Nigeria’s two main opposition leaders on Tuesday filed petitions seeking to cancel results from last month’s disputed presidential election, court papers showed, to begin what could be a legal battle lasting several months. There have been numerous legal challenges to the outcome of previous Nigerian presidential elections but none has succeeded. Atiku Abubakar from the biggest opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party’s Peter Obi asked the Appeals Court to invalidate the election won by Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) party. The opposition leaders said in separate affidavits the election was fraught with irregularities and accused the Independent…

UK inflation jumped unexpectedly in February after food prices surged at their highest rate for 45 years, piling pressure on the Bank of England to increase interest rates again this week. Adding to the squeeze on household incomes, the consumer prices index (CPI) accelerated to 10.4% from 10.1% in January, with prices driven higher by a rise in the cost of drinks, women’s clothes, meals out and fresh food as salad items ran short. The price of goods and services have now increased dramatically since last year when the official inflation rate was nearer 6% and by 17.2% over the past…

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg says he wishes that Antonio Conte had been more open and “precise” in his communication with the Tottenham squad as he reflected on the manager’s outburst which has made his position untenable and set the wheels in motion for his sacking. Conte laid into the players after Saturday’s 3-3 draw at Southampton, calling them “selfish” and questioning their mentality, the frustrations that have simmered during an erratic season boiling over in spectacular fashion. Spurs have started to check the market for Conte’s successor and are making plans for his immediate departure. Previously, he had been expected to leave at the…

Former President Donald Trump praised recent reports that a lawyer who briefly acted as a legal adviser to Michael Cohen is expected to testify on Monday before a New York grand jury investigating whether to charge the former president over claims he paid hush money to an adult actress during his 2016 presidential campaign. “Just reported that the most important witness to go before the New York City grand jury, a highly respected lawyer who once represented convicted felon, jailbird, and serial fake storyteller and liar, Michael Cohen, will be doing so tomorrow afternoon,” Trump wrote in a March 19 post on…

Rishi Sunak has said he will let MPs make decisions “as individuals” about how to vote on any sanctions imposed on Boris Johnson by the privileges committee if they determine he has lied to parliament. The former prime minister has submitted a 50-page dossier laying out his defence to the committee, which will hold a televised hearing with him on Wednesday. The defence is expected to be published on Tuesday, after legal advisers and Commons officials were combing through the dossier “in the interests of making appropriate redactions to protect the identity of some witnesses”, a spokesperson for the committee said. Speaking on BBC…

Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping were set to hold a second day of talks on Tuesday, as the internationally isolated Russian leader said he was open to discussing China’s proposals on the fighting in Ukraine and the US called on Xi to press him to “halt the war crimes”. Xi’s trip to Moscow has been viewed as a major boost for his strategic partner Putin, who is subject to an international criminal court warrant over accusations of unlawfully deporting Ukrainian children. The Chinese leader is expected to continue to position himself as a potential peacemaker in the Ukraine war during his two-day…

For her efforts to report injuries to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) and to educate others in her hospital system on doing the same, Physician Assistant Deborah Conrad said she was labeled an anti-vaxxer and fired from her job. Today, the New York-based Conrad tells her story at medical freedom conferences throughout the country, the most recent being one in Mississippi where physicians, scientists, and the vaccine injured warned state lawmakers to pull the COVID-19 vaccines from the market. Conrad told The Epoch Times she began to see early danger signals in 2021 upon the vaccine rollout, and with that,…

Roy Hodgson has returned to Crystal Palace as manager until the end of the season after taking over from Patrick Vieira. Hodgson, who turns 76 in August, will extend his existing record as the Premier League’s oldest-ever manager after agreeing a deal along with longtime assistant Ray Lewington following meetings with chairman Steve Parish on Monday. “I would like to welcome Roy and Ray back to the club,” said a statement from Parish on Tuesday. “We are obviously in a very challenging period but we believe that Roy’s and Ray’s experience, knowledge of the club and players, alongside Paddy can help…

Our glorious leaders never admitted they were making a mistake even if people’s lives were at stake and their policies risked the collapse of the NHS. “Does he bring any value at all?” That was a question raised by the Health Secretary Matt Hancock during the pandemic and whilst the question is valid, the one posing the question is the one many of us may think should instead have been the subject. Sadly, while lockdown went on for too long (I’d say about two years too long) the outing of those taking what looked like masochistic pleasure in our incarceration was all…

Banking stocks on the FTSE 100 and oil and gas prices have tumbled after the historic state-backed rescue of troubled lender Credit Suisse by Swiss rival UBS Group. In a package orchestrated by Swiss regulators on Sunday, UBS Group will pay 3 billion Swiss francs (£2.7bn) for 167-year-old Credit Suisse and assume up to $5.4bn (£4.4bn) in losses. However, banking stocks across the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 plunged as much as 6.2pc after the open, following falls on Asian markets as Credit Suisse bondholders took a massive hit. The FTSE 100 has since recovered but banking stocks remain lower,…
