World diary early 2024, and my views.

WELCOME TO OUR GENERAL BLOG YOU ARE INVITED. Here, we will post articles about world issues, Australian issues, Italian issues. And we will post also my personal life story articles. 

              Wars bring only destruction, see the photo below. 
 

This photo above shows the destruction in the Gaza strip. Anyhow, at a news conference on Friday Mr. Netanyahu said that his country had "exacted a heavy price from Hamas" Not everything is known to the public yet, nor to Hamas, but the full range of the achievements will be reveled soon. 
  

We are writing these articles, to remind us of what has happened during our lives. Anyhow, we are at the beginning of a new year, and we all hope that the year 2024 brings better things, because most of us are struggling to make sense of what is happening around us. You see, we can say that another year is gone and what humanity has achieved this last year is not much, as we cannot find any improvement at all. Perhaps we are worse off, since there is another war going on in the Middle East, and even worse this war between Israel and Hamas can escalate, because most Arabic countries side with Hamas, and there have been attempts to stop shipping at the exit of the Red Sea into the Gulf of Aden.

Strange as it may seem, the world is still finding ways to start a war, instead of trying harder how to avoid wars.

So, let us hope that this does not start larger war. 

Now, let us see what the internet news has reported, about the war between Israel and Hamas on the Gaza strip. And I quote. 

---------------------- 

Talks to agree a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza were "not very promising" in recent days, mediator Qatar said.

Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said he remained optimistic, but added "time is not in our favour".

It comes as Israel's Prime Minister said he would press ahead with plans for a Rafah ground invasion, despite growing international pressure.

 

Hamas has blamed Israel for a lack of progress in achieving a ceasefire deal.

Talks have been taking place in Cairo as senior officials from the US, Israel, Egypt and Qatar meet to try to broker a pause in fighting.

"The pattern in the last few days are not really very promising but, as I always repeat, we will always remain optimistic and will always remain pushing," said Sheik Mohammed, speaking at a meeting of world leaders at the Munich Security Conference.

"I believe in this agreement we are talking at a bigger scale and we still see some difficulties on the humanitarian part of these negotiations," he added.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he sent negotiators following a request from US President Joe Biden, but added they did not return for further discussions because Hamas's demands were "delusional".

The group has laid out a series of demands, including the exchange of hostages for Palestinian prisoners, the full withdrawal of Israel's forces and an end to the war after three 45-day truces.

(End of quote about the Gaza Strip war.

--------------------------------

We know that the war between the Israelite and the Arabs has been on and off for thousands of years. We also believe that this cannot be the last war because there will be many people hurt, but they need to find the strength how to live in a more peaceful way. But it is hard to find peace.   

As we have said. Strange as it may seem, the world is still finding ways to start a war, instead of trying harder how to avoid wars. And what can be done we do not know. 

--------------------------------- 

               Photo of world leaders meeting in Kiev Ukraine. 

Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky and world leaders participate in a joint media conference in Kyiv, Ukraine, on February 24, President Zelensky has marked the second anniversary of Russia invasion, that his country will succeed, by they need help.     

About the Ukraine war.

Anyhow, to understand what is happening in Ukraine, the best way is to post what I found on the internet. 

(And I quote).  

  • Zelensky said Trump should go with him to see the 'real war' but added 'it depends on his wishes'
  • Harris pledged support to Ukraine and said they must stop the 'aggressor' Russia or Putin would 'keep going' 

President Zelensky invited Donald Trump to go 'to the front line' to see the 'real war' while Kamala Harris pledged 'unwavering' support to Ukraine despite aid stalling in Congress

Speaking at the Munich Security Conference on Friday, Vice President Harris stood by Zelensky as she said 'we must be unwavering and we cannot play political games' as it would allow Putin 'to take land with impunity' and 'keep going'. 

But Congress, led by a Republican majority, has been stalled for months over further aid for Ukraine, with $47 billion, as part of a $66 billion aid and migration package, currently stuck.

Meanwhile at the conference, when asked whether it would be a good idea to invite former president Trump to Kyiv, Zelensky said: 'I invited him publicly, but it depends on his wishes.'

