the opposite, in fact. this is zahedan, the scene of violent confrontation again. independent observers claiming the cracked on by security forces the crackdowon by security forces across iran and killed at least 160 people and the tactics continue to be unbearably indiscriminate. i saw footage of a teenager, a child, shot in the head and apparently has been killed and we haven't gotten exact figures for how many people have died many people have died and how many people have been injured today but the footage that we saw, we can say that certainly, they opened fire again with live ammunition. what started as a protest over the death of a young woman in custody because of how she wore her hijab has now turned into an increasingly deadly confrontation. between iran's people

and its religious leaders. any tactic that they had been using in any rounds of previous protests 2009—2017 to crack down and get people to go back home, those tactics are not working this time around. there is a wave of anger in these protests that are unlike anything i've personally have ever seen and i have been reporting for years and years — this is unique. iran's military has claimed the us was conspiring with others to spark the riots. meanwhile, the united nations has raised a list of issues with iran that it's deeply worried about. our particular concern is info that authorities have been moving injured protesters from hospitals to detention facilities. refused to release the bodies of those killed to their families. and delivered the deceased and the condition that the families do not hold a funeral or that their families do not speak to the media.

in one video, verified by news agency afp, people are seen shouting death to the dictator, aimed at the supreme leader. as the protest continue, international human rights campaign say there is a serious risk of mass killings. with me is parham ghobadi from bbc persian. how serious is this morning from the revolutionary guard? it’s how serious is this morning from the revolutionary guard?— revolutionary guard? it's serious, the first time _ revolutionary guard? it's serious, the first time they _ revolutionary guard? it's serious, the first time they have _ revolutionary guard? it's serious, the first time they have issued - the first time they have issued such a strongly worded warning to protesters, but on the other hand, we don't see any sign that the protesters are being scared or backing off, it doesn't show anything like that. we see throughout the country, from schools, school children to university students and people on the streets, they are fighting back and protesting day after day. just

before coming here, i saw iranian security forces shooting at mourners who were taking part at a funeral of a 19—year—old, i managed to confirm his death two nights ago, he was a really bright, handsome young 19—year—old chest. hejust really bright, handsome young 19—year—old chest. he just left really bright, handsome young 19—year—old chest. hejust left his work, the restaurant he was working in, and he was beaten in the head, according to the sources i saw, with severe blows to the head with batons. —— 19—year—old chef. just two nights before his birthday, and that has angered many iranians, this young man, literally a day before his birthday, his parents receive a call after not knowing where he is, they received a call to come and pick up his dead body. you they received a call to come and pick up his dead body.— pick up his dead body. you have spoken to _ pick up his dead body. you have spoken to people _ pick up his dead body. you have spoken to people in _ pick up his dead body. you have spoken to people in the - pick up his dead body. you have spoken to people in the past - pick up his dead body. you have | spoken to people in the past few hours in iran, what are people saying to you about the fears of going out on the streets, the protests, and whether they think this is making any difference? what this is making any difference? what ou sa at this is making any difference? what you say at this _ this is making any difference? what

were not seeing a lot of reaction, it was almost like people were wanting to say, well, what else is going to happen, how far is this going to happen, how far is this going to happen, how far is this going to go? but now people have realised, this is a revolution. it's not going to stop, it's not like it's ever been before. people have died, we need to stand up and be their voice. yesterday was the 40th day of death since mahsa amini, and in our culture this is a big deal. people come out, and from there on, lots more people have died. so the 40th day remembrance is going to continue. and not only we are out there shouting for the freedom of iran, we are out there to remember these girls and boys that have died in iran. ., ~' ,, , these girls and boys that have died in iran. ., ~ i. , . these girls and boys that have died in iran. ., ~ ,, , . ., in iran. thank you very much for “oininu in iran. thank you very much for joining us _ in iran. thank you very much for joining us ahead _ in iran. thank you very much for joining us ahead of _ in iran. thank you very much for joining us ahead of the - in iran. thank you very much for joining us ahead of the march i in iran. thank you very much for

diplomatic breakthrough. antonio guterres, un chief, was heavily involved in negotiating the details of the deal. he is now saying it is urgent for the deal to be extended. the deal expires in november. we have heard from russian officials, complaining that russian exports are still being hindered. we have heard from some russian authorities suggesting that perhaps russia could not renew this deal, so it's something that has been discussed here in ukraine. and again, this was a deal celebrated because it helped to ease a major global food crisis. so again, we've heard from antonio guterres, the un chief, saying it is urgent for this deal to be extended. thank you. tropical storm nalgee has killed 45 people in the philippines, and left many more homeless. it made landfall in the central part of the country and is now heading

