Summary
United Nations sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme look set to be reintroduced after the failure of a last-ditch diplomatic push to delay them.

Also: Democrats have released a new batch of files relating to the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, human rights experts warn that Russia's strategy of repression is spreading to other countries, and the passenger train celebrates its 200th birthday.
