IMF WARNS AGAINST BREXIT

UK economic growth could be hit in a 'negative and substantial' way, if Britain votes to leave the EU, according to the International Monetary Fund.

A regular report on the state of the British economy from the IMF suggests a so-called Brexit would cause volatility on the financial markets and reduce economic output.

The IMF also believes a vote to Leave could reduce London's influence as a global financial centre.

Britain votes on its European Union membership on 23rd June.

At a press conference in London, IMF boss Christine Lagarde was asked why British voters should listen to her organisation on the EU…after her organisation's recent predictions on austerity measures harming the UK economy were proven wrong.

In his maiden speech minutes after searing into office, Museveni took a swing at the International Criminal Court 

Speaking before heads of states among them South African President Jacob Zuma and ICC wanted Sudan leader Omar Bashir, Museveni called the ICC a 'bunch of useless people' 

Museveni said Uganda has no interest in it, adding to his previous vocal criticism of the Hague based court 

In a live broadcast, Television cameras focused on Sudan's Bashir as he applauded Museveni's remarks

Uganda is a signatory to the Rome statute, a treaty that established the ICC 

It is also one of the first countries to refer a case to the court

Fugitive Ugandan rebel leader Joseph Kony is wanted by the same court for war crimes and crimes against humanity 

Already one of his co-accused rebel fighters Dominic Ongwen is currently facing trial at the Hague.
