in an interview with our political editor chris mason liz truss has been saying she wants to see growth and admitted that might mean doing unpopular things. and admitted that might mean doing unpopularthings. her and admitted that might mean doing unpopular things. her government is considering removing a cap on bankers' bonuses as part of a post—brexit shake—up of rules in the city. the prime minister is in new york to meet world leaders at the united nations. let's hear part of her interview. what is crucial is getting economic growth going because that's what we need to get more investment into the united kingdom to get higher paid jobs, to get those opportunities for people right across the country. we will be working to strain every sinew to make things happen, to get britain moving, and to get that economic growth going that we need

to make sure we have a secure future. �* , ., , ., future. but if you “ump on the economich future. but if you jump on the economic accelerator - future. but if you jump on the economic accelerator the - future. but if you jump on the | economic accelerator the bank future. but if you jump on the . economic accelerator the bank of england will be obliged to jump on the break and that will mean, will it not, people will be paying more for their mortgages? i it not, people will be paying more for their mortgages?— it not, people will be paying more for their mortgages? i don't accept that analysis- _ for their mortgages? i don't accept that analysis. the _ for their mortgages? i don't accept that analysis. the energy - for their mortgages? i don't accept that analysis. the energy packagel for their mortgages? i don't accept i that analysis. the energy package we announced, and the business secretary will say more about that this week, is projected to lead to a lower level of inflation, by up to five percentage points. because a lot of the cost of inflation is being driven by higher energy prices, primarily caused by vladimir putin's war in ukraine. the intervention the uk government is undertaking will help reduce inflation and also boost economic growth. i don't accept that analysis. i think it is vital that we stepped in. there was a real fear of businesses going under this winter. many households would not have been able to afford those bills. ithink it is have been able to afford those bills. i think it is the right thing

to do to step in, to help in the short—term. whilst we are making sure we are never in that position again. and that people of britain have that long—term energy security. lots of families at the moment are really struggling. they will see one of the things you are happy to happen is for bankers to get bigger bonuses. whose side are you on? what bonuses. whose side are you on? what i want to see — bonuses. whose side are you on? what i want to see is — bonuses. whose side are you on? what i want to see is a _ bonuses. whose side are you on? wiat i want to see is a growing economy so everybody in our country has the high jobs they deserve, the investment into their town or city or area, investment into their town or city orarea, new investment into their town or city or area, new businesses being set up, that's the kind of britain that i want to see.— i want to see. and if the rich get richer, i want to see. and if the rich get richer. that's — i want to see. and if the rich get richer, that's fine? _ i want to see. and if the rich get richer, that's fine? and - i want to see. and if the rich get richer, that's fine? and if - i want to see. and if the rich get richer, that's fine? and if that i richer, that's fine? and if that means taking _ richer, that's fine? and if that means taking difficult - richer, that's fine? and if that l means taking difficult decisions which will help britain become more competitive, help britain become more attractive, help more investment flow into our country, yes, i'm prepared to take those decisions because what i care about

is our country being successful and everyone in our country, wherever they live, wherever they are from, having those opportunities. you are willin: to having those opportunities. you are willing to do — having those opportunities. you are willing to do unpopular _ having those opportunities. you are willing to do unpopular things - having those opportunities. you are willing to do unpopular things if- willing to do unpopular things if you think it could contribute to a big economy?— you think it could contribute to a big economy?_ that | you think it could contribute to a - big economy?_ that was big economy? that's right. that was art of the big economy? that's right. that was part of the interview _ big economy? that's right. that was part of the interview with _ big economy? that's right. that was part of the interview with our - part of the interview with our political correspondent chris mason in new york. the un general assembly is taking place at the moment in new york hence lots of coverage from there. removing a cap on bonuses for bankers is one of the proposals we may hear announced on friday. then wright has more on those comments from the prime minister. —— ben wright. reports emerged in the ft last week that as part of the new chancellor's kwasi kwarteng's fiscal statement which will happen on friday, he is expected to announce that he will lift the cap on bankers' bonuses which has been in place since 2014. the uk were subjected to these rules

when it was part of the european union. —— is subject to these rules. he wants to lift a limit on bonuses which currently means a banker cannot have more than twice their salary paid in bonuses. the chancellor will reverse the planned rise in corporation tax by 25%, he wants that to go, he thinks that isn't competitive, he wants to spur investment in businesses and he thinks that's one way to do it. also the national insurance rise will be scrapped. both of those policies were essential to theresa may's pitch to the tory parties. she did not swat away the idea that there will be a cap on bankers' bonuses, which suggests that will be part of the chancellor's plan. and as chris also suggested, this invites claims of unfairness. if people are paying corporation tax, if people are

