Russian general killed in Moscow

The general was leaving a residential block early on Tuesday when a device hidden in a scooter was detonated, Russia's Investigative Committee said.

Pictures from the scene showed the entrance to a building badly damaged, with scorch marks on the walls and a number of windows blown out. Two body bags could also be seen on the street where the General was killed .

The French government says it's mobilising resources to get help to the people of Mayotte. We hear from the French army about the challenges of getting aid to the remote location.
