Newsday

Available for 29 days

The United States has carried out new strikes inside Iran, targeting a military facility and downing Iranian attack drones. Within hours of these strikes Iranian state media reported that the Revolutionary Guards had retaliated by targetting an American base in Kuwait. We look at the effect this is having on a fragile ceasefire. We also turn to Lebanon where Israel has told people living in south of the country to head north. It's declared around an eight of the country a combat zone. And we speak to a Ghanaian official about the country's recent repatriation of citizens from South Africa. Presenters: James Copnall and Anne Soy. (Photo: US President Donald Trump speaks during a Cabinet meeting in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington. Credit: Samuel Corum/EPA).
