> Uganda’s defence chief, Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, says the country is withdrawing from the Invictus Games just two months after announcing it would participate. He cited a desire not to appear opposed to King Charles III. The games’ organisers say they have received no official notice and are seeking clarification.
