South Africa’s ANC faces Zuma exit options as party seeks to rebuild.

South Africa’s ruling ANC party met behind closed doors Wednesday as pressure grew on President Jacob Zuma to step down ahead of elections next year when the party risks losing power. Zuma was replaced as party leader by his deputy Cyril Ramaphosa in December, and analysts predict Ramaphosa faces an uphill task to recover public support ahead of the 2019 vote. Zuma’s future was not on the official agenda at the ANC national executive committee meeting in the port city of East London, but the party is engulfed in a struggle over when he should leave office. Many ANC supporters want Zuma to resign and Ramaphosa to become president immediately to bring an end to a rule tainted by graft scandals and economic decline. “We have foreseen Zuma’s political downfall on many occasions and he has survived against all odds, however this is time the net is closing,” Susan Booysen, politics professor at Wits University in Johannesburg, told AFP. Zuma’s closest allies still hold s...

A video grab from footage broadcast by the UK Parliament’s Parliamentary Recording Unit (PRU) shows Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May speaking during the weekly Prime Ministers Questions (PMQs) session in the House of Commons in central London on January 10, 2018. / AFP PHOTO / PRU / HO / A healthcare crisis put British Prime Minister Theresa May on the defensive at her first weekly parliamentary questions of 2018 on Wednesday following a report about cuts in cancer care. The questions followed a report in Wednesday’s edition of The Times which said a leading hospital was delaying the start of chemotherapy for patients due to a 40-percent shortfall of nurses in the relevant medical unit. Andrew Weaver, head of chemotherapy at Churchill Hospital in Oxford, is also reportedly considering reducing the number of treatment cycles used to alleviate symptoms, rather than cure patients, due to staff shortages. The hospital has denied any change in policy. May...

5 Ridiculous Hotel Fees You Should Never Pay -.

Hotels are always looking for ways to make money. Thus, they have devised subtle ways to rake in more money-which may appear ingenious to them but not to their guests. Check your bill closely and always speak up when a hotel hits you with any of the following ridiculous fees shared by Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency. Additional person fee Hotel room rates are usually based on double occupancy. You don’t have to pay extra charges for kids or friends in the room. To avoid this fee, you need to be aware of it before you book so that you can search for another hotel that doesn’t charge it. WiFi fee WiFi should be one of the perks customers enjoy when they stay in a hotel. But a lot of hotels charge a fee for WiFi. This said, when you find such a fee on your bill, do not hesitate to make a complaint especially if it is ridiculously expensive.

Vice President Mike Pence will head the US delegation to the Winter Olympics in South Korea next month, a White House official told AFP Wednesday. The Pyeongchang “peace” games have taken on extra political meaning with the participation of North Korean athletes amid tensions on the peninsula. On the trip the US vice president will also “review ICBM defense systems” in Alaska, and visit allies in Japan. Pence “is attending to reinforce the strong US presence on the Korean Peninsula and send a clear signal to the North Korean regime,” a White House official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The full US delegation has yet to be announced. Loading ad North and South Korea held their first official dialogue in more than two years on Tuesday. In a modest diplomatic breakthrough Pyongyang — which boycotted the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul — plans to send a large delegation to the February 9-25...

Chelsea welcome Arsenal to the bridge in the League Cup semi final.

The second part of a January triple header between these fierce London rivals takes place tonight as both teams switch their focus to the League Cup semi-final after battling to an exciting 2-2 draw in the league just a week ago. They will take this game very seriously as both teams have fallen miles behind Manchester City in the race for the league title. Games between these teams have become more frequent recently as they faced each other five times last year in different competitions. The last time these teams faced each other in this competition was in the final, eleven years ago and that was a game to remember as a very youthful Arsenal side were beaten 2-1 by a very experienced Chelsea team led at the time by Jose Mourinho. In that encounter, Theo Walcott scored his first ever goal for Arsenal, John Terry swallowed his tongue, was knocked unconscious and taken off on a stretcher after he took Abou Diaby’s outstretched boot in his face and the game finished under ...
