The burst of light, spotted in 2022, is now known to have had an exploding star at its heart. President biden has given iran a stark message after us officials warned that tehran could launch a major attack on israel and that it could happen soon. These warnings follow an air strike in syria last week on an iranian diplomatic compound in damascus, that killed several military advisers, including a top general. Us officials have told cbs news an attack could involve more than 100 drones and dozens of missiles. Washington has said its taking the threat of an iranian attack listen to this exchange between the american president and reporters that took place a short time ago. Mr president , what is your message to iran in at this moment . Dont. Are american troops at risk as well, mr president . We are devoted to the defence of israel, we will support israel, we will help defend israel and iran will not succeed. Thank you very much. Earlier, us defence spokesperson john kirby was talking about the timing of the threat. Were watching this very, very closely. We still deemed the potential threat by iran here to be real, to be viable, certainly credible. And were watching it as closely as we can. Right now, our focus is on having conversations with our israeli counterparts and making sure not just conversations but making sure that they have what they need and that theyre able to defend themselves. And as i think, you know, were also clearly it would be imprudent if we didnt take a look at our own posture in the region to make sure that were properly prepared as well. Meanwhile, the iranian backed Hezbollah Group in Southern Lebanon has said it has fired dozens of rockets at Artillery Positions in northern israel. It said the move was in response to previous israeli strikes in southern villages. The Israeli Military said it had identified a0 launches, some of which were intercepted. Our Diplomatic CorrespondentJames Landale says officials live now to ali vaez, crisis groups iran Project Director and Senior Adviser to the president. Hello to you. Great to be with you. Just a quick hello to you. Great to be with you. Just a quick note hello to you. Great to be with you. Just a quick note on hello to you. Great to be with you. Just a quick note on those just a quick note on those attacks from hezbollah that weve been hearing about in the last few hours, a lot of commentators saying this is pretty much in keeping with what theyve been doing on a near daily basis over the last few they� ve been doing on a near daily basis over the last few months theyve been doing on a near daily basis over the last few months is that what you would see, rather than some Stomach Retaliation by proxy from iran . ~ ,. , � ~ from iran . Absolutely, i dont think iran wants to from iran . Absolutely, i dont think iran wants to sacrifice from iran . Absolutely, i dont think iran wants to sacrifice hezbollah. From iran . Absolutely, i dont think iran wants to sacrifice hezbollah or| iran wants to sacrifice hezbollah or bring hezbollah into the fray at the stage. Hezbollah is really the tip of the spear and iran will preserve it for the defence of its own land as a last resort, i doubt hezbollah would get involved at this stage. Where do you think this is going, whats your assessment of what iran will be considering right now . Look. Will be considering right now . Look, the reality is will be considering right now . Look, the reality is that will be considering right now . Look, the reality is that there will be considering right now . Look, the reality is that there are will be considering right now . Look, the reality is that there are no the reality is that there are no real good options for iran, every option is fraught with risks. At this stage, the problem iranian as i haveis this stage, the problem iranian as i have is that they have to respond in a way that is not too little, because in that scenario they would because in that scenario they would be unable to save face either at home with their own core constituents, or their allies in the region. But the response can also not be too much because in that case, they might lose their head and they might end up in a direct Military Confrontation with much more powerful israeli and or us militaries. So its a very difficult operation for them to calibrate, and it does appear that iran prefers to respond directly against an israeli asset. I respond directly against an israeli asset. , ,. , asset. I suppose the Question Will be, what will asset. I suppose the Question Will be, what will israel asset. I suppose the Question Will be, what will israel do asset. I suppose the Question Will be, what will israel do in asset. I suppose the Question Will| be, what will israel do in response to that . What do you think israels aim was in the first place in launching this attack in syria on the consulate in damascus . Look, israel has been the consulate in damascus . Look, israel has been systematically israel has been systematically trying to prevent iran from defeating its Military Foothold in syria, its a campaign thats called the war between wars it started when the Syrian Civil War started and iran started sending more Military Assets and deploying personnel, and military advisers to syria. But the reality is in the past few months, israel has been much more targeting senior commanders of iran, around 18 Ir Cg Personnel and commanders have been killed. And for iran, the problem is targeting an iranian consulate basically means that there is no safe havens for iran to operate in in syria, and irans militaries presence there will become unsustainable. This is a Military Residence for which iran has paid a very high price in blood and repetition, and its regional deterrence would be disastrous for iran if it doesnt respond to israel. But again, the problem is if it responds in a way that elicits an israeli Counter Strike on iranian soil, then we will end up in a regional confrontation that would be disastrous. 50 regional confrontation that would be disastrous. ,. , disastrous.

