US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo refused to answer a question over whether or not the US State Department was standing in the way of a succesful transition by the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden.
On Tuesday, he told reporters that the \"transition\" to a second Trump term would be \"smooth,\" but later said the State Department was prepared for any eventuality.
A week after losing the US election, President Trump remained shut up in the White House on Tuesday, pushing an alternate reality that he is about to win and blocking Democrat Joe Biden's ability to prepare the transition.
The outgoing President has refused to concede to his opponent. President Trump has however mounted a string of flimsy court challenges in states where Biden won.
Several suits have been thrown out almost immediately and the remainder clearly have no chance of overturning Biden's slim but convincing victories in multiple states.
Donald Trump's attempt to hold on to power has become all consuming for a man who often makes a point of publicly mocking rivals as \"losers.\"
Since Election Day on November 3, he has made few public appearances and seems to have all but shelved normal presidential duties.

NNPA NEWSWIRE — Rep. Steven Horsford, a Democrat from Nevada, and Rep. Yvette Clarke of Brooklyn, NY, said that the government’s policy, which is very similar to that of the Trump administration, should be looked at again immediately. Even though Biden’s new program intends to speed up the asylum process, “the reality is that the administration’s actions have the potential to threaten the safety and humanity of migrants,” as Horsford put it.

Spain's Foreign Minister Arancha González Laya was in Senegal on Sunday as part of the Spanish government's diplomatic response to the steady built-up of migrant arrivals to the Canary Islands from West African countries.
González Laya met with Senegalese President Macky Sall to discuss migration and border cooperation between Spain, the European Union and Senegal.
The country has become a major point of migrant departures even though it is around 950 miles (1,500 kilometers) away.
More than 18,000 people fleeing poverty, violence or other circumstances at home have arrived in the islands this year, a 1,000% increase from the same period in 2019, and over 500 have died in the attempt.
Around half of those arrivals — and most of the deaths — have been in the past 30 days, a spike that has strained resources on the Canary Islands.
Laya and her Senegalese counterpart Aïssata Tall Sall signed an agreement regarding social security that would enable Spanish citizens in Senegal and Senegalese citizens in Spain to continue contributing to their nation's own social security despite being abroad.
The measure is intended to facilitate the voluntary return of Senegalese migrants in Spain.

But in Congolese society where sports betting is dominated by men, women here have to deal with preconceived ideas, and to some extent ridicule.

Reporting from Pointe Noire, Erika Jocia Macket noted that '' In these times of health crisis, sports betting has become a real activity for the benefit of all social classes. While some women take responsibility for themselves, others prefer to bet in secret away from prejudices.''
