I explained that Khamenei’s funeral is a show staged by the regime to send a message of unity among Iranians, while the reality is far from that.
His mourners are allowed to take to the streets and are given food, drinks, transportation, and security. Protesters, meanwhile, are met with bullets, arrests, and the threat of execution.
Khamenei was killed less than two months after his forces killed thousands of Iranian protesters.

A trio of legends on BBC News today! @KasiaMadera followed by @KarinBBC followed by @MartineBBC. Happy Sunday 😃
A year ago I was preparing for surgery to remove the metalwork from my shinbone, which broke after a knee operation. This year, I completed the @LondonMarathon which I thought I would never do. I said it would be a one-off - but now I’m not so sure!
Thank you London 🫶❤️🇬🇧
Thank you for having me, BBC News at One. And thank you to the kindest colleagues for showing me the ropes. 🫶

Today is the ninth anniversary of the BBC Dad blooper.
Marion is now 13; James is now 9. Some recent pictures are attached below.
We did an interview looking back on the blooper for @InsideEdition, which should be up shortly.

I've been at South East Water HQ since the very early hours of this morning looking to speak to the CEO Dave Hinton.
So far no signs of him.
No replies to requests for an interview
Instead his comms team tell me there will be no comment just "our focus is on restoring water"
