Jordan's government is vowing1 "strong, earth-shaking and decisive" action, following the release of an Islamic State video showing the death of a Jordanian pilot the group had been holding.
The grizzly2 video shows the pilot Muath al-Kaseasbeh being burned to death inside a steel cage.
In response, Jordanian authorities are reportedly preparing to execute a jailed Iraqi woman the Islamic State had been demanding in return for the pilot's freedom.
Kaseasbeh is the first pilot from the US-led coalition3 to be captured by the Islamic State.
The Chinese government has officially taken up the case of a Chinese PhD student who was recently kicked out of Norway.
Chinese authorities are accusing Norwegian officials of violating the rights of the young man, who was forced to leave the country last month.
The PhD student had been working at a wind-power project at the University of Agder for the last 2-years.
However, police ordered him out of the country, saying they fear the student's expertise4 could be used "for military purposes in other countries."
Both the student and his professor as well as the university have denied the suggestion.
