there have been trees ripped from their roots, and you can see now, this scar on the landscape where buildings once stood, people once lived. in south africa, the state funeral is held for chief mangosuthu buthelezi who died last week aged 95. and the government here admits it'll "take a while" to ban american xl bully dogs in england and wales. hello, you're watching bbc news. iranian security forces have been mobilised around the family home of the kurdish iranian woman, mahsa amini, on the first anniversary of her death in custody, which inspired months of mass anti—government protests. her father was briefly detained as he was leaving the house and warned against holding

a ceremony at her grave. the iranian authorities have tightened security across the country to try to prevent a new wave of street demonstrations. overnight, anti—government chants were heard in a number of towns and cities, while slogans have been sprayed in public spaces. baran abbasi from bbc persian has been looking at what's changed for women in iran in the past 12 months. confronted by supporters of the regime for refusing to wear a headscarf in public. this iranian woman remains defiant, despite her picture being taken and being threatened with legal action. scenes from the streets of karaj, a city near iran's capital. it's the rebellious act, unthinkable before last year's uprising. the unrest was sparked by the death of mahsa amini in custody. the 22—year—old was arrested by the morality police accused of not adhering to the strict

dress code rules. her death sparked nationwide protests, which continues for months, with women taking a leading role. one year on, the mass street protests may have died down, but the determination of many iranians to push for regime change is unwavering. mariam took part in the demonstrations since the first day. she says last year's events have already brought about fundamental changes to society. i think it's like something that has been broken and it can't be the same. people are angry. people are tired. there is no hope forfuture and every family has someone in prison or someone has been killed. so it can't be life like before. many women no longer adhere to the strict dress code. even some who grew up in religious families.

the authorities used a hijab as a pretext to shed the blood of many innocent people. it made me very upset. at that point i made a decision to remove my hijab. but the regime is sitting back. a new draft law unveiled by parliament brings them much harsher punishments for women and girls who fail to wear the hijab. the morality police that had largely retreated immediately after the death of mahsa amini are now back on the streets, arresting women they decide are violating the hijab rules. also, women often face abuse and anger from more conservative iranians. this cctv footage that went viral on social media shows a man throwing a tub of yoghurt over the heads of two female customers who were not wearing the headscarf.

but those who continue to publicly disobey the law, hope for a free society for everyone in the future. if this regime completely overthrown from its roots, it can happen that women live together in peace. no matter what they believe to, i hope someday can be that day in our country. baran abbasi, bbc news. let's speak to bbc persian�*s siavash ardalan. what is the latest of mahsa amini's father. he what is the latest of mahsa amini's father. . , ., , ., father. he was released, the whole arrest was an _ father. he was released, the whole arrest was an attempt _ father. he was released, the whole arrest was an attempt to _ father. he was released, the whole i arrest was an attempt to presumably stop the ceremonial taking place. they've been trying to stop people from going to the burial site,

either by blocking the roads, making it more inaccessible and also a round of arrests last night in the province of kurdistan. a very formidable security presence, the entire region. they are preventing any type of street protest from taking place. the can memorial is due to take place now, so we have to wait for videos and images to come out to see exactly what went on. not to mention the fact that internet access is also been very limited. yes, it's tricky to get an accurate picture of what is happening there. as we heard in the report, the level of protest, although died down from last year, it still continues. what is the broader picture of dissent in iran at the moment? the is the broader picture of dissent in iran at the moment?—

iran at the moment? the broad icture iran at the moment? the broad picture is _ iran at the moment? the broad picture is fundamentally - iran at the moment? the broadi picture is fundamentally people iran at the moment? the broad - picture is fundamentally people are very resentful of the government. the majority of iranians, they don't trust the government. there is a huge legitimately to crisis, since its inception in 1917. —— 1979. they have been very ruthless in putting down the protests. the state have incarcerated tens of thousands of people, just an ongoing wave of arrests of activists, journalists, members of civil society. journalists are breaking the news are still in jail. people are scared to take to the streets, it's in an and battle. you have the regional

