Pistorius: Prison Release Could Be Shortlived
Pistorius Released; Norway Migrants; Parkinson's Gene
The Paralympic gold medalist Oscar Pistorius, who has just been released from prison to serve the remainder of his five year term under house arrest, could find himself back in jail if prosecutors convince the Supreme Court to change his original verdict from manslaughter to murder.
Norway seeks to return a growing number of Syrian asylum seekers arriving in the Arctic north back to Russia.
And scientists say they've found the gene closely linked to Parkinson's disease.
