Train guards gather at the site of an elevated commuter train known as Metro Rail Transit or MRT after it overshot its tracks and derailed at the end station Wednesday, Aug. 13, 2014, injuring dozens in suburban Pasay city south of Manila, Philippines. Senior Superintendent Florencio Ortilla, who heads the Pasay city police, said the train toppled concrete posts, spraying debris and damaging cars in the crowded intersection. Hernando Cabrera, spokesman of the agency that operates the train system, said the train had a "technical problem" and was being pushed by another when it became detached and rolled into the concrete barrier at the final station on the line.

In this Monday, Aug. 11, 2014 photo Denis Lavrienko, 36, gestures during a conversation in Ukraine's capital, Kiev. Since a separatist insurgency broke out in eastern Ukraine in March, entire swaths of Ukrainian society _ either through a government summons or their own patriotism _ have suddenly been thrust into battle, many of them with little or no combat experience. With the government desperate for more fighters and medics, a draft has brought in a wave of needed additions to what had been a neglected army. And amid a surge of patriotic indignation tipping over into martial fervor, volunteer battalions have proven an indispensable boost as well. (AP Photo/Efrem Lukatsky)

In this photo taken Tuesday, Aug. 12, 2014, flying trapeze instructor and school owner William Hsu, right, catches one of his students during their first day of practice at the Flying Trapeze Philippines School in suburban Makati, south of Manila, Philippines. The new facility teaches students basic techniques from taking off a platform as high as a three-story building, hanging on to the swinging trapeze bar with your hands or back of knees and landing on the safety net below said Hsu. He added that the thrilling activity has gained adherents, with about 150 to 200 such flying trapeze training facilities now in existence worldwide. (AP Photo/Aaron Favila)
