Turkey Mourns Blast Victims

Turkey Explosions; IS convoy hit; Smog in Indonesia and China

As Turkey enters the second day of official mourning for the victims of the bomb blast in Anakara on Saturday, the BBC's Tom Bateman reports from Turkey.

The Iraqi airforce on Sunday hit a convoy of vehicles carrying so-called Islamic State militants, including the elusive leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. An Iraqi intelligence source said that the IS leader survived and his current whereabouts remains unknown. Dr. Jim Walsh, an international security associate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology gives his assessment.

Smog is causing health problems and international disagreements in both China and Indonesia. Newsday looks at the effects on China's Open tennis tournament and the continued regional impact of Indonesian forest fires.
