Uganda bus crash leaves more than 40 dead | BBC News
Forty-six people have been killed after several vehicles crashed on a major highway in Uganda, the police say.
The police revised down an earlier death toll of 63, saying they had mistakenly included victims who were unconscious and were now being treated.
The crash occurred when two buses travelling in opposite directions “met head on” while trying to overtake two other vehicles – a lorry and a car – on the Kampala-Gulu Highway, the Uganda Police Force said.
One of the buses swerved in an attempt to avoid a crash, but in the process caused a “head on and side collision” that led to a “chain reaction” in which other vehicles lost control and overturned.

The US has launched dozens of strikes on Iran, after President Donald Trump declared their ceasefire over, and called Tehran’s leadership “scum”. Iran vowed to respond “fearlessly” to Mr Trump’s “vulgarity”, and has targeted US military sites across the Gulf region.
Washington says this flare-up in violence began when Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) fired on commercial ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz via a route not approved by Tehran.
We ask Parham Ghobadi of the BBC’s Persian service why Iran’s leaders were willing to jeopardise the ceasefire, and what their strategy is now, amid increasing fears of a return to all-out war.
Plus, we look at the week-long funeral ceremonies for the late supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, during which some Iranian officials called for Mr Trump to be killed.

Hundreds of firefighters in Spain are still battling to contain pockets of flames in the south east after one of the country’s worst-ever wildfires.
Emergency services have been deployed around the village of Bedar where 12 people have been killed – among them four Britons, according to Spanish authorities. Another 23 people are still missing.
Local officials in the Los Gallardos area of Almería have warned the number of dead could rise, with fears that more Britons are among those killed.
A sustained heatwave with temperatures of around 40C (104F) has caused wildfires across Southern Europe this summer, particularly in France, Portugal and Spain.

Citizen Vigilante is a low-budget action thriller starring actor Armie Hammer as a vigilante who hunts down migrant criminals in Europe.
The movie faced a muted reception – until Elon Musk posted it to his hundreds of millions of followers on X.com.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk publicly criticised Lupita Nyong’o over her casting as Helen of Troy in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film, The Odyssey.
We speak to journalist Mike Wendling to understand why this film has become a lightning rod for political and cultural debate, and what its sudden rise reveals about the far-reaching influence of the world’s richest man.

The Free Republic of Liberland wants to be a truly libertarian, digital micronation that runs on the same technology as cryptocurrencies.
The unrecognised micronation is bankrolled by some of the wealthiest men in crypto and it runs on an idea they are trying to export – that government itself can be replaced with blockchain technologies.
Citizens vote on laws and referendums using digital tokens, and the voting itself is automatically tallied and enforced by code, rather than counted by officials.
However, the technology is still in an early phase, and human officials are still required to implement laws.
