Outside Source

Available for 26 days

Israel says it has targeted a "major" missile and sea mining production facility in central Iran. Meanwhile, G7 foreign ministers meeting in France have called for an end to attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in the war in Iran. We hear from people inside Iran, and get the latest on today's developments from our correspondents. Data examined by the BBC shows the devastating impact of Israeli attacks on Iran. We hear a report by our senior international investigations correspondent who has had a rare access inside Tehran using satellite imagery, social media content and interviews. Governments around the world are desperately trying to offset the effects of the Middle East conflict on rising oil prices. We hear about the situation in Myanmar, where at least three people are reported to have died from heat stroke while queueing for fuel. We also look at how the war has affected tourism around the world and hear from tour guides and hotel owners in Sri Lanka, Egypt, and Turkey. Presenter: Rob Young.
