A group of about 45 people from Bradford say they have been "abandoned" by the UK government after being caught amid escalating military action between Israel and Iran. The group, led by the Muslim Women's Council, travelled to Jerusalem on 9 June for a spiritual visit to Al-Aqsa Mosque and to promote peace.

The Kremlin said on Tuesday that it saw that Israel did not want mediation efforts over its conflict with Iran, now in its fifth day amid what Moscow said was "galloping escalation".

G7 leaders have reiterated their stance on Iran’s nuclear enrichment programme, saying the country would not be allowed to be a nuclear-armed state, even as they called for de-escalation in the Middle East,
