LONDON, United Kingdom, Jan 22 – France and Germany have set wheels in motion to return more items plundered from former African colonies. Sissia said the research teams seeking to clarify the provenance of the African items will need to be led by mixed French and German members from academia and the nations’ museums but must also have partnerships with African nations and collaborate closely with African professionals. The establishment of the fund followed France’s President Emmanuel Macron promising in 2017 to “do everything possible” to return items to African nations that had been looted by colonial France. Paris followed that up by returning 26 items to the West African nation of Benin in 2021. “France and Germany have understood that this issue is essential for today’s dialogue with African countries,” he said.

PETALING JAYA: Civil society organisations (CSO) are calling for increased transparency and accountability to be implemented in the Independent Police Conduct Commission (IPCC) to prevent further depletion of public trust in police forces. This included the IPCC’s inability to conduct searches and seizures or make unannounced visits to police lock-ups or take direct disciplinary action themselves against offending police officers. "This may worsen the already rising trust deficit between the public and law enforcement due to the recent spike in severe cases of police misconduct. He added the IPCC must address the lack of up-to-date data transparency on cases of police misconduct through releasing frequent updates on the police misconduct cases and statistics. "They must also be clear on who will be held accountable should any issues arise from the members," he said.

London: Tata Steel Ltd plans to shut down two loss-making blast furnaces at its steelworks in Port Talbot, after last year securing government financing to convert the historic site in Wales into a production hub for recycled steel. The widely expected move comes after it reached a deal with the British government for £500mil in funding to support its transition to making steel in electric arc furnaces. Port Talbot’s blast furnaces and coke ovens are expected to be decommissioned this year, and Tata expects 2,500 roles to be impacted within the next 18 months. Opposition lawmaker Stephen Kinnock, whose constituency Aberavon is home to the Port Talbot steelworks, told Sky News last Friday that the move by Tata was “deeply disappointing”. “We’ve got a plan that’s been cobbled together between Tata Steel and the British government which is going to use £500mil of taxpayers money to make 3,000 men and women redundant,” the Labour Party lawmaker said.

The Gen Z Party is hoping to officially become a party later this year, to represent what it believes are the political interests of those born after 1997. Their smallness means micro parties usually can't sway people away from traditional voting lines, though the Gen Z party hopes its influencer strategy will help it make a mark. "TikTok influencers are just Gen Z kids who are sharing their life and their perspective with the world," Gen Z Party founder Thomas Dolan told The Feed. The Gen Z Party hasn't published the costings on how this would work. Dolan suggests 'Gen Z allies' like their slightly older predecessors the millenials, might also vote for the party.
