US demands Iran's 'unconditional surrender'

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The US has said only Iran's unconditional surrender will end American and Israeli bombardment. President Trump has warned the war could last four to six weeks. We hear from people on the ground in Tehran and assess the conflict one week on with Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet. Also on the programme, the opening of the Paralympics sees Russia return from sporting exile. And the story of a 19th century lesbian landowner brought to life by the Northern Ballet.
