Gambia's truth commission recommends prosecutions for Jammeh-era crimes

By Pap Saine and Edward McAllister BANJUL (Reuters) - Gambia s Truth, Reconciliation, and Reparations Commission (TRRC) wrapped up a sweeping three-year public inquiry on Thursday by recommending prosecutions for abuses committed during former President Yahya Jammeh s rule. The commission delivered its full report to President Adama Barrow, nine days before a presidential election in which the exiled Jammeh has urged his supporters to vote for an opposition coalition. Nearly 400 witnesses testified before the TRRC, including the victims and perpetrators of the torture, killings and looting that characterised Jammeh s 22-year rule. To forgive and forget with impunity the violations and abuses . would not only undermine reconciliation but would also constitute a massive and egregious cover-up of the crimes committed, the commission said in a statement. At a news conference, commission chairman Lamin Sise declined to comment on who specifically should be targeted for prosecution. Barrow o ....

Israeli foreign minister distances government from blacklisted NSO Group

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel s Foreign Minister Yair Lapid on Saturday distanced the government from the NSO Group, a firm blacklisted this week by the United States over alleged misuse of its phone hacking spyware. An investigation by 17 media organisations published in July said NSO s Pegasus software had targeted smartphones of journalists, rights activists and government officials in several countries. The company sends its products abroad under licences from Israel s Defence Ministry, which has launched its own probe of the company s practices after the alleged software misuse emerged. No results have been announced and Israel has given no indication so far that it was considering limiting the scope of NSO s exports. NSO is a private company, it is not a governmental project and therefore even if it is designated, it has nothing to do with the policies of the Israeli government, Lapid told a news conference in Jerusalem. I don t think there is another country in the world which ha ....

EU warns Britain: Don't press the emergency Brexit button

By Guy Faulconbridge and Gabriela Baczynska LONDON/BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The European Union said on Friday that Britain had made no move to seek a compromise on post-Brexit trade with Northern Ireland and cautioned London against triggering emergency unilateral provisions in the Brexit deal. Prime Minister Boris Johnson s Brexit negotiator David Frost ruled out immediately triggering such provisions, a move that would sour ties with the EU, concern the United States and anger Ireland. But Frost made clear he wanted Brussels to offer more. Maros Sefcovic, a deputy head of the bloc s executive European Commission, said the EU had seen no move at all from the UK side. We hear a lot about Article 16 at the moment, Sefcovic said after talks with Frost. Let there be no doubt that triggering Article 16 to seek the renegotiation of the Protocol would have serious consequences. Britain has repeatedly warned that it may trigger emergency measures called Article 16 which allows either side to take ....

Pfizer says antiviral pill cuts risk of severe COVID-19 by 89%

By Deena Beasley (Reuters) -A trial of Pfizer Inc s experimental antiviral pill for COVID-19 was stopped early after the drug was shown to cut by 89% the chances of hospitalization or death for adults at risk of developing severe disease, the company said on Friday. The results appear to surpass those seen with Merck & Co Inc s pill, molnupiravir, which was shown last month to halve the likelihood of dying or being hospitalized for COVID-19 patients also at high risk of serious illness. Full trial data is not yet available from either company. Pfizer shares surged 13% to $49.47, while those of Merck fell 6% to $84.69. Pfizer said it plans to submit interim trial results for its pill, which is given in combination with an older antiviral called ritonavir, to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as part of the emergency use application it opened in October. The combination treatment, which will have the brand name Paxlovid, consists of three pills given twice daily. The planned analysis ....
