What is going on in Iran?

What’s happening in Iran? We look into the death of Iranian woman Mahsa Amini and why it’s causing so much anger in Iran and around the world.

We chat to Naz Almasi, who was arrested at the age of 18 for participating in protests in Iran.

She is deeply concerned about her friends and family who have no way of communicating with the outside world with intermittent or no internet access.

Naz says "any act of protest is illegal and it has very violent consequences" and wants the international community and leaders to act.

Headlines:

- Covid isolation could be scrapped
- Russia to announce its annexation of parts of Ukraine
- Australian advisor to Myanmar sentenced
- Coolio has died age 59
- Queen’s death revealed
- Indigenous voice referendum to be held in next financial year
