20: Turkey's interior ministry said it has started repatriating foreign Islamic State fighters back to their home countries, including 20 ISIS fighters from Germany, France, Ireland and Denmark.

39: UK police have released the names of 39 Vietnamese nationals found dead in a truck outside London, a grisly case that's thrown a spotlight on the prevalence of human-smugglers who prey on people from Asia seeking a better life in Europe. Each year, about 18,000 Vietnamese people set out on this perilous journey.
