After the crackdown: what is happening on the streets of Iran?

What is the mood in Iran’s capital? Are people still protesting in the streets? What is the regime saying about what happened? Richard Engel is in Tehran for NBC News and tells Yalda what he is seeing and what officials are telling him. Because of the internet issues in Iran, Richard’s connection dropped off halfway through. Yalda then speaks about her exclusive interview with FIFA boss Gianni Infantino. When asked whether FIFA should lift its ban on Russia, he said it had "not achieved anything". He also explains why he stands by his decision to give President Trump the FIFA Peace Prize. You can also watch the podcast on our YouTube channel here.

Can Starmer survive the Mandelson scandal?

Keir Starmer is fighting for his career amid one of the biggest political scandals of the century. Harriet thinks the prime minister could be brought down after he appointed Peter Mandelson as the US ambassador, despite knowing about his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. So can Starmer find the strength to turn a corner, reset his whole team and admit he was wrong? Or is it too late? Harriet thinks his tone this week made him look "gullible and naive". And what does the whole fiasco say about politics and the establishment as a whole? Beth, Ruth and Harriet explain how Peter Mandelson created a network of people he relied upon in politics and the media. Peter Mandelson denies any wrongdoing and has apologised to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. You can WhatsApp the podcast at 07934 200 444 or email electoraldysfunction@sky.uk.

Iran's information war: the battle for control of the internet

How does the Iranian regime use technology to control its people? How has AI and misinformation been used in the current wave of protests? The Iranian regime just implemented the longest internet shutdown in its history. For over two weeks, very little information was getting in or out of the country as security forces cracked down hard on protestors. Shutting off the internet is something the regime has done many times before. But why and how does it do it? Mahsa Alimardani is associate director of technology threats and opportunities at WITNESS and specialises in how disinformation and AI are used in protests across the globe. An Iranian herself, Mahsa tells Yalda the full scale of the misinformation tactics used by the regime as well as her ambitions to democratise satellite internet access.

Mandelson – the biggest political scandal since Profumo?

John Profumo was secretary of state for war when he had an affair with Christine Keeler, which ultimately brought down Conservative prime minister Harold Macmillan in the early 1960s. Parallels are now being drawn between the Profumo affair, and the crisis Sir Keir Starmer is facing over Peter Mandelson's links to Jeffrey Epstein. Not just because of the damage to his government but also in how the people at the centre of the scandals behaved as though normal rules did not apply to them. It's said that history often repeats itself - and it seems politics is no different. Niall is joined by Vanessa Holburn, author of The Profumo Affair, to discuss the parallels between the two scandals. Producer: Tom Gillespie and Emily Hulme Editor: Wendy Parker

Regime crackdown: Life inside Iran

It's been a month since a wave of protests spread across Iran, followed by a brutal government crackdown. With the country under an internet blackout, it's still unclear how many have been killed - Richard and Yalda discuss what the death toll could be and we hear from one woman who shares what life is like inside Iran. With Trump’s Board of Peace now established, Richard and Yalda explain what it is, who is on it and whether it could ultimately rival the United Nations. Finally, as the United States deals with the aftermath of the killing of Alex Pretti – the man who was shot dead by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis - Richard and Yalda explain whether this could be a turning point for the country.

Andrew and Epstein: How will the royals respond?

It seemed inevitable there would be more damaging documents in the latest batch of the Epstein files relating to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. Neither the former prince, nor the wider Royal Family, have responded to this most recent tranche, in which Andrew is pictured on all fours, leaning over an unidentified woman. So what else is inside the latest drop? What does it say about his relationship with the convicted sex offender? And how much further can Andrew fall? Niall speaks to Sky’s Royal Correspondent Rhiannon Mills Producer: Natalie Ktena Editor: Mike Bovill
