Iran and Israel exchange strikes | Starmer to announce social media ban? | Pocket money increase
About this episode
The episode discusses the recent missile strikes between Iran and Israel, potential social media bans for minors in the UK, and a peace proposal from Ukraine's president.
Iran has fired missiles at Israel for the first time since a ceasefire was agreed in April, with Israel's air force retaliating in the past few hours. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted Northern Israel late on Sunday evening, and claimed in a statement "this operation is not a passing event, but rather the beginning of a full week of continuous strikes". Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he would be willing to freeze the current battlefield lines in Ukraine as the "quickest way" to a peace agreement, in an exclusive interview with Yalda Hakim. Sir Keir Starmer is expected to announce a social media ban for under 16s in a last-bid attempt to try to win over Labour MPs. The US is reportedly considering buying the Chagos Islands should the UK go through with its plans to cede sovereignty of the territory. And finally, there has been a 1.2% increase for young people when it comes to pocket money. Sophy and Wilf have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
