  • Staying in Asia, Afghanistan is in mourning after 71 people were killed in Taliban attacks.

  • To Turkey, which is locked in a war of words with Europe ahead of this weekend's EU summit. Turkey has a "crucial role in the Middle East", as one analyst tells us, so why are there tensions? Find out here.
