Pro-Government Protests in Iran

Government supporters rally in Tehran after two days of anti-government protests across cities in Iran.

Thousands of government supporters have rallied in Tehran as the Iranian authorities urge people not to join any further anti-government protests. But reports suggest some are taking to the streets for a third day.

Also in the programme: The stepson of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf talks about the legacy of Africa's first female president; and Ringo Starr has been knighted at the age of 77.
