Ukraine war: 'Russian attack' on city claimed by Moscow kills 13
At least 13 people have been killed by Russian missile strikes on the south-eastern city of Zaporizhzhia, Ukrainian officials say, BBC reported.
Dozens more were wounded, and several residential buildings destroyed.
The city is under Ukrainian control, but it is part of a region that Russia says it annexed last month.
Zaporizhzhia has been hit repeatedly in recent weeks, as Russia hits back at urban areas after suffering defeats in the south and north-east of Ukraine.
Parts of the Zaporizhzhia region, including its nuclear power plant - which is around 52km (30 miles) from the city - have been under Russian control since early in the invasion.
Ukrainian officials initially put the death toll at 17 but later revised it down.
The BBC's Paul Adams, who was recently in the city, says the buildings struck are not obvious military targets and the attacks seem entirely indiscriminate.
More than 60 civilians are understood to have been killed in and around Zaporizhzhia in the past nine days.
Ukrainian President Zelensky called the shelling "merciless strikes on peaceful people again".
"Absolute meanness," he said. "Absolute evil. Savages and terrorists. From the one who gave this order to everyone who fulfilled this order. They will bear responsibility. For sure. Before the law and before people."
The Ukrainian regional governor in Zaporizhzhia, Oleksandr Starukh, said 12 Russian missiles had partially destroyed a nine-storey building, and levelled five other residential buildings, according to BBC.
"There may be more people under the rubble. A rescue operation is under way at the scene. Eight people have already been rescued," he said on Telegram.
Kateryna Ivanova and her family were forced to run to the bathroom as their apartment filled with smoke, she told AFP news agency.
After managing to run into the street, Ms Ivanova said she was met by a neighbour who "screamed that her husband was dead".
Another resident, 38-year-old Lyudmyla, told Reuters news agency how she rushed to wake her children and move them to safety after a "roaring" blast "completely destroyed" the door to her home.
Her 10-year-old son Bohdan described the missile strike as "horrific" and said he was woken by the sound of screaming.
Meanwhile, a power line supplying the nuclear plant has been reconnected after shelling resulted in a cut on Friday night, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, said, BBC reported.
Mr Grossi said he would call on both sides to support a protection zone around the plant. Russia and Ukraine have blamed each other for the shelling.
Meanwhile, Russian divers are beginning a fuller examination of the damage done by Saturday's explosion on the road and rail bridge linking occupied Crimea with Russia.
Though limited traffic has resumed along one lane, a section of the bridge was brought down by the blast.
Security has been tightened and Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered a full investigation, according to BBC.
Iran protests: Germany calls for sanctions over violent crackdown
Germany's foreign minister has called for action against those responsible for the violent crackdown on protests in Iran, BBC reported.
Annalena Baerbock said Germany would ensure the European Union froze assets and imposed entry bans.
She described those "who beat up women and girls on the street" as standing on "the wrong side of history".
EU foreign ministers are expected to decide on sanctions on 17 October, according to Reuters news agency.
Speaking to a German newspaper, Baerbock also criticised those who "condemn to death people who want nothing other than to live free".
She told Iranians: "We stand by you, and will continue to do so."
The 22-year-old died in custody after being detained by Iran's morality police on 16 September.
Dozens of Iranians have lost their lives after taking to the streets to protest Ms Amini's death, according to BBC.
The Iran Human Rights group, based in Norway, said at least 185 people - including 19 children - had died since the unrest began.
Iran's state media say 20 members of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps, police and security forces have been killed.Videos and images circulating on social media over the weekend appeared to show Iran's security services entering schools and universities.
Female students at a university in Tehran were reported to have chanted "get lost" to President Ebrahim Raisi when he visited on Saturday.
Saturday also saw the country's state television channel hacked.
Viewers saw a mask appear on their screens followed by an image of the supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, surrounded by flames, BBC reported.
Many in Iran are now calling for the end of Islamic clerical rule.
EC makes public closed list of candidates for PR system
The Election Commission has made public the closed list of the candidates for the proportional election system. The Commission on Sunday morning made public the list of the House of Representatives and Province Assembly submitted by the political parties. According to the Election Commission, 48 political parties have submitted the closed list for the proportional election of members of the House of Representatives. Candidates will file nominations for the first-past-the-post (FPTP) seats of the federal and provincial elections today.
Protests in Iran: State-run live TV hacked by protesters
Iran's state-run broadcaster was apparently hacked on air Saturday, with a news bulletin interrupted by a protest against the country's leader, BBC reported.
A mask appeared on the screen, followed by an image of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei with flames around him.
The group called itself "Adalat Ali", or Ali's Justice.
It comes after at least three people were shot dead when protesters clashed with security forces in new unrest over the death of Mahsa Amini.
Ms Amini was detained in Tehran by morality police for allegedly not covering her hair properly. The 22-year-old Iranian Kurd died in custody on 16 September, three days after her arrest.
Her death has sparked an unprecedented wave of protest across the country.
One of the captions read "join us and rise up", whilst another said "our youths' blood is dripping off your paws".
The interruption lasted only a few seconds before being cut off.
Such displays of rebellion against Ayatollah Ali Khamenei are historically rare, and he wields almost complete power within Iran. But following Ms Amini's death, there has been some open dissent.
Also on Saturday, social media videos emerged which seemed to show female students at a university in Tehran chanting "get lost" during a visit by President Ebrahim Raisi, according to BBC.
Earlier in the day, two people were killed in Sanandaj, including a man shot in his car after he sounded his horn in support of protesters. A video shared online also showed a woman shot in the neck lying unconscious on the ground in Mashhad.
On Friday, Iran's Forensic Medicine Organisation said Ms Amini had died from multiple organ failure caused by cerebral hypoxia - and not from blows to the head, as her family and protesters contend.
Rights groups say more than 150 people have been killed since the protests in the Islamic Republic began on 17 September.
Shops in several cities have shut in support of the protesters, including in Tehran's bazaar where some set fire to a police kiosk and chased the security forces away, BBC reported.
The protests reaching the bazaar in Tehran will ring alarm bells with Iranian leaders who have counted the merchants as among their supporters.
