BBC World Service - BBC OS, OS conversations: Iranian journalists

What is it like for journalists to cover Iran inside and outside the country?

As Iran prepares to hold its presidential election to select a replacement for Hassan Rouhani, we are running a series of conversations bringing together Iranians to hear about their lives and thoughts. In our second conversation, BBC Persian presenter Rana Rahimpour talks to two of her colleagues about what it is like for journalists to cover Iran inside and outside the country.

We discuss the verdict by a UN tribunal in The Hague on the appeal by the former Bosnian Serb military leader, Ratko Mladic, against his conviction for genocide. 

We also learn about a joint operation by Australia and FBI that led to arrests of 800 suspected criminals who were tricked into using an FBI-run encrypted messaging app. 

We speak to our regular coronavirus expert Dr Swapneil Parikh in Mumbai India about the latest coronavirus stories.
