The Afghan Taliban have appointed a successor to Mullah Omar, whose death the militant¹ group has now acknowledged. The new leader is Mullah Akhtar Mansour, who was the second in command. Shaimaa Khalil reports from Islamabad.

Despite being second in command, Mullah Akhtar Mansour is not a unifying² name. Other senior figures including the Taliban’s military commander do not approve of his appointment. At least one faction³ in the Taliban would have preferred Mullah Omar’s son to succeed him. Senior Taliban members have accused pro-Pakistani circles of imposing⁴ Mansour on them. Pakistan says a second round of peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban have now been postponed⁵.

Malaysia has sent investigators to the island of Reunion where the wreckage¹⁰ was found and to the French city of Toulouse where it would be taken for inspection¹¹.

The government in El Salvador has ordered military and police escorts for bus drivers who went on strike on the order of powerful criminal gangs. Some drivers who defied the strike have been killed. Katy Watson reports.

This week’s strike shows just how much power El Salvador’s gangs have or at least the government’s inability to contain them. Gangs stepped up violence over the weekend to try and put pressure on the government to ease a crackdown on their operations. The government has so far refused to enter into dialogue with gang members. Authorities are now trying to get buses running again, but by Thursday many commuters were struggling to get to work with some routes still not running.

Parliament in Chad has voted to reinstate the death penalty for acts of terrorism after it was abolished 6 months ago.

Chad has deployed¹⁸ thousands of soldiers alongside troops from Nigeria, Cameroon and Niger to fight Boko Haram.

A US special envoy¹⁹ has warned South Sudan’s warring parties that their failure to reach a peace deal has exhausted²⁰ the world’s patience.

European scientists say photographs taken by the Philae space probe show the surface of the comet on which it landed is much harder than expected. Our science editor David Shukman has the details.

The landing was one of the boldest in space exploration with the tiny Philae craft bouncing on the surface before settling beside a cliff. But despite all that, the instruments were gathering²¹ information. 2 of them analyzed²² the dust, and found it contained water and oxygen which were expected, but also more complex compounds which are rich in carbon. On their own, these are inert²³. But given the right conditions, they could conceivably help form what are called the building blocks for life, such as the amino acids found in DNA²⁴, and this supports the theory that comets brought what was needed to get life started on the early earth.

A report by the US Department of Justice says the FBI is struggling to attract computer scientists to its cyber security programme mainly due to low pay. The report says the FBI’s inability to match private sector²⁵ salaries has been hampering²⁶ a major initiative launched in 2012 to tackle the growing threat from computer hackers²⁷.

萨尔瓦多政府听从强大犯罪团伙的命令，下令军队和警方保护继续罢工的出租车司机。一些反对罢工的司机已经被杀，凯蒂·沃森报道。

本周的罢工显示出萨尔瓦多犯罪团伙势力的强大，或者至少说明政府无力遏制他们。周末，各团伙加大了暴力活动，向政府施压，希望政府减轻对自己的打击。政府到目前为止拒绝与团伙成员进行对话，当局现在努力让公交车继续运营下去，但到周四为止，很多道路仍然不通，很多通勤者仍无法上班。

欧洲科学家称，菲莱太空探测器拍摄的照片显示，它所登陆的彗星表面比料想的要坚硬。科学编辑戴维·舒可曼报道。

这次着陆是太空探测史上最大胆的尝试之一，这颗微小的菲莱探测器先是在彗星表面回弹，然后着陆在一个峭壁旁边。但尽管如此，其上面的仪器已经在收集信息，其中两个仪器分析灰尘，发现如料想那样含有水和氧气，但也有富含碳的更复杂化合物，这些物质本身是惰性的，但在合适的条件下，它们会帮助形成所谓构成生命的材料，比如DNA中发现的氨基酸，这就支持了这样的理论，即彗星给早期地球带来了生命起源的物质。
