厚生労働省は、年下の配偶者を扶養している人の厚生年金の額を加算する「加給年金」を縮小する方針を示しました。これは、共働き世帯の増加や、夫が年上で妻が年下といった年齢差のある夫婦が受け取れる制度の公平性を欠くとの指摘を踏まえたものです。

加給年金は、現行制度で一定の要件を満たす配偶者がいる受給者に対して、その配偶者を扶養していることを条件に年金額を加算する制度です。しかし、近年の共働き世帯の増加や多様な家族形態の出現により、制度の見直しが必要とされています。

厚労省では、2028年度（2028年4月以降）から加給年金の縮小を段階的に実施する予定です。これにより、年齢差のある夫婦間や共働き世帯における年金受給の公平性を高めることが期待されています。

WA Health issues urgent warning measles outbreak alert after 47 cases detected

Measles Outbreak Spreads in Western Australia with 47 Cases Detected This Year

Western Australia (WA) health authorities have issued a fresh warning about a measles outbreak that has now reached 47 confirmed cases so far this year. On Wednesday, officials reported eight new cases linked to an outbreak in the Pilbara region.

Measles is a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease. Health experts warn that airborne droplets can still infect people entering a room up to 30 minutes after an infected person has left. Anyone who is not already immune and has visited an exposure location during specified dates and times should monitor themselves for symptoms over the next 7 to 18 days.

WA Health has identified several exposure sites across South Hedland, Karratha, Port Hedland, and Redbank. People who have received two doses of the measles vaccine or were born before 1966 are considered immune. However, unvaccinated individuals remain at risk of severe health complications, including death.

The disease poses particular dangers to children, pregnant women, and those who are immunocompromised. Early symptoms include fever, tiredness, runny nose, cough, sore red eyes, followed by a red blotchy rash appearing three to four days later. According to Dr. Armstrong, people with measles usually feel very unwell, with some requiring hospitalisation.

Complications from measles can be serious and include pneumonia and, less commonly, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Despite the recent cases, Dr Armstrong noted there is no ongoing risk of measles at the Pilbara locations currently.

Health authorities strongly recommend vaccination as the best protection against the disease.

Measles Cases Rising Across Australia and Globally

Measles cases are surging worldwide, with several Australian states also reporting infections. Last week, a health alert was issued for Sydney’s Northern Beaches after an infected person visited multiple locations in Dee Why and Manly.

In mid-September, Victoria Health announced a confirmed measles case in a traveller returning from Europe and Bali. Dr Caroline McElnay, Victoria Health’s Chief Health Officer, highlighted the ongoing risk of measles importation through international travellers.

Several outbreaks are currently active across South-East Asia — including Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Recently, Queensland and Western Australia have reported cases in travellers returning from Bali.

What You Should Do

– Ensure you are vaccinated against measles with the recommended two-dose vaccine.

– If you have visited any of the exposure sites during the specified times, monitor yourself for symptoms for at least 18 days.

– Seek medical advice promptly if you experience symptoms suggestive of measles.

Protecting yourself and your community through vaccination and vigilance remains critical during this outbreak. Stay informed through official health channels for updates and advice.

WATCH: President Trump Suggests that Brandon Johnson and JB Pritzker May Face Criminal Charges – DHS Sec Kristi Noem Reveals that Portland Police Were Cheering on Antifa’s Calls for Violence with Their “Fists in the Air”, Says Officials Should be Prosecuted

Posted on by

President Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called for the prosecution of Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Governor JB Pritzker for allegedly perpetuating attacks against law enforcement during a roundtable on ANTIFA at the White House on Wednesday.

As reported by The Gateway Pundit, federal officers from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were recently ambushed by a convoy of roughly ten vehicles in what officials described as a coordinated assault by domestic extremists against law enforcement. Despite the severity of the incident, Chicago police were explicitly ordered to stand down and ignore distress calls from the federal agents.

President Trump asserted that both Governor Pritzker and Mayor Johnson were aware of the orders to stand down. “The governor knew about it, the mayor knew about it,” Trump told reporters, suggesting criminal liability for their actions. On Truth Social, Trump wrote this morning, “Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect ICE Officers! Governor Pritzker also!”

When asked whether he had requested the Justice Department to investigate possible charges against the mayor and governor, Trump did not provide a direct answer. However, he described the decision to have police stand down as illegal, and deferred to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for further comment.

