Turkey Child Sex Bill Vote

Turkey child sex bill vote; Zimbabwe Veterans Trial; Dodo auction

United Nations agencies have called on the Turkish government not to approve a draft law that they say would damage the country's ability to combat sexual abuse and child marriage. The proposed bill is due to face a final vote on Tuesday. It would allow the release from jail of men found guilty of sexual assault against an underage girl if no force were used and the perpetrator married the victim.

The trial opens on Tuesday in the Zimbabwean capital, of five veteran leaders of the liberation war - they are accused of undermining President Robert Mugabe's authority.

What is thought to be the only complete skeleton of a Dodo in private hands is going to be auctioned in England on Tuesday. We speak to the auctioneer, Rupert van der Werff.