towards the capital manila. most of the casualties were caused by floods and landslides, with some areas recording their highest ever daily rainfall. flash floods and landslides are one of the greatest dangers in the philippines, because of its deforested mountains. the head of britain's royal navy has ordered an investigation into allegations that female recruits have been sexually abused and harassed on submarines. admiral sir ben key, the first sea lord, said anyone found culpable would be held accountable, regardless of rank. he has directed a senior team to investigate the claims. the uk ministry of defence says it's improving reporting mechanisms for sexual offences. our news correspondent louisa pilbeam has been following the story. we know that the royal navy have acted swiftly. sir ben key is the most seniorfigure in the navy. he launched an urgent investigation into allegations of sexual

assault and harassment of female colleagues in the royal navy working on submarines. he said that anyone found responsible to this will be held to account regardless of their rank. these allegations are detailed in the daily mail newspaper. one woman said she was assaulted while she slept by a male colleague who was superior in rank to her. other women have said that they have experienced repeated demands for sex acts, and they also had their underwear stolen and a rape list was drawn up that detailed the order of which women would be attacked if there was an emergency at sea. now, the ministry of defence have responded by saying that they are taking these claims seriously and that they know there is more to be done. they say that while most

people in the royal navy have a rewarding career, there are predominantly women, they say, who are subject to inappropriate sexualised behaviour. emma norton is a lawyer and founder of the centre for militaryjustice, a charity which provides independent legal advice to women and men in the armed forces. she said these cases are common. it's incredibly shocking. it never ceases to be shocking. it's not unfamiliar to us unfortunately, we assisted very recently a case and the accounts that were being given by the women speaking to the daily mail are strikingly similar to the accounts given by our clients. i also think they reflect very markedly the findings in a sexual harassment survey that was published very quietly earlier this year by the royal navy. what we're finding is that independent review after independent review is recommending that the investigation of cases like this be taken away from the single services themselves. while it is very good to hear that response today,

it doesn't go far enough. ultimately it will still be the royal navy investigating the royal navy. so a lot of campaigners and servicewomen have been calling for, for many, many years, for those who have responsibility for investigating the most serious complaints like this to be taken away from the single services themselves and handed to independent body. the headlines on bbc news. a new wave of violence in iran, with security forces firing on anti—government protestors. the head of britain's royal navy orders an investigation into reports of inappropriate behaviour towards female submarine staff, calling the allegations "abhorrent". president biden condemns an attack on the husband of senior democrat nancy pelosi, saying there's too much vitriol in us politics. president biden has condemned a violent attack on the husband of the leading democrat nancy pelosi as despicable. paul pelosi was beaten

with a hammer at his home. a man was arrested on charges including attempted murder. the intruder reportedly shouted "where's nancy?" our north america editor, sarah smith, reports. police say the intruder used a hammer to smash glass doors and break into the polosi home, shouting "where's nancy?" this appears to be a targeted attack. he tried to tie up paul pelosi to wait for his wife to come home. she was in washington at the time. police arrived as the attack was happening. our officers observed mr pelosi and the suspect both holding a hammer. the suspect pulled the hammer away from mr pelosi and violently assaulted him with it. 82—year—old paul pelosi is in hospital undergoing brain surgery. the suspect will be charged with attempted homicide. nancy!

during the attack on the us capitol onjanuary 6 last year, rioters were specifically searching for nancy pelosi. she had been evacuated from the building by police. later she blamed donald trump for inciting the riot and putting politicians in danger. it shouldn't be that not only is the president of the united states inciting an insurrection, but keeps fanning the flames, endangering the security of members of congress. present biden say he is praying for mr pelosi's recovery. republican leaders have also condemned the attack. violent political attacks have increased alarmingly in america in the last few years. some senior politicians are now worried it will not be long before one of them is killed. sarah smith, bbc news, washington. president biden condemned the attack at a rally ahead of next month's mid—term elections. it's reported the same chant was used by this guy they have

in custody that was used on january 6 in the attack on the us capitol. i'm not making this up. this is reported, i can't guarantee it, but i can tell you what's been reported. the chant was, "where's nancy, where's nancy, where's nancy?" this is despicable. there is no place in america... there is too much violence, political violence, too much hatred. the coronation of the zulu king misuzulu kazwelithini is taking place in south africa. he's being officially recognised as monarch by president cyril ramaphosa. he is taking his vows.

speaks own language. this is a government backed ceremony... it follows the king's traditional coronation in august, when the new king hunted a lion as part of rituals to certify this position. any of the guests are wearing the traditional garb of leopard—skin, colourful dresses and beads, as you can see. traditional dress wasn't

allowed when the last coronation took place 51 years ago, under apartheid rules. the king will be acknowledged as monarch by the president cyril ramaphosa today. a fifth of south africans are zulu, the country's largest ethnic group, and the monarchy has a yearly tax—payer funded and the monarchy has a yearly tax—payerfunded budget and the monarchy has a yearly tax—payer funded budget of more than £3.6 tax—payer funded budget of more than 5.6 million. northern ireland is facing the prospect of another election, after parties failed to reach agreement on a return to power sharing. the secretary of state, chris heaton harris, has said he will call an election, but has delayed setting a date. our ireland corespondent emma vardy has this report.

