UN investigators of violence in Mali have told the Security Council of evidence that security forces committed war crimes, while jihadists and other armed groups committed crimes against humanity.
 
The allegations are made in a massive 338-page report compiled by the International Inquiry Commission, a panel of three members who investigated events in Mali for six years after it erupted into conflict in 2012.
&#8220;The Commission has reasonable grounds to believe that the Malian defense and security forces committed war crimes, including violence against civilians and the lives of individuals and persons suspected of being affiliated or collaborating with extremist armed groups,&#8221; the AFP report said.

Two human traffickers were convicted on Monday of the murder of 39 Vietnamese men, women and children who were strangled to death in the back of a free-range truck in October last year as they tried to reach Britain.
 
The discovery of so many dead people &#8211; some as young as 15 &#8211; shocked Britain and Vietnam and shone a spotlight on the illegal global trade that sends the poor in Asia, Africa and the Middle East on dangerous journeys to the West.
As oxygen levels dropped at the back of the truck, some desperately tried to escape, but in vain. Others used cell phones to say goodbye to devastated relatives on the other side of the world.
&#8220;This is an unimaginably tragic case: 39 vulnerable people desperate for a new life are being driven to put their trust in a network of unscrupulous human traffickers,&#8221; said Russell Tyner, a prosecutor in the Department of Organized Crime.
&#8220;They died of oxygen deprivation and desperately tried to escape from the container. Some could express their last words to their families on their mobile phones when they knew their situation was hopeless.&#8221;
Eamonn Harrison, a 24-year-old truck driver from Northern Ireland, and Gheorghe Nica, 43, from Essex, were charged with 39 counts of murder and one count of conspiracy to assist in illegal immigration, following a 10-week trial at England&#8217;s Central Criminal Court in London. They will be convicted at a later date.
Two of the smuggling team had monitored two similar trips earlier that month.
&#8220;The men found guilty today made their money on misery,&#8221; said Ben Julian Harrington, chief of staff for the Essex police.
&#8216;Life must go on&#8217; 
Most of those who died were from the provinces of Nghe An and Ha Tinh in north-central Vietnam, where poor job prospects, environmental disasters and the promise of economic rewards abroad are driving up migration.
&#8220;I have never stopped thinking about my son since the tragedy and I still want a miracle to get him home with us,&#8221; said Nguyen Dinh Gia, father of Nguyen Dinh Luong, one of the victims.
&#8220;Now I do not really care if the smugglers will get a long sentence or not,&#8221; Gia told Reuters by phone from Ha Tinh.
&#8220;Life must go on and I hope there will be no such accidents with people seeking a better life,&#8221; Gia said.
In nearby Nghe An, Diep, brother Bui Thi Nhung&#8217;s brother said he no longer wanted to talk about the incident.
&#8220;It&#8217;s like opening the wound over and over again,&#8221; he said. British police released tributes from relatives of the dead, including the parents of football fan Nguyen Huy Hung, 15, and from the young son of victim Phan Thi Thanh, 41.
His poem &#8220;Beloved Mother&#8221; included the line: &#8220;For those people who still have a mother, please do not make her cry. Please love her and be kind. This is our mother, my friend.&#8221;

