How will Israel respond to Iran attack?

BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, How will Israel respond to Iran attack?

Israel's army chief vows to respond to Iran's unprecedented attack.

Israel's army chief has vowed to respond to Iran's unprecedented attack - despite calls from allies to show restraint. A leading right-wing Israeli politician tells us why he supports hitting back. And we speak to former CIA chief General David Petraeus about the risk of escalation.

Also on the programme:

We're in India, hearing from excited first-time voters ahead of the general election which begins this week.

And as actress Hannah Waddingham's reprimands a photographer who appeared to ask her to “show leg”, we ask a paparazzo about blue language on the red carpet.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
