Subscribe to BBC News www.youtube.com/bbcnews
Stairway to Heaven was one of the biggest rock songs of the 1970s – loved, imitated and sometimes parodied. Now Led Zeppelin’s classic track is back on the turntable, on a re-mastered version of the band’s fourth album. 43 years after its release, the song continues to hold a place in many music fans’ hearts.
Guitarist Jimmy Page gives a personal account of how a rock anthem came together.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

There are few pieces of music that can shift this old school R&B girl into a different genre. Led Zeppelin is the exception. While attending Boarding School for six years back in 1970 – 75, I was exposed to many different music types and styles. Hearing Led Zeppelin, blasting from my school mates record players and cassette players was my introduction and education into Rock. Only the best of the best. And this classic Historical Anthem will always be a catalyst for me. Back then, we didn’t refer to our neighborhood’s as “The Hood” they were simply our neighborhood’s. Those places we saw our parents leave for work every day, where we celebrated life from. Where I returned for holidays and vacations from school. Where I brought the music of school home to. Imagine Led Zeppelin ( in the hood) amongst the R&B legends. And to say Zeppelin was well received would be an understatement. Imagine seeing Led Zeppelin T shirts on AFRO wearing adolescents. Thank You Led Zeppelin for your incredible sound, artistry, and genius. ♥️🎶🎸🎤🎼🎵

Led Zeppelin's music is a music of shadows…there's an existential quirk in this song because you just can't buy the stairway to heaven…Jimmy's speaks of light and shade in their music, but I believed from the start that the spirit of blues great Robert Johnson always hovered over their music…. "Stairway to Heaven" makes us question why we are all here and the consequences of our choices…

It didn't happen cus they were so adept or they were deserving or good it was the will of the universe that this code was made for us. In a way that was unable to be ignored. Being rich and famous is dangerous lots of temptations I've heard
