A court in India has found six people guilty of the rape and murder of an eight-year-old Muslim girl. The victim was kidnapped, sexly assaulted and bludgeoned to death in a Hindu temple last year in Indian administered Kashmir. She belonged to a nomadic tribe. Rajini Vaidyanathan is in Delhi.

It's been seen in Turkey as a matter of national pride. State media, they say the players were made to wait for about three hours while passport checks were carried out and their luggage searched. President Erdogan's spokesman called the treatment disrespectful. Some Turks too have been incensed by footage of a man thrusting a dishwashing brush rather than a microphone in front of one of their players while journalists interviewed him. Iceland has yet to give an official response. It all adds spice to Tuesday's fixture.
