For more than a decade, Nigeria has been the most dangerous place on Earth to give birth. Nigerian women are dying from pregnancy or childbirth complications. Almost a third of maternal mortality deaths happen in the country. According to the World Health Organization, 75,000 women in Nigeria died from pregnancy-related complications in 2023 alone. That’s one death every seven minutes, most of them from preventable complications. The leading killer is postpartum hemorrhage, or severe bleeding after birth, that can turn joy into tragedy in minutes. DW’s Olisa Chukwumah reports on an NGO working to bring help where it is needed most.

Clear majority backs restarting Maanshan reactor but doesn’t reach legal threshold, as president says nuclear power may be reconsidered if it becomes safe
A referendum to push for the reopening of Taiwan’s last nuclear plant has failed to reach the legal threshold to be valid, though the president said the island could return to the technology in the future if safety standards improved.
The plebiscite on Saturday, backed by the opposition, asked whether the Maanshan power plant should be reopened if it was “confirmed” there were no safety issues. The plant was closed in May as the government shifts to renewables and liquefied natural gas.
