NIGERIA'S MILITARY HAILS RESCUE OF WOMEN AND GIRLS FROM BOKO HARAM

Nigeria's military says 200 girls and 93 women rescued from a Boko Haram stronghold are not those abducted from a school in Chibok in April 2014.

However, the major operations did result in the seizure of four camps from the Islamist militant group in the Sambisa Forest.

15 000 people are thought to have died in Boko Haram's insurgency and military campaigns against it since 2012.

The kidnap of the schoolgirls taken from Chibok led to global campaigns for their return, but none of them has yet been found.

Richard Dowden of the Royal African Society says this latest operation by Nigerian forces is significant.

Curfew comes into force in Baltimore, protestors still on streets

Police in Baltimore are trying to clear the streets of hundreds of protestors after an overnight curfew began in the city.


President Obama, in an appearance at the White House, said rioters who injured more than a dozen police officers in Baltimore on Monday night were "thugs" who should be brought to justice.


But he said police also had to engage in some "soul searching" after a series of incidents across the United States involving the violent deaths of minor offenders.


Congressman Elijah Cummings of Maryland, a Democrat, was on the streets of Baltimore as the curfew came into force.

Theater shooting opening arguments present conflicting profiles of killer

Opening arguments in the Colorado theater shooting trial have revealed key information about the case, including the fact that two state-mandated mental evaluations found the defendant to be sane.

Defense lawyers admit that defendant James Holmes is the gunman who walked into a crowded midnight premiere of a Batman movie premiere in 2012, but they argue that he was in the grips of a psychotic episode. Holmes is pleading not guilty by reason of insanity.
