North Korea latest and biggest nuclear bomb test caused an earthquake in China and Russia - and the political shockwave has reached all around the world.
Donald Trump described the north as a "rogue nation" which continues to be "very hostile and dangerous to the United States".
South Korea has started live-fire drills to 'strongly warn' its northern neighbour. And the UN Security Council held its second emergency meeting in a week.
But stiff sanctions have already been imposed - without stopping the missiles being launched or the test bombs being detonated.
So, what now? And does a military response risk the beginning of another world war?

Donald Trump promised better relations than under Barack Obama, then quickly became surrounded by scandal and allegations that Russian computer hackers helped him win the race for the White House.
Russia denied election meddling, the president's being investigated for treason, he's sacked some of his closest aides and Congress has imposed new Russian sanctions.
Trump said last month said relations were at an "all-time and very dangerous low".
That relationship is even worse now.
Russian leaders say the US order to shut down diplomatic offices in three American cities is a "blunt act of hostility".
That followed Russia ordering hundreds of US diplomats to leave Moscow.
What's behind the tit-for-tat tension?

The US President has signalled more US troops will be sent to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan. He said the United States was no longer “nation-building” and that America will “fight to win”.
Announcing his new strategy he singled out Pakistan saying it must stop providing safe havens for those he calls terrorists.
And he warned Islamabad it had much to lose if it didn't stop harbouring them.
Will the US president succeed in ending America's longest war where others have failed

Egypt had been a long time ally of the United States before their relationship was strained after the 2013 military coup that put president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in power.
But that all changed when US President Donald Trump came to office in January. Sisi was one of the first leaders to visit him at the White House.
Human rights groups have accused Sisi's government of extensive human rights violations.
Now, Trump's administration says it will deny Egypt $290mn worth of financial aid, citing the government's inability to make progress towards improving human rights.
So, is there a shift in US policy towards Egypt?

There has not been a dull moment in the White House since US President Donald Trump took office. In the past eight months there's been a series of executive orders and a string of high profile departures.
Yet the president insists there is "no chaos" in his administration. But the polls tell a different story. His approval ratings have plummeted and members of his own Republican party are questioning his capability as president, with some calling the White House a "sinking ship'.
Trump has become increasingly isolated in recent months, shunned by major business leaders and at odds with his party's congressional leadership. And his comments after the violence in Charlottesville estranged him from more than half the nation.
Many are now beginning to wonder how long he will last as president.

Authorities in Lebanaon say they may have found the remains of a group of soldiers kidnapped by ISIL in 2014.
This follows a ceasefire deal agreed on Sunday between the Lebanese army on one side; and the Syrian government and Hezbollah forces on the other.
And as part of that deal, ISIL fighters revealed the whereabouts of the soldiers' remains.
The ceasefire allows ISIL fighters safe passage to Deir Azzor in Syria - one of the few remaining pockets they still control.
This apparent coordination of the ceasefire indicates a closer relationship between Hezbollah, the Lebanese military and Syrian government forces.
Hezbollah has long been fighting on the side of President Bashar Al Assad. And many say this latest agreement has given it more political power.
So, what will this mean for Hezbollah's future and the power dynamics in the region?

In a couple of attacks to hit Spain this week, at least 14 people were killed when a speeding van ploughed through pedestrians on the famous Rambla boulevard in Barcelona on Thursday .
A woman died of her injuries following a similar attack in a car in the seaside resort of Cambrils nearby. Five men were shot dead by police.
That followed an explosion at a house in the town of Alcanar, 200km south of Barcelona, where bomb makers are thought to have lived.
Authorities said the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils were related and the work of a large cell that had been plotting for a long time from Alcanar.
Four arrests have been made, while seven other members of the suspected cell are confirmed dead.
The attacks in Spain are the latest in cities all over Europe.
Most were claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS), which is being driven from strongholds in the Middle East.
So how potent a force are ISIL fighters in Europe?

There are calls for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen to be blacklisted
Yemen is being pounded on an almost daily basis from air and land. The latest attack came on Friday when a Saudi-led coalition air strike hit a residential area, killing at least 14 people including five children.
On Wednesday, a hotel north of the capital Sanaa, was also hit. Forty-one people were killed and many more injured. The Saudi block said those it killed were militants.
But the UN disputes that and wants an impartial investigation into these strikes. Amnesty International says the coalition 'rained down bombs on civilians while they slept'. And the International Committee of the Red Cross condemned the latest raid as 'outrageous'.
What’s the international community doing about this continuing carnage?

President Emmanuel Macron tries to do what his predecessors failed: reform employment laws.
On a path of profound transformation - that's the promise of President Emmanuel Macron to reform the jobs market in France.
Major proposals have been unveiled aimed at reviving the second largest economy in the Eurozone.
Following years of stagnation, government leaders want to reduce unemployment, limit the power of trade unions and make it easier for companies to create jobs.
Trade union leaders are opposing making it easier to 'hire and fire' workers - and what they say is an attack on employee rights and social welfare.
That fighting talk will test Macron's ability to force change when his predecessors failed.
And with his popularity already waning after less than four months in power, the likely showdown is a further risk to the popularity of the youngest ever president of France.

What's behind the diplomatic breakdown in the Gulf? – Inside Story
This time it's more than just recalling ambassadors.
Land and sea borders have been closed.
On top of that, major airlines are cancelling flights to and from Doha.
And Qatar residents have two weeks to leave the Gulf states in question.
Qatari leaders say they’re astonished at what they call the unjustified decision by seven countries to cut diplomatic relations.
A cabinet statement said the aim is to strip Qatar of its sovereign decisions.
The Foreign Ministry said: 'The aim is clear and it is to impose guardianship on the state. This by itself is a violation of Qatar's sovereignty as a state.
So, how far will this crisis go?
And what will mean for the Gulf Cooperation Council?

Middle East
The Middle East (also called the Mid East) is a transcontinental region centered on Western Asia and Egypt. The corresponding adjective is Middle-Eastern and the derived noun is Middle-Easterner. Formerly, the Eurocentric synonym Near East (as opposed to Far East) was commonly used. Arabs, Azeris, Kurds, Persians, and Turks constitute the largest ethnic groups in the region by population, while Armenians, Assyrians, Circassians, Copts, Druze, Jews, Maronites, Somalis, and other ethnic and ethno-religious groups form significant minorities.
The History of the Middle East dates back to ancient times, with the (geo-political) importance of the region being recognized for millennia. Several major religions have their origins in the Middle East, including Judaism, Christianity, and Islam; the Baha'i faith, Mandaeism, Unitarian Druze, and numerous other belief systems were also established within the region. The Middle East generally has a hot, arid climate, with several major rivers providing irrigation to support agriculture in limited areas such as the Nile Delta in Egypt, the Tigris and Euphrates watersheds of Mesopotamia, and most of what is known as the Fertile Crescent. Most of the countries that border the Persian Gulf have vast reserves of crude oil, with the dictatorships of the Arabian Peninsula in particular benefiting from petroleum exports. In modern times the Middle East remains a strategically, economically, politically, culturally and religiously sensitive region.

