The British public will vote on whether to stay in or leave the EU on June 23rd.

The Remain camp says British workers will be around 38 pounds (50 dollars) worse of a week if Britain leaves.

Owen Tudor from the TUC union says that is a significant amount...

SCRIPT

Kizza Besigye was arrested in Uganda's capital Kampala as he led a street processions, despite an earlier interim court order which barred him from organizing and participating in protests. 

He claims the February 2016 elections were rigged in favour of President Museveni and staged a mock swearing in. 

However Prosecutors allege that the opposition leader declared himself President and illegally took a Presidential oath.

Uganda's Supreme Court upheld President Museveni's victory after the opposition lost.

Museveni is respected for restoring steady economic growth and stability after years of turmoil, but critics accuse him of cracking down on dissent, failing to tackle corruption and seeking a life presidency.

Independent election monitors said the Uganda's February's polls were conducted in an intimidating atmosphere and the electoral commission lacked independence and transparency.

Kizza Besigye is expected back in the court on the 1st day of June for hearing of his case.

Besigye was previously charged with treason in 2005, but that case was later dropped.
