Newsday

Available for 29 days

The World Health Organisation has warned that the current strain of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo is to become the deadliest on record. The Israeli military says it's deploying an additional battalion to the occupied West Bank after failing to dislodge Israeli settlers who've trapped two Palestinian families in their homes since Sunday. The IDF said they would bolster troops attempting to deal with settler attacks and provocations. And the rescue operations continues in Colombia following a powerful 7.4-magniture earthquake on Monday. Latest reports say 265 people have been killed.
