US-Iran talks due to take place, President Trump says

President Trump says talks with Iran will take place later today. He told journalists his latest decision to hold off ordering US forces to carry out new strikes came at the urging of Gulf Arab allies who 'think there’s a deal'. Iran hasn't commented on Mr Trump's remarks. Oil prices have fallen by more than five per cent.

Today's Dharshini David hears more from Middle East correspondent Yolande Knell.
