www.euronews.com French fighter jets have bombed Islamist rebels in central Mali for a third day on Sunday after claims the insurgents were just days away from seizing the capital Bamako. The continuous air-strikes were being carried out around three towns. Forces also recaptured Konna, a strategically located central town, a day after it was seized by Islamist rebels. Interior Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told French radio: "There are raids happening at the moment, there will be more this afternoon and tomorrow. The determination of the French President is absolute: we must eradicate this terrorism that could threaten the security of Mali, the security of our country (France) and of Europe." Last April, al Qaeda-linked militants snatched control of the north of the country and have recently pushed south. Paris deployed more than 500 troops to help prevent rebels advancing further. Meanwhile hundreds of people have come forward to give blood to help injured Malian solders, after a request from the president. At one centre in Bamako alone, medical staff collected more than 1000 pouches in one day. Mali's West African neighbours are expected to deploy troops to support government and French forces over the next few days. Find us on: Youtube bit.ly Facebook www.facebook.com Twitter twitter.com

Germany and Israel have disagreed over the issue of Jewish settlements on Palestinian land. But Chancellor Merkel stopped short of condemning Israeli actions - actions which have left her European partners furious. Israel is facing increasing isolation on the continent after it announced plans to build 3000 homes on occupied Palestinian territory. Germany criticised the move but didn't join other EU states who called in Israeli ambassadors to condemn it. Relations between the two have been especially tense after Germany abstained from a UN vote which upgraded Palestine's status in the organization.

Footage courtesy of: ABC Current Affairs Show '730', with thanks. Grandfather Tim Holmes and his wife save their five grandchildren by hiding beneath a boat jetty in the sea as a wildfire destroyed their home. A British grandfather saved his family by huddling under a jetty for three hours while their hometown in Tasmania was destroyed by wildfires. The island state has suffered the worst damage from a mass outbreak of wildfires across the country. As cooler weather helped thousands of fire fighters battle more than 130 wildfires, survivors have recounted enduring blazes in Tasmania which destroyed more than 100 properties. Bonnie Walker, a mother of five, whose parents were looking after her children, said that she was "bracing myself to lose my children and my parents," as she described her experience of being cut off from her children and parents in the town of Dunalley after they took shelter in the water beneath a wooden jetty. At 3.30pm last Saturday, Ms Walker, who was out of town to attend a funeral, received a message saying that her parents and children "were surrounded by fire". She was later shown a photo of her family under the local jetty. "It's still quite upsetting to see the image, it's all of my, our, five children underneath the jetty huddled up to neck deep sea water which is cold," she told ABC News. "So I knew that that would be a challenge, to keep three non-swimmers above water. And with only my mum and dad and our eldest daughter." Eventually, Ms ...

French military forces on Monday widened their bombing campaign against Islamic extremists occupying northern Mali, launching airstrikes for the first time in central Mali to combat a new threat as the four-day-old offensive continued to grow. Early Monday, an intelligence agent confirmed that shots rang out near the Diabaly military camp in what is still nominally government-held territory, and that soon after, jets were heard overhead, followed by explosions. The agent insisted on anonymity because he is not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. A Malian commander in the nearby town of Niono said the bombardments did not stop the Islamist fighters and that they occupied Alatona, and on Monday, they succeeded in reaching the north-south road which connects Diabaly to Segou, the administrative capital of central Mali. By sweeping in from the west the al-Qaeda-linked insurgents are now only 400 kilometres from Mali's capital, Bamako. Before France sent its forces in on Friday to stop a rebel advance, the closest known spot the Islamists were to the capital was 680 kilometres away, though they might have infiltrated closer than that. Fighter jets late Sunday dropped bombs in the central rice-growing region of Alatona after a rebel convoy was spotted 40 kilometres southeast of Diabaly, until recently the site of a major, US-funded Millenium Challenger Corporation project. The rebels, said a Malian commander in the nearby town of Niono, were trying to reach Diabaly ...
