Under strict Islamic rule, it is mandatory for women in Iran to wear the hijab in public.

However, since the death of 22 year old Mahsa Amini while in custody, the country has spiralled into chaos.

For weeks, thousands of women have been burning their hijabs and cutting their hair in defiance of the strict Islamic Republic.

The world has been gripped by the uprising, unable to turn a blind eye.

Trump declares new trade deal with China “done,” featuring rare earth material supply and China retaining student visas, pending Xi’s approval.

President Donald Trump says a new trade deal with China is “done,” following intense negotiations in London.

The agreement includes China’s pledge to supply critical rare earth materials to U.S. companies, while the U.S. will drop plans to revoke Chinese student visas.

The deal still awaits final approval from President Xi Jinping, but it could mark a turning point after months of tariff tensions.
