## Resource

The US military says some of its navy destroyers have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, and are now operating in the Gulf, as part of President Trump's operation to break Iran's blockade. Also: Two people have been killed in Leipzig, as a car drives into a crowd in the centre of the German city. And scientists say deep-sea mining in parts of the world’s oceans would likely breach global commitments to protect nature.
