From PRI, Public Radio International and KCRW Santa Monica, this is To the Point.

In Britain, attempted terror. In Iran, opportunity.

Hello again, I'm Orman Alney, and this is To the Point from Public Radio International,

a daily look at the issues Americans care about most.

British officials say the same men who attacked Glasgow's airport in a flaming car

also rigged two cars to explode in London the day before.

Seven people have been arrested in those attacks, two of them doctors.

We'll hear more about the investigation and what it could mean for the U.S.

Also today, despite a recent crackdown on cultural openness and public dissent, gasoline

rationing has caused widespread unrest in Iran. Is this the moment to step up international pressure

in hopes of regime change? Or is it an opportunity to approach Iranian moderates who want to help stabilize

Iraq and Afghanistan? First, the news.

Support for To the Point comes from subscribers of KCRW Santa Monica and from the Public Radio

International Program Fund, whose contributors include the Ford Foundation and the John D.

and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. Hello again, I'm in only back with To the Point.

That's the second half of today's program. First, the aftermath of aborted terrorist acts in the U.K.

Friday in London and to Saturday's attack on the Glasgow Airport with the flaming Jeep Cherokee.

Here's Gordon Brown's newly installed Home Secretary Jackie Smith addressing Parliament today.
