the us central bank the federal reserve reviews interest rates as investors cast doubt over an imminent rate cut. there are two women in iran whose names became synonymous with the fight for womens freedom. one of them is mahsa amini who died from her injuries sustained in police custody. the other is nika shakarami. a 16—year—old girl who disappeared just days after mahsa amini's death became public. shortly after leaving a protest on the 20th september she called a friend to say she was being chased by security forces. nine days later her body was dumped in a quiet tehran street. the authorities denied involvement in her death, claiming she took her own life. but a classified report seen by the bbc reveals the teenager was beaten to death by the agents who detained her. reha kansara from bbc eye investigations has this report.
9:33 pm
and a warning, you may find the details distressing. according to the document, nika was hunted down and arrested by team 12, one of many undercover units at the protest. she was put in the back of their vehicle, an unmarked freezer truck, with her hands bound. the report includes the direct testimony of team 12 explaining what happened next. arash gagged her mouth with his socks. i saw sadegh was sitting on her with his hands in her pants. she kicked at out of my face, so i had to defend myself. i i could hear the sound of the baton hitting her. is she breathing? i think he was behrooz who answered, "no, she's dead." we cross—checked the documents contents with geolocated videos from the protest, nika's death certificate and her mother's testimony.

translation: her face - and cheekbones were broken. her teeth were knocked out and the back of her head had been hit so hard it caved in. that's what killed her — the damage to her head was not a side issue. we also showed the document to multiple experts and overall, despite a few inconsistencies, they said it looks genuine. one expert agreed to test the reports id number with his own sources inside the irgc. translation: this report is a small part of a 322 page case file. - the report number is from a judicial investigation about the rioters in 2022. they confirm this. is there anyway that document could be a fake? no, it's nothing. it's original, and we accept that. the document also reveals

the hearings conclusion that sexual assault caused the fight in the rear compartment and that strikes from team 12 caused the death of nika shakarami. none of team 12 received any punishment for her death. we put our allegations to the irgc and the government of iran. they did not respond. reha kansara, bbc news. a really important report. i hope you will go and a really important report. i hope you will go and read a really important report. i hope you will go and read it on a really important report. i hope you will go and read it on the a really important report. i hope you will go and read it on the bbc news website. the detail is extraordinary that these men follow orders for the rude zealots in iran think that they can treat a 16—year—old girl in that way and it is ok. it 16-year-old girl in that way and it is ok. , , , ., ., is ok. it is disgusting. i want to praise the _ is ok. it is disgusting. i want to praise the bbc _ is ok. it is disgusting. i want to praise the bbc for _ is ok. it is disgusting. i want to praise the bbc for their - is ok. it is disgusting. i want to praise the bbc for their dogged | praise the bbc for their dogged reporting on this because as you mentioned, it is extremely important, extremely difficult to read because it is horrendous. essentially a young woman who's

9:46 pm
abortion will take effect tomorrow, wednesday. it will essentially outlaw, in theory, it will outlaw abortion in the state of florida. there have been reports of abortion clinics in the state scrambling over the last week or so trying to make sure that they can squeeze in patients who need reproductive health assistance, reproductive health assistance, reproductive health care, and trying to mix sure they get seen before essentially it becomes outlawed. women in florida will essentially have no recourse to be able to get an abortion in the state. they will have to try and go elsewhere, to other states, incurring a financial burden. one thing tied in with this as well is that it thing tied in with this as well is thatitis thing tied in with this as well is that it is going to be on the ballot in november. so while this is seemingly outlawed in florida as of tomorrow, voters in florida will get a chance to repeal, rescind this, because abortion as an issue will be
9:47 pm
on the ballot for them and november. they will be able to make up their minds and of course, this is good news for the biden administration because it was a very abortion, abortion is a very effective, galvanising, get out the vote for them in the midterms of all, of course it is appalling that there are going to be restrictions for women on this necessary health care in the state of florida. that's what people would argue who are pro—choice. they will have an opportunity to be able to put abortion on the ballot. the biden administration _ abortion on the ballot. the biden administration have _ abortion on the ballot. the biden administration have made - abortion on the ballot. the biden administration have made with l abortion on the ballot. the biden l administration have made with this already with a particular focus on arizona and important swing state, and a court decision which returned the state to a civil war era policy on abortion. so individually there are states who are obviously putting in place and very strict guidelines now on abortion. the interesting thing about the politics here is thatjust thing about the politics here is that just last week, thing about the politics here is thatjust last week, ron desantis,
9:48 pm
