Aung San Suu Kyi visits Rakhine after months of conflict between Muslims and Buddhists.

Aung San Suu Kyi visits Rakhine State after months of conflict between Muslims and Buddhists. Over 600,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled into neighbouring Bangladesh following "textbook" ethnic cleansing according to the UN. Also, members of Catalonia's sacked regional government appear in court in Madrid to face charges of rebellion and sedition, and President Trump calls for the death penalty for the Uzbek immigrant accused of killing eight people in an attack in New York on Tuesday.
