Outside Source

Available for 26 days

Two nuclear-related facilities have been attacked in Iran, but there has been no release of radioactive material, Iranian state media says. The US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Washington expects to finish operations in Iran in the next couple of weeks. Opinion polls in the US show that Americans don't like the conflict. Our North America correspondent has been gauging the mood among Republicans in Texas. US officials say the personal email account of the FBI chief, Kash Patel, has been compromised. Our cyber correspondent explains. We speak to experts and parents about the government guidance in England, which recommends limiting screen time to one hour a day for children under five, while advising that under-twos should not watch screens alone. Presenter: Rob Young.
