| More than 80,000 Yemeni children may have died from hunger, aid group says Posted: 21 Nov 2018 08:54 AM PST  Western countries are pressing for a ceasefire and renewed peace efforts to end the disastrous conflict, which has unleashed the world's most urgent humanitarian crisis with 8.4 million people believed to be on the verge of starvation. Save the Children said that a conservative estimate based on U.N. data showed 84,700 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition may have died between April 2015 and October 2018, when a Western-backed Arab alliance has been battling the Iran-aligned Houthi movement that holds the capital Sanaa. "We are horrified that some 85,000 children in Yemen may have died because of the consequences of extreme hunger since the war began. For every child killed by bombs and bullets, dozens are dying from hunger and disease and it's entirely preventable," it said in a statement. The last available figure from the United Nations for the death toll from the conflict, seen as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran, was in 2016 and stood at more than 10,000.

| France advised to change heritage law to allow return of African art to former colonies Posted: 21 Nov 2018 06:54 AM PST  Franceshould change heritage law to facilitate the return of thousands of African artworks pillaged or bought during the colonial era, a government-appointed report is to advise President Emmanuel Macron. If approved, it would amount to a radical policy shift that could pile pressure on Britain and other ex-colonial powers to hand back long-held artifacts to their countries of origin. The report follows a groundswell of calls to return cultural treasures in Africa, amid estimations that up to 90 per cent of its cultural heritage is in foreign hands. France alone possesses around 90,000 African artworks, some 70,000 of which are at Paris' Quai Branly museum, founded by ex-president Jacques Chirac, a fan of African and Asian art. Currently, French law strictly forbids the government from parting with what amounts to state property, even in clear-cut cases of pillaging. But President Macron signalled he was prepared to consider change in a speech in Burkina Faso last year in which he said:"Africa's heritage cannot just be in European private collections and museums. "Within five years, I want the conditions to be met for the temporary or definitive restitution of African heritage to Africa." Mr Macron tasked French art historian Benedicte Savoy and Senegalese writer Felwine Sarr to draw up a report on the issue. It is estimated that up to 90 per cent of Africa's cultural treasures are held outside the continent Credit: GERARD JULIEN/AFP Due for release on Friday but leaked to French media on Wednesday, the report suggests amending French law to enable the restitution of cultural works if bilateral accords are struck between France and African states. The change would apply in particular to works held in museums which were "transferred from their original territory during the French colonial period," the report said. "We propose changing heritage laws so that all types of cases can be taken into account, and the criteria of consent can be invoked," Ms Sarr told French daily Libération. The experts said such collections were in effect depriving Africans of their artistic and cultural heritage. Advocates of such restitutions welcomed the report. Marie-Cecile Zinsou, a daughter of Benin's former prime minister and president of the Zinsou Art Foundation in Cotonou said that while it would spark "howls of disapproval" from some quarters in France, notably the far-Right, it could unleash a cultural "shockwave" throughout Europe and Africa. "Today it feels as if we're just a step away from recovering our history and being finally able to share it on the continent," she told AFP. The UK has resisted numerous and often impassioned calls to return artifacts to their countries of origin, including the Elgin Marbles to Greece and the Benin Bronzes to Nigeria. On Tuesday, the governor of Chile's Easter Island in the Pacific implored the British Museum to return the Hoa Hakananai'a, one of its most important statues and held for 150 years.

| Duchess of Sussex dishes out the love as she reunites with Grenfell Tower survivors Posted: 21 Nov 2018 07:54 AM PST  Elbow deep in carrots, peppers and beetroot, and stirring pots of soup, the Duchess of Sussex got to work on Wednesday bringing comfort and assistance to those who lost everything in the Grenfell Tower fire. The Duchess made a return visit to the kitchen in west London which inspired a charity cookbook, endorsed by the Duchess, in aid of the fire's victims. For nearly an hour, she helped volunteers at the Hubb Community Kitchen after saying that she wanted to see for herself what progress had been made since the book, Together, went on sale in September. It features more than 50 recipes from women whose community was devastated by the fire, which claimed the lives of 72 people. Healthy sales of the book, which the Duchess has previously described as a "labour of love", have paid for a complete makeover of the kitchen as well as funding longer opening hours. The Duchess has been making private visits to the kitchen since January Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images The Duchess, who is 17 weeks pregnant with her first child, also introduced her friend Clare Smyth, the Northern Irish chef, to the volunteers. Cradling her bump and sipping ginger tea as she listened to some of the women's plans for the future, the Duchess said: "I'm so proud of you. It's really exciting." She was keen to join in the work herself, taking off her burgundy Club Monaco coat, rolling up the sleeves of her dress and putting on an apron and a pair of gloves so she could get cooking. In total, more than 200 meals were prepared today for delivery to local groups, including elderly people's homes, homeless shelters and women's refuges, with mouth-watering dishes such as Egyptian lamb fattah, Persian chicken and barberry rice on the menu. Sales of the book have paid for a complete makeover of the kitchen Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images It emerged that the Duchess has been making private visits to the kitchen since January and is understood to have been left deeply moved by the dedication and hard work of those involved. Ahlam Saeid, 61, whose Iraqi family's recipe of rainbow roasted vegetables Meghan helped prepare, said: "I told her this [baby] is our grandchild, we are so happy. The whole community. And she is so happy." The Duchess was also given a traditional Ugandan cloth to wrap around her stomach after giving birth. Munira Mahmud, who presented her with the navy blue fabric, said: "Much of what we are doing is based on tradition. I thought what could be better to get her than the wrap. She was over the moon, she was really happy." More than 200 meals were prepared for delivery to local groups, including elderly people's homes, homeless shelters and women's refuges Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images Ms Mahmud, a mother-of-two, is one of the women motivated by the success of the kitchen project to start up a new scheme, providing new mothers with fresh and nutritious meals. She said: "I told her 'I can't wait to cook for you after you have the baby'." She added that Meghan told her she would be happy to enjoy her meals. Other projects, launched with the backing of the social entrepreneur foundation UnLtd, include a group for women who have suffered domestic violence. The Duchess embraces one woman outside The Hubb Community Kitchen in north Kensington Credit: Samir Hussein/WireImage The book Together: Our Community Cookbook has sold nearly 40,000 copies in the UK alone, raising £210,000. The kitchen was redesigned with the input of the volunteers "to capture its spirit as a place for the community to come together over a meal" and is now open seven days a week, up from just two when it began last year. The Grenfell disaster, which left 223 people homeless, was the worst UK residential fire since the Second World War. A public inquiry is currently under way to examine the causes of the blaze, what contributed to it spreading so quickly and whether more could have been done to prevent loss of life.
