About the episode

The Iranian women's soccer team faces potential danger upon returning home after refusing to sing their national anthem during a match on the Gold Coast. Protesters surrounded their bus at Robina stadium, with some alleging the players made international distress signals. Amnesty International and advocacy groups are calling on the Australian government to provide asylum, citing fears the women could face imprisonment or death if they return to Iran.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
