The Middle East has this weekend been reshaped following a massive, coordinated strike by US and Israeli forces; a strike that has killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.
After a year of escalating drone wars and failed nuclear negotiations, President Donald Trump followed through on his promise of "speed and violence," hitting major targets across the country in a co-ordinated attack with Israel.
But what happens now? Are neighbouring countries safe? And is Iran now free from the current regime?
And in headlines today, Those with flights to or transiting through the Middle east are being told to monitor flights and stay in touch with airlines; Oodnadatta in the centre of Australia cut off by storms as one life has been lost in the flood water; Michael Jackson's estate is being sued for child sex trafficking; The Matildas have won their Asian Cup opener against Philippines 1-0
