London Mayor and UK Prime Minister Promote Remain Campaign

The newly elected London Mayor, Sadiq Khan, and UK Prime Minister David Cameron have come together to launch the Britain Stronger Together battle bus, ahead of the UK's referendum on its membership of the EU.


It's an unlikely combination as Prime Minister Cameron is the head of Britain's Conservative Party while Sadiq Khan is the Labour Party's Mayor of London, but both are coming together to campaign for Britain to stay in the EU.

Criticism over Cincinatti Zoo Parents


Cincinnati Zoo in the US has been criticised for shooting and killing a 400 pound gorilla, after a four year old boy enter the enclosure.

Video footage taken on phones shows the Gorilla dragging the child around the enclosure and screams of onlookers can be heard.

It's understood the 4 year old spent 10 minutes trapped by the gorilla before the response team took the decision to shoot the animal.

Thousands of people have now signed an online petition, calling for the boy's parents to be held accountable for not watching their child closer.

Zoo director Thayne Maynard said it was a difficult decision to shoot the gorilla.


Animal expert Jack Hanna told Fox and Friends that male gorillas are extremely powerful and the zoo had no choice but to act:

VO

 

President Park's meeting with the host, Uganda's president Yoweri Museveni is due Sunday morning

 

The two leaders are expected to have closed door bilateral talks

 

Uganda and South Korea have longstanding relations established more than 50 years ago

 

But this is the first visit of a South Korean president to Uganda

 

President Park's visit comes at a time when Uganda on the other hand also has cordial relations with North Korea despite the international sanctions against Pyongyang

 

North Korea has recently trained Ugandan Police.

 

Uganda is widely seen as a strong Western ally especially in fighting extremism.

 

This experts say places President Museveni as a strategic partner for South Korea, another Western ally.

 

President Park's Africa tour started in Ethiopia where she became the first South Korean leader to address the African Union

 

From Uganda, she will visit neighboring Kenya before leaving the continent for Europe.
