Trump extends Iran ceasefire

Newsday

Available for 29 days

President Trump has said he will extend the ceasefire with Iran until talks between the two countries have progressed. He said the blockade of Iranian ports will also continue until Tehran presents a "unified proposal". We have a report from Tehran. We speak to a group representing military veterans who staged a protest in the congress building in Washington DC to protest Congressional backing for the war. And we speak to a survivor of a deadly Hong Kong fire. It was one of the worst in the territory's history that claimed more than 160 lives. Presenters: James Copnall and Catherine Byaruhanga.
