Mali president seized by mutinying soldiers

The president of Mali, Ibrahim Boubakar Keita has been arrested, along with his prime minister, in what appears to be a coup attempt. They're being held at a military base near the capital Bamako, where there's been recent anger at the government over army pay and the continuing conflict with jihadists. The move has been condemned by Mali's West African neighbours and the United Nations Secretary General.

And an international court has found a member of the Hezbollah militant group guilty of involvement in the assassination of Lebanon's former prime minister Rafik Hariri.