the dup sees as weakening the northern irish place in the uk. tt the secretary of state wants to hold an election, he should tell us and we will prepare for that election. if not, let's focus on what really needs to be done, to find a solution that restores northern ireland's place within the uk and removes the protocol and the harm it is doing to our relationship with the rest of the uk. ,, ., , the uk. sinn fein, the largest nationalist _ the uk. sinn fein, the largest nationalist party, _ the uk. sinn fein, the largest nationalist party, themselves| the uk. sinn fein, the largest- nationalist party, themselves pulled out of power—sharing in 2017. so the crisis facing voters is one many feel they have seen too many times before. sinn fein has been critical of the dup's decision. we before. sinn fein has been critical of the dup's decision.— before. sinn fein has been critical of the dup's decision. we need to net the of the dup's decision. we need to get the executive _ of the dup's decision. we need to get the executive app _ of the dup's decision. we need to get the executive app and - of the dup's decision. we need to get the executive app and running of the dup's decision. we need to i get the executive app and running to serve the people to get them through these tough times. we are all wondering what is going to happen next, and the motivation.- wondering what is going to happen next, and the motivation. under the current legislation, _ next, and the motivation. under the current legislation, an _ next, and the motivation. under the current legislation, an election - current legislation, an election must happen within 12 weeks, but for

you are watching bbc news. we are going to leave the ceremony there for the moment. the world's richest man elon musk, who now owns the social media platform, twitter, says a new group of moderators will decide whether band accounts, such as that of the former us president donald trump, can be reinstated. after completing his $41; billion takeover, mr musk has moved quickly to make changes at the company, with a number of top executives leaving. here's our technology editor zoe kleinman. elon musk. to his many fans, one of the most innovative and influential

people in the world. he's certainly the richest. he made his money with paypal, and is now the boss of the electric car firm tesla. he also owns rocket maker spacex, and his starlink satellite network provides internet access around the world. and now he adds to his portfolio twitter — the small but mighty social network. "let that sink in", he said, walking into twitter hq carrying, yes, a sink. laughter. elon musk is a prolific tweeter, with more than 110 million followers. he's now calling himself "chief twit." "the bird is freed," he tweeted, followed later by "let the good times roll." he has just promised to form a moderation council to oversee decisions about banned accounts and controversial content. nothing will be decided before it meets, he said. it's not known when that will be. musk has strong views about free speech. if he starts to see that a certain type of free speech environment, eg, one where anything goes,

might become a "hellscape," as he said, and that might see people leave, at which case advertisers who're paying to be on the site might get concerned because there'd be fewer eyeballs looking at their ads. all this matters because twitter has become a place where world leaders, politicians and opinion formers go to share their views. it's kind of a direct line between the decision—makers and us, those they represent. elon musk thinks we need a digital town square, a community space for discussion — and twitter, he argues, is it. several top execs have already been sacked, and for those who remain, they need to know that they need to know musk means business. i expect they will want to get some degree of certainty that elon musk is not going to be running this like he runs his twitter account. his twitter account is full of memes and jokes. people want a degree of seriousness. they consider this a really important product to the world. there's lots of speculation about whether musk�*s takeover will mean the return of the most

high—profile person on twitter�*s banned list — former us president donald trump. one for the moderation council, but some investors are known to be keen. to really be a truly free platform — i know everybody hates donald trump, including me, but free speech is about many things we don't like, and many of the things trump might say might actually be really harmful to trump, so i think this sort of fear of letting people on the platform is exactly why we need to protect speech. 0h, great shot! speaking to fox news, donald trump of course had his own view. he wished elon musk lots of luck, but said twitter couldn't succeed without him. zoe kleinman, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello, afairamount hello, a fair amount of cloud and outbreaks of rain so far today, the rain moving north and east across the uk, and some of us will see a

return to sunshine this afternoon. the sun trine holds on longest across northern scotland, some rain in southern scotland and northern ireland, heavy showers in wales, but the midlands, east anglia and the south—east will feel warm. 22 degrees, very mild wherever you are. the rain slowly clears overnight tonight, heavy bursts in the first half of the night, more showers rattling in from the south—west overnight as the breeze picks up. it is mild again, 10—111. the clocks go back an hour during the early hours of sunday morning, so some die, sunshine and showers, heavy in the north and west with blustery winds, clearing away from the south—east to leave sunshine. —— so sunday. 13—17, goodbye for now. this hello, this is bbc news. the headlines...
