Oscar Pistorius did not have a mental disorder when he killed his girlfriend, a psychological report said as his murder trial resumed.

"Mr Pistorius did not suffer from a mental illness or defect that would have rendered him criminally not responsible for the offence charged," said state prosecutor Gerrie Nel, reading from the psychologist report.

Shirika la Oxfam, limeanzisha shindano la kombe la dunia mbadala.

Shirika la kutoa huduma za kibinadamu Oxfam limeendesha 'kombe la dunia mbadala' kuangazia pengo linalozidi kuwa kubwa kati ya maskini na matajiri katika mataifa yanayoshiriki kombe la dunia mwaka huu.

Ubelgiji imetangazwa mshindi kwa sababu si kuwa ina utajiri si haba bali pia ina mwanya mdogo zaidi kati ya raia wake matajiri na wenye kipato, ilhali wenyeji Brazil imefeli hata kufuzu raundi ya pili kwa jinsi pengo la umaskini na matajiri lilivyokumbwa miongoni mwa raia wake.

Mataifa mengineyo ya America kusini pia hayajafanya vizuri lakini yanasemekana kujitahidi, cha ajabu mataifa ya kiafrika yanayoshirki kombe la dunia hayajatajwa.

Ulaya wataka Blatter ajiuzulu

Maafisa wa kandanda wa Europa sasa wamemtaka rais wa shirikisho la kimataifa la kandanda FIFA, Sepp Blatter, ajuzulu kutokana na madai ya rushwa yanayoindama Fifa.

Kwa upande wake mwenyekiti wa chama cha soka Uingereza , Greg Dyke,amesthtumu kauli ya Blatter kuwa madai ya rushwa kuhusiana na kuchaguliwa kwa Qatar kuwa mwenyeji wa kombe la dunia 2022 yanayoripotiwa katika magazeti ya Uingereza yamechochewa na ubaguzi wa rangi.Mkuu wa chama cha soka cha uholanzi Michael Van Praag, amesema chini ya uongozi wa Blatter ,Fifa imeandamwa na tuhuma za rushwa na ili Fifa kujisafisha ni sharti Blatter angatuke.

Blatter anatarajiwa kutangaza nia yake ya kuwania nafasi kipindi cha tano kuingoza Fifa katika uchaguzi wa Fifa unaotarajiwa kufanyika mwaka ujao.

Kwa sasa wajumbe wa Fifa wanavikao huko Sao Paulo wakijiandaa kwa ufunguzi wa kombe la dunia hapo kesho ambako Sepp Blatter pia amekuwa akitoa cheche za maneno dhidi ya wale wanaoisema vibaya Fifa na Qatar.

Tanzania: House Ratifies SADC Protocol On Finance, Investment

Dodoma — THE National Assembly on Friday ratified the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Protocol on Finance andInvestment which is expected to achieve even economic and investment growth in the region.

Earlier, while presenting the matter, Deputy Minister for Finance, Mr Mwigulu Nchemba, told the House that ratification of the protocol was crucial to ensuring that Tanzania benefitted equally from economic and investment opportunities available in the region.

"Although the protocol was signed in 2006 by SADC heads of state in Lesotho, Tanzania was unable to participate in matters related tobusiness and investment opportunities available in the region, including capital markets such as stock ex-changes, before we were yet to ratify it," he said.

He pointed out that the SADC treaty required member states to participate fully in all the resolutions made by the Community and ensure that all protocols were ratified.

He noted that the protocol's target was to put in place a conduciveenvironment on finance and investment policies for member countries in a bid to go well will SADC objectives including free movement of capital, commodities, human resource and services.

Mr Nchemba said the protocol was also in line with the SADC Regional Indicative Strategic Development Plan which directs member countries to enter into a Free Trade Area by 2008, a Customs Union by 2010, a Common Market by 2015, a Monetary Union by 2016 and, finally, a Single Currency by 2018.