'If ... he will come, I'm ready even to go with him to the front line,' he said and promised he would show him the 'real war away from Instagram’. (End of quote)

Anyhow, wars have many sides and many reasons why they happen, and people judge wars according to the side they happen to be in, and they think that the side they are in is always right, because they are told from their leader, that it is so. But non all the leaders can be trusted, and know what they are doing, for instance. Vladimir Putin a few years ago, seemed to be one of those leaders that could not go wrong. But today from the western side of the fence, so to speak, Putin cannot be trusted. You see he started a war that could easily be avoided. Today they say that Putin has ordered the elimination of one of his political opponents. Now this man is dead, and his body cannot be found. If what they are saying is true, how can you trust a man like that. Anyhow, from that the live in the western world, we are waiting to see, what the Russian people are going to do, are they continuing to trust Putin, or are they going to vote Putting out of office?  

Now let us go back to talk about wars, here I am afraid to say that war do not achieve anything good, they only destroy humanity, in many ways. So, in would be helpful if humanity learns how to avoid wars, and concentrate how to keep this planet safe, one of the things they need to work out, is how to stop the climate warming getting worse. So, let us talk about that.

---------------------- 

               These are some of the causes of climatic change. 


Today the weather seems to be hotter than before, and we have a lot of violent storms, the future forecast is even worse, so, we must be worried, and we should do something about it. The main cause seems to be fossil burning, like you see in this picture, so we need to do something about it.  


Our climate warming concerns.

Today we have so much technology and we should be able to solve our climatic problems, but it does not work that well, because we do not make it the most important priority. So, I am afraid to say that we might be running out of time soon, and we will we living on a much hotter planet soon. They say that because the polar ice melts, there could be other changes as well, which can result in some places being colder. Just like in the film, The Day After Tomorrow. Anyhow, when they made the film, we thought that it would never happen, but today with everything changing, even that could be possible.

 Anyhow, let us see what is happening in Australia, and hereunder are some reports that I have found on the internet.   

(And I quote)  

The Bureau of Meteorology has forecast heatwave conditions for Western Australia over the coming days.

Temperatures broke records at the weekend, nudging 50 degrees on Sunday in Gascoyne and Central West, marking some of Australia's hottest temperatures ever recorded.

 It was the highest temperature recorded in the world so far in 2024 and the hottest day of summer in the country.

Today temperatures will hit 42 degrees and 39 on Tuesday.

Ex-Cyclone Lincoln is drifting towards the Western state, however fire risk remains high.) (End of quote).

----------------------------

I hope you can see what I mean. Today politicians continue to make the same mistakes. They fight wars, they spend so much time in organizing how to win their seat in next election and other things. But they do not spend enough time to solve the most important problem, climatic warming.

Anyhow, I hope that in the near future, the elected politicians make global warming their first priority. This is all I can say in this article, because it is becoming too long.

World news diary, September 2023.

WELCOME TO OUR GENERAL BLOG YOU ARE INVITED. Here, we will post articles about world issues, Australian issues, Italian issues. And we will post also my personal life story articles. 


Today these things should not happen, so, I wonder why the people that have perished were not warned in time, about 900 buildings were completely destroyed, and where there were houses, now there is nothing left, and many people have died. We can only feel sorry for them. 


Welcome to our article, World News Diary, September 2023..  

Now, this article is a few months old, but I am reposting it in blogger to keep my diary going. Anyhow, this month of September has started with lots of bad news, for the African continent. There are at least three things that are happening, all at the same time. Here we are talking about, the earthquake in Morocco, the floods in Libya and the refugees that want to migrate to Europe, and there are thousands of them. Hereunder is how this news were reported on the internet (and I quote)

Morocco earthquake kills more than 2,000 people, survivors sleep outdoors.