Secretary Noem emphatically agreed, stating that elected officials in Illinois “should absolutely be prosecuted.” She also revealed concerning behavior by law enforcement in Portland, Oregon, where ICE officers reportedly witnessed Portland police officers cheering with fists raised alongside ANTIFA protesters who were calling for the murder of ICE agents.

“Noem said, ‘Those kind of individuals who are perpetuating murder should absolutely be prosecuted, in my opinion.’” She recounted that during the Chicago incident, a ten-car caravan trailed ICE officials and pinned them down. When the ICE officers attempted to exit their vehicles, a woman reportedly tried to ram them, resulting in shots being fired to ensure their safety.

Noem highlighted that this pattern of law enforcement complicity with extremist groups is not isolated to Illinois but is also occurring in other states such as Oregon.

In summary, both Trump and Noem condemned the alleged inaction and complicity of local law enforcement and elected officials in enabling attacks against federal agents. They called for accountability and prosecution of those responsible for undermining the safety and security of ICE personnel.

### Key Quotes from the Roundtable:

**Reporter:** “You said the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Illinois should be jailed. Have you asked the Justice Department to look at possible charges?”

**Trump:** “I’ve seen the law, and when you have a group of people where the police call off the safety for ICE officials, I’ve understood that, and I’ve read it today in numerous journals, that that’s illegal. What they did is… I guess it was ICE, Kristi, right? They were under threat, and the police were helping beautifully, it was fine, and then all of a sudden, a woman was on the line, saying, ‘Everybody move back, move back, get out, get out.’ And they were given an order by the second person in the police department, and the governor knew about it, the mayor knew about it. I understand that’s a criminal offense. You want to comment on that, Kristi?”

**Noem:** “Sir, we’re seeing that kind of pattern happen with local law enforcement and state law enforcement, not just in Illinois, but also out in Oregon too. In fact, in Portland, I was there yesterday, but some of the ICE officers were telling me that as they drove by the rioters that were saying, ‘Kill ICE agents, Molotov cocktails melt ICE,’ that the Portland Police were cheering them on and had their fists in the air cheering on the rioters that were threatening their lives.

“So, in Chicago, we had a ten-car caravan trail our ICE officials and pin them down. And those ICE officials to get out of their vehicles, a woman tried to ram them and run them over, and shots were fired to get them to safety. So, it’s happening on a regular basis, and any elected official that allows this to happen and gives cover to those kind of individuals who are perpetuating murder should absolutely be prosecuted, in my opinion.”

**Mumbai: BMC to Form Dedicated Landscaping Committee for Coastal Road Beautification Project**

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is set to appoint a dedicated **Landscaping Committee** tasked with evaluating and approving the design report submitted by Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) for beautifying 53 hectares of reclaimed land along the Mumbai Coastal Road.

### Role of the Landscaping Committee

Beyond design approvals, the committee will function as a single-window facilitator to ensure all necessary permissions for greening and landscaping works are obtained seamlessly and at no cost.

### Coastal Road Accessibility Updates

The entire stretch of the Coastal Road, from the Princess Street flyover at Marine Drive to the Worli end of the Bandra-Worli Sea Link (BWSL), has been open to traffic 24/7 since August 15. This includes 5.25 kilometers of the planned 7.5-km-long promenade and pedestrian underpasses (PUPs).

Simultaneously, Tata Sons Limited is undertaking the beautification of a 5-hectare central median along this arterial road.

### Reliance Industries’ Involvement

Reliance Industries was among five companies that responded to the BMC’s Expression of Interest (EOI) to develop 53 hectares of open spaces along the Coastal Road under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.

RIL will also be responsible for the maintenance of the gardens, promenade, and pedestrian underpasses (PuPs) for the next 30 years. The proposal recently received final approval from Municipal Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani.

### Project Approval and Scope

A senior civic official stated, “With administrative approval in place, a Landscaping Committee will soon be formed to approve the design and serve as a single-window facilitator for obtaining all necessary permissions for the landscaping works.”

