Dozens dead in North America winter storm

Dozens of deaths have been linked to a severe Arctic freeze in the US and Canada.

A state governor says the severe winter storm that has swept across North America has left the city of Buffalo, New York, looking like a war zone. We speak to a reporter in Buffalo, hear from people whose Christmas plans have been ruined by the storm, and we explain what effect extreme cold has on the human body.

We look back at 100 days of anti-government protests in Iran and hear views by Iranians on the developments.

We catch up with Ukrainians we’ve spoken to over the last 10 months, who share their feelings about Christmas celebrations in a time of war.

We hear about Rohingya refugees who have reached Indonesia after spending a month at sea.
