An American man who believes rape should be legalised may be barred from Australia

Daryush Valizadeh, a US citizen with a degree in microbiology, thinks rape should be legalised on private property, according to this essay he wrote on the topic.

The blogger — who was called "the web's most infamous misogynist"by The Daily Dot — runs the Return of Kings website, which champions what he calls neomasculinity. He is planning to come to Australia this week and hold "tribal meetings" in a number of capital cities — Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth — this Saturday.

Valizadeh, 36, told ABC he would be making a "last-minute trip" to Australia "to personally conduct a meet-up in Canberra."

Why did two parents murder their adopted child?

Asunta Fong Yang was adopted as a baby by a wealthy Spanish couple. Aged 12, she was found dead beside a country road. Not long after, her mother and father were arrested

One day in late June 2001, Rosario Porto, a petite, dark-haired lawyer from Santiago de Compostela, northern Spain, sat nervously on a flight to China beside her husband Alfonso Basterra, a quiet man from the Basque country, who worked as a freelance journalist. The couple, both in their mid-30s, were on their way to adopt a baby girl. Porto swallowed two tablets of Orfidal – a common anti-anxiety medicine that she had used before then – but remained too agitated and excited to sleep.

The couple had had no trouble persuading local Spanish authorities that they would make good parents and that their child would be surrounded by a loving extended family. Porto’s father was a lawyer who had been honorary consul for France in Santiago, and her mother was a university lecturer in history of art. They had given their daughter a flat that occupied a whole floor of a four-storey block in what some call Santiago’s “VIP zone”, home to the city’s upper middle class. The flat was decorated in the bold tones – blues, greens and yellows – that Porto liked, and full of art, curiosities and colourful rugs from around the world. The child’s bedroom would have wallpaper covered in clouds and suns.

India to review ruling on law criminalising homosexuality

Latest chapter in legal battle between social and religious conservatives and gay community over law passed by British

India’s supreme court has agreed to re-examine a previous judgment that upheld a law criminalising homosexuality, offering hope to gay rights organisations that have been holding vigils and demonstrations in Delhi.

A panel of three judges said the ruling in 2013 would be revisited by a larger bench of judges.

“It is definitely a step forward,” lawyer Anand Grover said as activists gathered outside the courtroom cheered.

The 2013 judgment reinstated colonial-era legislation that in effect outlawed gay sex and stunned many in India, overturning decades of slow progress andprompting protests.

The referral to a large bench of judges is the latest chapter in a long-running legal battle between India’s social and religious conservatives and the gay community over the law passed by the British in the 1860s.

Scottish tourist killed by elephant in Thailand

A Scottish tourist on holiday in Koh Samui in Thailand's Surat Thani province has been killed by an elephant.

According to a government official, the 36-year-old man was riding the male elephant as part of a trekking tour with his daughter when the animal suddenly got angry and shook the pair and their mahout (trainer) from its back.

The man was then trampled on and gored to death by the elephant's tusks.

His 16 year-old daughter suffered minor injuries and is recovering in hospital.

Wongsiri Promchana, governor of Surat Thani, told CNN police are now investigating the trek operator, Island Safari Tour, which is legally registered to offer elephant treks.

cops train eagles to hunt drones

As authorities scramble for effective and advanced ways to counter the increasing number of rogue drones buzzing around our skies, Dutch National Police have come up with something a little more unusual: the mighty eagle.

In what Dutch company "Guard from Above" calls a "low tech solution for a high tech problem," bald eagles have been trained to swoop in and neatly dispose of any unwanted electronic interlopers.

"Two of the most impressive characteristics of birds of prey are their speed and their power," said Guard From Above co-founder Ben de Keijzer in a media release.

MEEK MILL I GOT $68,000 ON MY WRIST But I May Not Be Allowed to Wear It

Meek Mill dropped $68,000 over the weekend on a Rolex ... which might become an antique before he's able to wear it, because they don't allow fancy watches in the slammer.

Meek bought the piece from Joe the Jeweler aka "Shyne." It's a custom-made Presidential Rolex with 23 carats of white round diamonds. 

Here's the problem ... Meek has a hearing Friday in his probation violation case. You'll recall he left the state of Pennsylvania without permission. There are also allegations he tried to cheat a drug test. The judge could send Meek to prison for the violation.

Meek might need a fortified safety deposit box for his collection.
