President Joe Biden blames Iran-backed militants for attack on US troops in Jordan

President Joe Biden blames Iran-backed militants for attack on US troops in Jordan.

The drone attack on a base in Jordan killed three American troops. The US has levelled its accusations at Iran, which backs a number of militia groups in the region, and promised to respond. Iran denies that it was behind the attack, calling the accusations "baseless''.
 
Also on the programme: Hungary has accused the EU of blackmail after reports Brussels was threatening to damage Hungary's economy if it didn't lift its objections to aid for Ukraine; and how playing an instrument could help your brainpower as you grow older.
