Iran ceasefire strain over Lebanon

Newsday

Available for 29 days

Israel and Hezbollah continue strikes against each other putting a fragile two week ceasefire to the test as the US and Israel contradict Iran saying Lebanon is not included in the ceasefire deal. We get a view from Israel. We go to the United States to find out what law makers are saying about the latest ceasefire between the US, Iran and Israel. And the crew of Nasa’s Artemis II mission are said to be in “high spirits” as they make their return journey to Earth having journeyed around the Moon. We speak to the wife of one of the astronauts. Presenters: Andrew Peach and Anne Soy.
