Has the mood changed in Iran?

Newsday

Available for over a year

Iran’s supreme leader - Ayatollah Ali Khamenei - is set to take the unusual step of leading Friday prayers in Tehran later today. A global study has found that Sepsis - also known as blood poisoning - is the cause of nearly a fifth of all deaths worldwide. This is more than double the number previously thought, and it makes it a bigger killer than cancer. Imagine being an actor on a film or television set about to shoot your first make-believe sex scene. Who are you going to turn to for help and advice, or even protection? This is the responsibility being taken on by intimacy coordinators, who have been found on ever more film sets in the two years since the beginning of the Me Too movement.
