About this episode

Russian security officials have described an explosion at a restaurant in Moscow, which killed three people, as an act of terrorism. They have not yet said who they believe to be responsible, but there is speculation of a link to the war in Ukraine. Iran says it is in the "final stages" of talks with Oman over management of the Strait of Hormuz. Andy Burnham has said he will be "relentless" in tackling small boat crossings to "bring back control" to the UK's border. The National Farmers' Union has warned that a prolonged drought could cause shortages of some food products in shops.
