Jean Leonard Teganya, a former medical student accused of helping target Tutsi people during Rwanda’s 1994 genocide, was deported from the United States to Rwanda on November 9, 2026. His U.S. convictions were for immigration fraud and perjury, not genocide; he now faces separate allegations in Rwanda, whose authorities have not publicly detailed the charges.
Key Facts
Rwanda’s National Public Prosecution Authority said Teganya arrived at Kigali International Airport on November 9, 2026, with U.S. security officers and was handed to Rwandan prosecutors.
Rwanda indicted Teganya in 2014 over alleged genocide and crimes against humanity in the former Butare prefecture.
Teganya was studying medicine and training at Butare’s university teaching hospital during the 1994 genocide.
U.S. prosecutors presented evidence alleging that Teganya helped search the hospital for Tutsi patients and refugees, and was linked to killings and rapes.
Teganya left Rwanda in July 1994 and later sought asylum in Canada; after his applications were rejected, he entered the United States in 2014.
A U.S. jury convicted Teganya in 2019 of two counts of immigration fraud and three counts of perjury.
He received a 97-month prison sentence, which a federal appeals court upheld in 2021.

The UK Conservative Party says it would save £2.8 billion a year by limiting Disability Living Allowance payments for children with behavioural disorders, learning difficulties or ADHD to those with the highest needs. It says other families affected by the change would receive support through mental health services and family hubs, while Labour argues the wider welfare cuts would cause hardship.
Key Facts
Child Disability Living Allowance pays parents between £30.30 and £194.60 per week to help with the extra costs of caring for a disabled child.
The Conservatives say the number of child DLA cases rose from 521,476 in 2020 to 914,000.
Under the proposal, about 30% of affected children, those with the most severe conditions, would keep receiving payments.
The other 70% would lose cash payments and instead be offered support through mental health services and family hubs.
The Conservatives say they would invest £1 billion in mental health services and family hubs.
The proposed changes would apply to new claims and reassessments; children with physical disabilities would be exempt.
The Conservatives say their broader welfare proposals would save £36 billion, including cuts to sickness and disability benefits, housing support and the two-child benefit cap.
Labour says the plans would push people into hardship and could cost the state more.

An Al Jazeera investigation identified cases in which Israeli settlers accused of attacking Palestinians later appeared in military uniforms and issued orders as soldiers. The report also examined lethal attacks and the role of Israeli military reserve units, arguing that many unit members are settlers and that the units increasingly support settler operations.
Key Facts
The investigation identified Yitzhak Levi Filant, a settler from Yitzhar, in footage and testimony related to incidents in the village of Tal.
The report said Filant was filmed assaulting farmers in civilian clothes and later returning in a military uniform with a military-issued weapon.
The United States placed Filant under sanctions in August 2024; the Trump administration removed him from the sanctions list in early 2025.
The investigation said settler Luria Luski shot and killed Amir Shanaran near Susya on March 7 and severely wounded Shanaran’s cousin.
Al Jazeera reported that 14 of 63 Palestinians killed by settlers since October 7, 2023, were shot by people serving in the army or wearing military uniforms.
The report said soldier Bezalel Talia raided Palestinian homes and detained residents while also running a training camp for settler youth.
Israeli military Regional Defence battalions, known as Hagmar, have expanded sixfold since 2023, according to the investigation.
Deputy commander Assaf Surya told Israeli media that most Hagmar members in Hebron are settlers serving in the reserves.

Spain’s Ministry of Youth and Children is seeking explanations from TikTok and has raised the possibility of suspending the platform after an investigation by Maldita.es reported finding child sexual abuse material and suspected predators. The ministry said it had asked prosecutors to act and that Minister Sira Rego had requested an urgent meeting with TikTok representatives in Spain.
Key Facts
Maldita.es said it monitored TikTok for 35 days in September and October and found more than 1,000 child sexual abuse videos with 48 million views.
The foundation reported identifying about 26,000 accounts of suspected paedophiles across its investigation categories and said it shared their details with authorities.
Maldita.es said TikTok recommended 19 livestreams by minors in three days, including a stream by a 10-year-old girl that received suggestive comments from an adult man.
The report said 231 profiles posted 1,183 explicit items, 780 accounts appeared to attract buyers, and more than 10,000 accounts sought exchanges of sexual images in comments.
Maldita.es said TikTok had removed about one-tenth of the content it flagged and blocked a quarter of illegal posts in Spain when the findings were published.
TikTok is owned by ByteDance and denies accusations that it has failed to protect minors.
The European Union told TikTok on Friday to change the design of its personalised For You feed or risk large fines under the bloc’s digital content rules.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says it has lifted the country’s self-imposed 2,000km limit on ballistic missile range, but did not say whether Iran already has missiles that exceed it. The announcement comes amid the US-Israel war with Iran and diplomatic efforts to end the fighting; analysts say Iran may have the technical ability to launch missiles farther, though their effectiveness is uncertain.
Key Facts
IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebbi announced the change at a news conference in Tehran on Saturday.
Mohebbi said Iran would demonstrate its capabilities through action but did not confirm that it has missiles with ranges beyond 2,000km.
Iran’s existing missiles can reach the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant, most of Egypt and parts of southeastern Europe.
Gulf states are already within Iran’s previous 2,000km range and have faced Iranian missile fire since the war began on February 28.
The United Kingdom accused Iran in March of firing missiles toward the US-UK base at Diego Garcia, about 4,000km from Iran; Tehran denied targeting the base.
The United States and European allies have raised concerns that Iran could target bases in Europe and the Indian Ocean.
Iran does not currently have intercontinental ballistic missiles in its arsenal, according to the article.
An analyst cited in the article said Iran could probably field missiles with a range of about 5,000km, while noting that range does not establish how effective they would be.

Olara Otunnu, a contender to become the next U.N. secretary-general, says the organization should streamline its operations and focus on peace and security, social development, and human rights. He also called for stronger financial and administrative reforms as the U.N. faces large unpaid contributions and conflicts including Ukraine, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Key Facts
Otunnu is Uganda’s former permanent representative to the United Nations and served as a U.N. under-secretary-general from 1997 to 2005.

The U.N. General Assembly voted in June to change a budget rule that provided refunds to member states even if they had not paid their contributions.
The U.N.80 reform program has cut posts, relocated staff, and consolidated administrative functions; Otunnu said further cuts to bureaucracy and senior management were needed.
Otunnu said President Donald Trump’s personal approach to diplomacy was not new, noting that major powers have long taken initiatives to address conflicts.

An investigation by the Guardian and ITV News reports that several women accuse comedian and author David Walliams of pursuing them sexually when they were teenagers or young women, and describes allegations of inappropriate workplace conduct. Walliams denies abusing his power and says he regrets not always considering the feelings of people he had casual sexual relationships with.
Key Facts
Alex says Walliams first contacted her in 2004, when she was 15, after she gave him scripts at a fan event.
Alex says she and Walliams spoke and emailed over the next two years, and that they had sex when she was 17.
A second woman, identified by the Guardian as Jade, says Walliams met her when she was 15, invited her to his home and initiated sexual contact.
The investigation reports allegations of inappropriate conduct toward women connected with Britain’s Got Talent and publisher HarperCollins.
