Live from NPR News, I'm Dale Willman.

The European Union will always be very firm in defending international law wherever it may be, he said, and of course, starting within the territory of the EU member states. He says he's coordinating a joint response. The EU is responsible for the trade relationships of all its member states, and measures cannot be imposed on countries individually. For NPR News, I'm Terry Schultz.

Despite the freezing cold, you should be proud of yourselves. You should go home and look in the mirror and know that if you were alive in the 60s, that you'd be on the streets with Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. Be proud of yourselves.

These demonstrations come as the city is on edge following the Trump administration's deployment of around 2,500 agents in the area, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Additionally, the Department of Justice is now investigating Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry. Sarah Ventry, NPR News, Minneapolis.

Uganda's president has been declared the winner of that country's latest presidential elections that extends his 40-year grip on power. And it comes after an election marred by a government-imposed Internet blackout and reports of deadly violence. The president's main challenger, meanwhile, says he's in hiding. NPR's Emmanuel Akinwatu has our reports.

81-year-old President Yoweri Museveni is one of Africa's longest-serving leaders and has won a seventh election. But the polls have been roundly condemned by rights groups amid an internet blackout and several election observers banned from monitoring the vote. Museveni's main challenger, 43-year-old Bobby Wine, said the results were fake.
