Today President Trump has urged Iranians to keep protesting, saying that “help is on its way.”

News agencies and BBC journalists are reporting that the death toll after anti-government protests is now in its thousands, as the state-imposed internet blackout continues. 

But what does President Trump mean and what’s next for Iran? Adam is joined by BBC World and BBC Persian senior reporter, Siavash Ardalan and BBC News Chief Presenter, Caitríona Perry.

Plus, Caitríona and Adam also look ahead to tomorrow’s meeting between Denmark, Greenland and the US as Greenland’s Prime Minister says the island is not for sale.

The Peter Mandelson Interview Analysis

In this extended version of this first and exclusive interview, Laura's questions him over Trump, Epstein, and what Number 10 really knew.

Laura, Paddy, and Henry will be in your feed with analysis later as normal.

The Peter Mandelson Interview

Today, Laura and Paddy speak to Sir Lawrence Freedman, historian, and Professor of War Studies at King's College London, to help us understand what’s happening in Iran, as well as the huge foreign news stories of recent times.

There’s possible regime change in Iran, where protests continue and authorities issued coordinated warnings to protesters. A doctor and medic at two hospitals told the BBC their facilities were overwhelmed with injuries. 

Donald Trump has warned the regime not to kill protesters, and after capturing the Venezuelan president, he’s turned his sights to Greenland which he’d like to be in control of. Plus Russian strikes and blackouts in Ukraine continue. Can you draw a line between all of these things, and is there a helpful way of understanding them?

The Week: How Does Starmer Handle Trump, Grok and What's Going On In Iran?

Protests are taking place in Minneapolis after a woman was fatally shot by a US ICE agent.

Accounts of what exactly happened are conflicting, with the Trump Administration citing self-defence whilst law makers in the city and state of Minnesota are calling it a brazen act of force.

Adam is joined by BBC North America correspondent, Anthony Zurcher, and BBC North America reporter, Madeline Halpert, who is on the ground and at the scene in Minneapolis.

In studio is BBC business editor Simon Jack, who got the scoop on the government’s latest change of heart about business rates for English pubs.

Everything We Know About The Minneapolis ICE Shooting…So Far

Also in the studio is BBC economics editor Faisal Islam, who’s back from a visit to Google HQ in California, where they are developing a quantum computer which could have capabilities beyond anything the world has yet seen. Faisal fills us in on what he learned from his trip.
