[0:02] Tonight, another day of defiance in Iran
[0:05] as hundreds take to the streets in
[0:07] protest.
[0:10] But the government vows to stop them and
[0:13] does.
[0:16] I'm Katie Couric. Also tonight, a new
[0:18] icon of the Iranian opposition.
[0:22] Images of a woman named Neda, a martyr
[0:25] for the cause, spread round the world.
[0:28] Patients left in the dark, doctors all
[0:31] too often failing to tell them when
[0:33] their medical tests come back abnormal.
[0:36] And a portrait of the artist who's

[0:41] >> I really like this picture.

[1:19] election, and for the first time Iran's
[1:21] electoral council is admitting there
[1:23] were some voting irregularities, but
[1:25] says there were not enough to change the
[1:27] outcome. Meanwhile, the White House says
[1:29] President Obama was moved by the
[1:31] protesters and still has questions about
[1:33] the election. The latest now from
[1:35] Elizabeth Palmer in Tehran.
[1:40] >> About a thousand young people tried to
[1:42] rally in central Tehran today.
[1:48] But as in the past few days, huge
[1:50] numbers of police and paramilitaries
[1:52] wouldn't let them march.