taunts of saudi arabia and iran, where saudi arabia started funding the opposition groups. a lot of feeling of abandonment from iranian protesters by the west, feeling the west has not done enough to support their cause. also in terms of the protests today, just fortunate the regime happened to coincide with religious bank holidays which is four days long. this is usually an opportunity for people to visit their relatives and other cities. all that has helped quell down the protests, but not the resentments. thank you for that. the authorities in eastern libya are sealing off the stricken city of derna to enable rescue teams to get in more easily following the devastating flash floods. they said the area would be closed off to civilians and that

only libyan and international search and rescue teams would have access. these are live pictures from derna. there's been calls for the complete evacuation of survivors from derna. although rescue efforts have been scaled up, the aid operation so far has been described as chaotic. our correspondent anna foster sent this report. this is what remains of the waterfront area, here in derna. you can see what a mess it is. you can also really see the power of that water that cascaded through the city. it is broken up sea defences and tossed them around. there are cars smashed and dropped on top. there's a whole mixture of floating broken wood, household appliances, tires, it's all bobbing in the stagnant water. there is a really rich and distinctive smell of decay and death hanging in the air, particularly in this area. just this morning,

i was talking to a turkish rescue team, because all the time, there are recovery workers patrolling up and down the water area here. when bodies wash back in, which they are still doing all the time, they retrieve them and try and give them some kind of dignity. the turkish team told me just over here this morning, they recovered three bodies from in among the stably and dirt and took them away. they say, even now almost a week after this happened, bodies are still washing up here at the port in derna. the north korean leader kimjong un has met the russian defence minister sergei shoigu, during his visit to russia. they visited an aerodrome near vladivostok in the far east of russia, inspecting bombers and fighterjets. russia's defence ministry says mr kim was shown moscow's hypersonic �*kinzhal�* missiles, as well as three bomber aircraft, which are part of russia's nuclear air attack force. and these pictures, also from the russian defence ministry,

show them viewing part of russia's pacific fleet at a nearby port. the trip to the coastal city close to the chinese and russian border, is also expected to include the russian academy of sciences. colleges in russia's far east have historically accepted north korean students. kim made the two day journey from pyongyang to vladivostok using a heavily armoured train. arriving on wednesday, he met with vladimir putin and has been touring the area since. climate campaigners are marching through edinburgh today as part of a global day of action against fossilfuels. yesterday saw similar marches take place across europe. in the hague, police used water cannons to try to disperse demonstrators who had blocked a road. the march in scotland will have a special emphasis after the uk government announced plans to create 100 new oil and gas sites in the north sea. earlier i spoke to luke henderson who is one of the campaigners with edinburgh climate coalition

and who helped organise the march, he told me why he thinks events like today do make a difference. if we don't fight, we can't win, its a starting point. i spoke to it's a starting point. i spoke to parliamentary researchers, mps all the time. they said they want to do some good things, but unless there is a power protest, and less pack ordinary people show we want to change, actually wets that momentum, that push. there's a lot of set interest in not wanting to change. they have showed no ability to change. it's up to ordinary people to say we want to change. we can see it in the news, every single news bulletin, another climate —related crisis happening around the world. it to us that the responsibility falls to. there are a thousand hits a match, you can't see them, i've moved away because it's noisy. all

meadows was protesting against the tripling of university fees in central london when he suffered a severe brain injury. he was 20 years old at the time, studying philosophy in the university of middlesex. he was struck on the head with a police bat on. it was so severe, the entry required more than a hundred staples to seal the head wound. you can see on the website what are the headwind looked like, i will one you at a slightly graphic. as you can see here, the injury he did receive. despite a number of investigations between 2010 and 2019, the officer responsible was never identified or held to account, alfie was in need of life—saving brain surgery after this. the trauma of the assault has severely affected his mental health sense, it has affected his study and his career, as well. he has also been subjected to a lengthy legal