receiving bonuses, they will do well out of these measures but she says she's willing to be unpopular if it drives growth. that her current mantra. the government wants to get the growth rate up to 2.5% pretty quickly. it thinks this sort of economic recipe is the way do it. labour, the opposition parties, they all disagree. let's find out a little bit what indeed other people make of some of what we are hearing. it's all in the build—up to the announcement the chancellor will make on friday. in a few minutes i will be talking to somebody from the world of manufacturing and finding out what businesses want particularly from tomorrow's announcements, as far as they are concerned. but let's take a wider view. they are concerned. but let's take a widerview. let's they are concerned. but let's take a wider view. let's find out the view from labour. we can speak now to the shadow culture secretary, lucy powell. the prime minister is prepared to be unpopular if it helps growth, that's her mantra. i think there is a big question over

whether it would help growth in any case, as well as being deeply unfair. ithink case, as well as being deeply unfair. i think the notion is that somehow if you give more money to a small few predominately based in london if you take the bankers bonus tax, that that will somehow trickle down to everybody else. that is an economic model that has been tried and tested over the last 30 years and tested over the last 30 years and has been proven to not be effective, which is why we saw under the previous government more of an emphasis on so—called levelling up. i don't think these economic plans are going to bring that economic growth that she describes in any case but also they are deeply unfair because of who benefits, and who ultimately pays the price for them. she says she is not in favour of redistribution, but on the basis of some of the plans we have been hearing about, we have seen a

redistribution towards the few at the top and away from the many who in the end will have to pay for her plans through extra borrowing over many years to come. lats plans through extra borrowing over many years to come.— plans through extra borrowing over many years to come. lots to unpick there. many years to come. lots to unpick there- she — many years to come. lots to unpick there. she would _ many years to come. lots to unpick there. she would say _ many years to come. lots to unpick there. she would say it's _ many years to come. lots to unpick there. she would say it's not - many years to come. lots to unpick there. she would say it's notjust i there. she would say it's notjust about bankers' bonuses. we expect announcements around corporation tax. again, she was very firm on that and said this was about getting investment into this country. i want this country to be prosperous. i want people from all over the world to invest in this country and therefore corporation tax has to be competitive. is there any merit in that for you? we competitive. is there any merit in that for you?— competitive. is there any merit in that for you? we do have relatively low and very _ that for you? we do have relatively low and very competitive _ that for you? we do have relatively i low and very competitive corporation taxes in this country at the moment but i think this is about priorities and, you know, who benefits and who ultimately pays for things. what most businesses that i speak to every day are crying out for at the moment is some immediate help with

their spiralling energy costs they are facing. they aren't doing very well out of the initial package announced by the governmentjust a couple of weeks ago. that's what their immediate concerns are. many small businesses are going to be going out of business over the coming weeks if they don't get some help and some action on energy costs. and a corporation tax cut, well, it isn't a tax cut, it isn't a rise, isn't going to help those businesses in any case because that sort of tax will benefit large very profitable businesses, not those sort of tax will benefit large very profitable and 1esses, not those sort of tax will benefit large very profitable and thousands : those sort of tax will benefit large very profitable and thousands of me sort of tax will benefit large very profitable who housands of me sort of tax will benefit large very profitable who are ;ands of me sort of tax will benefit large very profitable who are struggling ;e sort of tax will benefit large very profitable who are struggling to iuiili “iii. _ it'isaz i�*fgfiii i~ic e�*ii sit| iirii—inc ti: _ _ iii: iii iii iii iii| i iii iii— certainty. heee e he�*weejl ee fee' heethee meehe the energy got energy got as energy got as well energy got as well 5 some crisis we've got as well as some can businesses. crisis we've got as well as some

labour�*s view that bringing in a price cap that is meaningful and keeping it at lower prices is the way forward with that, but the big question there is who is going to pay for that? we have long been calling for a windfall tax on the super excess profits we have seen the energy suppliers make over recent months and what they will continue to make in coming months. not because they made a sound investment in their business, not because they've taken long—term decisions about where to extract gas from, but because they have happened upon a windfall in huge increases in global gas prices. that's why we need a windfall tax to pay for that. that's much fairer than saddling a future taxpayers with bigger costs which is what the government is proposing. we have to address issues of energy security as well, and that means making sure we both produce

