US Vice President JD Vance has arrived in Islamabad alongside the US delegation. Peace talks are due to begin in Pakistan’s capital today. Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf has said a ceasefire in Lebanon and the release of Tehran’s frozen assets must happen before negotiations begin.
Also in the programme: after a “textbook touchdown”, the four astronauts of the Artemis II lunar mission have safely returned to Earth; and scientists are predicting a change in global weather patterns later this year, caused by an expected El Niño event.
Presenter Julian Worricker is joined Dr Roxane Farmanfarmaian, a professor of international politics and specialist on the Middle East at the University of Cambridge, and Jeanna Smialek, Brussels bureau chief at The New York Times.