 

·         With homes destroyed, villagers prepare for night outside

·         Quake damages historic buildings in Marrakech old city

·         WHO says more than 300,000 people affected in quake zone

·         People flee houses in Casablanca, Rabat, elsewhere

·         Deadliest Morocco quake since 1960, USGS records show

AMIZMIZ, Morocco, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Moroccan earthquake survivors huddled for a night in the open on the High Atlas Mountains on Saturday, a day after the country's deadliest quake in more than six decades killed more than 2,000 people and laid waste to villages.

Neighbours were still searching for survivors buried on the slopes, where houses of mud brick, stone and rough wood were cracked open and mosque minarets toppled by the quake that struck late on Friday. The historic old city of Marrakech also suffered extensive damage.

(End of quote)

Here I must say that it seems strange to me, that only some countries are allowed to help them, and I wonder why.  

------------------------

Now let us talk about the Libya floods.

Here I quote what I found on the internet news.

One week on from the devastating floods in Libya, more than 10,000 people are still missing in the port city of Derna as aid agencies warn of a humanitarian crisis for remaining residents.

Almost 900 buildings in the city were completely destroyed and lives were torn apart by nature's power, as well as human failings.

Devastated residents, 30,000 of whom are now homeless in Derna alone are in desperate need of clean water, food, shelter and basic supplies amid a growing risk of cholera, diarrhoea, dehydration and malnutrition.

The death toll from the devastating floods in Derna remains unclear with the figure rising to at least 11,300 while a further 10,000 remain missing.

Derna Mayor Abdel-Moneim al-Ghaithi has warned that the death tally could climb to 20,000 given the number of neighbourhoods that have been washed away. (End of quotes)

Now this is not all, because there are the African emigrants, that want to go to Europe at all costs, to talk about hereunder.

--------------------------

The African emigrant problem.

As if what has been happening in Africa is not enough trouble, there are also bad news about the migrant boats. See hereunder this report that I found on the internet, and I quote.

Italy struggles to deal with migrant boats following a surge in arrivals.

Facilities on the Italian island of Lampedusa are being overrun by thousands of migrants who have arrived by boat in recent weeks.

It comes as Tanzanian authorities have arrested hundreds of migrants and people smugglers as they attempt to make their way to Europe.

 Lampedusa has recently become the brunt of crossing from Tunisia and is not the main migrant smuggling base, replacing Libya.

Nearly 126,000 migrants have been reported to have arrived in Italy this year, almost doubling the figure in 2022.

Migrants have had to be transferred to relieve the overstretched refugee centre, which has a normal capacity of around 400.

Italian PM warns migration an issue for all of Europe on Lampedusa visit.

Story by Angela Giuffrida in Lampedusa and Lisa O'Carroll in Brussels •7h

Italy’s prime minister has said that European countries must work together “to stop departures [from Africa]” and swiftly deport those turned down for asylum, who she said, “threaten the future of Europe”, after thousands of people seeking refuge arrived on Lampedusa in the last week.

 Giorgia Meloni toured the tiny Sicilian Island, which for years has been the first port of call for people making the treacherous journey by sea from north Africa, on Sunday morning alongside Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission.

The three-hour visit, which included a stop-off at an overcrowded reception centre and a site near the port that contains the remains of flimsy boats used by migrants, came after almost 8,500 people landed within three days last week – more than the island’s population of 6,000. (End of quote)

I believe that the Italian PM Giorgia Meloni is right, they need to stop these unwanted emigrants, because they are just too many, and there will be more problems, if they do not succeed in stopping them.

What I can add here is this. Most times these emigrants do not seem poor at all, they dress well and are healthy and well fed. So, they leave their native land to go in search of a better life, that perhaps is only a dream and does not exist, but try to tell them that?

The electric vehicle problem. 


A Tesla Model S caught fire while plugged-in at a Supercharger in Norway, and almost completely burned down to nothing. The event happened at 14.30 Friday afternoon (local time) at a Tesla fast-charging station in Gjerstad, Norway

Today we are told to buy electric vehicles, because that will be good for the environment, since they do not emit any carbon that affects global warming. Okay, we believe they are cleaner vehicles for that reason. But we do not really know what other problems they can cause in the future, see what I found on the internet. (And I quote.)    

