Turkey Car Bomb Kills Two Soldiers

Officials in Turkey say two soldiers have been killed and four others
wounded in a car bomb attack on a military convoy in the south east of
the country.

The blast took place late on Saturday, and no group has yet claimed
responsibility - but it comes as Turkey steps up attacks against both
the Islamic State organisation and Kurdish separatists.

Litvinenko: Crucial Witnesses


The inquiry into the murder of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko resumed on Friday, while this week key witnesses are expected to give crucial evidence to the investigation.

Mr Litvinenko fled to the UK in 2000 claiming persecution and was granted asylum. He died in November 2006 from radiation poisoning - it’s believed this was put in his tea during a meeting with former associates.

LABOUR DIVIDED OVER LEADER

Britain's opposition Labour Party is showing growing signs of division as it attempts to choose a new leader after its resounding defeat in May's UK election.

Former cabinet minister David Milband, the brother of Labour's last leader Ed Miliband, has made his first intervention to warn the party away from a left-wing candidate.

Leftist MP Jeremy Corbyn leads some polling of Labour Party members who will choose the next leader.

But David Miliband says Labour needs more modern thinking if it is to be a viable party of government.
