This was a chastening occasion for the promoted Exiles and for the competition as a whole. The numbers added up to a low-key mismatch, as Exeter rattled along to their first half-century in the top division, in front of a meagre crowd of just 2,776 spectators, despite new-season optimism and blue skies over the Kassam Stadium. The Premiership rightly prides itself on the abundance of close contests it produces, but this was a procession from the 11th minute, when Rob Baxter’s Chiefs struck for the first of their seven tries.

Nasa has returned some of the most stunning true-colour images of Saturn, showing the planet suspended in eternal beauty alongside its largest moon. The crystal-clear images were produced by NASA's Cassini spacecraft, which has been circling Saturn for the last eight years. Titan is one of the most Earth-like bodies in the solar system and, even if it is 'just' a moon, it is bigger than the planet Mercury. The images also capture the changing hues of Saturn's northern and southern hemispheres as they pass from one season to the next. In many respects, Saturn's largest moon, Titan, is one of the most Earth-like worlds we have found to date. @highlight Pictures show the changing colours of Saturn's northern and southern hemispheres as they pass from one season to the next @highlight Taken by Cassini, which has spent eight years circling Saturn

People of all ages voted, but in @placeholder at least, there was a clearly strong turnout of the younger generation.
Baghdad (CNN) -- Iraqis headed to the polls Saturday to vote in provincial elections nationwide, the first poll in which the country's forces provided security without the assistance of U.S. troops. Elections were held in most of Iraq's 18 governorates to replace local councils elected in 2009. Some provinces -- such as Anbar, Kirkuk and Nineveh -- did not hold elections because of insecurity. Bombs were detonated in the days preceding and up to the election, sometimes killing and injuring candidates. On Saturday, six people were wounded at election centers, four from bombs in Latafiya south of Baghdad and two from mortars in Tikrit north of the capital. @highlight NEW: Analyst: National unity taking a background to sectarianism @highlight There were a number of attacks preceding the vote @highlight Elections are being held in most of the country's 18 governorates @highlight It's the first poll in which Iraqi forces will provide security without help from the U.S.

Mogadishu, Somalia (CNN) -- Inside a brightly painted Mogadishu clinic, Salim (not her real name) sits alongside her seven-year-old son, waiting for a check up. Opposite them, a health professional listens to their nightmarish ordeal. Salim recounts how she was raped and then watched, helpless, as her young son was molested.

In a recent study, researchers found @placeholder in 34 of 35 deceased NFL players whose brains were donated by family members.
Star NFL linebacker Junior Seau -- just 43 years old when he took his own life last May -- suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a neurodegenerative brain disease that can follow multiple hits to the head, the National Institutes of Health said Thursday. Questions of CTE came up immediately after Seau's body was found, with a handgun nearby, in the bedroom of his home in Oceanside, California. CTE can result in Alzheimer's-like symptoms such as dementia, memory loss, aggression and depression, but it can be diagnosed only after death. In a statement issued Thursday, Seau's family said, "While the NIH's findings have provided a measure of comfort, we remain heartbroken that Junior is no longer with us, and are deeply saddened to receive confirmation that he suffered from such a debilitating condition. @highlight Seau's family is "deeply saddened to receive confirmation" of his condition @highlight Seau took his own life in May; his family donated his brain for research @highlight The National Institutes of Health says the brain shows signs of CTE @highlight Seau was one of several high-profile NFL players to take their own lives

England are not meant to be experimenting now after the @placeholder were brought forward, to their considerable cost, to give them every chance of forging cohesive plans ahead of their 11th attempt to win a first World Cup.
Peter Moores was forced on to the defensive yesterday as he attempted to explain the all too familiar story of Australian domination over an England side led by a captain desperately struggling for any sort of form. England were transported back a year to their worst Ashes nightmare on Saturday when they were outclassed by a rampant Australia at the start of a World Cup when they again made a late decision to make significant changes. This time it was Ravi Bopara who was jettisoned at the last minute from an England side who were supposed to have been given maximum preparation time to settle before finally launching a challenge for that elusive first 50-over title. @highlight England were outclassed by an impressive Australia in a 111-run defeat @highlight Peter Moores defended his players but expects them to raise their game @highlight Captain Eoin Morgan is very obviously struggling for form @highlight England take on New Zealand in their next game in Wellington on Friday

But in August, he was declared fit to stand trial after undergoing psychiatric observation, according to @placeholder media.
A judge threw out a high-profile murder case Monday against Shrien Dewani, who was accused of killing his wife while they were on their honeymoon in South Africa. Judge Jeanette Traverso called the state's case "weak" and said evidence fell "far below" the standard needed for conviction. It took years for prosecutors to bring him to trial over the killing of his wife, Anni. Dewani, 34, was accused of hiring hit men to kill her in Cape Town in November 2010. He has repeatedly denied orchestrating the killing, pleading not guilty at the start of the trial in October. South African authorities were locked in a three-year court battle to get Dewani extradited from the UK to face trial. @highlight Shrien Dewani was accused of orchestrating the killing of his wife in Cape Town @highlight Judge Jeanette Traverso called the state's case "weak" @highlight A taxi driver and two other men have been convicted of the 2010 murder
