| Spain proposes former minister linked to Panama Papers for World Bank |
|
 Spain has nominated as its World Bank representative a former industry minister who resigned following allegations of links to offshore dealings which emerged after he was named in the Panama Papers. The Economy Ministry said in an e-mailed statement late on Friday night that the Spanish government had proposed Jose Manuel Soria as executive director at the World Bank. Soria, who has denied any wrongdoing, resigned as minister in April following reports of alleged links to an offshore company on the British island of Jersey in order to limit any damage to Spain's caretaker government, the conservative People's Party (PP).

| Philippines probes militant bomb link as Duterte declares 'state of lawlessness' |
|
 By Neil Jerome Morales DAVAO, Philippines (Reuters) - Philippines' President Rodrigo Duterte declared on Saturday a nationwide "state of lawlessness" after a bombing police believe was orchestrated by Muslim militants killed 14 people in his home city during his weekend visit there. Duterte, the crime-busting mayor of Davao for more than two decades, said the blast late on Friday at a market outside a high-end hotel had intensified what was already an "extraordinary time" in the Philippines. "I must declare a state of lawless violence in this country, it's not martial law," Duterte told a phalanx of reporters on a Davao street at daybreak after visiting the blast site.

| Jessie J beats copyright appeal over smash hit 'Domino' |
|
 British pop singer Jessie J on Friday persuaded a U.S. appeals court to reject a California songwriter's claim that she stole the melody from one of his songs for her 2011 hit "Domino." The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Will Loomis did not show that Jessie J, Dr. Luke, Max Martin and other "Domino" writers had access to his 2008 song "Bright Red Chords," and that his copyright was infringed. Vivendi SA's Universal Music Group and various affiliates were also defendants. Loomis said he had furnished a copy of his song, recorded in 2009 with his band Loomis and the Lust, to a record executive assigned to "find" and "share" music, and that through her it could have found its way to the "Domino" writers.
