Australia Rejects Ukrainian Calls For Russian Tennis Ban

The Australian Open has doubled down on its stance that Russian players will be free to compete at this year’s tournament under neutral status, after calls from Ukrainian officials for them to be banned entirely.

Iran Summons French Ambassador Over ‘Disgusting’ Cartoons

The Iranian Foreign Ministry has summoned Paris’ ambassador to the country over cartoons in a French magazine that insulted both the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the nation’s religious practices. Though the ministry did not name the magazine, it was apparently referring to Charlie Hebdo, which is notorious for satirical attacks on Islam.
