Uganda Asian airlift postponed to September 1
An AAP Reuters report notes the planned September 1 airlift of expelled Asians from Uganda to Britain is postponed to allow Ugandan authorities more time to verify tax and business statuses before visas. Up to 12,000 to 15,000 Asians may depart on charter flights from seven airlines, with three flights in the first three weeks of the exodus. President Amin vows to Africanize Uganda's economy and extends the policy to sports and European business, signaling possible participation changes in regional cricket and Olympic hockey contexts.

Inquiry began into cause of Princesa Irene blasts at Saint Nazaire
An inquiry commission opened in Saint Nazaire to determine why the Greek tanker Princesa Irene exploded in a storm, killing six and injuring 32. Three blasts ripped the ship, forcing its split in two as water ballast caused it to break. The fore section sank while the aft portion, still ablaze, left 38 survivors or injured aboard.
