Amid Iran’s internet blackout, it’s difficult to hear from eyewitnesses just what happened during the country’s brutal crackdown but @JomanaCNN manages to do just that in this extraordinary report.

@masoudkazemi81 Dear Masoud, I am very sorry for your loss. My name is Sarah Dean, I'm a journalist with CNN based in London. Please can I speak with you?

Bijan Mostafavi, his wife Zahra Bani-Amirian, and their son Danial Mostafavi, a 19-year-old student and part of our family friends, were targeted by government forces in Karaj on Friday, January 19, and all three were killed. They were all inside their personal car at the time, and their vehicle was raked with bullets. Their older son, Davood Mostafavi, was also in the car. He was shot and injured, but we don’t know the extent of his injuries. These are not just names or numbers. They were people we knew, with lives and families. I am heartbroken and furious.

@Pyro_Krystal Hello, I’m a journalist with CNN, are you at Gatwick airport now?

@British_Airways Gatwick picked up the slack, yet you have 0 customer support at the airport. Instead of being able to book a new flight free of charge me and my friend has to book pricey last minute flights with a different airline.

Access to Heathrow Airport is completely blocked as Europe’s busiest is closed after a power outage. I met some stranded passengers outside

@TayoOlutowoju @AirCanada Hi Tayo, I’m a journalist with CNN, are you at Gatwick airport now?

@AirCanada Hello. I am supposed to be on flight AC855 from London Heathrow to Toronto this morning. Unfortunately, my flight from Lagos was diverted to Gatwick Airport. What can I do to get a connecting flight from Gatwick to Toronto?

CNN EXCLUSIVE: President Paul Kagame says he doesn't know if there are Rwandan troops in eastern DRC supporting M23, but says Rwanda "would do anything to protect itself." He accused South Africa of sending troops there to secure minerals & dismissed any comparisons with Vladimir Putin

“I am about to dose her.” In an exclusive investigation, @SaskyaCNN lays out the shocking messages Dominique Pelicot and his fellow defendants sent before allegedly drugging and raping his then-wife Gisèle over years. This powerful report shows the impunity still at play online, and the fear many French women still feel.

Gaza is “a post-apocalyptic environment,” with “people just waiting to be killed, either by airstrike, by disease, or even by hunger,” says UNRWA chief Philippe @UNLazzarini. On the consequences of the Knesset vote to stop UNRWA’s operations, he warns “that means that the backbone of the humanitarian response in Gaza will collapse.” Watch my full conversation with UNRWA’s commissioner general about the humanitarian disaster in Gaza, Israel’s move to shut down the organization, allegations of links to Hamas, and more.

“He told me to take them. In the next attack, use them as a human shield.” An IDF soldier and five former Palestinian detainees tell CNN that the Israeli military has used civilians as human shields in Gaza, as @JDiamond1 reports.

People in Lebanon “feel now that nowhere in their country, in their city, is safe anymore,” reports @JomanaCNN in Beirut, as Israeli drones can be heard overhead. “This fear of the unknown, they described it, the fear of a repeat, they say, of what they have seen in Gaza.”
