Ship attacks in Gulf intensify

Available for 29 days

Iranian attacks on ships intensify after major countries agree to tap unprecedented emergency reserves to cusion the blow of war. We look at how these attacks are affecting traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and what this is doing to oil prices. The United Nations Security Council has backed a motion put forward by Gulf nations condemning Iranian missile attacks in the region. We get a reaction to the motion from Tehran. We look at how the war has spread to Lebanon and the continuing Israeli attacks on Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. And our America Editor reports on what sort of impact the conflict is having politically as President Trump has been speaking to supporters in Kentucky and Ohio. Many remain skeptical about foreign wars and fearful of its effect on their cost of living. Presenters: Rob Young and Anne Soy.
