Stranded dogs in Dubai: What's the situation?

Tom Swarbrick is joined by Pen Farthing British former Royal Marines commando and founder of the Nowzad Dogs charity. They discuss the latest situation with people's pets stranded in countries in the Middle East, focusing on Dubai. Thousands of cruise passengers are also said to be trapped in ports in the Gulf as the war in the Middle East causes travel chaos. Passengers and crews have been left unable to leave their ships after escalating tension raised safety fears in the Strait of Hormuz - one of the world's most crucial shipping lanes between Iran and Oman. At least six ships from big companies are said to be stationary, awaiting news of when they can depart. With no viable exit routes or "safe corridors" open at the moment, the ships remain trapped. It comes as Britain's response to the Iran war was slammed as "weak" by allies across the Middle East, as nations criticise Sir Keir Starmer for failing to do enough to protect the region from Iranian missiles.
