An Australian couple is denying charges of being "secretly involved in the wicked, international drugs trade", as prosecutors in Fiji allege.  Fijian border police stopped former Australian horse trainer John Nikolic and his wife Yvette at Port Denarau last June and say they found a large quantity of cocaine, 65 tablets of illicit drugs, two handguns and 112 rounds of live ammunition on the couple's yacht "Shenanigans" - which was returning to Oz from Florida and a stop in Colombia.  The Nikolics' trial began on Monday, but could take more than a week because of the high number of witnesses scheduled to testify.

With 60 people confirmed dead and hundreds still missing, there are growing calls for someone to be held responsible after the dam collapse at an iron ore mine in Brazil.  Vale, the world's largest iron ore producer, says proper safety procedures were followed before the dam on the tailings pool collapsed last week and sent red sludge careening down a valley.  But Vice-President Hamilton Mourao said the government will investigate:  "If there was malpractice, recklessness or negligence on the part of someone inside the company, that person has to answer criminally," Mourao said.  Prosecutor Raquel Dodge said it was important to hold the company "strongly responsible".

A tornado carved a path of death and destruction in working class districts of Cuba's capital Havana, killing at least three people and leaving 172 people  injured.  The weather service and state-run media warned people that a cold front from the north would caused powerful storms and strong wind, but Granma Newspaper reported that people who had grown "accustomed to these warnings did not suspect the magnitude of what was coming" - the first tornado to hit the capital in many decades.

Greece is invoking anti-racism laws to order an investigation into vandalism at a Jewish memorial, which will allow prosecutors to seek harsher penalties on those responsible.  It honored the country's Jewish community which was largely wiped out during the nazi occupation in World War II.  The University of Thessaloniki, where the memorial was located, vows it will be rebuilt.

Denmark began building a 70-kilometer fence along its border with Germany, purportedly to keep out wild boars and stop the spread of swine fever.  But there are critics don't believe this for a minute.  Environmentalists such as the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) warn that barriers don't mean a lot to wild boars, which have been finding ways to get around them for years, while other animals actually will have their migration patterns disturbed.  Others suspect the Danish government is trying to appeal to far-right voters, especially those with the Danish People's Party which said the fences should be a few meters higher to keep out undocumented immigrants.  Oh, and African Swine Fever - which not dangerous to humans, but is almost always fatal in pigs - has not been detected in Germany.  There are several cases reported in notably anti-immigrant states such as Poland, the Czech Republic, and Hungary.

Authorities in Poland are investigating an abattoir after undercover video revealed sick cattle being slaughtered in the dead of night to avoid attention from health officials.  The footage broadcast by Polish TVN 24 reveals "illegal activities, as slaughter was carried out deliberately at night, in order to avoid official supervision" according to the country's chief veterinary officer.  Police are trying to identify any buyers or sellers of meat from sick animals, which is unfit for sale.  Poland is the seventh-largest producer of cow meat in the European Union.
