The World Tonight - Iranian missiles breach Iron Dome over Tel Aviv

Download Iranian missiles breach Iron Dome over Tel Aviv

More explosions are being heard in Tehran tonight, while over Tel Aviv Iranian ballistic missiles rained down, some breaching Israel's air defences. 24 hours on from the beginning of Israel's attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, the conflict between the two Middle-Eastern powers appears to be escalating. Iran's Supreme Leader accused Israel of starting a war, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on Iranians to rise up against the regime.

Also tonight as the sole survivor of a plane crash in India speaks, we ask whether some plane seats might be safer than others. And we hear from documentary filmmaker Adam Curtis on his latest series documenting the collapse of a shared sense of truth in the United Kingdom.
