 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.

 Kenyan police open fire at protest against reported abductions, witnesses say


Kenyan police opened ‌fire at a protest in Nairobi against reported abductions on Tuesday, killing at least one person, two witnesses told Reuters.


The protest in ​the Mathare neighbourhood was triggered by the reported ​abduction of a businessman this month and came ⁠amid mounting concern over kidnappings of critics and crackdowns ​during protests in Kenya.


Adel Nduba, a resident of Mathare, said the protest was called ‌because ⁠his brother had not been seen since he was arrested a week ago.


Two years ago, at least 60 people were killed in a crackdown by security forces according to ​the Kenya ​National Commission ⁠on Human Rights after protesters breached parliament grounds during a rally against proposed tax hikes.


Kenya's ​President William Ruto has acknowledged "instances of excessive ​and ⁠extrajudicial actions by members of the security services". He said earlier this month that 2 billion Kenyan shillings ($15.5 million) had ⁠been ​set aside for victims of protest-related ​abuses.
