Iran-Israel war 'may well head into a more dangerous direction'

Iran missiles cause casualties in Israel as IDF warns Iranians to leave areas near military sites.

Israel and Iran have continued to attack each other throughout the night; at least ten people were killed in Israel. Various sites including residential buildings have been struck in Tehran. Iranian media say the number of civilian casualties is still unknown. Today was the day when US and Iran negotiators were supposed to meet in Oman to discuss Tehran's nuclear programme. Those talks have now been cancelled. We speak to Rob Malley, a lead negotiator of the Iran nuclear deal during the Obama era, known as JPOAC - Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

Also in the programme: Manhunt underway in Minnesota after the assassination of a lawmaker, and we will hear from two ecologists studying insects in Costa Rica's rainforests.

Joining Celia Hatton are Colleen Graffy, former US State Department official, and Peter Neuman, a terrorism expert.
