Huge crowds fill Tehran streets for Khamenei's funeral procession
Former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was seen at the procession, local media reported. It appeared to be his first major public appearance since the start of the war, when three of his bodyguards were reportedly killed in a strike near his home.
Iran's current president, Masoud Pezeshkian, was also filmed walking among a group of mourners on a Tehran street.
Earlier, he wrote on X that Khamenei had taught everyone in Iran that the country's "greatest asset" was "its people and their unity". He
Is this a breakthrough moment for soccer in the US?
But while attendances soar and TV ratings for matches show increased interest on par with the NBA Finals and the World Series of baseball, it's not yet clear how long it will last. For some analysts, it remains to be seen whether or not this will be a breakthrough moment.
"It's gone from around the fringes to being mainstream in the sense that there is a strong minority group of people that love it - that's the biggest difference," said Jeff Schneider, executive director of the
Why Australian PM's Kylie comments caused controversy
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has apologised for comments he made about popstar Kylie Minogue in a podcast interview last week.
Albanese made an appearance on the Bush Deep podcast with comedian Nikki Osborne, who asked him whether he would "shag, marry or date" Minogue, actress Nicole Kidman or entertainer Rhonda Burchmore.

He was quickly met by a wave of condemnation, with one MP calling his remarks "entirely inappropriate", and another adding that they were "disrespectful to
Red card system in disarray over Trump, Fifa and Balogun decision
There is one overriding question many people are now asking. How?
Fifa's disciplinary code states that Balogun should receive a ban of "at least two matches for serious foul play".
Indeed, the World Cup rules do not allow teams to appeal against a red card.
Fifa's statement offered no reason or explanation for suspending Balogun's ban. It just cited "article 27 of the Fifa disciplinary code".
Article 27 allows Fifa "to fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary
Why an anti-sacrilege law in India's Punjab has sparked controversy
Days after the law was passed, the Akal Takht raised objections - not to the tougher punishments, but to provisions on terminology, the registration and custody of physical forms of the Guru Granth Sahib, and its administration.
It argued these were matters of Sikh religious practice that should be decided by Sikh institutions, not the state. It also opposed plans to assign unique identification numbers to physical copies of the Guru Granth Sahib and maintain a central register, saying such decisions should not rest with the government.

At least 10 killed in second Russian strikes on Kyiv in a week
At least 10 people have been killed following a second night of Russian strikes on Kyiv in a week, the capital's top military administrator has said.

Crimea residents describe 'catastrophic' situation after Ukrainian strikes
A resident inside Crimea has told the BBC the situation there is "catastrophic", as Ukrainian drones strike oil refineries and power plants on the peninsula, as well as military targets.
The strikes on Russian-annexed Crimea have increased significantly in recent weeks - partly to cut off supply lines to Russian troops attacking Ukraine from the south.
Eastern Europe correspondent Sarah Rainsford explains why Kyiv is striking now and why the peninsula matters to Vladimir Putin personally.

Karina Blanco was just about to start the spinning class she teaches when the earth began to shake. The tremors kept getting stronger, so she grabbed her bag and ran outdoors with everyone else.
"When I realised the magnitude of it, I started screaming 'my daughter, my daughter'. I sat in my car and drove as fast as I could," said Karina.
Her only daughter, Fabiana, 12, was at their home when two powerful earthquakes rocked Venezuela within seconds of each other on 2
Thousands of forgotten WW1 soldiers recognised for first time
Around 1.4 million people from the subcontinent – now India, Pakistan and Bangladesh – are known to have served in the British Indian Army in WW1.
In the years that followed the war, officials visited every town and village in Punjab in an effort to record the names and fates of each of the 320,000 servicemen who came from that state alone.
Following India's partition in 1947 the state of Punjab was split between India and Pakistan.
