Donald Trump Warns Iran 'Better Not' Retaliate After Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Killed

President Donald Trump holds up a fist after disembarking Air Force One. Donald Trump has warned Iran against launching retaliatory strikes after the country’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in an attack by the US and Israel. Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard in the early hours of Sunday that the 86-year-old dictator had died, and said it would launch its “most-intense offensive operation” against American and Israeli targets in response. But in a post on Truth Social on Sunday morning, Trump said: “Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever hit before. THEY BETTER NOT DO THAT, HOWEVER, BECAUSE IF THEY DO, WE WILL HIT THEM WITH A FORCE THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE!” Hours earlier, Trump announced Khamenei’s death in another Truth Social post and urged the Iranian people to seize “the single greatest chance … to take back their country”. The US and Israel described Saturday’s attacks on Iran as a “pre-emptive” strike against a Tehran government intent on developing nuclear weapons. It retaliation from Iran, with strikes reported in several Gulf countries including the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Hundreds of thousands of British nationals are believed to be present in the Gulf, and those in Bahrain, Israel, Palestine, Qatar and the UAE have been urged to register their presence with the Foreign Office. In a statement from Downing Street on Saturday, Keir Starmer “played no role” in the strikes on Iran. “But we have long been clear – the regime in Iran is utterly abhorrent,” he added. “They have murdered thousands of their own people, brutally crushed dissent, and sought to destabilise the region.” The PM said Iran had “backed more than 20 potentially lethal attacks on UK soil” in the last year alone. Starmer said Iran “must never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon” and called for the resumption of diplomatic efforts to prevent that from happening. He said: “Iran can end this now. They should refrain from further strikes, give up their weapons programmes, and cease the appalling violence and repression against the Iranian people – who deserve the right to determine their own future, in line with our longstanding position. “That is the route to de-escalation and back to the negotiating table.” Related...

