Anger against the proposed legislation has grown since a video emerged earlier in the month, showing police allegedly beating and racially abusing a Black music producer.

Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has accused Israel of killing a high-ranking Iranian nuclear physicist and said that Tehran would retaliate in its own time. Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who Israeli intelligence accuse of heading a secret nuclear weapons programme, was gunned down on Friday. Analysts say the move will affect US President-elect Joe Biden’s widely expected plan to return to the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA nuclear deal.

The Azeri army has entered Agdam, a district that has been under Armenian control for almost thirty years. It is one of three areas Armenia has to hand back as part of a peace deal to end six weeks of fighting over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The other two districts are to be returned by December 1. While Azeris celebrate, Armenians are grieving the loss of land they have long claimed as their own.

Thirty years before the most recent conflict, Nagorno-Karabakh was mired in another war. It left a deadly legacy. Azerbaijan estimates 14,000 square kilometres (5,405 square miles) in and around the region are contaminated with mines and unexploded munitions.

Purdue Pharma, which makes the powerful painkiller, OxyContin, is set to plead guilty to criminal charges as part of an $8.3bn settlement for helping trigger an opioid crisis in the United States. Purdue Pharma has admitted it paid doctors and pharmacists to prescribe OxyContin widely, sometimes without a valid medical reason. But some state prosecutors say the company has got off lightly and the agreement does not hold it fully accountable for setting off an addiction epidemic that has killed more than 400,000 Americans in the last 20 years.