Weve heard from the us it wasnt told in advance about israels attack, i suppose thats a symptom of the relations and where they are at the moment. There is sure to be a lot of diplomatic efforts going on right now to try to stop things spreading to the region what do you think the reason wouldve been for these us officials talking to our cbs partner in the us aboutjust how big this attack could be in terms of them saying things it could be 100 drones why would they be doing that . I could be 100 drones why would they be doing that . Be doing that . I think the us is t in to be doing that . I think the us is trying to signal be doing that .

I think the us is trying to signal to iran that it i trying to signal to iran that it should not miscalculate and believe it this moment, the relations between the netanyahu government and the Biden Administration are strained, that the us will not have the back of israel. And it is important for the iranians to understand that because that would then help them further measure what they are going to do and what the consequences of their actions would be. My own guess is that, because weve seen a similar scenario in 2020 when the us killed general silly money and iran conducted a Spectacular Rack Tobacco Attack in iraq on us bases that thankfully didnt result in any casualties and the tit for tat remained limited in scope and time, thats the kind of response that iran is trying to get, and in order to ensure iran doesnt miscalculate, the us is signalling both its support for israel and its full knowledge of what iran is doing.

Thank you so much for talking to us, thank you. Doing. Thank you so much for talking to us, thank you. My doing. Thank you so much for talking to us, thank you. My pleasure. Lets bring on my panel. Im joined by andrew fisher, former director of policy for the labour party and former gop strategist, rina shah. Ifi if i can start with you first, what do you think of what he was just saying in terms of what america is trying to do right now to really stop irans reaction being too big . Well, im certainly struck by this moment, as are Many Americans but folks in the National Security community, ifeel very folks in the National Security community, i feel very safe to say, are seeing more of the same from their commander in chief. Joe biden has been accused of taking a Drip Drop Approach to a lot of the geopolitical tension that weve got our hands in from here in these United States. So in this moment, i think its safe to say that his approach is safe its acknowledging, yes, we see you iran for we know you are still a threat and want to engage us, vis a vis israel. But again, what you seeing biden do is nothing new, this is a continuation of the playbook of saying, we will have israels back no matter what. So right now, what we are seeing is iran trying to push its limits with us, but the question really remains, will change his response . And we just dont know right now, its looking very steady and, as expected right now, which doesnt give me great hope for the future. � , ,. , future. Thats the issue with iran, but in terms future. Thats the issue with iran, but in terms of future. Thats the issue with iran, but in terms of the future. Thats the issue with iran, but in terms of the relationship. But in terms of the relationship between the us and israel, as i was saying, they werent alerted to this attack in advance, but we know things have been really strained recently what does biden need to do to show that he has got control . Right now, thats almost a question does your right now, thats almost a question does your here in washington, dc, what does your here in washington, dc, what can does your here in washington, dc, what can biden do does your here in washington, dc, what can biden does your here in washington, dc, what can biden do to win the upper hand back . What can biden do to win the upper hand back . It what can biden do to win the upper hand back . It feels what can biden do to win the upper hand back . It feels like what can biden do to win the upper hand back . It feels like even hand back . It feels like even netanyahu has it, and hes almost flaunting in the face of americans that he can do whatever he wants without biden really coming down on him and continuing to, again, propagate that line that we will have israels back no matter what. You have people pushing the limits here with these United States and seeing just what biden will do. And i think they know that hes not a mad man, hes not somebody thats predisposed to erratic action, so hell continue to be steady and keep his hands steady here at the wheel but this is a moment in which i dont think anything is changing anytime soon, especially not with this relationship between netanyahu and biden. Ijust dont see what can change things or the calculus for how also israel will change its actions towards gaza as well, which is what a lot of americans want to. Andrew, to you, i see also today weve had the uk reaffirming its support for israel, countries are keen to stress that in terms of this iranian threat. Where