SOUTH AFRICA CORRUPTION CASE - SETBACK FOR ZUMA

President Jacob Zuma is in trouble again...

A South African court says a decision by the then chief state prosecutor to drop charges just a week before Jacob Zuma became president was irrational.

The charges linked Zuma to a 1999 arms deal worth billions of dollars.

Zuma denied the charges.

The Pretoria high court judge wants these charges reviewed - amid allegations so-called "spy tapes" reveal possible political interference in the original investigation.

There has been an outpouring of outrage from the opposition…..demanding that Mr. Zuma steps down.

It's still not clear whether Zuma will appeal the ruling.

This is the latest in a run of setback for the president - last month, Zuma was found to have disobeyed the constitution after he failed to pay government money he used to upgrade his home.

UK LABOUR FACES ANTI-SEMITISM CRISIS

Britain's opposition Labour Party is facing a crisis over allegations of anti-semitism, just days before crucial elections.

Senior Labour figure Ken Livingstone has been suspended by the party over comments he made about Hitler, a day after a Labour MP was also suspended over posts on Facebook deemed by critics to be anti-semitic.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn denies there is a deep-rooted anti-semitism problem in his party.

Next week there are crucial local elections which are Mr Corbyn's first major test at the polls since he became leader.

Sandy Rashty of the Jewish Chronicle says Labour needs to take the issue seriously.
