these rotests to stop these protests? these protests are — to stop these protests?e protests? these protests are a little _ to stop these protests? these protests are a little bit - protests are a little bit different than previous protests because, first of all, they were sparked by demand for women's writes that we see women's writes that we see women in these protests more than any other protests in the past. the 2009 protests, which were against the presidency of and the last two major protests in 2017 2019 women were present but not so front and centre. we see a lot of young people including high school is participating in these protests but these protests are across the country, very dispersed, decentralised, organised locally is, in big and small cities, the provinces, we have cities, the provinces, we have cities that never participated in protests in the past who are participating in these protests. there are intersectional sleazy different people with different ages, different socio—economic backgrounds, different ethnicities, different religions participa

yeah, and we know that in the past, crackdowns by the regime, had silenced protests and protesters. do you think that history could repeat itself or maybe the question is, how far do you think that this regime is willing to go to stop these protesters? how far can it go? well the, i mean it's a signature kind of measure which is brutal. suppression in major cities hasn't worked so far. but it has to be said that the, the excessive violence regime has kind of is bad for the periphery of iran, ethnic periphery places like baluchistan in the south east, or cornerstone in northwest. and we so just a week or so ago, a couple of weeks ago and as i had on in but it just on, off to 90. people were killed in a single day and just the other day yesterday, in fact ensure as we had an attack on the shrine in which 13 people were killed, the government attributed to islamic states. but there are lots of reports which suggest this might be a inside work by the regime to distract from the, from the protest, but also create a pretext for further suppression as well as externalizing the crisis by ac

you _ protests. so bring us the latest on the protest. you have _ protests.us the latest on the protest. you have received - the protest. you have received the footage of something happening at the funeral of one of the protesters.— the funeral of one of the protesters. the funeral of one of the rotesters. ., , ., , protesters. apart from the protest at the tehran _ protesters. apart from the protest at the tehran universities, - protesters. apart from the protest at the tehran universities, we - protesters. apart from the protestj at the tehran universities, we also see protests at the funeral of other young protesters. this young man, i managed to talk to some of his friends. two nights ago, after a few hours that he was killed, we managed to confirm that he was killed with severe blows to his head, you can see in his picture he is a very young and handsome man. his friends told me he was full of life. he was always talking about his future. he was a chef in a very good restaurant in his hometown. his friends say there was no way he committed suicide, and t

and in this relation, many protesters and commenters in iran consider these protests as a nationwidesing against the aging system that has long engaged in a systematic human rights violations and granted absolute impunity to those who kill, torture, and harm people and industry under the context of protests and behind prison walls. nermeen: let's look at this protest in historical context. you have written that of the three major revolutions over the course of the last century in iran, the 1906 constitutional revolution provides the best historical analogy to the present uprising. in recent piece you write "the persian constitutional revolution may not have transformed iran into a real democracy but it's at the precedent for the exercise of people power in iran, creating one of the most robust protest cultures in the world." >> the 1906 constitutional revolution was not just the first of iran's three major revolutions of the 20 century but the first democratic revolution in the middle east. while it had a simple goal, which was the creation of a constitution that would outline the ri

the last protests, like the fuel protests in 19 2020 they were more focused on the poorer classes. the 2009 protests against the likely fake election in 2009 was carried by the middle class is to a large degree. now we have everybody on the street. and the interesting thing is that this was possible because it focused on women because this experience of marginalization of women is something that every family in iran knows no matter where it's placed in the social stratum. and i think is something that every family in iran knows no matter this has supply also because basically everybody thought iran in the end, it's a macho middle eastern society and it's not that simple and also about the cities because 70% of the population do live in cities. so it's not even if you don't know exactly what's going on in the, on the country side and the province's most people do live in the cities. so and can i just ask you guilty because we heard the religious leader of iran, the ayatollah recently blaming the violence of the protests on iran's usual scapegoats the u. s. and israel and he was look

