Like most year old alice hands nightly chores include homework but space is limited she and her mother share this tiny subdivided one bedroom flat they live on a six hundred dollar monthly welfare payment but with rent at four hundred fifty dollars is not always enough left to put food on the table. I have to think a lot before buying anything sometimes i eat less or skip meals so that she can eat well you see shes quite skinny maybe she doesnt get enough nutrition its an increasingly familiar trend in hong kong soaring property prices have pushed up rent squeezing the most vulnerable the latest government figures for twenty six danish oh twenty percent of the population live below the poverty line is not possible the total. But there isnt a need to do is all right we can say we cant you limit the poverty situation and we do nothing the wealth gap between rich and poor in hong kong is also at its highest level in more than four decades according to the latest Government Data ten percent of the city and now earning forty four times that of the poorest households who have an average income of three hundred twenty dollars a month there are now around one Million People struggling to get by in hong kong while the elderly i consider the most vulnerable welfare groups say one in every five children are now living in poverty and a quarter of those are not getting access to basic food aid.

S. President donald trump seemed sort of backtracked on that decision hes tweeted put big game trophy decision on hold until such time as i review all conservation facts all day motors is president of the elephant project he says lifting the ban would harm the spaces. The reality is that the amount of revenue that is generated from these hunt is minuscule to the amount of money that these countries could generate by adopting what we call a humane economy where and now live elephant is of greater economic value to the country than a dead one i mean its been proven time and time again that a live elephant is seventy six times more beneficial economically to a country than a dead elephant so whats happening is this is just an opportunity for these very wealthy hunters that supported the trump Trump Presidency to basically get a payback because theres no benefit to the elephants and theres no benefit to the people in those communities and its one of those just need to be overturned really does two thousand and fifteen was a first first year that the number of elephants killed out there were higher than the number of elephants that were born and so that disparity continues to happen there is a rapid reduction in the number of elephants that are still living and whats happening what a lot of people dont think about is that in the hunt if they go after the bull elephants and bull elephants typically have more ivory thats of greater impact to elephant hers and anything else you could have you know three thousand female elephants but if you destroyed and killed all the mela since they cant procreate which is why youre seeing a drastic decline in the number of elephants that are being born then you much anticipated museum as the bible has now officially is and in washington d.

It is divided as to whether that is the case the curators argued that they were able to dilute their benefactors initial wish only to evangelize his christian beliefs and to be more inclusive of catholicism and judaism for example there are still omissions there here in the impact of the bible in the World Gallery their addresses adorned with crosses but theres no mention of the bibles relationship with other religions like islam for example eventually we were able to find mention of the biblical connection between the two faiths and this is this is it its the smallest of. Scholars say this fits the museums main narrative the bible is almost identical in their mind essentially American Products so as they look at the bible they look at it as judaism first then catholicism and now. Sort of no recognition that there were other things. Its not as if the museum was just a few blocks away on washington d. C. s National Mall dont also have singular narratives the smithsonians museums here deliver a message of american exceptionalism and manifest destiny even the recently opened National Museum of africanamerican history designed to fill in some of the more glaring gaps in the smithsonians narrative has been accused of black triumphalism presenting the black experience in the us as a constant march forward to contemporary emancipation. The influence of corporations and billionaires on these narratives is also evident most notoriously at the Natural History museum where a gallery of Human Development that happens to be sponsored by a fossil fuel billionaire suggests Climate Change is simply an opportunity for humans to evolve and improve so the museum of the bible provides just one more lavishly presented narrative among washington d.
