Today, we look at a report that suggests the US could review its position on Britain's claim to the Falkland Islands. An internal Pentagon email reported by Reuters suggested the US was considering options to punish Nato allies it believed had failed to support its war on Iran. The options discussed also included seeking Spain's suspension from Nato over its opposition to the war. BBC News has not been able to review the email. In this special episode, five of the Newscast gang are together for a special programme from the BBC’s Maida Vale Studios in London as part of Cast Fest. Adam, Chris, Laura, Paddy, and Henry also discuss whether the King’s visit to the US next week could smooth things over. You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker.
