Australia punished soldiers for flying Nazi flag in Afghanistan
Australian soldiers who flew a Nazi swastika flag over their fighting vehicle in Afghanistan more than a decade ago were "wrong" and punished at the time, Australia’s prime minister said on Thursday, after a picture of the incident emerged. The flag was attached to a military jeep in the photo taken during a patrol in Afghanistan in 2007, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), which published the picture. "The flag obviously was removed and the personnel involved were disciplined," Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told reporters in the Tasmanian state capital of Hobart, without specifying their punishment. "It was absolutely wrong and their commanders took action at the time," he said. Australia,…

The other soldiers and police were killed when militants raided their bases, Qhafoor added.…

Daily Update: WrestleMania 32 fallout; Undertaker done, again?
WrestleMania 32 Fallout Undertaker was selling people that last night was his final match, even though he’s booked in tag matches on the European tour. We’ll try and get more clarification on that but it is said that’s why he left his gloves in the ring. It was also noted that many years after WrestleMania he says it’s his last match and comes back the next year. The number of people in the building legitimately was 97,769, or more than the 93,000 plus that was believed to have been the total last night. I’m not sure how many events have claimed 100,000 in the stadium but legitimately there have only been…

WWE Leeds, England, live results: Miz vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Dean Ambrose
Submitted by Alex White The show opened with a pre-taped recording of Kevin Owens on the screen trash talking Sami Zayn before being interrupted by R-Truth, who did his usual ‘my bad’ routine for some laughs. Owens sold the interruption well and refused to do the rest of the promos. U.S. Champion Kalisto def. Ryback to retain An okay match to start the show, with Kalisto being overpowered for most of it before coming back with high flying offense and a nice reversal out of the ShellShock into Salida del Sol for the win. The ‘lucha’ chant is really over with the kids, and I saw a handful wearing the (£60!!) replica mask. R-Truth def. Bo Dallas…

Possible Ryback contract dispute with WWE
Several sources have noted that there is an issue with Ryan “Ryback” Reeves and WWE, originally scheduled for Monday’s RAW battle royal but absent, with reports of a contract dispute going around. Ryback was in Dubai recently for a tour and flat out said he wasn’t happy with his role at WrestleMania and being in a preshow match. While privately people talk like that all the time, it’s not something considered good for your WWE career unless you are an untouchable level star. At Sunday’s Payback in Chicago, Ryback did a C.M. Punk-esque ring entrance, likely mocking Punk who blamed Ryback for injuring him. In Punk’s infamous interviews on Colt Cabana’s Art of Wrestling podcast, Ryback was one of the people he made fun of for carelessness with his body. He…

New York residents sue over plan to build homeless shelter on Billionaires’ Row
Residents of New York City’s "Billionaires’ Row" have filed a law suit in a bid to block a 150-person homeless shelter from opening in their neighbourhood. The building on West 58th St, formerly the budget-price Park Savoy Hotel, backs onto the city’s most expensive apartment building – One57 – where a penthouse sold for a record-breaking $100.5m in 2015. In its complaint to the New York City Supreme Court on Monday, the West 58th Street Coalition expressed concerns that the building is unsafe and would pose a risk to both its residents and neighbours. Residents are also worried that the homeless shelter will attract crime to the up-market Manhattan…

‘They raped him, they killed him’: Alleged police murder sparks fury and protests in Bosnia
Nightly protests calling for justice for a man allegedly raped and murdered by police in the Republic of Srpska are threatening to topple the government amid claims Western powers have allowed post-war Bosnia to be "privatised" by a corrupt elite. At 7:30 every evening, Davor Dragicevic bows his head, raises his fist, and shouts three words across the neat and tidy central square of Banja Luka. And every evening, his cry is echoed by several hundred supporters in a furious chant: “Justice for David!” Mr Dragicevic has been leading rallies in Banja Luka, the capital of Republic of Srpska, the Bosnian Serb mini-state that makes up one half of Bosnia,…
