In the day's other news: A federal appeals court in New York ruled that President Trump's tax returns from 2011 must be turned over to state prosecutors. It's part of an investigation into payments to two women who claimed to have affairs with Mr. Trump.

The president had argued he has total immunity from state criminal law while he is in office. His lawyers said today they will now appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The government of Iran announced today it is running twice as many advanced centrifuges as before, key machinery to enriching nuclear material. It is Tehran's latest violation of the 2015 nuclear deal since President Trump renounced the agreement a year ago. And it came as the U.S. imposed new sanctions on high-ranking Iranian officials.

Separately, demonstrators in Tehran burned American flags and chanted "Death to America" outside the former U.S. Embassy. Protesters took over the site 40 years ago today.

In Iraq, fresh violence erupted in Central Baghdad, killing at least five people. Security forces opened fire on protesters closing in on key government buildings. Crowds scrambled for cover, as ambulances raced through streets.

In the south, funerals were held in Karbala, where security forces killed three protesters last night, after violence outside the Iranian consulate.
