Reporting Iran's protests

We’ll spend some time in BBC Persian’s newsroom, as they report, analyse and explain the current wave of protests in Iran. The demonstrations were triggered by the death of a young woman in the custody of the morality police. BBC Persian’s top story at the moment is on the killing of a 16-year-old protester, Nika Shakarami, and how the authorities have treated her family since she died.

At least 38 people have been killed in a gun and knife attack at a childcare facility in north-eastern Thailand. More than 20 children are among the dead, with victims as young as two years old. We'll hear how the editor of BBC Thai has been covering the story for his audiences.

And we’ll go to our online team publishing a live page with the latest news from Ukraine, after rocket attacks overnight on residential buildings in Zaporizhzhia. We’ll also hear messages from people who are in the city.
