Don't miss:

  • We start in Asia Pacfic, where the threat of nuclear war is discussed again. Pyongyang's deputy UN ambassador has issued a stern warning. Read more here.
  • In the Middle East, the Iraqi army says it has taken full control of oil-rich Kirkuk as thousands flee. We bring you the latest.
  • Heartache continues in Somalia, as the death toll from a truck bombing has risen above 300 people. Has the media covered this enough?

Looking ahead:
