President Obama makes historic visit to Cuba; Belgian foreign minister says the Paris attack carried out by 30 person network; Remarks by tennis organiser inflames women players
President Barack Obama is in Havana at the start of a three day visit to Cuba which he's called a historic opportunity to engage with the island's people. Mr Obama - the first sitting US president to visit Cuba in 88 years - will meet President Raul Castro on Monday.
The Belgian foreign minister has said more than 30 people were members of the network that planned and carried out last November's attacks on Paris.
The organiser of a prestigious tennis tournament has had to apologise after saying that the women's game was riding on the coat-tails of male stars.
