Why have the UK government U-turned on winter fuel payments? | BBC Newscast
Today, the UK Labour party confirms 75% of pensioners will keep their winter fuel payments, reversing a widely criticised policy.
Nine million pensioners in England and Wales with an annual income of £35,000 or less will now be eligible. The payment, worth up to £300 to help with energy bills during the coldest months, was paid only to those on pension credit last year. Alex Forsyth and Chris Mason discuss the chain of events that have led to this moment, and what it says about the UK Chancellor, Rachel Reeves.
Also, a yacht carrying 12 pro-Palestinian activists, including Greta Thunberg, was intercepted by the Israeli navy while sailing toward Gaza with aid. Alex speaks to the BBC’s Jeremy Bowen about what happened and the state of humanitarian aid in Gaza.

he US military has carried out strikes on Iran, targeting a military site in Bandar Abbas, a strategic port city.
In response, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had targeted a US air base, without providing details of its location.
Kuwait, which hosts a US air base, said its air defences were intercepting “hostile missile and drone threats”, but did not specify where they were coming from.
The renewed hostilities threaten a fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran.
It is the second time in three days that the US has attacked targets in Iran – saying that the strikes were conducted in self defence.

US President Donald Trump has said he is “not satisfied” yet with the terms of the deal being negotiated with Iran.
Iranian state TV reported what it said were details of a draft agreement, which included reopening the Strait of Hormuz and the withdrawal of US forces from the region.
The White House branded the text a “complete fabrication”.
The Israeli military has issued evacuation orders for large parts of southern Lebanon, declaring the areas “combat zones” ahead of fresh strikes against Hezbollah.
Household energy prices will rise by 13% a year in July, in the UK, as soaring wholesale costs caused by the US-Israel war with Iran hit bills for the first time.