more renewable and sustainable energy in this country, such as onshore as well as offshore wind and nuclear, many of the things this government hasn't been investing in and hasn't done at a pace they needed to. we also need to reduce demand which is around retrofitting and insulating all of our homes around the country. a programme that again the government has abandoned and scaled back in recent years. we have some of the most poorly insulated homes in europe in this country. we are using a lot more energy than we should be doing. it needs a multipronged approach. this government, over12 needs a multipronged approach. this government, over 12 years, needs a multipronged approach. this government, over12 years, has failed on all counts. for government, over12 years, has failed on all counts.— government, over12 years, has failed on all counts. for now, thank ou ve failed on all counts. for now, thank you very much- _ failed on all counts. for now, thank you very much. perhaps _ failed on all counts. for now, thank you very much. perhaps more - failed on all counts. for now, thank| you very much. perhaps more there late in the week. the government will announce details

tomorrow. lets talk more about that. then fletcherjoins me, chief operating officer at make uk which represents manufacturing firms. good afternoon. you are the person we want to hear from. afternoon. you are the person we want to hearfrom. what afternoon. you are the person we want to hear from. what are your members saying to you about what help they need to be announced tomorrow? the help they need to be announced tomorrow?— help they need to be announced tomorrow? , . ., ., tomorrow? the message coming from our members — tomorrow? the message coming from our members is _ tomorrow? the message coming from our members is flashing _ tomorrow? the message coming from our members is flashing red _ tomorrow? the message coming from our members is flashing red at - tomorrow? the message coming from our members is flashing red at the - our members is flashing red at the moment in terms of the scale of the problem and the significance of the support they will need. in just a few weeks we have gone from less than 10% of our members saying energy prices threaten their business to now over 60% of our members saying the energy prices are threatening their business. they've had to deal with often increases of over 100%, about 40% of our members are saying their energy bills have doubled at least, and many are talking about a much higher amount than that in terms of the increase. what we are seeing particularly

worryingly is now turning into tangible negative issues. about 12, 13% of our members are saying they are having to reduce production because of the cost of energy, and a similar number have already started to make somejob reductions similar number have already started to make some job reductions and redundancies as a result of that pressure. it is tangible and meaningful. we think the scale of this is comparable to the level of support that consumers will need. the size of the industrial energy market is similar to the size of the consumer market in the uk. therefore we think the scale of government intervention needs to be of that order. we have started to hear announcements that suggest this will be a six—month programme for industrial users. i think our first message to government which we have been making very clear over the last couple of weeks is that six months is too short. the issue here is the energy crisis is likely to last for a very long time. the other very permanent issue in manufacturing is we are often now taking orders for

products that will be delivered in quarter two and three of next year. if you aren't clear what your energy bill will be it is difficult to price that competitively to be confident about your ability to deliver that order. we need something of a serious magnitude from government and probably our big ask at the moment is to think beyond six months because six months isn't going to cure the problem at the moment. 50 going to cure the problem at the moment. , ., going to cure the problem at the moment, , ., ., going to cure the problem at the moment. , i, i, i, i, moment. so you are hearing from companies _ moment. so you are hearing from companies that _ moment. so you are hearing from companies that have _ moment. so you are hearing from companies that have already - moment. so you are hearing from| companies that have already made redundancies because of this or they are producing less and working shorter hours. i hope i've got the language right there. a lot going on there. the six—month issue, that is key because that is something we will look out for tomorrow when the announcements come through. your point is that a business will plan way into the future, work out its cost way into the future, so we are actually... six months does not give them enough breathing space, if that's the right phrase? absolutely.

as for very big _ that's the right phrase? absolutely. as for very big orders, _ that's the right phrase? absolutely. as for very big orders, we _ that's the right phrase? absolutely. as for very big orders, we are - as for very big orders, we are talking about issues where companies are placing orders for deliveries next year. that firm has to be able to price that with a long—term vision in price, with a long—term plan in mind. for the past few years you would have done that fairly confidently because you could factor in the prices of energy costs and materials you would need to buy. at the moment with the incredible movement and an predictability of the energy market, being able to price goods on a long—term basis, and being able to quote an accurate price for nine months, 12 months ahead is really hard. this is particularly important because we are often in a global competitive market, particularly with manufacturing, we are competing with countries in europe, very close to home, and what we are finding is that because our government has moved to this position relatively slowly, slower than some of our european competitors, we are now in a competitive exercise against countries who have that confidence about energy prices, notjust for

