Syria War: Army Makes Gains in East Aleppo

BBC World Service - Newsday, Syria War: Army Makes Gains in East Aleppo

Assad forces advance in rebel-held Aleppo; Violence in Colombia; The farming ants in Fiji

Fighting has been continuing in several districts of eastern Aleppo, as the Syrian army and their allies continue their major offensive to retake control of the city. Pro-government forces are seeking to split the rebel-held zone into two separate parts.

Can a man who assaults his partner be changed? That's what a pilot project in one Colombian jail is trying to achieve. It aims to help men imprisoned for domestic violence develop a non-violent form of masculinity.

Scientists have discovered unique tropical ants that plant, fertilise, protect and harvest plants. We call them 'farmer ants'.
