President Trump has threatened to unleash hell on Iran in forty- eight hours if its leaders don't make a deal or open up the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has virtually closed off the strait, through which twenty percent of the world's oil is exported. The Iranian military has credited new air defence systems with the reported downing of two American military planes on Friday. A crew member from one of the aircraft is still missing.
Also in the programme: Teachers' union in the UK warns of 'masculinity crisis brewing' in schools; we look at how the war in Iran is making petrol and diesel increasingly expensive in Australia; and we hear from Ed Dwight, the first Black man on the US Space program.
