been assassinated by a us air strike at baghdad airport. it's a huge loss to the establishment. but his steph has brought millions together in morning. a show of strength for a regime recovering after weeks of anti—government protest —— death. a funeral to what is held across the country. among those covering in the holy city of qohm is this man. he is a journalist and regime supporter who is documenting the crowd for his youtube channel qom news.

to further suppress news of the pandemic, restrictions are placed on journalists. pandemic, restrictions are placed onjournalists. but ali continues to report for his youtube channel qom news. he is backed by around's religious establishment and wants eve ryo ne establishment and wants everyone to go to the polls to show their support for the regime. it's only after millions turn out for the election that ali

turns his attention to the virus. before ali can reveal why the situation is so severe, his youtube channel falls silent. he thinks he has contracted the virus. then, footage emerges on social media showing scores of body bags lining up in the qom mortuary.

with news of the fatality starting to break, linda, a young woman from tehran is worried about catching the virus. we have changed her name to protect her identity and her words are spoken by an actor. linda recently married her long—term partner. after

several years battling cancer, it was supposed to be a fresh start for the couple. still, warned about the illness, they have no choice but to shield at home. for linda, that means quitting herjob. eventually, on the 23rd of march, president hassan rouhani announces a lockdown in all major iranian cities. the streets of tehran for silent.

—— fall. but after weeks of official state m e nts but after weeks of official statements downplaying the virus, not everyone is taking the lockdown seriously. among those partying in tehran are linda and amir‘s neighbours. his words are also spoken by an actor.

other rich iranians flocked to beach resorts on the caspian sea to celebrate the uranian new year. among them is the parkour athletes.

with little else to do under lockdown, he starts posting content on his social media, including an intimate video dedicated to his girlfriend. it's a risky move in a country run by religious conservatives, and one that doesn't go unnoticed. for the first time ever, places of worship have been closed to the public in iran. a move that sparks protests in the holy city of qom.

while many iranians move and gather freely, shops and businesses remain closed. and the impact on the contrary‘s economy is devastating. after one month and with an official death toll ofjust under 5500, the iranian government announced the easing of lockdown. by the end of ramadan, all coronavirus restrictions are lifted.

according to the president, the virus it doesn't control. ——is under control. it's been two months since lockdown restrictions were lifted in a run and the hospitals have seen another surge of cases. ——in iran.

this is the biggest hospital in iran marks, videos are posted online showing beds and medicines in short supply. the nurses words are spoken by an actor to protect his identity.

the government admits that iran is in the middle of a second wave. they are losing their grip on the pandemic and discontent is rising. a crackdown begins against citizens who have defied the regime. among those rounded up is parkour athlete, who according to the authorities posted indecent

images on his social media account during the lockdown. he hasjust he has just escaped he hasjust escaped bail and is now headed to turkey where he hopes to be granted refugee status. he attempts to cross the border at night with a group of afghan migrants. but they are ambushed by iranian soldiers. he

retreats and seeks refuge in a local village. onjuly 21, iran announces a record 229 deaths in a single day. but the official mortality rates don't add up. having recovered from the virus, this journalist decides to investigate for his youtube channel.

asa as a hardliner, he wants to hold president rouhani's moderate government to account. officially, just 111,000 are said to have died from coronavirus. they avoid scrutiny over the death toll for now. but an economic crisis is looming. the economy had already been

suffering ever since president donald trump impose sanctions in 2018. but the currency is now in freefall after the white house placed even more trade restrictions on iran, amid the pandemic. having quit herjob at the start of the crisis, leda and her husband amir are struggling to afford their weekly shop. with 20,000 to mancz to the

dollar, the goods appear cheap. but the average wage iran is just $150 per month and every cent accounts. —— counts. the government cannot afford to reimpose lockdown. instead, they blame the new spike in coronavirus cases on the public, who are not obeying the rules around social distancing.

but resisting the iranian regime it does come at a price. it has been a month since parkour athlete alireza tried

to cross the border into turkey. there have been no social media posts since and no—one knows where he is. it is feared that he has fallen back into police custody. ali's theory about the excess mortality figures proves to be true.

the lead documents reveal that there was already an outbreak of coronavirus back injanuary, as millions gathered to mourn the death of qasem soleimani. the first officially recorded death was exactly two weeks after his funeral. eight months later, and with the cases continuing to rise, thousands have once again taken to the streets. it is muharram, a month of remembrance that is sacred to shear muslims.

some lessons have been learned since the last period of mourning. but as the crowds grow ahead of oshoala, the 10th day of the harem, and the biggest day in the scheer calendar, so does talk of a third wave —— muharram. —— shia.

hello. well, i think most of us would agree that the last few days have been pretty decent on the weather front. we've had plenty of sunny spells. it's been pleasantly warm, and this spell of settled weather is going to continue through the weekend. there might be one or two showers in the far south of the country, brought by this low pressure which is actually close to spain and portugal. that's just encroaching into the south of the uk. but on the whole, it's looking absolutely fine, and the advice is make the most of this weekend because next weekend could be very different. much more like autumn. so, this is what it looks like early on saturday morning. you can see the showers there crossing the english channel, just about approaching cornwall and devon there by the second half of the morning or around about lunchtime. let's zoom in to the south and see where the showers will be. so, the thinking is cornwall, devon, maybe somerset, one or two possibly sneaking into the isle of wight as well, but certainly north of the ma, it's looking mostly sunny. in fact, a beautiful afternoon on the way. bit of a breeze still blowing out of the east—northeast, but even in the north of the country, temperatures could nudge up to close to 20 celsius. the thinking is that later

on in the afternoon, it might cloud over around the aberdeenshire coastline and also the north of england. there's a lot of cloud here in the north sea and that north—easterly wind will push some of that cloud closer to land. but the evening on the whole is looking fine for most of us on saturday. sunday's weather forecast is going to be a mostly bright if not sunny day. the winds will be just that bit lighter in the south and no further showers are expected in the south, so, a dry day and a warm one as well. temperatures possibly hitting the mid 20s in the south east of the country, cooler on the north sea coast, only around 15. the outlook for early next week, it is still looking fine, but midweek onwards, it's a complete change in fact, weather systems are expected to spiral up in the atlantic and head in our direction. yep, you guessed it. autumn will be knocking on the door. so, a big change in the way for around about tuesday, wednesday onwards. now, the beginning of the week is looking absolutely fine and on monday, the south of the country with temperatures still hitting around 25 celsius, a little cooler 00:28:50,619 --> 2147483051:51:10,024 by tuesday and from 2147483051:51:10,024 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 wednesday, it's all change.
