Destruction at Palmyra Confirmed

Palmyra destruction; Migrants reach Germany; Birds eating plastic

Satellite images released by the UN confirm that Islamic State militants have destroyed the Temple of Bel in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra.

There are jubilant scenes at a station in Munich as migrants on three trains allowed to travel from Hungary reach Germany.

A new study estimates that 90% of seabirds have dangerous plastic in their stomachs.
