About this episode

The episode covers the latest developments in the Israel-Iran conflict, Brexit polling, and the impact of the Iran war on the global airline industry.

Your morning briefing. All the news you need to start your day. On today's podcast: (1) Israel said it struck several military targets in Iran, retaliating against missile attacks by Tehran despite President Donald Trump’s call for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from hitting back. (2) The global airline industry will suffer a sharp profit drop this year, bringing in only about half the collective earnings previously predicted, as fuel costs and the war in Iran take their toll on air travel, the main aviation federation said. (3) A euro-zone interest-rate hike in the coming week is set to place the European Central Bank at the vanguard of global tightening caused by the Iran war. (4) European leaders called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to an immediate and complete ceasefire that allows talks to begin on a lasting peace deal. (5) A UK poll shows that a new Brexit referendum would reverse the vote that led to Britain’s departure from the European Union a decade ago.
