(FILES) President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Kirsty Coventry delivers her speech during the unveiling ceremony of the Dakar 2026 Youth Olympics mascot at the Grand Theatre in Dakar, on October 31, 2025. The Youth Olympic Games (YOG), scheduled to take place in Senegal from October 31 to November 13, are still struggling to gain traction in public conversation, far removed from the immediate concerns of many Senegalese. Jobs, the cost of living and household income are among the main worries. With just one month to go before the opening of the first Olympic event ever held in Africa, priorities lie elsewhere for many residents interviewed by AFP in this crisis-hit country.

*** BESTPIX *** LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 30: Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Yvette Cooper receives applause after speaking on the final day of the Labour Party conference at Liverpool Experience Campus on September 30, 2026 in Liverpool, England. Labour leader and Prime Minister Andy Burnham pledged to put Britain on a "new path" by rejecting 40 years of privatisation, austerity, and Brexit. In his speech at the Labour Party Conference yesterday, he promised to build an economy focused on the public interest by tackling youth unemployment and the cost-of-living crisis. Key proposals include removing VAT from electricity bills, introducing an NHS-style social care system, and launching a £4 billion publicly owned Great British Grid to lower energy costs while expanding public control over water, housing, and utilities.
