Indonesian rescuers find wreckage of plane that had 11 people on board
Indonesian rescuers have recovered wreckage from a missing plane that is believed to have crashed with 11 people on board while approaching a mountainous region on Sulawesi island during cloudy conditions. The discovery on Sunday comes after the small plane - on its way from Yogyakarta on Indonesia's main island of Java to Makassar, the capital city of South Sulawesi province - vanished from radar on Saturday. Rescuers on the ground then retrieved larger debris consistent with the main fuselage and tail scattered on a steep northern slope, Anwar told a news conference. "The discovery of the aircraft's main sections significantly narrows the search zone and offers a crucial clue for tightening the search area," Anwar said. "Our joint search and rescue teams are now focusing on searching for the victims, especially those who might still be alive." The plane, a turboprop ATR 42-500, was operated by Indonesia Air Transport and was last tracked in the Leang-Leang area of Maros, a mountainous district of South Sulawesi province.

Fear of being laughed at has meant most people say they don't believe in galaxies far, far away.

Watch: Fishing on a frozen river for respite from the war in Ukraine
Kyiv is many miles from the front line, but Ukraine's war with Russia is never far away - with Moscow's missile and drone attacks directed at the city almost every day. On the frozen surface of the mighty River Dnipro, the BBC speaks to men who spend hours fishing to take their minds off the almost four-year-old conflict, which has left homes with no heating after Russian strikes on power stations. Drilling holes in the ice of the river in the heart of the city, these ice-fisherman - many of them veterans with friends and family at the front - hope to catch small fish, and a little respite. Authorities deliberately triggered the avalanche on Mount Elbrus to release a build up of snow. The limited deployment involves Germany, France, Sweden, Norway, Finland, the Netherlands and the UK.

I left my toxic mums' group because I'd had enough of being judged Martina loved the idea of a baby signing class. As well as teaching her baby to communicate with simple hand gestures, she'd be able to meet other mothers in her area. But after the third session, Martina scooped up her newborn and walked out. She'd had enough of being judged. She says the other mothers scoffed at her parenting choices - she bottle-feeds her son - and seemed to disapprove of her choosing to deliver her baby by caesarean section.

Iran: The protests, the blackout and the narrative war
Iran says'ready for war' Which are Iran's main opposition groups? This past week, Iranian protesters were labelled "terrorists" and "saboteurs" by the state. That rhetoric was accompanied by an internet blackout and a surge in violence, with the death toll still unclear. Simultaneously, tensions between the United States and Iran escalated, raising the stakes in what has become one of the most serious political upheavals in the country in years. In the US, the shooting - in public - of a woman two weeks ago by immigration officers has spiralled into a case of outright lying that is remarkable even by the standards of the Trump administration.
