Donald Trump says Iran has "no choice but to send" delegates to Pakistan for talks with the US. In an interview with CNBC, the president says he is confident the US will "end up with a great deal". We take a walk to our colleagues at BBC Persian for the latest on the talks. Children aged 17 or younger will face a lifelong ban on buying cigarettes in the UK. Our health editor explains. Apple has named John Ternus as its new chief executive to replace Tim Cook, who is stepping down after 15 years of leading the technology giant. Our tech editor joins us. And we take a walk around the BBC's newsroom in London to speak to our reporters to find out what they are working on today. One of the stories is a ruling from the European Union's top court, which says an anti-LGBTQ+ law in Hungary breaches EU rules. Outside Source presenter: James Reynolds.
