BBC World Service - BBC OS, Iran: Protests continue

The crackdown by Iranian security forces is intensifying

At least 76 protesters have been killed by Iranian security forces during many days of unrest following the death of a woman in custody

Protests are continuing after the death in custody earlier this month of 22 year old Mahsa Amini - she'd been detained for allegedly breaking the country's strict dress code rules. With access to the Internet being extremely limited in Iran, it is getting extremely difficult to speak to people protesting inside the country. We will share the voices we have managed to connect to.

We bring you some of the latest BBC reporting from Ukraine, with our correspondent witnessing what’s happening on the front line of Ukraine’s counter-offensive. We also connect you with reporters at Russia's borders with Finland, Georgia and Kazakhstan where many people are still trying to leave the country following President Putin's calls for mobilisation. 

And we tell you why a satirical video by an ad agency has reopened a debate about what to do with stray dogs in the Indian state of Kerala.
