It’s payday! Before you head out into the sunshine, a quick ask: The war footage we watch on ITV News, BBC News, Channel 4 News and Sky News is often captured by freelance journalists working in the most dangerous conditions. It’s a precarious existence. The @rorypecktrust is there to support them when things go wrong. On Sunday, Jack Abbey is running the London Marathon to raise money for that work. He’s bristling with enthusiasm and is unstoppable over 100m but has never run 26 miles in his life - which tells you everything about how much this matters. If you can, please give generously. 2026tcslondonmarathon.enthus…

Breaking: I just spoke to President Trump says he ‘feels good’ about the opening of the Strait but too bad he didn’t have help from NATO which he called a ‘paper tiger’. The Strait is not open as it pertains to Iran he told me. ‘We have to finish the deal before we open it for Iran’. In terms of where it leaves the US / UK relationship and with Sir Keir Starmer: “not good, not good at all” @itvnews

Exclusive: Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister @SKhatibzadeh tells me for @itvnews the Strait of Hormuz is open to all civilian shipping and reports it is closed are wrong. However, due to mines as a consequence of the war, all vessels need to liaise with Iran to be guided along safe routes. “Anybody who communicates with the Iranian authority has got permission to pass.”
