| Pistorius had no mental disorder at time of shooting - report | |  By Siyabonga Sishi PRETORIA (Reuters) - Oscar Pistorius, the South African sprinter on trial for murder for shooting his girlfriend, was not suffering from a mental condition at the time she was killed, a psychiatric report said on Monday. Pistorius, who competed in the 2012 London Olympics and Paralympics, has admitted to shooting dead his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, but maintains he mistook her for an intruder hiding in his toilet in an upmarket Pretoria suburb. The trial, which began in March, took a month-long break to allow the 27-year-old to undergo tests at Pretoria's Weskoppies hospital after a forensic psychologist brought by the defence testified he had an anxiety disorder. "At the time of the alleged offences, the accused did not suffer from a mental disorder or mental defect that affected his ability to distinguish between the rightful or wrongful nature of his deeds," Prosecutor Gerrie Nel read from a report submitted to the court.

| FEATURE - Poverty, violence drive Central American exodus to U.S | |  By Gustavo Palencia EL GUANTILLO Honduras (Reuters) - Pregnant and with a young child in her arms, 17-year-old Andy Lizette Navarro says she has lost hope for the future in her semi-deserted mountain hamlet deep in rural Honduras, and dreams of America. There are precious few options in El Guantillo, which lives primarily from corn, beans and coffee grown in the mountains all around. Most young men from here migrate north, and the hamlet is now made up predominantly of women, children and the elderly. "Here, in this village, there is no future for me and my children," Navarro said outside her family's modest, dirt-floor adobe home, explaining why she will soon risk the long journey north.
