Plus - ICE officers now in airports?

And we react to that comment by Trump in response to the death of esteemed public servant, and Trump’s public enemy no. 1, Robert Mueller.

What does it mean for the conflict, and for the Iranian people? We unpack it all.

That is as a new supreme leader is chosen - and questions start to mount over the bombing of a girls school that left more than 168 people dead.
