Good morning. US President Donald Trump insists nuclear sites in Iran were "completely destroyed" by US military strikes, despite an intelligence evaluation casting doubt on their success. Today at the Nato summit in the Hague, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will announce the purchase of 12 new fighter jets. And read on for images of a new species of dinosaur that's about to go on display in London.

Donald Trump has responded to reports about a leaked intelligence assessment on the US strike on Iran. Posting on Truth Social, Trump lashed out at the US media and their reporting, insisting that Saturday's strikes were "one of the most successful military strikes in history" which "completely destroyed" Iranian nuclear sites. But a new intelligence report produced by the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency has cast doubt on this claim. Its findings state that the strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities did not destroy the country's nuclear programme, and have probably only set it back by months. Meanwhile, a ceasefire between Israel and Iran seems to be holding, with both nations acknowledging it is in place.

At the Nato summit taking place this week in the Netherlands, Keir Starmer will announce the UK is to purchase 12 new fighter jets which can be equipped with nuclear bombs, and join Nato's airborne nuclear mission. Downing Street says the move is "the biggest strengthening of the UK's nuclear posture in a generation". 

A report has found the government has taken "insufficient action" to ensure people entitled to compensation as a result of the Post Office scandal have applied for it. The Public Accounts Committee, which has examined payouts, noted that many of the wrongly-accused or convicted sub-postmasters were yet to receive "fair and timely" redress. See the findings .
