It is certainly unfair system

Why has Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan raised the pertinent question of limiting the UN Security Council permanent members to a total of five only?  This should be changed, as he appears to think now. He did not pause to insist on such a limited approach.  It inspires no trust at all. He did not deem it a fitting approach in present-day's wholly different context.  His strongly worded, stirring speech indicated his outlook upon this particularly vital matter in these tempestuous days.  Distinctly critiquing the prevailing situation, he made it quite clear that there was basically no sense in persisting with a system that places pressure on bending before the five selected countries. More than 190 countries have been bearing this intense pressure unavoidably.   It is really not a fair system at this cutting-edge time. What is urgently required in this changing situation is that more than 190 countries are subject to the whims of just five countries. It is ...

Hanna straps son to deliver a speech



It is a realistic narrative. So, don't expect the plain truth to quickly vanish. Still, the German politician Hanna has a lot to say clearly, especially since her wide popularity has earned her a name. Hanna Steinmüller, a 32-year-old German politician, has been a straightforward advocate for better visibility of children in our daily lives. She has begun to stress this issue since becoming Germany's first member of parliament.

It couldn’t possibly be low self-esteem. She has brought this reality to life by taking a novel idea and placing it decidedly at the practical end of the real-life spectrum. She has defined the real-life requirements. What was worth witnessing was her confidence as she addressed the Lower House. She was not only seen cradling her newborn child but also brought her little son to the Lower House. Her indomitable confidence was immense at such an exemplary decision. 

Belonging to the Green Party, she was not hesitant in strapping her son to her body when she delivered a speech in the Bundestag, Germany's lower house, during budget week recently. 

She made no hesitation in clearing "That wasn't planned,"  as Steinmüller told  the media."I only brought my son because he was sleeping. I thought, if I pass him to a colleague now, I will wake him up."

Steinmüller praised Bundestag President Julia Klöckner for allowing lawmakers to bring their children into the chamber when they are still being breastfed.

However, one significant Tuesday marked the first time that a lawmaker addressed the plenary while holding a baby. It was important to her to establish that children are part of everyday life. "But many people are unable to do that type of grit, especially single parents."

She said the common expectation remains that childcare can be organised for the entire day. "We believe the government should talk more about the millions of people who have to juggle work and childcare every day," the Greens, who are in opposition, think so. They noted the value of having political leaders who comprehend what it means to care for a child. 

Lawmaker Hanna Steinmüller is pushing for more visibility of children in everyday life, after she became the first member of parliament ever to address the lower house while holding a baby.
