Iraqi army advances on western Mosul as thousands of civilians flee

Iraqi forces are advancing into western Mosul. The built-up areas are the last stronghold of Isis in the country. Narrow streets make it impossible to advance with armoured vehicles. US-backed Iraqi forces successfully captured Mosul’s airport earlier this week. About 1,000 civilians have been displaced in the latest round of fighting. Losing control over Mosul would be a substantial blow for Isis. Feb 26, 2017

Kuala Lumpur airport declared free from toxic chemicals after Kim Jong-nam assassination

Kuala Lumpur international airport has been declared free of toxic chemicals.
