Live Updates Prince Harry and Meghan Markle documentary is due to drop on Netflix after weeks of speculation over its contents. Trailers for Harry and Meghan landed on December 1 and December 5 and suggested the couple will tell an emotionally charged story about their experiences of the palace, family and media during royal life. Meghan could be seeing crying in several shots and photographers featured prominently.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 's Netflix documentary has sparked a backlash before it has aired—this time over the portrayal of the British media in trailers, in an echo of their Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021.

Iran has executed a man sentenced to death for taking part in the mass demonstrations that have spread across the country, according to state media. The Mizan news agency, which is run by Iran's judiciary, reported on Thursday that Mohsen Shekari—who had been charged with moharebeh , or"waging war against God," for closing a street and injuring an officer with a knife during protests—was hanged early that morning. Shekari had been arrested on September 25 and was convicted by Tehran's Revolutionary Court, Mizan wrote. Activists and experts say the charge of moharebeh, which carries the death penalty, has been used by the authorities to quell protests since 2019. The non-profit Iran Human Rights tweeted about the execution on Thursday , writing that Shekari was sentenced to death in "show trials without any due process" and calling for action against the government in Tehran. Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, the organization's director, added in a follow-up Twitter post: … [Read more...] about Iran executes first protester since beginning of unrest—report

The town of McEwen was hit by intense flooding Saturday, along with the rest of Middle Tennessee, and shattered the state's rainfall record with 17.02 inches in 24 hours, the Associated Press reported. The state hadn't seen record-breaking rainfall since 1982, when 13.6 inches came down in 24 hours, according to the National Weather Service. McEwen, which is in Humphreys County, was issued a flash flood watch before the rain began, with weather forecasters expecting just four to six inches. Weather service meteorologist Krissy Hurley, in Nashville, said the worst storm the middle of the state had seen before Saturday produced nine inches of rain. "Forecasting almost a record is something we don't do very often," Hurley told AP. "Double the amount we've ever seen was almost unfathomable." The flooding in Tennessee has left at least 22 people dead as rescue crews searched Sunday for missing residents. For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below.
