When news dropped that Tory Lanez was arrested on a weapons charge and Megan Thee Stallion, it was all jokes, but it turns out that night was dangerously serious for the \"Hot Girl.\"
BEIJING, China (AFP) — China said yesterday that relations with the United States were “on the brink of a new Cold War”, fuelled in part by tensions over the new coronavirus pandemic that has killed nearly 350,000 people worldwide and pitched the global economy into a massive downturn.
In Britain, Prime Minister Boris Johnson was yesterday forced to defend his top aide Dominic Cummings, accused of having breached the Government's own lockdown rules.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said yesterday that Washington had been infected by a “political virus” to continually attack China, but that Beijing would nevertheless be open to an international effort to find the coronavirus source.
While European nations initially among the hardest hit have started to ease lockdowns in a bid to salvage economies and lifestyles, other countries such as Brazil, where deaths have surged, are emerging as new centres of the pandemic.
South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa, meanwhile, said yesterday that a controversial ban on the sale of alcohol would be lifted for home consumption when the country moves into level three of a five-tier coronavirus lockdown next month.
Paul Rusesabagina, portrayed as a hero in a Hollywood movie about Rwanda’s 1994 genocide, was charged with 12 counts against him on Monday including terrorism.
It's one of Rwanda's most high profile cases against a government critic. He appeared in the Kigali court and was also accused of complicity in murder and forming or joining an irregular armed group.
Rusesabagina is the leader of an opposition group, the Rwandan Movement for Democratic Change, which is said to have an armed wing called the National Liberation Front.
The 66-year-old has Belgium citizenship and was living abroad.
His lawyer, Vincent Lurquin, said he hoped he could get to Rwanda this month.
\"In order to go to Rwanda, there is a big procedure, especially with visas. So we hope that the Rwandan government will accept that we have visas in order for us to defend Mr. Rusesabagina over there.
\"But I have to tell you that the talks between the Belgian and the Rwanda authorities on that front are not progressing much. .\"
His lawyer has urged his provisional release.
\"The conditions of his detention are very tough for him and for his health. But other than that he cannot talk about anything else as he is never alone, even when he speaks with his family over the phone,\" said Lurquin.
It is still unclear how Rusesabagina came to be in Rwanda.
His family says the charges against him are politically motivated and allege he was kidnapped while in Dubai for meetings and brought to Rwanda against his will.
The Rwanda Investigation Bureau has said international cooperation was involved in detaining Rusesabagina -- who has lived abroad since 1996 and holds both Belgian citizenship and a US Green Card -- but refuses to disclose further details.
He's credited with saving more than 1,2000 Rwandans by sheltering them in a hotel.

Rowan was born August 11, 1925, in the mining town of Ravenscroft, Tennessee. When he was a baby his family moved to McMinnville, Tennessee, because his parents thought its lumberyards offered more opportunity. His father, Thomas, stacked lumber for construction, and his mother, Johnnie, cleaned houses, cooked, and did laundry for wealthier families. They had five children. The Rowan family home had no electricity, running water, telephone, nor even a clock. One of young Carls teachers encouraged him to read and write as much as possible, even going to the library for him because, as a black person, Rowan wasnt allowed to check out books for himself. He graduated at the top of his high school class.
Rowan worked at a tuberculosis hospital and saved money to start his undergraduate studies at Tennessee State College in 1942. After the U.S. entered World War II, Rowan signed up for a Navy program that led to an officers commission. He was one of the first twenty black Naval officers during World War II, serving on a tanker in the Atlantic Ocean.
Rowan finished Oberlin College in Ohio in 1947, and earned a masters degree in journalism at the University of Minnesota in 1948. That year, Rowan got his first journalism job as a copy editor at the Minneapolis Tribune. Within six years he was reporting for the paper in the southern U.S. to cover response to the Supreme Court desegregation ruling. His foreign correspondence covered the war over the Suez Canal in 1956, and events in Europe and Asia.
Rowans reporting caught the eye of Lyndon Johnson, and led to an appointment in the State Department of the John F. Kennedy administration in 1961. Rowan then served as a delegate to the United Nations, an ambassador to Finland, and Director of the U.S. Information Agency.
Rowan left the Federal government in 1965 to start a syndicated newspaper column. It was published three days a week until his death in 2000. He also produced radio commentaries that aired five days a week. Rowan was a regular television