process. he was arrested and charged and has attended several trials since march of last year. he has been acquitted of doing... how has alfie responded to how the met acted towards him? alfie has been fighting himself, and for a legal battle. he brought the charge against the police trying to get damages for assault and battery false imprisonment and breaches of his human rights. 0nly false imprisonment and breaches of his human rights. only the summer has that case been settled. as you mentioned, it's believed he has received a 6—figure sum, but more importantly, he has received an apology from the metropolitan police himself. they acknowledged that he was protesting peacefully, not acting aggressively against police officers, and that's the batten

strike that almost killed him was dangerous and unjustifiable. the met also say they regret not being able to identify the officer that was responsible for this assault. alfie has given an interview about all this, he is saying that despite the apology, despite the many, it's not going to make up for what has been a decade of fighting and the severe impact this has had on, not only his mental health, but the pain caused to his friends and family who have supported him through this. in south africa, mourners have gathered in ulundi for the funeral of the veteran politician — mangosuthu buthelezi. the zulu chief has been granted a state funeral in honour of his contribution to the fight against white—minority rule.(00v)ahead of his burial, hundreds lined the route to watch his cortege arriving at the family home.

the funeral is now underway, at a stadium in the ancient capital of the zulu kingdom. nomsa maseko is in ulundi. what more can you tell us about the legacy he has left? it’s what more can you tell us about the legacy he has left?— legacy he has left? it's quite a mixed legacy _ legacy he has left? it's quite a mixed legacy that's _ legacy he has left? it's quite a l mixed legacy that's mangosuthu buthelezi leaves behind. some call him an unapologetic murderer, with the involvement of politics. thousands of his supporters have gathered here today and expressed how much they loved him, and also how much they loved him, and also how much they loved him, and also how much he should the rural development was at the centre of his agenda right along with education.

we understand that cyril ramaphosa is making, delivering a eulogy as part of the funeral service. what is the president's attitude and view of mangosuthu buthelezi? it’s the president's attitude and view of mangosuthu buthelezi?— mangosuthu buthelezi? it's much about reconciliation _ mangosuthu buthelezi? it's much about reconciliation more - mangosuthu buthelezi? it's much about reconciliation more than i about reconciliation more than anything, because the people who have gathered here notjust to supports the party he founded in the previous century,... there is obviously, with the elections next year, there is a message that politicians are trying to portray in that unity is one of the things that they are trying to ensure, that

south africa moves towards. particularly because there is a possibility that south africa will likely be led by a coalition government because of a political failure over the years. we are expecting the eulogy, but we are also expecting a mix of mangosuthu buthelezi traditional beliefs. he was also much of a traditional man, ordinarily because he is from the royal family, ordinarily because he is from the royalfamily, he would have been buried in the dead of night where it suggests family members who will have gathered, but he did put in a request to his family that he wanted to be buried according to his

the department for environment, food and rural affairs, which oversees the dangerous dogs act, will, in the coming days bring together the police, veterinary experts and animal welfare groups to discuss. a ban is backed by one mother whose daughter was bitten by a suspected xl bully. it's so sad that that man has sadly lost his life to the xl bullies. it is... it's just it's really devastating that this is actually happening in our... on our streets. i've been trying to get the ban put in place since luna's attack. this attack last week was caught on camera in birmingham. the american xl bully has been responsible for more than a fifth of all reported non—fatal attacks since the start of the year. the government admits stopping people owning, breeding or selling them won't be a simple process as it isn't currently a recognised breed in the uk and will need to be defined. but the proposed ban has got the backing of the labour leader. they should be banned. there's been a clear case for banning them for a long time. so what i say to the government

is good, get on with it. and the sooner we can do this, the better. the dog control coalition, which includes the rspca and the royal kennel club, argues that ministers should focus on irresponsible owners rather than introducing outright bans — a view backed by one breeder. the problem that we have is the... the other end of the lead. it's not the dog end. it's the human end. how can you condemn an entire breed for the actions of a few? _ but the government insists decisive action is needed to protect the public. simon jones, bbc news. earlier we spoke to kay taiwo, who is a dog trainer that works with xl bullys and thinks that the problem may lie with the owners, rather than the breed. i think they are trying to feed into the media frenzy. if we're going to

