My Turn: Milleron running as antidote for MIA Rep. Neal
Heavily reliant on corporate donors, Neal has spent many years in Congress doing very little. Throughout his 34 years in Congress, Neal has consistently been the biggest recipient of corporate donations. Although he does not represent my district, Neal’s recent passivity as a representative has concerned me. Nadia Milleron, an attorney and the niece of consumer advocate Ralph Nader, is running as an independent to defeat Neal. “And where does Neal get much of his money?

Kenya’s Chepngetich smashes women’s marathon world record
Kenya’s Ruth Chepngetich put on a performance for the ages as she obliterated the women’s marathon world record in Chicago on Sunday, taking nearly two minutes off the previous best to win in an unofficial time of two hours, nine minutes and 56 seconds. Chepngetich ditched the competition by the halfway mark and ran through a chorus of cheers through the final straight as she claimed her third title in Chicago and crushed Ethiopian Tigst Assefa’s previous record of 2:11:53, set last year in Berlin. Ethiopia’s Sutume Kebede crossed the line seven minutes and 36 seconds later while Kenyan Irine Cheptai (2:17:51) was third. “This is my dream that has come true,” said Chepngetich, whose time was originally recorded as 2:09:57 but was later adjusted. Chepngetich set a blistering pace from the start, running the first five kilometres in 15 minutes flat and by the halfway mark she had built a 14-second cushion between herself and Kebede.

Africa: Egypt and Sudan reject new Nile River deal that just came into force
Egypt and Sudan have rejected the recently ratified Nile River Basin Cooperative Framework (CFA) agreement, which officially enters into force today, 13 October, after being ratified by six upstream countries. Egypt and Sudan have long argued that the CFA violates the 1929 and 1959 Nile River Agreements. The entry into force of the CFA comes after six Nile River basin countries – Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda – ratified the agreement at a meeting in Bujumbura, Burundi, earlier this year. The treaty signed in 1959, and still in force, assigns 75 percent of the waters to Egypt, leaving the remainder to Sudan. The most important of these initiatives was born in 2010 and was called the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI).

Boeing to cut workforce by 10%
SubscribeBoeing has announced plans to cut 10% of its global workforce as it faces financial pressures and production delays. Boeing also confirmed that production of the 767 Freighter will conclude in 2027, though work on the KC-46A Tanker will continue. The company’s defence division, Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS), is also struggling, with further losses expected due to the ongoing strike and other project delays. In light of these challenges, Boeing said it was “resetting” its workforce to better align with its “financial reality”, avoiding future furloughs by opting for a 10% reduction in staff. The cuts have heightened tensions with Boeing’s workforce, which has been striking over pay and working conditions.

OPINION: Nigeria Airways, Air Nigeria And The Air we Breathe
I am randomly picking on what was once the fabric of this truly great nation called Nigeria and this time, I am xraying what was equally known as the Nigeria Airways. The story of Nigeria Airways is a tale of ambition, progress and unfortunately, ultimate decline. Nigeria Airways didn’t simply emerge; it soared from the remnants of colonial influence, embodying a newly independent nation’s dreams. Nigeria Airways even had the distinction of operating the last DC-10 ever built, a testament to its prominence in the aviation world. Despite its promising beginnings, Nigeria Airways became entangled in a web of mismanagement, corruption and political interference.