six months but nine, 12, and beyond, and that actually the level of support that has been put in place by some of our european counterparts is significant and has reduced that price very substantially. what we have now is an unlevel playing field in terms of competition. if you are a business that wants to price accurately, it's difficult to do so because you don't know how long you have the support and what the support will be, and also you are competing with countries that will have brought in a significant support package which means their price can be clearer and lower. goad price can be clearer and lower. good to hear from — price can be clearer and lower. good to hear from you. _ price can be clearer and lower. good to hear from you. thanks _ price can be clearer and lower. good to hear from you. thanks for - price can be clearer and lower. good to hear from you. thanks for laying that out very clearly. something we need to talk about tomorrow after all of those announcements. thanks very much. the prime minister is at the united nations on herfirst international visit as prime minister. she is likely to promise to continue the uk's support for

ukraine. let's go to new york. it is the un general assembly, that's why so many world leaders are there and more besides, let'sjoin our correspondence. let's start with ukraine, laura. what more are we likely to hear on that?— ukraine, laura. what more are we likely to hear on that? pretty much every world — likely to hear on that? pretty much every world leader _ likely to hear on that? pretty much every world leader that _ likely to hear on that? pretty much every world leader that has - likely to hear on that? pretty much every world leader that has spoken today has spoken about the need for a negotiated end to this war in ukraine because of the ripple effect that it ukraine because of the ripple effect thatitis ukraine because of the ripple effect that it is having on the world economy. countries have talked about how they are suffering because food prices are going up and energy prices are going up and energy prices are going up and energy prices are going up as well. ukraine is really dominating proceedings here at the united nations general assembly. this is prime minister liz truss's first outing on the global stage as leader of britain. she held a private meeting with president macron. we don't have a readout from that but she has said in the past that but she has said in the past that she did not know if he was friend orfoe. she will also —— she

also reported that there wouldn't be also reported that there wouldn't be a trade deal with the us in the short or medium term. she will meet joe biden tomorrow. it'll be an important meeting. they will talk about ukraine and they are on common ground in the need to support ukraine in its fight against russia. clearly a lot more to come on that. before you go, we've heard comments that the uk won't be seeking negotiations about a free trade deal with the us. what reaction is there where you are? that with the us. what reaction is there where you are?— where you are? that is significant. that was what _ where you are? that is significant. that was what liz _ where you are? that is significant. that was what liz truss _ where you are? that is significant. that was what liz truss said - where you are? that is significant. that was what liz truss said when | that was what liz truss said when she was on the plane from london to new york, when she was talking to reporters. it is significant because conservative ministers have promised that a trade deal with the us would be a centrepiece of the post—brexit diplomatic landscape, that an agreement with such a big trading partner would be of economic benefit

to britain. remember that the biden administration takes a very dim view of the fact boris johnson administration takes a very dim view of the fact borisjohnson and now liz truss want to try to renegotiate the northern ireland protocol, the trading agreement that has governed northern ireland's trading post—brexit. biden is a proud irish—american. he sees the northern ireland agreement is a good thing and he does not want to see it being undermined by this. that is a tense topic in uk us relations. by ruling out a trade deal before she even got to new york, liz truss is recognising the reality of the fact the biden administration was not going to give one because in part of the concerns it has about the northern ireland protocol. thanks very much- _ the inquest has opened into the death of a teenage girl who took her own life five years

ago, after being exposed to harmful content online. 14 year old molly russell viewed large numbers of social media posts about depression, suicide, and self—harm. angus crawford is at the hearing in north london. a family wanting answers — why did molly die, and what part did social media play? ahead of them, two weeks in court, hundreds of pages of evidence, containing many thousands of images, some too distressing to broadcast. a bright, apparently happy teenager, molly was just 14 when she took her own life. going through her social—media accounts, her father ian discovered she was being bombarded with content about suicide, depression and self—harm — on instagram, pinterest and other apps. the corporate culture at these platforms needs to change... since then, he's become a high—profile campaigner for internet safety,

