Tehran at night - Burning trash cans, protesters on streets as anti-govt rallies continue

"Protesters burned garbage containers in Tehran as anti-governnment demonstrations continued across the country.  Footage filmed on Friday, January 9, and Saturday, January 10, shows burning garbage containers placed in the middle of streets, blocking traffic, as protesters can be seen lining the streets while security forces move around on motorcycles.   The rallies come as several Iranian cities continue to see unrest, with protests in some areas escalating into riots and vandalism targeting public property. Tehran’s police chief said on Tuesday that security forces dealt with rioters 'firmly and decisively', confirming the arrest of 'a large number' after they were separated from peaceful protesters.

Footage captured in Shanglin on Friday shows bees and butterflies moving among the flowers, while visitors walk through the field and take photos. "I think this sea of flowers is very beautiful and feels very close to nature. This natural scenery brings me a different feeling. I am breathing in the fresh air here," a tourist said. "My aunt and I came here today to take photos. I feel very happy when I see this flower sea. I think Shanglin is getting better and more beautiful now, and we all feel so happy," added a second. Rapeseed in Nanning typically blooms earlier than in more famous areas such as Luoping, where the peak occurs between late February and March. The fields are planted under a 'rice-rape rotation' model, combining agriculture and tourism to maximise land use. Officials reported that the rapeseed bloom supports rural tourism, with tens of thousands of visitors expected over the next two weeks. It comes as Guangxi has actively promoted rural tourism in recent years in a surge that saw nearly one billion domestic tourists in 2024 alone, generating over 1 trillion yuan (~$140 bn) in revenue."
