BBC World Service - BBC OS, Iran suspected poisonings

We have the latest on the suspected poisonings of some schoolgirls in Iran

Protests have been taking place across Iran over suspected poisonings of some schoolgirls - our colleague from BBC Persian service will update us. 

We'll have the latest on the UK government’s plans to try and stop illegal Channel crossings, by banning those who enter the UK illegally from claiming asylum or re-entering in the future.  

We hear from a Syrian couple and their 7-year-old child about how they are coping living in a tent following the earthquake. They had fled to Turkey to escape the war in Syria, only to be left homeless following the devastating earthquake that hit the region a month ago.

And as a controversial new treatment for vitiligo that can restore pigment to the skin might become available on the NHS in the UK, we hear from people who have the condition and ask if they plan on using it?
