Genoa bridge reopens

ѿý OS gives a vibrant account of the day’s events with explanation and reaction from those involved.

The Italian city of Genoa unveils the new Genoa San Giorgio Bridge that replaces the Morandi Bridge that collapsed in 2018, killing 43 people. We speak to relatives of those killed - some of whom have criticised the “celebration” surrounding the inauguration of the new bridge.

And an investigation by the ѿý's Persian Service has discovered that the number of deaths from coronavirus in Iran is nearly triple what Iran's government claims. We speak to one of the reporters behind the investigation.

Also we hear from people in the state of Victoria in Australia, which is facing tough new lockdown restrictions following a surge in coronavirus cases.
