White House spokesman Josh Earnest said US officials were checking the reports. Mr Sotloff disappeared in Syria in 2013. He appeared at the end of a video last month showing fellow US journalist James Foley being killed. After Mr Foley\'s death, Mr Sotloff\'s mother appealed to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to save her son\'s life.

West Africa is being plagued by a new outbreak of Ebola — a terrifying disease that causes its victims to bleed to death from the inside out. Ebola has no cure, and the latest epidemic is spreading fast.
 
VICE News visited Liberia, where many feel the new outbreak began, borne from the bushmeat markets of Lofa. Western scientists feel that the consumption and preparation of meat from monkeys, fruit bats, and other forest animals is behind the transmission of Ebola, and possibly a new supervirus, which if left uncontrolled could kill a third of the world\'s population.

Al-Shabab leader Godane\'s convoy hit by US strike, unclear if he was among seven people killed

The US military has carried out air strikes in Somalia, reportedly targeting a convoy carrying the leader of militant group al-Shabab.

It is not clear if Ahmed Abdi Godane was hit in the strikes some 240km (150 miles) south of the capital, Mogadishu.

An al-Shabab source told the BBC at least nine people were killed. The al-Qaeda-linked group has not commented officially on the attack.

US officials say they will release further details later.

The US has carried out several air strikes in recent years in Somalia where al-Shabab controls many central and southern areas.

African leaders are meeting in Kenya on Tuesday to discuss the threat posed by al-Shabab and other Islamist militant groups such as Boko Haram in Nigeria.

The Kremlin\'s media czar on Russian state TV host has threatened the United States with a nuclear strike in his news broadcast which was aired at the same time as polls closed in the Crimean referendum about secession from Ukraine.  The remarks by Dmitry Kiselyov on Russia\'s main state broadcaster came as the United States said it would not recognise the referendum result and threatened further sanctions. Kiselyov is known for elaborate, acid diatribes against the West. His weekly news programme is watched for clues to Kremlin policy and signs of how the government wants Russians to perceive events. Kiselyov is widely regarded as a loyalist of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who in February appointed him to take over Russia Today news agency, a media organisation intended to polish Russia\'s image.

This report looks at one recent campaign video, designed to disseminate their radical manifesto. "These are your passports, O Tyrants all over the world", one anonymous jihadist declares to a baying crowd as he spears a pile of the documents with a machete. Within the organisation's mission to establish a unitary caliphate across the region, such credentials are obsolete: mere vestiges of a by-gone age of national boundaries and rival political identities. "I swear by Allah, we will cleanse the Arabian peninsula of you, you defiled ones." Films such as this, depicting the brutal imposition of a supposedly utopian Islamic supra-state - often by means of summary executions and banning opposing sects from public life - are a sign of the increasing sophistication of ISIS' propaganda strategy. They depict well-armed, organised militants, and are cause for concern for Iraqi ex-pats struggling to reach relatives back home. "ISIS have forgotten the real religion, and now they are full of hate and revenge", says Salahaddin al-Beati, who has lived in Switzerland since 1996. With voices from all sides of the conflict, this report offers a chilling insight into a markedly 21st century insurgency.

Experts have raised concerns over the security of "cloud" storage sites following the leak of intimate pictures of celebrities. It is understood some of the images were obtained from services such as Apple iCloud that back up content from devices on to the internet. Apple is understood to be looking into the issue. One expert said that private data "becomes much more difficult to control" when using cloud services. "It is important for celebrities and the general public to remember that images and data no longer just reside on the device that captured it," said Ken Westin, security analyst at Tripwire. "Although many cloud providers may encrypt the data communications between the device and the cloud, it does not mean that the image and data is encrypted when the data is at rest. "If you can view the image in the cloud service, so can a hacker." Apple has not commented on speculation regarding iCloud's security, nor the celebrity leak.

Al-Shabab leader Godane's convoy hit by US strike, unclear if he was among seven people killed The US military has carried out air strikes in Somalia, reportedly targeting a convoy carrying the leader of militant group al-Shabab. It is not clear if Ahmed Abdi Godane was hit in the strikes some 240km (150 miles) south of the capital, Mogadishu. An al-Shabab source told the BBC at least nine people were killed. The al-Qaeda-linked group has not commented officially on the attack. US officials say they will release further details later. The US has carried out several air strikes in recent years in Somalia where al-Shabab controls many central and southern areas. African leaders are meeting in Kenya on Tuesday to discuss the threat posed by al-Shabab and other Islamist militant groups such as Boko Haram in Nigeria.

The Kremlin's media czar on Russian state TV host has threatened the United States with a nuclear strike in his news broadcast which was aired at the same time as polls closed in the Crimean referendum about secession from Ukraine. The remarks by Dmitry Kiselyov on Russia's main state broadcaster came as the United States said it would not recognise the referendum result and threatened further sanctions. Kiselyov is known for elaborate, acid diatribes against the West. His weekly news programme is watched for clues to Kremlin policy and signs of how the government wants Russians to perceive events. Kiselyov is widely regarded as a loyalist of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who in February appointed him to take over Russia Today news agency, a media organisation intended to polish Russia's image.
