A bright orange bus carrying an anti transgender message has been forced off the road after Madrid council  agreed that it incited hatred.

The message reads ‘Boys have penises, girls have vulvas. Do not be fooled.’

A Catholic group, Hazte Oir, had planned to take it on a nationwide tour of Spanish cities.

It is believed to be a response to posters put up in northern Spain by a transgender rights group.

The bus is currently being held by Madrid police.

An Oslo court has overturned a lower court judgement that mass murderer Anders Breivik had been treated inhumanely in prison.

Breivik, who was convicted of killing 77 people in 2011, will file an appeal.

This was announced immediately after the verdict.

The lower court had argued that the long periods of isolation and solitary confinement had been detrimental to his health.

However, the high court ruled that,’Breivik is not, and has not, been subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment.’

They also ruled that his right to privacy, through strict control over his outside communications, had not been violated.
