Israel-Iran conflict continues into seventh day
Iran says Israel has hit several nuclear sites on the seventh day of its bombardment.
Israel's defence minister has said Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei "can no longer be allowed to exist". Israel Katz insisted the Ayatollah be held accountable for an Iranian missile strike on a hospital in the city of Beersheba. Patients had been moved already. Iran said it was targeting a military site nearby. We hear from ordinary Iranians and Israelis, and we have the latest from our correspondent in Israel.
Iran's deputy foreign minister has told the 蜜芽传媒 that diplomacy would be his country's first option if the shooting stopped - but there would be "hell for the whole region" if America joined the fighting. We hear the full interview.
Russia's economy minister has said the country is on the verge of recession. We speak to our business reporter and hear from Russians.
Presenter: Rob Young.
