Newsday

Available for 29 days

President Trump has called off strikes in Iran. He told reporters that talks aimed at ending the war with Iran would start today. We look at what part regional players are having on negotiations to end the conflict. Hungary was forced to temporarily shut down its only nuclear reactor after water levels on the Danube dropped to a record low. We look at the drought conditions and how they are being dealt with by Europe. And the price paid by paramedics and emergency workers in Lebanon during the Isreali Hezbollah conflict.
