Newsday

Available for 29 days

President Trump says he is winning a war by 'a lot' and says he is NOT under pressure to make a deal with Iran. It's still unclear whether negotiations there will take place. Iran's chief negotiator has said Tehran will not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats. We'll also be looking at suggestions there are divisions among Iran's leadership on what kind of agreement they should strike with the US. The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon continues to hold - we'll hear how one businesswoman is managing to keep her restaurant open and her staff paid.
