Gulf nations meet to discuss Iran
Saudi Arabia convenes an emergency meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council in Mecca.
Two back to back summits are taking place over the next two days in Saudi Arabia. The Gulf Co-operation Council and the Arab League are both meeting up in Mecca, and the activities and influence of Iran is the major topic of discussion. We hear from a senior Saudi diplomat.
Also on the programme, with Benjamin Netanyahu dissolving the Knesset and calling a new election in Israel after failing to form a government, we ask what this means for the US's peace plan for the region? And finally we meet the doctor who delivered the world's smallest ever premature baby, who went on to live. "Saybie" who was safely discharged from hospital yesterday, was the size of a large apple when she was born.
