Lions, bears and monkeys were among dozens of exotic animals shot by police in Ohio, after their owner set them free, before killing himself. A vet from the Columbus zoo describes efforts to save some of the animals and the conditions in which they'd been kept. 

Protestors and police clashed violently in Athens over the lastest austerity budget, which recieved initial approval from the Greek parliament. A protestor details why people are so angry, and what he hopes the protests will achieve.

Tens of thousands of people are also on the streets in La Paz, Bolivia, to greet indigenous protestors who have been marching across the country in an effort to stop a government plan to build a highway through the Amazon rainforest. Mattia Cabitza reports live from the square outside the Presidential Palace, where some protestors decided to camp for the night.
