Trump tells Iranian diplomats to defect
President Trump tells Iranian officials to leave their posts and apply for asylum.
President Trump has just urged Iranian diplomats to apply for asylum as he set out the scale of damage inflicted on Iran's military. A former Pentagon analyst joins us to assess America's objectives. We also hear from Iran’s teachers’ union about the strikes in the south of the country that killed over 100 children.
Also on the programme, we hear from a British national stranded with her family in Qatar after her flight transfer was interrupted by Iranian missile attacks.
And why bad vibes could disrupt the first F1 Grand Prix of the year.
