Richard Ratcliffe on 18th day of his hunger strike
The husband of Iranian detainee Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is on the 18th day of his hunger strike outside the Foreign Office.
Richard Ratcliffe, began protesting to put pressure on Boris Johnson to meet Iranian delegates at COP 26 to demand freedom for Britons detained in Iran.
Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a British-Iranian dual national, has been in custody in Iran since 2016 after being accused of plotting to overthrow the government, which she has consistently denied.
The Foreign Office said: "We are doing all we can to help Nazanin get home."
Kirsty Wark is joined by Richard Ratcliffe and his local MP Tulip Siddiq.
