THE memories of Bradford man Rudi Leavor who fled Nazi Germany as a Jewish refugee will live on despite his death at the age of 95. Mr Leavor, of Heaton, died peacefully in his sleep on Tuesday, but the impact he had on all who knew him has been felt across Bradford as tributes continue to pour in. Mr Leavor, who was chairman of Bradford Synagogue, was recognised when he received a BEM medal for his interfaith work which hit global headlines when Jani Rashid became the first Muslim to join the Synagogue Council. A spokesperson for the Council for Mosques in Bradford paid tribute to Mr Leavor, saying: “We are deeply saddened by the death of Rudi Leavor, and extend our condolences to his family and many friends.

A third group of refugees brought to Australia under now-repealed Medevac legislation have been released from immigration detention in Melbourne, a week after 46 fellow detainees were free on temporary visas with little warning.
At least 12 men are believed to have been released from Melbourne s Immigration Transit Accommodation shortly after midday on Thursday, according to advocates, after being granted six-month bridging visas that allow them to live and work in the community.
Advocates say another refugee was released after being transferred from the Park Hotel in Carlton, which has been used as a makeshift immigration detention centre, and two more from other locations.
Australia is a nation of sheep eaters. Per capita, only Kazakhstan consumes more, according to OECD meat consumption data. Knowing this it is perhaps less surprising that Meat and Livestock Australia’s eccentric, expensive lamb advertisements have become an annual media event. So why doesn’t the other commonly eaten member of the Caprinae sub family, the goat, get a look-in? Australians consume goat milk and goat cheese, but goat meat is still.
One key component of the strategy is the launch of Make Travel Matter (MTM) Experiences. In its concept, MTM Experiences are conscious travel options which take into consideration the social or environmental impact of a trip.
MTM Experiences are identified by a robust set of criteria directly linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and use a unique proprietary online assessment to ensure these goals are being met. TTC customers can spot which brands use the MTM schemes online by keeping an eye out for the MTM seal.
“Make Travel Matter Experiences have already impacted what we are prioritising in travel,” says Guihan. “The industry is realising that if we want the travel experience to be maintained - if we want our communities to be healthy and safe, if we want our children to be healthy and safe - then prioritising a sustainable, regenerative recovery is simply what we need to do.”
