In the Northern City of mashhad, demonstrators demanding an end to hardline clerical rule set Police Motorbikes alight and taunted the Security Services. From dorud in the west, video showed crowds scattering after two protesters were reportedly shot and killed. What began in provincial cities has now spread to the capital tehran and the Main University campus. These are worrying signs for the iranian government and the ultraconservative shia clerics, whove ruled over the country since the 1979 revolution. The government response organising large pro regime counterdemonstrations in support of the Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khamenei and warning people not to take part in what it called illegal protests. Shouting for the clerics to give him a job, this protester typifies the economic anger that many iranians feel. The last time that people protested like this was almost a decade ago, and some fear similar violent consequences now. This is a regime that knows how to manage its people and has a monopoly on the use of violence. They effectively demonstrated that in 2009, and i think that most iranians at least the ones that i have spoken to, in the age of 25 40 have not yetjoined these protests. Theres been Little International reaction but, responding on twitter, donald trump said the iranian government should respect peoples rights to express themselves and warned the world is watching. But dissent in iran is only tolerated to a point. Uniformed and plain Clothes Police have made dozens of arrests across the country a sign the authorities may already be turning the screw. Wyre davies, bbc news. Alex vatanka is a senior fellow at the middle east institute in washington. He says the regime could struggle to contain the protests, which are gathering momentum. Whats very clear is that this is an event that is picking up speed at historic rates. Frankly, this is very different in that sense from 2009. I mean, if you want to put this in an Historical Context and think about 2009, what happened then was you had a fight literally within the regime against the then president , mahmoud ahmadinejad. So you could almost call that a family feud of sorts. This time around, you cant say this is a family feud. Its coming from the street level, and thats what makes it dangerous. Can the regime really contain this, given that the social Economic Conditions are what they are, and as upsetting as they are to ordinary iranians . Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news. The black lives matter activist erica garner has died aged 27. She suffered a heart attack last week. Ms garner came to prominence three years ago after her father eric garner died after being choked by a Police Officer as he was being arrested for a minor offence.

Still to come the windfall, and the wait young people are set receive record inheritances, but not until their 60s. Residents from a block of flats in the centre of manchester are spending the night in emergency accommodation, after fire swept through their homes. Firefighters managed to stop the blaze destroying the entire building, but flames engulfed several floors of the twelve storey tower this afternoon. One person was taken to hospital suffering from the effects of breathing in smoke. 0ur correspondent Mark Edwardson sent us this report. This is Church Street in manchester. Its at the southern edge of what is called the northern quarter, an up and coming part of Manchester City centre. The fire broke out this afternoon. Firefighters were called after people reported flames licking out of the building from the windows there. Well, the first thing we knew was when our friends, who live on the second floor of the building, phoned us from the netherlands to say have we seen the news . Because their building was on fire. We were looking after their cats for them, we were going in to feed them morning and night, and they were very, very distressed about what is happening about their cats, so we said we would come down and try to find out what was happening. It looked as though things were on fire on the outside of the building. Balconies the solar partitions and the balconies are made out of timber, so quite obviously those had gone up in flames. You could see those from the video. So, yeah, quite scary. If youre getting stuck inside the building and stuffs on fire from the outside spreading that way, then, you know, thats not great, is it . In terms of casualties, we do know that one person has been taken to hospital suffering the effects of breathing in smoke. When asked, Greater Manchester fire and rescue service told us it is too early to speculate about the cause of the blaze, but they have confirmed that an investigation is already under way. Mark edwardson, bbc news, manchester. Younger people will enjoy the biggest inheritance boom of any post war generation according to a Research Body that analyses Living Standards. The Resolution Foundation says those born in the 80s and early 90s, known as millennials, will inherit more wealth than previous generations. There is a snag, though theyre not likely to benefit from the money until their 60s, as our Business Correspondent joe lynam explains. Weve long been