Jerusalem bus stabbings: Palestinian attacker 'neutralised' after deadly gun and knife attack in Israel
Authorities say two Israelis and one Palestinian have been killed, with at least twenty others wounded in another "Day of Rage"
Israeli authorities say two Israelis and one Palestinian have been killed, with at least twenty others wounded, in a pair of separate attacks in Jerusalem this morning, in what has been labelled a "day of rage" by Palestinian groups.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says two attackers stabbed and shot people on one side of the city and were captured at the scene, amidst rising tensions in the region.
Almost simultaneously, there was another stabbing attack in a different part of the city.
Mr Rosenfeld says an east Jerusalem man stabbed another man waiting at a bus stop on the main thoroughfare of Raanana. The Israeli was moderately wounded and the attacker was apprehended and beaten by local residents before he was taken to a hospital.Marine food chains at risk of collapse, extensive study of world's oceans finds
Important ecosystems could be massively damaged by 2050 unless greenhouse gas emissions and localised pollution is drastically reduced, researchers say
The food chains of the world’s oceans are at risk of collapse due to the release of greenhouse gases, overfishing and localised pollution, a stark new analysis shows.
A study of 632 published experiments of the world’s oceans, from tropical to arctic waters, spanning coral reefs and the open seas, found that climate change is whittling away the diversity and abundance of marine species.
The paper, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found there was “limited scope” for animals to deal with warming waters and acidification, with very few species escaping the negative impact of increasing carbon dioxide dissolution in the oceans.
The world’s oceans absorb about a third of all the carbon dioxide emitted by the burning of fossil fuels. The ocean has warmed by about 1C since pre-industrial times, and the water increased to be 30% more acidic.
Paris supermarket gunman Coulibaly ‘acted on orders’
Latest update : 2015-10-13
Amedy Coulibaly, the terrorist who killed a policewoman and four shoppers at a kosher supermarket in Paris in January, received orders for the killing spree via email, a French media report revealed Tuesday.
French investigators found an email in Coulibaly’s seized computer that instructed him to “work alone” and “pick the easiest and most certain targets” before he went on his bloody rampage, according to the BFMTV news channel.
The email was sent to Coulibaly on January 8, the same day he gunned down an unarmed police woman in the Parisian suburb of Montrouge, and a day before he took hostages at a kosher supermarket in eastern Paris, BFMTV said.
Coulibaly killed four Jewish customers at the scene before being shot dead in a police assault.

More than 100 British universities are finding positions for about 140 Syrian and Iraqi professors, who will return home when it is safe to do so. They will not be refugees but will have visas as visiting academics.
LONDON — British universities – including Oxford, the oldest in the country – are opening their doors to academics fleeing Syria's civil war, expecting an exchange of ideas based on their research and experiences that will benefit both sides.
Academics have been directly targeted by the so-called Islamic State (IS), the militant Sunni group that controls large swathes of Iraq and Syria and killed three staff of Iraq's Mosul University last month, according to a London-based charity.
Life is extremely difficult for scholars in the region, attacked by IS and other militant rebel groups and suffering poverty and frequent bombing by government forces, according to the Council for At-Risk Academics (Cara) which is trying to help some of them leave.
