Physicist Lise Meitner’s brilliance led to the discovery of nuclear fission. But her long time collaborator Otto Hahn, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry without her in 1944, even though she had given the first theoretical explanation.

Major amendments to Bulgaria’s Law against Domestic Violence look set to enter into force on Monday in the face of fierce opposition from pro-Russian parties who say the changes promote LGBT rights at the expense of ‘traditional’ family values.

Responding to anti-violence protests following a brutal knife-attack on an 18-year-old girl in the town of Stara Zagora in late June, the amendments introduce the term ‘intimate relationships’, broadening the scope of the law beyond cases of domestic violence within marriage.

The pro-Russian Revival party and Bulgarian Socialists voted against, incensed by what they called a bid to promote “gender ideology” and boost the rights of the LGBT community given that the term “intimate relationship” encompasses more than simply marriage between a man and woman.