Electric vehicles.

Sky News host James Macpherson says electric vehicle fires burn so hot that it takes firefighters “forever” to put them out.

There are numerous reports of electric vehicles catching fire, with a growing trend of occurrences.

“It releases toxic chemicals that go into the skin and there’s no PPE gear that can protect firefighters from that,” Mr Macpherson said.

“There was some advice issued this week that if your EV is involved in an accident, you need to park it at least 15 metres away from any other vehicles because the fire might not be immediate.

“Weeks later the battery could suddenly catch fire.

“This is a massive problem with EVs.” (End of quote)

Just as I thought, we don’t know enough about the future problem that can arise from these electric cars. I am sure that the batteries and fires are the biggest problem.

Here I want to make this observation, most of us believe that we can solve the energy problem by going electric, but whatever we do there will be problems. For instance, what we do with all the electric batteries when they are old, can they be recycled? This also applies to the wind turbine and the solar panels, we need to know, if it is easy enough to recycle them, because while we may solve one problem, we may create another. So, here I wonder if the experts have worked this out. Hereunder is a link to battery fires.

Anyhow, now let look at other problems that we may have in life.

-------------------------------   

Australia housing problems

There are two things that we need in life to survive, we need food, and we need a roof over our head. This sounds simple enough, but not everybody can achieve that during their lives, and this is when the government can help if they make the right policies.

Anyhow, today we have this housing shortage, and it is hard to find houses or units for rent, at the same time the rent is going up and most people blame the landlords, as if it is the landlords that have caused this rental shortage. People do not understand that the landlords run a business, and every business needs to make money to exist, if there is not enough money in it, then that business will slowly run down end even cease to exist.

So, is would be better if the people and the authorities in charge, try to be more friendly with the landlords and try to find a solution that helps everybody. Otherwise, the few landlords left will slowly disappear, and everybody will be worse off. I hope I have explained it clear enough.

Now let me explain, the reason why there are not enough properties for rent, it is because there is not enough money in renting. One of the reasons, it is because today houses are very expensive to buy, then the authorities in charge are charging high levies to keep a property running, so, most landlords are forced to sell, because it is not worth having rental properties anymore.

So, I dare to suggest that the government gives more rent assistance to the low-income earner and find a way how to keep those levies lower. This is all I can say for the moment. see you next time.

Australia housing shortage causes.

WELCOME TO OUR GENERAL BLOG YOU ARE INVITED. Here, we will post articles about world issues, Australian issues, Italian issues. And we will post also my personal life story articles. 

This Australian housing shortage will be hard to solve.


What is happening these days is increadble, there are not enough properties for rent, so, we are looking for the causes why this is happening, some people blame the landlords for the shortage, but I do not believe that is the cause, since the landlords run a service to the community, and they would be happy to find a way, how to supply more rentals, if there was inough money in continuing to rent. 
------------------

Welcome to our blog discussions,  Australia Housing Shortage Causes.

Dear readers, in this article we are going to discuss the housing problem in Australia, hoping that one day our views will be considered seriously. In the past we have already written several other articles about housing and rentals, so, we know that there are problems in housing affordability, both to own a property, to run a property as a landlord, or to rent a property to live in. So, if you have read some previous articles, you may already know some of our views, about this subject.

Anyhow, in this article we will try to explain what we think is causing this housing shortage, and what could be done to improve the situation. I know that this is not going to be easy to do, because if it was easy they would have done it, but they have not, because it seems to me that they do not know what to do, they are trying to do many things, but up to know, it is not working, so, I better write my own views of what could be done that could solve this housing crisis.  

Now, let me explain my views. In Australia the country is run with the capitalist system, so, everybody is free to contribute to the economy, and when everything runs the way, it is supposed to run, everybody is happy, since the capitalist system becomes self-regulated from supply and demand, of whatever your business is. So, this system should not fail and would not fail, unless something prevents it to run freely. But today in Australia the rental market is not working properly, since there are not enough rental accommodations available, so, we must ask ourselves, what has caused this shortage? And then; what we need to do to overcome this problem?

