Several Gulf nations have responded to Iranian attacks after the US launched new airstrikes against Iran, including near the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump gave a downbeat assessment of dealing with the Iranian regime and current prospects for negotiations. We speak to the Deputy Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court and hear her assessment of crimes against humanity committed in Darfur during Sudan's civil war. And two weeks after twin earthquakes his Venezuela killing thousands of people we look at how the event has hit the most vulnerable - the country's children. Presenters: James Copnall and Catherine Byaruhanga. (Photo: Smoke rises from a port, near Strait of Hormuz, following a U.S. strike in Kuhestak, Hormozgan Province.