like her, during latest protests. _ of me. like her, during latest protests, many _ of me.tests, many influential - protests, many influential iranians figures have used social media to break through state media censorship. from footballers to actors, from scholars to singers. they have expressed their support. in this clip, this songwriter uses the wording from people's tweets to compose a son about why the islamic republic should no longer exist. iranian security forces arrested him immediately. but it was too late. his song had already gone viral. singers in iran and around the world covered his song. # for all mankind and our country... singing in persian. it was only the son: singing in persian. it was only the song that — singing in persian. it was only the song that crossed _ singing in persian. it was only the song that crossed borders. i the song that crossed borders. the slogan of the protest, women, life, freedom, also went around the world. in solidarity with the protesters, many international celebrities cut their hair. an act symbolic in a run of morning and a

young protesters. what come together to form one of the biggest youth movements in the country's history? just hours before the killings, thousands had got it to peacefully demonstrate it, gave rise in cases of police brutality. i know that the protests were largely peaceful because i was there reporting. but that evening, the protest songs in lagos would turn into cries for help. and the same place where people called for their rights to be upheld would be the same place. they were killed. it all started on a 3rd of october. policemen from the special anti robbery squad unit, better known as sars, allegedly killed a young man in southern delta state and took away his scar. as the video of the deadly assault leaked online, hundreds of young people took the social media event and share their own sause experiences. all of which were bad. saws was initially form in 1992 to tackle armed robbery in the country. but the units grew into an notorious force popular for a stuart in and abusing young nigerians by

gunning down the protesters.ven those who had just left the mosque and were not part of the protests, many of them were also killed. i number of those killed, as far as we know, over 95 have been killed. and these are the ones we know because we have their names and their identity papers. and many have been injured and are still in hospital and we are still waiting to see whether they will recover or whether they will die in hospital. nermeen: dr. ebadi, you mentioned earlier the protesters are calling for a change in the regime. how do you understand what that means? your response, for instance, to the present head of state recy whom amnesty international has said there is credible evidence of his involvement in crimes against humanity? if you could talk about his record and whether you think the repression his administration has carried out has something to do with the force of these protests? >> of course, there is no doubt raisi in the 1980's played a big part in the killing of political prisoners. there is n

the last protests like the fuel protests in 2920. they were more focused on the poorer classes, the 2009 protests against the likely fake election in 2009 was carried by the middle classes to a large degree. now we have everybody on the street, and the interesting thing is that this was possible because it focused on women because this experience of marginalization of women is something that every family in iran knows no matter where it's placed on the social straighten. and i think this has surprised us also because basically everybody thought, well, iran in the end, it's a motto, middle eastern society. and it's not that simple. and also the other cities area because 70 percent of the population do live in cities. so it's not even if we don't know exactly what's going on in the country side in the provinces, most people do live in the cities. so, and can i just ask you a guilty because we heard the religious leader of iran, the ayatollah pledge recently lay me on the violin. so the protests on reruns, usual scapegoats, the us and i

protests broke out the next day.norway-based group iran human rights says at least 154 people have been killed since the protests began nearly three weeks. -- nearly three weeks ago. in a new report, human rights watch has accused iran security forces of using shotguns, assault rifles, and handguns against peaceful protesters. the full extent of the protests or the security crackdown remains unknown as the iranian government has disrupted internet access in parts of the country and blocked some messaging apps. but some video of the protests continue to get out. this video obtained by reuters shows a group of female students heckling a member of an iranian paramilitary force known as the basiji. the female students are heard chanting, "basiji get lost." we begin today's show with two guests. narges bajoghli is an anthropologist and professor of middle east studies at johns hopkins university and the author of "iran reframed: anxieties of power in the islamic republic." her latest piece for vanity fair is headlined "wo

