A pile of former French first lady Valerie Trierweiler's book "Thank You for this Moment", is pictured in a Paris bookstore, France, Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014. The former companion of French President Francois Hollande writes in a book that the Socialist presents himself as someone who doesn't like the rich, but in fact "doesn't like the poor." The couple broke up in January amid reports Hollande was having an affair with actress Julie Gayet. The book risks further damaging the image of the already deeply unpopular president even though the French had little love for Trierweiler, who couldn't find her place as first lady.

This undated image released by the Israel Defense Forces on Thursday, Sept. 4, 2014 shows a graphic overlay of a satellite image that purports to show Hamas military compounds next to civilian houses and a hospital of Jebaliya, northern Gaza Strip. With a 50-day war in Gaza behind it, the Israeli military is gearing up for what could become its next big battle: the possibility that a U.N. investigation could result in war-crimes allegations. The army has beefed up its legal staff, is conducting internal investigations of its wartime actions and has prepared a detailed PR campaign of satellite photos and video clips_ all with the goal of explaining why its campaign was justified and necessary.

Families of missing soldiers who were kidnapped by Islamic State militants and the Al-Nusra front, sit on the ground street as they hold Arabic banners that read: "you should be ashamed of the blood of the hero martyr Ali Sayid (the beheaded Lebanese soldier)," left, "Hey politicians the blood of our sons is in your hands," center, and "If your children were among those kidnapped ... what would you have done?" right, during a demonstration to demand action to secure the captives' release, in front the Lebanese government building, in downtown Beirut, Lebanon, on Thursday Sept. 4, 2014. Lebanon's government is forming a crisis committee to handle the case of some two dozen members of the security forces held captive by Syrian militants amid escalating criticism over its response to the hostage affair. Militants, including from the Islamic State extremist group, seized around 30 soldiers and policemen after overrunning a Lebanese border town in early August. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)