---------------------------

What is causing Australia rental shortage.

We must assume that the capitalist system, cannot fail and will not fail, if there is enough money to run any business, up to the point of breaking even, and the rental market is just the same. You see, we must understand that the property owners, run a business that can be called a service to the community, and everybody that runs a service, is supposed to earn some money.

Because, when the people run a business and they start losing money, then those businesses will start closing, and if there is no correction coming up, they may even disappear. I believe that this is where we stand now with the rental market, and it would be helpful if some corrections are made, to make it worth while for the small investors to continue to stay on the rental market. Because, if nothing is done, they will slowly sell out and go, what else can they do.

So, let us see what is the main cause that has caused this rental problem, and then suggest what could be done. Today we know that there are not enough rental properties available, this can mean only one thing, there is not enough money in owning and renting these sorts of properties, because if there was enough money, the capitalist system would not have failed to supply them. We can also say that whatever has caused the system to fail, has been there for several years, but people have ignored it, because it was convenient to ignore it, but today we cannot ignore it anymore, because it is hurting many people, so, something needs to be done. Most people believe that this rental problem can be solved, if the government builds lots of affordable rental properties, but I do not believe that the government can solve this problem by itself, they need the private sector to run most of the rental properties. Because it will take a lot of money and time to build, several hundred thousand affordable rental accommodation, and that is all taxpayer money. So, it would be better if the private sector continues to help in the rental market.   

 

Who are the rental owners leaving the market.

Now let us see who are those rental owners, that have been renting affordable rental properties in the past, and today they are forced to sell out, because they are sick and tired to lose money, and at the same time be abused from the tenants and the government authorities, as if it is their fault, when the fault is the government fault that is taking away their earning, left right and centre, through charging so many levies, that make it impossible to run rental properties at a worthwhile profit.  

But that is not all, because the most unjust and even ridiculous and out of touch with realty are: the assets test and the gain tax.

For people that rely on the government pension, whether they are elderly people or disabled people, they will lose 3 dollars a fortnight per thousand above the threshold, when their property may make only one dollar per thousand per fortnight. So, they are losing a lot of money, and they would have been better off money wise, if they had no rental property at all. That is the reason they must sell.  

Some people might say that they still earn money, because the price of their property goes up with the passing of time. But that is debatable. You see, if you sell one property, that you have had for say twenty years, three times as much as when you bought it the first time, you will lose about one quarter of that money, to pay the gain tax. That money is lost for ever, you see, if you buy another property, of about the same value, you must pay the difference from your own pocket. I hope you see what I mean. So, there is no gain at all if you want to own another property, you only lose the tax money.

My view on this rental affordability is, that if the government wants to improve rental availability, they must make it easier for the rental owners to keep their properties running at an affordable cost. To do that they must charge less levies, they must set the assets test on rental properties, at about the same level that they can earn, and they must look at the gain tax on affordable rental properties.

If nothing is done, then the rental problem will not go away.

Rental problem discussions.

WELCOME TO OUR GENERAL BLOG YOU ARE INVITED. Here, we will post articles about world issues, Australian issues, Italian issues. And we will post also my personal life story articles. 


Today to rent a place to live in is hard to find. What we see in this pecture is a lot of people wanting to rent a place in Sydney. In other capital cities is about the same, there are not enough properties for rent anymore. So, there must be a reason why this is happening.

This Australian rental problem is hard to solve.

Welcome to our article, Rental Problem Discussions

This must be the Australian rental problem that nobody can solve.  

Let us start again from the beginning. Most countries have their own problem that need to be solved, so, they look for ways how to solve them. These days in Australia we have this housing problem because there are not enough houses to accommodate everybody, and while there are not enough houses, there are still emigrants coming in, and this will make this housing problem even worse. The federal government, the local governments and people talk about how to fix this rental problem, and they are suggesting a few things how to fix it, like most governments suggest building properties for rent, as if this can solve the rental problem for good, but I doubt that a few thousands new units can solve the rental problem. Because we need several times more units than they are suggesting. So, it seems to me that they do not know how to fix it properly, because what they are suggesting can only improve the situation a little, but we need something that will last for a long time, so, we must look for ways that can solve this housing problem for good.

