The United Nation has released satellite photos which it says show the Temple of Bel in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra has been destroyed by Islamic State militants who control the site.

Nick Bran reports from New York.

The blurry satellite image released by the United Nations makes depressing viewing for it shows that almost nothing remains of the main structure at the center of the temple. Earlier on, Syrian antiquities chief said the basic structure of the 2000-year-old site was still intact despite attacks by the group calling itself Islamic State demolished with explosives. But the statement for the UN's training and research agency UNITAR confirmed that the destruction of the main building as well as a row of columns in its immediate vicinity. This destruction will be widely viewed as a grieve act to cultural barbarity.

In a brief summing up of the case, the judge found that the article published by Phuketwan website was properly researched and it didn't damage Thailand's national security. The Thai navy brought the case in December in 2013 arguing that 41 word paragraphs which refer to the involvement of Thai naval forces in human trafficking damaged the navy's reputation. Alan Morison and Chutima Sidasathian started the website to cover tourists in Phuket but they were the first journalists to report on the plight of Roingya Muslims washing up on Thailand's Andaman coast, and on the harsh treatment they received from human trafficers and from some Thai officials.

Thousands of Hilary Clintons's emails have been released as part of the investigation into her use of private computer server while as Secretary of State. The state department says 150 emails have to be censored because they contained information considered to be classified. The probe could damage Mrs Clinton's bid to the Democratic candidate for the presidency next year. Peter Bulls has more. This is only 25 percent of the total of emails that will eventually be released the FBI is investigating. I spent much of the last hour looking at some those emails on the state department website and the vast majority that I've seen so far are relatively mundane.
