There is another place where underneath the mound was a house where six people have lived and the neighbours were not sure if they had been buried there. It has been that kind of situation all day. There is a quiet despair and grief underneath it. We saw a woman in front of us double over crying because she had heard that her childs body had been found and she would not speak to us, understandably. Terrible moment for her. We spoke to another man who had returned from the morgue where he had seen the body of his nine year old son, and his daughter said the water it had rushed into their house, the daughter had been carried away with it but was able to hang onto a tree branch. The father let go of his son and he drowned. So many stories like that here.

A teenager was sexually declared and killed with undercover agents working for the Security Forces according to a leaked document obtained by the Bbc World Service investigation. She was 16 when she disappeared in september in 2022 after telling a friend that police were chasing her. The authorities denied involvement in her death claiming that she took her own life. What appears to be a classified report by the Iranian Revolutionary guards reveals the teenager was beaten to death by the agents who detained her. We have this report and a warning, some of the details are distressing. This is the moment an ordinary teenage girl became an iranian icon. Nika shakarami is burning the hijab as part of the women, life, Freedom Movement that swept iran in september 2022. Nine days later, her motherfound her dead. At the time, the iranian government claimed that nika had killed herself. But bbc Eye Investigations has obtained a document telling a very different story. It appears to be a classified report from the Islamic Revolutionary guard corps, or irgc, part of irans Security Forces. We have translated it into english, and it summarises a secret hearing on nikas case. According to the document, nika was hunted down and arrested by team 12, one of many undercover units at the protest. She was put in the back of their vehicle, an unmarked freezer truck, with her hands bound. The report includes the direct testimony of team 12 explaining what happened next. I could hear the sound of the baton hitting her. Is she breathing . I think it was behrooz who answered, no, shes dead. We cross checked the documents contents with geolocated videos from the protest, nikas Death Certificate and her mothers testimony. Translation her face and cheekbones were broken. Her teeth were knocked out and the back of her head had been hit so hard it caved in. Thats what killed her, the damage to her head. We also showed the document to multiple experts and overall, despite a few inconsistencies, they said it looks genuine. 0ne expert agreed to test the reports id number with his own sources inside the irgc. Translation this report is a small part of a 322 page case file. The Report Number is from a judicial investigation about the rioters in 2022. They confirm this. Is there any way that document could be a fake . No, theres nothing. Its original, and we accept that. The document also reveals the hearings conclusion that Sexual Assault caused the fight in the rear compartment and that strikes from team 12 caused the death of nika shakarami. None of team 12 received any punishment for her death. We put our allegations to the irgc and the government of iran. They did not respond. Reha kansara, bbc news. The bbc has discovered that staff who abused children in so called coming rooms at a Special School in North East London have not been sacked. The abuse recorded on cctv between 2014 and 2017 included children are being hit and kicked and locked up for hours on the school says it acted in the best interest of pupils and added the footage over to police and the school. We have this report. Its a scandal, because no ones been brought to justice. Children hit, kicked and locked inside alone for hours. What do you want to happen now . Justice. Justice for my son. My sons future has been destroyed. Today, we reveal the reality of abuse in so called calming rooms, and what the school did in response. Calming room report, david gloria. 11 17, staff recording david saying, i dont understand. Ricardo says his son was regularly placed in seclusion at whitefield. In this report, he was observed for three hours. 12 59, hitting head with his own hands. 13 13, urinating on the floor, crying. Ricardo, a police officer, was so appalled he demanded to see footage. My son, who was by himself in that room, in a panic state, crying. Self harm. Begged them for water. They just ignored him. David, how did that make you feel inside, being placed in the rooms . I was sweaty, i was angry, i was upset. And they dont listen to me. They let me do wee wee on the floor. In 2021, cctv footage from inside the rooms was discovered, despite them being shut four years earlier. The police investigated, but no charges were brought. Now weve uncovered a catalogue of physical and Emotional Abuse against some of the most Vulnerable Children in the country, many unable to speak. Children were pushed into rooms with rhino pads, slammed against doors and left naked, sitting in urine. Weve learned that one boy, ashley, was sectioned three years after leaving the school. You would associate these practices with putting an animal in a cupboard, nota human being. Weve discovered that ashley was pinned up against a wall and hit with such force his body was described as jolting aged just 12. Weve been let down and were left in the dark. We dont know all the details about what ashleys been through. We should be given that, by right. We can also reveal that the schools own investigations proved that six members of staff had abused its pupils, but none were sacked. It also judged that a staff member should be referred to the barring service. But this wasnt done, and they continue to teach pupils today. It just is totally unacceptable. The child here clearly must have felt punished and imprisoned. We took ourfindings to the childrens commissioner. Im shocked and horrified. There is no place for that in this country and it needs to be stopped immediately. Action really needs to be taken in situations like this. So id be very shocked to see any member of staff whod had that proved, those kinds of allegations proved against them, working with children. The school told us its new leadership immediately shared the footage with the police when it was discovered. It said three Staff Members who continue to work there had received extensive training. It added that it was not legally obliged to make Dbs Referrals because they were not withdrawn from their roles, only suspended. The bbc has spoken to nine of the 39 families involved. They told us theyve been misled about the use of isolation and repeatedly denied access to the footage. Calming room it was a cell. But the only crime david has is special needs. Noel titheradge, bbc news. We will have the latest on the measles development. Exciting story. That is next. Lets turn to the story about the measles because great excitement amongst scientists after a new medical trial in the gambia suggests a Vaccine Patch could be a safe and effective alternative to injections as a way of protecting Young Children against measles. The device is the size of a sticking plaster and easier to transport and store especially in remote areas. We can talk to our health reporter. This really is an exciting development. It looks like a sticking plaster, you would see these tiny little needles but it will not feel like an injection when it goes in. It is easier to transport and you do not need the refrigeration, the same way that you do with the glass vials when you are using syringes, so the real hope is you can get to these remote areas and parts of the world where we are seeing big outbreaks of measles, because the World Health Organization has