told that millennials, aged between 17 and 35, face major financial challenges. They are paid less than their parents, they wont have generous pensions, and they cant get on the housing ladder. So we know theres a big generational wealth divide. Millennials are accumulating wealth at a far slower rate than the baby boomers before them did. And weve looked at whether inheritances are going to solve that problem for them. And they will play a really big role. There will be lots more money coming down in the coming decades. And it will be a bit more widely spread because of high Home Ownership amongst the parents. But this isnt the Silver Bullet to millennials Living Standards woes. Its match day at Sheffield United and there is always a sense of anticipation. But when it comes to money, this Study Suggests that young people will have to wait until theyre in their 60s before inheriting anything. But are they worried . You put so much work in at uni and so much into yourjob, and youre not going to be able to own a house and have a house for your family and i think thats difficult knowing that. Knowing that youve got to wait that length of time in the future. Well, well inherit it, but it was never our money to begin with. Exactly. So i dont suppose it makes a difference. Whether weve got to wait or not. Unless, of course, i spend it all before i go. Laughter. Which may happen. It may happen. Although millennials are set to inherit more than any previous generation, thanks to booming property values, that assumes that the inheritance is not spent on social care for their parents or themselves. Soaring property prices, especially in the south east, lie behind the expected surge in inheritances in the future. So, if youre in your 30s or younger and your parents own property, then you can expect to inherit something substantial. But if your parents dont own any major assets, then your future wealth prospects dont look as good. Joe lynam, bbc news. As people around the world get ready to mark the end of this year and the arrival of 2018, many cities will be celebrating new years eve with open air concerts, street parties and fireworks. But in europe, after a series of islamist attacks over the past 12 months against civilian targets, particular attention is being given to public safety. David campa nale reports. Live music, wine tasting, festive decorations, and good food all the vital ingredients in romania for a great party. But the tune in other european capitals as they prepare is so far more sombre. France has seen over 230 People Killed in attacks by islamist militants over the past three years. The paris police chief says his force is prepared for the terrorist threat, which he assessed as high. Over 10,000 police and Emergency Service workers are to be deployed in the capital, with a large force concentrating along the champs elysee. Large areas of central rome will ban cars from parking for 48 hours and the main tourist sites will have special protection. Celebrations at berlins Brandenburg Gate are expected to attract1 Million Party goers, but the authorities in germany face an additional challenge two years ago hundreds of women were robbed and sexually assaulted on new years eve in cologne and other cities by groups of men, many said to be from migrant backgrounds. This year, Berlin Police say women who feel threatened will be able to go to a special security area. Translation there is no womens zone as such its a red cross Security Point that was always there but is taking over the additional duty. If any woman is harassed at the event, they can go there to a staff of trained psychologists, but it is not a womens zone. But the idea has also been criticised by those who say large events should be organised so that assaults dont happen in the first place. Translation what is not normal is that women, especially young women, are attacked in public places, especially celebrations. But thats it. Others say they intend to party regardless. Um, i feel pretty safe. Im not scared. Yeah, im not scared. Yeah, yeah. I think the thing is fear that scares people. And i dont think you cant let that ruin your life, so. Yeah. David campanale, bbc news. It is to 12 am, you are watching bbc news. Our main headline thereve been clashes across iran between Anti Government protesters and security forces. In the capital tehran, thousands have rallied in support of the government. Hospitals across the United States are dealing with a severe shortage of a critical medical supply the bags used to administer fluids to patients. One of the biggest suppliers of the bags is based on puerto rico which was hit by hurricane maria. The bags, normally filled with saline and other fluids, are used to dilute drugs and help rehydrate patients. Scott gottlieb commissioner of the us. Food and Drug Administration has issued a statement about the situation earlier i spoke to ross thompson. He is executive director of pharmacy of Tufts Medical Center in boston. We have been forced to think of things a bit differently than our traditional Delivery Systems where we would put a medication into one of these bags to be infused over 30 minutes or whatnot. We are now entertaining options of drawing the active