July Global Crisis
Kicking off the month of July was the sudden death of Shinzo Abe. Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was killed Friday during a speech given on a street in western Japan. Abe, 67, fell and had been evacuated to a neighboring hospital in Nara, despite the fact that he was struggling to breathe and his heart just stopped. Dr. Hidetada Fukushima verified his accidental death of injuries.
NHK broadcasted dramatic footage of Abe standing and delivering a speech at a railway station before Sunday's parliamentary election. Two bullets went out as he lifted his hand to make a point, and he dropped grasping his chest, his clothing splattered with bleeding as uniformed officers hurried toward him.
Abe was born on September 21, 1954, and served in the House Of Representatives. He got re-elected seven times. Following his dad's passing in 1991, he was appointed to Yamaguchi Prefecture's first district in 1993. Abe voiced broad support for the measures and took efforts in stabilizing the Japanese budget. He typically adopted a tough attitude toward North Korea, particularly in reference to North Korean violent incidents against Japanese people.
In the United States, tons of women are now asking, once again, for freedom in terms of their bodies and choice. The Supreme Court of the country seems ready to overturn the historic Roe v. Wade ruling, which has secured access to abortion in the United States for generations, Republican-led states have introduced a slew of restrictive abortion laws.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation outlawing numerous treatments beyond 15 weeks of pregnancy. The law makes rules only where an abortion is required to preserve the life of a woman or avoid significant damage, or when the fetus has a catastrophic defect.
Abortion is a matter of human rights that is protected by several universal human rights agreements and international conventions across the planet. For the last several decades, enormous progress has been achieved in ensuring female access to abortion, with almost 50 nations opening up their abortion laws. The legal status of abortion reflects more than simply where women and girls are actually permitted whether or not to carry a developing fetus.
In Iran, Mostafa Tajzadeh has been detained in Iran and charged with attempting to undermine the country's sovereignty. In a separate event, two Iranian filmmakers were jailed. Films by Mohammad Rasoulof have won prizes at the Cannes and Berlin film screenings. He and Mostafa Alahmad are now being jailed on incitement charges.
With the popular hashtag "put_your_gun_down", about 70 Iranian moviemakers and cinema employees have joined the movement. Tajzadeh is an activist who has publicly chastised the state's leading ruler and other high-ranking authorities. Strikes have erupted in Iran in recent months in response to price increases and the country's reduction of subsidies.
The total global wheat output in 2020 was 760 million tons. Scientists predict that by tapping into the crop's "untapped genetic potential," worldwide wheat production might be quadrupled. According to the worldwide team behind the new research, it would be able to develop new types of wheat using current techniques based on wheat DNA.
According to a carefully studied US official prediction, global wheat production would likely slip for the first time in four years. Since Russia's attack on Ukraine interrupted agriculture in the nation, grain dealers, food firms, and governments have been keeping a tight check on supply. Humans have grown wheat for millennia and the consequence on our society has been significant - agriculture is generally considered the first largely influenced in modern existence, as it led to settlements and established social systems.
July has just started and we all have experienced different things, ranging from positive to negative.
