Newshour

Available for 29 days

Iran says the intelligence chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Majid Khademi, was killed in a strike on Monday morning; Israel later claimed responsibility for the attack. As US-Israeli strikes on Iran continue, Iranian people tell the BBC that they're afraid of the latest ultimatum from President Trump. Also in the programme: NASA's Artemis II mission has now entered the lunar "sphere of influence"; how Northern Ireland has become a world leader in support for mothers who've miscarried; and the icy world of curling hits a hot streak as it starts a professional league.
