Inside the media coverage of the Iran strikes, why so many journalists missed the Green Party鈥檚 Denton upset, and Sir John Tusa on launching a podcast with fellow nonagenarians.

Katie Razzall hears how the conflict in the Middle East is being covered across the region with staff from the 麻豆社 Monitoring Unit.
Christina Lamb, Chief Foreign Correspondent at the Sunday Times, Aaron Bastani from Novara Media and broadcaster Sir John Tusa discuss whether day to day crisis reporting is crowding out the deeper story of geopolitical realignment.
We also discuss whether the were media blind spots behind the Green Party鈥檚 shock win in Gorton and Denton.
And Sir John Tusa returns to talk about his new podcast The Best Is Yet to Come - why he鈥檚 interviewing the over 90s, and what a lifetime in broadcasting has taught him about how the media should evolve.