Madaxweynihii hore ee Soomaaliya Xasan Sheekh Maxamuud oo xalay ka qeyb galay barnaamij dood ah oo halku dhiggiisu yahay Diblomaasiyadda iyo doorashooyinka oo lagu falanqeynayay qaabka ay dowladda hadda jirta u maareyso siyaasadda arrimaha dibadda.
&#8220;2017 aniga xafiiska waxaa ka tagay anagoo dal aan cadow nahay oo nala diririsan aanu jirin, waxaan ka tagay dalalka muhiimka noo ah oo dhan anagoo cilaaqaad la leh oo safiiro dalkooda ka socda noo joogaan, safiirana anaga noo jiraan sidaas daraadeed waa dareemi kartaa maanta dalalka istiraatiijiga cilaaqadeed aan la leenahay waa Itoobiya iyo Eritrea, waana siyaasadda dowladeena waaye&#8221;ayuu yiri Xasan Sheekh.
Waxaa uu sheegay in aanay jirin dagaal weyn oo uga yimid dowladda Sacuudiga iyo Masar, sidaas darteed iyadoo dalalka is hayay ay wada joogeen, iskuna hayeen.
&#8220;Dagaal weyn oo Sacuudiga nooga yimid ama Masar nooga yimid ma jirin,   Masar iyo Itoobiya waa isku heysteen wabiga Nile waana joogeen labadooda cilaaqaad ayaa la laheyn, labadooda cilaaqaadka ma lumin Sacuudiga sidoo kale, Qatar iyo Imaaraad waligood cilaaqaadkooda boqolkiiba boqol ma aheyn, iskuma aanan heysan, waxay u baahan tahay inaan ku dhex milmin waxyaabaha qaarkood oo aan u muuqan in aan lakala safanahay&#8221;ayuu yiri Xasan Sheekh.
Waxaa uu sheegay in haatan aanay Soomaaliya safiiro u joogin Masar, Ururka Jaamacadda Carabta, Sacuudiga, Imaaraadka Carabta iyo kuwa kale, taasna wuxuu ku sababeeyay maareyn la&#8217;aanta dowladda ee dhinaca siyaasadda arrimaha dibadda.
Mar uu ka hadlayay arrinta Jubbaland ayuu xusay in xilligii dowladdiisa iyo Kenya ay ku kala aragti duwanaayeen, balse arrinta Jubbaland aysan kala heshiin Kenya oo ay reer Jubbaland kala heshiiyeen sida uu hadalka u dhigay.
&#8220;Kenya iyo anaga qadiyadaha ugu waa weyn ayaa na dhex yiilay, Kenya anaga Jubbaland waa ku kala aragti duwaneyn, laakiin Jubbaland anaga Kenya kalama heshiinin, waxaa kala heshiinay Jubbaland iyo dadka reer Jubbaland, Kenya iyo anaga qadiyada weyn oo la garanaaayo oo badda na dhex taalay, laakiin waligeen cilaaqaadkeena mana kala go&#8217;in, mana ciriirin,  waa in mar walba xasaasiyad la ilaaliya&#8221;ayuu yiri Xasan Sheekh.
Dowladda uu hoggaamiyo Madaxweyne Farmaajo ayaa lagu dhaliilaa inay lumisay cilaaqaadka wadamo dhowr ah oo muhiim u ahaa Soomaaliya, iyadoo dano gaar ah fiirsaneysay, inkastoo Soomaaliya mowqif dhex dhexaad ah ka qaadatay khilaafkii dalalka Khaliijka, haddana waxaa soo baxayay calaamado muujinayay inay u janjeerto Qatar.

France and its EU neighbors are encrypting to knock out a coordinated plan in response to a new strain of Covid-19 that has blocked trade and air travel to the UK and left hundreds of freight banks stranded outside the French border. France 24&#8217;s Herve Amoric submitted this report from Dover.
 
In the British port of Dover, hundreds of trucks are queuing almost still and can not leave after the EU on Sunday stopped trade and travel in the middle of the emergence of a new coronavirus strain. Concerns about the mutated strain have caused chaos for travelers, producers and freight companies for fear of major disruptions in supply chains just before Christmas.
For truck drivers stranded in Dover, there is little to do but wait. 
A seafood driver on his way to France said he could not board a ferry but managed to get his cargo delivered via a company in Calais.
&#8220;There is a lot of extra commitment from finding companies and getting details and making sure the store and customers are there to get shipping off,&#8221; said Damian Doherty, a truck driver from Ireland, FRANCE 24.
European leaders, meanwhile, are expected to meet on Tuesday to work out a way to lift border restrictions with Britain, which may include requiring coronavirus tests on arrival.
The 48-hour blockade will come just as companies struggle to move products before the UK leaves EU trade structures on 1 January.
Large supermarkets have warned of a potential shortage of food before the Christmas party if the ban is not lifted soon.
Still, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has assured the public that supply chains are &#8220;strong and robust&#8221; with delays affecting only a &#8220;small proportion of food entering the UK&#8221;.

Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny said on Monday that he had tricked a Russian secret agent into revealing details of the devastated plot to kill him and was told that poison had been placed in his underpants.
 
Navalny, one of President Vladimir Putin&#8217;s most outspoken critics, was flown to Germany for treatment in August after collapsing on a plane in Russia. Germany has said he was poisoned with a Soviet-style Novichok nerve agent in an attempt to assassinate him, a claim that many Western countries accept.
Navalny declared his case of poisoning solved earlier this month when a joint media investigation stated that a team of killers from Russia&#8217;s FSB security service had been identified.
In a video published on his website on Monday, Navalny said he had called some of his alleged poisoners before the joint investigation was released and posed as an assistant to Russia&#8217;s Security Council secretary.
One of the men, who was appointed by Navalny as an employee of Russia&#8217;s FSB security service, spoke to him for 49 minutes and appears to have been part of the decontamination team, he said. Navalny published a recording and transcript of the conversation.
Reuters could not independently verify the fact of the telephone call or the identity of Navalny&#8217;s interlocutor.
The Kremlin has repeatedly rejected all proposals that Russia tried to kill Navalny.
&#8220;The video with the phone call is false,&#8221; the FSB said, according to the state-run TASS news agency, calling Navalny&#8217;s investigation into his alleged poisoning a &#8220;planned provocation.&#8221;
In the video, Navalny can be heard asking for a voice on the phone. &#8220;Why did nothing work?&#8221;
&#8220;Well, I&#8217;ve asked myself this question more than once,&#8221; the voice replies.
When asked why Navalny survived, the voice says that it was probably because the plane he was on at the time made an unplanned emergency landing and he was treated professionally and quickly by Russian doctors.
&#8220;If it had gone a little further, it is possible that everything &#8230; would have ended differently,&#8221; says the voice.
Putin last week dismissed media reports of Navalny&#8217;s poisoning, saying they consisted of information from the US intelligence services and were an attempt to smear Putin himself and make Navalny appear more important than he really was.
Navalny is recovering in Germany, but has said he plans to return to Russia at an unknown date.

