Donald Trump Performs a Rare U-turn

Trump abortion remarks prove controversial; Libya's UN-backed government returns to a tense Tripoli; Afghan president criticises those who flee the country rather than build it up

The US Republican presidential contender, Donald Trump, has performed a rare U-turn - after being widely criticised for remarks on abortion.

Gunfire has been heard across the Libyan capital, Tripoli, following the arrival, by sea, of Fayez Seraj, the prime minister of the new UN-backed unity government, along with other officials. They faced opposition from those controlling the city, who called their arrival an attempted coup.

The president of Afghanistan, Ashraf Ghani, has criticised Afghans who choose to emigrate, saying they were making it harder for the country to succeed.