Anyhow, let us see how bad this rental problem is, and the best thing to do that is to paste a report from the internet. (And I quote)

 Sydneysiders are continuing to face the longest stretch of rent rises in the city's history, but there are signs the market is slowing as tenants reach the limits of their ability to meet increasing prices.

The Domain Rental Report, released on Thursday, shows Sydney renters are paying an average of $720 a week for houses and $680 a week for units.

That represents a $70 increase for houses and a $130 increase for units compared to the same time last year.

The report also shows the city is facing its lowest ever vacancy rate at 0.9 per cent, meaning fewer options and less bargaining power for those looking for a rental.

Nicola Powell, chief of research and economics at Domain, said the figures represented the worst conditions for renters in Sydney's history.

"It's a very stressed picture for tenants in Sydney," Dr Powell said.

"This is the longest stretch of continuous rental growth that the city has ever seen."

But despite the record high rents, Dr Powell said the increases were not as fast as the "extreme" growth seen last year. (End of report)

Now let us talk about, what has caused this problem.

----------------------------

What has caused this rental shortage.

Having said that and seen the Sydney rental report above. We should ask ourselves why this is happening, and we must try to see what is the main cause that has created this rental shortage. So, if we keep an open mind, and we do not blame this group or that group for what is happening, it will be a lot easier to see the reason. Anyhow, I am 100% sure that the main problem is there, because there is not enough money in running rental properties, if there was money to be made, there would be lots of people trying to invest in rental properties. There is also the problem that rental properties are hard to run, so, people that have money keep away from having rental properties, because it is easier to invest somewhere else, where you can get better returns, with no problem at all.

Today with what is happening in the rental market, there are only a few existing investors left, and even these are thinking about selling out, and investing their money somewhere else. You see, today the landlords are being blamed for the rent they charge when renting their properties, as if they are robbing the tenants, when the reality is that they are losing money, because of the many levies charged on those properties. If the government in charge want to solve this rental problem. Then they must stop blaming the landlords and find ways how to keep the rental market alive so to speak, by pumping more money in the rental market. Everybody here must understand that the landlords are running a service to the community, and if you are in business you need to make some money, because that business cannot survive if you lose money.

Now that I have said that, let me add this. It is up to the government to find ways how to keep the remaining landlord on the market, otherwise they will all disappear, and the problem will be a lot bigger than it is now. Wake up politicians of Australia, do the maths, as if you are one of those small investors before you speak, and you will see the reasons why this is happening. And perhaps you can slow down, this process of the small landlord leaving for good. You can try to build some affordable rentals, but they will never be enough, you need the private sector to continue to service the community.

-------------------------

What the government is doing now.

 The following is what I found on the internet (and I quote).
Another 600 homes will be built across Queensland with a federal funding injection after a surging demand for social housing in the state.

However, state Housing Minister Meaghan Scanlon says it must be the beginning - not the end - of the Commonwealth's engagement in solving the housing "puzzle".

Almost $400 million from the Albanese government's Social Housing Accelerator will deliver the extra homes, with 80 per cent to be built outside Brisbane.

 It adds to the Queensland government's $5 billion social and affordable housing investment that will help commence 13,500 homes by 2027.

"This will build hundreds of homes across Queensland, while we will continue to work with the Palaszczuk government to deliver even more homes," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said. (End of quote).

The question here is about the cost that the taxpayers will pay to build these rental properties from scratch. Because it can be a lot cheaper, if they give more money to the low-income earners for rent assistance, and abolish the assets test on affordable rental properties, that the mums and dads still own, despite losing money. It seems to me that they are the heroes of the economy, but nobody wants to admit it, that is one of the reasons, why affordable rentals cannot go back like they were in the past. I hope you can see what I mean.  

Anyhow, this is all in this article, I will write next article about rental, where I will show you what I mean about doing the maths, with some examples.
