 New UK Prime Minister not the leader Britain needs — Kemi Badenoch UK Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, has congratulated Andy Burnham on becoming Britain’s new prime minister but said while he is “a nice man,” the country needs a leader capable of making difficult decisions rather than “a people pleaser.” In a statement released on Monday on X following Burnham’s assumption of office, Badenoch wished the new prime minister success but vowed to hold his government accountable as Leader of the Opposition. “Today, Britain has a new Prime Minister. I wish Andy Burnham every success. Because we need a Prime Minister and a Government focused on fixing the public’s priorities,” she said. Badenoch said her role was “to hold the Prime Minister to account, not to be his cheer leader.” “My job as Leader of the Opposition, is to hold the Prime Minister to account, not to be his cheer leader.

 Mali's leader says situation 'under control' in first speech since terrorist attacks


Mali's leader insisted the situation in his country was "under control" as he made his first public address since the terrorist attacks over the weekend.


Terrorists and Tuareg-led separatists are still positioned in the Sahelian country's north, three days after launching a wave of attacks, in what President Assimi Goita acknowledged was a situation "of extreme gravity".


Goita had made no public appearance or statement for three days, but on Tuesday evening he made a speech to the nation on state TV, AFP reported.


"As I am speaking to you, security arrangements have been reinforced. The situation is under control and clearing operations, search efforts, intelligence gathering and security measures are continuing," he said.


He urged the population to "stand up against division and national fracture", saying the West African country needed "clarity, not panic".


Earlier on Tuesday, his office released photos of him meeting wounded soldiers and civilians, as well as the ambassador of key ally Russia.


The photos were the first of Goita since the dawn offensive on Saturday, including in areas around Bamako.


At least 23 people were killed in two days of fierce fighting, a hospital source told AFP on Tuesday. Defence Minister Sadio Camara was among those killed.


The clashes pitted the army against Tuareg-led separatists and their allies from the JNIM terrorist organisation.


At his meeting with Goita, Russian ambassador Igor Gromyko "reaffirmed his country's commitment to stand with Mali in the fight against terrorism", according to the Malian leader's office.


The weekend attacks recall a crisis that rocked Mali in 2012, when Tuareg-led separatists joined forces with terrorists to capture strategic hubs in the north.