The Rs 400-crore project includes:

– Development and maintenance of gardens and parks
– Creation of cycle and pedestrian paths
– Landscaping and infrastructure upkeep including sewage treatment plants (STPs), lighting, CCTV, and security
– Maintenance of public utilities and signage
– Implementation of sustainable practices focusing on water conservation and environmental protection

### Impact of the Coastal Road

The Coastal Road is a 10.58-km, 8-lane expressway connecting Worli to Marine Drive, developed at a total cost of Rs 13,984 crore. This new route has significantly benefited motorists, reducing travel time between Bandra and Marine Drive to just 10-12 minutes.

According to the BMC, the road has reduced travel time by 70% and fuel consumption by 34%.

NASCAR and teams to meet in court to try to resolve yearlong feud over charter system

Un proyecto de ley que ya cuenta con dictamen de dos comisiones y podría llegar al recinto de Diputados en breve tiene en vilo al sector TIC argentino, ya que implicaría el regreso recargado de un tributo que había sido eliminado.

Se trata del impuesto Enard a las telecomunicaciones, un gravamen del 1% que se aplicó a la telefonía celular hasta 2017 y que se destinaba al Ente Nacional de Alto Rendimiento Deportivo. La versión actual también implicaría financiar al nuevo Consejo Federal para el Alto Rendimiento Deportivo (Cofard) con un 1% de la facturación de las compañías, pero no solo de telefonía móvil, sino también de internet y TV paga que tengan más de 10.000 clientes, lo que encarecería el servicio para los consumidores.

Este impuesto ya existió en su momento, pero solo para las compañías de telefonía móvil. Ahora se extiende a todo el resto de los servicios TIC.

“Estamos dando un paso hacia atrás”, afirmó Federico Fornelli, presidente de la Asociación Argentina de Televisión por Cable (ATVC).

La autoría del proyecto, que modifica la ley 26.573, corresponde a Rogelio Iparraguirre y Victoria Tolosa Paz, del bloque Unión por la Patria, y ya cuenta con dictamen de las comisiones de Deportes y Comunicación de Diputados.

Según ATVC, si algunos legisladores cercanos al oficialismo, algunos de los cuales votaron a favor en comisión, acompañan la iniciativa, esta podría avanzar. Según la redacción del texto, el 1% se agregaría al precio del servicio, pero el cliente no lo distinguiría en la factura.

“Estamos hablando de un nuevo impuesto que explícitamente mete mano en el bolsillo de toda la población y castiga a todos los usuarios por igual”, agregó.

Según datos del Ente Nacional de Comunicaciones (Enacom), el 82% de los hogares del país tiene acceso a internet, la penetración de líneas móviles asciende al 135% y el 57% de los hogares cuenta con TV por suscripción. Más allá de esto, debido al deterioro histórico del poder de compra, especialmente entre los usuarios de menores ingresos, Argentina presenta aún un déficit en el uso de estos servicios.

En 2023 se avanzó en mejorar las condiciones de acceso a dispositivos, gracias al plan de reducción gradual de impuestos. “Gravar los servicios TIC va en contra de esta tendencia”, continuó el ejecutivo.

Según un relevamiento de la Cámara Argentina de Internet (Cabase), el sector está sujeto a más de 20 tributos y tasas nacionales, provinciales y municipales, con una presión tributaria promedio del 41,5%.

La industria TIC, además, aporta el 1% de los ingresos totales devengados para constituir el Fondo de Servicio Universal, destinado a financiar proyectos de conectividad y acelerar la digitalización. Solo en 2024, el aporte total del sector por este concepto fue de $58.800 millones.

“¿Queremos una industria habilitadora, que fomente el empleo y la educación? En vez de ayudar, nos ponen otra barrera. Y además, no tiene mucho que ver con su función. ¿Qué tienen que ver las telecomunicaciones con el deporte? ¿Por qué no le ponen un impuesto al tabaco? A cualquier industria que se lo pusieran, igual estaría mal. El presupuesto del Enard debería establecerse con base en los ingresos, y luego, en función de eso, ver los gastos. No se puede castigar a una industria con el potencial de la nuestra para financiar el deporte”, cerró Fornelli.

Toronto hospital performs first Canadian heart transplant after circulatory death

Posted on by

**Historic First in Canada: Successful Heart Transplant Using Donation After Circulatory Death**

In a groundbreaking medical achievement, surgeons at Toronto’s University Health Network (UHN) have successfully completed a heart transplant using a donor whose heart had stopped beating. This innovative technique, known as donation after circulatory death (DCD), marks a significant milestone for Canada’s organ transplant landscape.