do you see the uks iranian threat. Where do you see the uks role in this, in terms of showing the pressure it might be putting on in terms of israel and what it can do diplomatically, in terms of the contagion, the spread of this conflict in the region that would be disastrous, as my former guest was saying. It that would be disastrous, as my former guest was saying. It would be, i think former guest was saying. It would be, i think both former guest was saying. It would be, i think both the former guest was saying. It would be, | think both the us former guest was saying. It would be, | think both the us and uk former guest was saying. It would | be, i think both the us and uk are looking be, i think both the us and uk are looking extremely weak and netanyahu is taking looking extremely weak and netanyahu is taking full advantage of that. We saw the is taking full advantage of that. We saw the pantomime, which i think was primarily saw the pantomime, which i think was primarily for saw the pantomime, which i think was primarily for domestic audiences in the us primarily for domestic audiences in the us and primarily for domestic audiences in the us and uk of the Security Council the us and uk of the Security CouncilMotion Calling for an immediate cease fire, Which Britain voted immediate cease fire, Which Britain voted for. Immediate cease fire, Which Britain voted for, the us didnt use its veto voted for, the us didnt use its veto in voted for, the us didnt use its veto in a voted for, the us didnt use its veto in a very rare occasion, allowing veto in a very rare occasion, allowing the motion to pass. Since then. Allowing the motion to pass. Since then, both allowing the motion to pass. Since then, both the us and uk have affirmed then, both the us and uk have affirmed they fully back israel and are still affirmed they fully back israel and are still sending weapons. So theres are still sending weapons. So theres not any real genuine commitment to a cease fire because if you commitment to a cease fire because if you genuinely want one, you dont keep arming one of the parties. And when keep arming one of the parties. And when it keep arming one of the parties. And when it comes to iran, look, i detest when it comes to iran, look, i detest the when it comes to iran, look, i detest the iranian regime, as i suspect detest the iranian regime, as i suspect most people do but Israel Attacked suspect most people do but Israel Attacked an suspect most people do but Israel Attacked an iranian consulate in another attacked an iranian consulate in another country, in syria, and we were another country, in syria, and we were just another country, in syria, and we were just talking about the right of israel were just talking about the right of israel to were just talking about the right of israel to defend itself surely that applies to iran as well. We are in a very that applies to iran as well. We are in a very dangerous moment here where in a very dangerous moment here where we in a very dangerous moment here where we can see escalation, we see israel where we can see escalation, we see israel bombing and less benign lebanon. Israel bombing and less benign lebanon, theres been the houthis and shipping channels, so there is a real risk and shipping channels, so there is a real risk of and shipping channels, so there is a real risk of this getting out of control. At the moment it doesnt look like control. At the moment it doesnt look like any of the potential leaders look like any of the potential leaders of the free world, as they like to leaders of the free world, as they like to call leaders of the free world, as they like to call themselves, have any handle like to call themselves, have any handle on like to call themselves, have any handle on this or any idea on what to do. Handle on this or any idea on what to do. And handle on this or any idea on what to do. And i handle on this or any idea on what to do, and i suspect because both are up to do, and i suspect because both are up for to do, and i suspect because both are up for election later this year, they are are up for election later this year, they are very cautious of doing anything they are very cautious of doing anything too dramatic at this point that may anything too dramatic at this point that may alienate certain voters. But theres a very big risk that this gets but theres a very big risk that this gets out of control. And we talk about this gets out of control. And we talk about this pantomime at the top level of talk about this pantomime at the top level of great leaders and what they are doing. Level of great leaders and what they are doing, but 34,000 palestinians are doing, but 34,000 palestinians are dead are doing, but 34,000 palestinians are dead are doing, but 34,000 palestinians are dead where does this stop . We had another are dead where does this stop . We had another report today from cnn journalists, a direct attack on them from journalists, a direct attack on them from military, weve seen un officials from military, weve seen un officials being killed as well.

