US woman on death row survives two lethal injections in Tennessee - The Latest
A woman convicted of murdering a schoolmate 30 years ago has been taken to hospital after surviving two rounds of lethal injections in Tennessee.

Pike, 50, has spent three decades on death row after she was convicted of the murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer in 1995. A last-minute appeal to stop the lethal injection was overturned by the supreme court, but the state governor, Bill Lee, has suspended executions in Tennessee for the rest of the year.

As the fallout from the Iran conflict continues, the price of diesel has soared to record highs in the UK, Europe and US.
