UBER ANGERED OVER LONDON REGULATION PLANS

Uber says plans being proposed in London to regulate the taxi-hailing market would effectively end its operations in the British capital.

Transport for London has been under pressure from the city's iconic black cab drivers to be tougher with Uber.

And it is reportedly suggesting new rules including a minimum wait of five minutes before a car can arrive for its booking - even via an app like Uber.

Thousands of Londoners have already signed a petition against the new proposals which will be put to consultation.

Valerie Shawcross, Labour member of the London Assembly, believes it's time to tighten regulation.

GEORGIA EXECUTES FIRST WOMAN IN 70 YEARS

The US state of Georgia has executed a woman for the first time in 70 years.

Kelly Gissendaner was put to death despite numerous calls for clemency, including from Pope Francis.

The 47 year-old planned the murder of her husband in 1997.

Her former lover, who actually killed her husband, was given a life sentence in prison after co-operating with the investigation.

Kelly Gissendaner was the only woman on Georgia's death row.

And officials announced the execution after a series of last-ditch attempts to block it failed.

A day after Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the US of failing to curb ISIL's spread, President Barack Obama has called on the international community to launch a long-term counterterrorism campaign. 

On Monday, Putin said Obama's administration has been ineffective at restricting certain financial backchannels that have funded the extremist organization. 

While hosting the Leaders' Summit on Countering ISIL & Violent Extremism at the United Nations headquarters in New York on Tuesday, President Obama stressed that with diplomatic efforts ISIL can be defeated.