Unlike traditional heart transplants that rely on organs from brain-dead donors whose hearts continue to beat, the DCD approach recovers hearts after life support is withdrawn and the heart has stopped beating. This expands the donor pool and offers new hope for patients on transplant waiting lists.

In early September, a team at UHN’s Toronto General Hospital performed the novel transplant. Dr. Ali Rabi, the cardiac surgeon at UHN’s Peter Munk Cardiac Centre who led the surgery, explained the significance of the procedure:
“Before, we only used hearts from brain-dead donors whose hearts were still beating. Now, we can use hearts that have stopped beating after life support is withdrawn. These are donors who are not considered brain dead. They have a few basic reflexes but no prospect of recovery. That decision is made by the patient, their family, their treatment team, and a neurology team. The family then decides they do not want their loved one to continue like this.”

Heart failure remains one of the most common causes of hospital admission and death in Canada. According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, by the end of 2024, there were 155 adults and 29 children waiting for a heart transplant. Dr. Rabi highlighted the impact of this new technique:
“Because of this surgery, we increase the number of heart transplants by 20 to 40 per cent. This will also reduce the number of people who never receive a heart transplant and die waiting for one.”

This technique is not entirely new globally—it has been successfully used in countries including Australia, the U.K., and the United States. In Canada, it is expected to increase heart transplants by approximately 30 percent. A representative shared the emotional impact of seeing the new heart beating:
“When the heart started beating again in the new patient, it’s amazing. The heart’s natural strength is incredible. This breakthrough shows how innovation can save more lives. Congratulations to UHN for this historic milestone.”

Dr. Rabi also acknowledged the profound generosity of donor families:
“It’s the hardest day of their lives, but many find comfort knowing their loved one helped save others.”

Recent data from Australia and the U.S. indicate no difference in long-term survival between recipients of DCD hearts and those receiving organs from traditional brain-dead donors. Dr. Rabi is optimistic about the future of heart transplantation:
“I encourage young people who are interested in heart failure and heart transplant to look at the field, and I guarantee you in the next five years, the field will be completely unrecognizable.”

This landmark surgery not only expands opportunities for patients in need but also represents a hopeful leap forward in cardiac care and transplant innovation in Canada.

**Mumbai Customs Officers Arrest Two Individuals for Smuggling Hydroponic Weed Valued at Rs 24 Crore**

Mumbai Airport Customs officers have apprehended two persons, including a woman, in separate cases involving the smuggling of hydroponic weed collectively valued at Rs 24 crore.

### Passenger from Bangkok Intercepted

According to Customs sources, on Monday, the Air Intelligence Unit (AIU) officers intercepted Aswant Kumar (30), a resident of Jalandhar, on suspicion of carrying contraband. Kumar had just arrived at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (CSMI) Airport, Mumbai, from Bangkok.

Upon examining his check-in baggage, officers discovered 12 packets containing greenish, dry flowering and fruiting substances in lump form. These tested positive for hydroponic weed (marijuana), classified under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. The substance weighed 17.86 kg, with an illicit market value of Rs 17.86 crore.

In his statement to Customs officials, Kumar admitted awareness of the stringent punishments related to smuggling hydroponic weed and other illegal drugs into India. Subsequently, he was arrested on Tuesday.

### Passenger from Phuket Intercepted

In a separate case, Customs officers intercepted Tasnumnnisa Shaikh, a resident of Ambernath, Thane, after her arrival from Phuket on Monday. Upon inspecting her trolley bag, officers found 45 packets containing a green, dry leafy substance in lump form. This also tested positive for hydroponic weed, weighing 6.37 kg.

Shaikh admitted to the non-declaration and concealment of the narcotics substance during her statement to Customs authorities, following which she was taken into custody.

### Investigation Ongoing

Preliminary investigations in both cases have revealed the involvement of other individuals who are yet to be identified and apprehended. Efforts are underway to trace and arrest key associates involved in the hydroponic weed smuggling network.

Officials confirmed that the investigations are still at an early stage.

### Legal Proceedings

Advocates Arun Gupta, Birender Yadav, and Priti Singh appeared for the arrested accused persons in court. Following the hearings, the accused were remanded to judicial custody.
