"In the ashes of war... Europe pulled together to create collaborative bodies designed to prevent a repeat of the horrors of Nazi Germany.

One such body was the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)."

This picture taken from the Nuseirat camp for displaced Palestinians shows destroyed buildings and smoke billowing following Israeli strikes east of Gaza City on Tuesday. The ceasefire that came into effect on October 10 remains fragile, and the Gaza Strip remains in a deep humanitarian crisis.

Calandagan got a feel for the Tokyo turf on Thursday morning. Jérémy Lobel wasn't pushing too many buttons but the world's highest-rated horse looked his usual smooth self ahead of Sunday's Japan Cup.
