CNN's Simone McCarthy investigates a facility in China's Hebei province that faced sanctions for allegedly aiding Iran in oil trade. A former Philippines police chief is accused of crimes against humanity, and the assassination of a suspected cartel operative by CIA officers in Mexico is reported.

Former Philippines police chief Ronald dela Rosa, who oversaw former President Rodrigo Duterte’s deadly drug war, locked himself in his Senate office after the ICC unsealed a warrant accusing him of crimes against humanity.
