Muslim fashion for women exhibition stirs controversy in Germany Muslim head coverings have always been a controversial topic, as they embody so many issues, whether womenʼs rights worldwide or Western prejudice and discrimination against Muslims. Now that the first exhibition dedicated to fashion consciousness of women in Islam is opening at Frankfurtʼs Museum Angwandte Kunst, the debate surrounding headscarves has been rekindled in Germany. Titled "Contemporary Muslim Fashions" and first shown at the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum in San Francisco, the exhibition, however, does not aim to answer the numerous political and social questions related to hijabs or burkinis. "The focus of the exhibition is really fashionable modest dress and what weʼre trying to show in the exhibition is that there is a lot of choice for the mass of Muslim women," said Jill DʼAlessandro, curator of the "Contemporary Muslim Fashions" exhibition in San Francisco.

SAS strike ends as pilot unions reach deal with management The workersʼ action lasted a week and forced the cancellation of more than 4,000 flights. Pilots will now get a pay rise and more regular work schedules.

Scandinavian airline SAS announced late on Thursday that management had reached a deal with pilot unions to end a weeklong strike that forced some 4,000 flights to be canceled andstranded over 380,000 passengers. "I can with relief inform our customers and our staff that we now can put this conflict behind us. We have tonight signed a new collective agreement with our four pilot unions," said CEO Rickard Gustafson. Gustafson said the two sides had agreed to a 3.5% pay increase and more predictability in work schedules and job security. Pilots for

the airline, which is partly owned by the Danish and Swedish governments, walked off the job last Friday, mostly in Denmark, Sweden and Norway. The workersʼ action was estimated to have cost the airline 60-80 million Swedish krona (€5.6-7.4 million or $6.2-8.3 million) a day. Pilots had been seeking a 13% wage increase to make up for massive pay cuts that came in 2012, when SAS had been close to bankruptcy. Executives at the airline had said such a pay rise could seriously damage the companyʼs competitiveness.

Fighting climate change by tackling food waste One-third of all food worldwide ends up in the garbage, with industrialized countries contributing the most.

Itʼs raining cats and dogs as Jonas Korn rescues baked goods from being thrown away. It is midday on a Saturday and the Falland bakery in the south of Leipzig is getting ready to close. Five baking trays with cakes, donuts and fruit pastries are lined up on a long counter in the entrance area.

Behind it, ten boxes are stacked with

rolls, croissants and loves of bread.

"If you were to put all this in a trash can, it would be full. It would fill a 120 liter dumpster," muses the 26year-old student. In order to make sure the leftover products are distributed instead of discarded, Jonas has brought reinforcements: three fellow campaigners from the organization Foodsharing. The online platform links more than 50,000 "food savers" with businesses that want to give away food for free instead of throwing it away.

Leonardo da Vinciʼs rebirth of anatomy Leonardo da Vinciʼs anatomy studies could have revolutionized medicine, but they were lost for a long time.

The drawings show insights into the human body that were previously completely unknown. Da Vinci first came to anatomy through art. He studied the structure, function and proportions of the body, which he wanted to understand and depict as realistically as possible. The Renaissance no longer sees the body as a shell of the soul, as it was viewed in the Middle Ages, but celebrates the beauty of the human body.

Sierra Leoneʼs one month fishing ban achieves little Up and down Sierra Leoneʼs 400kilometer (249 mile) stretch of coastline, entire villages depend on the sea. Some 8,000 small boats manned by local fishermen go out every day to cast their nets – their catch a vital source of income in what is one of the worldʼs poorest countries. Without the fishermen, Sierra Leoneans would also go hungry – more than four fifths of the population depend on fish as a source of animal protein. But the countryʼs traditional fishing communities have long complained that their catch is drastically shrinking due to overfishing by foreign trawlers. Giving fish stocks a chance to bounce back In an attempt to counter this, Sierra Leoneʼs government temporarily banned fishing by industrial boats for a month from 1 April.

Turkey: Is mob violence undermining democracy?

The leader of the Republican Peopleʼs Party (CHP), Kemal Kilicdaroglu, had most likely prepared himself for a more contemplative day on April 21, when he attended the funeral of a soldier killed during a battle with Kurdish militias. But the atmosphere among those in attendance at the memorial being held in Cubuk, about 40 kilometers (24.8 miles) north of Ankara, turned out to be tense and when Kilicdaroglu arrived, the situation escalated quickly.An angry mob surrounded the 70-year-old, hurling punches at him from all directions; the opposition leader took a few blows to the face.

Grimacing in pain, he struggled to stay on his feet amidst the violent uproar. Kilicdarogluʼs bodyguards surrounded him so as to shield him from the many attackers. Finally, they managed to escape into a house. But it didnʼt stop there: Kilicdaroglu had to wait inside while the house was besieged, with some of the men shouting "burn the house down."

The attack sparked outrage on social media. On Twitter, hundreds of thousands of users expressed solidarity with the opposition leader by posting with the hashtag #KilicdarogluYalnizDegldir ("Kilicdaroglu is not alone").