Donald Trump
Donald John Trump, Sr. (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessperson and media personality. He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts. Trump's career, branding efforts, personal life, wealth, and outspoken manner have made him famous throughout the country. Since 2015, he is also a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States in the 2016 election.
Trump is a native of New York City and a son of Fred Trump, who inspired him to enter real estate development. After two years at Fordham University and while studying at Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, Trump worked for his father's firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son. Upon graduating in 1968 he joined the company, and in 1971 was given control, renaming the company "The Trump Organization". Since then he has built hotels, golf courses, and other properties, many of which bear his name. He is a major figure in the American business scene and has received prominent media exposure. The NBC reality show The Apprentice bolstered his fame, and his three marriages were extensively reported in tabloids.

On top of that, major airlines are cancelling flights to and from Doha. And Qatar residents have two weeks to leave the Gulf states in question. Qatari leaders say they’re astonished at what they call the unjustified decision by seven countries to cut diplomatic relations. A cabinet statement said the aim is to strip Qatar of its sovereign decisions. The Foreign Ministry said: 'The aim is clear and it is to impose guardianship on the state. This by itself is a violation of Qatar's sovereignty as a state. So, how far will this crisis go? And what will mean for the Gulf Cooperation Council?

The US and other Western nations are worried the vote, could lead to renewed conflict with the Iraqi government in Baghdad and distract the Kurds from fighting ISIL.

Rohingya muslims living in Buddhist majority Myanmar say they are the world's most persecuted miniority. They have suffered years of oppression in Rakhine state - including alleged extra-judicial killings, rape attacks and homes burned down. Close to 90,000 sought sanctuary in neighbouring Bangladesh following a crackdown by security forces in Myanmar last year. Rohingya were blamed then for the killing of soldiers in attacks on border posts. An independent commission led by former UN chief Kofi Annan has released a wish-list to help bring peace between Buddhists and muslims in Rakhine state.

The 14th of August 1947 was the historic day when British colonial rule ended and India won its independence. A new nation was also born - Pakistan. The border lines created on a hastily drawn map. What followed was on an unprecedented level - 15 million people swapped countries as Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs feared discrimination if they stayed where they were. The mass migration cost more than a million lives. There have been three wars between India and Pakistan since Independence Day, divided Kashmir remains disputed, and religious and ethnic intolerance continues. But that has not stopped the celebrations throughout the two countries. A 31-gun salute marked the occasion in Pakistan's capital Islamabad.

A new confidential UN report says after nearly two-and-a-half years of military campaign in Yemen, the Saudi-led coalition is 'no closer' to achieving its objective. The report suggests the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen is failing. Saudi Arabia and its partners have been carrying out air strikes against the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, in one of the world's poorest countries. But despite the coalition's considerable military power, it has not succeeded in its mission. The report says the campaign has led to a further fragmentation of Yemen's political landscape. It accuses all parties of continuing to violate international human rights laws, saying government forces, Houthi rebels, fighters loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh and the UAE are detaining people illegally.

It is a humanitarian crisis that is growing all the time. A week after former UN chief Kofi Annan released a report with recommendations to end years of persecution of the Rohingya people, the situation in Rakhine state in Myanmar appears to be getting worse. Women and children are among the tens of thousands of the ethnic Muslim-minority Rohingya community trying to get across the border into Bangladesh. But Bangladesh doesn't want them. Security is being tightened, and many people are being turned away, and are stuck in no-man's land. The refugees tell of attacks by the Myanmar military, of Rohingya villagers being killed and their homes set on fire. But the Myanmar army says it's launched a security crackdown on a rebel group after coming under attack itself. The biggest obstacle to peace is Myanmar citizenship. The commission led by Annan says all restrictions on Rohingya should be lifted and describes them as the biggest single stateless community in the world. But is the international community listening, and will it do anything about it?

Race relations in the US are causing yet more fury and soul searching – and raising more questions about Donald Trump and the president's apparent support for white supremacists and neo-Nazis. Critics are appalled at his reaction to the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday. A protest by the 'Unite the Right' movement turned ugly. And a woman was killed when a car ploughed into the crowd. Trump has blamed both sides for the violence - infuriating many Americans, including in his own Republican party.

Inside Story - What to do about North Korea?
North Korea latest and biggest nuclear bomb test caused an earthquake in China and Russia - and the political shockwave has reached all around the world. Donald Trump described the north as a "rogue nation" which continues to be "very hostile and dangerous to the United States". South Korea has started live-fire drills to 'strongly warn' its northern neighbour. And the UN Security Council held its second emergency meeting in a week. But stiff sanctions have already been imposed - without stopping the missiles being launched or the test bombs being detonated. So, what now?

Trump said last month said relations were at an "all-time and very dangerous low". That relationship is even worse now.

Egypt had been a long time ally of the United States before their relationship was strained after the 2013 military coup that put president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in power. But that all changed when US President Donald Trump came to office in January. Sisi was one of the first leaders to visit him at the White House. Human rights groups have accused Sisi's government of extensive human rights violations.

Will Donald Trump last through his first full term as US president?
There has not been a dull moment in the White House since US President Donald Trump took office. In the past eight months there's been a series of executive orders and a string of high profile departures. Yet the president insists there is "no chaos" in his administration. But the polls tell a different story. His approval ratings have plummeted and members of his own Republican party are questioning his capability as president, with some calling the White House a "sinking ship'. Trump has become increasingly isolated in recent months, shunned by major business leaders and at odds with his party's congressional leadership. And his comments after the violence in Charlottesville estranged him from more than half the nation. Many are now beginning to wonder how long he will last as presi...

Is Hezbollah stronger after its involvement in Syria?
Authorities in Lebanaon say they may have found the remains of a group of soldiers kidnapped by ISIL in 2014. This follows a ceasefire deal agreed on Sunday between the Lebanese army on one side; and the Syrian government and Hezbollah forces on the other. And as part of that deal, ISIL fighters revealed the whereabouts of the soldiers' remains. The ceasefire allows ISIL fighters safe passage to Deir Azzor in Syria - one of the few remaining pockets they still control. This apparent coordination of the ceasefire indicates a closer relationship between Hezbollah, the Lebanese military and Syrian government forces. Hezbollah has long been fighting on the side of President Bashar Al Assad. And many say this latest agreement has given it more political power. So, what will this mean for...

The refugees tell of attacks by the Myanmar military, of Rohingya villagers being killed and their homes set on fire. But the Myanmar army says it's launched a security crackdown on a rebel group after coming under attack itself. The biggest obstacle ...

Is Donald Trump giving a voice to white supremacists?
Race relations in the US are causing yet more fury and soul searching – and raising more questions about Donald Trump and the president's apparent support for white supremacists and neo-Nazis. Critics are appalled at his reaction to the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday. A protest by the 'Unite the Right' movement turned ugly. And a woman was killed when a car ploughed into the crowd. Trump has blamed both sides for the violence - infuriating many Americans, including in his own Republican party. So where is America heading? Presenter: Sohail Rahman Guests: Matthew Mackowiak - Republican consultant and former White House aide.

