Palmyra Temple Damaged

IS destroys Syrian temple; Sierra Leone blood diamond arrest; Is cricket really French?

The Islamic State (IS) militant group has destroyed part of another temple at the ancient Syrian site of Palmyra according to activists and witnesses.

An American man has been arrested in Spain on charges of enslavement and diamond pillaging in Sierra Leone.

It's the most English of sports - played on village greens throughout Britain - but was cricket actually invented by the French?
