Iranian anti-government demonstrations enter their fourth week

Iranians have defied a growing security crackdown to take to the streets, as anti-government demonstrations enter a fourth week. An Iranian human rights group estimates that at least one-hundred-and-eighty-five people have died in the protests so far.

Also, illegal deforestation in the Amazon has become a contentious issue in the Brazilian election.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Olga Oliker, Program Director, Europe and Central Asia, for the International Crisis Group and Kenneth Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch.
