those in plain clothes or apparently civilians were and are Hizbollah affiliated militias because they were using the Walkie Talkies. Israel always tries to evade civilian casualties but Islamic maniacs love to and intend to harm, kill and rape ordinary people as it's recommended by their leaders and book. It's a war THEY started and what do they expect? to get a warm welcome?

Hezbollah is a terrorist group and not " armed forces." They're humiliated and defeated, and there's no signs of being strong! IRI doesn't have the guts to do anything! A meeting of their commanders was blown up. nothing left of Hezbollah! Other Arab countries are making fun of their humiliation. Just look at the social media,

dear BBC officials! don't you see language incapability was a hindrance in Mr. Yazdani's speech holding him back to express his true inner feelings and viewpoints clearly? why you insist on inviting those who are not in the middle of crisis with better language proficiency?

آقا ی داریوش یزدانی! لااقل از مترجم استفاده می کردید که بتوانید آنچه در ذهن دارید را بیان کنید، اصرار شما به صحبت کردن به زبان انگلیسی این فرصت استثنایی را از مردم می گیرد که پیام خود را به گوش مردم جهان برسانند، برای مثال ده ها بار از you know استفاده کردن!! صداقت و خلوص نیت شما بر ما پوشیده نیست

why BBC is trying to downgrade the protests to women rights only? it's much more than that! they desire regime change! and when it comes to analyst on Iran, why do you choose people who people no longer listen to or trust? or people who are foreigners without having a deep understanding of the situation?

Coal Mafia is fuelling the election expenses of the ruling party BJP. It's more powerful than Modi himself. So it's a no go zone.

20 minutes talking about Russia but no mention that China may be responsible? I think BBC is compromised...

Some of the stories in this episode are definitely not more important than what is happening in Nigeria now. Are you avoiding the story??
