Sanitation Minister blames Akosombo Dam flood victims for not heeding warnings to evacuate

Ghana News
The Sanitation and Water Resources Minister, Freda Prempeh has blamed victims of the floods induced by the spillage of the Akosombo Dam for not heeding early warnings by the Volta River Authority and other state agencies to evacuate. The Minister said the victims refused to relocate until the unfortunate incident happened, making them a burden to the government. According to her, the government now has to spend limited resources to ensure relief items are provided for them. “We don’t want what has happened in Akosombo to happen to us in Accra.

Collapse Cocobod; allow farmers to sell directly to buyers – President of Cocoa farmers Assoc.

Ghana News
The President of the Concerned Cocoa Farmers Association, Nana Boateng Bonsu, has called for the dissolution of the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD). According to him, the time is ripe for cocoa farmers to sell their produce directly to buyers since Cocobod has failed in its duties in the interest of Ghanaian cocoa farmers. Mr Bonsu in an interview on JoyNews’ PM Express on Monday indicated that the government-controlled institution that fixes the buying price for cocoa in the country is inefficient, thus, farmers should be set free. “If they know Cocobod has collapsed, we should know so that cocoa farmers can sell their products directly to the buyer to make our money rather than relying on the government because the government has nothing better to offer the farmers,” he sa...

World shift to clean energy is unstoppable, IEA report says

Education, International, Science & Technology
The world is on an "unstoppable" shift towards renewable energy but the phase down of fossil fuels is not happening quickly enough, a new report says. The International Energy Agency, the global energy watchdog, predicted renewables would provide half of the world's electricity by 2030. But it warned that emissions were still too high to prevent temperatures rising above a key threshold of 1.5C. And the report said investment in fossil fuels needed to be cut in half. What is net zero and how are the UK and other countries doing?Record surge in days over key 1.5C warming limit The Paris-based energy agency's report, released on Tuesday, was not all doom and gloom.

Elon Musk says X to have two new premium tiers

Elon Musk says X to have two new premium tiers

International, Science & Technology
Elon Musk has said his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, will launch two new tiers of premium subscriptions. "One is lower cost with all features, but no reduction in ads, and the other is more expensive, but has no ads," the billionaire said in a post on X. It comes as the firm started charging new users $1 in New Zealand and the Philippines for accessing the platform. Mr Musk did not provide more details on the plans.

Mr Musk has long said that his solution for getting rid of bots and fake accounts on the social media platform is charging for the service. Sinc...

Microsoft’s new AI assistant can go to meetings for you

International, Science & Technology
A ChatGPT-style AI assistant, developed by Microsoft and embedded into its office apps, will become available to all from 1 November, following trials. Microsoft 365 Copilot can summarise meetings held in Teams for anyone who chooses not to attend. It can also draft emails, create word documents, spreadsheet graphs, and Powerpoint presentations in moments. Microsoft says it hopes the tool will eliminate "drudgery" but some worry tech like this will replace workers. There are also concerns it could leave businesses dangerously reliant on AI-powered assistance. What is AI and is it dangerous?

International, Science & Technology
Finnish telecoms giant Nokia is to axe between 9,000 and 14,000 jobs by the end of 2026 to cut costs. The announcement was made as the company reported a 20% drop in sales between July and September.
