Turkey's central bank says it's ready to take "all necessary measures" to ensure financial stability after the collapse of the lira. Also, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said the slump in the economy is due to mismanagement by President Hassan Rouhani's government, not the recently re-imposed US sanctions on Tehran. And Australian actress Ruby Rose has deleted her Twitter profile amid a backlash over her casting as Batwoman in an American TV series.
