How will Israel respond to Iran attack?
Listen now
Description
Israel's army chief has vowed to respond to Iran's unprecedented attack - despite calls from allies to show restraint. A leading right-wing Israeli politician tells us why he supports hitting back. And we speak to former CIA chief General David Petraeus about the risk of escalation. Also on the programme: We're in India, hearing from excited first-time voters ahead of the general election which begins this week. And as actress Hannah Waddingham's reprimands a photographer who appeared to ask her to “show leg”, we ask a paparazzo about blue language on the red carpet.
