Outside Source

Available for 29 days

The Iranian president has said negotiations with the United States on ending the war will be meaningless if Israel maintains its attacks on Lebanon. Israel's prime minister has said he's prepared to begin peace talks with the Lebanese government -- with the focus on disarming Hezbollah. We hear from people inside Iran, and we speak to journalists in Lebanon. And four astronauts on Nasa’s Artemis II mission are heading home after a dramatic lunar flyby. The hosts of our space podcast, "13 Minutes Presents: Artemis II", explain what comes next. One of the biggest mysteries in publishing has been solved, after the best-selling US author known to millions of readers as Freida McFadden revealed her true identity. Presenter: James Reynolds.
