Trump says he’ll decide whether to strike Iran within two weeks

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

US President Trump will make a decision on whether to join Israeli strikes against Iran in the next two weeks, according to the White House Press Secretary. Karoline Leavitt cites a “substantial chance of negotiations” over Iran’s nuclear programme. We speak to former US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and examine the legality of British involvement. MPs are preparing to vote in the third reading of a Bill to legalise assisted dying in England and Wales, we speak to two on either side of the debate. And as Britain’s milliners show off their creations at the Royal Ascot event, we ask whether the hat industry is in danger of losing its traditional skills.
