Hello, I'm Mary Marshall with the BBC news.

Three senior Kenya officials have been found guilty of contempt after they failed to obey a court order to release a detained opposition politician. The latest row sent us on the opposition politician Miguna Miguna, he was charged with treason for his role in a mock swearing-in ceremony of the opposition leader Raila Odinga. Our Africa editor Mary Harper reports.
A judge has ordered the Interior Minister, the Inspector General of Police and the Head of Immigration to appear for sentencing on Thursday Morning. This marks a dramatic escalation in the row between the government and the judiciary which began during a disputed election last year. The judge told the court it was now the judiciary that was on trial with politician simply ignoring its orders. When the Supreme Court annulled the results of the Kenya's presidential poll, President Uhuru Kenyatta referred to the judges as crooks.

English health officials say they detected the world's first case of the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhoea that hasn't responded to the frontline antibiotic designed to treat it. Doctors have been warning for years that the bacteria was becoming resistant to drugs. Here's our health and science correspondent James Galagia. This is the worst case of super-gonorrhoea ever detected. The man harbouring the superbug had a regular partner in the UK, but picked up the infection after a sexual encounter in Southeast Asia. The main antibiotic treatment, a combination of azithromycin and ceftriaxone has failed to treat the disease. Public Health England said it was the first time anywhere in the world that such a high level of resistance has been found. The sexually transmitted infection can cause infertility and doctors fear it could soon become untreatable.

Researchers are appraising an unusually transparent galaxy which appears to contain no dark matter that was never been seen. Dark matter is considered the essential building block of the universe. Because it has greater mass than normal matter, it's believed to hold the necessary gases together while galaxies are forming. When scientists studied a ghostlike galaxy 60 million light-years from the Milky Way, they found its few, bright clusters of stars accounted for all of its mass. They think this galaxy could offer proof that dark matter is real.
