A further five classified documents have been found at the delaware home of us president , joe biden relating to his time as Barack Obamas vice president. His lawyers says they were immediately handed to thejustice department. At ten oclock, lucy will be here with a full round up of the days news. First, reporting iran inside bbc persian. Here we go in ten, nine, eight, seven, six. Thank you very much, everybody, thank you. Lovely, good stuff, well done. That was the toughest interview of my entire career. We didnt know that we were going to get him. I had no idea that we might get him. So just literally five seconds before the interview, the producer shouted in my ear, saying that we have mahsas father on the line. I just didnt know what to tell him. What do you tell someone who spent all his life, raising his daughter to the age of 22, and now shes gone . Over, just for nothing. Right, so we need to choreograph it a bit. So we are getting ready for our live at 12. 30, which on normal days, i go downstairs to the bbc world studio. But today, because its iran special, were going to do it from our fifth floor to show how the Persian Service is working. But it would be good to do a quick rehearsal. Its exactly four weeks ago today, mahsa amini died. So the bbc is doing an iran special and every day, there is a live page on the website, and all the tv bulletins are covering it. Radio is having a special programme, as well. And that means weve started from 6. 30am this morning, so its going to be a long day. So nobody here has any problems. . The harassment that our iranian colleagues and their families in iran have had to deal with in the last few years. That line, dont want to be seen. So its completely voluntary for colleagues who wish to be on screen, and who do not. Ok, so when were live, we can ask them to get out of the shot for ten minutes. 0k, shall we rehearse it . Yes. Whether theyll go ahead with the Iran Special Programme or not, i dont know. Its really, really, really annoying. We just heard that the chancellor of the exchequer, kwasi kwarteng, is gone sacked. And now, the whole iran special could be up in the air. And its so frustrating because its our story. So were now worried that they might not come to us, they might. This is a bigger story. The country is in a crisis, i understand it. But as an iranian who feels so close to the story, its awful. Awful. But we will keep fighting, the storys not going away. There are times that the staff are pushing for more coverage, and the staff wants to do more and stay on it. And they say no, or maybe its not important enough. So theres no, we dont always get it right, of course we dont. Who does . And because im just a presenter, im not a decision maker, i find it so frustrating. I mean, judging by what she said said there, its still a goer. And in theirfight, theyre ready to sacrifice their lives and thats the difference between what were seeing on the streets now, and what we saw in previous protests. Thank you, are you done with us . How are you feeling now . Its big for the bbc to dedicate an entire hour to iran. Its big and theyre finally in tune with the gravity of the story, and how my colleagues in the Persian Service were the force behind it. From the moment it started, we just went to english editors, and we showed them on our phone, saying that this is important. And they said, were going to put it on air. And eventually for them, four weeks after the protest, to dedicate an entire hour to the story its a very important moment. Thank you very much, i think we are done. Thank you so much for today. No, thank you. We had a fish in our pond, so we have to remove the pond. We realised, oh, my gosh how many fishes did we have . It was three. 0h i think that bird with the long legs ate them. Yeah. This is a beautiful, beautiful park, and we used to come with my wife a lot. Yeah. On phone . Assault on the iranian parliament. Many of the gunmen were airmen i and soldiers whod broken their oath of allegiance to the shah and formed up Underthe Banner Of the Ayatollah Khomeini. I was very young when the revolution happened. I vividly remember when Ayatollah Khomeini actually consolidated his power. He imposed islamic rule and he wanted to have an islamic state. And women have to cover my sisters has to cover up and go to school, something unseen before. My daughter asked me a lot of time, can you go home . I think, like many iranians, i really hope iran become a place, an environment created in the country which i can go home. I can go home and show. My parents never had a chance to see my daughter. I used to go to front line in syria, in iraq. I would stay for months. But, you know, my wife got cancer and she passed away. And from the day she got cancer, i realised i was hit. Oh, my gosh, if something happened to my wife and if something happened to me, my daughter wouldnt have anyone. So i have to reduce my assignment to a conflict zone. Thats why, if i go to berlin, if i go to other places and come back by the end of the day or the next day, maximum, or a few days. Sometimes we underestimate our children understanding. On the radio she heard, they said, there was a mass crowd. I said, yeah, this is the 40th day of mahsa jina amini. And he said, baba, how about nika . Why dont they have a 40th day for nika . Nika was another girl, she was killed, she was age 16. You know, some of the stress and pressure indirectly, im afraid, is transferred to our children, as well. And its very painful, actually, to see how much they are being affected. We still need to make sure the pictures are correct, so we asked them to again contact the aunt and ask her, is this video exactly of nika, or not . Her aunt, before she was arrested, she told me that she had seen a video of her that she was on a dumpster, land she was burning her headscarf| on keshavarz boulevard, in tehran. But