President Donald Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Wednesday as tensions continue to rise across the Middle East and negotiations intensify over curbing Iran's nuclear weapons programme.

Netanyahu is expected to press Trump to pursue a deal that would not only halt Iran's uranium enrichment, but also cut its ballistic missile programme and support for proxy groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

The prime minister has long argued that Iran represents an existential security threat to Israel and has pushed the US to curb Tehran's influence in the region.

Iran has suggested it is ready to limit its nuclear programme in return for sanctions relief, but it has rejected the other demands.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has had a tumultuous week, fighting for his political survival.

He has seen off a challenge to his leadership following repeated criticism over his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson - who had close ties with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein - as the UK's ambassador to the US.

Starmer faced pressure to resign from high profile figures in his ruling Labour party, including from the Scottish Labour Leader Anas Sarwar.

Two members of the prime minister's team, his chief of staff and director of communications have also stood down.

However, in a turn of fate, Keir Starmer won over senior ministers and MPs saying he was 'not prepared to walk away'.

But is he out of danger?

Our political correspondent Rob Watson gave us the background.

Donald Trump is threatening Iran with further military attacks if it does not meet his demands on issues including nuclear enrichment. The US President said Iran would face “something very tough” if negotiations do not succeed. He said he is considering sending a second aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East to prepare for military action.

The US and Iran resumed negotiations last week, for the first time since the 12 days of conflict in June 2025, when the US carried out airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. Alongside the new talks, the US has begun a massive military build-up in the region. The USS Abraham Lincoln and its strike group has already been deployed.

Donald Trump has claimed that Iran "wants to make a deal very badly”. However Tehran has said it won't negotiate on any issues other than its nuclear program and won't give up its right to enrich uranium. It’s accused of attempting to build a nuclear weapons but insists the enrichment programme is only intended for civil nuclear power.

The BBC is reporting from inside Iran for the first time since mass protests there were crushed in an authoritarian crackdown in which thousands of people were killed by the authoritiies.

Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Lyse Doucet in Tehran and Sarah Smith in Washington.

The BBC has visited Iran for the first time since the crackdown by security forces on nationwide anti-government protests last month.

Iran's leaders are marking 47 years since the Islamic Revolution, with bunting and flags decorating the streets of Tehran - but the pain is still raw after unprecedented force was used to put down the protests.

Human rights activists have said they have confirmed the killing of at least 6,400 protesters, but warned that the final death toll could be far higher.

The BBC's chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet is reporting from Tehran on condition that none of her material is used on the BBC's Persian Service. These restrictions apply to all international media organisations operating in Iran.

Officially, the practice of child marriage is illegal in the country. But UNICEF estimates that over 200 million girls and women in India have been married before they turned 18.

BBC journalist Divya Arya reports on how sport is helping some young women to break free from the bonds of early marriage and to forge an identity for themselves.