The Best New Shows And Films To Stream On Netflix In March 2026

The Best New Shows And Films To Stream On Netflix In March 2026

A selection of what we'll be streaming on Netflix in March 2026 Recovered from the America’s Next Top Model exposé? Inspired to try a new film instead of rewatching the same old episodes of your favourite comfort show? Looking for something calming for your brain to add to your winding-down routine? Well, you’re in luck. Netflix is about to unleash a batch of new originals that tick off a good amount of entertainment wishlists everywhere as we head into March – and there are some seriously buzzy arrivals due to land in the month ahead. From the much-anticipated Peaky Blinders movie to Louis Theroux’s first ever investigation for the streaming giant, here are nine of the best Netflix additions to get stuck into this March… Vladimir (5 March) Tell me more: Based on Julia May Jonas’ bestselling novel, this buzzy limited series stars Rachel Weisz as a college professor who develops an obsession – and the mother of all crushes – on her new colleague, Vladimir, played by Leo Woodall. If the trailer is anything to go by, you can expect a sexy-but-strange thriller (the best kind!) with a few twists and laughs scattered along the way. We reckon everyone’s going to be talking about it. Netflix says: “ Full of sexy secrets, dark humor, and complex characters, Vladimir is about what happens when a woman is hell-bent on turning her fantasies into reality.” The Dinosaurs (6 March) Tell me more: Nobody was really asking for a Netflix dinosaur series narrated by Morgan Freeman and produced by Steven Spielberg, but now that it exists, it feels oddly alluring. Yes, we will be watching this on a Sunday night as we fight off the scaries and try to physically – and mentally – delete the Instagram story we accidentally posted after a couple of wines. Netflix says: “A new, four-episode documentary series charting the story of the rise and fall of the dinosaurs – where they came from, why they mattered, how they evolved, and how they met their ultimate fate [...] The Dinosaurs packs in a deep roster of prehistoric stars and many lesser-known species drawn from the latest fossil research.” Boyfriend On Demand (6 March) Tell me more: Netflix’s new K-rom-com series stars Blackpink member Jisoo as a web-toon producer worn down by the dull grind of her office job and everyday life. Her solution is to enter the world of a subscription-based virtual dating simulation – Boyfriend On Demand – to see if her fantasy life can provide more excitement. As she meets an IRL potential match, the friction between her virtual and real dating life begins to show. Netflix says: “Set against the familiar backdrop of office life, the series uses the ‘virtual boyfriend’ concept to explore the gap between perfect fantasy and imperfect reality in a way that feels relatable and fun.” War Machine (6 March) Tell me more: The streaming service’s self-proclaimed “sci-fi action spectacle” has been stirring up a fair amount of excitement among fans of the genre, drawing comparisons to Predator and Battleship. Starring Reacher’s Alan Ritchson, the movie is a new take on the old “hunters become the hunted” genre when the US army stumbles into unprecedented danger from an unknown threat during a training exercise. Netflix says: “During the final stage of U.S. Army Ranger selection, an elite team’s training exercise turns into a fight for survival against an unimaginable threat.” One Piece (10 March) Tell me more: The first series of live-action manga adaptation One Piece more than doubled Netflix’s anime film and series viewing back in 2023. It’s no big surprise, then, that it’s back for another round – and this time the usual well-loved adventurers, including Iñaki Godoy’s Monkey D. Luffy, are joined by new characters like the blue-nosed reindeer-boy hybrid Tony Tony Chopper. Netflix says: “Luffy and the Straw Hats set sail for the extraordinary Grand Line – a legendary stretch of sea where danger and wonder await at every turn. “As they journey  through this unpredictable realm in search of the world’s greatest treasure, they’ll encounter bizarre islands and a host of formidable new enemies.” Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere (11 March) Tell me more: Louis Theroux’s inimitable way of making the morally dubious talk themselves into looking like an absolute nob continues with his first Netflix original documentary. In this 90-minute film, Louis immerses himself in the manosphere and the so-called men’s rights movement. He spends time with key figures, attempting to unpick their way of thinking and find out what really lies at the root of the increasingly vocal movement. Netflix says: “With rare access and no holds barred, the acclaimed documentarian investigates a growing ultra-masculine network and its controversial influencers.” The Plastic Detox (16 March) Tell me more: If you’re after a documentary, this look into the impact of our obsession with plastic might interest and/or terrify you. It follows six couples who are facing unexplained fertility challenges, as they undergo a three-month experiment to reduce their plastic exposure and find out if it impacts their journey towards conceiving. Netflix says: “ The Plastic Detox explores the impact of everyday exposure to plastics and chemicals in plastic on health and fertility. With the help of scientists and researchers at the cutting edge of reproductive and environmental health, the film traces how these substances seep into daily routines and investigates whether changing daily habits can make a difference.” Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man (20 March) Tell me more: The already hugely-awaited Peaky Blinders movie gained even more traction when the trailer arrived at the end of February, revealing that Barry Keoghan would play the estranged son of Cillian Murphy’s Tommy Shelby . In true Peaky Blinders style, that means high stakes situations for Tommy, as he has to decide whether to continue to leave the gang in the past, or put an end to it once and for all. Netflix says: “Birmingham, 1940. Amidst the chaos of WWII, Tommy Shelby is driven back from a self-imposed exile to face his most destructive reckoning yet. With the future of the family and the country at stake, Tommy must face his own demons, and choose whether to confront his legacy, or burn it to the ground. By order of the Peaky Blinders…” Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen (26 March) Tell me more: We would happily die on the hill that a trailer that leaves you approximately 0% closer to knowing what the hell is happening is the best kind. Look, all we know is that Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen revolves around an ill-fated wedding and the vibes look excellently creepy and uncanny. Consider us sat. Netflix says: “Spanning a week, the series follows Rachel and Nicky in the lead-up to their wedding [...] The tone and visuals fall somewhere between Carrie and Rosemary’s Baby – with threads of humour, absurdity, tension, and paranoia.” MORE NETFLIX NEWS: 7 Documentaries To Stream Right Now If You Loved Netflix's Top Model Exposé Bridgerton's Steamy Bathtub Scene Was A Lot Less Sexy To Shoot Than It Was To Watch We Have Good News And Bad News For Anyone Hoping For Season 4 Of The Night Agent

Everything We Know About The Future Of Bridgerton, If You've Already Binged Season 4

Everything We Know About The Future Of Bridgerton, If You've Already Binged Season 4

