Newsday

Available for over a year

Anger over corruption, the faltering economy and land reform are key issues as South Africans vote in the sixth democratic nationwide election since apartheid ended 25 years ago; the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, has made an unscheduled, fleeting visit to Iraq, amid growing tensions with Iran; and a missing piece of one of the giant stones that make up Stonehenge has been returned sixty years after it was taken from the ancient monument.
