It's awesome that Kiwi midwives now learn about indigenous practices but we need more Māori and Pacific trainees to meet the rising demand for culturally specific birthcare, says Janet Taiatini, one of Aotearoa's longest-serving registered Māori midwives. "Our children coming through kura kaupapa Māori, obviously their lens is going to be different and they have different needs ... A lot of us, as we identify as being Māori, we're wanting to be more indigenised," she tells RNZ's Afternoons. Taiatini, who first discovered her passion for assisting childbirth as a nurse in the Middlemore Hospital maternity ward, became a registered midwife in 1988. In the early days, she thought of herself as "just a midwife who happened to be Māori". But after 1990, when changes to the Nurses Amendment Act enabled midwives to be autonomous practitioners, other Māori midwives started popping up around Auckland. To provide in-home care for pregnant Māori women and their whānau who weren't engaging with regular hospital services, the group banded together as a south Auckland midwives collective. Many Māori mothers-to-be prefer receiving care at home and having whānau involved in their birthing experience, Taiatini says. A colleague's recent experience supporting an expectant māmā in hospital is, to her, a positive sign that these needs are increasingly on offer in the mainstream system. "She was able to karanga [ceremonially welcome] that baby and karakia [sing] up in the theatre when their baby was being born. That was really nice for the whānau but also for the staff." Over the decades, Taiatini has lost count of how many babies she's delivered but reckons it's somewhere in the thousands. Now based in Hamilton, she currently supports Māori and Pacific midwifery students at Wintec (Waikato Institute of Technology) via a government-funded pastoral programme. When that soon comes to an end due to lack of funding, Taiatini plans to continue practising as a midwife and keep sharing with trainees her knowledge of indigenous birthing practices - with a side of good vibes.

Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara released a statement Friday slamming the "100% false" media reports that suggested he had thrown his final pass for the Hawkeyes. McNamara has been sidelined since sustaining a concussion during the Oct. 26 win against Northwestern. Backup quarterback Brendan Sullivan has started the last two games for the Hawkeyes (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) but is out with an ankle injury for Saturday's game at Maryland (4-6, 1-6). Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said earlier this week that Jackson Stratton will be the likely starter against the Terrapins if McNamara is unavailable. McNamara's cloudy status prompted speculation on a podcast this week that he was "not mentally ready to play." The podcast hosts from the Des Moines Register and The Athletic also suggested that McNamara -- who played three years at Michigan (2020-22) before transferring to Iowa -- is not "fit to play quarterback in the Big Ten right now." "We don't want to bury his career yet, but it does seem like that interception against Northwestern was his last snap as a Hawkeye," Leistikow said. McNamara, who passed for 1,017 yards with six touchdowns and five interceptions in eight games this season, released a statement updating his current status. "My status is the same as it's always been -- a proud member of this football team," he said. McNamara said he has not yet been cleared to play. He said he was cleared to practice on Sunday but suffered an "adverse reaction" and was unable to practice this week and therefore unable to travel with the team to Maryland. "I have been working with the University of Iowa doctors and trainers, a concussion specialist focused on vision training, as well as engaging in hyperbaric treatments as frequently as possible," McNamara said. "I have every intention to play versus Nebraska next Friday night and I am confident that my teammates will return from Maryland with a win." Including his time with the Wolverines, McNamara has completed 60.9 percent of his passes for 4,703 yards with 31 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in 34 games. --Field Level Media
NoneNebraska will be trying to preserve its perfect in-state record when it hosts South Dakota on Wednesday night in a nonconference game in Lincoln, Neb. The Cornhuskers (4-1) are 3-0 at home and also won Friday at then-No. 14 Creighton, beating their in-state rivals on the road for the second straight time. But the last time they did that, in 2022, they followed that win with a 16-point loss at Indiana to open Big Ten Conference play. "Believe me, we've addressed a lot of things," Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg said. "A lot of people are saying some really positive things. You've got to find a way to put that behind you. I've liked how our team has responded and come back to work after that great win at Creighton." Brice Williams leads the Cornhuskers with 18.2 points per game and was one of five players in double figures against Creighton. Juwan Gary topped the list with 16. South Dakota (6-2) comes to town off a 112-50 home win Monday night over Randall, the third non-Division I school it has beat. The Coyotes' last game against a D1 opponent was Friday at Southern Indiana, resulting in a 92-83 loss. This will be South Dakota's second nonconference game against a Big Ten opponent, after a 96-77 loss at Iowa on Nov. 12. In December, the Coyotes also visit Santa Clara, hovering near the top 100 in KenPom adjusted efficiency, before jumping into Big Sky play. "The schedule is very good and that should help us," third-year South Dakota coach Eric Peterson said before the season. "We have some good nonconference games that should help prepare us for the end of the season." Nebraska has held four of its opponents to 67 or fewer points, with Saint Mary's the only one to top that number in the Cornhuskers' lone loss. Opponents are shooting 38.1 percent this season. South Dakota shot below 40 percent in its two previous games before shooting 62 percent against Randall. Isaac Bruns, who scored 20 to lead South Dakota in the Randall game, paces the Coyotes with 12.9 points per game. --Field Level MediaPlease enable JavaScript to read this content. President William Ruto yesterday gave his strongest indication yet of strengthening his political union with opposition leader Raila Odinga, with significant implications for the country’s political landscape, as he wooed Nyanza with a package of goodies. For a man who has faced a series of political challenges in recent months, Ruto appears to have found both comfort and support in Raila’s camp, showering him with praise for helping steady his political ship. Addressing two rallies in Kisumu yesterday, the President painted an optimistic picture of an economy on the rise and urged Nyanza to back his administration. But beneath the surface of his speech were political undertones, including subtle barbs aimed at his former deputy, Rigathi Gachagua. Raila’s allies, who accompanied Ruto, also expressed their backing for his leadership. “In the past, I helped Agwambo, and this time around, he has returned the favour. Is there any problem? Should we continue or not?” an upbeat President asked. Jubilant residents cheered him on, chanting ‘kumi’ (10) to show their support for a second term for the Kenya Kwanza leader. The President nodded with a smile and pledged to focus on development projects and national unity first. He reaffirmed his full support for Raila’s bid for the African Union Commission (AUC) chairmanship, adding that Raila is currently campaigning across Africa to secure votes. Ruto then emphasised the need for unity, stating that his mission was to ensure the country remains united. While not directly naming Gachagua, Ruto appeared to launch an attack on him, stating that his government would have no association with those who seek to sow division among Kenyans or stir up tribalism. “Those who are only interested in dividing Kenyans along tribal lines and spreading hatred should go home. My government has no business with those who worship tribalism, hatred, and division. I assure you, under the love of God, we will unite this country into one,” he said.

