Nuon Chea, a senior member of Cambodia's Khmer Rouge regime which led to the death of more than 1.7 million people, died on Sunday at the age of 93. Nuon Chea died in hospital, according to the Extraordinary Chambers in The Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). Nuon Chea was convicted alongside Khieu Samphan, or "Brother Number Four" -- they were two of the most senior leaders of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime to be prosecuted for the genocide.

Last year, China banned plastic waste imports as part of an initiative to clean up its environment. The governments of 187 countries agreed to control the movement of plastic waste between national borders in May by adding plastic to the Basel Convention, an international regulatory treaty. The move was "a highly welcome step towards redressing this imbalance and restoring a measure of accountability to the global plastic waste management system," said the World Wildlife Fund.
