The jury in the trial of a man accused of a British backpacker's murder must "set aside sympathy" for her family, a judge has said. Grace Millane's body was found in woodland คาสิโน   near Auckland, New Zealand. Lawyers for the defendant, who is accused of strangling her, argue she died accidentally during "rough" sex.

Visible progress towards any kind of justice for the minority Muslim group has been painfully slow. But now we've seen three le...

On Wednesday, it was disclosure of an overheard phone call between Donald Trump and US Ambassador to the EU Gordon Sondland dreamgame during which the president may have asked about Ukrainian investigations. Friday's big developments included the White House release of a contradictory readout of the Mr Trump's first phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymy Zelensky and a presidential tweet that had Republicans in Congress scrambling. Mr Trump has boasted that his conduct while in office - blunt language and shoot-from-the-hip tweeting - is "modern-day presidential". If so, welcome to a modern-day presidential impeachment hearing.
