Iran on Saturday executed an exiled journalist over his online work that helped inspire nationwide economic protests in 2017.  Ruhollah Zam, 47, was killed a little more than a year after authorities tricked him into traveling to Iraq, where he was abducted. Zam was one of several opposition figures successfully seized by Iranian intelligence operatives abroad in recent months as Tehran struggles under the weight of U.S. sanctions. Kidnapping and executing Zam, who lived in Paris under what Iran described as French government protection, likely will further chill an already-scattered Iranian opposition across the West.  The 2017 protests, which continued into 2018, represented the biggest challenge to Iran's rulers since the 2009 Green Movement protests and set the stage for similar mass unrest in November of last year.  Iran on Saturday executed an exiled journalist over his online work that helped inspire nationwide economic protests in 2017.

There have been 50 percent more heavy goods vehicles on the roads leading to the Channel crossing in the last three weeks, sources close to the president of the Hauts-de-France region, home to Calais, have said.

No one knows for sure what exactly happened when businesswoman Melissa Caddick disappeared from her cliffside mansion last month.   But detectives are taking claims that the mother-of-one, 49, may have run off and doesn't want to be found seriously. At least two sources interviewed by police believe it's a credible scenario, although Daily Mail Australia has established that her passport is in detectives' hands.  Ms Caddick vanished two days after she had been raided by authorities over claims she swindled investors in her wealth management company of up to $40 million.   Kate Tejano, a close friend of Ms Caddick's husband Anthony Koletti, has publicly suggested she chose to disappear 'for a couple of weeks while she figures out what's going on.' Ms Tejano admitted it was 'just an assumption' - and the idea Ms Caddick 'pulled a runner' remains just a theory.  Someone could have harmed her, she could have harmed herself, or something else coul

An Illinois dental practice is being sued by its staff after a newly-hired dental hygienist was arrested and charged with hiding secret cameras in the bathrooms. Fourteen employees are seeking $50,000 each in damages from Aspen Dental Management in Crestwood, a town 20 miles southwest of Chicago.