North Korea latest and biggest nuclear bomb test caused an earthquake in China and Russia - and the political shockwave has reached all around the world.
Donald Trump described the north as a "rogue nation" which continues to be "very hostile and dangerous to the United States".
South Korea has started live-fire drills to 'strongly warn' its northern neighbour. And the UN Security Council held its second emergency meeting in a week.
But stiff sanctions have already been imposed - without stopping the missiles being launched or the test bombs being detonated.
So, what now? And does a military response risk the beginning of another world war?

Donald Trump promised better relations than under Barack Obama, then quickly became surrounded by scandal and allegations that Russian computer hackers helped him win the race for the White House.
Russia denied election meddling, the president's being investigated for treason, he's sacked some of his closest aides and Congress has imposed new Russian sanctions.
Trump said last month said relations were at an "all-time and very dangerous low".
That relationship is even worse now.
Russian leaders say the US order to shut down diplomatic offices in three American cities is a "blunt act of hostility".
That followed Russia ordering hundreds of US diplomats to leave Moscow.

Egypt had been a long time ally of the United States before their relationship was strained after the 2013 military coup that put president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in power.
But that all changed when US President Donald Trump came to office in January. Sisi was one of the first leaders to visit him at the White House.
Human rights groups have accused Sisi's government of extensive human rights violations.
Now, Trump's administration says it will deny Egypt $290mn worth of financial aid, citing the government's inability to make progress towards improving human rights.

There has not been a dull moment in the White House since US President Donald Trump took office. In the past eight months there's been a series of executive orders and a string of high profile departures.
Yet the president insists there is "no chaos" in his administration. But the polls tell a different story. His approval ratings have plummeted and members of his own Republican party are questioning his capability as president, with some calling the White House a "sinking ship'.
Trump has become increasingly isolated in recent months, shunned by major business leaders and at odds with his party's congressional leadership. And his comments after the violence in Charlottesville estranged him from more than half the nation.
Many are now beginning to wonder how long he will last as president.

Authorities in Lebanaon say they may have found the remains of a group of soldiers kidnapped by ISIL in 2014.
This follows a ceasefire deal agreed on Sunday between the Lebanese army on one side; and the Syrian government and Hezbollah forces on the other.
And as part of that deal, ISIL fighters revealed the whereabouts of the soldiers' remains.
The ceasefire allows ISIL fighters safe passage to Deir Azzor in Syria - one of the few remaining pockets they still control.
This apparent coordination of the ceasefire indicates a closer relationship between Hezbollah, the Lebanese military and Syrian government forces.
Hezbollah has long been fighting on the side of President Bashar Al Assad. And many say this latest agreement has given it more political power.
So, what will this mean for Hezbollah's future and the power dynamics in the region?

In a couple of attacks to hit Spain this week, at least 14 people were killed when a speeding van ploughed through pedestrians on the famous Rambla boulevard in Barcelona on Thursday .
A woman died of her injuries following a similar attack in a car in the seaside resort of Cambrils nearby. Five men were shot dead by police.
That followed an explosion at a house in the town of Alcanar, 200km south of Barcelona, where bomb makers are thought to have lived.
Authorities said the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils were related and the work of a large cell that had been plotting for a long time from Alcanar.
Four arrests have been made, while seven other members of the suspected cell are confirmed dead.
The attacks in Spain are the latest in cities all over Europe.
Most were claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS), which is being driven from strongholds in the Middle East.

There are calls for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen to be blacklisted
Yemen is being pounded on an almost daily basis from air and land. The latest attack came on Friday when a Saudi-led coalition air strike hit a residential area, killing at least 14 people including five children.
On Wednesday, a hotel north of the capital Sanaa, was also hit. Forty-one people were killed and many more injured. The Saudi block said those it killed were militants.
But the UN disputes that and wants an impartial investigation into these strikes. Amnesty International says the coalition 'rained down bombs on civilians while they slept'. And the International Committee of the Red Cross condemned the latest raid as 'outrageous'.

President Emmanuel Macron tries to do what his predecessors failed: reform employment laws.
On a path of profound transformation - that's the promise of President Emmanuel Macron to reform the jobs market in France.
Major proposals have been unveiled aimed at reviving the second largest economy in the Eurozone.
Following years of stagnation, government leaders want to reduce unemployment, limit the power of trade unions and make it easier for companies to create jobs.
Trade union leaders are opposing making it easier to 'hire and fire' workers - and what they say is an attack on employee rights and social welfare.
That fighting talk will test Macron's ability to force change when his predecessors failed.
And with his popularity already waning after less than four months in power, the likely showdown is a further risk to the popularity of the youngest ever president of France.

What's behind the diplomatic breakdown in the Gulf? – Inside Story
This time it's more than just recalling ambassadors.
Land and sea borders have been closed.
On top of that, major airlines are cancelling flights to and from Doha.
And Qatar residents have two weeks to leave the Gulf states in question.
Qatari leaders say they’re astonished at what they call the unjustified decision by seven countries to cut diplomatic relations.
A cabinet statement said the aim is to strip Qatar of its sovereign decisions.
The Foreign Ministry said: 'The aim is clear and it is to impose guardianship on the state. This by itself is a violation of Qatar's sovereignty as a state.
So, how far will this crisis go?
And what will mean for the Gulf Cooperation Council?

What's behind the diplomatic breakdown in the Gulf? – Inside Story
This time it's more than just recalling ambassadors.
Land and sea borders have been closed.
On top of that, major airlines are cancelling flights to and from Doha.
And Qatar residents have two weeks to leave the Gulf states in question.
Qatari leaders say they’re astonished at what they call the unjustified decision by seven countries to cut diplomatic relations.
A cabinet statement said the aim is to strip Qatar of its sovereign decisions.
The Foreign Ministry said: 'The aim is clear and it is to impose guardianship on the state. This by itself is a violation of Qatar's sovereignty as a state.
So, how far will this crisis go?
And what will mean for the Gulf Cooperation Council?

The Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq says the date to hold an independence referendum has been set and won't be changed.
That was in response to a request by US secretary of state Rex Tillerson to postpone the referendum.
During a telephone call on Thursday, Tillerson told Masoud Barzani that he favours dialogue instead, between the Kurdish region and the Iraqi government.
The US and other Western nations are worried the vote, could lead to renewed conflict with the Iraqi government in Baghdad and distract the Kurds from fighting ISIL.
Turkey, Iran and Syria which also have large Kurdish populations all oppose an independent Kurdish state.

Rohingya muslims living in Buddhist majority Myanmar say they are the world's most persecuted miniority. They have suffered years of oppression in Rakhine state - including alleged extra-judicial killings, rape attacks and homes burned down.
Close to 90,000 sought sanctuary in neighbouring Bangladesh following a crackdown by security forces in Myanmar last year.
Rohingya were blamed then for the killing of soldiers in attacks on border posts.
An independent commission led by former UN chief Kofi Annan has released a wish-list to help bring peace between Buddhists and muslims in Rakhine state.
Will Aung San Suu Kyi's government throw its full weight behind the Commission's recommendations?

