| South Africa prosecutors start arguments in appeal court to convict Pistorius of murder |
|
 BLOEMFONTEIN (Reuters) - South African state prosecutors began their appeal to have paralympian Oscar Pistorius' conviction scaled up to murder from culpable homicide for killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day 2013. Pistorius was released from prison into house arrest last month after serving a fifth of his five-year prison term. During the trial, the state failed to convince judge Thokozile Masipa of Pistorius' intent to kill when he fired, leading to his conviction for negligent killing or culpable homicide.

| Turkey detains 35 people in raids on supporters of Erdogan foe - media |
|
 Turkish police detained 35 people including senior bureaucrats and police officers in the western province of Izmir on Tuesday in an operation targeting supporters of President Tayyip Erdogan's foe, Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, media reported. The raids came two days after the AK Party, which Erdogan founded, secured a return to single-party rule, in an election result he cast as a vote for stability but which opponents fear heralds growing authoritarianism. The Dogan news agency said Tuesday's dawn raids were carried out at various addresses across Izmir in an operation against the "parallel structure", a term used to refer to U.S.-based cleric Gulen's supporters in the state apparatus.

| S.Korea to publish history textbooks in bid "to correct bias" |
|
| South Korea's government on Tuesday said it would publish history textbooks for use in schools from 2017, taking a step necessary to strip current teaching of its "ideological bias". The move to stop use of textbooks written by private-sector scholars and issued by private publishers capped weeks of debate about whether it was democratic for the government to dictate how the country's turbulent modern history is taught. Park, who took power in a military coup in 1961 and ruled until his assassination in 1979, is credited with building modern and industrial South Korea, but at the expense of democracy. |
| A lone Muslim campaigns in Myanmar's stronghold of radical Buddhism |
|
 By Hnin Yadana Zaw and Andrew R.C. Marshall MANDALAY, Myanmar (Reuters) - The city of Mandalay in northern Myanmar is a Buddhist religious centre so crowded with temples, monasteries and monks that they can sometimes seem innumerable. Much easier to count is the number of Mandalay Muslims standing in Myanmar's historic general election on Nov. 8. Khin Maung Thein hails from an obscure little party and runs his campaign from a cluttered, two-story home that doubles as the family printing business.
