    1. FBI arrests armed protest leader

    The leader of an armed occupation at a federal wildlife refuge* in Oregon, the United States and others were arrested on January 26 after shots were fired during a traffic stop, leaving one person dead and another wounded, the FBI said.

    Protesters were still occupying the remote Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Oregon after leader Ammon Bundy’s arrest and the Federal Bureau of Investigation was setting up a perimeter* with the hopes of a peaceful resolution, a law enforcement official said.

    A total of eight people were arrested in two states. The takeover at Malheur that started on January 2 is the latest flare-up* in the so-called Sagebrush Rebellion, a decades-old conflict over the U.S. Government’s control of millions of acres of land in the West.

    2. Sweden ‘to expel up to 80,000 migrants’

    Sweden intends to expel up to 80,000 failed asylum* seekers, the interior minister said on Thursday, the latest move by EU states to tighten their borders in the face of the migrant crisis.

    Interior Minister Anders Ygeman said the mass expulsions* of people who arrived last year as part of a record influx* of migrants would use specially chartered aircraft and be staggered* over several years. “We are talking about 60,000 people but the number could climb to 80,000,” he said, adding that police and migrant authorities have been tasked with organizing the scheme.

    3. 40 dead after migrant boat sinks

    Almost 40 people drowned and 75 were rescued after a boat carrying migrants to Greece sank off Turkey’s western coast on Saturday, according to local officials and the Turkish Dogan news agency.

    More than 1 million refugees and migrants arrived in the European Union last year and some 3,600 died or went missing, forcing the EU to mull suspending its Schengen open-borders area for up to two years.

    4. Zika virus spreads across Americas

    More than 2,100 pregnant Colombian women are infected with the mosquito-borne* Zika virus*, the country’s national health institute said, as the disease continues its spread across the Americas.

    The virus has been linked to the devastating* birth defect microcephaly*, which prevents fetus’* brains from developing properly. There is no vaccine or treatment.

    There are 20,297 confirmed cases of the disease in Colombia, the national health institute said in a epidemiology* bulletin, among them 2,116 pregnant women.

    5. Suu Kyi’s allies form ruling party

    Hundreds of lawmakers from Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League of Democracy (NLD) were sworn into Myanmar’s parliament on Monday, with enough seats to choose the country’s first democratically elected government since the military took power in 1962.

    The NLD won some 80 percent of elected seats in November’s historic vote, catapulting* it to power as Myanmar’s ruling party after decades of struggle that saw many of its members imprisoned.

    But the junta-drafted constitution means the party will have to share power with the army.

    6. Boko Haram burns kids alive in Nigeria

    A survivor who hid in a tree says he watched Boko Haram extremists firebomb* huts and heard the screams of children burning to death, among 86 people officials say died in the latest attack by Nigeria’s homegrown Islamic extremists.

    Scores of charred corpses and bodies with bullet wounds littered the streets from Saturday night’s attack on Dalori village and two nearby camps housing 25,000 refugees, according to survivors and soldiers at the scene just 5 kilometers from Maiduguri, the birthplace of Boko Haram and the biggest city in Nigeria’s northeast.

    The shooting, burning and explosions from three suicide bombers continued for nearly four hours in the unprotected area, survivor Alamin Bakura said. (SD-Agencies)