At the height of Gachagua’s impeachment, Ruto’s allies accused him of perpetuating tribalism through his political rhetoric of political shares and exclusion in government. In his speech, the President pledged to continue with development projects that will unlock the region’s economic potential. He announced that his government will allocate Sh800 million in January to support fisheries development in counties bordering Lake Victoria. Similarly, in Kisumu, he said his administration is constructing 2,400 affordable housing units but is keen to build a total of 10,000 units. The President also said his administration had dedicated Sh1 billion for the construction of a fisheries and research centre in Kabonyo Kanyagwal. He also noted that his administration was pursuing a universal healthcare scheme that would allow all Kenyans to access treatment in health facilities to cater for everyone, including those who are unable to pay. “Under the new universal healthcare scheme, all citizens will have access to healthcare. For those who cannot afford it, the government will cover the costs,” he claimed.

Earlier, the President had presided over the launch of the Fourth African Sub-Sovereign Governments Network (AFSNET) Conference 2024, where he announced that he had directed Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi to allocate funds for youth employment in Kisumu under the ‘Kazi kwa Vijana’ initiative. “I am happy to be in Kisumu, and just as I promised to support Raila for the AUC seat, he is campaigning all over Africa for it. For the love of God, he will sit in that seat and be Chair,” he said. The President also highlighted his government’s commitment to supporting devolution and ensuring the timely release of resources to counties. “I have agreed with Parliament that they will not go on recess until they pass the Division of Revenue Act and the County Allocation of Revenue Act,” he concluded. He was reacting to the sentiments by Mbadi, who said the national government would ensure that counties receive funding on time. The National Treasury Cabinet Secretary announced that the national government does not have any arrears to counties, and noted that they were fully going to support counties.

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump on Sunday pushed Russian leader Vladimir Putin to act to reach an immediate ceasefire with Ukraine, describing it as part of his active efforts as president-elect to end the war despite being weeks from taking office. “Zelenskyy and Ukraine would like to make a deal and stop the madness,” Trump wrote on social media, referring to Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In a television interview that aired Sunday, Trump also said he would be open to reducing military aid to Ukraine and pulling the United States out of NATO. Those are two threats that have alarmed Ukraine, NATO allies and many in the U.S. national security community. Asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” if he were actively working to end the nearly 3-year-old Ukraine war, Trump said, “I am.” He refused to say if he had spoken to Putin since winning the election in November. “I don’t want to say anything about that, because I don’t want to do anything that could impede the negotiation,” Trump said. ‘Russia brought war to our land’ Trump’s call for an immediate ceasefire went beyond the public policy stands taken by both the Biden administration and Ukraine and drew a cautious response from Zelenskyy. It also marks Trump’s wading unusually deeply into efforts before his inauguration on Jan. 20 to resolve one of the major global crises facing the lame-duck Biden administration. Trump made his proposal after a weekend meeting in Paris with French and Ukrainian leaders in Paris, where many world leaders had gathered to celebrate the restoration of the Notre Dame cathedral after a 2019 fire. None of the advisers traveling with him appeared to have expertise on Ukraine. Kyiv would like to close a deal, Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “There should be an immediate ceasefire and negotiations should begin.” “I know Vladimir well. This is his time to act. China can help. The World is waiting!” Trump added. He was referring to mediation efforts by China that many in the West have seen as favoring Russia. Zelenskyy described his discussions Saturday with Trump, brought together by French President Emmanuel Macron, as “constructive.” In a post Sunday on the Telegram messaging app, Zelenskyy cautioned that Ukraine needs a “just and robust peace, that Russians will not destroy within a few years.” “When we talk about an effective peace with Russia, we must talk first of all about effective peace guarantees,” Zelenskyy said. “Ukrainians want peace more than anyone else. Russia brought war to our land.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded to Trump’s post by repeating Moscow’s longstanding message that it is open to talks with Ukraine.SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — DeMarr Langford Jr. put in the winning points off his offensive rebound at the buzzer and Amar'e Marshall scored 18 points as Albany defeated Kansas City 67-65 on Saturday.
