It's been an awkward couple of years since 2016, really, hasn't it, for the monarch to walk in in the midst of political turmoil?

And you don't have the wine, you see, so it doesn't really balance out.

Do, Matt, I'd love that.

Thanks so much.

Great to talk to you.

Matt Fry there, Channel 4 presenter, and we'll keep you up to date with things as they happen.

Well, as far as I know, there was an attack on central Beirut, which has not happened for a long time.

And I think the Israelis are claiming that this was a Hezbollah target and therefore they were completely within their rights to break the ceasefire and hit the target.

I mean, it shows you just how vulnerable the ceasefire in Lebanon is.

And even though Donald Trump has read the Israelis, the riot act not to break the ceasefire.

I remember there was a very stern phone call a couple of weeks ago when the

the Israelis' position was in danger of exploding all the ceasefires in the region.

Despite that riot act, occasionally they feel incumbent to intervene.

And I think this is a portent of what might happen if there is a lasting ceasefire in the Iran war, that whenever the Israelis feel that there's unfinished business, and they very much feel, as I've been told by a couple of Israeli officials, that there was unfinished business in Tehran,

that they have the right to intervene in order to finish regime change, they could do so.

So it shows you just how fragile the whole situation is.

No, I think that's not at the moment.

I think the bigger issue is can they reach a deal?

Can Tehran and Washington agree

reach a deal, and I think we are getting closer to a deal for two reasons.