The 14th of August 1947 was the historic day when British colonial rule ended and India won its independence.
A new nation was also born - Pakistan. The border lines created on a hastily drawn map.
What followed was on an unprecedented level - 15 million people swapped countries as Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs feared discrimination if they stayed where they were. The mass migration cost more than a million lives.
There have been three wars between India and Pakistan since Independence Day, divided Kashmir remains disputed, and religious and ethnic intolerance continues.
But that has not stopped the celebrations throughout the two countries. A 31-gun salute marked the occasion in Pakistan's capital Islamabad.

A new confidential UN report says after nearly two-and-a-half years of military campaign in Yemen, the Saudi-led coalition is 'no closer' to achieving its objective.
The report suggests the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen is failing.
Saudi Arabia and its partners have been carrying out air strikes against the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, in one of the world's poorest countries.
But despite the coalition's considerable military power, it has not succeeded in its mission.
The report says the campaign has led to a further fragmentation of Yemen's political landscape.
It accuses all parties of continuing to violate international human rights laws, saying government forces, Houthi rebels, fighters loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh and the UAE are detaining people illegally.
So, how to stop this conflict?

It is a humanitarian crisis that is growing all the time. A week after former UN chief Kofi Annan released a report with recommendations to end years of persecution of the Rohingya people, the situation in Rakhine state in Myanmar appears to be getting worse.
Women and children are among the tens of thousands of the ethnic Muslim-minority Rohingya community trying to get across the border into Bangladesh. But Bangladesh doesn't want them. Security is being tightened, and many people are being turned away, and are stuck in no-man's land.
The refugees tell of attacks by the Myanmar military, of Rohingya villagers being killed and their homes set on fire. But the
Myanmar army says it's launched a security crackdown on a rebel group after coming under attack itself.
The biggest obstacle to peace is Myanmar citizenship. The commission led by Annan says all restrictions on Rohingya should be lifted and describes them as the biggest single stateless community in the world.
But is the international community listening, and will it do anything about it?

North Korea latest and biggest nuclear bomb test caused an earthquake in China and Russia - and the political shockwave has reached all around the world. Donald Trump described the north as a "rogue nation" which continues to be "very hostile and dangerous to the United States". South Korea has started live-fire drills to 'strongly warn' its northern neighbour. And the UN Security Council held its second emergency meeting in a week. But stiff sanctions have already been imposed - without stopping the missiles being launched or the test bombs being detonated. So, what now?

Donald Trump promised better relations than under Barack Obama, then quickly became surrounded by scandal and allegations that Russian computer hackers helped him win the race for the White House. Russia denied election meddling, the president's being investigated for treason, he's sacked some of his closest aides and Congress has imposed new Russian sanctions. Trump said last month said relations were at an "all-time and very dangerous low". That relationship is even worse now. Russian leaders say the US order to shut down diplomatic offices in three American cities is a "blunt act of hostility". That followed Russia ordering hundreds of US diplomats to leave Moscow.

Egypt had been a long time ally of the United States before their relationship was strained after the 2013 military coup that put president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in power. But that all changed when US President Donald Trump came to office in January. Sisi was one of the first leaders to visit him at the White House. Human rights groups have accused Sisi's government of extensive human rights violations.

Will Donald Trump last through his first full term as US president?
There has not been a dull moment in the White House since US President Donald Trump took office. In the past eight months there's been a series of executive orders and a string of high profile departures. Yet the president insists there is "no chaos" in his administration. But the polls tell a different story. His approval ratings have plummeted and members of his own Republican party are questioning his capability as president, with some calling the White House a "sinking ship'. Trump has become increasingly isolated in recent months, shunned by major business leaders and at odds with his party's congressional leadership. And his comments after the violence in Charlottesville estranged him from more than half the nation. Many are now beginning to wonder how long he will last as presi...

Is Hezbollah stronger after its involvement in Syria?
Authorities in Lebanaon say they may have found the remains of a group of soldiers kidnapped by ISIL in 2014. This follows a ceasefire deal agreed on Sunday between the Lebanese army on one side; and the Syrian government and Hezbollah forces on the other. And as part of that deal, ISIL fighters revealed the whereabouts of the soldiers' remains. The ceasefire allows ISIL fighters safe passage to Deir Azzor in Syria - one of the few remaining pockets they still control. This apparent coordination of the ceasefire indicates a closer relationship between Hezbollah, the Lebanese military and Syrian government forces. Hezbollah has long been fighting on the side of President Bashar Al Assad. And many say this latest agreement has given it more political power. So, what will this mean for...

In a couple of attacks to hit Spain this week, at least 14 people were killed when a speeding van ploughed through pedestrians on the famous Rambla boulevard in Barcelona on Thursday . A woman died of her injuries following a similar attack in a car in the seaside resort of Cambrils nearby. Five men were shot dead by police. That followed an explosion at a house in the town of Alcanar, 200km south of Barcelona, where bomb makers are thought to have lived. Authorities said the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils were related and the work of a large cell that had been plotting for a long time from Alcanar. Four arrests have been made, while seven other members of the suspected cell are confirmed dead. The attacks in Spain are the latest in cities all over Europe. Most were claimed by th...

For years the West has put up with North Korea’s threats and colourful prose. But now the US President is using similar language, and the world is forced to take notice.

Who can protect Yemen's civilians? - Inside Story
There are calls for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen to be blacklisted Yemen is being pounded on an almost daily basis from air and land. The latest attack came on Friday when a Saudi-led coalition air strike hit a residential area, killing at least 14 people including five children. On Wednesday, a hotel north of the capital Sanaa, was also hit. Forty-one people were killed and many more injured. The Saudi block said those it killed were militants. But the UN disputes that and wants an impartial investigation into these strikes. Amnesty International says the coalition 'rained down bombs on civilians while they slept'. And the International Committee of the Red Cross condemned the latest raid as 'outrageous'. What’s the international community doing about this continuing carnage? Pres...

Inside Story - Can the French economy be fixed?
President Emmanuel Macron tries to do what his predecessors failed: reform employment laws. On a path of profound transformation - that's the promise of President Emmanuel Macron to reform the jobs market in France. Major proposals have been unveiled aimed at reviving the second largest economy in the Eurozone. Following years of stagnation, government leaders want to reduce unemployment, limit the power of trade unions and make it easier for companies to create jobs. Trade union leaders are opposing making it easier to 'hire and fire' workers - and what they say is an attack on employee rights and social welfare. That fighting talk will test Macron's ability to force change when his predecessors failed. And with his popularity already waning after less than four months in power, the likel...

What's behind the diplomatic breakdown in the Gulf? – Inside Story This time it's more than just recalling ambassadors. Land and sea borders have been closed. On top of that, major airlines are cancelling flights to and from Doha. And Qatar residents have two weeks to leave the Gulf states in question. Qatari leaders say they’re astonished at what they call the unjustified decision by seven countries to cut diplomatic relations. A cabinet statement said the aim is to strip Qatar of its sovereign decisions. The Foreign Ministry said: 'The aim is clear and it is to impose guardianship on the state. This by itself is a violation of Qatar's sovereignty as a state. So, how far will this crisis go? And what will mean for the Gulf Cooperation Council? Presenter: Kamahl Santamaria Gu...

Is it the end for Thailand's Shinawatra dynasty?
She made history six years ago by becoming Thailand's first female prime minister. Now she’s a fugitive – just like her brother Thaksin who was also prime minister – and wanted for corruption at home.

