Are Reform Losing Steam?

What's Really Going On Inside Iran?

For those who oppose the Islamic Republic of Iran, the knock on the door can come at any moment. Some sleep with makeshift weapons by their bed. Or try to sleep, as each night flag-waving goons patrol the streets and blast pro-regime slogans through their windows. By morning, they wake to the latest disaster. Another early hours arrest. Another execution. Another family ripped apart. Over the past few weeks, Chief Foreign Correspondent Andrew Jehring and Middle East Correspondent Natalie Lisbona have been speaking directly with Iranians to find out what's really happening inside the country. In this special episode of Deep Dive, they share what they've heard and ask: as the rage of its own people reaches boiling point, can the Ayatollah's regime survive?

Farage's 'Furious' Gamble: Will the Clacton By-Election Backfire?

Nigel Farage has resigned as MP for Clacton and triggered a by-election in his own constituency; a dramatic gamble designed to get ahead of a parliamentary standards inquiry into his failure to declare a £5 million personal gift from a crypto billionaire and the undisclosed use of a townhouse near Buckingham Palace rented by close ally, and convicted felon, George Cottrell. The Reform leader says he's the target of a hostile establishment trying to destroy him; his critics call it a desperate stunt. On this week's episode of Deep Dive, the Mail's Robert Hardman sat down with political editor James Tapsfield to unpack the donations row, the case for and against Farage's anti-establishment brand, and whether his gamble will pay of - or simply hand Count Binface his greatest moment.

Beckham vs Beckham: The Next Chapter

David Beckham was handed a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this month, flanked by Victoria, Tom Cruise and three of his four children. The fourth, Brooklyn, was nowhere to be seen. Six months on from the explosive Instagram statement that tore the lid off the family's private war, the rift is only getting messier, with a "choreographed" doorstep visit from sister Harper and a reported £750,000 DoorDash advert that pokes fun at Brooklyn's own estrangement. Daily Mail Showbusiness Editor Katie Hind joins Jamie East on Deep Dive to unpack the latest chapter in Britain's unofficial Royal Family saga and ask where it goes from here.

Iran's Exiled Crown Prince: The Iranian People Feel Betrayed by Trump's Deal

After American and Israeli airstrikes killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in February, many wondered whether Iran's theocratic regime was finally facing collapse. That came after tens of thousands of protesters had died earlier in the year rising up against the regime. But four months later, the US has signed an interim peace deal extending the ceasefire between the two countries. That deal has drawn criticism from Donald Trump's Republican Party and Reza Pahlavi - the son of the last Shah who the ayatollahs deposed in order to take power, forcing him into exile for the last 46 years. In this episode, the Mail's Middle East correspondent Natalie Lisbona sits down with Mr. Pahlavi to discuss what the deal means for ordinary Iranians. Pahlavi argues the regime cannot be reformed, only replaced, and warns that rewarding it with sanctions relief and billions in unfrozen funds provides a financial lifeline that will simply fuel its proxies abroad while executions and repression continue at home.
