Samia Suluhu Hassan was set to be sworn in as Tanzania's president on Monday while internet services in the country were blocked amid post-election protests, which the opposition says left hundreds killed. State television said the inauguration would be held in the State House where the public would not attend the event, instead of the usual venue, a stadium. The country's electoral commission has announced Hassan as the winner of the election with 98% of the votes.

John Paul "JP" Patafio, TWU Local 100's vice president for its Brooklyn bus division, inserted himself into the suspected messy love triangle at a Queens depot by attempting to demote the rep, who was allegedly cheating on his bus-driver wife with another MTA bus driver at the same depot, the union's disciplinary trial committee said. Patafio did "not have the authority to remove an elected official from his position, absent written charges and a trial," the panel said.
