Uganda approves tough new anti-gay law – BBC News
A new anti-gay law, one of the harshest laws of its kind in the world, has been singed into law in Uganda.
President Yoweri Museveni signed the Anti-Homosexuality Bill into law after parliament watered it down.
The new law calls for life in prison for those who are convicted under the act and in some circumstances, people could face the death penalty.
The law has received international condemnation, with the US President Joe Biden calling Uganda’s new law “shameful” and a “tragic violation of universal human rights”.

37 people have been killed after a huge explosion at an arms depot in Ukraine which was struck by a Russian drone. The ams storage facility was based near a residential areas on the outskirts of the capital, Kyiv. Hundreds of people have been evacuated from the area and a rescue operation is continuing, with fears that the death toll will rise.
Shells, mines and drones stored at the facility exploded in a massive blast that destroyed nearby homes nearby, including a care home for the elderly and disabled.
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky strongly criticised the location of the depot near people’s homes, saying an investigation had been launched into “terrible negligence on the part of those who stored explosive right next to people”.
Russia’s Ministry of Defence said that its forces had targeted “an ammunition depot”.

Hawk Fire wildfire in Nevada expected to rage for another two days, say officials | BBC News
US fire crews have reported progress in their efforts to tackle a large wildfire menacing the city of Reno, Nevada – saying the blaze is about a quarter contained.
The Hawk Fire, which began on Saturday, had spread over 15,000 acres by Monday, firefighters said.
Evacuation orders remain in place for 23,000 people, though other residents have now been allowed to return to their homes. Tens of thousands of other residents have been told to be ready to leave at any moment.
Officials are concerned that gusts of wind could drive the flames towards more homes. Unfavourable weather conditions are forecast for the next two days, meaning the fire could continue to burn during that timeframe.

Today, we discuss China’s £14.7bn investment into AI and robotics in the hopes of overtaking the US as the world leader in innovation.
China has two million robots already working in factories, and is investing heavily in the hopes that one day they could bridge gaps in an already sluggish economy. What can these robots do? And what does the future look like for workers? Our China correspondent Laura Bicker has been to some of these factories, and is on the line to debrief.
Plus, the government has announced more details about their housing plans, including where 70,000 social and affordable homes will be built in England over the next 10 years. 60% of the new homes would be for social rent, despite Andy Burnham telling The Social Housing Podcast in May he “would actually devote all of it to social housing.”.
Is Andy Burnham delivery what he promised? Adam is joined by Alex and housing correspondent Tarah Welsh.

Ugandans are simply following the religion and values the White man left for them. Now the White man has updated himself due to "age of reason" but the Ugandan could not update.

The United States of America and other Western countries should stay out of Africa's affbirds. They have every ride to do what they want to do because there's their country in the United States and other Western countries. Do not have any say so overwhelmed. My homeland Africa don't choose to do what is citizens? The united states and other western countries stay out of africa's affairs you've been warned

To all the LGBT communities around the world with their families, and close friends: DON'T TRAVEL AND TOURIST IN UGANDA. You'll be arrested and/or killed. Uganda is worthless, so spend your tourist money & vacation in gay-friendly countries, or else you'll have wasted your vacation time & money

The supporters of this law, just like the legislators, rely too much on negative emotion but with no knowledge of gay people.Put emotion aside and ascertain the facts!
