Newshour

Available for 29 days

President Trump has threatened to hit Iran hard again in the coming hours, after declaring the ceasefire over because of Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz. Also on the programme, NATO's secretary general says the alliance is stronger than ever - despite transatlantic tensions - with Europeans taking greater responsibility for their own defence; and Nigeria's president has ordered a corruption investigation into allegations that a fictitious government agency was set up within his own office.
