World at One

Available for 29 days

Defence Minister Israel Katz says Ali Larijani has been killed, along with Basij militia force commander Gholamreza Soleimani. We'll ask where this development leaves Iran's capacity to continue fighting the war. Plus: as economic shocks continue to be felt worldwide, we'll speak live to the owner of a Teesside chemical plant who is warning that it will have to close if energy prices don't fall.
