South African Parliament fire suspect faces terrorism charge

South Africa’s prosecuting authorities have added a charge of terrorism against the man accused of setting the country’s parliament alight last week.

The UN Secretary- General says he is deeply saddened by reports of deadly airstrikes in northern Ethiopia reported to have left more than fifty civilians dead.

And one of Sierra Leone's last remaining World War II veterans has died, aged 101.
