BBC World Service - Weekend, US strikes at Iranian targets in Iraq and Syria

We get live reaction from the UAE’s ambassador to the UN, Lana Nusseibeh

We get live reaction from the UAE’s ambassador to the UN, Lana Nusseibeh.

As the US carries out 85 strikes against Iranian targets in retaliation for a deadly drone attack on an American base, we hear from Lana Nusseibeh, the United Arab Emirates' permanent representative to the United Nations.

Also on the programme: How an Israeli charity helping sick Palestinians get treatment in Israel is coping after Hamas’s attacks; and an exhibition on the self-ringing bell clocks of China's Emperors. 

Joining Paul Henley to discuss all this and more are Joana Cook, Assistant Professor of Terrorism and Political Violence at the Institute of Security and Global Affairs at Leiden University, and British author and journalist David Patrikarakos.
