    Another press conference from the Pentagon. Pete Hegseth is asking for hundreds of billions of dollars for the war effort.

    Are we amidst the start of another American forever war?

    Did Donald Trump just call for a united Ireland?

    The fountain turned green at the White House… and the Irish Prime Minister turned into the British prime minister’s most loyal ally… when Donald Trump took aim at Keir Starmer…again.

    Our Ireland correspondent, Stephen Murphy, was in the Oval Office as it happened.

    Plus - Donald Trump jokes about a merger between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Another day with more confusing geopolitical messaging from this president. Is he being properly briefed, or does he not care?

    And the Iran war is proving divisive, even among the president’s loyal lieutenants.

    The counterterrorism director he appointed has stepped down saying he cannot in good conscience support Trump’s war in Iran.

    Is this more evidence that the MAGA right is splintering over this conflict?

    Iran... America's next Vietnam War?

    Donald Trump says Iran's army, navy and air force have been totally obliterated.

    So why is he sending 5,000 service members to the Middle East?

    And Susie Wiles, the president's chief of staff, has breast cancer.

    She's one of the most influential people in the president's ear. As she recovers, how could the White House change if she is not always at his side?

    Does Trump’s White House think that war and death is just a game?

    We are seeing the memeification and trivialisation of the war in Iran on an industrial scale.

    The White House with daily posts joking about missiles and bombs landing on Iran, as the number of dead increases and the cost - of the war and of petrol - rises and rises.

    Why is Trump’s team so keen to take the mick?

    In California, Martha has been to the largest Iranian population outside of Iran. What do the Iranian diaspora make of the US raining “death, fire and fury” on their relatives?

    Plus - Kash Patel has a new regimen for his FBI agents. They’ll couple their deductive powers with wrestling matches as they get put their through paces by mixed martial artists.

    Why is the FBI director turning his agents into a bunch of UFC fighters?

    Pete Hegseth: $7m lobster, public prayer, and bombing Iran

    A day of Iran war briefings from the White House and the Pentagon.

    War commentary in the style of a comic strip from Pete Hegseth. We'll look into the whizz, bang and pop of it all. It includes prayer.

    Plus - we've seen the Pentagon's food bill. They spent seven million dollars on lobster tails... in one month. What's going on?

    Democrat senators aren't happy with how this war story's shaping up. They were being briefed on Capitol Hill. James Matthews was there.

    Did Trump just admit the US bombed a school in Iran?

    There are major inconsistencies with this White House administration right now. Rhetoric changes depending on when you catch the president, who claims the war in Iran could be over "soon".

    What does it mean for the conflict, and for the Iranian people? We unpack it all.

    That is as a new supreme leader is chosen - and questions start to mount over the bombing of a girls school that left more than 168 people dead.

    As for the new supreme leader - well, he seems even more hardline than his predecessor. Even if the US stops the missiles, will Iran?

    Plus - why is Trump talking about the Iran women's football team? We’ll explain.

    The ICE Queen is out: Kristi Noem, you’re fired

    Mark Stone is in Corpus Christi, the coastal city of southern Texas, gauging opinions of Americans - and Trump voters - on the war in Iran.

    Trump says he wants to be involved in the selection of the next Iranian supreme leader.

    At home, he’s been cleaning house - Kristi Noem, ICE Barbie, ICE Queen, she’s been melted, by order of the boss. She’s out, and in comes Markwayne Mullin. Who’s he?

    And in Washington DC, the man, the myth, the Messi has been in town. Lionel’s been at the White House to see the president.

    Is the US-UK special relationship now completely broken?

    Trump's war against Iran and its fallout continues - and it now pits the president against our prime minister.

    Donald Trump vs. Keir Starmer, over Iran. Is the relationship between the pair now irreparably ruined?

    Plus - we have a briefing with two (very) senior officials at the heart of the US administration. They explain to us exactly why the US is involved in Iran.

    We’ll digest what we make of it.

    And the Epstein files - they just won’t go away, only some have. Thousands have been deleted from public view. What’s happened there?

    Does Donald Trump actually know what he’s doing in Iran?

    Mixed messages from the commander-in-chief.

    The narrative from members of the administration seems to be built on shifting sands. What is the real reason for America’s intervention in Iran?

    And how long will this all-out regional conflict last - as millions shelter from missiles in the Middle East and Americans suffer economically.

    Major questions for the president.

    Plus - we finally get to watch Bill and Hillary Clinton’s testimony on Jeffrey Epstein. We unpack it.

    At the same time, US and Iranian officials meet in Geneva for delicate nuclear talks, negotiations unfolding as Trump beefs up America’s military presence in the Middle East.

    Plus, a stunning development in the global media industry as Netflix bows out of a bid to buy Warner Brothers which will instead be swallowed instead by a pal of the president. Mark and James explain.
