A new U.N. report estimates that the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the number of international migrants by 2 million by the middle of 2020 because of border closings and a halt to travel worldwide — an estimated 27% decrease in expected growth. Clare Menozzi, principal author of the report by the U.N. Department of Economic and Social Affairs’ Population Division, told a news conference Friday that for the second half of 2020 “we have a sense that it will be probably comparable, if not more so.” Over the last two decades, growth in the number of international migrants has been robust.
Armed government-deployed forces in Uganda surrounded the home of opposition candidate Bobi Wine on Friday, as the disputed vote count continues in the country's presidential election. Wine showed Reuters around his compound in the capital Kampala, where several armed men were seen through a fence communicating via radios. Wine, who is challenging incumbent and long-time leader Yoweri Museveni, claims there's been widespread election fraud - and said on Friday he was now under siege. "I thought I should inform the world that our lives are in danger and should anything happen to us, at least we have had the opportunity while still alive to expose everything that is being plotted on our lives." A government spokesperson denied that Wine was under house arrest, saying security had been deployed in his neighbourhood for his own protection. Museveni, who has led Uganda for over three decades, took a commanding lead in the election on Friday. But Wine claimed at a news conference on Friday that he had won the vote, and had video proof of voting fraud. His claims have not been independently verified by Reuters. The United States and European Union did not deploy observers for this election, though the African Union and East African Community both did. But neither team has responded to request for comment about possible irregularities. This election campaign has been marred by deadly crackdowns by security forces on opposition candidates and their supporters, including the arrest of Wine and others on multiple occasions. Museveni's government had ordered an internet blackout until further notice ahead of the vote, and banned all social media and messaging apps. Museveni said that was in retaliation for Facebook taking down some pro-government accounts. And on Thursday, election commission chairman Simon Byabakama told Ugandans results were arriving at the national tallying centre despite the blackout, and that they were using their own system to transmit results, without giving details. Byabakama told a news conference that under Ugandan law, the burden of proof now rests with Wine to prove the results are rigged.

It’s very sad.”Shire President Denese Smythe told local news that the fire was at a hobby farm just off the Great Southern Highway and that one home had been destroyed.The DFES downgraded the emergency warning to a ‘watch and act’ order later that day, as local news reported that the fire was contained but not yet controlled.

The Hong Kong government said it "strongly" objects to a U.S. congressional report critical of Beijing's handling of the city, calling the report "biased, politically motivated and not reflecting the truth". The annual report from the bipartisan Congressional-Executive Commission on China this week said that the "one country, two systems" framework in Hong Kong has been "dismantled", severely undermining the rule of law and respect for human rights that the city has long enjoyed. The report says a national security law that Beijing imposed over the summer on the former British colony directly threatens Hong Kong residents' right to due process and their freedoms of expression and association.
Long-time leader Yoweri Museveni held a commanding lead in Uganda's presidential election according to partial results on Saturday morning, with final results expected later in the day, although his main rival Bobi Wine alleged widespread fraud. With ballots from 86% of polling stations counted following Thursday's election, Museveni had won 5.3 million, or 58.8%, while main opposition candidate Wine had 3.1 million votes (34.6%), the Electoral Commission said just after 9 a.m. (0600 GMT). Wine, 38, had galvanised young Ugandans with his calls for political change after 35 years of Museveni, 76, ruling the country.
Seventeen Premier League games into last season Manchester United were 24 points adrift of arch-rivals Liverpool but seemingly light years away from a title challenge. Remarkably, especially considering the way United began this campaign, they travel to Anfield leading Juergen Klopp's side at the top of the table by three points. It is the first time since Alex Ferguson's last season in charge in 2013 that the 20-time English champions have topped the table after New Year's Day.
