The RAF Base Break In

Newscast

About this episode

Today we’re looking at the reaction to a security breach at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.

Pro-Palestinian activists broke into the base and sprayed two military planes with red paint.

The home secretary will move to proscribe the Palestine Action group in the coming weeks, effectively branding them as a terrorist organisation, the BBC understands.

Paddy and Laura look at the political row surrounding the incident.

And the BBC’s chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet joins us to answer your questions on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.
