basically be supporters of this regime to some extent and the generation that basically was responsible for the 1979 revolution, because the regime is unable to provide them with economic prosperity, improve the conditions of the economy, improve their livelihood, they are also unhappy. notjust because of the lack of political freedom of course there is half of the iranian population is women who have been leading this protest and at the forefront of every rally that we have seen in any part of the country. pretty much every section of the iranian society that we look at the iranian regime is struggling to communicate with them. and they are surely relaxed slowly but surely getting past. fascinating to watch. thank you very much for being with us. and giving your thoughts on those continuing protests in iran. the headlines on bbc news... the northern ireland secretary has said he will call an assembly but

hasn't set a date it comes back after a storm and missed the deadline for restoring power sharing at the default assembly. a woman who murdered and decapitated herfriend before dumping her body in a suitcase has been sentenced to life in jail. jemma suitcase has been sentenced to life injail. jemma mitchell suitcase has been sentenced to life in jail. jemma mitchell is the first murderer to be sentenced on television in england and wales. andy the husband of the us house speaker nancy pelosi has been taken to hospital after being assaulted during a breaking of the couples in california. now it's time for the travel show. this week on the show... pulling down the past. i believe that the monuments would not be giving a tribute to the regime but they should preserve history. it's a question of symbols and for our people it's a symbol of occupation, a symbol of servitude and we want to

turn a new page. for 300 years on and off estonia was part of russia. ruled first by the czarist empire and the soviet union. links between the two are many and deep. in fact, around a third of the people here have russian as their first language. but since the invasion of ukraine in february the government has steered a course very firmly

away from its powerful neighbor. there have been travel ban for russian tourists and something even more dramatic. historic russian and soviet monuments are being removed from public view. and notjust here, the other baltic states, latvia and lithuania are making similar symbolic gestures. this was among the first, i replica tank commemorating soviet soldiers killed during world war ii. it's been moved to astoni is at war museum which sits right on the russian border. the government says it's to avert what he calls increasing social tension. 0h

attention to the tree, estonians reckoned their capital was home to europe's first christmas tree in 1441. that claim is disputed by latvia but they still make a big deal of it nonetheless. a couple of highlights from the old town, super touristy but fun mediaeval themed restaurant touristy but fun mediaeval themed restau ra nt just touristy but fun mediaeval themed restaurant just around the touristy but fun mediaeval themed restaurantjust around the corner from the gothic town hall. it claims its food is still made to 17th—century recipes. also nearby is the nizam and saint nicholas church. the big showpiece there is but not as down to the cup which invites you to think about the futility of life. and culture is everywhere in estonia. there is a good chance there will be one where ever your assailant —— sauna cultures but look out for a smoke sauna where you a

smell of burned logs. good evening. sunshine at the moment we're watching a number of shop showers across parts of northern island interesting and northern islands with them bells which initially overnight tonight but watch for the south, cloud and rain which again towards the midlands with a little mist and work with that. temperatures on the mild side once again, nine to 12 celsius with the tomorrow we start the day with that band of cloudy and rain across the midlands drifting north to the north of england and northern ireland. behind the north of england and northern ireland. behind a drying up, brightening up to parts of central and south east england, feeling warm in the sunshine here, 22 degrees as possible. further north across scotland after the fine start expect the cloud arrange to arrive through the cell through the course of the afternoon. looking ahead to sunday and we got a weather front across parts of the southeast bringing cloud and outbreaks of rain. those could linger through the afternoon. elsewhere some sunshine

but also a rash of showers, those could well be having with the odd rumble of thunder and brisk winds at times too. that is the forecast.

today at six. asnap a snap election is called in northern ireland after months of political deadlock at stormont but no date is given. devolved government at stormont hasn't functioned since an election in may. today, the northern ireland secretary said he would call a new poll. we are where we are. i have limited options ahead of me, i'm under a legal duty to call an election within 12 weeks. doctors are among those saying that the lack of a functioning government in stormont is hampering their ability to plan. what is happening now is that we are firefighting. we can't plan, we can't look ahead, we can't do anything different than firefight, and it is just getting worse and worse. we'll bring you all the latest. also on the programme... you have shown absolutely no remorse and it appears that
