BBC World Service - BBC OS, Dozens Killed by Baghdad Car Bomb

A car bomb in the Iraqi capital Baghdad has killed more than thirty people.

At least 35 people have been killed by a car bomb in a busy square in Baghdad. Reports from the scene say many of the dead were day labourers waiting for jobs at a crossroads, in the sprawling Sadr City district of the Iraqi capital.

The search for the gunman who killed 39 people at an Istanbul nightclub in Turkey continues. 

A US study suggests that people treated by a female physician have a lower risk of dying and a lower risk of being admitted to hospital again in the following month.

We have the latest on all those stories, and more.
