In the program segments, we discuss news such as the passing of Stan Lee, the creator of Marvel characters like Spider-Man and Hulk, the re-broadcast of the series 'Forbidden', the long-awaited end of the screening of the film 'Hezarpa', a letter from a group of Iranian artists against new sanctions, the controversies surrounding the final match of the Asian Champions League in Tehran, the presence of female spectators at this match, and the enforcement of the law banning the employment of retirees in the Football Federation.
