New attempt to salvage a truce in Syria; Efforts by Austria to stop people leaving to become foreign fighters; Elephants are retired from one of the US's biggest circuses.
US Secretary of State John Kerry is in Geneva to salvage a nationwide ceasefire in Syria. He says he will look for Russian co-operation to end the violence in Aleppo.
