The Empower Hour Episode 15 29th October 24

A survey shows that there is a need for better support services in schools for teenagers with diverse sexualities and gender identities. Australia's new vaping laws seem to be reducing the number of children vaping. A ban on a UN body in the Middle East could prevent humanitarian aid from reaching Palestinians. Victoria is proposing new laws to reduce traumatic cross-examination for victims of sexual assault. Health experts highlight the importance of recognizing secondary skin conditions related to psoriasis. Spain's Aitana Bonmati and Rodri have won the Ballon d'Or. The weather in the city is currently 27.8 degrees with a maximum of 31 degrees expected. Good morning, I'm Laura Dubois. Researchers say there's an urgent need for better support services in schools with more than one in ten teens identifying as gay, bisexual, pansexual or asexual. Remy Norton reports. A survey of more than 6,000 Year 8 students between 2019 and 2021 found 12% of them reported diverse sexualities, more than 3% identified as gender diverse. Teens who identified as transgender or non-binary were also twice as likely to have a disability or mental health diagnosis. Dr Jennifer Marino from the University of Sydney says the survey shows a need for child health policies at school that provide inclusion and support of diverse gender identities and sexualities. Medical authorities say Australia's new vaping laws seem to be having a positive effect on children. In July, new vaping laws restricted the sale of vapes to pharmacies and four weeks ago a requirement to have a prescription to purchase vapes was dropped in all jurisdictions except Western Australia and Tasmania. Dr Danielle McMullen is the president of the Australian Medical Association. She told the ABC early feedback indicates the new changes have led to a reduction in the number of children vaping. The news from school principals and parents is that they are seeing far fewer children vaping in schools and we are seeing that it's harder for kids and young people to get their hands on vapes which of course is our primary goal. There are fears a ban on a UN body in the Middle East could prevent humanitarian aid from reaching Palestinians in need. Israel's parliament has passed two controversial bills to ban the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees and declare it a terrorist organisation. They make it illegal for Israeli officials to deal with UNRWA which won't be able to legally operate in Israel and will be a declared terrorist organisation in the country. The bill has been heavily criticised with fears it could make it near impossible to get any humanitarian aid into Gaza and the West Bank. UNRWA says it's outrageous that a member state of the United Nations is working to dismantle a UN agency. Sexual assault, family violence and stalking victims would no longer have to endure traumatic cross-examination early in court cases or testify multiple times under a proposed legal shake-up in Victoria. The state government is set to introduce legislation today designed to reduce stress and trauma. Under the proposed changes victims would still have to give evidence but not at committal hearings. The Justice Legislation Amendment Bill would also allow children and people with cognitive impairments to give pre-recorded video evidence. Health experts are using World Psoriasis Day today to highlight the importance of recognising secondary skin conditions related to the inflammatory skin disease. A survey found nearly two-thirds of Australian adults have suffered a skin condition and nearly 30% said they'd never seen a dermatologist and don't plan on doing so. Dr. Annika Smith from the Skin Hospital says conditions like psoriasis can be more than they appear. So we now understand that the abnormal skin inflammation drives systemic inflammation and this can impact on other organs. So there's about a two times increased risk of myocardial infarction which is heart attack and stroke and this is particularly so in patients with severe disease. Turning to sports, Spain's Aitana Bonmati and Rodri have won the Men's and Women's Ballon d'Or. The award is given annually to those judged to be the best footballers in the world. Real Madrid was named the Men's Club of the Year while Barcelona won the Women's Award at a ceremony in Paris.

price again Not everything belongs, it's everything you really need It's time to dust aside and mow the beds and buy a tree Are you prepared to follow, and are you prepared to leave To persevere and you'll succeed Gotta dig up all my people who've been working all their futures Or they know they gotta struggle So all my homies working on the 9 to 5 And doing right to keep themselves up out of trouble Although sometimes I know it seems impossible There is a need to find an easier solver Continue for as long as they can do You'll be sure to be a god of tomorrow All those realities appear to
