Peter Oborne is a veteran journalist who has written on Iran, 9/11, the place of Islam in Western politics. Speaking to Matthew Wright for LBC, Oborne warned that Keir Starmer's decision to send RAF jets to the Middle East mirorrs 'what happened to Tony Blair 20 years ago'. Oborne claimed Israel's PM, Benjamin Netanyahu, is a 'proven liar with an agenda' against Iran, whose goal of 'regime change' will bring about 'chaos'. Britain has sent additional RAF fighter jets to the Middle East as the intense fighting between Israel and Iran continues to escalate. Sir Keir Starmer said the military aircraft, including Typhoons and air-to-air refuelers, were being sent "for contingency support" across the Middle East after Iran launched a fresh round of missile attacks on Israel on Saturday night. He said the situation was fast-moving and there were ongoing discussions with allies, adding: "The constant message is de-escalate." The UK last announced it had deployed jets to the region last year, when the government said British aircraft had been playing a role in preventing escalation. It comes as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said three people had been killed and dozens injured after Iran launched its latest missile strike on Tehran, in northern Israel. Iranian state TV said around 100 missiles were launched in the second wave of their operation "True Promise 3". It was launched after an Israeli air strike killed 60 people in the capital Tehran and hit the Shahran Oil Depot earlier the same day. Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian threatened a "more severe" response if Israel doesn't stand down, while Israel's Defence Minister Israel Katz earlier warned that "Tehran will burn" if Iran continues to launch missiles. Sir Keir made the remarks about increasing the number of RAF jets being sent to the conflict zone as he travelled to Canada for the G7 summit, where he said the weekend's "intense" developments would be further discussed. According to Tehran's Oil Ministry, the latest Israeli strikes on the Iranian capital hit the Shahran Oil Depot. As a result, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has launched a new attack with Haifa and Tel Aviv being the main target. Mr Pezeskiam threatened a "more severe" response if Israel doesn't stand down.

After just one person walked away from the Air India crash in Ahmedabad this week, Matt Frei wondered what it is like to be the sole survivor of a plane crash. Annette Herfkens was the only person to survive the crash of Vietnam Airlines Flight 474 in 1992. Annette describes the moment that "everything went black", seeing "no life" behind her husband's smile who was sat next to her, and how she was able to survive eight days alone in the Vietnamese jungle before she was rescued.
