New generation of Indigenous activists battle to save the Amazon


Campaigners in Brazil use drones to document work of self-defence teams trying to stop environmental destruction caused by illegal mining


Batista, who belongs to South America's Macuxi people, is part of a new generation of Indigenous journalists helping chronicle an age-old battle against outside aggression. For centuries, non-Indigenous writers and reporters have flocked to the rainforest region to tell their version of that ancestral fight for survival. Now, a growing cohort of Indigenous communicators are telling their own stories, providing first-hand dispatches from some of the Amazon's most inaccessible and under-reported corners.


"It's dangerous work and we suffer a lot when we're out in the field," said Batista, one of about 26,000 inhabitants of Raposa Serra do Sol, Brazil's second most populous Indigenous territory. "But it really gives me strength because I'm showing the reality of our lives to the world."


"It's my job to monitor the territory: to see who's coming in and who is leaving, to find areas being invaded, and to defend the territory because we cannot live without it," said Batista, who was trained by a local Indigenous association, the Conselho Indígena de Roraima, as part of an initiative called Rede Wakywai, which means "our news" in the local Wapichana language.

Q3678481 Inglês
O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão abaixo:

(1º§) POSTNATAL depression is rife among parents, affecting more than one in 10 women within a year after they've given birth. But many mums hesitate before speaking out about their battles with mental health in what supposed to be a blissful period for them.

(2º§) Ellie Polly Killah, a YouTuber and mum of two boys aged six and two, said she'd ummed and ahhed about sharing her own experience for two years. In a video uploaded to her channel, she gave a raw account of her postnatal depression and the severe anxiety and intrusive thoughts it triggered in its aftermath. "I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, I'm just gonna say it how it is because it's not a pretty thing to deal with, to go through so I'm not going to try and make it so," she told viewers. "This is my story from the beginning till now and how I learned to live with it - I say live with it not overcome it because I don't think you ever do," the mum went on. She hoped the video might help anyone at the precipice of this process.

(3º§) Ellie said she had no history of mental health struggles when she gave birth to her first son Leo in 2017 at the age of 27. She was the first of her friends to have a kid she recalled feeling lonely. And Ellie became aware of her 'attachment issues' with Leo immediately after he was born. "People love to tell you that when your baby is born you have this immediate rush of love when you look at them," she explained. But Ellie said that isn't the case for everyone and it wasn't the case for her with her first child. "Obviously I was amazed when I saw him, sort of overwhelmed, couldn't believe he was here, but I don't remember feeling that complete love and awe of him."

(4º§) Ellie struggled to feel bonded to Leo, but thought there was just 'something really wrong' with her. "I would cry every day but a lot of the time in secret," she remembered, and the new mum said she locked herself in her room to do so whenever someone came round to visit. "I think I did it secretly because I was embarrassed or ashamed, or I thought if people knew I was struggling that they would just think I was this awful mother, or he'd get taken away from me." "Your brain sends you an all of these imaginary scenarios."

(5º§) In retrospect, Ellie questioned how she thought this was normal. Her fiance Clint went back to work when Leo was two weeks old and he'd often have to travel, meaning that Ellie was on her own a lot. She remembered ringing Clint and saying __ her son: "I feel like I don't like him." She told viewers it was painful to recall feeling that way, but it made her begin to realise something wasn't quite right. "This was the first baby for both of us, so we didn't really recognise post-partum depression or know what we were really looking for.

(6º§) At eight weeks old, Ellie's bond for her baby 'came on quite suddenly'. "I remember it hitting me like a wave, looking at him one day and being like: there it is," Ellie said.


Intrusive thoughts and OCD

(7º§) But the guilt of not experiencing that early attachment lead to the mum being 'extremely anxious' about her son. She explained: "The intense love and responsibility that I had to this baby lead me to constantly, constantly [think] he was going to die." Ellie would have 'hideous, morbid, intrusive thoughts' multiple times a day, particularly triggered when she was driving or Leo was in the bath: "It was intense."

(8º§) She started to get panic attacks and physical side effects from the anxiety she was experiencing, like like a tight chest, stomach pains, nausea and headaches. "I know now that OCD basically goes hand in had with severe anxiety," Ellie went on. At her worst, Ellie was convinced her home would catch fire in the night and would obsessively plan out an escape route in her head before sleeping. She also became gripped by the fear that she would die __ the night and leave her baby on his own.    

(9º§) Ellie asked her mum or fiance text her every morning in case this happened.The new mum had her wake-up call when she confessed this fear to her friends one evening and saw the horror on their faces. She booked a therapist appointment the next day.


What helped?

