Reformist Masoud Pezeshkian has been elected as Iran’s new president, after beating his hardline conservative rival Saeed Jalili by nearly three million votes.

Speaking after the result was announced, he said he would extend his hand to all Iranians.

Dr Pezeshkian, a 71-year-old heart surgeon and member of the Iranian parliament, is critical of Iran’s notorious morality police and caused a stir after promising “unity and cohesion”, as well as an end to Iran's “isolation” from the world.

Millions of people boycotted the elections over the lack of choice in the candidates, dominated by Islamic hard liners, and the impossibility of real change as long as the supreme leader tightly controls policies.

Kat Torres ganhou fama como modelo e influenciadora de beleza e bem-estar no Instagram. Ela oferecia serviços de coach com a promessa de "amor, dinheiro e a auto-estima que você sempre sonhou". Hoje, ela está detida em um em presídio em Bangu, no Rio de Janeiro, condenada a oito anos de prisão por tráfico humano e escravidão.

As investigações envolvendo Kat Torres começaram em setembro de 2022, quando duas jovens brasileiras que moravam na mesma casa que Kat Torres nos Estados Unidos foram dadas como desaparecidas - dando início a uma operação de buscas do FBI e das famílias das garotas.

CrowdScience listener Anthony from Cambodia asked us to find out why we lie and how conscious we are of the lies that we tell?

Click here to subscribe to our channel 👉🏽 https://bbc.in/3VyyriM

CrowdScience’s Caroline Steel is in the hot seat, on a journey where she will attempt to untangle the complex story behind lying.

It’s a subject scientists and psychologists have been studying for a long time. It’s also something writers, philosophers and theologists have been interpreting for thousands of years. But we’re only now really starting to get to grips with how it works as a human behaviour.

There are lies in our folklore, lies in the media and also lies in everyday conversation. It’s something we’ve all had to learn to navigate at some point in our lives.

Our journey will take us to meet the world’s ‘second best liar’, an award she picked up at West Virginia’s Liar Contest. We’ll also meet a comedian who’s proud of the down-to-earth plain honesty of Dutch people.

An academic who has studied thousands of children’s brains will explain when we first start learning to lie. And we’ll hear about new research using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is helping to show how the more we actually lie, the less our brain reacts telling us not to.

Caroline looks at how lying changes from culture to culture. Do we really all lie? And do we lie in the same way? The surprising and intriguing answer is found in how early it develops in us as a human behaviour.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised North Korea for "firmly supporting" Moscow's war in Ukraine, ahead of his first visit to Pyongyang in 24 years.

Mr Putin is expected to arrive in the capital to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday.

The two leaders last met in September at the Vostochny cosmodrome in Russia's far east, but this is Mr Putin’s first visit to Pyongyang since 2000.

The United States said it was concerned about the "deepening relationship between these two countries".

Four hostages kidnapped by Hamas from the Nova music festival on 7th October have been rescued in a daylight raid in central Gaza, as scores of Palestinians were killed by Israeli attacks in the same area.

Noa Argamani, 26, Almog Meir Jan, 22, Andrei Kozlov, 27, and Shlomi Ziv, 41, were freed during a "high-risk, complex mission" from two separate buildings in the Nuseirat area, the Israel Defence Forces said.

The IDF said the released hostages were all in good health. They were reunited with their families at a medical centre near Tel Aviv.

Dozens of Palestinians, including children, were killed by Israeli forces in the area where the operation took place.

Two hospitals in Gaza said they had recorded 70 bodies while Hamas's government media office said at least 210 people had been killed.

Israel Defence Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari said Cogat, the Israeli defence ministry body in charge of civilian policy in the occupied West Bank and Gaza, estimated there had been fewer than 100 casualties.

While a formal timeline for it to join the military alliance was not agreed at a summit in Washington DC, the military alliance's 32 members said they had "unwavering" support for Ukraine's war effort.

Nato has also announced further integration with Ukraine's military and members have committed €40bn ($43.3bn, £33.7bn) in aid in the next year, including F-16 fighter jets and air defence support.

More than 1,000 people are now reported to have died due to extreme heat in Saudi Arabia, while taking part in the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. Temperatures have reached close to 52C at the city’s Grand Mosque.

