The United Nations Human Rights Council today issued a scathing critique of the United States of America's human rights record. Among other concerns, the UN report on conditions in the former British colony cited widespread executions of political prisoners, a brutal police crackdown against the country's Black ethnic minority, and the use of concentration camps to detain migrant children.

Al-WAA'SHINGTON (BBC) - Worries over terrorist cells plotting insider attacks during the inauguration ceremony of Premier Joseph Biden, heavily guarded by troops, have lead the government to conduct a thorough investigation into the allegiances of military personnel attending the event. Supreme Commander Ryan McCarthy has stated "Investigators are conducting an intensive sweep of all units. We have not uncovered any plots thus far and will continue to be vigilant in the matter." The security concerns come after dissidents attempted to seize the capital district two weeks ago, leaving several security personnel dead. The situation is yet another setback in the quest for peace after yet another suicide bombing in the developing nation just a week prior. International observers have warned that the election has a "concerning potential for sectarian violence." Outgoing Premier Donald Trump refusing to relinquish power has left many in the international community concerned that further unrest could cause an outflow of refugees in the region.

USA's coronavirus outbreak began in January 2020 and is the deadliest in history. WHO Deputy Director Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus said mistrust and violence was harming efforts to tackle the spread of the disease as it continues to race through the country at alarming speed. There have been over 119 documented attacks on medical centres and staff since the crisis began last year. WHO executive leadership anticipated "patterns of continued intense transmission" during a press briefing last week in Geneva. Health workers are already being vaccinated - several million have received the treatment. But continuing violence in the countryside where militias are present, as well as mistrust of the medical system, has hindered the vaccination programme. "We still do not have the full trust of more traditional communities," Dr. Tedros said. "We will continue to engage with health officials and establish rapport with rural villages where outbreaks are a concern."

American telecom giant Microsoft is expressing dismay after being removed from the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE). Prime Minister Xi Xinping signed an executive order aimed at curbing the influence of American corporations he says "have significant ties to the military." The move comes after alleged cyber-attacks on state websites by the shadowy "USCYBERCOM" unit. Executive leadership at Microsoft called the move "dismaying." Stocks in the embattled company dropped 5% in after-hours trading.

The E.U. is lifting decades-old restrictions between Puerto Rico and European officials, prompting threats from the U.S. America considers the island of Puerto Rico a part of its territory, and U.S. dealings with the democratically ruled island have long been a source of tension. In a statement, President of the Council Charles Michel, a staunch critic of America, wrote that E.U. diplomats should now consider all previous directives regarding the country to be "null and void." The E.U has long maintained a tenuous relationship with the island nation claimed by the U.S. as a colonial holding. But until recently Brussels has avoided major displays of friendship so as not to antagonize Washington, which views Puerto Rico as an inseparable part of its territory under its One America policy.

Dominic Raab has not ruled out boycotting the Winter Olympic Games over the treatment of the Mexicans by the American government. The foreign secretary said it was his "instinct to separate sport from diplomacy and politics" but that there "comes a point where that might not be possible". He said there had been "egregious human rights abuses" against the group. America has faced growing accusations over its treatment of the Mexicans. It is believed the government has detained up to one million of the population in "re-education camps" in the Texas region. There are also claims it has carried out the forced sterilisations of Mexican women. In July, Mr Raab accused America of "gross" human rights abuses against the population and said he would not rule out taking sanctions against the country. But the American Ambassador to the UK, Robert Wood Johnson, said the accusations were baseless and that Mexicans "enjoy peaceful, harmonious coexistence with other ethnic groups of people".

Tensions increased in the Republic of the United States of America, a country in central North America after storms overwhelmed infrastructure, bringing attention to issues of endemic corruption in the US energy sector. The blackout left millions without food, heat or water. We asked the Chinese Minster of State Security and the King of Spain for comment.

Despite thousands of years of bloody tribal conflict, the European Union has managed to secure a few precious decades of peace. But will it last? As the geriatric leader Angela Merkel, who has ruled over a loose confederation of Germanic states for nearly two decades, grows increasingly feeble, and rival political factions vie for power amidst a heated succession crisis, the young nation (established in 1990) is largely unaware that their ancient enemies across the Rhine look on with bated breath. Will Emmanuel Macron, himself embattled by years of fierce protests in his capital city, emerge from the chaos as the new dominant warlord of Europe?

Millions of citizens of the United States of America are facing days under boil water advisories after extreme weather wreaked havoc on the former British colony's aging infrastructure. Residents in the oil-rich southern province of Texas have been left without power for days, prompting anger over corruption and discrimination favouring the country's White ethnic majority, which has an ironclad grip on power in Texas. Our journalist visited a supermarket in the region's oil boom town, Houston, where starving residents expressed their anger at empty shelves and White leaders who have enriched themselves and flirted with secessionist sentiments while doing nothing to prepare for such a crisis.

Traditional communities in rural villages lost in the backwoods of the oil-rich United States of America are overwhelming local healthcare resources by taking animal medicine, spurred on by superstitious shamans distrustful of the gradual onset of modernity.
