Whenever a new cancer patient entered her office in the U.S., Dr. May Abdel-Wahab knew she could probably save their life. Now, as Director of the Division of Human Health at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), she delivers hope to patients in places where treatment has until now been unavailable.

“So much can be done to treat cancer, but too many people in the developing world have no access to care. It’s unthinkable. It’s unfair.”

With global cancer cases expected to mount in the next two decades, the IAEA is equipping low- and middle income countries with training and radiotherapy to help more people survive the disease. In this episode, Dr. May Abdel-Wahab reflects on the outlook for cancer outcomes around the world, the challenges of anchoring new treatment centres, and shares how her upbringing taught her to see the world as one human family.

“Every person that walks through the door is a new person, a new friend […] if they leave the exam room with a smile and feeling hope, then you’ve done a good job.”

As we’re about to redesign our euro banknotes, why not look back at some of the entries for our original design contest in 1996?

State of the European Union 2025: European Union Migration Control

Source: European Commission (video statements)

In her State of the European Union 2025 speech, President Ursula von der Leyen stressed the importance of European Union Migration Control.

Europe must build a migration system that is both humane and realistic. She highlighted the need for a rapid agreement on the Common European Return System, a new sanctions regime against smugglers and traffickers, and the swift implementation of the Pact on Migration and Asylum.

Her message is clear: protecting those fleeing war and persecution must go hand in hand with securing Europe’s borders, and success will depend on all Member States playing their part.

UK Assisted dying legislation debated by Lords

Source: United Kingdom UK House of Lords (video statements)

Lords members begin discussions on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill on Friday 12 September. This is the first of two days of second reading, the first phase of a bill’s passage through the Lords. Almost 200 members are expected to speak over two days, bringing a range of professional and lived experience, including nurses, doctors and lawyers.

The Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill is a private members’ bill, which  is a type of public bill introduced by an individual member of the Lords (rather than the government).

If passed, it would allow adults in England and Wales with a prognosis of less than six months to live to be provided with assistance to end their lives, subject to eligibility criteria and conditions.
