Refugees refusing to leave Australia's now closed Manus Island detention
centre have been forced to endure a restless night fearful of attack and
with little power or water.
More than 600 refugees and asylum seekers remained inside the facility
in Papua New Guinea's Lombrum Navy Base overnight, many too scared to
venture out.
The group made an eleventh-hour bid in the PNG Supreme Court to prevent
the centre's scheduled closure on Tuesday night.
Senator Nick McKim told Australia's ABC that Electricity had been cut to
two buildings by early evening while some of those holed up were doing
what they could to guard against dehydration.

Arrests in US Mueller investigation could be the first of many

Two ex-Trump campaign aides have pleaded not guilty to a series of charges including money laundering and acting as unregistered agents for Ukraine's former government.

Ex-campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business associate Rick Gates handed themselves in to federal authorities on Monday morning.

Meanwhile a third former member of the Trump campaign...George Papadopoulos...has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

The arrests are the first as a result of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into allegations of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 US presidential election.
