US-Iran tensions escalate amid tanker attack
News and issues making the headlines each day.
The United States has released a video which it says supports its belief that Iran was to blame for the attacks on two tankers in the Gulf of Oman on Thursday.
The video shows what the US says is an Iranian Revolutionary Guards patrol boat pulling along one of the stricken ships and removing what is believed to be an unexploded limpet mine.
Also on the programme: We hear from eyewitnesses in Sudan about sexual crimes that have been committed; and music from an artist who's performing at the Falmouth Sea Shanty festival.
