President Trump said negotiations to end the war with Iran were taking place. Iran has told the United Nations that it would allow "non-hostile" commercial shipping to cross the Strait of Hormuz. Jetstar New Zealand has apologised after cancelling some domestic services and flights between Australia and New Zealand due to what it says are rising jet fuel prices. The Ghanaian president, John Dramani Mahama, has accused the Trump administration of "normalising the erasure of Black history". We speak to Ghana's foreign minister.
