What is the mood in Iran's capital? Are people still protesting in the streets? What is the regime saying about what happened?

Richard Engel is in Tehran for NBC News and tells Yalda what he is seeing and what officials are telling him.

Because of the internet issues in Iran, Richard's connection dropped off halfway through. Yalda then speaks about her exclusive interview with FIFA boss Gianni Infantino.

When asked whether FIFA should lift its ban on Russia, he said it had "not achieved anything". He also explains why he stands by his decision to give President Trump the FIFA Peace Prize.
