US Navy Vessel in Collision

The US navy says a search and rescue operation is taking place off the coast of Singapore, after one of its ships collided with an oil tanker near the Strait of Malacca. The USS John McCain - a guided missile destroyer - was damaged in the incident.

A 12-strong terror cell that carried out two attacks in Spain this week had collected 120 gas canisters and was planning to use them in vehicle attacks, Spanish police say. Police are still hunting for the driver of the van that hit dozens of people on Barcelona's Las Ramblas, killing 13.

The US and South Korea are conducting annual military drills which consistently infuriate Pyongyang, despite appeals to halt the exercise. Last week North Korea appeared to back down from a threat to send missiles towards the US Pacific island of Guam, but said it would watch US actions. It has already condemned these drills as pouring "gasoline on fire".
