War widens in the Middle East

World at One

Available for 24 days

Six days on, the war in the Middle East is still intense and it's still spreading. One well-known dissident inside Iran tells us he is not hopeful the campaign will result in regime change. We'll assess America's options - and the damage it could leave behind. Also on the programme, the Home Secretary sets out the Government's plan to cut migrant numbers. But how will Labour backbenchers respond? And in our weekly Figuring It Out discussion, Evan and Sarah assess the impact of the war on energy prices.