Inside Story - A recipe for renewed unrest in Kenya?
The president of Kenya has reacted to the Supreme Court’s annulment of his re-election by saying there’s a ‘problem’ with the judiciary which must be 'fixed'. Uhuru Kenyatta's also described the judges as crooks and thugs. His rival Raila Odinga - who complained last month's vote was fixed - is calling for leaders of the election commission to face criminal charges. Its been ordered to re-run the election in the next two months - and pressure is mounting on the commission to ensure a fair vote. So, what's next for Kenya?

Inside Story - Can Iraq's Kurdish region gain independence?
The Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq says the date to hold an independence referendum has been set and won't be changed. That was in response to a request by US secretary of state Rex Tillerson to postpone the referendum. During a telephone call on Thursday, Tillerson told Masoud Barzani that he favours dialogue instead, between the Kurdish region and the Iraqi government. The US and other Western nations are worried the vote, could lead to renewed conflict with the Iraqi government in Baghdad and distract the Kurds from fighting ISIL. Turkey, Iran and Syria which also have large Kurdish populations all oppose an independent Kurdish state. So, could this vote lead to an independent Kurdish state? and what will that mean for Iraq and the region? Presenter: Imran Kh...

Inside Story - Will Myanmar honour recommendations for persecuted Muslim Rohingya minority?
Rohingya muslims living in Buddhist majority Myanmar say they are the world's most persecuted miniority. They have suffered years of oppression in Rakhine state - including alleged extra-judicial killings, rape attacks and homes burned down. Close to 90,000 sought sanctuary in neighbouring Bangladesh following a crackdown by security forces in Myanmar last year. Rohingya were blamed then for the killing of soldiers in attacks on border posts. An independent commission led by former UN chief Kofi Annan has released a wish-list to help bring peace between Buddhists and muslims in Rakhine state. Will Aung San Suu Kyi's government throw its full weight behind the Commission's recommendations? Or is more violence inevitable if grievances continue to be ignored. Presenter: Richelle Carey G...

What is the legacy of Indian subcontinent partition?
The 14th of August 1947 was the historic day when British colonial rule ended and India won its independence. A new nation was also born - Pakistan. The border lines created on a hastily drawn map. What followed was on an unprecedented level - 15 million people swapped countries as Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs feared discrimination if they stayed where they were. The mass migration cost more than a million lives. There have been three wars between India and Pakistan since Independence Day, divided Kashmir remains disputed, and religious and ethnic intolerance continues. But that has not stopped the celebrations throughout the two countries. A 31-gun salute marked the occasion in Pakistan's capital Islamabad.

Inside Story - Is the Saudi-led coalition failing in Yemen?
A new confidential UN report says after nearly two-and-a-half years of military campaign in Yemen, the Saudi-led coalition is 'no closer' to achieving its objective. The report suggests the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen is failing. Saudi Arabia and its partners have been carrying out air strikes against the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, in one of the world's poorest countries. But despite the coalition's considerable military power, it has not succeeded in its mission. The report says the campaign has led to a further fragmentation of Yemen's political landscape. It accuses all parties of continuing to violate international human rights laws, saying government forces, Houthi rebels, fighters loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh and the UAE are detaining people illegally. ...

It is a humanitarian crisis that is growing all the time. A week after former UN chief Kofi Annan released a report with recommendations to end years of persecution of the Rohingya people, the situation in Rakhine state in Myanmar appears to be getting worse. Women and children are among the tens of thousands of the ethnic Muslim-minority Rohingya community trying to get across the border into Bangladesh. But Bangladesh doesn't want them. Security is being tightened, and many people are being turned away, and are stuck in no-man's land. The refugees tell of attacks by the Myanmar military, of Rohingya villagers being killed and their homes set on fire. But the Myanmar army says it's launched a security crackdown on a rebel group after coming under attack itself. The biggest obstacle ...

Is Donald Trump giving a voice to white supremacists?
Race relations in the US are causing yet more fury and soul searching – and raising more questions about Donald Trump and the president's apparent support for white supremacists and neo-Nazis. Critics are appalled at his reaction to the violent protests in Charlottesville, Virginia on Saturday. A protest by the 'Unite the Right' movement turned ugly. And a woman was killed when a car ploughed into the crowd. Trump has blamed both sides for the violence - infuriating many Americans, including in his own Republican party.

Donald Trump described the north as a "rogue nation" which continues to be "very hostile and dangerous to the United States".

But stiff sanctions have already been imposed - without stopping the missiles being launched or the test bombs being detonated.

Donald Trump promised better relations than under Barack Obama, then quickly became surrounded by scandal and allegations that Russian computer hackers helped him win the race for the White House.
Russia denied election meddling, the president's being investigated for treason, he's sacked some of his closest aides and Congress has imposed new Russian sanctions.
Trump said last month said relations were at an "all-time and very dangerous low".
That relationship is even worse now.

Egypt had been a long time ally of the United States before their relationship was strained after the 2013 military coup that put president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in power.
But that all changed when US President Donald Trump came to office in January. Sisi was one of the first leaders to visit him at the White House.
Human rights groups have accused Sisi's government of extensive human rights violations.
Now, Trump's administration says it will deny Egypt $290mn worth of financial aid, citing the government's inability to make progress towards improving human rights.

There has not been a dull moment in the White House since US President Donald Trump took office. In the past eight months there's been a series of executive orders and a string of high profile departures.
Yet the president insists there is "no chaos" in his administration. But the polls tell a different story. His approval ratings have plummeted and members of his own Republican party are questioning his capability as president, with some calling the White House a "sinking ship'.
Trump has become increasingly isolated in recent months, shunned by major business leaders and at odds with his party's congressional leadership. And his comments after the violence in Charlottesville estranged him from more than half the nation.
Many are now beginning to wonder how long he will last as president.

Authorities in Lebanaon say they may have found the remains of a group of soldiers kidnapped by ISIL in 2014.
This follows a ceasefire deal agreed on Sunday between the Lebanese army on one side; and the Syrian government and Hezbollah forces on the other.
And as part of that deal, ISIL fighters revealed the whereabouts of the soldiers' remains.
The ceasefire allows ISIL fighters safe passage to Deir Azzor in Syria - one of the few remaining pockets they still control.
This apparent coordination of the ceasefire indicates a closer relationship between Hezbollah, the Lebanese military and Syrian government forces.
Hezbollah has long been fighting on the side of President Bashar Al Assad. And many say this latest agreement has given it more political power.

In a couple of attacks to hit Spain this week, at least 14 people were killed when a speeding van ploughed through pedestrians on the famous Rambla boulevard in Barcelona on Thursday .
A woman died of her injuries following a similar attack in a car in the seaside resort of Cambrils nearby. Five men were shot dead by police.
That followed an explosion at a house in the town of Alcanar, 200km south of Barcelona, where bomb makers are thought to have lived.
Authorities said the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils were related and the work of a large cell that had been plotting for a long time from Alcanar.
Four arrests have been made, while seven other members of the suspected cell are confirmed dead.
The attacks in Spain are the latest in cities all over Europe.
Most were claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS), which is being driven from strongholds in the Middle East.

