Iran uranium enrichment
Iran’s Parliament speaker says the country’s scientists have produced uranium enriched to 60 percent purity. Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf made the announcement on Twitter. That comes three days after Iran informed the International Atomic Energy Agency of its plan to enrich uranium at 60 percent. The country began the process on Wednesday. Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has said the measure is in line with Iran’s commitments under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Tehran has said the move is in response to an attack at its Natanz enrichment facility at the weekend. Iran has called the attack nuclear terrorism and blamed Israel.

He said tens of thousands of Yemenis are already starving to death, with another five million just a step behind. Lowcock called for urgent action to stop the unfolding catastrophe. Yemen has been devastated by war waged by its northern neighbor Saudi Arabia six years ago.
