The Tunisian interior ministry said on Monday the police arrested a man with apparent mental health issues after he stabbed and wounded three passengers on a tram in the capital.
Nationwide protests have taken place since October 7 despite the disbanding of the controversial Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) police unit.
The demonstrators have been accused of attacking police stations and personnel.
The rallies which are mostly attended by young people have become avenues to vent against corruption and unemployment.
Rights groups say at least 15 people have been killed the demonstrations began in early October.
People spend hours of their day cooped up indoors, often slumped in front of their television or laptop screens and under artificial lighting. This kind of lifestyle is not good for the body and mind. Spending time around nature is a simple but effective cure to many physical and mental health afflictions. However, with people …

By NQOBANI NDLOVU BULAWAYO’s Queens Park suburb has recorded diarrhoea cases as more suburbs register outbreaks of the disease which claimed 13 lives in Luveve in July and infected nearly 2 000 people. Water shortages, ageing water and sewer infrastructure have been blamed for the recurrent diarrhoea outbreaks in the city. Auditor-General, Midlred Chiri, in a report tabled in Parliament, recently warned that Bulawayo risked an outbreak of water-borne diseases resulting from failure to manage sewage reticulation systems. “The community health worker for Queens Park alerted the area environmental health officer over concerns that a number of people seemed to be suffering from diarrhoea in the area. The concern was investigated and confirmed,” a council health, housing and education report read in part. However, no deaths were recorded with the report, adding that people were avoiding council clinics because they do not want to undergo COVID-19 testing. “Indications were that the affected were not willing to visit health facilities for fear of being tested for COVID-19. They were assured that it was not standard procedure that everyone who came to the clinic was tested for COVID-19, therefore, they should be free to go to the clinic,” the report added. “The community health workers were advised to encourage all affected to visit the nearest clinic for treatment as diarrhoea treatment was currently free. The area environmental health officer continued to monitor the situation.” In her report, Chiri said persistent bursting of sewage pipes and failure by councils to attend to them could result in an outbreak of fatal diseases. “Due to failure by the urban local authorities to attend to blockages within the stipulated eight to 24 hours, raw sewage is lost into the environment before reaching the treatment plants thereby contaminating water bodies,” Chiri said. “The raw sewage flowing on the ground will mix with potable water thereby resulting in water-borne diseases. Furthermore, delays in the repair of sewer blockage/chokes will result in backflow of sewage increasing pressure on inlet pipes and joints or weaker points will give in to pressure thereby causing further blockages.”

By Associated Press Undefined WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the 2020 presidential campaign (all times local) 12:25 p.m. Melania Trump's return to the campaign trail will have to wait. Her chief of staff, Stephanie Grisham, said Tuesday that Mrs. Trump continues to feel better every day following her recent recovery from COVID-19 but has a lingering cough. Grisham says the first lady has decided not to accompany President Donald Trump to a campaign rally Tuesday evening in Erie, Pennsylvania, out of an abundance of caution. Mrs. Trump's last public appearance was during the Sept. 29 presidential debate in Ohio. […]

BY Garikai Mafirakureva CHIREDZI residents last week called on government to reduce military expenditure in the 2021 national budget and channel more resources towards social services. The residents were speaking during a 2021 national budget consultative meeting led by the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Budget, Finance and Economic Development chaired by Zaka North legislator Rabison Mavhenyengwa. Human rights monitor, Marko Shoko said Zimbabwe was not at war, hence the Finance ministry should channel more resources towards education, health as well as social welfare and stop burdening the country with unnecessary military expenditure. Patricia Zunga said morale in schools was low and the government should seriously look into the plight of teachers and pay them a salary commensurate with the work they do. She also said there was no need for government to continue to allocate huge amounts to the Defence ministry. “Government should consider allocating more money towards the construction of new schools in Chiredzi,” Zunga said. United Chiredzi Residents and Ratepayers Association programmes officer Constance Chikumbo said public hospitals were in a sorry state with no medicine, burdening the poor who could not afford to get treatment at private hospitals. “Immobility of police officers is making countless criminals unaccounted for because most police stations have no vehicles to track down reported cases,” Chikumbo said. “This is an impetus to spiralling cases of corruption by our police force which is now taking bribes in order to open an investigation. Our hospitals need to be stocked with medicine so the government should give more resources to the Health and Child Care ministry.” Other residents said more resources should be allocated to cater for people living with disabilities and other vulnerable members of the community.
By PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — Freshman DJ Uiagalelei already made Clemson history by leading the biggest comeback in the history of Death Valley. He'll get the chance to make even more next week with Trevor Lawrence ruled out for the showdown with No 4 Notre Dame due to COVID-19. Uiagalelei stepped in for Lawrence on Saturday and rallied the top-ranked Tigers to a 34-28 victory over Boston College after they fell behind by 18 points. Rattled at facing the Fighting Irish? The kid from California sure doesn't sound like it. 'It's the same mindset that […]

Suspected Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels freed more than 1,300 prisoners in an assault on a jail in Beni, eastern Democratic Republic Congo.
Only about 100 prisoners after the attack on Kagbayi prison on Tuesday morning.
The ADF are a Ugandan rebel group with bases in eastern Congo.
\"We had a count before the escape of 1,456 (prisoners), 110 (of them) stayed and I thank them for that. Some 20 (escapees) have already returned and I know that others are on their way back. We'll do a tally, and work out how many have come back\", said Modeste Bakwanamaha, the mayor of Beni.
Kagbayi prison is used to hold errant army soldiers and militiamen captured in fighting, including some from the ADF.
Jail breaks are common in Congo where conditions in detention facilities are said to be very bad.

ANTIOCH, Illinois (AP) — A visibly upset 17-year-old accused of fatally shooting two demonstrators in Wisconsin told officers at his local police station in Illinois where to find an assault rifle he said he had used just two hours earlier to shoot several people, according to police records. Kyle Rittenhouse cycled through a range of emotions, crying and vomiting several times, as he described to police what happened late on Aug. 25 after he traveled to Kenosha, ostensibly to protect businesses from protesters following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old Black man, the Antioch Police Department records show.

In the United States, Donald Trump and Joe Biden are attacking each other from a distance during their meetings three days before the presidential elections.
Donald Trump
Donald Trump does not slow down the pace of his meetings: three per day. He targets states where a victory would give him hope of staying in his post.
Thus, this Friday, he crisscrossed the Midwest. And during his stage in Rochester, Minnesota, he didn't spare his attacks against his opponent.
'Biden and the extreme left are inciting violence with their vile anti-police rhetoric and by saying that they are weak people, very weak people. They are allowing the rioters to ransack the streets that were financed by you,' he said.
This Saturday, Donald Trump is scheduled to travel to Pennsylvania, again a key state in the race for victory.
Joe Biden
The Democratic candidate was also in central Wisconsin on Friday, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This state, Hillary Clinton had neglected it 4 years ago, believing that it was acquired by the Democrats, and she had been beaten there by Donald Trump. So Joe Biden came to speak directly to this Democratic-conscious electorate.
'My friends, I'm going to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. And you know what, he won't be able to do anything because we are going to win this election.
You saw how weak and messy Donald Trump was. When he talks about his trade policy... but my God, it's been a disaster!' the Democratic candidate promised.
This Saturday, Joe Biden will be in Michigan, with a distinguished guest: former Democratic President Barack Obama.
Early Vote
More than 86 million voters have already cast their ballots. That's more than a third of the entire electorate.