i know that the protests were largely peaceful because i was there, reported that evening the protest songs illegals were turned into christ for health and the same place where people called for their rights to be upheld would be the same place. they were killed. it all started on the 3rd of october, policemen from the special anti robbery squad. you need better known as far as allegedly killed a young man in southern delta state and took away his scar as a video of the deadly assault looked online. hundreds of young people took to social media to event and share their own south experiences. all of which were bad . saw initially form in 1992 to tackle armed robbery in the country. but the unit grew into in notorious for popular for a stuart in an abusing young nigerians. my super 8th, the online anger against science had gone so much that is built into the st. nationwide. illegal protesters mounted road blocks and shut down traffic. thousands got it, and the lucky toll gate emitter highway in the area of the city this would come to be the main demonstration point. their demands were s

ok, so protest are not new in iran, right? but by what makes this one difference from previous ones, especially in terms of what it will achieve 3 weeks have passed since the beginning of this process is this nation wide protest in iraq . but not only have to protest ended, but a date or a getting bigger, more and deeper. and as we were talking, there are many protests around iran in big cities in a city, up to iran and a small, even small town. and this time, i think the grape iranians, brave protest, there's men and women are risking their lives. and i think there are using their right of self defense in confrontation with the oppressive, oppressive forces. and even though they witnessed december 2017, even though they, they witnessed and bloody november of 2019, and all the crimes that the regime in this of for decades are dead. but actually they are still al, willing to sacrifice their own lives for a freedom. and that's, that's why i think that it's at beginning of the new era for that uranium fight for freedom. i think h

the main difference between these protests in the previous ones is that in the previous protests, theeople use to congregate in areas -- places around cities and towns and but now they have become wiser, the protesters. they make sure there protests are all over the country in various areas and sporadic. so it makes it very difficult for antiriot forces to be present in every corner of the country. and it is very regrettable that in order to crackdown on these protesters, the regime is even trying to persuade children by ving them money to and join the government forces and stand against the protesters. meanwhile, many protesters have been arrested, including schoolchildren and one of the schoolchildren was killed when the school was raided. and also the regime is exploiting orphans in of the country and turning them more or less into child soldiers for the regime. nermeen: dr. ebadi, could you elaborate? what do you mean the regime is turning children into child soldiers? >> look, the iranian government is signatory to the convention of the rights of the child. as you know, the conve

protest.the forefront of the protests. at times when we haven't heard quite as much from other parts of the country, does have continued. there have been strikes and most of those cities. they have been protests every day, and the security forces and at least two of those cities have responded with live gunfire. there have been reports of people being killed. we don't have an exact number of the protesters who been killed, when human rights group which provides names has said more than 200. i think the most conservative estimate is over 100. what we haven't seen perhaps is the full unleashing of the power, the repressive power of the security forces on the protesters that we saw backin forces on the protesters that we saw back in 2019 when there were protests field marred by the economic problems in the country. that may be partly because we have seen particularly in the past two or three weeks that those who really leading these protests are notjust students in universities, and we see that a

ok, so protest are not new in iran, right? but by what makes this one difference from previous ones, especially in terms of what it will achieve to 3 weeks have passed since the beginning of this process is this nation wide protest in iraq . but not only have to protest ended, but a date or a getting bigger, more and deeper. and as we were talking, there are many protests around iran in big cities in the city, up to iran, and a small, even small town. and this time, i think the great iranians, brave protest, there's men and women are risking their lives. and i think there are using their right of self defense in confrontation with the oppressive, oppressive forces. and even though they witnessed december 2017, even though they witnessed a bloody november of 2019, and all the crimes that the regime in this of for decades did a. but actually they are still willing to sacrifice their own lives for a freedom. and that's, that's why i think that it's at beginning of the new era for that uranium fight for freedom. i think human, i'm

posts and saws protests? i think understanding that we form as youth a critical mass that can really move the needle forward. is something that we need to take very seriously. i mean, we formed like 60 percent of bacteria, the best we could do is get our pvcs. the more were it puts in a better change. you will see. all right, well, that's a fantastic place to wrap up this debate. the sun is going down. it's so beautiful here. and ashley feel really good in my heart, which so rarely happens at the end of debates. but that's because the young people here i asked, i'll protest, threatening to governments perhaps. but what i've had to day resoundingly is that they use their naga tire. thank you for watching a we b u. we know go why ever tire? meaning we, the youth will never be tired. and just to show how relevant these events are still to day, we got quite a number of reactions on social media where we previously add these debates on instagram, them well road. i don't have dreads or tattoos, but i still got grab

