 UN peacekeeping mission in DR Congo extended by one year as fighting rages The UN Security Council has extended the UN peacekeeping mission in DR Congo, known as MONUSCO, for a year, as fighting in the region escalated despite a US-mediated peace deal. The UN’s most powerful body renewed the peacekeepers' mandate, keeping about 11,500 military personnel in the country, in a unanimously adopted resolution. The Security Council also condemned an offensive by the M23 rebels, demanded Rwanda stop supporting the rebels and withdraw its troops. The resolution comes as M23 claimed Wednesday to have withdrawn from Uvira, a strategic city in eastern Congo it seized last week, after pressure from the US. DR Congo's government said the withdrawal was “staged” and that the rebels were still in the city.

 Anthony Joshua knocks out Jake Paul in six-round controversial bout


Former world heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua knocked out YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in their controversial Netflix-backed bout in Miami on Friday.


The fight at the Kaseya Center, which saw both men reportedly splitting a mammoth purse of $184 million, had triggered alarm across boxing due to the gulf in physical size and class between Britain’s two-time former world champion Joshua and Paul, an internet personality who has forged a lucrative career through a handful of novelty boxing contests.


In the event, however, Joshua made hard work of defeating his vastly less accomplished opponent, before his superior size and power eventually told in the later stages of the eight-round fight, with a sixth-round knockout. A lackluster contest descended into farce at times, with Paul repeatedly dropping to the canvas and grappling with Joshua’s legs.


At one stage, even referee Christopher Young appeared to be losing patience, warning the fighters in the fourth round: “The fans did not pay to see this crap.” As Paul tired, the 6ft 6in (1.85m) tall Joshua began to land punches with more regularity, and after knocking down the 6ft 1in American twice in the fifth round, the end came swiftly in the sixth.
