Outcry in Uganda over compulsory HIV test 19-year-old Methia Nalukwago, a student at Makerere University in the capital Kampala, is excited by the proposal to have all students undergo compulsory HIV/AIDS testing. Some students, she says, have been living in denial. "Our friends, we study with them but you look at someone and you are like, ʼare you sure you are not sick or something like that?ʼ Of course you never come out to tell them but you feel it deep down inside you, this person must be sick because of the symptoms that show," Nalukwago told DW. "Compulsory testing for HIV will help us know our HIV status and where we stand." Studies

conducted by the Ugandan AIDS Commission show lack of sufficient information among the youth is contributing to an increase of HIV. Jane Were, the head teacher of Forest Hill College in Mukono district located 21 kilometers (13 miles) east of Kampala, said they are grappling with HIV in schools. She said the situation has been made worse by parents who mislead their children on what they are actually suffering from. "We have situations where parents lie to students about these [anti-retroviral] drugs. There are parents who tell children they have other ailments other than HIV," Were said.

Mick Schumacher tests DTM Mercedes at Nürburgring Michael Schumacherʼs son Mick took a time-out from his Formula 3 championship bid on Friday to test a German Touring Car (DTM) Mercedes. The 19-year-old is making steady progress through the junior ranks.

Michael Schumacher rose the ranks in Mercedesʼ young driver program in the late 1980s and early 90s, also finishing his Formula 1 career with three seasons driving the Silver Arrows in F1. Now, his son Mick is progressing up the junior series, competing this

year for the Formula 3 championship.

Schumacher the younger took time out from his typical F3 duties on Friday, however, to try out the Mercedes DTM (German Touring Car) around the Nürburgring. "I had a lot of fun.

That was a very worthwhile experience," Schumacher said after the test drive. The original plan was to allow Schumacher to drive demonstration laps in the same DTM Mercedes that Michael Schumacher raced in 1990 and 1991; but the car was ultimately not fit for use on the day.

Bangladesh unions reject $95 monthly wage for garment workers Hundreds of garment workers staged demonstrations in Bangladeshʼs capital, Dhaka, on Friday, after rejecting the governmentʼs plans to hike their minimum wage to Tk 8,000 ($95, €81). The new monthly pay deal, which is due to come into effect from December, marks a 51 percent rise on the current minimum wage, which was set in 2013. Bangladeshʼs Inde‐ pendent newspaper cited Joly Talukder, a union representative for the garment workers, as saying that the new wage is "illogical and unjust.

Hambach Forest: Battleground for climate action On Thursday morning, police moved into Germanyʼs ancient Hambach Forest toremove activists and the treehousesthey have lived in for the last six years. The forest is one of the oldest left in Europe. But underneath it lies a wealth of lignite, or brown coal — an extremely carbon-heavy fossil fuel. Police told DW they were acting on the request of local authorities to remove the tree-dwelling activists because of fire-safety concerns. But tensions have been building in the west German forest for months, as energy company RWE prepares to fell the treesin order to expand an opencast lignite mine.

Reasons why you should be happy the holidays are over Best time of the year? No way!

Nearly 20 percent of people aged between 30 and 44 cannot relax while on holiday. This is the conclusion of a Forsa survey. Some people canʼt completely forget work because their boss wants them to be available at all times. Others have stress with their family. The holidays apparently also lead to a few extra pounds. More than 50 percent of all Germans gain weight during their vacation, usually one or two kilos, according to a representative survey by the travel site start.de.

Red Star, Benfica, PSV win to qualify for Champions League draw Benfica, PSV Eindhoven and Red Star Belgrade have secured the final spots in the draw for the group stage of the Champions League. Salzburg failed in their 11th attempt to qualify for the group stage. Red Bull Salzburg, who due to UEFA rules are referred to as "FC Salzburg" in European play, blew a 2-0 lead at home to Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday, playing to a 2-2 draw, which saw the 1991 European champions advance on the away-goals rule. This was the 11th time that the Austrians have failed to advance from qualifying for the Champions League — in five of those cases they tripped at the final hurdle.

Former national team stars express cautious support for Joachim Löw Joachim Löw has received mixed reviews after he presented his analysis as to why Germany crashed out of the World Cup at the group stage.

Few, if any German media outlets were particularly impressed by the analysis of what went wrong for Germany at the 2018 World Cup in Russia presented by national team head coach Joachim Löw in Munich on Wednesday. Read more: Opinion: Too little, too late and still too detached The mass circulation newspaper Bild described the self-criticism that Löw expressed at the press conference as "weak," the national broadsheet Die Welt wrote that the Germany

coach "lacked the strength to act," while the news magazine Spiegel found that the results of the German Football Associationʼs (DFB) analysis was "not worthy of two months of silence."

German football fans will be watching Löw like a hawk when the national team faces World Cup champions France in their first match in the inaugural UEFA Nations League next Thursday, before taking on Peru in an international friendly the following Sunday.

A new age of truth at university Heading to college? Then read the terms and conditions of your facultyʼs anti-plagiarism and online exam tools, and click okay. Or forgo your degree.

Shudder to think: I doubt I would have got through university if then was now. I was way too busy dreaming to even write most of my essays, let alone submit them to the scrutiny of an automated, anti-plagiarism tool online. Back then … well, letʼs just say the internet was not my go-to study aid. I used my computer — a

crummy Macintosh Performa 6400 series — almost exclusively for making rubbish music demos that no one ever heard. Good job I was a dreamer, though, because I could only have dreamt of lugging that gray tower around Cologne Universityʼs equally crummy Philosophikum in my butter-stained, army-surplus rucksack. No such luck for todayʼs students. Today, you simply donʼt qualify as a student if you canʼt whip a be-stickered MacBook Pro — with Touchbar — out of some designer, skate apparel.

Africaʼs elephants are on the road to extinction. Faye Cuevas founded the tenBonma project to secure their future by stopping poachers before they kill the animals. And that involves a lot of detective work.

Project goal: tenBoma uses detective work to stop animal poachers and smugglers before they become active Project implementation: tenBoma connects local communities to regional and international agencies. In Kenya, the wildlife service and community rangers are trained to collect and analyze data to help predict a poacherʼs next strike Project partners:The Kenya Wildlife Service, rangers, local communities in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, nonprofit agencies, NGOs, national and international law enforcement agencies Stopping elephant poachers and smugglers before they kill. Thatʼs the aim of tenBoma, a project established by theInternational Fund of Animal Welfare(IFAW), in Kenya. tenBoma means ten houses, a name derived from the African philosophy that if ten houses look out for each other, the wider community is safer. To save highly endangered elephants, the project is training local rangers to become data analysts. Their job is to comb through information on poachers collected by the Kenyan Wildlife Services. Theyʼre also working closely with local communities such as the Maasai.

Every morning Dembo Cisse, a sturdily-built 21-year old from Guinea, waits for the car to pick him up. He and two others, who live in the same apartment that belongs to Italyʼs privatized migrant reception system, get in the vehicle. The old family car then heads from Oleggio, a small town in the northern Italian region of Piedmont, to an agricultural field nearby. But Dembo and his companions are not off to work in the food supply chain, dominated by large-scale distributors who require ever lower prices and therefore cheap labor — which many of their fellow Africans provide for lack of better options.
