President Biden says Israel's attacks on Iran seem to have only struck military targets and that he hopes they mark the "end of hostilities". Tehran downplays the significance of airstrikes, while saying it has a duty to defend itself. The Israeli government says it has achieved its goals - so did calls from the White House actually succeed?
Also on the programme: the exit polls are in for Georgia's election, with the ruling Georgian Dream party projected to win, and we hear from Professor Kehinde Andrews on whether or not the UK should pay reparations to its former empire.
