Russia Begins War Games Exercise

Moscow says about 12,700 troops are taking part; NATO expects the numbers to be higher. The war games involve armoured units, warships and aircraft. Also, trials in Turkey for people suspected of taking part in last year's failed coup, a fire at a Malaysian school kills 24, and the oldest recorded example of the number zero.
