Trump ambushes South African president in Oval Office with claims of ‘white persecution’ | BBC News

Published

on



US President Donald Trump has confronted South Africa Leader Cyril Ramaphosa with a video over discredited claims of a “white genocide” in South Africa.

The footage, shown during a news conference, purported to show the gravesites of murdered farmers. The US president said the video supported his claim that white farmers were being “persecuted” in the country, but did not say where it was filmed.

Ramaphosa – who appeared to weigh up carefully how to respond – disputed Trump’s allegation. He said black people were far more likely to be victims of violence in South Africa than white people.

UK and US tight-lipped after American war planes depart second British airbase | BBC News

Published

on



More than a dozen US Air Force aircraft have left a second airbase in Britain weeks after the US withdrew its bombers from RAF Fairford over a suspected Iran-linked security incident.

The latest plane to leave, a Boeing Stratotanker KC-135 refuelling aircraft, flew from RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk on Tuesday afternoon and headed towards Germany.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the departures have been in response to a further threat from Iran but the BBC has not independently verified that claim.

Downing Street has insisted British air bases are safe and that their security is a “top priority”.