The Bridgerton family as depicted in the season four finale Times may change and TV tastes evolve, but there’s something enduringly appealing about a period drama – especially when it’s one as doused in sauciness as Bridgerton . Four seasons in, Netflix’s Regency romp is still going strong after raking in nearly 40 million views in the new series’ first four days alone, proving that there’s still a market for yearning and a well-crafted sex scene . If you’re all done with season four and wondering what the future holds for Bridgerton, we’ve done all the research to answer fans’ most burning questions. Bridgerton has officially been renewed for two more seasons by Netflix, which will take us up to season 6. But with two more books and Bridgerton siblings left to take the spotlight after season 6 - it’s probable that won’t be the end (especially if Shonda Rhimes gets her way). Here’s everything we know so far… When will Bridgerton season 5 be filmed? Although there hasn’t been any official line on this yet, showrunner Jess Brownell teased that production on Bridgerton season 5 will begin “very soon” in an interview with Decider . This seems to tee up with recent unconfirmed reports claiming that filming would begin in March 2026. Claudia Jessie as Eloise and Hannah Dodd as Francesca in Bridgerton When will Bridgerton season 5 be released? That’s a trickier question to answer. Again, Netflix hasn’t given any official indication on this yet – but based on the previous Bridgerton release pattern of there being around 18 months to two years between seasons, we could be looking at a release date of late 2027 or early 2028. Having said that, Jess has said she is keen to cut down the two-year gap between seasons, recently telling Radio Times that the creators never planned for what many fans deemed a lengthy wait . “I think there’s only been a year and a half actually between season three and four,” she claimed. “And we are on track with season five so far, fingers crossed, to either meet or match that year and a half mark.” “We’re always trying to keep the trains going faster and faster,” she added. Which Bridgerton sibling will season 5 be about? It’s already been confirmed that seasons five and six will follow Bridgerton sisters Eloise and Francesca played by Claudia Jessie and Hannah Dodd , respectively. As for which of them will go first and get their story told in season five, Jess is still currently keeping us all guessing. There’s a possible hint that it could be Eloise’s turn next in season four’s post-credit sequence , where she declares “I do love a wedding”. Meanwhile, the death of John in season four also suggests that Francesca’s burgeoning relationship with Michaela could be the focus of the next run of episodes, too. Masali Baduza as Michaela and Hannah Dodd as Francesca in Bridgerton So far, Netflix hasn’t stayed entirely true to the order of the books Bridgerton is based on. While seasons one and two were faithful to the novels’ running order – following Daphne and then Anthony – the TV series switched the third and fourth stories to focus on Colin in season three and Benedict in season four. Should Netflix decide to follow the books again, season five will follow Eloise. But for now we’ll have to wait and see… If Netflix follows the order of the Bridgerton novels, Eloise will be next up to land her own season How many seasons of Bridgerton have been confirmed by Netflix so far? Bridgerton has officially been renewed for two more seasons by Netflix, which will take us up to season 6. And with with two more books and Bridgerton siblings left to take the spotlight after season 6 - it’s probable that won’t be the end. What have the creators of Bridgerton said about the show’s future? Creator and producer Shonda Rhimes has no qualms about sharing her plans for Bridgerton to run for “exactly eight” seasons. She’s also teased “a possibility for spin-offs”, which means as long as people are streaming Bridgerton, there could be a healthy future for the series. All four seasons of Bridgerton are streaming now on Netflix.

'Major setback for workers' - Hundreds protest in Lisbon against 'precarious' government labour reform package

'Major setback for workers' - Hundreds protest in Lisbon against 'precarious' government labour reform package

"Hundreds of people took to the streets of Lisbon in a massive protest against the Luis Montenegro government's proposed labour reform package. Footage from Saturday shows crowds marching through streets, carrying banners with slogans such as 'Down with labour package, a better life is possible,' 'against labour package' or 'for higher wages and rights.' "Today we are once again in the streets responding to the will of the workers to continue the struggle… To continue the fight against the labour package," said Tiago Oliveira, Secretary-General of the General Confederation of Portuguese Workers. The 'Trabalho XXI' package, presented in July 2025 by the government, includes more than 100 proposed changes to labour legislation. Among them are measures to ease dismissals, expand the use of fixed-term contracts and revise rules on working hours and parental flexibility. While the government argues these changes are necessary to modernise the economy and 'flexibilise' the market to compete globally, unions counter that the reforms would weaken job security and undermine collective bargaining rights. The protest follows a general strike held in December 2025. "We are talking about a labour package that increases the precariousness of labour relations, that deregulates working hours, that attacks trade union freedom, that attacks the right to strike, that facilitates dismissals, that increasingly weakens labour relations… We are demanding its withdrawal by the government," Oliveira added. The mobilisation, organised by the CGTP union confederation, marks the latest escalation in an ongoing dispute over workers’ rights. "The measures included in it will be highly detrimental to workers' rights, including those in the public sector! Specifically, the right to strike, particularly in the education sector," said Daniel Pereira Martins, Coordinator of STOP (Union of all education professionals). Pereira called the reform 'a major civilisational setback for workers’ rights' and added that the union could not fail to take part in the demonstration, suggesting that 'a new general strike may be necessary' to prevent the package from advancing."

