Israel targets Iranian nuclear sites
Benjamin Netanyahu says Iran is a threat to Israel's survival.
The Israeli Defence Force says it has carried out strikes on nuclear sites in Iran. Benjamin Netanyahu says the strikes are part of 'Operation Rising Lion' and that Iran is a threat to Israel's survival. Iran state television says residential areas have been hit and civilians killed. Israel is now in a state of emergency saying it expected a counter attack. We go live to Tehran and Jerusalem and we will also get a view from the USA where it's reported US officials are not happy with this development.
And we go to Ahmedabad in western India where a London bound Air India plane carrying 242 people crashed into a residential area shortly after take off. All but one passenger, a British national, were killed. We will look at how India is reacting to this tragic event and what this means for aviation safety.
