President Trump has promised protesters in Iran that 'help is on its way' without specifying what exactly he intends to do. It comes as a human rights group, and an Iranian official speaking to the Reuters news agency, have put the death toll over the last two and a half weeks of protests at over 2000. Thai police say at least twenty-two people have been killed after a construction crane collapsed onto a moving train north-east of the capital, Bangkok. Authorities say around eighty others are injured. We bring you the latest from Bangkok. And a group of religious leaders and a member of parliament in The Gambia have tabled a bill seeking to overturn the country’s ban on female genital mutilation. The matter is now before the country's Supreme Court and is due to resume later this month. The case follows reports that two baby girls bled to death after undergoing FGM in the west African nation last year.
