The United States is marking the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. At the memorial site in New York where Islamist militants flew two of four hijacked airliners into the twin towers of the World Trade Centre, victims' families and dignatories held moments of silence representing key moments as the attacks unfolded. We explain how your partner’s snoring could be affecting your health and hear from a couple living with the impact. A bitter succession dispute has erupted in one of Uganda's traditional kingdoms, days before the burial of its late king, who until his death had been the world's youngest reigning monarch.
