Israel says it is carrying out a fresh wave of strikes in Iran. Earlier it said it had carried out attacks on Iran's "leadership compound". Meanwhile the United States says it's struck nearly two thousand targets in Iran and has sunk much of the Iranian navy. President Trump told reporters at the White House that "everything's been knocked out in Iran". We get a reaction to what's going on in Iran from its diaspora. Some opposed to the current regime in Iran advocate for the return of the son of the last Shah, Reza Pahlavi. We speak to one of his advisers. And we continue to monitor the effect this conflict is having on the stock markets and Asian stock markets are seeing dramatic falls. South Korea is having an especially tough time. Its Kospi exchange briefly halted trading after stocks fell by more than eight per cent. Presenters: James Copnall and Anne Soy.
