Like much of eastern Burkina Faso, the government has no control over what happens in Bartiébougou; local militants, backed by west African extremist groups, do.

In her first book, the Danish comedian is calling for fat liberation – and happiness. She talks about anti-capitalism, abuse and how her view of her body changed overnightSofie Hagen no longer tells fat jokes. “I did at the beginning of my career,” she says, a bit regretfully. “Nothing negative, just laughing at myself. I had one joke, where I said something like: ‘I’m fat because I overeat. And I overeat because I have a lot of pain inside. Like, for example, right here’” – she points to her cheek – “‘is a chicken bone I haven’t quite swallowed yet.’” I laugh appreciatively, but was I supposed to? “It’s really a lose-lose situation,” she says. “I do think there’s something powerful in a fat comedian being visible, owning the stage and calling out what the audience is already thinking. But I don’t make those jokes any more.”

Malcolm Roberts and Jacqui Lambie are attempting comebacks but the Australian election is likely to reverse the trend towards minor parties The 2016 federal election produced a large and diverse crossbench, with three minor parties winning three or more seats, while four other parties won a seat each. The double dissolution election made it easier for small parties but the trend is likely to reverse in 2019, with many of these crossbenchers in difficult races. While the crossbench is large, the balance of power in the Senate is generally held by a group of senators who sit close to the centre (or at least defy classification), including the Centre Alliance, Derryn Hinch and Tim Storer. This election gives the Greens a narrow chance of grabbing the balance of power, but it’s more likely that a bloc of centrist senators will remain crucial to the next government’s agenda.

Turnout in vote regarded as a fresh say on country’s name change too low to deliver decisive result, say officials A presidential election in North Macedonia that gave voters another chance to express an opinion on their country’s new name will go to a runoff after turnout in the first round was too low for any candidate to win outright, election officials said. The runoff on 5 May is inevitable because election law requires a candidate to get 50% plus one of registered voters to be elected in the first round. The state electoral commission reported the turnout on Sunday was 41.9%.
