Amna Khalifa Al Qemzi, the UAE’s pioneering female farmer, embarked on her journey many years ago by sending nine baskets filled with a variety of vegetables and fruits grown in her own garden to the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the first president and founding father of the UAE.

Recognized as a trailblazer in organic agriculture, Al Qemzi was recently honored with the Abu Dhabi Award by President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed for her efforts in promoting environmental sustainability and knowledge sharing within the community.

Throughout her farming endeavors, the Abu Dhabi Awards recipient has cultivated an extensive array of crops, ranging from tomatoes and grapes to figs, watermelons, red chili peppers, and more. By planting seeds sourced from various countries in the UAE, she successfully nurtured plants not only during winter but also throughout the summer months.

Amna Al Qemzi's story served as a model and a source of inspiration for many young farmers and the youth of the UAE. Regarded as a symbol of history, authenticity, generosity, and giving, she was seen as a role model for future generations.

Rishi Sunak's flagship smoking ban bill passes first hurdle despite cabinet opposition

news.sky.com/story/rishi-sunaks-flagship-smoking-ban-bill-passes-first-hurdle-despite-cabinet-opposition-13116593

Quick Glance: UK Lawmakers Support Groundbreaking 'Smoke-Free Generation' Bill

The British government's plan for a landmark smoking ban to prevent young people from ever smoking passed its first hurdle in Parliament despite opposition from within Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's Conservative Party.

The bill, announced by Sunak, would make it illegal to sell tobacco products to anyone born after January 1, 2009, creating one of the toughest anti-smoking measures in the world to establish the 'first smoke-free generation' in modern Britain.

The bill also includes measures to crack down on youth vaping, such as banning the sale of cheap disposable vapes and restricting their flavors to prevent children from becoming addicted to nicotine.

The number of people who smoke in the U.K. has declined by two-thirds since the 1970s, but approximately 6.4 million people in the country still smoke, accounting for about 13% of the population. Smoking remains the number one preventable cause of death, disability, and poor health.

Quick Glance: Italian PM Giorgia Meloni vows to crack down surrogacy, calls it ‘inhuman’ practice

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has expressed her opposition to surrogacy, deeming it an 'inhuman' practice that should incur harsher penalties.

Her views on surrogacy align with those of the Catholic Church, which argues that the practice violates the integrity of the child and the woman.

The move against surrogacy is perceived as a blow to the rights of LGBTQ+ communities in Italy, where same-sex marriages are not allowed under the influence of the Catholic Church.

PM Meloni has pledged to address the country's declining birth rates by implementing women-friendly policies such as improving child care and other support for working women.

Former minister Cho Kuk aids in leftwing alliance's electoral victory

Former justice minister Cho Kuk, convicted on corruption charges, played a pivotal role in the defeat of conservative President Yoon Suk Yeol in parliamentary elections.

Cho calls for Yoon and PPP leader Han Dong-hoon, both former prosecutors, to be held accountable for abuse of power.

The leftwing alliance narrowly missed the 200-seat mark that would have allowed them to bypass a presidential veto. Yoon now faces over three years as a lame duck, while the country heads towards more than three years of stagnation.

NAIA approves transgender policy limiting women's sports to athletes whose biological sex is female

apnews.com/article/naia-transgender-ban-ad422f3a86ebcc4db618750c6a5d1c5f

Quick Glance: Decision on Participation of Transgender Athletes in U.S. Collegiate Sports

The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics has decided to exclude transgender women from competing in women's sports, taking a stricter stance than other athletic bodies.

As per the NAIA policy, only student-athletes whose biological sex is female may participate in women's sports.

Transgender athletes are required to have undergone testosterone suppression treatment for at least one year and to meet specific test results at different times of the year according to the NCAA policy.

Following transgender swimmer Lia Thomas's victory in the NCAA 500-yard freestyle championship after transitioning, a group of female athletes sued the NCAA, alleging that the participation policy for transgender athletes violated their civil rights under Title IX.

5 big takeaways from Day 3 of Trump's hush money trial: Twelve jurors have now been seated, and arguments could begin as soon as Monday.

abcnews.go.com/US/US/5-big-takeaways-day-3-trumps-hush-money/story

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: Germany: Lower House Passes Gender Self-Determination Law

German lawmakers approved a law making it easier for transgender, intersex, and nonbinary individuals to change their name and gender in official records.

The self-determination law will be effective on November 1, allowing adults to change their name and legal gender without additional formalities.

The new regulations will permit minors aged 14 and above to change their name and gender with parental consent, while parents would apply on behalf of children under 14 at registry offices.

The reforms also include legalizing limited cannabis possession, easing rules for German citizenship, and ending restrictions on dual citizenship.

Quick Glance: Simon Harris Becomes Ireland's Youngest Prime Minister

Simon Harris has been officially sworn in as Ireland's youngest prime minister, succeeding Leo Varadkar who abruptly stepped down last month. Harris, 37, took the helm of the ruling Fine Gael party but faces challenges as the party trails behind Sinn Fein in polls.

A rapid riser in Ireland's political hierarchy, Harris has made a name for himself as Health Minister and most recently as Minister for Higher Education and Science. His political identity as a young politician has been marked by both supporters and critics, particularly standing out with younger voters and on social media platforms like TikTok.

Varadkar's government grappled with challenges such as housing crisis and increasing immigration numbers. Harris inherits a tough political landscape, especially with upcoming elections until March 2025. The political landscape in Ireland has shifted, with Sinn Fein emerging as a rising political force, leading to a shift in the traditional party landscape.

While Harris sees the idea of a potential reunification of Ireland as a legitimate aspiration, his focus remains on current challenges like housing crisis, rising cost of living, and immigration. Despite political changes and discussions about potential reunification, Ireland's future remains uncertain and complex.

Quick Glance: Liz Truss: From Premiership to Resignation in 49 Days

Liz Truss became Prime Minister and resigned after just 49 days, despite her husband's prediction that 'it would all end in tears'.

Truss assumed office on September 6, 2022, succeeding Boris Johnson, but faced early challenges and personal struggles.

Despite implementing economic measures and facing political turbulence, Truss resigned after a mini-budget led to a pensions crisis.

She reflects on her failed tenure, attributing blame to structural issues and drawing parallels to the controversial football manager Brian Clough.
