Education staff were working on that, 20 killed, 40 injured. These are the challenges that people who are trying to help children, are facing every day in yemen. How better to go about protecting them, if possible . Well, all parties to the conflict have to respect civilian life. The massacring of people through air strikes, or killing of civilians in shootings, in paris or aden or other parts of the country, its against International Humanitarian law. The parties to the conflict have to Pay Attention to the issues and to respect human life. Its wrong, it has to stop. What is u. N. I. C. E. F. Doing in yemen . Well, we are trying, with many other partners, like the education colleagues killed yesterday, to provide services to children across the country.

Are you not disappointed that you are not seeing more International Efforts to end the fighting and, indeed, respect women and childrens lives in the conflict. Yes, the deaths are unnecessary. The vast majority of people in yemen have nothing to do with this. They want to go about and live their lives, educate their children, see them grow up. They dont want this. They are suffering unnecessarily. Police in thailand say they have identified two more suspects in the bombing in bangkok. They were spotted in c c. T. V. Footage.

South koreas beginning work to race the sewol ferry that capsized in april last year, killing 300 people, most teenage students. The recovery is expected to cost 70 million i. S. I. L. Have killed a renowned archeologist in the ancient syrian city of palmyra. The antiquities chief said the body was found hanging in the main square of the of the Historic Site on tuesday. The 82yearold was held after they had captured palm rur in may. I spoke to a former director of the department of the antiquities in syria. He was very much asserted with palmyra archeology. He was mr palmyra working there from the early days back in the 50s, until he retired in 2003. And even after he retired he was involved in engaged in everything to do with palmyra, and its archeology and heritage. And, you know, you couldnt do anything in palmyra all these years without actually having him, who is extremely, you know, helpful, and thought of well by anyone that had any contact with him. J why did he decide to stay in syria, even as i. S. I. L. Came and tack over the palmyra area. I dont know. I can only guess. My instinct tell me that hes been closely connected to the city, even thought he could have escaped with when they evacuated the Museum Contents. Which he was very much involved with, he chose to stay behind. As a result, it was taken by d. A. E. S. H. , i. S. I. S. , and clearly executed, unfortunately on tuesday. I think he just felt that he was so much involved in part of the city and part of the culture and the history of the archeology, that he would live and die there if need be, and paid the ultimate price. Why did he pay the ultimate price, what risk did he pose to i. S. I. L. On a personal level, nothing, it was pure vengeance. As far as i understand from those i spoke to earlier today, they basically held him responsible for the evacuation of the you know the Museum Contents. I think the charge was that he was involved with smuggling antiquities which was, in this case, essentially that he had hoped to evacuate the Museum Contents, which saved the collections. What risks do you think there is to other archeologists who may have remained in palmyra. Well, any archeologist that lives in a territories undies is under i. S. I. S. Is at risk. We know of several archeologists threatened or imprisoned over the last year and a half, two years, because they you know, i. S. I. S. Assumes that they have additional knowledge or secret information about where a possible, you know, antiquities might be buried or where in the case of Museum Contents would be stashed. Theyd seek them out, forcing them to divulge the situation. I know at least one individual in raqqa was is essentially harassed by i. S. I. S. Fighters for some time to try to get that information from him. So i think any archeologist living under i. S. I. S. Control is at some point going to be in danger as and when i. S. I. S. Wants information from them regarding where such archeological material is hidden. 10 kurdish fighter have been killed. A bomb ir in a car targeted kurdish Security Forces there a ferry carrying hundreds of refugees left the creek island of cos, it was charted to stake them to the mainland.

But here, floating on a holiday they are far from secure russian president Vladimir Putin visiting crimea, the peninsula annexed from the ukraine. Hes officially there to promote tourism and is grabbing a chance to live up to his action man reputation. Rory challands reports. Russians are used to this sort of thing now. The almost annual excuse for their president to get out of his business suit and prove himself a man of action. On tuesday he boarded a submersible and dived to examine shipwrecks from the byzantine era. 1,000 years ago, and a time of particularly vigorous trade between the eastern and western world. Translation there are so many interesting things down here, so many objects, ancient pottery on the seabed. The view of the ship bed is clear. Experts say theres a lot of work to do. Reporter this was a carefully stagemanaged kremlin media event meant to school russians history and the countrys counter priorities. Vladimir putin described recently annexed crimea of sacred importance to russia. It would appear that vladimir the great was baptised before converting eastern slavs to christianity crimea was a western out post of the the great silk road, the ancient Trading Network stretching to china. Here we are at a center, a crossroads of trade routes, a Meeting Point of europe and asia for many centuries, and it is a geopolitical focus these days too. At this old crimean palace, the architecture at the palace speaks at a time when much of eurasia was under the tatar yoke. The argument about whether the russian sole was european or eastern or oriental is as old as the country itself. At places like this, you can get a reminder of influences, that there was a time where what is modern day russia was part of a bigger mongol empire with its capital in beijing of course, Vladimir Putin doesnt want to rewind the clock hundreds of years and be under asian rule once more, but russia is pivoting eastward, integrating space with china, signing out to beijings silk road belt project.

High winds that fanned the claims continue to pose an elevated risk why california is accustomed to the surveyor fighters. The firefighters can no longer depend on moisture from under cuts and trees. Even alaska with 200 fires raging has not been spared. More than 20,000km of tundra has been scorched. Making it the third worst on record for the state. Know covers more.
