A 10-year-old girl makes her pitch to Western powers for peace in Yemen

"When my birthday comes, my wish is that war stops." A 10-year-old girl in Yemen pleads for peace. Also, how much information do politicians owe us about their personal lives? Will Ultimate Frisbee become an Olympic sport? 

Plus, a man snaps a photo of a street cart vendor and the image goes viral; a baseball player in the US keeps fans glued to their TV screens in Taiwan, and DJ Shadow, an American music producer, releases a video that has got everyone talking in Ukraine.
