Israeli hospital struck by Iranian missile

Soroka hospital in Beersheba in southern Israel has been directly hit by an Iranian missile

An Israeli hospital has been struck in the latest Iranian missile barrage on the country. The hospital says it has suffered extensive damage and people have been wounded. A third year medical student in training at Soroka Medical Centre who was next door to the attack joins us.

This comes as the US President Donald Trump told senior aides that he has approved plans to attack Iran, but hasn't made a final decision to strike. We take a look at what people in Tehran are saying about this conflict.

We'll get an Arab perspective on this conflict and get a view from Jordan. General Hussein Majali, Jordan's former interior minister joins us.

And in business news we'll look at a deal that will see the sale of a majority stake in the Los Angeles Lakers Basketball franchise.
