BBC Yemen war: Funding crisis forces UN to cut food assistance 22 Dec 2021
デイリー・ミニマム・レーションがざっと半分になる―と。
「The World Food Programme (WFP) has been forced to reduce food assistance to eight million people in need in Yemen because it is running out of funds.
From January, affected families will get barely half the daily minimum ration from the UN agency.」
計算上はまあなんとか生きては行けるはずだという数字なのでしょう。活動はしないこと、という。

BBC Haiti fuel tanker blast kills dozens in Cap-Haitien 14 Dec 2021
「More than 60 people have been killed after a fuel tanker exploded in northern Haiti, officials say.
Reports say the vehicle was involved in an accident in the city of Cap-Haitien, and the victims had been trying to gather leaking fuel when it ignited.」
「The incident comes as Haiti is experiencing a severe fuel shortage as powerful gangs have seized control of much of the fuel distribution around the country.」
アフリカでしばしばありますが、ハイチでは珍しいかなーと思ったところ、ああそういえばあの国はいま、港がギャングさんたちに封鎖されてしまって、燃料の供給が物凄く怪しい状態だったっけなあ…と思い起こす。

They estimate that as many as 17 million vertebrates - including reptiles, birds and primates - died.」
…まあ、推計でしかないにせよ。とにかくたくさん死んだんだ、というあたりか。
蛇が結構死んでしまったのは、鼠の類の増加速度を思うと難だなあ…などという問題もあり…あまり急速に燃やし尽くすのは、ほんとどうかと思う。

BBC Brexit: UK signs free trade deal with Australia 17 Dec 2021
「The UK has signed a free trade deal with Australia which it says will benefit consumers and businesses.
It is described as the first post-Brexit deal negotiated from scratch and not "rolled over" from trade terms that the UK enjoyed while in the EU.」
「The government said the deal was also a gateway into the fast-growing Indo-Pacific region and would boost the UK's bid to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership, one of the largest free trade areas in the world.」
「For Australia, the deal eliminates tariffs from 99% of its exports and makes it easier for Australians to live and work in the UK.」
ブレグジットに対応する一局面、ではある様子。そりゃそうだろう。そしてオーストラリアと協定―となると、TPPとの関係も視野に入れているようで―…感覚的には「えええええ？」という気はするが…。
