hamish de bretton—gordon, thank you very much indeed forjoining us.s like there will be quite a bit of cloud around. today there will be a scattering of showers with some sunshine in between, and it is still quite breezy out there. showers will continue to run in across parts of central and eastern england and also in the south, we are clearing away our morning weather front. for western areas the winds start to ease a little later, the winds are still brisk, and given that at this time of year the sea is at its coolest, it will feel quite bracing on the north sea coast. 11l—15 outside of the wind should feel pleasant, and we should get more sunshine this afternoon in northern ireland, west of scotland, western parts of england and wales. this evening and overnight the chilly breeze continues to feed showers into england. patchy cloud and rain coming into the north on the next weather front but for most of us, because the showers clear, and the cloud, it will be colder than last night, with a fairly widespread ground frost. gardeners, beware. this hig

hamish de bretton—gordon is a chemical weapons expert and former commander of british and nato nuclearforcesis for this attack. i think very significant. isfahan was the second city of iran. a lot of military bases are around it and, as you say, they pay to have hit a military base was not whether it is a rainy and the revolutionary guard corps, who knows, i wouldn't be at all surprised. and fairly near to where we believe iran is trying to build nuclear weapons. where we believe iran is trying to build nuclearweapons. i where we believe iran is trying to build nuclear weapons. isuspect where we believe iran is trying to build nuclear weapons. i suspect a nod to them. i think this attack is very much a demonstration of capability and perhaps intent. iran fired 300 plus missiles and drones that israel and they virtually will get knocked down. israel fires one, perhaps two missiles at iran, at a target, appears to have got through and damage. i think people might be surprised to know that, conventionally, israel vastly over matches iran. and this is a demonstration of that. i suspect your corr