At what point do we say, this is too children. At what point do we say, this is too much . At the moment, the us this is too much . At the moment, the us and this is too much . At the moment, the us and the uk arent offering any solution to this at all, and its heartbreaking to watch. Thank ou ve its heartbreaking to watch. Thank you very much its heartbreaking to watch. Thank you very much for its heartbreaking to watch. Thank you very much for the its heartbreaking to watch. Thank you very much for the moment. Its heartbreaking to watch. Thank l you very much for the moment from both of you. Its been a dramtic day at the the Public Inquiry into the post Office Scandal which has been hearing from two of the most senior managers in charge at the time. The inquiry is looking into how the faulty it system known as horizon led to hundreds of people being wrongly convicted of theft and fraud. Alan cook, the former managing director of the post office, said at the time he did not know the company was bringing prosecutions against Sub Postmasters. I was unaware that the post office were the prosecuting authority, you see i knew there were court cases, but i didnt realise that the post office, in about two thirds of the cases, had initiated the prosecution, as opposed to, you know, the dpp or police, or whatever. Adam crozier was Chief Executive of royal mail, which at that time owned the post office, also said he did not know about what he called the Tragic Situation facing Sub Postmasters. Just listen to this exchange with kings counsel sam stein. It appears that nobody took responsibility for the prosecution of Sub Postmasters. Nobody took oversight, nobody at all, are you proud of that . No. How much were you paid in your time as chairman of rmg . I would need to look back, im sure its absolutely available in all of the annual reports. Its millions, isnt it, mr crozier . Yes, it probably is, yes. Andrew, what did you make of those two saying theyjust didnt know . Its astonishing that people who are the managing director and Chief Executive, both paid 6 7 figure salaries. Executive, both paid 6 7 figure salaries, dont know whats going on inside salaries, dont know whats going on inside their salaries, dont know whats going on inside their own organisation. They are either inside their own organisation. They are either incompetent or lying, and neither are either incompetent or lying, and neither reflects well on them. Its astonishing, people may not know but these astonishing, people may not know but these people went through the Sub Postmasters are the people who Ran Small Postmasters are the people who Ran Small Local postmasters are the people who Ran Small Local post offices, they went through small local post offices, they went through decades of trauma basically by being through decades of trauma basically by being accused of breaking the law, fiddling the books. Some were imprisoned, and for these people to say i imprisoned, and for these people to say i didnt imprisoned, and for these people to say i didnt understand what was going say i didnt understand what was going on. Say i didnt understand what was going on, even though they were the head of going on, even though they were the head of the going on, even though they were the head of the organisation, isjust appalling. Head of the organisation, isjust appalling, which ever way you look at it. Appalling, which ever way you look at it, whether you believe them or think at it, whether you believe them or think they at it, whether you believe them or think they must be lying, it really comes think they must be lying, it really comes across badly. I think what it tells people is the importance of having tells people is the importance of having a tells people is the importance of having a trade union as well, someone having a trade union as well, someone looking out for you in the workplace someone looking out for you in the workplace because its clear Time And Again workplace because its clear Time And Again that these bosses at the top are and again that these bosses at the top are just so far removed from the average top are just so far removed from the average worker who they supposedly represent. Average worker who they supposedly represent, you do need your own backup represent, you do need your own backup in represent, you do need your own back up in the workplace, so thats a key back up in the workplace, so thats a key Lesson Back Up in the workplace, so thats a key lesson is well. It backup in the workplace, so thats a key lesson is well. A key lesson is well. It ust shows that we fl a key lesson is well. It ust shows that we see these h a key lesson is well. Itjust shows that we see these inquiries a key lesson is well. Itjust shows that we see these inquiries all. A key lesson is well. Itjust shows| that we see these inquiries all the time, these investigations, and all the time we hear people saying it wasnt my responsibility i didnt know, then who did . Who will ever take responsibilities . And terms of accountability, it seems so hard to pin senior people down on anything. This seems really clear cut to me, the facts are there. When cook was in charge, it seems over the course of four years, there were hundreds of four years, there were hundreds of people prosecuted. This is not just a rare case where this was a dozen people wrongly prosecuted were talking about hundreds, so this is an honest situation where anyone was asleep at the wheel, these are bold faced lies, people who believed that they are in many ways what we call over on the side of the pond above the law, and they should not be touched because whatever they say it goes. I think whatever they say it goes. I think what i find most confusing in this case where, again, everything is clear cut and direct, is cook saying there wouldve been a higher bar for these prosecutions if there had been an outside body like the crown prosecution services, if those people had brought the case. I dont agree with that, i think this is all passing the buck and accountability should win out here, but its hard to tell how that happens when again, it seems that theres some bold faced lying happening here. Theyre saying they didnt know, and we will see what this Public Inquiry finds. Lets take a short break for now but stay with us and well be back shortly. Around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. Us Vice PresidentKamala Harris is heading to arizona, to highlight