BBC visits the ruins of Minab school in Iran

On the first day of the US/Israeli war in Iran, an airstrike hit a primary school in Minab in the south of the country, killing 156 people - including 120 children

Almost five months on, the US has still not released the findings of its investigation into the tragedy, although media reports of a preliminary US military assessment suggest they were likely responsible. President Trump has said it may never be known who was at fault. Our correspondent visits the school.

The US and Saudi Arabia have signed a landmark deal that will reportedly allow the Gulf kingdom to develop a civilian nuclear programme.

We hear from the co founder of the Hugging Face that was attacked by AI in an “unprecedented incident”.
