Summary
Today could end up being a defining day for Sir Keir Starmer's premiership, as pressure grows on him to step down. Labour MP and foreign minister Catherine West is threatening to launch a leadership challenge unless a major speech by the PM hits the mark. Peace between the US and Iran appears unlikely after Donald Trump said proposals put forward by Tehran are "totally unacceptable". Twenty British nationals who were evacuated from a cruise ship hit by a hantavirus outbreak are now self-isolating for 72 hours at a hospital on Merseyside. And British drama Adolescence wins even more awards after cleaning up at the TV BAFTAs. Plus: could working a four-day week tackle the obesity crisis? Scientists have found the hours someone works can be linked to their weight. Sophy and Wilf have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
