Israel and Lebanon renew ceasefire agreement

Newsday

Available for 28 days

Israel and Lebanon agree to implement a conditional ceasefire if Hezbollah stops attacks on Israel. We look at the chances of success without Hezbollah's involvement. House Republicans join Democrats to curb President Trump's war powers in Iran. The move is seen as a sign of the growing opposition to the military campaign now in it's fourth month. We look at how this reflects the views of Americans who are counting the cost of the war. We speak to a Venezuelan opposition activist about continuing anti government demonstrations in his country. And we look at the price set by rocket maker SpaceX for it's initial public offering next week. It's likely to make Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire. Presenters: Anne Soy and James Copnall (Photo: A meeting between Israeli and Lebanese delegations hosted by the United States. Credit: Nathan Howard/Reuters).
