Early this morning, Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire agreement had been reached between Israel and Iran.

Iran-Israel: Ceasefire collapse sparks Donald Trump F bomb rant live on TVThroughout this Tuesday, the situation between the Middle East and the US has been ever-changing. This morning, Trump announced a ceasefire had been reached. However, only hours after, Israel sounded a chilling warning after accusing Iran of violating the agreement.
Following the seeming collapse of his ceasefire deal, Trump launched into an expletive rant to reporters. The US president said he was "not happy" with Israel, and said both countries had violated the agreement. In comments broadcast live, he said both countries "don't know what the f*** they're doing".
The comments came after Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz ordered the Israel Defence Force to "respond forcefully to Iran's violation of the ceasefire with intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran". Iran also claimed Israel had violated the ceasefire. Trump insists it is back in effect, despite reports of explosions heard in Iran this afternoon.

Neil Young leaves BBC with Glastonbury headache as star makes unusual demandAs Glastonbury draws nearer, millions of eyes and ears will be drawn to the BBC's coverage from Worthy Farm. However, according to our Showbiz team, Neil Young could possibly be missing from TV screens across the UK as he headlines the Pyramid Stage.
The Heart of Gold singer, 79, is one of the biggest names on the bill but it is still unclear how much of his Saturday performance will be on TV. Young is still wrangling with the BBC about coverage. Insiders suspect he will agree to letting just a handful of songs go out on TV or BBC iPlayer.
Whether they will be live or part of an edited highlights package is still unclear. A BBC schedule of live sets released to the public omits Neil Young, while mentioning headliners such as Charli xcx and Doechii who play other stages on Saturday.

Brits must 'actively prepare' for war on UK soil, chilling government strategy warnsAs tension in the Middle East grows, a chilling government has warned that the British public must "actively prepare" for war on UK soil. Our politics team report that the newly-published National Security Strategy said the years ahead will test the nation - with a World War Two-style spirit needed to deal with growing threats.
It said tackling the danger of nuclear weapons will be "more complex than it was even in the Cold War". The document went on to warn that major powers like China and Russia are seeking to gain an upper hand in "outer space, cyberspace, the deep sea, and at the Arctic and Antarctic poles".
And the report also warned that hostile states may join forces with terror groups and criminals to carry out attacks on these shores. It states: "For the first time in many years, we have to actively prepare for the possibility of the UK homeland coming under direct threat, potentially in a wartime scenario."

Incredible winning design for huge memorial to late Queen finally revealed
This morning, our Royal team revealed that the incredible winning design for a huge central London memorial to commemorate Queen Elizabeth II had been unveiled. The memorial - which is set to transform St James’s Park - is being built to honour the life and service of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch.
Key features include a statue of the Queen in a new civic space called Queen Elizabeth II Place at Marlborough Gate, a new Prince Philip Gate on the other side of the park on Birdcage Walk with a statue of Philip, as well as a “family of gardens”, meandering paths and a new translucent, glass unity bridge.
The memorial bridge is inspired by the tiara Queen Elizabeth wore on her wedding day to the late Prince Philip in 1947. The tiara, known as the Queen Mary Fringe diamond tiara, famously broke just hours before she was due to walk down the aisle.

Over 100 Labour MPs have added their names to an amendment rejecting the reforms - raising the prospect of the first government defeat in the Commons. But speaking to reporters on the way to the NATO summit in The Hague on Tuesday, Mr Starmer said he would not pause the plans.
The PM said: "said: “We were elected to change what is broken in our country. The welfare system is broken, and that's why we will press ahead with our reforms."
