This picture taken from the Turkish Syrian border city of Karkamis in the southern region of Gaziantep, on August 24, 2016 shows Turkish army tanks and pro-Ankara Syrian opposition fighters moving two kilometres west from the Syrian Turkish border town of Jarabulus. Turkey's army backed by international coalition air strikes launched an operation involving fighter jets and elite ground troops to drive Islamic State jihadists out of a key Syrian border town. Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency reported that pro-Ankara Free Syrian Army (FSA) rebels had already penetrated three kilometres (two miles) inside Syria towards the IS-held town of Jarabulus.

A view of the surface of the planet Proxima b orbiting the red dwarf star Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our Solar System, is seen in an undated artist's impression released by the European Southern Observatory August 24, 2016. Scientists Wednesday announced the discovery of an Earth-sized planet orbiting the star nearest our Sun, opening up the glittering prospect of a habitable world that may one day be explored by robots. Named Proxima b, the planet is in a “temperate” zone compatible with the presence of liquid water – a key ingredient for life. Proxima b is a mere four light years from the solar system, meaning that it is essentially in our backyard on the scale of our galaxy, the Milky Way. It has a mass around 1.3 times that of Earth, and orbits about 7 million km (4.35 million miles) from its star. (Photo by M. Kornmesser/Reuters/ESO)
