IS 'Making Chemical Weapons'

A BBC investigation has heard claims that despite being decommissioned two years ago, chemical weapons continue to be used in Syria. Victims and witnesses have told the BBC they believe Syrian government forces have carried out Chlorine attacks, and at least two incidents involving suspected Mustard Gas have been blamed on Islamic State militants.

The BBC's Gabriel Gatehouse has just returned from Yemen, where he had rare access to the scale of the humanitarian crisis.

Oakland Zoo in the United States has taken a creative approach to raising money for animal conservation - they got some of their animals to paint drawings. And that artwork has just gone up for auction on eBay. Newsday chats to Amy Gotliffe, the Conservation Director of Oakland Zoo.
