Iran claims attack on Israeli spy base in Kurdistan
Kurdish politicians deny Iran's claim that it targeted an Israeli spy headquarters.
Iraq has vowed to take Iran to the UN security council after the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed they had attacked an Israeli “espionage headquarters” in Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region. We hear from a senior adviser to the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government, in Iraq.
Also on the programme: We hear fond memories from the brother of the Gaza Strip's women's karate champion Nagham Abu Samrah who was injured in an Israeli air raid in December and did not recover from her injuries; and Donald Trump's path to seizing the Republican presidential nomination.
