The Assassination of Hamas's Political Leader

And what was behind the trouble in Southport?

Today we look at the killing of Hamas’ political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran.

Haniyeh was involved in negotiations to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza strip. His killing came hours after an Israeli strike on a Hezbollah commander in Lebanon and raises fears of wider conflict in the Middle East. Adam speaks to international editor Jeremy Bowen and chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet.

We also discuss the arrests that followed disorder in Southport on Tuesday night with north of England correspondent Judith Moritz.
