Will North Korea and China rethink their weapons programme after the US-Israeli attacks on Iran? Pyongyang has come under pressure from the US in recent years over its nuclear stance and China, experts believe, is expanding its arsenal. The US and Israel’s attacks on Iran are partly aimed at destroying Tehran’s nuclear weapons capability. We discuss what could be the potential impact on future nuclear strategy in the Asia region. Host Mariko Oi is joined by Dr Zhao Tong from the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Wall Street Journal reporter Dasl Yoon in South Korea.

  • It's 2009, and we're in the German mountains.

  • A man straps himself into a car on the world's most dangerous racetrack.

  • He whispers to himself, 'It's time to put my balls on the dashboard.'

  • As he starts the engine, in 15 minutes, he's in an ambulance, unconscious.

  • In 15 years, he's a billionaire.

  • This is Toto Wolff, Formula One's most powerful team boss

  • and the breakout star of "Drive to Survive."

  • This week on "Good Bad Billionaire," how Toto Wolff made his billions.

  • Listen wherever you get your BBC podcasts.

  • The US and Israel attack on Iran caused upheaval in the Middle East and

  • on global markets.

  • But long term, how will it change the way other countries think about their defense?

  • One of Washington's main justifications for attacking Iran was

  • to ruin the country's nuclear facilities and prevent it from ever obtaining nuclear weapons.

  • For decades, it had been the policy of the United States never

  • to allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon.

  • Since they seized control of that proud nation 47 years ago,

  • the regime and its murderous proxies have spread nothing but terrorism and death and hate.

  • So what message does the war send to nuclear powers in Asia?
