Woman walks in on her husband sleeping with her mother

<br />
Erina Zhou, 40, of Gokwe, Zimbabwe, became the subject of shame after she had a romantic encounter with her son-in-law.<br />
<br />
Zhou and her businessman son-in-law, Tsiku Usiku, 51, who both reside in
 the village of Madhau, appeared before Judge Nemangwe after they were 
accused of committing adultery.<br />
<br />
The two were accused of engaging in these activities for a while before 
their luck ran out and they were caught. Zhou left her house at night, 
saying that she was going to buy water, but in reality, she went to one 
of the shops that Usiku owns and the two engaged in sex. <br />
<br />
The incident came to light when Usiku’s wife,  Tsitsi Zhou-Usiku,  went 
looking for her husband after her son suddenly became ill.<br />
<br />
Upon entering the store, she got the shock of her life when she came face to face with her mother and husband have sex.<br />
<br />
The distraught wife immediately went to the village chief named 
Masakadza, to discuss the issue. However, rather than getting justice, 
the village head fined them and demanded two goats from the adulterous 
couple.<br />
<br />
A person who witnessed the corrupt transaction, quickly informed the 
court. Masakadza has since been suspended pending investigations, and 
the couple was arrested. </div>

Strong demand for NTMA's first 30 year bond

                        <div style="text-align: justify;">
The National Treasury Management Agency saw strong demand for its first ever 30-year bond today. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The NTMA is trying to lock in record low interest rates that have 
followed the European Central Bank's announcement of a €1 trillion 
quantitative easing programme. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Managers saw more than €11 billion of demand for the benchmark issue,
 far in excess of the €2 billion deal size that market participants said
 would be typical of a benchmark 30-year issue. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lead managers set the guidance at 90 basis points over mid-swaps, 
implying a yield of just below 2.1%. The transaction was expected to be 
priced later today. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like most of their euro zone peers, Irish bond yields have fallen 
sharply in the past year, aided by a rebound in the economy, which 
probably grew faster than any other country in the European Union in 
2014. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <a href="http://www.rte.ie/news/business/2015/0203/677506-centralbank/">Central Bank</a>
 today raised its forecast for 2015 economic growth to 3.7% from 3.4%, 
on the back of stronger consumer and investment spending. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last 
month, the European Central Bank said its quantitative easing (QE) 
programme would involve the purchase of sovereign bonds with maturities 
of between two and 30 years. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The NTMA last month sold €4 billion in a syndicated seven-year sale, 
out of planned issuance of between €12-15 billion of long-term bonds 
this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The agency fully pre-funded for 2015 last year. It plans this year to
 cover funding requirements for 2016 and to refinance bailout loans from
 the International Monetary Fund. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Barclays, Credit Agricole, Danske Bank, Davy and Royal Bank of 
Scotland have been appointed as joint lead managers for the transaction.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Minister for Education Jan O’Sullivan has said she is disappointed 
that a school in Dublin called off a workshop on homophobic bullying.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.rte.ie/news/2015/0127/676035-school-homophobic-talk/" target="_blank">Coláiste Eoin cancelled the workshop by the group Shout-Out yesterday</a>, saying that the "other side" needed to be represented.</div>

<strong>HSE to investigate four cases of syndrome in small area</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The HSE will investigate concerns that environmental issues could be 
behind four confirmed cases of Guillain-Barre Syndrome in the Duleek 
area of Co Meath.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Local environmental groups say four cases of such an unusual 
condition in four years in an area with as small a population as Duleek 
(around 2,500) is highly unusual.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The syndrome is a disorder in which the body's immune system attacks part of the peripheral nervous system.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Symptoms can increase in intensity until certain muscles cannot be used at all. Most individuals make a good recovery.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After meeting local environmental groups in Navan today, the HSE said
 it would now talk to individual patients to investigate further.</div>

<strong>Irish Water registration levels 'improving', says Kelly</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Minister for the Environment Alan Kelly has told the Dáil that 1,030,000 people had registered with Irish Water by yesterday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Minister Kelly said: "The registration levels are improving all the time."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He also said that Irish Water expects to take in €500m in 2015 - 
€271m in domestic water charges and €229m in non-domestic charges.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Answering a question from Sinn Féin's environment spokesperson Brian 
Stanley, the minister said the costs of Irish Water's cost and billing 
will be €22m.</div>

<strong>Kenny hopes referendum passes 'strongly'</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Taosieach Enda Kenny has said that the referendum on same-sex marriage is a straight question about equality, dignity and love.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr Kenny told Newstalk FM this morning that he hopes it is approved strongly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<strong>Clare Daly initiates legal action against Garda Commissioner</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clare Daly has told RTÉ News that she has initiated a civil legal 
action against the Garda Commissioner in connection with leaking of 
information to journalists about her arrest on suspicion of 
drink-driving two years ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tests subsequently showed that Ms Daly was not over the legal alcohol limit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ms Daly said she is still waiting for a decision from the Garda 
Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) on a complaint she has made about 
her arrest.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She had hoped to wait for that decision before lodging a complaint 
but says that as the second anniversary of the incident fell this week, 
her legal representatives have lodged papers with the High Court 
initiating the civil action.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She does not know when the action will be heard.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A second man has been arrested in connection with the incident which occurred at a house near Tulla.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gardaí are investigating all the circumstances of the matter, 
including whether the men had been engaged in a disagreement at the time
 or if the shotgun was accidentally discharged.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The injured man, believed to be in his 30s, sustained a gunshot wound to his upper leg.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<strong>Kim to attend WWII anniversary ceremony in Moscow</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has accepted an invitation to attend a
 ceremony in Moscow to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War
 II.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The trip would be Mr Kim's first foreign visit since taking power in the reclusive state in 2011.</div>

North Korean leader is among them," said a spokesman for Russian

<strong>Australia's detention of asylum-seekers at sea ruled legal</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Australia's detention of 157 asylum-seekers at sea for weeks in June 
was legal, the nation's High Court has found in a win for the 
government's hardline immigration stance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a tight 4-3 decision, the court ruled the government was entitled 
to hold the group of Tamils from Sri Lanka on a customs ship with a view
 to return them to India, where they had set out from.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ruling means they are unable to seek compensation for their month-long detention.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I am pleased with the result," Immigration Minister Peter Dutton 
told reporters in Canberra. "It has vindicated the government's position
 and we welcome the result."</div>