Before ratification of the protocol, Tanzania was unable to take part in decision at all meetings that involved finance and investment matters, according to the deputy minister. The SADC Protocol on Finance and Investment was signed by 14 heads of state on August 18, 2006.

President Jakaya Kikwete was among SADC leaders who appended signatures to the protocol. The opposition in the National Assembly wondered why it took so long for Tanzania to ratify the protocol, adding that if the ratification was in good faith and for the country's economic development it had no objection.

Presenting the opposition's views, Ms Christina Lissu (Special Seats-Chadema) said issues likely to relate to foul play during the protocol's implementation in the member countries should be identified.

She noted that there were provisions in the protocol which needed to be keenly observed if the country desired to benefit from available financial and investment opportunities in the bloc.

Apple Versus Samsung Case Goes to California Jury

After listening to a month's worth of testimony from expert witnesses hired by Apple and Samsung as well as executives from each company, a Silicon Valley jury of four men and four women were tasked with sorting out the latest legal dispute over technology between the world's two largest smartphone makers.

Apple is demanding Samsung pay it $2.2 billion after accusing the South Korean company of infringing five software patents related to smartphones. Samsung denies the claims and counters that Apple owes it a little more than $6 million for infringing two of its patents.

The jury began deliberating late Tuesday and left at 4:30 p.m. PDT without reaching a verdict. The jurors are scheduled to resume deliberations Wednesday morning in San Jose.

A lawyer for Apple on Tuesday accused Samsung of copying key features of its iPhone and iPad products and demanded $2.2 billion in damages.

An attorney for Samsung denied the allegations and argued that its Google-developed softwarediffers from Apple's operating system.

In his closing argument, lawyer William Price referred to an email from Apple founder Steve Jobsindicating that he had ordered employees to wage a "holy war" against Google and its Android system, believing it was a rip-off of Apple's operating system.

Price said that was the sole reason Apple filed the lawsuit against Samsung.

"We don't think we owe Apple a nickel," added John Quinn, one of four Samsung lawyers involved in the company's closing argument.

Quinn also said Apple wants to monopolize the industry.

"They want to attack Google and Android by attacking the most successful Android maker," he said.

Apple lawyer Harold McElhinny told jurors that Samsung's "illegal strategy has been wildly successful" and insisted that Google had nothing to do with the case.

"Despite all the times Samsung mentioned it, you will not find a single question about Google in your jury form," McElhinny said. "Google is not a defendant in this case."

Google spokesman Matt Kallman declined comment on the proceedings.

The four men and four women on the jury began deliberating later in the day.

The case marks the latest legal fight between Samsung and Apple as each tries to dominate the $330 billion annual market for smartphones.

Samsung has captured about 31 percent of the smartphone market while Apple retains a 15 percent share.

A different jury in San Jose presiding over a previous trial regarding older technology ordered Samsung to pay Apple $930 million. Samsung has appealed that ruling.

Google may not be a defendant in the current trial, but evidence introduced by Apple attorneys showed the Internet search giant has agreed to reimburse Samsung if the South Korean company is ordered to pay damages on two of the five patents at issue.

In addition, Samsung lawyers called three Google engineers to the witness stand to testify.

The trial involves five Apple patents that the company accuses Samsung of using to create nine newer smartphones and a tablet. The features in question include slide-to-lock, universal searching, quick linking, background syncing and automatic word correction.

Samsung, meanwhile, has alleged that Apple infringed two of its patents related to camera use and video transmission. Samsung is seeking $6.2 million in damages.

Jobs, who died in 2011, is a Silicon Valley legend revered for launching Apple in his family's garage in 1976. The Cupertino headquarters of the tech giant is a 15-mile (25-kilometer) drive from the San Jose federal courthouse where the patent case is playing.

Prospective jurors were closely questioned before the trial about connections and views about Apple, which employs about 80,000 workers worldwide.
