The US says it has carried out multiple strikes on targets in Iran after President Donald Trump accused Tehran of dragging out talks on an interim peace deal. The attacks come just 24 hours after earlier US strikes launched in retaliation for the downing of an American Apache helicopter.

Chapter 2: What recent military actions has the US taken against Iran?
Protesters have clashed with police in Belfast overnight as UK politicians blame extremists online and Elon Musk for promoting unrest. Northern Ireland's First Minister, Michelle O'Neill, says that some are encouraging hatred.
These bad actors are actually using what's happened on Monday night and playing to people's fears and orchestrating this whilst they're set cosy in their homes and encourage all these other people to go out onto the streets.
O'Neill was joined by a range of politicians in pointing to social media as a catalyst for the violence, which started after a video of a stabbing circulated online. Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey called for a crackdown on social media and quote tech billionaires fueling hatred.
Elon Musk has repeatedly amplified both far right UK politicians and calls for mass deportations on his platform in the past few days.

The start-up says the accounts were likely linked to a private, unnamed Chinese technology company doing work for Chinese provincial-level government clients.
OpenAI says the postings did not have a wide reach, but they raised concerns about foreign attempts to undermine a strategic US industry. In London, I'm Ewan Potts, Bloomberg Radio.
