BBC World Service - World Have Your Say, Iran & Saudi Arabia

Saudis and Iranians on what the diplomatic row between the two countries means to them.

As diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran reach a new low - following the execution of Shia Muslim cleric Nimr al-Nimr by Saudi authorities - we ask people from both countries what these heightened tensions mean to them. 

An armed group is occupying a US government building in Oregon, but opinions are divided on how to describe it: are they 'patriots', 'terrorists', or something else? 

And we talk to Kenya's Garissa University College staffers who've returned to the campus today, almost nine months after the killing of nearly 150 people by the Islamist militant group al-Shabab.