continue blame the dog, the excel bully, another dog will rise to fame. and that includes, once again, these irresponsible breeders who are going to breed these badly bred dogs, and then the irresponsible owners who are going to be not not caring or not training their dog or not even understanding what type of dog they have and what type of training or effort is going to be needed for that breed. so if you accept they're all going to be owners like that, then they need to ban the dogs. i think there is always going to be owners like that regardless of the breed. anybody and everyone can tell you if you own a dog, you see irresponsible owners every day. i think thatjust because there's a high rise of people buying these fashionable dogs, that's why we have a lot of people who sell xl bulliies, who shouldn't.

they are strong dogs regardless. yes, but is everybody meant to have a labrador. no. you know, people do have labradors and they still cause problems. any breed can cause a problem. it's the owner that needs to understand what they're doing and be able to caution their dog appropriately. here are images from space, just two hours after setting off, two astronauts successfully docked after spending several years in the space station. hello. it's another day of mixed fortunes weatherwise today, whilst the heat and the humidity are building once again in the south east with some sunshine around, we've got some rain in the forecast further north and west where it'll be cooler and fresher, too. there's a weakening weather front that's going to produce some cloud and patchy rain for parts of southern scotland, northern england and for

a time northern ireland. but that should ease away. to the north of that, lots of sunshine reappearing across much of central scotland. fine conditions in the north, light winds. here's not a bad day and brightening up, i think later on across northern ireland. we'll keep that band of rain into the likes of northumberland for a time. to the south of that, plenty of sunny, dry weather for central and south east england. just the odd rogue shower. and for wales the showers gradually easing later in the afternoon, but temperatures only 1a or 15 across the north west of the uk. contrast that to the southeast where we'll see highs around 27 celsius. as we move through into the evening hours, then most of the rain eases away for a time, but overnight we'll see more heavy showers and potentially thunderstorms pushing into the south west of england, wales, perhaps along the south coast as well. quite mild, murky and muggy for most of us, but colder, fresher conditions. much of scotland could see a touch of grass frost. into sunday, then fine and dry for much of scotland and northern england for a time. but then we've got these heavy downpours just pushing their way into southern parts of england,

wales, northern ireland could see some of them later on as well. so some thunderstorms. you might well see some large hail and gusty winds with some of those downpours still quite humid, 22, possibly 23 degrees towards the southeast, but typically the mid to high teens further north. and those heavy showers and thunderstorms will push further north across northern england, eventually into southern scotland overnight sunday. into monday this frontal system works in from the west, so that's going to pep up the rainfall for a time. it's also going to clear away the warm, humid air gradually from eastern england through the day on monday. so a transition to a different weather type, an unsettled story, blustery winds, sunny spells and heavy showers on monday making their way from west to east. and that's going to open the doors to the atlantic influence. so temperatures are coming down typically in the mid to high teens for most of us. but we'll still hold on to the warmer, more humid conditions for a time towards the east. but then further ahead, mid—week onwards, it is looking pretty unsettled, often fairly wet and windy, but some sunshine in between.

..training at two of the most prestigious ballet schools in the uk. the ballet world is a brutal place but telling people that you're too fat, i don't think that's preparing you for anything. now speaking out about what, for years, has been left unsaid... it is a culture of silence, a culture of not breaking ranks. there is something cultish about it, i cannot avoid that word. ..a world where eating disorders are common... i hadn'tjoined the school looking like that. it had been a change that had happened quite quickly. ijust kind of stood there whilst my peers gave me a round of applause for losing weight. ..producing wonderful dancers but also leaving a legacy of emotional problems. the school were not equipped to deal with mental health problems at the extent mine was at. nobody should be spoken to in a way that makes them walk away feeling worthless.
