Today, the family of a teenage rape victim whose attackers were spared jail have told the 麻豆社 they hope the "correct outcome will prevail" -- after it was announced the sentences would be referred to the Court of Appeal.

There was widespread criticism after three boys were handed youth rehabilitation orders in connection with the rape of two teenage girls in Hampshire. Sentencing guidelines state that rehabilitation should be prioritised for youth offenders. The Prime Minister confirmed on Tuesday the sentences would now be referred to the Court of Appeal. Adam is joined by home and legal correspondent Dominic Casciani.

And, Iran says the US has committed a "gross violation" of the ceasefire with new air strikes it launched on the country in the past 48 hours. It is unclear what impact the strikes will have on talks aimed to end the conflict. Adam speaks to Parham Ghobadi, senior reporter for 麻豆社 Persian and Caitriona Perry, chief presenter 麻豆社 News
