A jihadist assault led by suicide bombers killed dozens Tuesday at a camp for the displaced near Syria's border with Iraq, as pressure grows on the Islamic State group in both countries. The violence left at least 38 people dead and came as another surprise IS attack on Tuesday killed 10 soldiers in Iraq, to the south along the border. The jihadist group appears to be lashing out as it faces escalating offensives on its last two major bastions: second city Mosul in Iraq and Raqa in neighbouring Syria.
Mexican security forces on Tuesday arrested accused drug kingpin Damaso Lopez, believed to be locked in a bloody struggle for control of the Sinaloa Cartel against the sons of its captured leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. The attorney general's office announced that its agents with the help of the army had captured Lopez, one of the top-ranking figures in the world's most successful drug cartel, which has been destabilized by "El Chapo's" extradition in January to the United States.

series, has a magical way of getting folks around the world to open up in ways that even celebrities are not immune to, no matter how many years of media training they've endured. The photographer was on hand during the 2017 Met Gala once again this year, and the first image he's shared with the world is of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively.

She’ll take the time to imagine what happened to a person when they were five or six years old. And she’s made me a more empathetic person," Reynolds told Stanton. "I had a very fractured relationship with my father. Before he died, she made me remember things I didn’t want to remember. She made me remember the good times.” “She always responds with empathy.
