- It adds to a number of near misses involving planes this year.

2. Omegle: Suing the website that matched me with my abuser

- As a young girl, Alice (not her real name) logged on to the popular live video chat website, Omegle, and was randomly paired with a pedophile, who coerced her into becoming a digital sex slave. Nearly 10 years later the young American is suing Omegle in a landmark case that could pave the way for a wave of lawsuits against other social platforms.

- The smallest things can remind Alice of the abuse she suffered as a child.

- Her abuser was very particular about how she looked in the videos he forced her to send him, telling her to wear her hair in a ponytail to the left side of her head.

3. Ethiopia war in Tigray: Eritrean soldiers accused of rape despite peace deal

- Ethiopia's government signed a peace deal wit forces from the northern Tigray region last November, in a bid to end a brutal two-year civil war. But aid groups and locals have told the BBC that attacks on civilians - in particular, sexual assaults on women - have continued.

- On the day Ethiopian government officials shook hands with their rivals from Tigray to make peace - both sides smiling while cameras witnessed the moment - Letay spent the night hiding under a bridge with rounds of mortar shells landing and exploding all around her.

- She was alone in a part of north-east Tigray and had just survived being raped by an Eritrean soldier.