'Absolute violation of all international law' - Madrid protest condemns US-Israeli strikes on Iran

'Absolute violation of all international law' - Madrid protest condemns US-Israeli strikes on Iran

"Demonstrators gathered in Madrid on Saturday to condemn what they describe as 'unjustified aggression' following the United States and Israel's joint attack on Iran. Footage shows demonstrators waving Iranian and Palestinian flags, with some holding up signs reading, 'down with imperialism,' 'stand with Iran' and 'stop the war in Iran.' The crowd can also be heard chanting, 'boycott Israel' and 'Israel killing, Europe sponsoring.' "The importance of being here today and almost every day is because of the aggression by Zionism and the United States towards the West Asia region. We have been suffering for more than two years of genocide in Gaza, attacks on Venezuela, Cuba and now Iran," one protester said. She described the United States as a 'bully', urging people to speak up against Washington as she accuses the state of seeking to 'impose its hegemony on the world.' "What we are seeing is the final offensive of a capitalism led by the United States and Zionism that is collapsing and is giving its last gasp through aggression, disruption and absolute violation of all international law," another demonstrator added. "Nothing is respected anymore. They invade countries, kidnap presidents, impose medieval blockades on the island of Cuba. And now, to top it all off, unjustified aggression from Zionism, from the United States," he continued. The United States and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran on Saturday, with US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing to 'destroy Iran's missiles'. In response, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps said that 'widespread missile and drone and attacks' against Israel were underway. US bases were also reportedly targeted in UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Iraq and Kuwait. Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez condemned the US and Israeli strikes, warning that they could heighten regional tensions and "contribute to a more uncertain and hostile international order"."

Tirana protest marathon! Molotovs, fireworks and water cannons rock Albanian capital during anti-gov rally

Tirana protest marathon! Molotovs, fireworks and water cannons rock Albanian capital during anti-gov rally

"Clashes erupted in Tirana on Saturday as an anti-government rally descended into confrontations between protesters and riot police, with Molotov cocktails, fireworks and water cannons deployed during hours of unrest in the capital. Footage shows hundreds of demonstrators marching through central Tirana, their mobilisation triggered by a widening corruption investigation involving senior officials. The rally, led by the opposition Democratic Party of Albania, first gathered outside the Prime Minister’s Office (Kryeministria) before moving toward the residence of former communist leader Enver Hoxha, now a museum. There, demonstrators attempted to breach police cordons, hurling fireworks and Molotov cocktails, setting the museum on fire. Riot police responded with water cannons in an effort to disperse the crowd as tensions flared. The Democratic Party is calling for the lifting of immunity of now former Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku following a corruption scandal, as well as Prime Minister Edi Rama's resignation and the formation of a technical government to oversee what it says should be free and fair elections. Rama reacted on social media platform X, posting images of recent attacks in Iran alongside a photograph from the Tirana protest showing a burning trash container. In a message laced with irony, he wrote: 'Albania with the free world against the mullahs of Tehran, the Albanian opposition with the trash against the citizens of Tirana.' Political tensions in Albania have escalated since December, when a special prosecution unit indicted Deputy Prime Minister Balluku for allegedly interfering in public tenders for major infrastructure projects and favouring certain companies. While Balluku denies the charges, she was dismissed by the PM on Thursday, while the Special Prosecution Office asked parliament to lift her immunity to enable her arrest. Edi Rama's Socialist Party, which secured a fourth consecutive term last year, holds a parliamentary majority. It remains unclear if or when lawmakers will vote to lift Balluku's immunity."
