 And outside Africa, the European Parliament has ratified the post-Brexit-EU-UK trade deal. A key move to ensure that tariff and quarter-free trade continues. The trade and cooperation agreement has been operating provisionally since January. MEPs voted in favour by 660 votes to five, while 32 abstained. The UK's chief negotiator, Lord Frost, said the vote brings certainty and allows people to focus on the future. And also the news-friended President Emmanuel Macron's government will unveil a new anti-terrorism draft deal on Wednesday, days after the fatal stabbing of a police officer by an Islamist extremist. The deal aims to identify suspects before they carry out an attack and will turn temporary measures into permanent ones that could include extending a collaboration with telecom companies to review private communications and introduce the use of algorithms in online surveillance. The controversial deal led to demonstrations last year, despite a ban on public gatherings during the coronavirus pandemic. It aims to protect security forces from online incitement to violence by making it an offence to show the face or identity of any officer on duty when there is an attempt to damage their physical or psychological integrity.
