Arsenal missed the chance to strengthen their position at the top of the Premier League as they were held to a 0–0 draw by Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Saturday.

With title rivals Manchester City having dropped points earlier in the day, Mikel Arteta’s side had the opportunity to open a wider gap at the summit. Instead, they were left frustrated by a well-organised Forest defence and a lack of sharpness in the final third.

Arsenal dominated possession but struggled to create clear openings, particularly in a subdued first half in which they failed to record a shot on target. Their best chance before the break fell to Gabriel Martinelli, who sent an effort wide from close range.

The visitors improved after halftime following the introduction of Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus. Forest goalkeeper Matz Sels was forced into several saves, including a notable stop to deny Saka’s header, as Arsenal increased the pressure.

A VAR review for a potential handball by Ola Aina did not result in a penalty, adding to Arsenal’s frustration as Forest held firm to secure a point.

The draw leaves Arsenal seven points clear at the top of the table, though Aston Villa can reduce the gap with a win. While Arteta’s side remain in control of the title race, consecutive goalless draws have raised questions about their attacking efficiency at a crucial stage of the season.

Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has won a seventh term, extending his tenure from 2026 to 2031. If he completes the term, Museveni will have spent 45 years in power, one of the longest continuous leadership periods in Africa.

Museveni first took power on January 26, 1986, after leading a successful rebel movement. His early rule, from 1986 to 1996, preceded Uganda’s first direct presidential election. Since then, he has been re-elected six times:

1st term: 1996–2001

2nd term: 2001–2006

3rd term: 2006–2011

4th term: 2011–2016

5th term: 2016–2021

6th term: 2021–2026

7th term: 2026–2031 (current)

Manchester United secured a 2–0 victory over Manchester City at Old Trafford on Saturday in Michael Carrick’s first match of his second spell as caretaker manager.

After a goalless first half, United made the breakthrough in the 65th minute when Bryan Mbeumo finished a swift counter-attack to put the hosts ahead. United doubled their lead in the 76th minute, with Patrick Dorgu converting a cross from Matheus Cunha.

United pressed for further goals and saw three efforts ruled out for offside, including a 93rd-minute strike by Mason Mount, but the disallowed goals did not affect the outcome.

Manchester City struggled to gain attacking momentum and managed only one shot on target over the course of the match, as United maintained defensive control to close out the win.

The result provides an early boost for Carrick as United begin another interim period under his leadership.

Uganda’s political climate remains tense days after the country’s general election, with conflicting accounts surrounding the whereabouts of opposition leader Bobi Wine adding to an already uncertain post-vote environment.

As of Saturday, January 17, 2026, Bobi Wine says he is in hiding following what he describes as an overnight raid involving police and military personnel. In a message shared on social media, the National Unity Platform (NUP) leader stated that he managed to evade arrest during the operation but claimed his wife and other family members are still confined at their home under what he characterizes as house arrest.

Authorities, however, tell a different story. Ugandan police have rejected claims that Wine was abducted or forced to flee, maintaining that he remains at his residence and is free to move about. At the same time, officials acknowledge that access to his home has been restricted, citing security concerns an admission that has done little to resolve questions about his actual freedom of movement.

The confusion was compounded by earlier statements from Wine’s party. On Friday night, the NUP initially reported that their leader had been forcibly taken away by the army using a helicopter. The military later denied this claim, and the party’s account has since shifted, aligning more closely with Wine’s own assertion that he escaped and went into hiding.

These developments are unfolding against the backdrop of a closely watched and highly contested election held on Thursday, January 15. Bobi Wine has accused authorities of widespread electoral malpractice, including ballot stuffing and broader systemic manipulation. Voting took place amid a nationwide internet shutdown, limiting the flow of information and drawing criticism from civil society groups and observers.

Preliminary results released so far indicate a strong lead for incumbent President Yoweri Museveni, who has governed Uganda since 1986. While official tallies are still being finalized, the early figures suggest he is on course to extend his nearly four-decade hold on power.

Allegations of widespread suspicion of double voting and other forms of fraud have been major points of contention in recent Ugandan elections, particularly the ongoing January 2026 general elections. Both the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM) and the opposition National Unity Platform (NUP) have traded accusations of vote manipulation.

A local carnival group that made headlines this week for a performance featuring a dozen dancers dressed as the late physicist Stephen Hawking has completed its act with a philanthropic twist: donating its entire fleet of motorized wheelchairs to patients with ALS.

​The ensemble, known as "Una chirigota en teoría," took to the streets of Cádiz during the city’s famed annual carnival on January 14, 2026. The 12 members performed their routine entirely from motorized chairs, utilizing robotic voice synthesizers to mimic the British cosmologist.

​While the Cádiz Carnival is renowned for its biting satire and irreverent humor, the group’s director, Paco, and author Miguel Ángel Llull, emphasized that the "Hawking" motif was designed to provide "voice and visibility" to people living with disabilities.

​"We tend to be committed to these issues because Paco works with people with disabilities," Llull said following the performance. "The idea was to place these issues at the center of the celebration."

​The group coordinated with the association ELA Andalucía to ensure the specialized chairs significant financial investments for any stage production were delivered to individuals suffering from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). ALS is the same neurodegenerative disease that Hawking lived with for over five decades.

​The initiative has drawn praise from advocacy groups for transforming a temporary artistic "tipo" (carnival character) into a lasting medical resource. In a festival often defined by its ephemerality, the donation provides a rare tangible legacy, moving the chairs from the theater stage to the homes of those in need of mobility assistance.

​The Cádiz Carnival continues through the week, maintaining its reputation as a platform where social commentary and community action frequently intersect.

Ugandan authorities on Saturday rejected allegations that opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, the pop star turned politician known as Bobi Wine, was abducted by security forces following this week’s high-stakes presidential election.

The denial comes amid a volatile atmosphere in the capital, where early results suggest veteran President Yoweri Museveni is poised to extend his 40-year rule.

Police spokesperson Kituuma Rusoke described reports of Wine’s overnight disappearance as “untrue and unfounded,” dismissing them as “deceitful and inciteful allegations.” Rusoke asserted that the narrative was an intentional effort to “depict the security agencies of Uganda as brutal and violators of the rights of a political candidate.”

The National Unity Platform (NUP), Wine's party, had earlier claimed that security agents some allegedly in military uniform breached the gates of his residence in the early hours of January 17. Family members, including Wine’s son, publicly alleged that the candidate and his wife had been forcibly taken to an undisclosed location.

Wine, 43, had previously told reporters he was under “effective house arrest” at his home in Kampala. He has vocally rejected the January 16 election results, citing widespread ballot stuffing and the intimidation of his polling agents.

The standoff is unfolding against the backdrop of a total nationwide internet blackout, which the government implemented on the eve of the vote. Officials defended the shutdown as a necessary measure to prevent the spread of misinformation and potential civil unrest. However, human rights groups and international observers have criticized the move, warning that it creates a "digital darkness" that prevents independent verification of the electoral process.

Security forces have a history of confining Wine to his home during sensitive political moments, including the 2021 election cycle. While the government maintains its actions are aimed at preserving public order, the NUP continues to describe the heavy military presence around Wine’s home as an illegal crackdown on dissent.

As the Electoral Commission continues to tally votes, the whereabouts and status of the country’s primary opposition figure remain a central point of contention in an election already marred by reports of campaign violence and hundreds of arrests.
