BBC World Service - BBC OS, Growing tension in the Gulf

We speak to our regional experts about who is behind the Saudi oil attacks

The United States has issued satellite images and data to back its allegation that Iran was behind the attacks on Saudi oil facilities. We speak to our regional experts on this story. 

Also, the British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, is in Brussels to discuss Brexit, Britain's exit from the European Union. The European Commission President, Jean-Claude Junker, said no proposals had been put forward to replace the current deadline. We hear the latest on the negotiations. 

And we go to our correspondent in India for the the latest on the Indian Supreme Court hearing petitions against the media and communication restrictions in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
