Trump tells the BBC the US and Iran are 'very close to signing a very powerful deal'

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The US president intervened after Iran and Israel launched missiles at each other. We speak to former American Ambassador to Israel, Thomas Nides. Also in the programme: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer wants Apple and Google to install software on phones that will prevent children from taking or sharing explicit images – but does the technology exist to make that request a reality? And we ask researchers why a record numbers of octopuses have been spotted off the coast of England.
