US claims video implicates Iran in Gulf attack
The US military releases a video it claims shows Iran removing a mine from an oil tanker
The US military releases a video it claims shows Iran's Revolutionary Guards removing a mine from one of the oil tankers attacked yesterday. But is it conclusive proof of Tehran's culpability?
Also in the programme: As Sudan’s Transitional Military Council now admits it ordered the break-up of a pro-democracy camp in Khartoum last week, we speak to the British ambassador about being summoned by the Sudanese authorities, and whether the opposition "behave like kids" as a senior member of the Sudanese military claims. And thousands of Swiss women are protesting - by withholding their labour - against what they say are Switzerland's antiquated laws on, and attitudes towards sex equality.