Many of those who have succumbed to the heat have been on unofficial trips, often without access to cooling measures including water stops and air conditioned areas.

Around two million people take part in the Hajj but each year tens of thousands of pilgrims make unofficial journeys as they cannot afford expensive official permits.

The world's most famous shipwreck has been revealed as never seen before.

The first full-sized digital scan of the Titanic, which lies 3,800m (12,500ft) down in the Atlantic, has been created using deep-sea mapping.

It provides a unique 3D view of the entire ship, enabling it to be seen as if the wayer has been drained.

The hope is that this will shed new light on exactly what happened to the liner, which sank in 1912 - killing 1,500 people.

Paris's mayor Anne Hidalgo has swam in the River Seine in a bid to show the water is clean enough for Olympic events.

Three Olympic and Paralympic events are set to be held in the Seine, including the triathlon, marathon swimming and Para-triathlon - though concerns were raised previously about the safety of the water.

Swimming in the Seine has been banned for a century because of the filthy water, caused by upstream industrial sewage and sanitation demands.

City swimming is set to be one of the major legacies of this summer's Olympic Games in France, with three open-air swimming areas set to be accessible from the quayside by 2025.

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania exposed a series of security lapses that allowed the gunman to mount his assassination attempt.

The gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to access a roof around 130 meters from the podium where Mr Trump was speaking.

It’s the job of the US Secret Service to protect sitting and former presidents. Somehow the gunman managed to breach the security perimeter with a rifle and reach an elevated position close to Mr Trump.

Video of the attack and the accounts of eyewitnesses suggest that members of the crowd became aware of the threat before the police and other security officials and attempted to alert them to the danger It was only when the gunman opened fire that officials recognised the danger and responded, with Thomas Crooks shot dead by armed officers.

At least 10 people were killed in Kyiv by the rare daytime attack, including two who died at the Okhmatdyt Children's Hospital, which sustained major damage during the blast.

Vitaliy Klitschko, Kyiv's mayor, said the bombardment was "one of the the worst attacks" on the capital since the start of the war.

A court in Moscow has issued an arrest warrant for the widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny on charges of extremism, according to state media.

The charges brought against Yulia Navalnaya, who lives outside Russia, in absentia are to do with her alleged "participation in an extremist society", Tass news agency said.

The opposition leader - Russia's most significant for the past decade - died in an Arctic Circle jail of natural causes, according to Russian authorities.

Mr Navalny had been serving 19 years on extremism charges that were widely seen as politically motivated.

But his widow accuses Russian President Vladimir Putin of killing him.

China has fiercely rejected accusations from Nato - whose leaders are meeting in Washington - that it's helping maintain Russia's war in Ukraine.


Beijing has described Nato's behaviour as "unreasonable", and urged nations to reflect on the "root causes" of the war.


The Nato gathering has mostly focused on support for Ukraine - but China's role has also come under the spotlight.


The military alliance said Beijing had become Russia's "decisive enabler", with its "large-scale support for Russia’s defense industrial base".


On Thursday, Nato will hold talks with the leaders of several Asia-Pacific countries about China.


Nato Secretary General Stoltenberg will hold a media briefing later in the day.

Protesters have taken to the streets in Nairobi, Kenya, to challenge the government over a series of unpopular tax proposals - including a 16% levy on bread.

On Tuesday, hundreds of protestors - most of them younger people - braved tear gas lobbed by police to march through the capital, Nairobi, bringing the city's central business district to a standstill.

The government had earlier defended the tax hikes, which had been projected to raise $2.7bn (£2.1bn), saying they were needed to cut reliance on external borrowing.

MPs are now debating the revised bill and are expected to vote on it next Tuesday.

Talks between the Taliban and the international community in Qatar today will centre on measures to combat the production of illegal drugs and the economy.

The UN-led meeting is the first to include Taliban officials since they seized power in Afghanistan more than three years ago.

However, the absence of women at the Taliban’s insistence has prompted criticism from rights groups and activists.

The Taliban’s spokesperson said they wanted to engage, but urged others not to interfere in issues they describe as internal, including women’s rights.
