Violence has erupted over the use of Afrikaans at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. Some students want to see the language banned from lecture theatres, and say its presence is a form of racism. But others think it should remain.
And a Hollywood Actor – Terry Crews – has posted several videos to Facebook about fighting his addiction to pornography.
