Newsday

Available for 29 days

Iranian state media says the country has retaliated after strikes by the United States reportedly killed five people at a wedding party. Tehran says it has launched missile and drone attacks at US targets in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain. A week on from the deadly flash floods on the Nepal-Tibet border, over a thousand bodies have been recovered so far. The United Nations says its response is now turning to relief and recovery. And following the lucklustre share launch of fast fashion retailer Shein we look at whether the world is falling out of love with ultra fast fashion.
