Iran's top nuclear scientist assassinated

Iran's Foreign Minister has condemned the killing as an 'act of state terror'.

Iran's most senior nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh has been assassinated near the capital Tehran, the country's defence ministry has confirmed. Western intelligence agencies view Fakhrizadeh as being behind Iran's covert nuclear weapons programme. We'll bring you the latest on the story.

Also, we'll discuss what it's like to be a Muslim woman working in the fashion industry. This is because a young American model - Halima Aden - recently announced that she's quitting her job as a model because it compromised her religious beliefs. We'll speak to two Muslim woman working in the industry to hear their experiences and reaction.

And we are returning to frontline health workers around the world to hear how they have been coping throughout the pandemic. Today we go to the US, which has seen over 13 million cases and 260,000 deaths, with hospitalisations also reaching record numbers. We'll speak to Dr Hana Akselrod, an infectious disease physician at George Washington University in Washington DC.