There are calls for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen to be blacklisted
Yemen is being pounded on an almost daily basis from air and land. The latest attack came on Friday when a Saudi-led coalition air strike hit a residential area, killing at least 14 people including five children.
On Wednesday, a hotel north of the capital Sanaa, was also hit. Forty-one people were killed and many more injured. The Saudi block said those it killed were militants.
But the UN disputes that and wants an impartial investigation into these strikes. Amnesty International says the coalition 'rained down bombs on civilians while they slept'. And the International Committee of the Red Cross condemned the latest raid as 'outrageous'.
What’s the international community doing about this continuing carnage?

President Emmanuel Macron tries to do what his predecessors failed: reform employment laws.
On a path of profound transformation - that's the promise of President Emmanuel Macron to reform the jobs market in France.
Major proposals have been unveiled aimed at reviving the second largest economy in the Eurozone.
Following years of stagnation, government leaders want to reduce unemployment, limit the power of trade unions and make it easier for companies to create jobs.
Trade union leaders are opposing making it easier to 'hire and fire' workers - and what they say is an attack on employee rights and social welfare.
That fighting talk will test Macron's ability to force change when his predecessors failed.
And with his popularity already waning after less than four months in power, the likely showdown is a further risk to the popularity of the youngest ever president of France.

This time it's more than just recalling ambassadors.
Land and sea borders have been closed.
On top of that, major airlines are cancelling flights to and from Doha.
And Qatar residents have two weeks to leave the Gulf states in question.
Qatari leaders say they’re astonished at what they call the unjustified decision by seven countries to cut diplomatic relations.
A cabinet statement said the aim is to strip Qatar of its sovereign decisions.
The Foreign Ministry said: 'The aim is clear and it is to impose guardianship on the state. This by itself is a violation of Qatar's sovereignty as a state.

The Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq says the date to hold an independence referendum has been set and won't be changed.
That was in response to a request by US secretary of state Rex Tillerson to postpone the referendum.
During a telephone call on Thursday, Tillerson told Masoud Barzani that he favours dialogue instead, between the Kurdish region and the Iraqi government.
The US and other Western nations are worried the vote, could lead to renewed conflict with the Iraqi government in Baghdad and distract the Kurds from fighting ISIL.
Turkey, Iran and Syria which also have large Kurdish populations all oppose an independent Kurdish state.

Rohingya muslims living in Buddhist majority Myanmar say they are the world's most persecuted miniority. They have suffered years of oppression in Rakhine state - including alleged extra-judicial killings, rape attacks and homes burned down.
Close to 90,000 sought sanctuary in neighbouring Bangladesh following a crackdown by security forces in Myanmar last year.
Rohingya were blamed then for the killing of soldiers in attacks on border posts.
An independent commission led by former UN chief Kofi Annan has released a wish-list to help bring peace between Buddhists and muslims in Rakhine state.
Will Aung San Suu Kyi's government throw its full weight behind the Commission's recommendations?
Or is more violence inevitable if grievances continue to be ignored.

The 14th of August 1947 was the historic day when British colonial rule ended and India won its independence.
A new nation was also born - Pakistan. The border lines created on a hastily drawn map.
What followed was on an unprecedented level - 15 million people swapped countries as Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs feared discrimination if they stayed where they were. The mass migration cost more than a million lives.
There have been three wars between India and Pakistan since Independence Day, divided Kashmir remains disputed, and religious and ethnic intolerance continues.
But that has not stopped the celebrations throughout the two countries. A 31-gun salute marked the occasion in Pakistan's capital Islamabad.

A new confidential UN report says after nearly two-and-a-half years of military campaign in Yemen, the Saudi-led coalition is 'no closer' to achieving its objective.
The report suggests the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen is failing.
Saudi Arabia and its partners have been carrying out air strikes against the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, in one of the world's poorest countries.
But despite the coalition's considerable military power, it has not succeeded in its mission.
The report says the campaign has led to a further fragmentation of Yemen's political landscape.
It accuses all parties of continuing to violate international human rights laws, saying government forces, Houthi rebels, fighters loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh and the UAE are detaining people illegally.
So, how to stop this conflict?

It is a humanitarian crisis that is growing all the time. A week after former UN chief Kofi Annan released a report with recommendations to end years of persecution of the Rohingya people, the situation in Rakhine state in Myanmar appears to be getting worse.
Women and children are among the tens of thousands of the ethnic Muslim-minority Rohingya community trying to get across the border into Bangladesh. But Bangladesh doesn't want them. Security is being tightened, and many people are being turned away, and are stuck in no-man's land.
The refugees tell of attacks by the Myanmar military, of Rohingya villagers being killed and their homes set on fire. But the
Myanmar army says it's launched a security crackdown on a rebel group after coming under attack itself.
The biggest obstacle to peace is Myanmar citizenship. The commission led by Annan says all restrictions on Rohingya should be lifted and describes them as the biggest single stateless community in the world.
But is the international community listening, and will it do anything about it?

Donald Trump described the north as a "rogue nation" which continues to be "very hostile and dangerous to the United States". South Korea has started live-fire drills to 'strongly warn' its northern neighbour. And the UN Security Council held its second emergency meeting in a week. But stiff sanctions have already been imposed - without stopping the missiles being launched or the test bombs being detonated. So, what now? And does a military response risk the beginning of another world war? Presenter: Jane Dutton Guests: Isaac Stone Fish - Center on US-China relations.

Are the US and Russia engaged in a new Cold War?
Donald Trump promised better relations than under Barack Obama, then quickly became surrounded by scandal and allegations that Russian computer hackers helped him win the race for the White House. Russia denied election meddling, the president's being investigated for treason, he's sacked some of his closest aides and Congress has imposed new Russian sanctions. Trump said last month said relations were at an "all-time and very dangerous low". That relationship is even worse now. Russian leaders say the US order to shut down diplomatic offices in three American cities is a "blunt act of hostility". That followed Russia ordering hundreds of US diplomats to leave Moscow.

Is the US punishing Egypt? - Inside Story
Egypt had been a long time ally of the United States before their relationship was strained after the 2013 military coup that put president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in power. But that all changed when US President Donald Trump came to office in January. Sisi was one of the first leaders to visit him at the White House. Human rights groups have accused Sisi's government of extensive human rights violations. Now, Trump's administration says it will deny Egypt $290mn worth of financial aid, citing the government's inability to make progress towards improving human rights.

Will Donald Trump last through his first full term as US president?
There has not been a dull moment in the White House since US President Donald Trump took office. In the past eight months there's been a series of executive orders and a string of high profile departures. Yet the president insists there is "no chaos" in his administration. But the polls tell a different story. His approval ratings have plummeted and members of his own Republican party are questioning his capability as president, with some calling the White House a "sinking ship'. Trump has become increasingly isolated in recent months, shunned by major business leaders and at odds with his party's congressional leadership. And his comments after the violence in Charlottesville estranged him from more than half the nation. Many are now beginning to wonder how long he will last as presi...

