Turkey Blames Islamic State Militants for Airport Attack
Istanbul's main airport attack; EU leaders urge UK to act; An Olympic torch bearer.
Turkey has blamed Islamic State militants for an attack on Istanbul's main international airport, in which at least 36 people were killed. The Turkish Prime Minister, Binali Yildirim, said three suicide bombers opened fire before blowing themselves up.
European leaders - who have been meeting in Brussels - have urged Britain to set out its plans for leaving the EU as soon as possible. The President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, said it should not take months to meditate on the next step and the legal mechanism triggering exit negotiations should be invoked as soon as Britain had a new prime minister.
Less than two months to go the Rio 2016 Games, and the Olympic torch is travelling across Brazil. More than 12,000 people will carry the flame in more than 300 cities until the games kick off in Rio in August. But the route also exposes Brazil's deep contrasts and inequality. Our correspondent Julia Carneiro went to one of Brazil's poorest states and met a 16-year-old torchbearer who is part of a sports project supported by Unicef - and is making her community proud.
