Iran and US trade strikes in the Gulf

BBC Newshour | Sep 2
Iran and the US trade strikes in the most intense round of attacks in weeks. Iran says the US struck a wedding party killing children, while Iran hits US bases in the gulf. Also in the programme: the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier docks in Thailand and 5,000 sailors finally get a break in nearby Pattaya after 286 days at sea; our correspondent is there too; we speak to a friend of Joshua Wong, the face of Hong Kong's pro democracy movement, who has just pleaded guilty to foreign collusion; and in football, the English Premier League transfer window breaks another spending record.
