World: Advancing One Health implementation and investment: from country action to sustainable solutions

Country: World Source: World Health Organization The Quadripartite partners – the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) – highlighted a shared focus on implementation, science and investment at the 9th World One Health Congress, held in Lisbon, Portugal, from 4 to 7 September 2026. Across the joint sessions, the partners explored how stronger country implementation, scientific evidence and investment can help realize tangible One Health outcomes, supported by intersectoral collaboration, and reflecting the interconnectedness between the health of people, animals, plants and ecosystems. A key focus was implementation of the One Health Joint Plan of Action (OHJPA) at country level. Discussions at a session on the OHJPA explored how countries are translating the global framework into national action, while identifying practical enablers and barriers to implementation. Representatives from Malawi, Singapore and Uzbekistan shared their experiences of implementing One Health approaches, including their use of the OHJPA and its implementation guide developed by the Quadripartite. These experiences provided practical perspectives on how cross-sectoral coordination can be strengthened and adapted to national contexts. The partners also highlighted the importance of science and evidence in guiding One Health action. During its second term, the One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP) has generated evidence and recommendations to support countries and partners in implementing One Health. During the Congress, OHHLEP presented its 10 recommendations addressing barriers, strengthening enabling conditions and advancing implementation. At the Congress, OHHLEP also presented its mapping of international instruments for One Health, examining how One Health is reflected in sector-specific global normative instruments, and identifying opportunities for greater coherence, collaboration and action. Bringing this work into the Congress discussions reinforced the role of strategic scientific advice in shaping effective One Health policies and action. At the Congress, investment and financing formed a third key strand of Quadripartite engagement. Sessions explored how to build the investment case for One Health, demonstrate return on investment and identify opportunities to mobilize resources, including through blended financing. A session jointly organized with the World Bank further explored approaches to financing One Health action. With over 1300 participants, the 9th World One Health Congress brought together researchers, policymakers, practitioners and other stakeholders from around the world to advance One Health science, policy and practice. Together, the joint sessions demonstrated the Quadripartite’s commitment to helping countries move from global commitments to practical action, underpinned by evidence and supported by sustainable investment.

Football Daily | Klopp, Xavi, Zidane, Mancini: big nations ready to unleash bigger dogs

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! While Thomas Tuchel continues to gaslight his employer s at the FA into believing he was in no way responsible for England’s comically shambolic semi-final exit at the hands of Argentina, not every head coach who underperformed at the Geopolitics World Cup is still in their job. A total of 17 different managers who took teams to North America have since left their roles, with safety-first’s Steve Clarke, failing-up’s Roberto Martínez and tyranny’s Marcelo Bielsa among them. In Europe, teams such as Portugal (Jorge Jesus), Croatia (Slaven Bilic), Scotland (Sébastien Pocognoli), Czechia (Santi Denia) and Belgium (Mark van Bommel) will go into the Nations League under new management, but it is towards the bigger dogs of the football pack where Football Daily wishes to turn today’s beady gaze. Prize o’ the day to Barry Glendenning, surely, for mentioning Johnny Crumplin (football genius) in Monday’s Football Daily . As an Ipswich fan marooned in Sussex, I spent much of my teenage years at the Goldstone which, despite being a dump (I stood on the crumbling South Stand), held a certain magic for me. It still does, actually. Haven’t been to the Amex yet – hopeless nostalgia is undoubtedly a factor. The team weren’t much better than the ground for most of that time, but the 1987-88 promotion season was memorable. Garry Nelson was a bit special, Doug Rougvie had played under Fergie at Aberdeen and Gerry Armstrong had legendary status after *that* goal, but the rest of the team probably (and unfairly ) fall into the journeyman category. I loved them all. Keith Dublin dribbling his way into and then out of trouble, sleeves-up Kevin Bremner who grafted and worked the Albion into the promotion places, Deano (one of the Wilkins brothers) classy and, of course, Barry Lloyd, who never brought a sub on until the last four or five minutes, frustrating us beyond belief. And into this pantheon came teenage Johnny C who, to start with, was utterly hapless, hence the nickname football genius. Somehow, despite this, we took to him from the off and it was lovely to see how he grew into becoming an Albion legend in what were fallow years. Blimey, not sure where that all came from – you can probably tell I’m stuck out in the middle of the Fens on a slow-moving train. But thank you for bringing it all back to me!” – Jonathan Foulkes. I know the powers that be have listened to Football Daily’s ‘Stop Football’ pleas and given us very little to do for the next three weeks but, as we are just five games in to the Premier League season, can everyone stop going on about the race for the Golden Boot and which team are going to bloody champions” – Nigel Sanders. Judging by the photo of him sitting behind their ‘Life’s Good’ logo in yesterday’s Quote of the Day , LG could do a lot worse than appoint José Mourinho as a brand ambassador for their campaign. As football watchers have long known, he exudes the spirit of that exclamation from every single pore” – Andrew Parker. So, Jonathan Wilson has a new book, about football in Eastern Europe, Behind the Curtain , while his take on Zidane as the new France manager will reveal the ‘ wizard behind the curtain ’. Brilliant effort from the subeditor and marketing team working in harmony” – Paul Vickers. Continue reading...

‘Have some humanity’: Diogo Jota chants at Rúben Neves a wake-up call for Saudi Arabia

With added coverage comes added scrutiny and there is a feeling that the league was too lenient when punishing chants about the late Portugal forward The good thing about Cristiano Ronaldo playing in your league is that he is one of the most famous footballers ever and when he scores a great goal or reaches 1,000 (just 21 to go), many people watch. The bad thing about Cristiano Ronaldo playing in your league is that when something negative happens and he is involved, just as many people will watch and listen. Global attention is something that the big European leagues have had for years but it is something the Saudi Pro League, which has spent billions in search of achieving a similar stature, needs to get used to. On Sunday 13 September, Ronaldo wrote to his 680 million Instagram followers to discuss the events of Saturday evening. That was when Al-Taawoun supporters were coming to terms with a 6-0 home thrashing by Al-Hilal, whose £150m-plus forward line, Ollie Watkins and Gabriel Martinelli , got five between them. Fair to say that some handled it better than others as what followed was in the worst possible taste. Continue reading...

The Seasons review – Portuguese pastoral offers poetic excavation of myth and mapping

The rugged roads and lush vegetation of southern Portugal are showcased in this weaving-together of disparate threads of history and landscape In a sea of doomsday ecological documentaries, Maureen Fazendeiro’s pastoral marvel is a sight for sore eyes. A solo debut feature for the Lisbon-based French director, this hybrid film studies the historical and geographical contours of Alentejo, a rural region in southern Portugal. The opening is set to a jaunty soundtrack of energetic percussion beats and twinkling organ notes, taking in the resplendent vistas of the landscape, with its rugged roads and lush vegetation. We see, too, a small archaeological tool hunt for ancient relics beneath layers of golden dust. Mirroring these acts of care and attention, Fazendeiro’s film takes the form of a cinematic excavation, fusing present-day tableaux with archival materials, folkloric legends with historical records. The abundant use of tracking shots not only takes in the wondrous biodiversity of Alentejo but also facilitates a fluid movement between separate epochs. Observational scenes of green hills, boundless blue skies and roaming livestock are overlaid with narrated excerpts from second world war-era letters written by German archaeologists Georg and Vera Leisner. Credited with producing the first inventory of megalithic monuments in Alentejo, the pair imbues their wartime correspondence with the joy of discovery and the sadness of exile. Continue reading...
