Why Iranians have been queueing for chicken – BBC News
Iran’s government has been defiant about the US sanctions reinstated by then-President Donald Trump in 2018 when he abandoned a nuclear deal – but also very focused on getting them lifted.
Talks with the Biden administration on the issue have been taking place for weeks, with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani sounding more upbeat than US officials about reaching an agreement.
Though Iran’s leaders seem reluctant to admit it, the sanctions have exacerbated already serious economic problems – as recent long queues for chicken have shown.

The state of ceasefire talks between the US and Iran has been thrown into question, after American forces launched fresh strikes …

The government of Iran has restored some access to the internet this week, after a lengthy blackout imposed on and off, for most of this year. Many Iranians are celebrating the move, which has allowed some people to contact friends and family members abroad for the first time in weeks. It could also be a lifeline for Iranians who depend on digital platforms to earn a living.
There is speculation that the move could be intended to show US President Donald Trump that the regime is willing to make some compromises at home.
But digital monitoring groups say the level of internet access is still poorer than it was before Tehran imposed its blackouts, first as a response to mass protests in January, and again at the start of the war with the US and Israel. Access to some sites is still blocked and analysts say two-factor authentication is not available in Iran, impeding many people’s access to platforms like Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp.
Reha Kansara, from the BBC’s Global Disinformation Unit, tells us what restrictions Iranians still face, how people are trying to get around them, and how this partial restoration of internet access could play into the ceasefire talks between Tehran and Washington.

The public health risk from the current Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo has been raised from “high” to “very high” by the World Health Organization (WHO).
In an update on Friday, WHO head Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also said the risk in the wider region in Africa was “high”, but it remained “low” globally.
The rare species of Ebola, known as Bundibugyo, has no proven vaccine and kills about a third of those infected. So far, the outbreak centred on DR Congo has resulted in 177 suspected deaths and 750 suspected cases.
It comes as scientists at Oxford University in the UK are developing a new vaccine that could be ready for clinical trials within two to three months.

Warning: contains details of alleged sexual offences and misconduct
Senior staff on Married at First Sight UK had an “unhealthy” focus on whether cast members were having sex, former workers on the show have told BBC News.
Producers would deliberately try to make contestants angry or upset for the sake of generating watchable drama, they say.
The former workers on the Channel 4 show have spoken to the BBC following a Panorama investigation into Married at First Sight UK (MAFS UK). Two former cast members say they were raped by their on-screen partners, and a third alleged a non-consensual sex act. Their on-screen partners have denied all the allegations against them.
Lawyers for CPL, the production company which makes MAFS UK, say the latest allegations are from a small minority of former workers, and the company’s “commitment to welfare… is evidenced by the high consecutive return rate of crew across the MAFS series”.
Channel 4 says contributor welfare is “always our primary concern across all productions”.

So it’s official.
Masks never worked
UFOs are real
CCN & Facebook are paid liars
[falsely targeted Trump fans as extreme right/ racist]
BLM are Communist farce
The virus was manmade
CCP lied about the above [bats!!?]
Fauci’s lab made it as a bioweapon
Social media hiding vxx deaths
HCQ/Ivermectin were safe cures all along
Defunding Police creates crimewave
Liberals are just learning this now.
They’re genuinely surprised, but only because they believe their news at face value.
They lied about all of the above.
What’s next?
Did Biden/Dems cheat election?
Was virus launched intentionally?
Where our politicians/ medical chiefs in on the scheme?
Was the pandemic simply to enslave us?
What really went on on Eptiens Island & with who?
Are most Government Officials in power thru blackmail?

It's like the Iranian Government would rather starve their citizens to death, than give up their Nuclear program, that type of government is truly evil, you would watch children starve just because you refuse to do the right thing for your country.

If you continue to reject being a good member of the international community, then go crying to China for help. The rest of the free world simply don't want to do any business with a terrorist organization masquerading as "Iranian government". You have the "power of choice", to end all suffering of Iranian people. We all pray for the good citizens of Iran to one day rise up against the terrorists in charge of their country, and to embrace freedom and economic prosperity once again. But until then, only tyranny like China and North Korea who have no respect for international law, are happy to trade with Iran. The choice is yours, we are happy to wait as long as it takes.
