Women living in Haji Ali, a group of villages numbering about 40,000 people in northern Iraq about 40 miles south of Mosul, have taken up arms to protect the area from Islamic State militants. IS-controlled villages are only about a mile away, so women have learned how to use weapons and have started guarding their families' houses at night, in order to help their men, which rotate in and out of the frontline. Villagers fear that IS could sneak across the Tigris river and into the village under the cover of night, and are complaining that locals don't have enough weapons to defend themselves.
Footage filmed early on Thursday morning shows forensic investigators and police at London's Russell Square, where a woman was killed and at least five others injured in a mass stabbing on Wednesday evening, in what police suspect may be a terrorist attack.
