 U.S announces visa curbs for some foreign nationals in South Africa Secretary of State Marco Rubio ‌said on Tuesday the U.S. government was announcing a new visa restriction ​policy targeting some foreign nationals ​in South Africa. The policy targets "foreign ⁠nationals who are responsible for, ​or complicit in, the enactment or ​implementation of laws or policies that enable uncompensated land seizures, race-based discrimination, and/or ​the incitement of imminent violence ​against members of minority ethnic or racial ‌groups ⁠in South Africa," Rubio said in a statement. "The South African government has not adequately addressed the ​previously laid ​out ⁠concerns," Rubio said, Reuters reported. Relations between Washington and Pretoria have ​soured since the start of ​Donald ⁠Trump's second term, with the U.S. president criticizing the country ⁠for ​its policies aimed at ​addressing racial inequality.

 Sri Lanka’s former president Wickremesinghe hospitalised following arrest, media reports

Sri Lanka’s former president, Ranil Wickremesinghe, was hospitalised on Saturday, local media reported, a day after his arrest over allegations of misusing public funds during his time in office.

The 76-year-old, who led the country through a severe economic crisis, was taken into custody on Friday. He was admitted to the emergency care unit at Colombo National Hospital the following day with complications related to dehydration, diabetes, and high blood pressure, hospital director Dr. Rukshan Bellana said. Wickremesinghe was later moved to the intensive care unit, where his condition was reported as stable.

Requests for comment from Wickremesinghe’s office and the hospital were not immediately answered. The former president, a six-time prime minister who lost the presidency last year, had been under investigation for a trip to Britain to attend a graduation lunch celebrating his wife’s honorary professorship, local media reported. An ally from his United National Party called the case politically motivated and maintained Wickremesinghe’s innocence.