- more so, the age of some of these protesters now? yes, we are entering — these protesters now? _ these protesters now? yes, we are entering week four - these protesters now? yes, we are entering week four of - these protesters now? yes, wei are entering week four of these protests and just earlier this week, schools across the country had open for the school year and we saw this unprecedented amount of iranian youth from university level to middle school taking to the street and also on their campuses, protesting, openly saying that they do not want an islamic republic, they are chanting death to the dictator, with two khameni. there has been viral videos of girls flipping the bird at a photo of the supreme leader or stomping on his photo in classrooms so what we are seeing is unprecedented in the country. they are extraordinary scenes but at the same time we understand, these are allegations to a certain extent but certainly more than 150 people appear to have lost their lives in the course of these demonstrations and the way they have been put down. i am presuming that those

which have turned into a major protest top in the last couple of weeks. and then even if you've achieved all of that, it has to make its way into international news coverage. and that's also not always happening because it's hard to verify these videos. and there are no correspondence on the ground, so i'm pretty sure we haven't seen the full scale of both the protests and the correct on on them. because with the dog is also very careful. in fact checking. and we can't just publish anything to reserve, the protests don't seem to have a central leader, but women are playing a major role. they're fed up with a society where they're right so severely restricted, let's have a closer look at how and where exactly before coming back to you to this is what outraged looks like in iran, people who feel they have nothing left to lose the daring imprisonment or worse, many disagree strongly with the government rules on dress for women and that someone had to die for breaking them in my opinion that they should remove the he job altogether. anyone who likes it can we

this protest, what we're seeing now, is unprecedented because of the scale of the protest. social media to protest, as many as 30 cities see people gathering, protesting, and in some cities clashing with security forces and dying. these protests have changed everything. things will never go back to how they were before this. if you say that things won't go back to how they were, what, by that, what, you mean the authorities have had to change their approach? is that right? the morality police may not be as strict. just last week we had the members of parliament suggesting that there needs to be an entire reform. when it comes to how the morality police operates, it doesn't necessarily mean that's what people are going to be content with. they want the islamic republic gone. always in the past, going right back to the early stages of the islamic republic, the authorities knew that if they could only generate enough force against the demonstrators, then they could just wipe the whole thing out and stop it in its tracks. is that the case now? well, we know that they have no qu

the protests began with demonstrations against the mandatory he job. but they grown into the greatest challenge to the islamic republic since the 20 o 9 green movement over disputed elections. shopkeepers, students, and factory workers are showing their support for the nationwide protests, security forces have responded with violence. barring live rounds and dispersing gatherings with tear gas rights. campaigners say more than 200 people have been killed. public anger about masa means death has gone global from tokyo to berlin. in the german capital, 80000 people joined a rally and solidarity marchers led by a women's group made their way through the city in the autumn sun. so i'm hoping that leaders up that free board to hear the voice up here maybe, and people they ask for their ambassadors to leave that to me. not. 7 bad man, not to negotiate with that. can we not a covered man and to have it people to be a bed, to be able to choose the kind of neighbors and governments i like to take on to me . i can breathe. i. we're taking it from a thing, i'm am

will the protests topple them? who was regime gilder? let me put to that central question straight away to you. how dangerous is this for the regime? i think it's very dangerous. i think what daniel said, whatever happens this flame that we have been seeing on the streets and all over the country. it won't go out, it won't go away. and we see the young girls they have seen, they have felt. you cannot underestimate the importance of emotions. here they have felt they have experienced freedom. they've taken off their, he job, they have dance on the street. they have sang on the streets they, they felt it all the experience at all. and it is true that the regime is cracking down very, very hard on every one, whatever, wherever they see something they've seen videos of and security forces just shooting randomly on the street like things that, that's just unimaginable for us here. and even if they do end at some point, which we don't even know, i think also that it might just go on for weeks or months. this is not going to go away. and i beli

