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

We hear from two sisters, one in London and the other still living in Iran

We continue to bring together Iranians to hear about their lives and thoughts ahead of this week’s presidential elections. In today’s conversation two sisters - one in London and the other still living in Iran - discuss why so many people want to leave Iran and emotional difficulties of separation.

We’ll bring updates on the Euro 2020 football tournament and go to Hungary where the match between Hungary and Portugal is taking place in a full stadium. The authorities have dismissed concerns that it will lead to a rise in Covid infections.

Our medical expert Dr Isaac Bogoch joins us from Toronto to explain some of today’s coronavirus stories.

Model Chrissy Teigen has sparked a conversation on social media about trolling by apologising for bullying several people on Twitter in the past. We’ll speak to people who managed to change their habit of trolling.

We’ll also speak to a reporter in Atlanta Georgia about an argument over face masks that led to the death of a grocery store worker.
