Olympic closing; Turkey bombing; Quincy Jones

The Olympic Games have come to an end, with a dramatic ceremony at the Maracanã stadium in Rio.

The bomb in Gazientep, southern Turkey, which killed more than 50 people at a wedding party on Saturday, was detonated by a child aged between 12 and 14, according to the government. 

He's a legend of music, with a career spanning more than 70 years. Quincy Jones is in London for a special concert at the BBC Proms music festival to mark his distinguished career. Newsday's Michael Rossi caught up with him.
