Blunt response by some Nato members to Trump's call for help

Available for 8 days

Germany says the war against Iran has nothing to do with Nato and it won't join any effort to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to oil shipments, despite pressure from President Trump. Britain says it's working with allies on a plan to restore freedom of navigation but won't be drawn into the wider conflict. We speak to our UK correspondent and journalists in Germany and France. Our correspondents in Jerusalem, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia give the latest on the situation on the ground. We hear from female cinematographers about their work, following Autumn Durald Arkapaw’s win as the first woman to receive the Oscar for best cinematography. Presenter: Rahul Tandon.
