Description
At least 100 people have been killed in Kerman, Iran after a pair of explosions at a commemoration for Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated in a U.S. drone strike in 2020. The deadliest attack on Iran in more than 40 years, and the fears this could widen the conflict in the Middle East. Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has called the death of Hamas official Saleh al-Arouri a "flagrant Israeli aggression" and says it will not go unpunished. Arouri was killed in an apparent drone strike from Israel. How Nasrallah's ominous warning is raising fears the Middle East crisis could escalate. With respiratory virus cases rising and hospital staffing shrinking across Canada, emergency rooms are being stretched to their limits. What some patients say they have experienced, and what doctors believe needs to be done to alleviate pressure on Canada's health care system now and in the future. And while international demand for coffee is rising, global sustainability challenges could make it more difficult to grow beans. How researchers in Finland are trying to address this by brewing cell-based coffee in a lab, and how long before it reaches your mug.
