Available for 24 days

US President Donald Trump says negotiations to end the Iran war are happening "right now" and Tehran is "talking sense". His comments come a day after Iranian officials denied any contact with the US had taken place, calling claims of talks "fake news". Also on the programme: We hear from expectant mothers in Havana about the impact of the US blockade on their care; and the Virunga National Park in the DRC is celebrating the rare birth of its second set of mountain gorilla twins.
