Amnesty International: Iraq
In Iraq, Kurdish Peshmerga forces have destroyed thousands of Arab homes, calling it revenge for their residents supporting ISIS — but Amnesty International calls it a possible war crime. 

Finland clowns
An anti-immigrant group called Soldiers of Odin is angrily stomping through the streets of Finland — and right behind them is a group that's mocking, them. A group of professional clowns.
