有關伊朗核專案的高層對話在紐約聯合國總部舉行。美國國務卿約翰·克裡與伊朗外長紮裡夫進行六年來首次此類會談，來自中國、俄羅斯、英國、法國和德國的外交官也齊聚於此。伊朗新總統哈桑·魯哈尼曾表示希望在未來三到六個月內就核爭議達成協議。尼克·布萊恩特在聯合國紐約總部報導。
“這是2007年來美國國務卿首次和伊朗外長進行過面對面的會談，這也是兩國就伊朗核項目進行首次這類高層會談。伊朗人稱希望由此重啟停滯已久的對話，但美國和英國都對伊朗最近的表現表示懷疑，約翰·克裡表示，除非伊朗採取切實行動展示其對控制核野心的嚴肅態度，否則華盛頓不會做出重大讓步。”
應肯雅的請求，國際刑事員警組織(INTERPOL)為英國婦女薩曼莎發佈國際警報。薩曼莎被控與阿爾沙巴布組織有關聯，該組織是奈洛比西門購物中心4天襲擊案的實施者。儘管媒體猜測她參與這場襲擊，國際刑事員警組織並未提及這點。弗蘭克·加德納報導。
“她最初被通緝是只是因為處理一個偽造的南非護照，但現在肯雅宣佈她之所以被通緝是因為擁有炸彈，這與兩年前2011年12月的案件有關。這些與西門購物中心襲擊案無關，但她被內定認為是嫌犯，有未經證實的報導稱有人看到她在現場，不管怎樣，她未能得到肯雅司法的處置，他們希望追究她的問題。”
肯雅西門購物中心襲擊案導致至少67人喪生，目前已為更多遇難者舉行了葬禮，而在購物中心卻能聽到爆炸聲。據悉肯雅安全部隊在實施有控制的爆炸行動，國際法醫專家仍在大樓內進行搜查，這座樓三分之一的部分在索馬里武裝組織阿爾沙巴布的襲擊中被毀。

義大利官方稱潛水者在歌詩達協和號殘骸周圍發現有遺體，這艘船於一月份在義大利海濱觸礁。艾倫·約翰斯頓報導。
“歌詩達災難發生後進行了屍體搜索行動，但在行動最終取消之時，還有兩人下落不明，一個是義大利女乘客，一個是印度船員。他們或許被困在船下岩石縫隙裡。目前殘骸已被拖走，這樣就能繼續進行搜索了，負責此事的官員稱潛水夫在船體外的海床上發現一些遺體，但目前仍未將之弄上岸，而DNA身份識別程式尚未開始。”

High-level talks on Iran’s nuclear program are taking place at the United Nations in New York. The U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is meeting the Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in the first such encounter for six years. Diplomats from China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany are also there. Iran’s new president Hassan Rouhani has said he wants to reach a deal on the nuclear dispute in three to six months. Nick Bryant is at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
“Not since 2007 has the U.S. Secretary of State come face-to-face with an Iranian Foreign Minister, it’s also the first time that talks have been conducted at such a high level between the two countries on Iran’s nuclear program. And the Iranians have said they hope it would jump-start talks which have long been stalled. But the America and Britain have both expressed skepticism over Iran's recent overtures, John Kerry has indicated that Washington won't make any major concessions unless Iran takes concrete steps to show it’s serious about curbing its nuclear ambitions.”
The global police organization INTERPOL has issued an international alert for a British woman Samantha Lewthwaite at the request of Kenya. Ms. Lewthwaite has been accused of having links to the al-Shabab Militant Movement which is behind the four-day attack on the Westgate Shopping Center in Nairobi. Although there has been media speculation that she was involved in the attack, INTERPOL makes no mention of it. Here's Frank Gardner.
“She was originally wanted just simply for possessing a forge South African passport but now the Kenya has announced she is wanted in connection with possession of explosives in an alleged what dating back to December, 2011, so nearly two years ago. These don't date from the Westgate Shopping Mall attack, but she is a suspect unofficially in that ,there have been unconfirmed reports that people have seen her there, either way she is a fugitive from justice in Kenya and they want to bring her for questioning.”
More funerals have been held in Kenya for victims of the attack on the Westgate Shopping Mall in which at least 67 people were killed, at the shopping center itself, blasts have been heard. They’re believed to be controlled explosions carried out by the Kenyan security forces. International forensic experts are continuing their search of the building, a third of which was destroyed during the assault by the Somali militant group al-Shabab.

President Putin has commented that the accused obviously not pirates but he hasn't objected to that detention. The campaigners come from 18 different countries.
