Trump and Iran have signed an initial deal

Newsday

Available for 29 days

President Trump and Iran's president have signed an initial deal aiming to end the war. The agreement includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz. But the issue of Iran's nuclear programme, the main reason stated by the US for the conflict, is still to be negotiated over an extendable 60-day period. We report on how the burials of Ebola victims are being conducted in the Democractic of Congo. The most infectious phase of Ebola is when an infected person dies, so how are the dead being handled? And we report from the World Cup. We are in Vancouver and looking at the Democratic Republic of Congo's 1-1 draw with Portugal and England's dominant performance against Croatia. Presenters: James Copnall and Catherine Byaruhanga (Photo: U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to the media upon arrival at Paris Orly airport, following the G7 Summit.