The United States surpassed 18 million reported Covid-19 cases on Monday, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University, as the virus rises across the country.
 
The United States has the world&#8217;s highest absolute number of cases and the most deaths related to the virus, according to the figures.
It had a total of 18,006,061 reported cases on Monday night and more than 319,000 deaths.
The country began administering vaccines a week ago and has approved vaccinations developed by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.
States and cities have imposed varying levels of restrictions in an effort to slow the spread of the virus, but outgoing President Donald Trump has repeatedly downplayed the seriousness and called for a resumption.
Trump&#8217;s behavior has come despite the fact that he himself has been in hospital with the virus.
Elected President Joe Biden, who defeated Trump in the Nov. 3 election, has been much more cautious and has called for masking and following rules for social distancing.
Earlier on Monday, Biden received a Covid-19 vaccine live on television in a campaign to increase Americans&#8217; confidence in jabs.

US Covid-19 cases exceed 18 million, according to Johns Hopkins University

The US House of Representatives approved a $ 892 billion coronavirus relief package on Monday aimed at throwing a lifeline to the country&#8217;s pandemic battered economy and clearing the way for Senate approval later tonight.
 
The House also approved in bipartisan votes a $ 1.4 trillion measure that will keep the U.S. government funded for another year, which will also go to the Senate for consideration.
The relief bill, which would become law if passed by the Senate and signed by President Donald Trump, includes $ 600 payments to most Americans as well as additional payments to the millions of people thrown out of work during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a major benefit will expire on Saturday.
The White House has said Trump will sign the bill.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, urged lawmakers to support the bill on viral assistance, although she complained that it did not include direct support to state and local authorities that Democrats had sought. She said they would try again next year after Democratic President Joe Biden takes office.
The bill, she said, &#8220;does not go all the way but it takes us down the road.&#8221;
Republican Rep. Hal Rogers, who supported the package, said &#8220;it reflects a fair compromise.&#8221;
Earlier, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican, told reporters at the Capitol that the introduction of legislation in the Senate &#8220;would probably be late, but we&#8217;ll end tonight.&#8221;
At 5,593 pages, the comprehensive bill is likely to be the last major piece of legislation for the 116th Congress, which expires on January 3.
It has a net cost of about $ 350 billion for coronavirus assistance, McConnell said, adding that more than $ 500 billion in funding comes from unused money that Congress had approved.
The stimulus package, the first congressional approval since April, comes as the pandemic accelerates in the United States, infecting more than 214,000 people every day and slowing economic recovery. More than 317,000 Americans have died.
The legislation also expands a small business loan program by about $ 284 billion and directs money to schools, airlines, transit systems and vaccine distribution.
The Small Business Loan and Grant Program, known as the Paycheck Protection Program, would exclude listed companies from eligibility.
Amid reports that the Trump organization has received past support, the bill calls for information for the president, vice president, cabinet heads, lawmakers and spouses and bans these individuals from getting loans in the future.
State and local governments, which are struggling to pay for the distribution of newly approved COVID-19 vaccines, would receive $ 8.75 billion from Washington, of which $ 300 million is for vaccinations in minority and high-risk populations.
Scrapped punctuation points 
The deal, which was drafted during a rare congressional weekend, omits the coolest points, which included Republicans &#8216;desire for a shield of responsibility to protect companies from coronavirus-related lawsuits and Democrats&#8217; demand for a large cash outlay -trapped state and local government.
McConnell, interviewed by Fox News, promised to renew his quest for protection against corporate lawsuits in whatever coronavirus relief bill the incoming Biden administration conducts in early 2021.
The measure is significantly less than the $ 3 trillion required in a bill that passed the Democratic-controlled House in May, which the Republican-controlled Senate ignored.
Biden has urged Congress to consider further incentives for him to log in when he takes office on January 20. &#8220;My message to everyone out there who is struggling right now, help is on the way,&#8221; he said in a statement.
The bill would be the second largest stimulus package in US history, behind the $ 2 trillion bill supported in March. Experts said that money played a crucial role because social distancing measures closed large sections of the economy.
