| Factbox - India's stringent labour laws | | Monday, June 30, 2014 2:26 AM | |
|  India has a slew of laws and rules that shape the labour market, regulating the terms of work, hiring and firing, and the working conditions. While the regulations are meant to enhance the welfare of workers, companies say they often have the opposite effect by encouraging them to stay small or hire contract workers to circumvent legal restrictions. Newly elected Prime Minister Narendra Modi has set in motion the first major revamp of the archaic labour laws, part of a plan to revive the flagging economy, boost manufacturing and create millions of jobs.

| Jailed Benghazi suspect 'not cooperative' - U.S. congressman | |  The Libyan militia leader accused of being part of the deadly 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, has been "compliant but not cooperative" with U.S. interrogators, Representative Mike Rogers said on Sunday.

| "Legal highs" off the bill at this year's Glastonbury Festival | |  By Paul Sandle PILTON England (Reuters) - Revellers enjoyed plenty of mood enhancement along with the music at the Glastonbury Festival, but this year any euphoria was less likely to be fueled by so-called "legal highs" after organisers took a stand against them. Glastonbury, which attracts more than 135,000 people, joined with other festivals earlier this year to ban the drugs, which mimic the effect of illegal drugs like Ecstasy, LSD and cannabis but are legal and have in the past been sold openly at stalls. Britain's Association of Independent Festivals coordinated the campaign under the banner: "Don't be in the Dark About Legal Highs". England-based consultant psychiatrist Ian Rodin, who is part of the medical team at Glastonbury, applauded the effort to highlight the risks of the drugs.

| Nigeria Islamists attack villages, church near Chibok, 15 dead | | | By Lanre Ola MAIDUGURI Nigeria (Reuters) - Suspected Islamist militants killed at least 15 people on Sunday in an attack on two Nigerian villages, including one targeting worshippers at a church, a few kilometres (three miles) from Chibok, the scene of a mass abduction of more than 200 school girls. Violence in Nigeria's northeast has been relentless in the past year, and has gained in intensity since April, when more than 200 schoolgirls were snatched by Boko Haram rebels from Chibok. In a separate assault on Friday evening, insurgents killed seven soldiers in the village of Goniri, in Yobe state, a security source and witnesses said. Samuel Chibok, a survivor of the attack on Kautikiri village, about five km from where the girls were snatched, said that around 20 men in a Toyota pick-up truck and motorcycles rolled into town. |
