US could rescind support for British sovereignty in Falklands

An internal Pentagon email has emerged outlining possible options for the United States to punish NATO allies it believes have not supported the war in Iran. The proposals include reassessing Washington's position on Britain's claim to the Falkland Islands. We speak to a Falkland Islander, a former deputy Chief of Staff to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and the former head of the Royal Navy. The daughter of George Robledo, one of the first foreign footballers in the English game, will receive an award to recognise his contribution tomorrow ahead of the FA Cup Semi-Final in Wembley. We speak to her. And Rachel Goldberg-Polin, the mother of Hersh, describes the agony over her son's abduction and murder after the October 7th attacks on Israel.
