Iran: 麻豆社 in Tehran for first time since protest crackdown

The 麻豆社 has visited Iran for the first time since the crackdown by security forces on nationwide anti-government protests last month.

The 麻豆社's chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet is reporting from Tehran for the first time since the crackdown by security forces on nationwide anti-government protests last month. Iran's leaders are marking 47 years since the Islamic Revolution, with bunting and flags decorating the streets of Tehran. But the pain is still raw after unprecedented force was used to put down the protests.

Also in the programme: we speak to US Congressman on viewing the underacted Epstein files; and we look at new research which suggests brain exercises could help delay the onset of dementia.
