|
 CAIRO (Reuters) - An Egyptian appeals court upheld on Monday the jailing of three prominent liberal pro-democracy activists, the judge said. Last December, a court handed out three-year jail sentences to Ahmed Maher, Ahmed Douma and Mohamed Adel, symbols of the uprising that toppled President Hosni Mubarak in 2011, for protesting without permission and assaulting the police.

| Pistorius retches during graphic forensic testimony |
|
 By David Dolan PRETORIA (Reuters) - South African track star Oscar Pistorius wept and retched into a bucket in court on Monday during graphic forensic testimony about the death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, whom he is accused of murdering on Valentine's Day last year. As the first defence witness, forensic pathologist Jannie Botha, described the multiple bullet wounds sustained by Steenkamp, the 27-year-old Paralympic and Olympic sprinter sat in the dock with his head buried in his hands. Convulsed by sobbing he threw up occasionally into a plastic bucket, as happened during previous sessions last month when the court heard details of Steenkamp's autopsy and reviewed pictures of the blood-stained toilet and bathroom. Pistorius, nicknamed the "Blade Runner" due to the carbon-fibre prosthetic limbs he uses in competition, is accused of killing Steenkamp deliberately by firing four rounds from a 9 mm pistol through a locked toilet door after an argument.

| Jeb Bush says illegal immigration often 'an act of love' |
|
 By Peter Cooney WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Jeb Bush, a potential Republican presidential candidate in 2016, said on Sunday that illegal immigrants who come to the United States to provide for their families are not committing a felony but an "act of love." In comments at odds with the views of many in his party, Bush, the son of the 41st president and brother of the 43rd, said of the divisive immigration issue: "I think we need to kind of get beyond the harsh political rhetoric to a better place. "I'm going to say this and it will be on tape and so be it," Bush said in an interview with Fox News host Shannon Bream in an event at the Texas presidential library of his father, George H.W. Bush.
