Donald Trump has said he will bomb Oman if it “gets in the way” of US talks with Iran.

Oman, which says it is a neutral country between Iran and the US, has suffered a number of strikes from Iran since the conflict broke out. However, it is now playing a role in negotiations to reopen the strait. On Monday, Iranian officials said they were close to finalising a deal with Oman on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.

Jeremy Bowen, BBC international editor joins Adam to discuss Trump’s comments and ongoing negotiations between the US, Israel and Hamas on the implementation of the Gaza peace plan.

Plus, Joe Pike and Ben Chu join Adam to break down Reform UK’s pitch to ban foreign nationals from accessing most benefits as part of their proposed welfare reforms. They claim the plans would save £21bn a year by its fifth year, but the government says the policy would plunge the UK “back into years of Brexit re-negotiations”.
