The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .England earn goalless draw against Emma Hayes’ United States in Wembley friendlyPakistan's security forces have launched a sweeping midnight raid on supporters of jailed former prime minister Imran Khan who had stormed the capital demanding his release,, with hundreds arrested amidst chaotic scenes. Thousands of protesters had earlier gathered on Tuesday in the centre of Islamabad after a convoy, led by Khan's wife, broke through several lines of security all the way to the edge of the city's highly fortified red zone. The red zone, guarded by army soldiers, houses the country's most important offices and buildings, including the parliament and an enclave of foreign missions. At least six people, including four paramilitary soldiers, were killed before the Tuesday night raid was launched. Local broadcasters Geo News and ARY both reported that a massive raid was launched by security forces amidst a pitch-dark central Islamabad, where lights had been turned off and a barrage of teargas was fired. The protest gathering was almost completely dispersed, they reported. Khan's party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), said they planned on staging a sit-in in the red zone until the release of Khan, who has been in jail since August last year. One of the protesters was shot dead and the other was run over by a vehicle, Bukhari said. Authorities did not respond to a query seeking to confirm the deaths and Reuters could not independently verify the information. "It is not a peaceful protest. It is extremism," Sharif said in a statement, aimed at achieving "evil political designs". Sharif said the violence was driving the law enforcement agencies to the "limits of restraint". Amnesty International said the government must fully protect the rights of protesters and immediately rescind "shoot-on-sight" orders that it said gave undue and excessive powers to the military. Earlier, in a post on X from jail, Khan, 72, said his message to his supporters was to fight till the end. "We will not back down until our demands are met," he said, accusing security forces of firing on peaceful party workers. The violence erupted at the end of a march led by Khan's wife Bushra Bibi and his key aide Ali Amin Gandapur that arrived in Islamabad early on Tuesday. Reuters reporters saw some of the marchers ransack vehicles and set a police kiosk on fire. They also attacked and wounded journalists at two separate locations, people from two media houses told Reuters. The protest march, which Khan has described as the "final call", is one of many his party has held to seek his release since he was jailed in August last year. PTI supporters last marched on Islamabad in October, sparking days of clashes with police in which one officer was killed, but this week's protest is bigger in size and more violent, authorities said. They said the protesters were now armed with tear gas launchers, steel rods, slingshots and sticks and were setting fire to trees and grass as they marched. Reuters witnesses heard firing around the protests, although it was not clear who was responsible. Voted out of power by parliament in 2022 after he fell out with Pakistan's powerful military, Khan faces charges ranging from corruption to instigation of violence, all of which he and his party deny. Candidates backed by Khan's party won the most seats in a parliamentary election in February, but a coalition cobbled together and led by Sharif took power. Khan and the PTI say the polls were rigged following a military-backed crackdown to keep him out of power. The army has denied charges of election manipulation.
Over 100 expats with AIDS deported from KuwaitLAGOS – The African Action Congress (AAC), Abia State chapter, has called for financial transparency over the Ofali Agwu Digital Smart School, facilitated by Chief Ibe Okwara Osonwa, the Member representing Arochukwu/Ohafia Federal Constituency. The party said it was compelled to address issues relating to the commissioning of the Smart School on November 28, 2024, in view of the limited resources allocated to the project. It noted that Governor Alex Otti commissioned the Digital Smart School, when as a constituency project, the Digital Smart School lacked basic ICT gadgets. AAC said: “While we acknowledge the government’s efforts to enhance educational infrastructure, we find it necessary to seek transparency regarding the financial aspects of this project, particularly given the limited resources allocated to it.” Comrade Ezumaibe Kelechiukwu, AAC’s State Chairman, in a statement made available to Sunday Independent, expressed surprise that a Smart School was commissioned with only one smart television. The party lamented that there was no Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and other required gadgets, a development which, it stressed, raised significant concerns about the true cost of the initiative. The AAC stated: “We demand a comprehensive breakdown of the expenses involved in the establishment of this facility. “It is crucial for the public to understand how public funds are being utilised, especially in the education sector, which directly impacts the future of our children.” The party urged the relevant authorities to provide clarity on the total cost of the Smart School project, the justification for the allocation of resources, particularly the decision to equip the school with only one smart television with no other ICT gadgets. It also asked for plans to ensure that the educational needs of the state’s students are adequately met through this initiative. It stated: “The citizens of Abia State deserve accountability and transparency from their government. “We call on all media houses to support this demand for clarity and to hold the authorities accountable for the educational welfare of our youth. “We look forward to a prompt response and will continue to advocate for the interests of the people of Abia State.”Munster end URC losing run with victory over Lions
