Iran has confirmed that its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, has been killed in an airstrike. We look back at his life and legacy. Also on the programme today: US and Israeli strikes continue on Iran as Tehran retaliates, striking US bases in the Gulf; and the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, has condemned both the US and Israeli strikes and Iran's retaliation. We bring you the latest from Jerusalem and the United Arab Emirates.
