Sahara: For Dominica, Morocco's Autonomy Plan ‘The Compromise Solution'
Doha – The Commonwealth of Dominica forcefully reasserted its 'full support' for Morocco's Autonomy Plan at the UN Committee of 24 (C24) regional seminar recently held in Dili, Timor-Leste, declaring it 'the solution of compromise' to the Western Sahara regional dispute. Dominica's Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Philbert Aaron, proclaimed that the autonomy initiative aligns perfectly with international law, the UN Charter, and the resolutions of both the Security Council and General Assembly. 'The development of the Sahara has been manifested by the improvement of infrastructure and healthcare, education and housing,' Ambassador Aaron declared, commending Morocco's extensive development efforts that have transformed living conditions and created substantial opportunities for local populations. The diplomat renewed his country's call for continued engagement by Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and the separatist Polisario group in the roundtable process, conforming to Security Council resolution 2703. He also spotlighted the UN Secretary-General's crucial role in advancing settlement efforts and recognized Staffan de Mistura's contribution in revitalizing the political process as the UN Secretary-General's Personal Envoy for the Sahara. During the same C24 seminar, Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire amplified their support for Morocco's autonomy initiative. Senegal's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Diamane Diome, revealed that 117 countries—over 60% of UN member states, including two permanent Security Council members—back this initiative.

Côte d'Ivoire's representative unequivocally reaffirmed his country's 'full support' for Morocco's proposal, underscoring how it empowers Sahara inhabitants to actively participate in the region's political and socio-economic management through democratic elections. Both African countries applauded Morocco's steadfast adherence to the ceasefire and military agreements while urging other parties to avoid actions undermining the political process. This is not the first time Dominica endorses Morocco's position. Earlier in April 2024, Dominica's Foreign Affairs Minister Vince Henderson restated his country's support for the Moroccan Autonomy Plan as the 'only credible, serious, and realistic solution' to the dispute over Western Sahara during talks with his Moroccan counterpart Nasser Bourita in Rabat. In June 2024, Ambassador Aaron told the UN Committee of C24 that 'Dominica fully supports the autonomy plan presented by the Kingdom of Morocco to end the Sahara conflict and views it as the foundation for a realistic and pragmatic solution towards stability and peace in the region.' The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), of which Dominica has been a member since 1981, opened a consulate in Dakhla, Western Sahara on March 31, 2022, joining African and Arab countries that have established diplomatic missions there in a sign of support for Morocco's sovereignty over its southern provinces.

Emmerdale fans figure out why John and Aaron's wedding registrar looked so familiar
Emmerdale fans were on the edge of their seats on Wednesday night as Aaron Dingle and John Sugden came within seconds of tying the knot. But they recognised the registrar from somewhere. If you thought John Sugden and Aaron Dingle's wedding registrar looked familiar on Wednesday's (May 28) episode of Emmerdale, you're not alone. John (Oliver Farnworth) and Aaron's (Danny Miller) wedding has been taking place in this week's episodes, but in true soap fashion, there have been countless dramas along the way. Secret villain John has been haunted by nightmares of being caught for Nate Robinson's (Jurell Carter) murder as the lake gets emptied due to the slurry leak at Butler's Farm. That's not all, as Aidan Moore's (Geoff Dignan) mother, and Cathleen (Julia Watson), urged John to go and visit his ex-fiancé in the hospital after he awoke from a coma, reports Leicester Live. Aaron followed John to the hospital and momentarily called off the wedding when he realised that his fiancé was visiting his ex on their wedding day. Meanwhile, in The Woolpack, the Dingles tried to contact the grooms as the wedding registrar became increasingly agitated. Despite the hurdles, John and Aaron eventually made it down the aisle on Wednesday night, but the mood soon shifted when an unexpected visitor crashed the wedding. During the ceremony, the registrar said: "If any person here present knows of any lawful impediment to this marriage, they should declare it now." Just as the couple were about to say their vows, Aaron's ex-husband, Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley), rushed through the door, saying: "Hello Aaron, missed me?" before the credits began rolling. Soap viewers will recall Robert being handed a 14-year prison