It's thought that air strikes on the Iraqi city of Mosul have caused mass civilian deaths. An Iraqi Vice President said "a humanitarian catastrophe" is unfolding because of the excessive use of fire power in the operation to drive out militants from the group Islamic state.
The US-led coalition is investigating reports that one of its air attacks killed more than 100 civilians in the west of the city on ten days ago. The BBC's Orla Guerin met civilians casualties at a field hospital south of #Mosul.

Leaders of the EU are gathered in Malta today discussing some of the organisation's biggest problems in its smallest member state – the population of Malta is smaller than Shropshire’s.
Alongside hardy perennials like the migration crisis they’ll be trying to decide how to deal with the political challenges being posed apparently every day by the Trump administration. The Prime Minister Theresa May will be at the morning session but will tactfully miss the afternoon talks where Brexit might come up. But there are British expatriates on Malta who hope that our old ally in the Mediterranean will be on our side diplomatically when push comes to shove. Our Europe Correspondent Kevin Connolly went to meet some of them.
Broadcast on BBC Radio 4's Today programme on Friday Feb 4th 2017. Produced by Charlotte Hayward.

Inviting the EU leaders to their regular summits these days calls for the same careful thought as inviting a divorced couple to a wedding.
Take tomorrow’s gathering on the Mediterranean island of Malta for example…it’s been decided that Theresa May WILL be at the morning session but won’t attend in the afternoon when the subject of the EU’s future – and Brexit – is discussed.
That still leaves scope to talk about the EU’s migration crisis and what sort of attitude Europe should strike to Donald Trump’s America… Our Europe Correspondent Kevin Connolly has been watching the Maltese prepare to host the year's first EU summit.
Broadcast on Thursday 2nd March on BBC Radio 4's PM programme. Produced by Charlotte Hayward.
The European Parliament in Strasbourg is about to wind down. When it reconvenes in January we'll have a clear sign of how Europe's MEPs view their British counterparts six months on from Brexit - because parliament will be voting on how many committee chairs should go to British members. So how are British MEPs feeling about being out of a job in a couple of years? Europe Correspondent Kevin Connolly reports from Strasbourg for @bbcr4today. Produced by Larissa Kennelly, broadcast 13/12/16.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened this morning to throw open Turkey’s borders with the EU to hundreds of thousands of migrants.

Produced by Larissa Kennelly, broadcast on Radio 4's Today in Parliament on Nov 25th 2016.
The political plates are shifting from the USA to the UK and in the Baltics they worry about what will happen to NATO. Our correspondent Kevin Connolly was there twenty five years ago when Moscow sent the tanks into Lithuania at the end of the Cold War. For this morning's programme we asked him to return to gauge concern. Kevin set out to find a group of women singers he remembers from the dramatic night when Soviet tanks killed unarmed protestors calling for Lithuanian independence. Broadcast on BBC Radio 4's Broadcasting House on November 27th 2016. Produced by Piers Scholfield.
Lithuania has warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin may test Nato in the weeks before Donald Trump becomes US president.
