Week one of US-Israel war with Iran

President Trump has demanded the unconditional surrender of Iran.

Israel and the United States have continued heavy bombing of Tehran and other Iranian cities. Israeli attacks on Lebanon have intensified too. We hear from residents in Tehran and Beirut. Our colleague from BBC Persian and our correspondent in Lebanon explain today's developments.

Our weapons expert breaks down the military capabilities of each side in the war.

We preview the new F1 season and discuss the call by Lewis Hamilton for the sport to expand into Africa.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
