An outbreak of the deadly Nipah virus in India's West Bengal state has sparked concern in parts of Asia, with some tightening screening measures at airports. Five healthcare workers in West Bengal were infected by the virus early this month, one of whom is in a critical condition. Some 110 people who were in contact with them have been quarantined. We speak to a doctor in India to hear more about the virus. Verified videos emerging from Iran show bodies piled up in a hospital, snipers stationed on buildings and CCTV cameras being destroyed, following the unprecedented crackdown on protests earlier this month. We speak to our correspondent from BBC Verify. Pop star Gary Barlow has spoken out about his struggles with eating disorders in a new documentary. We speak to men who have had them in the past to hear their experiences.
