Senior Iranian military advisers reported to be among the dead.

An apparent Israeli airstrike in Damascus has killed four members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, including the head of the force's information unit in Syria.

Also on the programme: we head to the Democratic Republic of Congo where Felix Tshisekedi is being sworn in for a second term as president; and Mary Weiss, the lead singer of the 60's US group the Shangri-Las has died.
