Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The United States said it launched attacks on 85 targets in Iraq and Syria in response to a drone strike Sunday by Iran-backed militants on a US military outpost in Jordan. The US defence secretary says US strikes in Iraq and Syria are “the start of our response". Also, in the programme, we talk about new EU AI Act regulations and will find out how a raccoon plunges parts of Toronto into darkness.
