About this episode

The episode discusses the Iranian attack on Jordan in response to US airstrikes, wildfires in North America, and the motivation of footballers for the World Cup.

Tehran said its strikes on Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait were a response to a seventh consecutive night of US air attacks. Also in the programme: we speak to Canada's Minister of Emergency Management and Community Resilience as smoke from hundreds of wildfires spreads across North America; and we ask how English and French footballers are trying to motivate themselves for the World Cup third place play-off (Photo: Picture of a US military logo.
