Biden blocks weapons to Israel, the dire state of Iran's economy, war correspondent responds to Civil War film

On today's episode, we speak to our Middle East correspondent
Natalia Vasilyeva in Jerusalem on Israel's impending assault on
Rafa and Biden's threats to halt weapons supplies to Israel.
Then, we hear from Jumana Shahin, a Gaza resident who's fled to
Egypt to protect herself and her young daughter. Then, we
speak to our economics reporter Melissa Lawford on the dire state
of Iran's economy. And finally, I talk to senior foreign
correspondent Roland Oliphant, who recently saw the film Civil
War, directed by Andrew Garland. Roland, as a war reporter,
had some thoughts on the film and he shares them with us.
