Qasem Soleimani: What will it mean for the Middle East?

We assess the regional ramifications of the Iranian general's death.

Huge crowds have packed the streets of Iran's capital Tehran for the funeral of military commander Qasem Soleimani. Soleimani was assassinated in a US drone strike in Iraq on Friday, on the orders of President Donald Trump. We assess what his death will mean for the other countries in the region, and what the wider ramifications may be.

Also, in Australia bushfires continue to burn across the country. Hundreds of thousands of animals are believed to have died. We speak to a man who runs a wildlife park to hear how it has been affected by the ongoing disaster.

And the former Hollywood producer, Harvey Weinstein, is standing trial. He's accused of raping one woman in a hotel room in 2013 and sexually assaulting another in his apartment in 2006. We get the latest from court.
