Six O'Clock News

Available for over a year

The president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, has appealed to young people not join the unrest sweeping his country — as the authorities continue their deadly crackdown. Three teenagers and a man in his 50s have been killed in a car crash in Bolton. The UK's former ambassador to Washington, Lord Mandelson, has declined to apologise to the victims of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for maintaining a friendship with the disgraced financier following his initial conviction. Plus: one of the country's largest concert instruments, an organ 14 metres tall, has been played in public for the first time since its restoration.
