  Hello, I"m John Jason with the BBC news.

  In the United States, the ten leading Republican Party presidential aspirants have held their first debate on the road to next year's election. The two-hour televised debate offered Americans their first chance to compare the form of the contenders for the Republican nomination. During the opening, the real estate mogul Donald Trump refused to rule out running as an independent. All the candidates clashed on political issues including immigration. Governor Jeb Bush said there should be a pass to legal immigration.

  "I believe that the great majority people coming here illegally have no other option. They want to provide for their family. But we need to control our border, it's our responsibility to pick and choose who comes in."

  But Marco Rubio said US citizens felt they were being used.

  "People are frustrated. This is the most generous country in the world when it comes to immigration. There are a million people a year who illegally immigrate into the United States. And people feel like we're being taken advantage of."

  Mr Trump retorted that if it wasn't for him, they wouldn't even be discussing illeagal immigration.

  France is deploying a search plane, helicopter and boats around the Indian Ocean island of Renuion in the hope of finding more debris from the missing Malaysia Airline flight MH370. It disappeared last year with 239 people on board. Some of their relatives in China have been staging a third day of protest outside the airline's offices. From Beijing, John Subworth reports.

  "A group of around 30 members turned up for a regular two-monthly meeting with Malaysia Airline officials in Beijing, holding signs, demanding justice and the truth. They are asking for the media to be in allowed with them, a request that the uniformed in plain clothes police officers mornitoring their movements are clearly in no mood to allow. One hundred and fifty-three of the passengers on board MH370 were Chinese nationals, and their relatives accused the Malaysian authorities of insensitivity and incompetence."

  A powerful car bomb was exploded in the Afghan capital Kabul, killing at least eight people and injuring hundreds more. The Health Ministry said the number of deaths was expected to rise.

  North Korea has announed it would turn its clocks back by 30 minutes later this month in what it described as "a rejection of wicked Japanese imperialism". Korea was set to Toyko time by the Japanese who ruled between 1910 and 1945. Steve E reports from Seoul.

  "The statement from Pyongyang says the wicked Japanese imperialist committed such unpardonable crimes as depriving Korea of even its standard time. That would be rectified from August 15th, the 70th anniversary of the explusion of Japanese forces from the Korean peninsula. South Korea has occosionally considered a similar move but desisted because of the cost and inconvenience. So now, Pyongyang will be half an hour behind Seoul even though the two capitals are close to each other.

  The French government says one of its nationals kidnapped in Yemen last February has been freed. A statement said the hostage Isabelle Prime will be back in France within hours.

  The Gulf State of Bahrain has suspended the publication of the country's only independent newspaper Al-Wasat. A day earlier, the Bahrainian information minister warned the he will take legal measures against media that published what he called "false information about Bahrain".

  The Norwegian island Utoya, where the far-right gunmen Anders Behring Breiwik killed 69 mostly teenage political activitists in 2011, is holding its first summer camp since the massarce. Paul Adams is in Utoya.

  "Four years after unspeakable active violence aimed at Norway's multicultural youth, the tiny island where it happened is being taken back. There are still reminders of Breviwik's murderous assault, bullet holes in a cafeteria and there's still a monument engraved with names and ages of the victims suspended from tall pine trees. But the organizers of this week's camp are reluctant to dwell on the past. Some were there that day and saw their friends shot down around them. Others are coming for the first time."

  The British Formula One Racing driver Jenson Button and his wife have been burgled while on holiday in France by thieves who apparently pumped anaesthetic gas into their villa. The couple were staying with friends in the resort of Saint-Tropez. Reports suggest items worth more than 460,000 dollars were taken.

  The American comedian Jon Stewart has associated his final broadcast of the cult satirical news program, the Daily Show. He took over the show in 1999 when he was a stand-up comedian, and quickly estabilshed himself as one of the country's foremost satirists and the voice of liberal America, targetting powerful figures in politics in the media. He is being replaced by the South African comedian Trevor Noah.
