Iran arrests Nobel Peace Prize winner Narges Mohammadi
Security forces arrested Mohammadi along with other activists at a memorial service
The Iranian security forces have arrested the winner of the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize, Narges Mohammadi. She - and several other people seized - were attending a memorial service. Mohammadi, who's spent more than ten years in detention for her activism, had been granted temporary leave from prison and was in poor health. We speak to her son, Ali Rahmani, to get more details about the arrest.
Also on the programme: Democrats in the US release a batch of photos from the estate of the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein; and we ask why pop music has taken a dark turn.
