Hello, I'm Ankur Desai and at 16 GMT on Wednesday, the 8th of July, these are our main stories. President Trump warns the US will again hit Iran hard later today after earlier declaring that the ceasefire was over following fresh exchanges of military strikes. He was speaking on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara where speaking alongside President Zelensky, he also promised to license the manufacture of vital Patriot air defense missiles to Ukraine. Elsewhere, French MPs have approved a new law, which would mean police are presumed to have acted legally when they shoot someone. And also in this podcast, how do you follow Oscar winning box office conquering movies like Oppenheimer?
My son walked into my office while I was writing on the Odyssey and said, where are your Oscars? And I said, well, I'm trying to write a new project. And if I've got Oscars sitting on the shelf, think about how daunting that would be. And he looked at me and said, but you didn't win for writing.
What did President Trump mean when he said the ceasefire with Iran is 'over'?
Hollywood director Christopher Nolan and his star-studded cast talk about the new blockbuster movie The Odyssey. President Trump has warned the US will again hit Iran hard later today after earlier declaring that the ceasefire was over. He was speaking at the NATO summit in Ankara.
To me, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them anymore. They're scum. You know what scum is? They're scum. They're sick people.
They're led by sick people. And they're vicious, violent people. And if they had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it. As far as I'm concerned, it's over. I'll speak to our negotiators.
They want to negotiate. They're good people. Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner. But they have to come back to me.
As far as I'm concerned, it's just a waste of time dealing with them. They're liars. We make a deal. And if I make a deal with him, we have a deal. And he goes out, he talks.
We make a deal. Everyone's agreed. No nuclear weapon. We make a deal. They go outside, talk to the press. They say, we never even talked about it. There's something wrong with them. They're cuckoo. As far as I'm concerned, it's over.
Well, in the latest clashes, US Central Command said it fired at more than 80 Iranian targets. Iran said it targeted US military sites in Bahrain and Kuwait. The US strikes followed attacks earlier in the week on three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. A correspondent in Jerusalem, Caroline Davies, is monitoring developments. She told us what she made of President Trump's comments about the ceasefire.
Firstly, to just say that President Trump almost seems to be saying two things in the course of his comments. Obviously, firstly, and very clearly, he said when asked, is the ceasefire still holding? Is the MOU, the Memorandum of Understanding, which was signed only just last month, is that still in place? And he said that as far as he is concerned... It's over were his terms. But at the same time, he was then asked, does that mean the talks are finished? Are they over as well? And he said, well, they can continue to talk, but I think they're wasting their time. So he's not pulling his negotiators out of these talks and these conversations, which we know are ongoing. We know that that's part of the memorandum of understanding.
that they've got 60 days, according to that, at the moment to continue to have these discussions, and that that process is not stopping, but that President Trump is saying that as far as he is concerned, the ceasefire and the MOU is no longer holding. So what exactly does that mean is going to happen next? And that's what's really unclear. Does it mean that we are going to see an increase in hostilities again? Does it mean that we are going to see further attacks, further escalation, further tit for tat? Or, and this isn't necessarily completely exclusive, is this also a potential negotiating position from President Trump? What this slightly reminds me of is the period when we had a ceasefire, but no MOU.