ingredients up into a syringe that can be administered via iv push over the course of three or five minutes. And am i right in thinking that would take nursing staff . It does require additional time for the nurse to remain at the patients bedside to push the product in over that time span. So what information are you getting about when the supply of these bags will pick up . We do receive the information just as you had referenced, coming from baxter. We know the Recovery Efforts in puerto rico are going to be important to fully recover from the disruption we have had in supply. We are also being told we will receive allocations of supply of a percentage of what we would normally receive. We are just finding its a bit unpredictable as to how much of that allocation we receive week by week. You just referenced baxter. For our viewers, that is the main company on puerto rico that makes these bags. They say restoring a reliable product supply remains their priority. Do you feel you have been supported by the government, the fda, in this . We know the fda has taken action to allow importation of iv fluids that are manufactured in different countries. Its hard for us to really know how much of that importation is truly reaching providers in the United States but we know the fda is actively taking applets. Does it worry you there is such a narrow supply, that an event like this, a hurricane, can completely blow out the supply of these bags to the United States . It does make you wonder how dependent you are on a handful of manufacturing plants around the world. We face the same type of disruption with a lot of other medications that tend to be in short supply. Right now, the fda has over 80 medications listed on their shortage lists that is published on the fdas website so just like the iv fluids, other essential medications we are managing around on a day to day basis. A mississippi sherrif says the us has a National Problem with dealing with Mental Health in the justice system. Greg pollan was speaking after an investigation by the bbc and propublica into the case of tyler haire. Haire who had a long history of Mental Health problems was injailfor almost four years without trial while waiting to be assessed. He is now serving a seven year sentence for stabbing his fathers girlfriend. We have some good memories of tyler. He was very loving. But we had problems with tyler when he was probably six months old. He started medication when he was four. He had generalised anxiety, delusional, suffered mood swings. I remember telling him goodbye, and i loved him, and hugging him. And that was the last time that i saw him until he was injail. This call is from a correctional facility. Do you remember what happened in the morning you got arrested . No, maam. All i remember is going to get water, actually looking for some kool aid i was left by my mother. After that, its blurry. Iremembercoming out of the bedroom and giving him a glass of water. Thats all i remember about that. Nothing else. I received a phone call from the county sheriffs office, and he tells me tyler has stabbed someone tyler haire was ordered at the beginning of this case to have a mental evaluation conducted, and it took four years. The roadblock was that there was never a bed for him, to put it literally. There was never a time that he worked his way to the top of the list, where he was the next person scheduled to be evaluated. The problem is across the street with our legislature. They dont properly fund that forensic unit, dont provide enough psychiatrists, enough personnel. I think that at some point, some court is going to force us to spend more money, and itll be a federal court. Imagine putting a 16 year old child that is already mentally disabled into that little cell forfour straight years. I cant even imagine the things that went through his mind. When incarcerated, the seriously mentally ill should be seen by health care professionals, and their needs tended to. That story was a collaboration between the bbc and propublica.

But across vast parts of the us, forecasters are predicting chilly temperatures over the new years celebrations, as an arctic blast hits. To show you just how cold it is, these are thresher sharks which have washed up frozen along cape cod, in the the us state of massachusetts. Thermometers could reach the lowest temperatures in nearly a century over the next few days and stay there into the first days of 2018. Im joined now by michael wehner. Hes a Senior Scientist at the Lawrence BerkeleyNational Laboratory in california. Thank you forjoining us on bbc news. In scientific terms, how extraordinary is this cold snap . Well, this cold snap is caused by a cold arctic air mass over the eastern United States by an unusual but not unprecedented jetstream pattern. Im a Climate Change scientists specialising in attributing human influence on these weather events and the question that is interesting to me, does Global Warming change the general circulation of the atmosphere to make this kind of event more likely . You mentioned Global Warming. We are a lwa ys you mentioned Global Warming. We are always being warned not to conflate Climate Change and individual weather events.
