It’s such a damaging and uncritical approach. – Ayo Khalil	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Being moderate, this is what makes a man. Not going online, showing watches, boasting, smoking cigars and saying sensationalist things for views, if you’re a Muslim, it’s not the example you should be following. Who do you worship? Is it God, or is it Andrew Tate? We have to ask these questions. – Ayo Khalil	Found on CNN 1 year ago
I have seen in real time what … sexual violence and sexual abuse and other types of abuse can do to an individual, men in this case have to take individual responsibility to really push back against … the way other men behave towards women. – Ayo Khalil	Found on CNN 1 year ago

We’re talking about roading, we’re talking about telecommunications, we’re talking about electricity and energy. There’s no question, we’ve got some big challenges ahead, we can’t continue the way that we have been going. We are going to see more of these types of weather events. So we have to be prepared. – Chris Hipkins	Found on CNN 1 year ago
What we need to see is China and the US, Australia, Canada, Brazil and the big emitters starting to pull their emissions down as well, and I hope we can provide a bit of inspiration, a bit of an example in this country to help other countries do the same, we really want to stop warming the climate more because these extreme events will become overwhelming. – James Renwick	Found on CNN 1 year ago

The whole area is usually very dry and very close to drought this time of year. Now it’s soaking wet, but that risk of drought hasn’t gone away, (and) in our predictions of how climate change is going to affect New Zealand, that’s a feature that seems to be fairly robust – that Northland (north of Auckland) will get drier. – Daithi Stone	Found on CNN 1 year ago
