Iran: The Green Movement 10 years on
A review of the week with the latest news.
It's ten years since hundreds of thousands of Iranians took to the streets in what became known as the 'Green Movement'. We'll hear from those who were there at the time and ask how it changed the country.
Also in the programme: Mexico's refugee agency has turned to the UN for help after being overwhelmed by asylum applications; and the World Health Organisation decides against declaring the latest Ebola outbreak an international emergency - but is the vaccination strategy working?
Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Ian Black, a visiting senior fellow at the Middle East Centre at the London School of Economics and the former Middle East editor for the Guardian newspaper, and Ayesha Siddiqa, an expert on civil-military relations in South Asia.
