Mosul liberation

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has formally declared victory in the fight against Daesh terrorists in Mosul. Abadi said he expects limited fighting to continue as last Daesh Takfiris are taken out. Abadi made the announcement from central Mosul.

Yemen retaliation

The Yemeni army, backed by Ansarullah fighters, has killed at least two Saudi forces in the Kingdom's southern province of Najran.

Some 230 Saudi forces have been killed in Yemen’s retaliatory attacks since the beginning of 2017. Over the past 7 months, 63 Saudi-backed militants have also been killed in separate clashes in Jizan, Najran and Asir provinces. Yemenis have vowed to continue their retaliatory attacks until Saudi Arabia stops its airstrikes. At least 12,000 Yemenis, most of them civilians, have been killed in the Saudi military campaign against its southern neighbor since March 2015.

London fire

Another huge fire hits London in less than a month. This time, the city’s Camden Market was engulfed in blaze.

The first three floors and the roof of the building were caught in flames on Sunday midnight. The fire is now under control and there are no reports of casualties yet. More than 70 firefighters and 10 fire engines were deployed to the scene. The cause of the blaze is still unknown. This is the second major fire incident in London in recent weeks. On June 14, fire tore through the Grenfell Tower residential building, killing at least 80 people. Reports say a lack of suitable equipment; low water pressure and radio problems hindered the response to the Grenfell Tower disaster.

Venezuela crisis

Venezuela’s opposition marks 100 days of anti-government protests with yet another march in the capital Caracas. The bloody crisis has claimed some 90 lives so far, with over 1,500 injured during clashes. We take a look at how the violent chaos in the oil-rich, cash-poor Latin American country unfolded.

Turkey march

Turkey’s main opposition party has completed a 25-day march from the capital Ankara to Istanbul by holding a mass protest. The March for Justice, as it was dubbed, followed the imprisonment of a lawmaker from the Republican People’s Party in June.

Amnesty slams UK court ruling

Amnesty International has condemned a UK High Court ruling that allows London to continue arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

Amnesty said the decision is “a potentially deadly blow to Yemeni civilians.” The leading rights organization added that it is deeply disappointing to authorize what it called shameless arms supplies to Riyadh. According to Amnesty, the UK seriously risks aiding violations of international humanitarian law in Yemen. Meanwhile, the UK-based NGO, Campaign Against Arms Trade, had sought an order to block export licenses for a multi-billion-pound arms with Saudi Arabia. But the High Court judgment dismissed the claim. London has also been accused of ignoring a report which, according to British lawmakers, implicates Riyadh in the funding of extremism in the UK.

UN Syria talks

The United Nations’ Special Envoy for Syria says the country’s de-escalation process must be an interim stage on the path to a national ceasefire.

Staffan de Mistura made the remarks at a news conference in Geneva. He stressed that the Syrian people should have access to humanitarian aid. De Mistura also said the de-escalation zone in southwestern Syria is holding quite well. The UN envoy further noted that most complex disputes regarding the years-long crisis in Syria have been resolved. He also referred to chemical attacks in Syria. He said the banned arms must not be used under any circumstances.

China floods

Chinese authorities say floods and landslides have killed dozens of people in the central Hunan Province while over one and a half million more have been forced to flee their homes due to torrential rains.

Tens of thousands of houses collapsed while nearly 350,000 buildings were seriously or partially damaged after 11 consecutive days of downpour. Hunan’s Civil Affairs Department puts the death toll at 63, adding that 30 more people have gone missing. The damage bill is also said to have reached $5.6 billion. Central and southern parts of China have been repeatedly hit by river overflows for over a month. Guang-shi region also saw similar casualties last week.
