The talks in the Belarusian capital Minsk Kiev and the pro-Moscow militants agreed a ceasefire. There was talk of a wide deal too. President Poroshenko said there would be an exchange of prisoners. Kiev, he said, had agreed to give more powers to the east. Russia is a key player in all of these, and the Kremlin welcomed the deal. But one key issue wasn't discussed - the future status of Ukraine's eastern regions.

美国方面已经证实对索马里的导弹袭击已经击毙青年党领袖戈丹。由美国特种兵参与的袭击行动于周一在索马里南部展开。Barbara Plett Usher从华盛顿发回报道。

The Pentagon called the death of Ahmed Abdi Godane a major symbolic and operational loss to al-Shabab. Somalia's government expelled the Islamist militants from Mogadishu in 2011 with the help of African troops and Western intelligence.

Around 150 experts have spent the past two days looking at how they can fast track promising experimental drugs to make them available in West Africa as soon as possible. They have agreed that the quickest and safest fix for now is using so-called convalescent plasma therapy, taking blood from people who have recovered from the virus. The idea is that the antibodies in the blood can help those still fighting it. The method has been used on a very small scale in past outbreaks, and some people have recovered, but there still no clinical evidence of its effectiveness.
