Yemen's Houthis attack Saudi tankers

President Trump has threatened to inflict major military punishment against Yemen's Houthi rebels.

President Trump said he was disapointed in the Houthis and warned that Iran would also face punishment after Saudi tankers were attacked. BBC Verify explains what is known about the attacks.

We also have the latest on unprecedented youth protests in India.

On the first day of the US-Israeli war with Iran, a strike hit a primary school in Minab in the south of the country, killing 156 people - 120 of them children. We speak to the BBC's Nawal al-Maghafi who has been to Minab with a BBC team. Almost five months on, the US has still not released the findings of its investigation into the Minab tragedy, although media reports of a preliminary US military assessment suggest they were likely responsible. Our State Department correspondent explains.

The Commonwealth Games get underway in Scotland later today. We speak to journalists covering the Games.
