 |  | NEXT PANORAMA - "THE DEATH OF KISS AND TELL" - MONDAY 8.30PM ON BBC ONE
Hello there,
Iranians have been voting in record numbers in the presidential elections today, and polling has been extended by two hours to 2000 local time (1530GMT).
The results will be published on the BBC News website.
On last week's Panorama, Jane Corbin went to Iran to report on the signs that a possible shift in attitude is taking place amongst the people of Iran.
If you missed Monday's programme, "Obama and the Ayatollah", you can watch it on the Panorama website.
You can also send in your comments about the election results here.
JAILED FOR A KNIFE
Three men have been found guilty of the murder of Ben Kinsella, the 16-year-old who was stabbed to death just under a year ago. You can read the full news story on the BBC News website.
Ben's killing was due to the culture of young people ensuring they were "respected," the trial heard. It followed a number of high-profile killings last summer, including Rob Knox and Jimmy Mizen and led to renewed calls to stop knife crime.
The verdict comes as knife crime continues to take a toll on young people caught up in a culture of violence. You can see the extent of Britain's deadly knife crime in this timeline on the BBC News website.
Back in January this year, Panorama asked the question, why are so many of Britain's youth arming themselves with knives? And why do some kill?
Reporter Raphael Rowe gained rare access to jails to interview those responsible - the young offenders convicted of carrying, using or even killing with a knife. The programme provides a thoughtful and sobering insight into the lives and minds of those at the centre of a highly-charged national debate.
Watch Jailed for a Knife on the Panorama website.
OMAGH ANALYSIS
A judge has found Real IRA leader Michael McKevitt responsible for the 1998 Omagh bombing which killed 29 people and injured 200.
Mr Justice Morgan made the ruling at the High Court in Belfast after a landmark civil action case brought by some of the families of the victims.
Liam Campbell, Colm Murphy and Seamus Daly were also found liable for the attack while Seamus McKenna was cleared. The relatives have been awarded more than £1.6m in damages.
In September 2008, seven years after his award-winning programme Who Bombed Omagh? Panorama reporter John Ware revisited the subject in Omagh: What the Police Were Never Told. You can watch the programme on the Panorama website.
John has also written an analysis of Monday's judgement for the BBC News website.
BACK IN THE NEWS
The MMR debate is back in the news, with calls growing for compulsory MMR vaccinations for children attending school and nursery.
Last Tuesday, the Welsh health minister Edwina Hart said she was exploring options for compulsory vaccination in response to the largest measles outbreak in Wales in the last 20 years. And on Thursday, the public health expert Sir Sandy Macara gave his backing to compulsory vaccines.
Uptake of the MMR vaccine fell sharply after controversial research wrongly linked it to a raised risk of autism.
Back in 2002, award-winning Panorama reporter Sarah Barclay sorted the fact from the fiction about the triple jab and asked what the Government should do to avert a measles epidemic in MMR: Every Parent's Choice.
You can read more about the programme on the Panorama website.
COMING UP
On Monday's programme, Clive Coleman looks at how celebrities are using privacy laws to keep themselves out of the papers, a development that some argue could compromise press freedom in Britain.
Panorama asks, what do you, the public, have a right to know?
You can find out more about it on the Panorama website where you will be able to watch extended interviews with Pete Doherty, Ian Hislop, Max Mosley and Barbara Windsor.
We also have animated 'editor's quiz' to put your judgment to the test.
Watch The Death of Kiss and Tell, on BBC One, Monday 15 June at 8.30pm.
That's all for this week but you can keep up to date with Panorama on our website.
