Joe Biden fractures foot while playing with one of his dogs


President-elect Joe Biden has fractured his foot while playing with his dog, Major, in Delaware on Saturday.

The 78-year-old  president-elect will have to wear a walking boot for several weeks. It is unclear whether this will last until his inauguration on January 20.

Initial X-rays did not show a break, but the diagnosis changed following a CT scan.

On Sunday evening, he was seen walking with a slight limp to an SUV which took him to the Delaware Imaging Network for the CT scan.

Commenting on the injury, US president Donald Trump tweeted: "Get well soon!"

Mr Biden has two dogs, both Alsatians, Champ and Major and, according to reports, Jill Biden has hinted she would like to bring a cat to the White House.

Champ is the older of the two dogs, having been bought from a breeder as a puppy shortly after the 2008 election.

Boko Haram Slaughters 43 Farmers in Nigeria, Destroys Rice Farms

Suspected Boko Haram members have slaughtered 43 farmers at a rice plantation in Borno State, Nigeria. The insurgents were also said to have destroyed the rice plantation after slaughtering all the farmers in yet another major attack in the state. Reacting to the dastardly slaughter of the farmers, Amnesty International in a tweet condemned the targeting of civilians, saying it shows the group’s contempt for human life. The body, therefore, urged Boko Haram to “end its campaign of vicious and unlawful killings of civilians”. Even though details are still sketchy, the attack has triggered anger in several communities fearful of the worsening insecurity in the state and the country generally.  Nigerians have vented their anger on social media condemning the government for its apparent failure to secure lives of its citizens.
