KENYA  –   Kenyan authorities are investigating if pupils who set fire to their school dormitories did so after being told they could not watch a Euro 2016 match on television.

The trouble happened last weekend at a school in the west of the country, local media reports. It began with a few students throwing stones and shouting “our rights”, school principal Andrew Otara said. It is the latest in a spate of arson incidents at Kenyan schools. The pupils at Itierio Boys Secondary School in Kisii were not allowed to stay up to watch the Euro 2016 match between Croatia and Portugal, KTN television news reports. There were also complaints that the school had introduced new stricter discipline rules but the school has denied this.(BBC.COM/photo: www.thecitizen.co.tz)…[+]

George Will is no longer a Republican — and it’s all Donald Trump’s fault, the famed conservative columnist said Sunday. “I left it for the same reason I joined it in 1964 when I voted for Barry Goldwater. I joined it because I was a conservative. But I leave for the same reason, that I’m a conservative,” Will told Fox News Sunday. Will chalked up his departure to Trump’s ascension — along with the Republican party’s embrace of its presidential candidate.(nypost.com)…[+]

WASHINGTON — Hillary Clinton campaign unloaded on Donald Trump Sunday, with a new ad claiming the presumptive GOP nominee wants to profit from Brexit — to the detriment of Average Joes.

The former secretary of state jumped on the Republican’s own words when Trump said his Turnberry Resort in Scotland will profit handsomely in light of the British pound’s descent, following Brexit. The tough ad uses Trump’s words from Friday when he visited Scotland: “When the pound goes down, more people are coming to Turnberry.” The Dow Jones Industrial index fell 610 points on Friday following the UK’s stunning vote to leave the EU.(nypost.com)…[+]

As global markets reel after an establishment-rattling vote by Britain to sever ties with Europe, investors are again expecting central banks to ride to the rescue.

And that may be the problem. Or so believe a number of investors and economists who worry that another round of central bank intervention in the markets will compound the sense of alienation, frustration and anger at global elites that encouraged a majority of Britons to opt for leaving the European Union. Traditionally, market participants have tended to cheer central bank activism.(nytimes.com)…[+]

EGYPT –  What sent EgyptAir flight 804 plummeting into the Mediterranean Sea last month, remains a mystery.

Egyptian investigators have failed to extract any information from the badly-damaged memory chips of the crucial black boxes. Defeated, Egypt is now sending both the cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder to the BEA in France in an effort to help download the data. The BEA — the French version of the NTSB — are considered some the best in the world at analyzing this type of equipment. In a statement released on Thursday, EgyptAir said the French will “carry out repair and removal of salt accumulations.”(CNN.COM/photo: www.todayonline.com)…[+]

USA –  In a crushing blow to the White House, the Supreme Court announced Thursday it was evenly divided in a case concerning President Barack Obama’s controversial executive actions on immigration.

The one-sentence ruling, issued without comment or dissent, means that the programs will remain blocked from going into effect, and the issue will return to the lower court. It is exceedingly unlikely the programs will go into effect for the remainder of the Obama presidency. Obama, speaking at the White House, lamented the ruling. “For more than two decades now our immigration system, everybody acknowledges, has been broken,” Obama said. “(CNN.COM/photo: www.japantimes.co.jp)…[+]

CAMEROON –  Men who commit adultery could be sent to jail under a new law being debated by parliament in Cameroon.

The law has the backing of President’s Paul Biya’s party and so might be approved. Women already face being jailed for between two to six months for having sexual relations outside marriage and men would face the same punishment.  Bar Association head Ngnie Kamga said the law would “take Cameroon backwards and would send more people to prisons”.(BBC.COM/photo: AFP)…[+]
