Newsday

Available for 29 days

The US and Iran again traded strikes in exchanges that continued into Thursday, as observers reported a "dramatic" drop in the number of ships travelling through the Strait of Hormuz. The US says it hit 90 military targets, some near the Strait. Iran says 14 people have been killed in the past two days. One of Africa's leading public health officials says that this stage of Ebola is one of the worst ones as over 600 people are confirmed dead. France has become the first side to reach the semi-finals, and Africa's last representative, Morocco, is heading home.
