*German war graves found at construction site in Estonia*

The remains of some 100 German soldiers have been found during excavation works for the construction of a memorial in Estonia's capital Tallinn. The site is believed to be part of a German military cemetery from World War Two. Experts say the bodies were buried separately and not in a mass grave. Archaeologists will remove the remains which will be reburied at a nearby German military cemetery.

The new memorial is being dedicated to victims of communism. Between 3,000 and 4,000 German soldiers and officers were buried in the area during World War Two, said Peep Reisser, a counsellor at the Estonian War Museum, which is overseeing the construction.

"Probably it's just the corner of the old cemetery so we can't say if more remains will be found," he told the BBC. Work at the site of the discovery has been interrupted and archaeologists will search the area. Some 30,000 German soldiers and officers - who fought Soviet soldiers - were buried in Estonia during World War Two (1939 to 1945), Mr Reisser said.

*Turkey renames UAE embassy street after minister row*

*Turkey renames UAE embassy street after minister row*

Turkey has symbolically renamed a street where the United Arab Emirates' embassy is located in Ankara, following a diplomatic spat between the nations.

The street has been named Fahreddin Pasha Road, after an Ottoman military commander the UAE foreign minister appeared to criticise online.

Abdullah bin Zayed al Nahyan shared a tweet that made allegations about Pasham and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ancestors.

Mr Erdogan then hit back at the UAE.

The original tweet suggested Pasham had mistreated Arabs while serving as governor of the holy Islamic city of Medina in the early 20th Century, and suggested his forces were related to Mr Erdogan.

The Turkish president defended the former governor, questioning the UAE minister over his own ancestral heritage. Mr Erdogan told the minister to "know his place" and said the claims were "slanderous" before going on to accuse the UAE of being spoilt by "money and oil".

A senior diplomat was recalled to Ankara to make a complaint about the post.

*Lana Del Rey Says Radiohead  Suing  Her for Copying “Creep” *

Radiohead are suing Lana Del Rey over similarities between her Lust for Life song “Get Free” and their 1992 hit “Creep,” Lana says. After reports of legal action emerged earlier today, Lana Tweeted, “It’s true about the lawsuit. Although I know my song wasn’t inspired by Creep, Radiohead feel it was and want 100% of the publishing - I offered up to 40 over the last few months but they will only accept 100.” See the tweet below. The credits for “Get Free” currently list Lana Del Rey, Rick Nowels, and Kieron Menzies as co-writers. Pitchfork has reached out to representatives for Lana, Nowels, and Menzies for further comment. Representatives for Radiohead offered no comment to Pitchfork.

It is currently unclear who filed the lawsuit, the members of Radiohead or their publishers.

Following the release of “Creep,” Radiohead were allegedly sued over the single’s similarities to the Hollies’ 1974 song “The Air That I Breathe,” written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood. After an out-of-court settlement, Hammond and Hazlewood were listed as co-writers of “Creep.”

Was Lana really inspired by 'Creep'? Here are links to both songs:

*I beat up my husband anytime he demands sex – wife*

*I beat up my husband anytime he demands sex – wife*

A housewife, Bayonle Bamidele, on Tuesday told an Idi-Ogungun Customary Court in Agodi, Ibadan, that she denied and beat up her husband, Adeyemi Bamidele, anytime he demanded sex for fear of contracting HIV. She said her husband was a womaniser who always brought his female friends to their matrimonial home. She explained, “I have warned him to stop promiscuity to avoid contracting HIV, but he didn’t listen to me.

Bayonle urged the court to grant the request of her husband, saying she was not ready to give her body to a flirt. The husband, a retiree, had approached the court for dissolution of his eight-year marriage with Bayonle on the ground that she denied him sex. He also alleged that the defendant always beat him and threaten to kill him whenever he demanded sex.

“The union of eight years is yet to produce a child, worst still, she denies me sex and beat me whenever I make move to sleep with her. She is a wicked woman, am tired of living with a wife that refused to give me sex,” he said. The President of the Court, Chief Mukaila Balogun, dissolved the marriage and directed the plaintiff to pay N5, 000 to the defendant to pack her belongings from the plaintiff’s house.

*Somaliland passes first law against rape *

*Somaliland passes first law against rape *

For the first time in its history, the self-declared republic of Somaliland has passed a law against rape.

In the past, a victim's family could force them to marry their rapist to avoid being shamed.

Rapists now stand to face at least 30 years in prison.

Somaliland declared itself independent from Somalia in 1991 but is not internationally recognised as a country. There is still no law against rape in Somalia. 
Somaliland's speaker of parliament, Bashe Mohamed Farah, told the BBC that rape cases have risen and he hoped the new law would help stop that trend.

"Nowadays we have seen even people carrying out gang rapes," he said. "The main emphasis of the new act is to completely stop rape."

The new law has come in after years of lobbying by children and women's rights advocates.

*Israeli PM's son sorry over secret tape*

*Israeli PM's son sorry over secret tape*

The son of Israel's prime minister has apologised after an audiotape of him bragging about his father's role in a controversial gas deal was broadcast. In the tape - said to be from 2015 - Yair Netanyahu, 26, is heard trying to persuade gas tycoon Kobi Maimon's son Ori to lend him money for a stripper.

"Bro, my dad now arranged for you a $20 billion deal and you can't spot [lend] me 400 shekels ($116; £86)?" he asks. He now says it was "a bad joke" made under the influence of alcohol. The recording emerged as Israeli police investigate allegations of corruption against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He denies any wrongdoing.

Lawyers for the Netanyahu family tried to stop Channel 2 News from broadcasting the tape on Monday night, arguing that it was "cheap, vicious gossip" and part of a "witch hunt" against the prime minister. But the TV channel rejected the request. The recording was reportedly made two-and-a-half years ago while Yair Netanyahu was travelling through Tel Aviv in a government-supplied armoured car with Ori Maimon, another friend, a government-funded bodyguard and a driver.
