  • You're listening to the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.

  • Hello, I'm Oliver Conway.

  • This edition is published in the early hours of Thursday the 19th of June.

  • President Trump says he'll decide whether to attack Iran at the final second.

  • Iran has warned America not to get involved.

  • We'll look at the possible US bombing plan and ask if negotiations are still possible.

  • Also in the podcast, once known as the Russian Davos,

  • the St Petersburg International Economic Forum fails to attract Western business leaders.

  • And later... 285, I'm sorry, you just missed the first prize in Thailand.

  • 109, which is not...

  • No, I haven't got that either.

  • Maybe next time.

  • Why Thailand is planning to overturn its ban on gambling.

  • President Trump says his patience with Iran has already run out,

  • but he still hasn't decided whether to attack.

  • I like to make the final decision one second before it's due, because things change, he said.

  • The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the president has already approved strike plans,

  • but not yet given the final order to give Iran a chance to abandon its nuclear programme.

  • There are reports that the Iranian foreign minister would be willing to meet US officials to discuss a ceasefire.

  • However, that may not be enough to win over President Trump.
