Summary

The terrorism threat level in the UK has been raised from "substantial" to "severe" following the stabbing of two Jewish men in north London. That means a terror attack is considered to be highly likely in the next six months. Donald Trump faces a key deadline in his war with Iran under a law which limits the president sending the military into combat for an extended period without authorisation from Congress. Plus, the new Renters' Rights Act comes into force today. It’s described as the biggest shake-up to renting in England for more than 30 years. And the Tony Blair Institute has called to scrap the triple lock pensions – arguing for a "lifespan fund" instead. Anna and Kamali have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