Is Hezbollah stronger after its involvement in Syria?
Authorities in Lebanaon say they may have found the remains of a group of soldiers kidnapped by ISIL in 2014. This follows a ceasefire deal agreed on Sunday between the Lebanese army on one side; and the Syrian government and Hezbollah forces on the other. And as part of that deal, ISIL fighters revealed the whereabouts of the soldiers' remains. The ceasefire allows ISIL fighters safe passage to Deir Azzor in Syria - one of the few remaining pockets they still control. This apparent coordination of the ceasefire indicates a closer relationship between Hezbollah, the Lebanese military and Syrian government forces. Hezbollah has long been fighting on the side of President Bashar Al Assad. And many say this latest agreement has given it more political power. So, what will this mean for...

What's behind the diplomatic breakdown in the Gulf? – Inside Story This time it's more than just recalling ambassadors. Land and sea borders have been closed. On top of that, major airlines are cancelling flights to and from Doha. And Qatar residents have two weeks to leave the Gulf states in question. Qatari leaders say they’re astonished at what they call the unjustified decision by seven countries to cut diplomatic relations. A cabinet statement said the aim is to strip Qatar of its sovereign decisions. The Foreign Ministry said: 'The aim is clear and it is to impose guardianship on the state.

Inside Story - Can the French economy be fixed?
President Emmanuel Macron tries to do what his predecessors failed: reform employment laws. On a path of profound transformation - that's the promise of President Emmanuel Macron to reform the jobs market in France. Major proposals have been unveiled aimed at reviving the second largest economy in the Eurozone. Following years of stagnation, government leaders want to reduce unemployment, limit the power of trade unions and make it easier for companies to create jobs. Trade union leaders are opposing making it easier to 'hire and fire' workers - and what they say is an attack on employee rights and social welfare. That fighting talk will test Macron's ability to force change when his predecessors failed. And with his popularity already waning after less than four months in power, the likel...

Inside Story - Can Iraq's Kurdish region gain independence?
The Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq says the date to hold an independence referendum has been set and won't be changed. That was in response to a request by US secretary of state Rex Tillerson to postpone the referendum. During a telephone call on Thursday, Tillerson told Masoud Barzani that he favours dialogue instead, between the Kurdish region and the Iraqi government. The US and other Western nations are worried the vote, could lead to renewed conflict with the Iraqi government in Baghdad and distract the Kurds from fighting ISIL. Turkey, Iran and Syria which also have large Kurdish populations all oppose an independent Kurdish state.

Inside Story - Will Myanmar honour recommendations for persecuted Muslim Rohingya minority?
Rohingya muslims living in Buddhist majority Myanmar say they are the world's most persecuted miniority. They have suffered years of oppression in Rakhine state - including alleged extra-judicial killings, rape attacks and homes burned down. Close to 90,000 sought sanctuary in neighbouring Bangladesh following a crackdown by security forces in Myanmar last year. Rohingya were blamed then for the killing of soldiers in attacks on border posts. An independent commission led by former UN chief Kofi Annan has released a wish-list to help bring peace between Buddhists and muslims in Rakhine state.

It is a humanitarian crisis that is growing all the time. A week after former UN chief Kofi Annan released a report with recommendations to end years of persecution of the Rohingya people, the situation in Rakhine state in Myanmar appears to be getting worse. Women and children are among the tens of thousands of the ethnic Muslim-minority Rohingya community trying to get across the border into Bangladesh. But Bangladesh doesn't want them. Security is being tightened, and many people are being turned away, and are stuck in no-man's land. The refugees tell of attacks by the Myanmar military, of Rohingya villagers being killed and their homes set on fire. But the Myanmar army says it's launched a security crackdown on a rebel group after coming under attack itself. The biggest obstacle ...

Who can protect Yemen's civilians? - Inside Story
There are calls for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen to be blacklisted Yemen is being pounded on an almost daily basis from air and land. The latest attack came on Friday when a Saudi-led coalition air strike hit a residential area, killing at least 14 people including five children. On Wednesday, a hotel north of the capital Sanaa, was also hit. Forty-one people were killed and many more injured. The Saudi block said those it killed were militants. But the UN disputes that and wants an impartial investigation into these strikes. Amnesty International says the coalition 'rained down bombs on civilians while they slept'.

Inside Story - Is the Saudi-led coalition failing in Yemen?
A new confidential UN report says after nearly two-and-a-half years of military campaign in Yemen, the Saudi-led coalition is 'no closer' to achieving its objective. The report suggests the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen is failing. Saudi Arabia and its partners have been carrying out air strikes against the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, in one of the world's poorest countries. But despite the coalition's considerable military power, it has not succeeded in its mission. The report says the campaign has led to a further fragmentation of Yemen's political landscape. It accuses all parties of continuing to violate international human rights laws, saying government forces, Houthi rebels, fighters loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh and the UAE are detaining people illegally. ...

What is the legacy of Indian subcontinent partition?
The 14th of August 1947 was the historic day when British colonial rule ended and India won its independence. A new nation was also born - Pakistan. The border lines created on a hastily drawn map. What followed was on an unprecedented level - 15 million people swapped countries as Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs feared discrimination if they stayed where they were. The mass migration cost more than a million lives. There have been three wars between India and Pakistan since Independence Day, divided Kashmir remains disputed, and religious and ethnic intolerance continues. But that has not stopped the celebrations throughout the two countries. A 31-gun salute marked the occasion in Pakistan's capital Islamabad.

Can the US and Russia de-escalate rising tensions? - Inside Story
It was all-out verbal warfare this week as the United States imposed fresh sanctions on Russia. US President Donald Trump reluctantly approved the new measure, saying the US would side with its allies and friends against Russian subversion and destabilisation. He added that considered the sanctions bill seriously flawed, and he said he was only signing it for the sake of national unity. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev responded by saying the sanctions end hopes for improving Russia's relations with the new US administration. He said Trump had been "fully outwitted" and his administration had "shown its total weakness by handing over executive power to Congress in the most humiliating way." Trump then tweeted that the US relationship with Russia was at "an all-time and very dang...

Authorities in Lebanaon say they may have found the remains of a group of soldiers kidnapped by ISIL in 2014.
This follows a ceasefire deal agreed on Sunday between the Lebanese army on one side; and the Syrian government and Hezbollah forces on the other.
And as part of that deal, ISIL fighters revealed the whereabouts of the soldiers' remains.
The ceasefire allows ISIL fighters safe passage to Deir Azzor in Syria - one of the few remaining pockets they still control.
This apparent coordination of the ceasefire indicates a closer relationship between Hezbollah, the Lebanese military and Syrian government forces.
Hezbollah has long been fighting on the side of President Bashar Al Assad. And many say this latest agreement has given it more political power.
So, what will this mean for Hezbollah's future and the power dynamics in the region?

Authorities in Lebanaon say they may have found the remains of a group of soldiers kidnapped by ISIL in 2014.
This follows a ceasefire deal agreed on Sunday between the Lebanese army on one side; and the Syrian government and Hezbollah forces on the other.
And as part of that deal, ISIL fighters revealed the whereabouts of the soldiers' remains.
The ceasefire allows ISIL fighters safe passage to Deir Azzor in Syria - one of the few remaining pockets they still control.
This apparent coordination of the ceasefire indicates a closer relationship between Hezbollah, the Lebanese military and Syrian government forces.
Hezbollah has long been fighting on the side of President Bashar Al Assad. And many say this latest agreement has given it more political power.

