The US and Iran have announced a two-week ceasefire in their conflict, with each side claiming victory. With the Strait of Hormuz now being opened up for safe passage, under Iranian military management. We get reaction from Tehran. Israel says it supports President's Trump's decision to suspend strikes on Iran but says the two week ceasefire does not include Lebanon. And we look at how the oil markets have reacted to the news.
