| Mass killer Breivik gives Nazi salute as he sues Norway for "inhuman treatment" | |  By Gwladys Fouche SKIEN, Norway (Reuters) - Mass killer Anders Behring Breivik claimed in court on Tuesday that Norway was violating his human rights by keeping him in isolation for murdering 77 people in 2011, but irritated the judge with a Nazi salute at the start of proceedings. Clean-shaven and wearing a black suit, white shirt and golden tie, Breivik raised his right arm in a flat-handed Nazi-style salute on arrival at the court, slightly different from the outstretched arm and clenched fist he used in 2012. Breivik later suggested it was an old Norse gesture, he said.

| Suicide bombing exposes divisions tearing at Turkey's stability | |  By Umit Bektas, Nick Tattersall and Humeyra Pamuk ANKARA/ISTANBUL (Reuters) - "Government resign!" chanted some of the mourners at the funeral on Tuesday of four young victims of the suicide bombing in Turkey's capital Ankara. Far from bringing the nation together in mourning, the aftermath of Sunday night's attack has again laid bare the deep divisions tearing at Turkey as it struggles to avoid being drawn into its neighbours' conflicts. If Turkey continues on this path, some analysts warn, it risks a cycle of violence and a lurch away from the European standards of freedom and democracy to which it once aspired.

| "Asylum Chaos" - German magazine spreads word of rising anti-immigrant party | |  By Joseph Nasr BERLIN (Reuters) - With headlines like "Asylum Chaos", a German magazine is spreading the views of an anti-immigrant party that has vaulted into three state legislatures due to voter anger over Chancellor Angela Merkel's open-door policy towards refugees. Monthly magazine Compact was founded five years ago but its profile has risen markedly since the influx of 1.1 million asylum-seekers last year that has spurred an electoral surge of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Some of its recent headlines include Asylum Chaos, Dictatorship Merkel, Vote Her Out, The Better Chancellor - a reference to AfD co-leader Frauke Petry, and Fair Game Woman, an allusion to sexual assaults by North African migrants.

International rights groups protested after the jailing on Monday of Khawaja, who took her 15-month-old son, Hadi, with her into detention rather than leave him in the care of relatives.

| Iran insurers to compensate women equally in road accidents | |  By Sam Wilkin DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran's legal vetting body has approved a bill that will see female victims of road traffic accidents paid the same compensation as men, in a small step towards gender equality in the conservative Islamic country. The Third Party Insurance Bill, likely to be made law in the coming weeks, will bind insurance companies to compensate victims of road accidents regardless of their gender, state broadcaster IRINN said on Monday. The bill was approved by the Guardian Council, a 12-member Islamic body responsible for ensuring legislation conforms to Sharia (Islamic) law, which had rejected a similar measure passed by parliament in 2008.
