Syria: IS Beheads 50 Yezidi Women in Last Stronghold
The jihadists of the Islamic State (IS) have beheaded tens of Yezidi women in their last pocket in the eastern parts of Syria, a report revealed on Sunday.
The heads of 50 Yezidi girls were found by the British Special Forces in dustbins during an operation in Baghuz, a town on the banks of the Euphrates in eastern Syria, the Daily Mail said.
According to the report, the special forces carried out a military campaign a few days ago where they killed over 100 militants, while only two British soldiers were wounded in the battle.

Senate reignites blue slip war over Trump court picks
The Senate is set to escalate a long simmering fight over President Trump's judicial nominees.
Republicans are poised to confirm a pick for the influential circuit courts next week without the support of either of the nominee's home-state senators—a first for the Trump era.
Eric Miller is the first appeals judge to get a vote on the Senate floor this year, and the 31st of Trump’s presidency. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) set up an initial vote on his Ninth Circuit nomination for Monday evening.
“The judicial train is running in the committee and it will soon hit the floor,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, told radio host Hugh Hewitt.
