Iran has said it is confident it can counter widened US sanctions after Washington announced what it described as an "economic D-Day" against the country to try to isolate it from the global economy.

Iranian Economy Minister Ali Madanizadeh said Tehran was "fully prepared" for the sanctions, which he said would lead to "another defeat" for the US.

Announcing a raft of new measures, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said any nation financially partnering with Iran would be isolated, and that banks and businesses dealing with Iran would share its isolation if they refused to cut ties.

The moves follow U-turns and extended deadlines from the White House in its efforts to end the conflict.

There are more than two million robots working in China's factories - which is more than anywhere else - and they are continuing to scale up at extraordinary speed.

It is a commitment that will surely change the world, much like the last time the Chinese economy underwent a massive transformation.

It is already shipping its robots across the globe: more than half of the world's industrial robots are now made in China.

What is less clear is the impact of such sweeping automation in a country that sits at the heart of global manufacturing, trade and innovation.

Russia is warning of increasing tension with the UK, following its decision to give Ukraine blueprints to build more effective long-range missiles.

The British Prime Minister Andy Burnham visited Kyiv, on the anniversary of its independence from the former Soviet Union, to had over the previously classified details of components used to construct cruise missiles. The information will help Ukraine manufacture its own versions of the Storm Shadow missile.

Mr Burnham compared Ukraine’s fight against Russia to the battle to defeat Nazi Germany, and pledged continuing British support.

President Putin’s spokesman Dmity Peskov said the UK was involved in the war on the side of Ukraine. He said British actions were adding “fuel to the fire” and accused the UK of deliberately sabotaging any progress towards a peace settlement.

Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Dan Johnson in Kyiv and Steve Rosenberg in Moscow.

The US announced a host of sanctions against Iran and threatened its supporters in what Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said was "the single greatest financial offensive ever".

Labelling it an "economic D-Day" for Iran, Bessent said the US would sever all economic ties with the country and added that any nation financially partnering with Iran would also be isolated.

However, the latest threat to the Iranian regime follows several U-turns and extended deadlines from the White House in its efforts to end the conflict.

The war has led to hikes in global oil prices, and in response to the latest threat Iran warned it would shut down all oil exports from the region if the war continued.
