Almost five months on, the US has still not released the findings of its investigation, although media reports of a preliminary US military assessment suggest they were likely responsible. On the first day of the conflict between Iran and USA and Israel, an airstrike hit a primary school in Minab in the south of the country, killing 156 people - including 120 children.

Critics are concerned about the risks it poses in an unstable region. We'll speak to a nuclear expert. And Why the Flamingo revolution in Albania is still taking people to the streets.
