Suddenly, we heard the explosion. I went outside my little shop, and I saw the children on the ground, bleeding. Some had eye injuries. Others had leg injuries. And some had shrapnel wounds on their faces and on their heads. The explosion was terrifying. Islamic State militants4 said the attacks were in revenge against the Houthis, who've taken over the capital and much of Yemen. The government in exile and the rebels are currently attending peace talks in Geneva.

From Washington, here's E.M.
It was a bleak6 picture on Iraq that was painted by America's two most senior defence figures. Ashton Carter, the Defence Secretary, and General Martin Dempsey, Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, acknowledged there was now no chance the U.S. would achieve its goal of training twenty-four thousand Iraqi troops by the autumn, saying only seven thousand had been recruited to date. America had also been too slow, they admitted, in arming Iraqi security forces in their fight against Islamic State militants.

In Luxembourg on Thursday, Euro Zone finance ministers are due to discuss the looming8 end of the Greek bailout programme, an event, the Bank of Greece says, could force the country out of the single currency, and even the European Union. The Euro Group Chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem says the chances of reaching a deal are very small.
The authorities in Chad have banned the wearing of the full-face veil, or burka, following suicide bombings on Monday. The Prime Minister Kalzeube Pahimi Deubet made the announcement after meeting religious leaders. Richard Hamilton reports.
The Prime Minister said the wearing of the burka and any clothing that covers everything but the eyes was a camouflage9, and was prohibited in all places across Chad. He said security forces would go into markets, confiscate10 all burkas being sold there and burn them. Boko Haram militants have increasingly been using female suicide bombers11, as they are more likely to smuggle12 bombs into public places without detection.
