severity of illness related to new variants as well as potential longer-term effects, said the AAP. "It is important to recognise there are immediate effects of the pandemic on children's health, but importantly we need to identify and address the long-lasting impact on the physical, mental, and social well-being of this generation of children and youth," the AAP added.

<keyword id="8692" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="INDONESIA" source="Orion">Indonesia</keyword> has planned to develop the production of red palm cooking oil and build some pilot factories in Sumatra and <keyword id="14490943" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kalimantan" source="Orion">Kalimantan</keyword> islands to support the industry, the country's Minister for Cooperatives, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises, Teten Masduki said. He added that the red palm cooking oil was expected to be an alternative option for the people because its selling prices were relatively cheaper than the widely-used refined, bleached and deodorised (<keyword id="1064444" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="rbd" source="Orion">RBD</keyword>) palm oil, <keyword id="106387" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="xinhua-news-agency" source="Orion">Xinhua news agency</keyword> reported.
