BBC Verify Live: Analysing new images of Iran nuclear sites, and latest data on speeding drivers
Update: Date: 09:41 BST Title: New satellite images released of Iran's nuclear sites Content: This satellite image of the Isfahan facility taken on 24 June shows damage to the tunnel entrances, according to Maxar BBC Verify has received a new set of satellite images overnight showing Iran's nuclear sites at Isfahan, Fordo and Natanz. These were the sites targeted by the US military at the weekend using B-2 bombers and cruise missiles, and have also been targeted by Israeli air strikes. US President Donald Trump has insisted that the American attack left the facilities 'completely destroyed'. High resolution satellite images released by Maxar Technologies show damage to buildings both under and above ground and their access roads and tunnels. Our team has started analysing the images to understand the extent of damage and how the latest strikes affect the use of these sites. We're also sending them to experts outside the BBC for their take on what the images show. Update: Date: 09:23 BST Title: Welcome to Wednesday's BBC Verify Live Content: Rob CorpBBC Verify Live editor Good morning from the team in the London newsroom. We're currently working through new satellite imagery of Iran's nuclear sites following the weekend's US bombings and subsequent Israeli air attacks. We've sent the pictures to a number of experts to get their analysis of the damage. It's especially timely given a leaked intelligence report suggested the US operation may have only set Iran's nuclear programme back by months. Elsewhere we're waiting on new data showing the percentage of cars in England that break the speed limit. Last year's figures showed around four-fifths broke the limit in 20mph zones and nearly half on 30mph roads. And we're across the Nato summit in the Netherlands and the continuing debate about boosting the amount members spend on defence.

Satellite Images Suggest US Avoided Iran's Nuclear Reactors
For all of the destruction the US Air Force visited on Iran's nuclear program, satellite images show that military planners were careful not to hit reactors at a key research facility. Notably absent from the latest International Atomic Energy Agency's damage report are three research reactors operating at the Isfahan Nuclear Technology and Research Center. One of the so-called miniature neutron source reactors, made by China in 1991, runs on 900 grams (2 pounds) of bomb-grade uranium.
