Newsday

Available for 29 days

The White House says talks on extending the ceasefire between the United States and Iran are “productive” and continuing just hours after Pakistani mediators arrived in Tehran. The current two-week truce is due to expire next Wednesday. We report from Iran. We also look at the talks taking place between Israel and Lebanon. The first direct negotations between the two sides in decades. And we head to Cameroon where Pope Leo has been greeted by the faithful in churches and community events. Presenters: James Copnall and Catherine Byaruhanga.
