Summary
Overnight nearly 180 missiles were targeted at Israel by Iran - revenge for the killing of Hizbollah leader, Nasrallah, last week. Western governments have offered their help to Israel - calling it an existential fight for survival. What will Israel do next? How long will their invasion of Lebanon go on? Is Russia involved and was the assassination of Nasrallah helped by an insider? All these questions...Luckily, Mark Urban is at hand.
Later in the show, the Tories are wrapping up their conference with a very different predicted outcome to the one many were expecting. Who's going to make it through to the members vote?

| 0:09.0 | This is a global player original podcast. |
| 0:12.6 | Good evening and welcome. It was Iran who struck tonight in the ever-spirling cycle of violence in the Middle East. |
| 0:18.7 | The US says around 200 Iranian ballistic missiles launched |
| 0:22.9 | from Iran, rain down across Israel this evening, sending people running for cover. |
| 0:28.6 | And you could watch it live on TV. The missiles coming in, the shrapnel everywhere, the explosions |
| 0:37.0 | in the distance. And yet, at the end of it, |
| 0:42.0 | one Palestinian died in the West Bank and a few others suffered light injuries. So was this an Iranian |
| 0:50.9 | misfire or Israeli success or something else? |
| 0:55.2 | Iran says the attack was a response to the killing by Israel of Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, |

| 1:33.1 | He missed the train. He slept in. No, he's actually been listening to the last round of the leadership speeches. |
| 1:39.5 | It was a sort of culmination today at the Tory Party conference where you heard from each of them, one after another, on the main stage before it goes to that final vote, which ends up with two candidates |
| 1:50.1 | being put forward to the Conservative membership. That's to come. So let us start, though, |
| 1:54.5 | with the events last night across Israel, where with very little notice and little warning, suddenly Iran launches a massive ballistic |
