Iran's leaders under pressure after more protests

BBC World Service - Newsday, Iran's leaders under pressure after more protests

The authorities in Iran have broken up a second day of demonstrations using teargas.  This follows the admission by the Iranian military that it shot down a commercial airliner with 176 people on board last week; the Royal Family holds a high level emergency meeting to discuss the future of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex; and retired Pope Benedict XVI has issued a defence of priestly celibacy in the Catholic Church as his successor considers easing a ban on married men serving as priests.
