New Orleans residents in fear as immigration crackdown descends on their city
NEW ORLEANS — Two labourers stand on the roof of a house in Kenner, outside New Orleans, as US Border Patrol agents clamber up a ladder, getting closer.As the agents move in, trying to arrest them, the men step to the roof's edge, poised in an apparent act of resistance - but it's too high to jump.On the ground in the mostly Latino neighbourhood, an officer trains his weapon towards the rooftop while a sniper moves into position. Now, neighbours, activists, and crews of local press are gathering at the scene, watching in bewilderment: US President Trump's new front line on immigration enforcement has just arrived.It is day one of "Catahoula Crunch", as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has labelled its operation, taking its name from an American leopard dog known...

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, pictured in London in October, has been accused of deeply offensive, racist and antisemitic behavior throughout his teenage years at school
Racism allegations could derail right-wing populist Nigel Farage’s bid to become Britain’s next PM
LONDON — Andrew Field recalls how his school in south London used to hand out a little blue book listing all the students enrolled that year. He says one boy used to go through the book to count how many children had the common English surname Smith, and how many had the Indian surname Patel.“When there were more Patels than Smiths… he made a public ceremony of burning that school roll in protest,” Field told CNN.That former student — remembered by Field as a “pompous, isolated loner” who enjoyed “strutting about” in school uniform — grew up to become arguably the most influential politician in Britain this century: right-wing populist Nigel Farage. After leaving a career trading commodities in London’s financial district, Farage became a long-serving Member of the...

KINSHASA — The leaders of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda have signed a peace deal aimed at ending the long-running conflict in the region at a summit hosted by US President Donald Trump in Washington.Ahead of the summit, there was an escalation in fighting in resource-rich eastern DR Congo between government forces and rebels believed to be backed by Rwanda.DR Congo's army accused its rivals of attempting to "sabotage" the peace process, but the M23 rebels said the army had launched an offensive in breach of a ceasefire.At the start of the year, the M23 seized large parts of eastern DR Congo in an offensive that saw thousands killed and many more forced from their homes.At the beginning of the event at the newly-renamed Donald J Trump Institute of Peace, Trump said the...

Report: RSF forces detaining civilians for ransom after fall of al-Fashir
KHARTOUM — The paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and allied militias are detaining civilians and demanding ransoms from families unable to flee the Sudanese city of al-Fashir, with those unable to pay facing killings or severe assaults, according to testimonies gathered by Reuters from former captives, aid workers, and researchers.