and for many has made a huge impact on the debate. i remember my disbelief when i saw my lifeless youngest daughter. that moment, my old life stopped. ian has been absolutely magnificent, because, you know, from the very beginning, he's actually sort of put his loss, his pain and his agony into trying to make sure that this doesn't happen to other families. and anyway, it's a david and goliath story, isn't it? it contains material that i'm sure is going to be very upsetting. - it's taken years for the family's legal team to get the tech companies to tell them what was on molly's accounts — files and files of evidence. there was just no let—up for molly, this is relentless. now, finally, the court

gets to see it too. if you are affected by any of the issues raised in that story there is support online on our website. much more information there and the phone number... russian—backed authorities in four occupied or partly occupied regions of ukraine, have brought forward plans to hold referendums on joining russia. luhansk, donetsk and kherson and zapor—ijia — say that voting will start on friday. it appears to be part of a push by moscow to accelerate the annexation of parts of ukraine in the face of a counter—offensive. this map shows those areas,

which are all in eastern and southern ukraine, that will hold referendums. they are all in parts of the country where russian forces are in control. ukrainian forces appear to be continuing to re—take territory in the east of the country — these pictures were filmed in bilo—hirivka, a town previously held by russian forces, in the luhansk region. i'm joined now from kyiv by our correspondent in ukraine, james waterhouse. 0bviously obviously a worrying development, the idea of holding these referendums. explain a little more about those, james. iii referendums. explain a little more about those, james.— referendums. explain a little more about those, james. in years gone by i think about those, james. in years gone by i think they — about those, james. in years gone by i think they have _ about those, james. in years gone by i think they have been _ about those, james. in years gone by i think they have been concerning. i i think they have been concerning. the last time russia did this was in crimea when it annexed crimea, staged a referendum, and the 96% vote in favour ofjoining russia was widely unrecognised by the rest of

the world. there are big questions over the process and result. then we go back to february this year when vladimir putin declared he would recognise the donbas region as being independent. we all know now what actions follow that declaration. but there are differences this time around. the goals are less clear. russia is suffering losses, it's getting frustrated right across the vast front line across the south and east of ukraine. what are these officials? basically, what is vladimir putin, the kremlin, trying to achieve? is this propaganda messaging to say to the russian population, yes, we are getting frustrated, it's not going to plan in some places, but look at what we are fighting for, people who are part of russia. 0r are fighting for, people who are part of russia. or is this some kind

of escalation? the president is expected to give a speech in the next 45 minutes. could it be an expansion of armed forces, motivation, or the use of more deadly weapons? it is unclear. as far as deadly weapons? it is unclear. as faras ukraine are deadly weapons? it is unclear. as far as ukraine are concerned they say this is moscow panicking and any result would be meaningless. it's the unknowns, the uncertainty is that the recent successes on the battlefield are the catalyst behind these announcements.— battlefield are the catalyst behind these announcements. thank you so much. these announcements. thank you so much- more — these announcements. thank you so much. more from _ these announcements. thank you so much. more from you _ these announcements. thank you so much. more from you in _ these announcements. thank you so much. more from you in the - these announcements. thank you so much. more from you in the next - much. more from you in the next hour. james waterhouse in the ukrainian capital there. the royal family is observing another week of mourning for queen elizabeth, who was buried yesterday in a private service at windsor castle. for seven days members of the royal family won't be carrying out official engagements. the government revealed this morning that about a quarter of a million people saw the queen lying in state at westminster hall. 0ur correspondent charlotte gallagher is in windsor.

less than 24 hours ago, all eyes were on windsor — history was made and witnessed by billions. and today, flowers, tributes, even photos are still being left here, beside the ancient castle walls. we did get on a plane and come over, ijust wanted to be here, i wanted to be near. very sad. yeah, very emotional. i feel like i have lost my grandmother, if i'm allowed to say that. lost for words. the last ten days, it feels like it is someone that is very close to me. yesterday on the news _ we were watching the actual funeral itself, it was pure brilliance, | you know, spielberg couldn't do better than that. but life is slowly getting back

to normal for most of us. across the country, union flags are being raised again, as here in leeds, and the world's media are packing up in windsor. for the royal family, who have been in the global spotlight, they can now grieve privately together. their mourning period continues until next monday, before looking to the future and the reign of king charles iii. he is going to find it very difficult, he needs to be good at delegation, but to replace a lady like that, it is going to be tremendously difficult. we are now learning how many people went to see queen elizabeth lying in state. the government says around 250,000 queued for hours for that moment with their queen. king charles knows how much his mother was loved, and her legacy here in the uk and around the world. now he begins to build his own.