in these protests. they're intersectional, so you see different people with different ages, different socio—economic backgrounds, different ethnicities, different religions participating in these protests so it's very difficult and they are very broad—based so it's difficult to quell them even though there is a lot of violence being used. the chinese president, xijingping, hasjust begun his address at the opening of china's twentieth communist party congress. we can have a look at some live pictures. turkey says people have died in a combine after a suspected methane explosion friday. president erdogan visited the site and promised a thorough investigation. that's get more of what is going on in china. in a break of decades—long tradition, delegates are likely to hand mr xi a third term as party chief. it paves the way for him to become the most powerful leader since mao zedong. frank tsai is the founder of china crossroads. i asked him what he'll be watching out for in the speech. we were looking for m

protest nearly month ago.once again secretive forces have opened fire on protesters. i've seen the video of a teenager being shot in the head. unfortunately being killed. i've sn video of people being covered in blood, in really disturbing scenes, what is curious about this one, just yesterday we heard in iranian state media that the head of the police force had actually been sacked because of his response to the protest that happened a month ago. in which 100 protesters were killed. this is again, another protest that has been responded with violence by security forces. so far what we have seen, violent crackdown of protesters has not worked. it has intensified the protest. bear in mind, they are one of the poorest areas of iran, many of the population there are actually sunni muslim, not shiite. >> paint a picture of what is happening, what is going on across the country more than a month after the protest erupted after the death of this young woman. how the authorities are shifting and changing their respon

whenever a jack, nobody i just to protect the protests was attacked. so who attacked these protest? the protest was at sacked using government owned properties, government's own efforts. so are you suggesting, sarah, that the people, the young hoodlums, as the officer has called them here, who infiltrated the protest was sent by the government? this is a very serious claim. i am not suggesting i am saying you're saying it on the day on the 9th of the lucky master car, we were able to get about 21. people with the same shapes of i mean the same shipped of cut last like this much, etc. the same, they had the same tags and so it was like they were given to them. so we got about 20 to one of these people. i still have a, i mean must do all the videos we played at the panel. that was actually what made a panel to reach the decision. we took this people to the police and guess what? we're told that they are not their problem. all right, let's come back to the office a. i think it's important that you able to respond. i'm will look at the answers protest, but everybody turns a blind eye to

it's now been more than a month since the protests began. amidst a crackdown by the government and internet blackouts, it's clear the dissent is far from over. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. more than 1,000 paddington bears and other soft toys, which were left outside royal residences in tribute to the queen, are being donated to the children's charity barnardo's. the bears were mainly left, along with flowers and marmalade sandwiches, at stjames' park and windsor castle in the days after her majesty's death. they've all been professionally cleaned, and queen consort camilla posed for a picture with a some of them before they were donated. we have seen plenty of sunshine for most parts of the country through the afternoon but we are beginning to see signs of a change in our thickening cloud towards our south—west, that is associated with this area of low pressure that will push its way north—eastwards overnight and into tomorrow. rain arriving quickly this evening, across england, wales and northern ireland, a dry start the night in scotland with

dismissal of their existence, and the reasons for why people are protesting people are protesting andld go away. these times around things appear to be different. not only have these protests not gone away but we have seen the last couple of days that they have actually intensified, they have become bigger. two nights ago, as iranians took to the streets to commemorate a0 days since the passing of mahsa amini whose death started the uprising. we saw some of the biggest crowds that we have seen in the last 42 days. some of the towns and cities that have not seen any unrest, we saw large crowds of people coming out and once again yesterday and today we are seeing in schools, universities in some towns and cities people are protesting and another tactic that people are using is marking of passing of other young women and teenagers who were killed within the last six weeks and have become the faces of the protest. at the moment, what we're seeing is that the regime does really not have an answer to this unrest and the protests are likely to continue for some time. a man has been arrested

