Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan has been sworn in for a second term amid tight security, following an election marred by violent protests and rejected by the opposition as a sham.

Samia was declared the winner on Saturday with 98% of the vote - but she faced little opposition with key rival candidates either imprisoned or barred from running.

International observers have raised concerns about the transparency of the election and its violent aftermath, with hundreds of people reportedly killed.

Jamaican music superstar Sean Paul has said the scale of the effort required to help people in the country is "overwhelming" after Hurricane Melissa devastated parts of the island last week.

Fellow musician Shaggy has also been co-ordinating aid efforts on the island, bringing essentials to locals via small convoys.

Asked how he felt about what had happened, he said: "Devastated. I don't think I can unsee what I've seen.”

Winds of up to 185mph (295 km/h) caused at least 28 deaths. Paul and his family were in the capital Kingston, while areas further west suffered the greatest damage.

US President Donald Trump says it's down to Democrats to reopen the US government as the shutdown enters its 34th day.

In an interview with CBS News' 60 Minutes programme, the President described Democrats as "crazed lunatics" and offered no plans to fill the gaps between them and the Republicans on issues such as healthcare costs.

Republicans and Democrats could not agree to pass a bill funding government services past 1 October, when the previous federal budget expired.

In the US system, Congress must agree a spending plan to send to the president to be signed into law.

Israel has confirmed the identities of three deceased hostages whose bodies it received from Hamas via the Red Cross in Gaza on Sunday.

Forensic tests showed the remains were those of Israeli soldiers Col Asaf Hamami, Capt Omer Neutra and Staff Sgt Oz Daniel, the prime minister's office said.

Under the first phase of the US-brokered ceasefire deal with Israel that started more than three weeks ago, Hamas agreed to return all 20 living and 28 dead hostages it was holding.

But Israel has accused Hamas of deliberately delaying the recovery of the dead hostages' bodies, while Hamas has insisted it is struggling to find them under rubble.

The sole survivor of the Air India plane crash, which killed 241 people on board, has said he feels like the "luckiest man" alive, but is also suffering physically and mentally.

Viswashkumar Ramesh walked away from the wreckage of the London-bound flight in Ahmedabad.

He said it was a "miracle" he escaped but told how he has lost everything, as his younger brother Ajay died in the crash in June.

Since returning to his home in Leicester, Mr Ramesh has struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder, his advisers said, and has been unable to speak to his wife and four-year-old son.