still, because its from the back, we cannot be 100 sure that this is the same person. This is a video that theyjust published, isnt it . Yeah, it is. This is really difficult because you dont see much of her face. The clothes shes wearing. She called one of her friends and said that she was being chased by the security police. But in here, you see that its as if shes taking a stroll on the street, and she looks pretty relaxed. Shes not even running away from anything. But i feel that there are still some concerns for security reasons. But im trying to find the mother, because i think that is the most. Reliable source, and trying to contact her. Today, most likely, it will be the largest gathering of iranian diaspora. Because so many people from different walks of life different political divides, different ethnicities, regional all gather together in one voice, supposed to support iran protests. But we have been under attack from so many different directions. And i, for one, i have no fear of anything. You saw, we just entered the airport, people come greet me and they want to take a picture. But in a large crowd and riot, normally you just need one person to throw a punch, and there will be many that follow. Many people, i think, are students. They go back to iran, they dont want to be seen on camera. Look, there was a ukrainian flight shot down by the Iranian Revolutionary guard. So he was saying, your report has a humanity in it. We love you, you are one of the anyway, sorry, i dont have to say what he says, but its more of a gratitude because at the time i produced that report, my own wife was on the verge of death. Actually, as a matter of fact, a day later she died. But i think at that moment, i could feel their pain. I knew what it means to lose a loved one. I think it came across, and we have a saying in persian it says, whatever comes from the heart lands on the heart. So i think so many people are like that, they know if theres any sincerity with it. We verified this place. So we have three people confirming the action. Irib, Iranian State tv, published a video of her going inside into a building. Then later on, when i talked to the family ive managed to talk to the mother, she confirmed that this footage was the correct one. So this is nika and the other footage, she was like, im extremely doubtful, i i think thats not nika at all. They faked it, or it mighti have been someone else, it mightve been an actress. Much phone chimes. So her aunt is right now detained, and i obtained this from another. Source close to the family, and its addressing a cemetery where she was supposed to be buried. And in this letter, it mentions the reason for nikas death i it says, severe blows of hard object to her body. So ijust called tehrans cemetery, and the person who picked up the phone confirmed that this person i works there and this is his title l hes in charge of this department in tehran cemetery. So we can be sure that this is quite accurate. Its like pieces of puzzles we have to put together to have a correct picture. So under verification, sometimes its not possible people covering their faces, the quality is bad thats why sometimes bbc persian publishes news later than other outlets, because we have to completely make sure editorially that what were publishing is correct. Singing in iranian. Shes singing here, you can see. Singing continues. Ive cut my Bereavement Leave short to come back and do some shifts, as were short of staff after what happened to rana. Im not really feeling myself, and im not feeling well. But this is what we do, we have to cover for each other. Because at the moment, we cant really stop. This is the most important period since we started. What do you think happened to rana . The tape was just put together in a way to ruin rana. Thats the only way that i can interpret that. And she worked for 15 years in front of the camera, and she said whatever she said in front of the camera and people are just cancelled all those years. Being in that position is always very difficult, and i can really feel for rana. And that really saddens me. Thank you, well be coming back to you again shortly. Myself, i was targeted with these kinds of things for years and years. If i can go through the headlines, thatll be nice. Like, they brought my writings of, like, 25 years ago. And i explained about it, but it went kind of viral, and they kind of tried to ruin me, as well. Working for the bbc, you cant be just one person. You are part of a Bigger Picture than your own face. And your face belongs to bbc. Me, rana we are made with the bbc� s brand. Thats why we cant really talk about it, and just let the bbc take charge. And thats what were trying to do. Hello. After all of the rain, its Colder Weather. Thats going to be our biggest concern going into the weekend. We still have a lot of Flood Warnings in force. Theres still a lot of water lying around, but actually drier in the coming days as Colder Weather sets in. Colder air has been trickling its way south across the uk through saturday. But sunday into monday we will all move into arctic air and it will be a change. We will all feel overnight tonight, something a little wintry perhaps out of this week. Weather system drifting its way south. Some snow showers for scotland. Very gusty winds overnight. Gales to the southwest of scotland and for the northwest of northern ireland. Strength of the wind tends to hold the temperatures up. Were looking at a frost across scotland, but elsewhere we should see temperatures staying largely just above freezing. So were looking at rain really out of this system as it drifts south across england. Wales giving some showers through sunday morning. A few more snow showers for the north west of scotland on sunday. But for the majority, actually a fine day with a lot of sunshine, lighter winds than today, but feeling colder. Our top stories.
