Sarah Mills: Where's the beef in the latest round of fast-food advertising?
Sarah Mills says a multi-millionaire CEO might want to stick to steak rather than classic burgers.
Iranian state TV on Sunday said Mojtaba Khamenei, son of the country’s late supreme leader, has been named his successor.
He had long been considered a contender, even before an Israeli strike killed his father at the start of the war, and despite never being elected or appointed to a government position.

Iran’s powerful paramilitary Revolutionary Guard answers to the supreme leader, and the younger Khamenei will have the central say in war strategy.
U.S. President Donald Trump told ABC News earlier Sunday he wants a say in who comes to power once the war is over; a new leader “is not going to last long” without his approval, he said.
Saudi Arabia’s Defence Ministry said Sunday it had intercepted a missile headed toward Prince Sultan Air Base, and two drones in northern Riyadh city
In an earlier post on X, it said it intercepted a drone over the Empty Quarter desert while heading toward the Shaybah oil field.
A separate post had the same details for the latter drone, but it was unclear if that was a different event.
The ministry also shared footage it said showed Saudi air defences intercepting and destroying “a number of drones” launched at it in recent days
Seventh American killed in Iran operations
The U.S. military announced an American service member has died of injuries sustained during an Iranian attack on troops stationed in Saudi Arabia.
The seventh American service member killed in the Iran war was an Army soldier, a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed to The Associated Press.
The service member died on Saturday from injuries sustained during a March 1 Iranian attack on the kingdom.
The American death toll since the start of combat operations now stands at seven. Six Army reservists were also killed in the March 1 attack on Kuwait.
All seven casualties from the war in Iran were Army soldiers. The first six deaths were Army reservists killed in a March 1 attack on a command center in a Kuwaiti port.
Headquarters of Revolutionary Guard air force destroyed
The Israeli military said in a statement that the headquarters struck in Teheran operated “the ballistic missile command, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) array, and other air force units.” The army’s spokesman, Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, said the headquarters were “destroyed.”
Israel has pounded Iran with widespread airstrikes for days, hitting more than 140 targets on Sunday alone, according to Defrin.
Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir spoke at an assessment held with the Home Front Command chief and other military officials, in comments provided by the army.
“Israel has already been in a state of prolonged emergency for two years,” Zamir said. “What we mainly need right now is perseverance and patience. It will take a long time yet, you need to be prepared for that, and however long it takes, it will take.”
The Israeli military also said an overnight strike by its navy killed five top commanders in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps while they were “hiding in a civilian hotel.”
It said they served in the Guard’s Quds Force’s Lebanon and Palestine corps and were involved in funding, arming and providing intelligence to Hezbollah and Hamas.
The Quds Force works heavily with Iran’s allied militant groups in the region.
Last week the Israeli military said it killed the acting commander of the Quds Force’s Lebanon Corps in an airstrike in Tehran.

Macron urges Iran to halt strikes
French President Emmanuel Macron said he had talks with Iranian President Massoud Pezechkian on Sunday and urged him to stop the strikes.
“I stressed the need for Iran to immediately cease its strikes against countries in the region,” Macron said on X.
He also called on Iran to guarantee freedom of navigation by “putting an end to the de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz.”
Meanwhile, Lebanon says over a half-million people have been displaced in the week of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.
The actual number is likely higher. Lebanon’s count of 517,000 refers to those who registered on the government’s online portal. The cash-strapped government has struggled to accommodate the large number of people who have fled their homes in large parts of southern and eastern Lebanon.
Israel over the past week has called on residents in dozens of villages across southern Lebanon and the entirety of Beirut’s southern suburbs to evacuate as the fighting intensifies.
Israelis along the northern border with Lebanon Sunday watched and worried as the area grew increasingly militarized during yet another round of fighting with the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah.
Military jeeps and trucks with tanks on them could be seen on roads close to the border.
Israel’s renewed offensive began last week after Hezbollah launched rockets toward northern Israel during the war’s opening days.
The subsequent strikes have been the most intense since a November 2024 ceasefire.
