Two New Zealanders - who spent months detained by Iranian authorities - are finally free.
Christopher Richwhite and Bridget Thackwray disappeared after entering the conservative country in July.

Listen to Kate's World News package above for an interview with Alireza Mohebbi and a breakdown of the final moments before Richwhite and Thackwray were detained.