we have some viewing figures through. the number of people in this country watching the queen's funeral. if we look at the peak moment, which was immediately after the actualfuneral moment, which was immediately after the actual funeral service, the point at which the queen's coffin was brought past the houses of parliament on a gun carriage, more than 25 million people watched that moment. more than 25 million people in the uk watching that moment at the end of the queen's funeral service. just explain how that figure is reached, that is people who were watching it live on bbc

one, bbc two and itv. that's a 0ne, bbc two and itv. that's a combined figure but you will notice some channels are included in that, some channels are included in that, so the actualfigure some channels are included in that, so the actual figure will be a bit higher. crucially that does not necessarily take into account people who were streaming it. so, anybody watching on iplayer, itv player, perhaps you were watching on a phone or a tablet out and about or in different parts of the house, that doesn't take into account who streaming it. that is purely terrestrial viewing at that point. so more than 25 million people watching as the queen's coffin was taken through the streets of london on the gun carriage after the funeral service yesterday. let's take a look at the weather prospects. the weather has been very kind to us in the past few days it's been a fine day today with a bit of an autumn feel and it will be for some

of you tonight. a few shows to come tonight across the north and west of scotland in the western aisles. most will have a dried night and see the go cloud pushing southwards across eastern england and towards east anglia in the areas was the mist and fog form tonight but elsewhere, partially cloudy into tomorrow morning a bit fresh for single figures, temperatures 14 degrees, freshening south westerly wind which will bring in milder airfor the next few days. to the strength in that went across the northwest of scotland and outbreaks of rain here starting to push it to the mainland affecting the area time and the arts by deferring to the west of northern ireland but a dry day and isolated showers across the southern uplands and after some sunny spells a bit more cloud for the afternoon and around southern areas and temperatures lifting up a bit relative today, feeling milderfor most but cool and strong gale force winds in the western aisles.

of the foremost true—crime podcasts, mr syed might have been destined to spend the rest of his life behind bars. the most popular podcast in the world at the time, serial not only focused worldwide attention on the case but raised serious questions about the validity of his conviction — doubts prosecutors in mr syed's home town of baltimore came to share when they set about re—examining the evidence. at their behest, a judge has now overturned his conviction, and released him pending the completion of the new inquiry. there were gasps and applause in the courtroom as the judge gave the order for mr syed's shackles to be removed. through our review, our re—investigation revealed that the original prosecutors and the subsequent prosecutors in the attorney general�*s office failed to disclose relevant information about alternative suspects — one of whom threatened to kill the victim and had motive to kill the victim, and both of whom had a pattern

of violence against women. prosecutors are waiting on the outcome of new dna tests using technology that was unavailable at the time of the trial. but if he didn't kill hae min lee, then who did? this re—examination of the evidence more than two decades after her death has left the victim's family feeling betrayed. my clients, all they wanted was information. they want the truth to come out. if the truth is that someone else killed their sister, daughter, they want to know that more than anybody. they were shut out of the legal process by the court and the state's attorney's office, and it was inexcusable. mobbed as he walked free for the first time in 23 years, adnan syed has been released on home detention. baltimore prosecutors now have 30 days in which to charge him, again, with hae min lee's murder or set him free. david willis, bbc news, washington.

there have been further protests in iran over the death on friday of mahsa amini, a woman who'd been detained by the morality police for allegedly violating the islamic republic's official dress code. earlier i spoke to rana rahimpour of bbc persian who explained what led to the protests. she was arrested because according to the authorities, her headscarf wasn't tight enough, it wasn't strict enough. obviously, she was wearing head covering and her robe as is required by the law. but according to people who arrested her, it wasn't strict enough. these are the biggest protests in iran since 2019 and probably the most serious in recent years. especially because we have now seen many of the major cities, including capital tehran and there is a sound of unity when cities arejoining tehran and there is a sound of unity

when cities are joining these protests, they are chanting in support of the other provinces and the other cities. and on top of that, we can see a line of women joining these protests as we can see in these videos, what signifies these protests are the women were taking off their headscarves, which is a compulsoryjob in there waving them in the air in the footage of women setting their headscarves on fire and defying the riot police. you have footage of a woman standing in front of the water cannon without her headscarf and standing there until the water cannon retreats. and for many women, this is a sign that enough is enough. many women see if we do not do something about this now, we might be killed like mahsa tomorrow. now, could italy — a founding member of the eu and its third—largest economy — be about to swing to the far right? that's what the polls suggest ahead