the issue of reproductive rights. It comes after the States Supreme Court recently reinstated a near total abortion ban from 1864. That makes performing an abortion punishable by 2 5 years in prison, except when the mothers life is at risk. Thats pushed the Abortion Issue to centre stage in a state that could be pivotal in deciding who wins novembers us president ial election. The Vice President is expected to deliver remarks slamming former President Donald Trump for his record on the issue. For his part, donald trump has said the arizona law goes too far, and called on the states lawmakers to change it. He said it would be Straightened Out without giving any further detail. His former Vice President , mike pence, has described those comments as a Slap In The Face to voters who oppose abortion. Lets speak to our panel on this. What is the republican strategy on abortion . �. What is the republican strategy on abortion . �. , what is the republican strategy on abortion . � ,. , abortion . Thats a very Loaded Question abortion . Thats a very Loaded Question. Its abortion . Thats a very Loaded Question. Its week abortion . Thats a very Loaded Question. Its week and abortion . Thats a very Loaded Question. Its week and predictable. Weve just seen the arizona Supreme Court act to uphold the civil war era statute which was before arizona even became a state, well before women even earned the right to vote which was in 1920. So this is a situation where republicans even writ large understand how problematic this is for truly essentially every woman not just problematic this is for truly essentially every woman notjust in arizona. Look, there are 1. 6 million arizona. Look, there are 1. 6 million arizona women of reproductive age between the ages of 15 49, of which some 38 are hispanic and 43 are white. Youve got a lot of new americans in that state who may not have voted before. Will this galvanise them to vote against republicans . We dont have great Empirical Evidence to show that, but again, donald trump saying whats happened in arizona is too extreme and saying something should be done about it shows that he is nervous because he knows everywhere that abortion has been on the ballot, which it will be in arizona by the way this fall, that is what will happen. There will be a constitutional challenge to what theyre Supreme Courtjustice cited, and the Question Will be kicked to the voters. Again, every time abortion ends up as a question on the ballots, we see people voting against republicans we saw that in ruby red kansas, in ohio, and florida recently we saw their Supreme Court uphold the States Legislature six week band. These are draconian bands that not even super Republican Voters want. So ill say this, i think the world is looking at the United States right now and how the issue of abortion is being played out from state to state with a legislatures taking very extreme bands, and i think the world is saying, what is going on in america . Because ill say this is a long time republican affiliated voter, im anti abortion for myself but pro choice for other women because we have Separation Of Church And State here, and i genuinely believe that women, when they do not have bodily autonomy, they are not free and equal citizens within our representative democracy. So we have to get this under control from the party set, but its hard to believe how that can be done when our Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that abortion is kicked back to the states, so its state by state for so long as we can for see.

Temperatures for some of us today got up into the high teens, the low 205 celsius particularly where we saw some sunshine but dont expect those warm conditions to last. Its actually going to turn cooler this weekend. Often windy, the wettest weather towards the north and the west of the uk. Today, weve had this feed of south or south westerly winds bringing this relatively warm air, but notice some colder air lurking out in the atlantic. That will head our way as westerly winds start to kick in through the weekend. Those westerly winds moving in behind various different frontal systems. Here comes one. Not much more than just a little bit of showery rain, certainly more cloud with that. Most places, i think, will be largely dry through the night. Some further hefty showers into north west scotland, where it will be windy. Its going to be mild to take us into saturday morning. So, for saturday, a couple of different Weather Fronts to pass across the uk. This first one here bringing some mostly fairly light, showery rain. This next weather front here bringing some more intense downpours across Northern Ireland and the north west of scotland. Some heavy, thundery downpours are possible. Between the rain bands, we will see some spells of sunshine and what will be quite a windy day, particularly across northern areas, gusts of 40 mph or more, but a pretty windy day wherever you are. Temperatures in the South East Corner getting up to 20 degrees celsius. Further north and west, it will be turning cooler as the day wears on, and actually Saturday Night could be quite cold. We could see A Touch Of Frost in northern areas. These Weather Fronts moving out of the way, a window of drier weather, but were into those westerly winds and that chillier air mass by this stage. Sunday is going to be a sunshine and showers day. It could be a frosty start for some northern areas, then some spells of sunshine. Showers getting going, particularly across Northern Ireland, scotland, northern england, some down into wales. Some of the showers wintry over the highest ground in the north. Not as many showers down towards the South East Corner, 9 15 degrees. That is about where we should be Temperature Wise for this time of year. Now, monday, well see this area of low pressure passing across the uk. Well see showers or longer spells of rain, some pretty blustery winds as well. The showers becoming fewer and further between as we head deeper into next week. Temperature wise, well, around the average for the time of year. Hello, im lucy grey. Youre watching the context on bbc news. As the minimum age forjoining whatsapp is lowered a bbc investigation finds that children as young as nine are already seeing alarming content. The minimum age limit for children using whatsapp has been lowered from 16 to 13. The Technology Company meta which owns it says its bringing the uk in line with the us and australia.
