General Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' elite Quds Force, has been killed by US forces in Iraq; the Australian navy is evacuating people trapped in the fire-ravaged town of Mallacoota on the Victoria coast; and a newly published letter, written by TS Eliot in 1960, has shed fresh light on the writer's relationship with a woman he corresponded with for 26 years.
