US President Donald Trump said that he is “not satisfied” with proposals from Iran, reports say that Tehran has delivered a new plan to Pakistan which is mediating between the two sides.

President Trump told reporters on Friday afternoon: “We just had a conversation with Iran. Let’s see what happens. But, I would say that I am not happy.”

He said a deal has been hard to reach in part because Iranian leadership was “very confused”, after a number of its top military officials were killed in the war.

Trump said he was briefed with options by US Central Command on Thursday, ranging from “blast the hell out of them and finish them forever” to “make a deal”.

Meanwhile, there’s a stark warning about the impact of the war on global food supplies. The head of a giant fertiliser firm said that that could cost up to 10 billion meals a week.

The terror threat level has been increased to severe as Britain’s top police officer says that the UK faces a pandemic of antisemitism and the government’s adviser on terrorism says we face a national emergency.

This crisis on the streets of Britain is just one of many crises which Sir Keir Starmer, the prime minister, has been facing in recent weeks and months.

The crisis triggered by the war in Iran threatens to tear up his plans and hopes for the economy. The ongoing war in Ukraine continues to cause real problems for British businesses and British households.

Nick Robinson has been speaking to Sir Keir Starmer for BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, about his meeting with police who arrested the suspect in the Golders Green attack.

He criticises comments about the arrest from Green Party leader Zack Polanski. Mr Polanski has now apologised for “sharing a tweet in haste,” adding that he should not have commented on police actions via social media.

Listen to the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.

The United Nations General Assembly is to vote later today on a special resolution about the Ukraine-Russia conflict.

The motion calls for Russia to withdraw from all Ukrainian territory, and for hostilities to end.

Major powers like India and South Africa have abstained on similar votes previously, while Russia’s allies oppose it.

The vote will take place at the UN General Assembly, and has no legal standing, but is considered to be an important measure of international opinion.