for example, these protests, one of the characteristics of these protests is scarves.king out their scarves, they're burning their scarves. so we know that this is for this protest and not for the previous ones. right. and you also mentioned the safety of people who are contacting you. and i wonder how you're able to establish what you can put out without risking their safety with inside iran. i can give you a good example. like, for example, one of the sources i was talking to was arrested by iranian security forces. so when, and one of the things that iranian security forces do, the first thing they do when they arrest someone is that they gain access to their social media account. so, after she was released, she contacted me again. but how could i be sure that this is not an agent that is talking to me and it's her? so i asked her... she couldn't make any phone calls or that, so i asked her to send me a voice message so i can be sure that it's her. and these are some of the ways that we manage to check if this is the right person we are talking to and then cross—che

iran has seen protests before.se protests? well, these protests are a little bit different than previous protests because, first of all, it started — they were sparked by a demand for women�*s rights, and we see women in these protests and leading them more than any other protests in the past. the 2009 protests, which were against the presidency of ahmadinejad, and then the last two major protests in 2017 and 2019, women were present but they weren�*t so front and centre. we also see a lot of young people, including high schoolers now, participating in these protests. but these protests are across the country, very dispersed, decentralised, organised locally, in big and small cities, the provinces. we have cities that never participated in protests in the past who are participating in these protests. they�*re intersectional, so you see different people with different ages, different socio—economic backgrounds, different ethnicities, different religions, participating in these protests. so it�*s very difficult, and

they were like, i don't need to even protest. i don't need to be active or journalist to be arrested to be put in a prison or to be coach, just because i am raining just because i am a woman that can put my life in a trip. said therefore i think it was. they understood that they should take action and iranian own were dable, could relate to debt the situation and they wanted a change. now they are demanding change. well, there have been protests in iran numerous times, so over the last several decades. but most of them are generally put down rather swiftly by a brutal response from the iranian government. so what is likely to happen this time around? what's next for these protests? i believe we are in a pro says it's easy not to have. we don't know what exactly didn't happen next with what we know is that piece, lizette, very big step toward change for iranian people, what is happening be spawn, ease, dead protest. there are very diapers and from different background from different ed snakes. so therefore, it seems these time eas

the main difference between these protests in the previous ones is that in the previous protests, theeople use to congregate in areas -- places around cities and towns and but now they have become wiser, the protesters. they make sure there protests are all over the country in various areas and sporadic. so it makes it very difficult for antiriot forces to be present in every corner of the country. and it is very regrettable that in order to crackdown on these protesters, the regime is even trying to persuade children by ving them money to and join the government forces and stand against the protesters. meanwhile, many protesters have been arrested, including schoolchildren and one of the schoolchildren was killed when the school was raided. and also the regime is exploiting orphans in of the country and turning them more or less into child soldiers for the regime. nermeen: dr. ebadi, could you elaborate? what do you mean the regime is turning children into child soldiers? >> look, the iranian government is signatory to the convention of the rights of the child. as you know, the conve

i remember when these protests first broke out.xpectation was that we see this, then it dies down and nothing seems tchange. how unusual is this? >> we are not looking at the longest -- now looking at the longest and geographically most widespread protest against iran in the last 43 years. this is usually significant. usually, there were a rough for a couple of days, quickly crackdown,ozens, sometimes hundreds killed, and then it died down. but these generations on the street art far less afraid than previous generations. they do not want the islamic republic and they know how to mobilize themselves. lewis: to indonesia, authorities have sacked the police chief in the city where the football stadium disaster happened saturday. nine other officers suspended and the investigation is underway. 120 five people were killed. this w the moment police started firing tear gas at fans who had stormed onto the pitch when the game ended. witnesses say more than 20 rounds were fired, sending thousands toward the exits, but some of those exits w
