Following Graham Platner being accused of sexual assault, Democrats have called on him to drop out of the race considered pivotal to their chances of gaining control of the US Senate.

In a video posted online, Platner said his decision was not an admission of guilt but due to Democrats' threats to cut off campaign support. He called the assault allegation "false".

He said he would officially file to withdraw from the race once he's assured his replacement in the race against Republican Susan Collins is selected in a "transparent and democratic" way.

The US says it hit 90 targets, in a second day of strikes on Iran after Donald Trump earlier threatened to "hit them hard" .

Several Gulf nations have since reported apparent Iranian attacks - this included explosions in Bahrain's capital Manama, Kuwait intercepting missiles and drones, and Qatar issuing a security alert.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Iran's chief negotiator with the US, said America "still hasn't learned that bullying and breaking promises are no longer cost-free”.

Iranian media reported that explosions were heard in areas along the country's southern coast and that strikes have hit Iranian-controlled islands in the Gulf.

Iran said it responded with retaliatory attacks on US military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait in the early hours of Wednesday.

Before a deadly outbreak this year, Bangladesh had made "substantial progress" towards eliminating measles, according to the World Health Organisation. Vaccination rates had been higher than 90%.

But that progress has quickly come undone. Since March, government figures show nearly 750 people have died, mostly children. The death toll includes confirmed and suspected cases of measles. But Unicef says the true numbers are likely higher. 

Government figures show more than 120,000 suspected and confirmed measles cases since mid-March, and there are still nearly 1,000 new cases daily. 

But why has this happened? The BBCs’ South Asia Correspondent Azadeh Moshiri reports from a measles ward in the Bangladeshi city of Mymensingh.

The US has launched a new round of strikes on Iran after President Donald Trump said the ceasefire was over and signalled he'd "hit them hard again" following an overnight exchange of attacks.

Explosions have been reported by Iranian state media in parts of the country's south, including Sirik and Bandar Abbas - port cities on the Strait of Hormuz.

After the latest strikes, Trump said in a post on Truth Social: "This is in retribution for yesterday's bombing of ships by Iran. If it happens again, it will get much worse!"

Iranian State television aired a statement on Wednesday from the country's joint military command, warning countries in the region that "providing support" to the U.S. will make them "a legitimate target".

The Iranian authorities warned any attack from the US would be met with an "immediate response".

US Central Command (Centcom) said the latest strikes were carried out to "further degrade Tehran's ability to threaten freedom of navigation" in the vital waterway.

In a statement it added: "The United States is holding Iran accountable for recent unjustified aggression against commercial shipping and civilian crews freely navigating a vital international waterway."

In response, Iran's foreign minister says: "We do not answer vulgarity with vulgarity, but with action: fearlessly and with great valour”.

Trump's comments follow both countries exchanging attacks.

World leaders are gathering in Ankara, Turkey for a Nato summit, despite tensions between Donald Trump and Nato allies over financial contributions and the Iran war.

The US president hasn’t hidden his consternation with European leaders, and has suggested he is only attending ‘out of respect to President Erdogan’.

Turkey’s leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan has come under criticism for a crackdown on dissent in the country, which has led to over 200 arrests of activists, journalists and public figures in the lead up to the summit. So how has he taken on such a pivotal role within Nato?

Tristan Redman from The Global Story speaks to BBC correspondent and presenter, Mark Lowen, who was based in Istanbul for five years, before he was detained and banned from the country while on a reporting trip last year.
