Hundreds of people have been killed in the violence surrounding demonstrations in Iran. That’s according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency. Donald Trump has said he is considering military action against Iran’s ruling regime. But the US President has also claimed that’s Iran’s leader has reached out to him and proposed negotiations.

And Bardsey Island – or Ynys Enlli – is looking to recruit three new members of staff. The island is two miles off the tip of the Llyn Peninsula. There’s no mains electricity or indoor toilets. So have you ever lived in a remote location? Tell us what it was like.
