Today on the world, concern over the fate of political prisoners in Venezuela.

The international order didn't protect me and hundreds of Venezuelas that were in prison and torture.

I'm Carolyn Beeler.

And I'm Marco Wurman. Venezuelan speak out.

Also on the show, as if Gaza didn't have enough to deal with, the weather is making a bad situation worse.

Everyone in Gaza is overwhelmed.

The needs remain so great, and the supplies are still far too few.

Plus, how we search for a Moroccan wedding song turned one bride

into the musician she couldn't find. And when you pay attention to the sky, it's just, it opens up

for you and there's just lots of things to see. A 26 stargazing forecast. And much more all today

here on the world.

This is the world. I'm Marco Wurman. And I'm Carolyn Beeler. Thank you for joining us today.

Iranians across the globe are watching the news from Tehran, where protests have drawn a harsh

government response. Images from a medical examiner's

office on state TV show body bags piling up. When I see these videos coming out, there is a very

familiar feeling of grief. That's Marjan Kamali, an Iranian novelist living in Massachusetts. She wrote

the Lion Women of Tehran. The grief and the hope are familiar for a reason. In the diaspora,

those of us who live outside of Iran, we've seen these scenes before and were always filled

with a mixture of admiration and fear.

Like so many others, she's been trying to reach loved ones in the middle of a communications blackout,

keeping those outside the country in the dark.

It's very, very scary to message them to see nothing go through.
