JAPAN INTRODUCES SPECIAL HEATSTROKE ALERT熱中症特別警戒アラート 運用開始

2024年05月22日 | 爺英語

Japan's warning system to prevent heat-related illness has begun operations for this year, as the country gears up for what could be another intensely hot summer. It includes a new special alert against heatstroke.
The alert will be issued in prefectures where the so-called Wet Bulb Globe index is estimated at 35 or higher at all observation points. Japan has never before recorded that kind of dangerous heat and humidity, which could cause serious damage to people's health across a wide area.
Prefectures where the Special Heat Stroke Alert is issued will need to take action, including opening pre-designated “cooling shelters.” Schools, businesses, and event organizers will also be required to take steps to protect people from heatstroke. That includes canceling events and keeping people home if there's no way to keep them cool.

UK LAWMAKERS PASS CONTENTIOUS RWANDA ASYLUM BILL不法入国者をルワンダ移送 英で法案可決

2024年05月15日 | 爺英語

British lawmakers have approved a contentious bill to send undocumented migrants to Rwanda. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says the plan will deter people from illegally crossing the English Channel. But United Nations officials are urging a rethink.
The legislation passed the House of Lords after clearing Parliament's lower chamber. It's one of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's flagship policies ahead of a general election due by late January next year.
Undocumented migrants are pouring into Britain, this year reportedly at the fastest pace ever. And Britain's leaders say the problem is weighing heavily on the state coffers. So they've brokered a deal with Rwanda.
The East African nation is still emerging from a devastating period of genocide in the 1990s. But the British government says Rwanda belongs to international treaties aimed at protecting the rights of refugees.