sentence back in 2019 after he pleaded guilty to the attack on Lee Posner (Kris Mochrie). The registrar, who hasn't been named, is played by actress Janine Mellor, with several Emmerdale viewers only just realising that she previously starred on a rival soap. Over the years, Janine has appeared on Fat Friends, Holby City, Coronation Street, Doctor Who and Doctors. However, she is best known for her role in Casualty as nurse Kelsey Phillips, appearing in 169 episodes. Kelsey worked in the emergency department from 2005 to 2009. The character left the hospital in season 23 as she chose to start a new life. After watching Janine appear on Emmerdale in recent scenes, many soap fans have taken to social media to share her connection to Casualty. "Where do I know the registrar from, I have a feeling I've seen her before," one person asked on a Facebook fan page. "Think she was a nurse in Casualty years back," another confirmed, with a third saying: "Oh my gosh she was in classic Casualty!" A fourth viewer echoed the sentiment, noting: "Ah it's Kelsey!" with another sharing: "Her name was Kelsey in Casualty, what a throwback." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The ALS Association Teams Up with MLB Pitcher Aaron Nola to #StrikeOutALS and Recognize 5th Annual Lou Gehrig Day
Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher Continues Support of Fight Against ALS in Honor of Late Uncle ARLINGTON, Va., May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The ALS Association is recognizing the 5th annual Lou Gehrig Day, taking place June 2nd at baseball parks across the country. Lou Gehrig Day honors the legacy of the legendary first baseman, who was diagnosed with ALS at the height of his playing career. He died on June 2, 1941, just two years after his diagnosis. Sadly, ALS is still 100% fatal and can strike anyone at any time. As part of the nationwide effort, the ALS Association will be partnering with baseball teams across the country to host events commemorating Lou Gehrig Day. These events may include pre-game ceremonies, special on-field presentations, guest speakers and fundraising initiatives. "Lou Gehrig Day is an important opportunity to remind baseball fans around the country about the urgent need for a cure for ALS," said Brian Frederick, chief marketing and communications officer for the ALS Association. "Lou was an incredible player who inspired millions but could not beat this fatal disease. With the public's help, we can turn ALS from fatal to livable and then cure it. We have an amazing community of people living with ALS and their loved ones and they need our support." For the second consecutive season, the ALS Association is teaming up with Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Aaron Nola to raise awareness of ALS and support research and care through the the Big League Impact campaign. Nola is donating $1,500 for every strikeout he records to the ALS Association, a $500 increase from last season's $1,000 per strikeout commitment. The cause remains deeply personal to him after losing his uncle, Alan Andries, to ALS in 2021. In recognition of his ongoing advocacy, Nola was recently named a 2025 Philanthropy Award Winner by the Major League Baseball Players Trust, which awarded a $10,000 grant in his honor to the ALS Association. Nola was recognized for his dedication to ALS research and his charitable efforts supporting veterans. "We are grateful to Aaron and everyone in baseball who supports the fight against ALS," said Larry Falivena, a person living with ALS who serves on the ALS Association Board of Trustees. "We may support different teams on the field, but off the field, we are all dedicated to making ALS livable and then curing it. We have made great strides in ALS research and care since Lou Gehrig was diagnosed and we have to keep the momentum going." The ALS Association encourages fans, players, and organizations to join the fight against ALS by finding a Lou Gehrig Day game in their community by visiting or by joining Aaron and his campaign to Strike Out ALS at Together, we can honor Lou Gehrig's legacy, cheer for our beloved teams and make ALS History. About ALS ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Eventually, people with ALS lose the ability to initiate and control muscle movement, which often leads to total paralysis and death within two to five years of diagnosis. For unknown reasons, veterans are more likely to develop ALS than the general population. About the ALS Association The ALS Association is the largest philanthropic funder of ALS research in the world. The Association funds global research collaborations, assists people with ALS and their families through its nationwide network of care and certified clinical care centers, and advocates for better public policies for people with ALS. The ALS Association is working to make ALS a livable disease while urgently searching for new treatments and a cure.