In a couple of attacks to hit Spain this week, at least 14 people were killed when a speeding van ploughed through pedestrians on the famous Rambla boulevard in Barcelona on Thursday .
A woman died of her injuries following a similar attack in a car in the seaside resort of Cambrils nearby. Five men were shot dead by police.
That followed an explosion at a house in the town of Alcanar, 200km south of Barcelona, where bomb makers are thought to have lived.
Authorities said the attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils were related and the work of a large cell that had been plotting for a long time from Alcanar.
Four arrests have been made, while seven other members of the suspected cell are confirmed dead.
The attacks in Spain are the latest in cities all over Europe.
Most were claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, also known as ISIS), which is being driven from strongholds in the Middle East.
So how potent a force are ISIL fighters in Europe?

Qatari leaders say they’re astonished at what they call the unjustified decision by seven countries to cut diplomatic relations.
A cabinet statement said the aim is to strip Qatar of its sovereign decisions.

President Emmanuel Macron tries to do what his predecessors failed: reform employment laws.
On a path of profound transformation - that's the promise of President Emmanuel Macron to reform the jobs market in France.
Major proposals have been unveiled aimed at reviving the second largest economy in the Eurozone.
Following years of stagnation, government leaders want to reduce unemployment, limit the power of trade unions and make it easier for companies to create jobs.
Trade union leaders are opposing making it easier to 'hire and fire' workers - and what they say is an attack on employee rights and social welfare.
That fighting talk will test Macron's ability to force change when his predecessors failed.
And with his popularity already waning after less than four months in power, the likely showdown is a further risk to the popularity of the youngest ever president of France.

The Kurdistan Regional Government in northern Iraq says the date to hold an independence referendum has been set and won't be changed.
That was in response to a request by US secretary of state Rex Tillerson to postpone the referendum.
During a telephone call on Thursday, Tillerson told Masoud Barzani that he favours dialogue instead, between the Kurdish region and the Iraqi government.
The US and other Western nations are worried the vote, could lead to renewed conflict with the Iraqi government in Baghdad and distract the Kurds from fighting ISIL.
Turkey, Iran and Syria which also have large Kurdish populations all oppose an independent Kurdish state.

Rohingya muslims living in Buddhist majority Myanmar say they are the world's most persecuted miniority. They have suffered years of oppression in Rakhine state - including alleged extra-judicial killings, rape attacks and homes burned down.
Close to 90,000 sought sanctuary in neighbouring Bangladesh following a crackdown by security forces in Myanmar last year.
Rohingya were blamed then for the killing of soldiers in attacks on border posts.
An independent commission led by former UN chief Kofi Annan has released a wish-list to help bring peace between Buddhists and muslims in Rakhine state.

It is a humanitarian crisis that is growing all the time. A week after former UN chief Kofi Annan released a report with recommendations to end years of persecution of the Rohingya people, the situation in Rakhine state in Myanmar appears to be getting worse.
Women and children are among the tens of thousands of the ethnic Muslim-minority Rohingya community trying to get across the border into Bangladesh. But Bangladesh doesn't want them. Security is being tightened, and many people are being turned away, and are stuck in no-man's land.
The refugees tell of attacks by the Myanmar military, of Rohingya villagers being killed and their homes set on fire. But the
Myanmar army says it's launched a security crackdown on a rebel group after coming under attack itself.
The biggest obstacle to peace is Myanmar citizenship. The commission led by Annan says all restrictions on Rohingya should be lifted and describes them as the biggest single stateless community in the world.

There are calls for the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen to be blacklisted
Yemen is being pounded on an almost daily basis from air and land. The latest attack came on Friday when a Saudi-led coalition air strike hit a residential area, killing at least 14 people including five children.
On Wednesday, a hotel north of the capital Sanaa, was also hit. Forty-one people were killed and many more injured. The Saudi block said those it killed were militants.
But the UN disputes that and wants an impartial investigation into these strikes. Amnesty International says the coalition 'rained down bombs on civilians while they slept'. And the International Committee of the Red Cross condemned the latest raid as 'outrageous'.

A new confidential UN report says after nearly two-and-a-half years of military campaign in Yemen, the Saudi-led coalition is 'no closer' to achieving its objective.
The report suggests the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen is failing.
Saudi Arabia and its partners have been carrying out air strikes against the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, in one of the world's poorest countries.
But despite the coalition's considerable military power, it has not succeeded in its mission.
The report says the campaign has led to a further fragmentation of Yemen's political landscape.
It accuses all parties of continuing to violate international human rights laws, saying government forces, Houthi rebels, fighters loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh and the UAE are detaining people illegally.
So, how to stop this conflict?

But despite the coalition's considerable military power, it has not succeeded in its mission.
The report says the campaign has led to a further fragmentation of Yemen's political landscape.
It accuses all parties of continuing to violate international human rights laws, saying government forces, Houthi rebels, fighters loyal to former president Ali Abdullah Saleh and the UAE are detaining people illegally.
So, how to stop this conflict?

The 14th of August 1947 was the historic day when British colonial rule ended and India won its independence.
A new nation was also born - Pakistan. The border lines created on a hastily drawn map.
What followed was on an unprecedented level - 15 million people swapped countries as Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs feared discrimination if they stayed where they were. The mass migration cost more than a million lives.
There have been three wars between India and Pakistan since Independence Day, divided Kashmir remains disputed, and religious and ethnic intolerance continues.
But that has not stopped the celebrations throughout the two countries. A 31-gun salute marked the occasion in Pakistan's capital Islamabad.

It was all-out verbal warfare this week as the United States imposed fresh sanctions on Russia.
US President Donald Trump reluctantly approved the new measure, saying the US would side with its allies and friends against Russian subversion and destabilisation.
He added that considered the sanctions bill seriously flawed, and he said he was only signing it for the sake of national unity.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev responded by saying the sanctions end hopes for improving Russia's relations with the new US administration.
He said Trump had been "fully outwitted" and his administration had "shown its total weakness by handing over executive power to Congress in the most humiliating way."
Trump then tweeted that the US relationship with Russia was at "an all-time and very dangerous low".
"You can thank Congress", Trump said.
As the crisis between the two countries deepens, what's behind this latest escalation?

The silence has been broken, they'll have their way tonight
Headline, a secret agony
Rumors can be proven, there's a picture on page three
Gonna bring you the inside story
Run it as a front page spread
Gonna tell you the inside story
Did you hear what the victim said?
Showtime, and there's anger at the scene
Our star is under pressure
Get his face up on the screen
Wild eyes, as the car is rushed away
Your shame is what they feed on, and we read everything they say.

Did you hear what the victim said
Gonna bring you the inside story
Play it on the nighly news
Doesn't matter how we get the story
Doesn't matter who we have to use
If the city closes up their thrill is gone
They no longer hold the keys to Babylon
So they wait in towers built to ill advise
For another famous head to victimize
Hard time, for the guy who played to win
They claim he's been broken
He'll have to fight to save his skin
Gonna bring you the inside story
Run it as a front page spread
