By JILL LAWLESS and RAF CASERT Associated Press LONDON (AP) — Britain's business minister said Friday that U.K.-EU trade talks are at a 'difficult' point, as British officials poured cold water on hopes of an imminent breakthrough — and France said it could veto any agreement it didn't like. U.K. Business Secretary Alok Sharma said Britain was 'committed to reaching an agreement.' 'But, of course, time is short and we are in a difficult phase. There's no denying that,' he told the BBC. 'There are a number of tricky issues that still have to be resolved.' EU chief negotiator Michel […]

A TREATMENT and support centre for survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) has been launched in Bindura First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa has called for a multi-sectoral response in the fight against GBV. BY PHYLLIS MBANJE Speaking during the launch of the treatment and support centre, Mnangagwa acknowledged that individual efforts would not yield much in the face of the rising social scourge. “Gender-based violence requires multi-sectoral stakeholders to respond with various services that complete the package for essential services,” the First Lady said, adding that GBV requires specialised services. Also known as a “one-stop centre” where services will be provided under one roof, the centre is located at Bindura General Hospital and was conveniently launched to coincide with the commemoration of 16 Days of Activism Against GBV. United Nations Population Fund Zimbabwe country representative, Esther Muia said violence against women and girls had increased since the beginning of March with the COVID-19 crisis creating a “shadow pandemic” of GBV. “As we are officially opening this one-stop centre, we are grateful to the European Union’s Spotlight Initiative for allowing us to expand access to services for survivors at our time of greatest need as a country,” she said. GBV remains a huge problem in the country with at least one in every three women aged 15 and 49 having experienced physical violence since the age of 15 while 27% of women aged between 15 and 49 have experienced sexual violence at some point in their lives. The European Union ambassador to Zimbabwe Timo Olkkonen said: “One-stop centres are essential assets in the fight against GBV because they ensure that survivors have access to all the necessary services in one location, provided by appropriately trained and sensitive personnel.” Olkonnen called on the government and other stakeholders to dedicate more resources to tackling this scourge. Women Affairs minister Sithembiso Nyoni said the one-stop centre model was one of the promising models for GBV response which had been implemented since 2009. The theme for this year’s commemorations of the 16 Days of Activism Against GBV is: End Gender Based Violence: Fund, Respond, Prevent and Collect.

Election materials on Thursday arrived at the Bangui M'poko International Airport in Central African Republic. The materials include ballot boxes, voting booths and voter cards for the first round in presidential and parliamentary elections on December 27.
Deputy Special Representative of the UN Secretary General, MINUSCA peacekeeping force, Denise Brown is satisfied with progress thus far.
\"We are extremely satisfied with the progress, in view of the electoral preparation. There was the mapping in May, June, then the implementation of the enumeration, then the arrival of the tablets, the training of tablet agents. The electoral list was compiled despite the Covid, despite the rainy season\", she said.
On Thursday, the Constitutional Court of the Central African Republic rejected ex-president Francois Bozize's candidacy in the elections. Bozize is being sought for alleged murder and torture and is under UN sanctions.
The court also rejected four other bids for the December 27 polls. This leaves 17 candidates, including incumbent president Faustin-Archange Touadera as contenders of the country’s top job. His chances look bright for a second term.
Bozize, 74, has played a major part in CAR's decades-long troubles, and some have feared he could try to stage a violent comeback. He seized power in 2003 before being overthrown a decade later by the Seleka, a rebel coalition drawn largely from the Muslim minority. The 2013 coup sparked brutal violence between the Seleka and so-called \"anti-Balaka\" self-defence forces, mainly Christian and animist.
By DANICA KIRKA Associated Press LONDON (AP) — U.K. regulators went on the offensive Friday to beat back criticism that they rushed their authorization of a COVID-19 vaccine, saying they rigorously analyzed data on safety and effectiveness in the shortest time possible without compromising the thoroughness of their review. The comments from the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency came as the Times newspaper reported that the agency's chief executive, Dr. June Raine, planned to give a series of radio interviews so she could speak directly to people who may be concerned about getting vaccinated. The MHRA reiterated earlier statements […]
