Shocking footage shows youths hurling racial abuse at a man on a tram in Manchester

Shocking video which emerged on Tuesday morning shows three apparently drunk youths shouting hurling racial abuse and shouting at a man to "Get back to Africa' on a tram in Manchester.

According to Manchester Evening News, the man, who spoke with a foreign accent had asked the young men to stop using bad language as they were frightening other passengers.

The youths responded by hurling abuses at the man, telling his to "get back to Africa," Get off the tram now. Bro, I 'll waste you. I 'll waste anyone and Dont chat sh*t when you are not even from England, you little f***king immigrant"

The man, whose nationality was not mentioned, asked how old the youth is, "18,19? I 've been here longer than you".

The youths at one point flick the drink at the man, splashing him and several passengers. They were later chased off the tram, with passengers yelling at them, "You're a disgrace to England".

A woman who was on the tram, who wished to remain anonymous, said: "When I was there I knew it was going to get serious. This kind of incident is really happening. It needs to be noticed we don’t want these kind of incidents happening. The three men got off the tram at Market Street and it stopped there.The women on the tram started crying. It was really horrible. When I was walking back to my work I was crying all the way. I couldn’t control myself. I was feeling sad, I now feel scared coming to work. They were three boys, they weren’t very old. I am scared of travelling on my own, I feel scared for my children that it is not safe, I will not take them on the tram."

Chief Inspector Gareth Parkin of Greater Manchester Police City said: "This is a disgusting display of abuse which quite frankly has no place in society. All hate incidents are treated with the utmost severity and this behaviour will not be tolerated in Greater Manchester."

Concern as higher banking fees come into effect today

Commercial banks have announced an increase in transaction fees of 18 per cent effective today.

Stakeholders say the increase threatens to reverse gains made in financial inclusion in the country.

Banks have announced that fees charged on services such as withdrawals would increase following the government’s decision to impose 18 per cent value added tax (VAT) on the charges.

The government is targeting the billions of shillings banks have been earning in transaction fees, but, as expected, the additional cost has simply been passed on to customers.

This, in turn, would increase the tax burden on low income earners, making banking a costly undertaking, according to stakeholders.

Records show that the five biggest banks raked in Sh58 billion in fees and commissions in the first three months of this year, making the earnings a significant part of their profits.

The government has also introduced a 10 per cent excise duty tax on mobile money transfers, leaving people with no viable alternatives.  Previously, only mobile withdrawals were charged.

Mobile money helped to bring the majority of the unbanked population into the financial network, thus increasing financial inclusion to 40 per cent from 17 per cent in 2011, according to the Bank of Tanzania (BoT).

Transaction fees are charged on various banking services such as the depositing or withdrawal of cash, balance inquiry, ATM use, ATM card issuance and the transfer of money among banks or to mobile platforms.

The charges usually range from Sh250 to Sh20,000, or slightly more, depending on the type of services and bank policies.

Donald Trump: Forget about the polls and the GOP infighting, I will win in November "one way or the other"

Presumptive Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that he will win the U.S Presidential election in November 'one way or the other'.

The Billionaire businessman said everyone should forget the polls, forget the short list of important endorsements and forget the GOP infighting, that he'll win the elections.

“We're going to go onto a great victory. It would be nice if the Republicans stuck together,” 

“I'm a different kind of a candidate, I think that I win either way. I can win one way or the other,” he said.

When asked specifically of the reports regarding a mutiny of the Republican delegates, Trump dismissed the chatter at once.

“Number one, they can't do it legally. Number two, I worked for one year and we won all of those delegates. And, you know, I guess I'm at almost 1,600,” he said, referring to the 1,542 delegates he’s secured. To win the nomination on the first ballot at the Republican National Convention next month and avoid a contested convention, Trump needs only 1,237 delegates.

Prominent Republican, House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), said Sunday that he would stand by Trump, even if it was out of obligation in order not to create party divisions.

“I feel like I have certain responsibilities, as not just Congressman Paul Ryan from the first district of Wisconsin, but as Speaker of the House. And imagine the Speaker of the House not supporting the duly elected nominee of our party, therefore creating a chasm in our party to split us in half, which basically helps deny us the White House, and strong majorities in Congress,” Ryan said on the same NBC program.

“Now … if something is done and said that I don't agree with that I think puts a bad label on conservatism, then I'm going to speak out on it as I have, as I will continue to do, and I hope I don't have to keep doing,” added Ryan
