India's 'cockroach' protests

The protest movement, known as the Cockroach Janta Party, is demanding the resignation of the education minister over leaked exam papers.

On the first day of the US-Israeli war with Iran, a strike hit a primary school in Minab in the south of the country, killing 156 people - 120 of them children. Almost five months on, the US has still not released the findings of its investigation into the tragedy, although media reports of a preliminary US military assessment suggest they were likely responsible. We speak to the BBC's Nawal Al-Maghafi who has been to Minab with a BBC team.
