Iran: Fresh crackdown on protests
Security forces reportedly attacked protesters at the burial of a young woman.
Anti-government protests are continuing in Iran, six weeks after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody. Thousands turned out on Wednesday night in fresh demonstrations across Iran to mark 40 days since her death. In a new crackdown on Thursday, security forces were reported to have attacked protesters who had gathered to mourn the death of another young woman. We'll speak to our correspondent to find out more and hear from people who have been protesting.
Also, we speak to three Ukrainian women to hear how they are dealing with widespread power cuts and blackouts caused by Russian bombing.
And we'll discuss a video released on social media in China, showing a drone carrying an armed robot dog. We'll talk about the drone, and what the future of modern war might look like.
