Pakistan vows to respond after Indian air strikes

Pakistan says it will respond "at the time and place of its choosing" after India launched strikes against militants in Pakistani territory.

Pakistan says it will respond "at the time and place of its choosing" after India launched strikes against militants in Pakistani territory. So what next in this standoff between two nuclear-armed nations? We ask Mehmal Sarfaz a journalist based in Lahore. If her Brexit deal is rejected by MPs, UK prime minister May has offered a range of scenarios. A vote would be held to possibly rule out a no-deal Brexit, and if that passes, another on a potential delay to the process. Roger Bootle from Capital Economics assesses the changing Brexit picture, and we get an alternative view from Clemens Fuest, president of the IFO Institute for Economic Research at the University of Munich. We hear from Richard Riakporhe, the British boxer stabbed as a school boy, now telling kids not to carry knives. Plus as more and more companies offer monthly deliveries of consumables like beauty or shaving products, we ask whether the world has reached peak subscription box.