(10º§) Ellie said therapy was hugely helpful to her recovery journey, as was medication. The mum saw female therapist who specialised in anxiety, who taught her techniques that Ellie said she used to this day. A method deal with with her intrusive thoughts was to take a deep breath when she was taken over by one, soak it in and then weigh up the evidence it is true vs. the evidence it isn't. "The one or two minutes it takes for you to sum up that evidence for and against, you've completely calmed down," Ellie said.

(11º§) Three years later Ellie said she's realised how common her experience with postnatal depression is. "I'll worry about my kids forever, I'll probably always get these horrible thoughts and ideas, but I know how to deal with them so I just get on with it. It doesn't control me at all." She went on: "If you are in a dark place and feel like you need help, just talk to someone." Then it's best you get professional help, as these kinds of feelings are "really hard to master on your own". The mum ended on a happier note. "And if you had a bad experience and you're nervous about your second, let me tell you it was a completely different experience __ me second time round.

Teaching music with a system that works


Schoolchildren in Britain are set to enjoy high quality teaching from classical music legends thanks ...................... an exciting project linked to Venezuela’s world-famous El Sistema orchestra. Four new community orchestras have been created ...................... the country in a scheme ......................  aims to improve children’s confidence through music. Government departments are providing funds...................... the multi-million pound project in Gateshead, Leeds, Nottingham, and Telford ...................... 2015.


El Sistema is the inspiration behind Britain’s In Harmony scheme. In Harmony uses classical music to change the lives of children, and benefit their communities, and families.


Already, musicians from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Manchester Camerata have agreed to take part. They will provide instrumental tuition, ensemble playing practice, and promote wider musical activities in communities. Organizers hope the initiative will give children role models to look up to, and help uncover the next generation of composers, artists, and performers.


For several years, there have been successful In Harmony projects in London and Liverpool. While the project is all about classical music, some of those who have taken part have shown an interest in other types of music, too. Many of those children whose musical talents really stood out have since begun to learn the piano, drums, or guitar, while others have gone into music production. Some have gone on to record and release their own music, and others now perform regular gigs. Organizers of the scheme want to repeat that success by bringing the project to towns and cities where there are areas of deprivation.


The project offers disadvantaged children the chance to master a classical instrument with rigorous tuition. Along the way, the children learn valuable teamwork skills, and enjoy a sense of community spirit. In the past, it has transformed attitudes towards classical music, and learning in general. Even children who say that they can’t stand learning instruments at the beginning, sometimes end up wanting to become professional musicians by the end. They often grow to realize that they love making music after playing with others in an orchestra.


In Harmony will run in selected primary schools whose students will meet several times a week from an early age to play instruments together. The aim is engage all the children in participating schools and communities so they can benefit from sharing the experience. Once the project settles down in the communities where it is launching, it is hoped the children will soon be rehearsing for big performances on the local, regional, or national stage.

1. Already, musicians from the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Manchester Camerata have agreed to take part. the words in bold are in the present perfect tense.
2. Many of those children whose musical talents really stood out have since begun to learn the piano, drums, or guitar, while others have gone into music production. The word in bold is a relative pronoun.

Saving What’s Precious

The World Monuments Fund is an organization _____________works to preserve important historical and architectural sites ____________ the world. Every two years, the WMF releases a list of sites ______________ particular danger of becoming ruins, and in 2014, it chose 67 sites in 41 countries. As this is a problem I feel strongly about, I decided to find______________ more about some of these places ___________ my blog.

My first discovery was the Fort of Graca, in Elvas, Portugal. Built in the 18th century, this superb military building played an important role in several wars. However, the building’s strategic importance declined over the years and signs of decay are now appearing. Today, the WMF supports the continued maintenance of the fort, and plans to reuse it as a tourism center.

My research then led me to the Sankore Mosque in Timbuktu, Mali, West Africa. Built in the 14th century, the mosque was integral to the city’s importance as a spiritual and intellectual center in the 15th and 16th centuries. Today, the mosque is vulnerable to fighting and rapid urbanization in the region. The WMF hopes to draw attention to this, and to protect this precious monument.

My online journey then took me to the Christ Church Cathedral in Zanzibar, Tanzania, East Africa. Completed in 1879, the Cathedral’s exquisite design makes its history difficult to take in: it lies on the site of what was, until 1873, a major slave market. The Cathedral is now both a place of worship and a memorial to the slaves who suffered there. Recently, large cracks appeared in the Cathedral’s walls. However, with the help of the WMF, they are now repaired.

