Show notes

At the eleventh hour last night, the U.S. and Iran reached a deal for a two week ceasefire while the two countries negotiate on a longer-term end to the conflict that has dominated global headlines for over a month. With the war now on pause, what does it mean for oil prices as the Strait of Hormuz reopens, and what will both sides get out of the deal?


And now Prime Minister Keir Starmer has headed to the Middle East for talks with allies - but what does he hope to achieve?


Live from Dubai, Isabel Oakeshott joins Jeremy Kyle to discuss the local reaction to the end of the war and what the region hopes to get from it.


And Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by author Jake Wallis Simons for a discussion about how America may have won tactically, but Iran hopes the trump card when it comes to the Strait of Hormuz - and Lord Dannatt, former head of the British Army, joins to explain the the thin line between winning and losing in conflicts like this, and the importance of Pakistan in securing this deal.


And Former Ukrainian Government Adviser Cormac Smith joins Julia to discuss how the US is getting involved in Hungary's upcoming election and what that means for Ukraine.
