Syrian Kurdish leaders call for civilians to take up arms against Turkey as it tries to push the YPG militia from Afrin in Northern Syria. We hear from one of the thousands of people who have fled the bombing. A senior member of Angela Merkel's CDU party Dr Norbert R枚ttgen condemns Turkey's offensive as "illegal" and added his support to calls for the imposition of an arms embargo against the Nato power. Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon reiterates US position that everyone should focus on the fight against IS. Also a blue hat is no longer enough to protect UN peacekeepers -- but is permitting the use of force the answer? We speak live to the General behind the recommendation. Plus will it be a return to the Presidency - or to prison - for Brazil's former President? And two volcanic eruptions, two earthquakes and a tsunami alert... what's going on with the Pacific Ring of Fire?