A very special site on my list was the Damiya Dolmen Field in Jordan, home to 300 stone tombs which date back to 3600 BC. The Damiya Field is in danger of collapse due to mining in the area. However, thanks to pressure from the WMF, the Jordanian government is taking steps to protect it.

Lastly, I found out about the 19th century Alhambra Palace in Santiago, Chile. It replicates parts of the 13th century Alhambra palace in Spain, and, until a major earthquake hit the country in 2010, existed as a cultural institution supporting artists. The effects of the earthquake, together with old age and weather, made the building unsafe and it is currently closed. The WMF hopes that its involvement with the palace can help it to open to the public once again.

11 minutes of daily exercise could have a positive impact on your health, large study shows

By Kristen Rogers, CNN

Updated 1145 GMT (1945 HKT) March 1, 2023


(CNN)When you can't fit your entire workout into a busy day, do you think there's no point in doing anything at all? You should rethink that mindset. Just 11 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity aerobic activity per day could lower your risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease or premature death, a large new study has found.

Aerobic activities include walking, dancing, running, jogging, cycling and swimming. You can gauge the intensity level of an activity by your heart rate and how hard you're breathing as you move. Generally, being able to talk but not sing during an activity would make it moderate intensity. Vigorous intensity is marked by the inability to carry on a conversation.

Higher levels of physical activity have been associated with lower rates of premature death and chronic disease, according to past research. But how the risk levels for these outcomes are affected by the amount of exercise someone gets has been more difficult to determine. To explore this impact, scientists largely from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom looked at data from 196 studies, amounting to more than 30 million adult participants who were followed for 10 years on average. The results of this latest study were published Tuesday in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

The study mainly focused on participants who had done the minimum recommended amount of 150 minutes of exercise per week, or 22 minutes per day. Compared with inactive participants, adults who had done 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic physical activity per week had a 31% lower risk of dying from any cause, a 29% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and a 15% lower risk of dying from cancer.

The same amount of exercise was linked with a 27% lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease and 12% lower risk when it came to cancer.

"This is a compelling systematic review of existing research," said CNN Medical Analyst Dr. Leana Wen, an emergency physician and public health professor at George Washington University, who wasn't involved in the research. "We already knew that there was a strong correlation between increased physical activity and reduced risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer and premature death. This research confirms it, and furthermore states that a smaller amount than the 150 minutes of recommended exercise a week can help."

Even people who got just half the minimum recommended amount of physical activity benefited. Accumulating 75 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week - about 11 minutes of activity per day - was associated with a 23% lower risk of early death. Getting active for 75 minutes on a weekly basis was also enough to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease by 17% and cancer by 7%.

Beyond 150 minutes per week, any additional benefits were smaller.

"If you are someone who finds the idea of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week a bit daunting, then our findings should be good news," said study author Dr. Soren Brage, group leader of the Physical Activity Epidemiology group in the Medical Research Council Epidemiology Unit at the University of Cambridge, in a news release. "This is also a good starting position - if you find that 75 minutes a week is manageable, then you could try stepping it up gradually to the full recommended amount."

The authors' findings affirm the World Health Organization's position that doing some physical activity is better than doing none, even if you don't get the recommended amounts of exercise.

"One in 10 premature deaths could have been prevented if everyone achieved even half the recommended level of physical activity," the authors wrote in the study. Additionally, "10.9% and 5.2% of all incident cases of CVD (cardiovascular disease) and cancer would have been prevented."

Important note: If you experience pain while exercising, stop immediately. Check with your doctor before beginning any new exercise program.

A little exercise every day.

The authors didn't have details on the specific types of physical activity the participants did. But some experts do have thoughts on how physical activity could reduce risk for chronic diseases and premature death.

"There are many potential mechanisms including the improvement and maintenance of body composition, insulin resistance and physical function because of a wide variety of favorable influences of aerobic activity," said Haruki Momma, an associate professor of medicine and science in sports and exercise at Tohoku University in Japan. Momma wasn't involved in the research.

Benefits could also include improvement to immune function, lung and heart health, inflammation levels, hypertension, cholesterol, and amount of body fat, said Eleanor Watts, a postdoctoral fellow in the division of cancer epidemiology and genetics at the National Cancer Institute. Watts wasn't involved in the research.

"These translate into lower risk of getting chronic diseases," said Peter Katzmarzyk, associate executive director for population and public health sciences at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Katzmarzyk wasn't involved in the research.

The fact that participants who did only half the minimum recommended amount of exercise still experienced benefits doesn't mean people shouldn't aim for more exercise, but rather that "perfect shouldn't be the enemy of the good," Wen said. "Some is better than none."

