Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
The United States conducted a second night of strikes on Iran, hitting around 90 military targets. Iran retaliated by attacking US infrastructure in Kuwait and Bahrain, with air defence signals also sounded in Qatar and Jordan. The Kuwaiti army reported intercepting three ballistic missiles, one cruise missile, and ten drones, with one person injured. The correspondent noted that the situation involves the Strait of Hormuz and that negotiations are still scheduled, despite the reciprocal attacks.
Global energy prices rose as a result of the escalation, with Brent crude reaching $78 a barrel, though still below earlier peaks. The rise in oil prices is expected to put upward pressure on inflation. Separately, the Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler died unexpectedly at age 75 in a Portuguese hospital, according to a family statement.
A rare red electricity supply warning was issued for the evening as a heatwave continued, with temperatures forecast to reach 36°C in parts of the south. The London Fire Brigade reported its busiest 24-hour period since the start of the year due to wildfire risk. At Wimbledon, British wildcard Arthur Ferry defeated the ninth seed to reach the semi-finals, where he will face Alexander Zverev.

Contested quote US strikes Iran near Strait of Hormuz, Iran retaliates
I think we're in a position where two countries who are powered by strong rhetoric have felt the need to respond to each other, and yet, bizarrely, a ceasefire that they had previously agreed may yet come back into play.

What an absolute dream run, and, of course, as they were saying, it's a Ferry dream come true. Alexander Zverev, the French Open champion, stands in his way.
