ORAL briefings: A-G fast becoming an embarrassment to his office by prejudging cases – Kwame Adofo

A private legal practitioner has sharply criticized the Attorney-General, Dr Dominic Ayine for publicly commenting on allegations against the former government appointees, saying such statements risk prejudicing legal proceedings. Adofo’s comments come after the Attorney General, Dr Dominic Ayine, made public remarks linking Abdul-Wahab Hanan Aludiba, former Chief Executive Officer of the National Food and Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO), to alleged corruption issues during a government press engagement. Kwame Adofo, speaking on The Forum on Asaase Radio on Saturday (25 October) said Attorney-Generals traditionally act on reasonable suspicion or belief of wrongdoing and leave determinations of guilt to the courts. “It’s strange. If you file charges against individuals that you believe or suspect have committed an offense, you don’t hold a press conference and muddy the person up before going to court,” Adofo said. “Whether or not these people have committed an offense is the matter for the court. He can only act on reasonable belief or reasonable suspicion.” Adofo described statements made by the Attorney-General during a recent press briefing on the alleged misappropriation by the former NAFCO CEO as “definitive and conclusive,” suggesting that the official had effectively judged and convicted the individual publicly. The lawyer also dismissed speculation that the Attorney-General might be acting under political pressure “That is something you don’t do as an Attorney-General. The matter of whether somebody is guilty or not guilty is for the courts. Until the person has been tried and convicted, you cannot conclusively state that they have looted.” “An Attorney-General is supposed to be a professional and shouldn’t act based on pressure. You need time to reflect and make a judgment which is informed,” Adofo said.

Is Earth’s second moon visible to the naked eye? Here’s how you can see the 2025 PN7

Is Earth’s second moon visible to the naked eye? Here’s how you can see the 2025 PN7 Earth has gained an unusual companion in space, but it’s not a second moon in the traditional sense. The small asteroid 2025 PN7, officially recognised by NASA as a quasi-moon, has been attracting attention as Earth’s new temporary celestial partner.What is 2025 PN7?Unlike the familiar Moon, 2025 PN7 does not orbit Earth directly. Instead, it follows a path around the Sun that closely mirrors Earth’s orbit, making it appear as if it is trailing the planet. Astronomers term such objects quasi-moons, as they are gravitationally bound to a sun-centered orbit that temporarily aligns with Earth’s.Discovered in August 2025 by the University of Hawaii using the Pan-STARRS system at Haleakalā Observatory, 2025 PN7 measures between 18 and 36 meters across. Despite its size, NASA confirms it has been accompanying Earth for roughly 60 years and is expected to remain in a quasi-orbit until approximately 2083.Mike Shanahan, planetarium director at New Jersey’s Liberty Science Center, told TODAY.com, “PN7 is a tiny asteroid roughly 60 feet across that is temporarily traveling in a similar orbit to Earth’s orbit, getting as close as 186,000 miles. It’s been traveling alongside Earth for 60 years but was only discovered this August.”Can You See Earth’s Second Moon?For casual skywatchers, the answer is no. 2025 PN7 is far too small and distant, about 4 million kilometres from Earth, roughly 10 times farther than the Moon, to be visible to the naked eye. Observing it requires high-powered telescopes like those at Haleakalā Observatory.Live Events“It’s way too faint to be seen by regular telescopes, let alone the naked eye,” Shanahan added. While online chatter has imagined Earth having a second visible moon, akin to Pandora in the film Avatar, reality remains that our planet still has only one natural satellite, the Moon, 239,000 miles away.Quasi-Moons vs Mini-MoonsAsteroid 2025 PN7 is classified as a quasi-moon because it shares Earth’s orbit for decades. In contrast, mini-moons are smaller objects that orbit Earth for only a few months before moving on. Since the 1990s, astronomers have identified more than 100 asteroids in Earth-like orbits.Quasi-moons like 2025 PN7 can remain in a synchronized orbit with Earth for over 100 years. Its long-term presence offers scientists a unique opportunity to study near-Earth objects and their orbital dynamics without posing any threat.No Threat to EarthDespite its proximity, 2025 PN7 is considered harmless. “It’s so small and distant that it poses no threat,” Shanahan confirmed. The asteroid’s trajectory keeps it safely away from Earth, and its primary interest lies in astronomy and orbital studies.FAQsIs 2025 PN7 a real second moon? No. 2025 PN7 is a quasi-moon, meaning it orbits the Sun in a path similar to Earth’s, giving the appearance of a companion moon.Can I see 2025 PN7 in the sky? Not with the naked eye. Only powerful telescopes, like those at Haleakalā Observatory, can detect it.Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!

Keir Starmer shares post-punk passion and revisits musical past

Keir Starmer has said he is a fan of the Scottish post-punk band Orange Juice and northern soul, in a deep dive of his musical tastes and personal life. On BBC Radio 3’s Private Passions, Starmer chose a selection of his favourite music including works by Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Elgar, and reflected on his own musical journey, which included learning to play violin alongside Norman Cook, AKA Fatboy Slim, at school. Starmer was a keen musician in his childhood, playing flute, piano, recorder and violin, and won a Guildhall School of Music and Drama scholarship. He said he still listened to music every day as a form of escape. He described the jangle pop band Orange Juice as “absolutely fantastic” and said he had discovered their music after moving to Leeds for university, where he studied law in the 1980s. “The whole cultural experience going from rural village life to a really busy, diverse, fantastic, living city like Leeds. And with it came a whole new chapter of music,” he said. “I love the music [of Orange Juice], I love the lyrics, but also for me it’s this memory of going to Leeds.” Related: A real party island: Keir Starmer’s desert discs have Stormzy and soul In an interview recorded at Chequers last week, he also talked about his family’s love of northern soul music. “If you can imagine me, sleeves rolled up, chopping in the kitchen, happy, listening to northern soul and my daughter singing away at the top of her voice,” he said. Starmer shared personal details of his family life, including his mother’s struggle with Still’s disease, a rare auto-inflammatory disorder that led to her death weeks before he was first elected as an MP in 2015. “I later learned that my dad had organised a way to get her into her wheelchair, he’d adapted their car and he had arranged that they would be there when I was sworn in as a member of parliament. I didn’t know this and of course that couldn’t happen,” he said. His first song choice was music from Swan Lake, in tribute to his mother’s love of ballet. The prime minister became emotional as he discussed the death of his younger brother, Nick, aged 60 on Boxing Day last year. “It really hit me. That was really hard because I just wanted to grieve for my little brother. And music gave me a place to go to escape from all of that,” he said. When questioned about the decline of music on the school curriculum, he said: “I think we’ve let music, creatives and art slip too much. It is a concern that the numbers have gone down. I think to be fair we need to signal what an A-level in music might give to you.” He also said the government was determined to ease some of the problems created by Brexit that meant British musicians were finding it difficult to tour in Europe. “It’s had a huge inhibiting effect. And I genuinely don’t think anybody voted in that referendum, whether they voted to remain or to leave, to make it harder for musicians and artists to be able to perform in other countries,” he said. “I absolutely understand the urgency and the need for this, and I’m absolutely determined that we will do whatever we can to make it easier.”