To get up to 150 minutes of physical activity per week, find activities you enjoy, Wen said. "You are far more likely to engage in something you love doing than something you have to make yourself do."

And when it comes to how you fit in your exercise, you can think outside the box.

"Moderate activity doesn't have to involve what we normally think of (as) exercise, such as sports or running," said study coauthor Leandro Garcia, a lecturer in the school of medicine, dentistry and biomedical sciences at Queen's University Belfast, in a news release. "Sometimes, replacing some habits is all that is needed.

"For example, try to walk or cycle to your work or study place instead of using a car, or engage in active play with your kids or grand kids. Doing activities that you enjoy and that are easy to include in your weekly routine is an excellent way to become more active."

Will Vladimir Putin ever face a war crimes trial?

Published by Robert Plummer

BBC News


Although the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague has issued a warrant for President Vladimir Putin's arrest, it is no more than the first step in a very long process.

The United Nations clearly believes there is sufficient evidence to accuse the Russian leader of war crimes in Ukraine.

However the practical and logistical problems in pursuing such a case are immense.

This is what the process of bringing Mr Putin to justice could look like.

Can President Putin be arrested?

At present, the Russian leader enjoys unchallenged power in his native land, so there is no prospect of the Kremlin handing him over to the ICC.

As long as he stays put in Russia, he faces no risk of being arrested.

Mr Putin could be detained if he leaves the country. But, given the fact that his freedom of movement is already severely limited by international sanctions against him, he is unlikely to show up in a country that would want to put him on trial.

Since Russian troops invaded Ukraine in February 2022, he has visited just eight countries. Seven of those would be considered by him to be part of Russia's "near abroad" - that is, they were constituent parts of the Soviet Union before it collapsed at the end of 1991.

His only recent destination that does not fall into this category is Iran, which he visited in July last year to meet the theocracy's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.

Since Iran has helped the Russian war effort by supplying drones and other military hardware, any repeat visit to Tehran would be unlikely to place Mr Putin in any jeopardy.

What war crimes is Russia accused of?

Will Putin actually face trial?

There are at least two big obstacles to that. Firstly, Russia does not recognise the jurisdiction of the ICC.

The court was established in 2002 by a treaty known as the Rome Statute.

This statute lays down that it is the duty of every state to exercise its own criminal jurisdiction over those responsible for international crimes. The ICC can only intervene where a state is unable or unwilling to carry out the investigation and prosecute perpetrators.

In all, 123 states have agreed to abide by it, but there are some significant exceptions, including Russia. 

Some countries, including Ukraine, have signed the treaty, but not ratified it. You can see a full list of countries that are party to the Rome Statute here.

So you can see that the legal position is already getting shaky.

And secondly, although it's not unknown for trials to be held without the defendant in the dock, that's not an option here. The ICC does not conduct trials in absentia, so that avenue is closed off too.

Who else has faced this kind of trial?

The idea of trying people for crimes against humanity pre-dates the existence of the ICC.

It began in 1945 after World War Two with the Nuremberg Trials, which were held to punish key members of the hierarchy in Nazi Germany for the Holocaust and other atrocities.

Those included Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess, who was sentenced to life imprisonment and died by his own hand in 1987.

Of course, Mr Putin has not actually been charged with crimes against humanity, even though US Vice-President Kamala Harris has argued that he should be.

And if he were, that would pose another legal dilemma as the UN itself says, "crimes against humanity have not yet been codified in a dedicated treaty of international law, unlike genocide and war crimes, although there are efforts to do so."

Other bespoke bodies have sought to convict those accused of war crimes. That includes the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, a UN organisation that existed from 1993 to 2017.

During that time, it convicted and sentenced 90 people. But arguably the most notorious of those indicted, former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, died of a heart attack in 2006 while in detention.

As for the ICC itself, it has so far indicted 40 individuals apart from Mr Putin, all from African countries. Of those, 17 people have been detained at The Hague, 10 have been convicted of crimes and four have been acquitted.

What does this mean for the war in Ukraine?

The arrest warrant is being seen as a signal from the international community that what is taking place in Ukraine is against international law.

The court says the reason it is going public with these warrants is that these crimes are continuing. In doing so, it is trying to deter further crimes taking place.

But, the main reaction from Russia so far has been to dismiss the warrants as meaningless.

In fact, the Kremlin denies its forces have committed any atrocities in Ukraine, and Mr Putin's spokesman called the ICC's decision "outrageous and unacceptable".

Faced with such defiance, it seems unlikely that the ICC's actions will have any impact on Russia's war in Ukraine - and Mr Putin's "special military operation" will continue to grind mercilessly on.
