Dilma Rousseff says she's an 'innocent victim'; Bangladesh Killings; Captain Cook's ship.

Brazil's beleaguered President Dilma Rousseff has told the BBC she is an "innocent victim" and she will fight on as possible impeachment looms. She vowed to "keep fighting...to come back to government if the impeachment request is accepted". Ms Rousseff is accused of manipulating government accounts, which she denies.

There is growing international concern about the threat of terrorism in Bangladesh, following a number of brutal killings targeting secular bloggers, professors, foreigners and religious minorities. Ten days ago, Bangladesh's most high-profile gay activist Xulhaz Mannan was hacked to death inside his home. As the BBC's Sanjoy Majumder reports from Dhaka, Islamic militants linked to al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group are said to be behind the violence.

And marine archaeologists think they have found Captain Cook's ship, called the Endeavour!
