Iran: Mahsa Amini one year on

Saturday marks a year since Mahsa Amini, a young woman in Iran, died in state custody, after she’d been arrested by the country’s morality police for allegedly not wearing her veil properly. It sparked an uprising, led by women and girls demanding not just an end to the compulsory dress code, but much wider freedoms. We discuss the impact of the protest movement with our correspondent. We also bring interviews with a student and a filmmaker – both in Tehran – about their dealings with morality police. And we hear from a mother who lost her eye during the protests while her children watched, and has now left the country.

Aid teams are battling to help survivors and locate the dead five days after devastating flooding hit eastern Libya. Thousands of people were killed when two dams burst in the wake of Storm Daniel, washing away whole neighbourhoods in the city of Derna. We speak to some of the survivors.

The authorities in eastern Libya insist they did not order the residents of Derna to stay in their homes before Sunday's devastating storm. We hear more from our correspondent in the region.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
