- James O'Brien reacts as Donald Trump threatens to bomb one ally and abandon another.
The President threatened to 'bomb the s***' out of Oman if they 'get in the way' of a peace deal with Tehran.
Trump reportedly made the threat in response to a reporter's question, as hostilities between the countries continue and both sides push for control of the Strait of Hormuz.
This comes as South Korea's President calls for stronger independent defence capabilities after the US President said Kim Jong-Un is a 'very good friend of his'.
He also announced plans to withdraw form joint military drills with South Korea.

- Donald Trump has threatened to bomb Oman if the US ally "gets in the way" of a peace deal with Tehran.
The US president reportedly made the threat in response to a reporter's question, as hostilities between the countries continue and both sides push for control of the Strait of Hormuz.
Trey Yingst, a reporter for Fox, said: "I asked the president about ... parallel talks that are taking place between Iran and Oman about control of the Strait of Hormuz."
In response, he says Trump quipped: "If Oman gets in the way, we'll bomb the s*** out of them."
This comes as the 60-day deadline for a peace deal between the US and Tehran, which was set for Monday, has come to a close with no breakthrough in sight.
Neither Washington nor Tehran have expressed a desire for an extension, and both their positions over the strait, as well as the Islamic Republic’s nuclear programme, continue to be at odds.

He takes aim at Richard Tice’s comments on the heatwave, arguing that denying the impact of man-made climate change is “anti-science”, while warning that the consequences are already being felt across the UK.
Asked about recent extreme heat, Reform UK's Tice said, “Climate change has always happened. It always will. Maybe the smarter thing to do is to adapt to it than think arrogantly that you can stop it. [...] When it’s a bit warm, let’s enjoy it. And if it means that English wine and sparkling wine gets better and better, fantastic. That means we can take on the French – fantastic. Let’s celebrate some of these things rather than just be sort of doom and gloom about it.”
Dale also discusses extreme heat, the burning of fossil fuels and what governments should be doing to tackle climate change.

He observes that 'two things can be true' - 'they found things he [Arday] needed to be held accountable for - and it began with a racist'.
Professor Arday, 41, had resigned from his post as the Professor of Sociology of Education last week after allegations of plagiarism were made against him.
He was pronounced dead after emergency services were called to an address in Battersea, south London, on Friday following reports that a man had been found unresponsive inside a property.

As the boat – which was designed for a maximum of 40 people – was battered by choppy waters, at least 30 people were flung into the English Channel.
The new details of the perilous crossing emerged as ministers prepared for even more arrivals of large craft carrying hundreds of people across the Channel.
Multiple police and gendarmes watched as hundreds of people boarded the overloaded 'mega-dinghy' on Sunday.
French lifeboatmen described how scores of men, women and children originally boarded on a beach between Berck-sur-Mer and Merlimont, south of Le Touquet, on Sunday afternoon.

- Nick Ferrari goes back through the archives and asks: Is the shine beginning to come off Reform's leader?
The parliamentary watchdog has reopened its investigation into Nigel Farage's finances just hours after he was declared winner of the Clacton by-election.
The probe was paused when he stepped down as an MP - only to announce that he would stand in another contest for the Essex seat.

- Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has refused to attend the Clacton by-election amid claims that the declaration would be disrupted.
He claimed at a Reform-organised pop-up event that he had been advised by Essex Police that there would be an attempt to disrupt the declaration, expected in the morning.
But despite Reform's press office claiming there was a "credible threat" to Mr Farage, it is understood that Essex Police has not advised any candidate to stay away from the count.
The force said it had "a proportionate and robust policing operation to ensure the safety and security of all participants" at Clacton.
Tendring District Council's returning officer Ian Davidson has also contradicted the claims.
Former Reform UK Deputy Leader and head of Advance UK, Ben Habib, gives Shelagh Fogarty his take on his former ally's behaviour.
