The legislators, known as Members of the European Parliament, can vote on a wide range of legislation laws relating to climate, banking rules, agriculture, fisheries, security and justice.

An Italian woman has become the country's oldest new mother at the age of 63, after giving birth to a healthy baby boy following fertility treatment in Ukraine. "She arranged everything independently and I was only informed afterward," he said about the new mother, whom he also described as 'a stubborn woman.'

However, Flavia is still not close in age to the current record holder, Indian woman Erramatti Mangamma, who gave birth to twin girls at the age of 73 in 2019.

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has been pushing for the one man, one vote, one Shilling revenue-sharing deal stating that it would favour the Mt Kenya region.
