Draft Framework for Afghanistan Peace 'Agreed'

US and Taliban negotiators have agreed on a draft framework for a peace deal seeking to put an end to the 17-year conflict in Afghanistan, according to Washington's top negotiator. The Afghan President Ashraf Ghani has called for Taliban insurgents to have "serious talks” with his government to reach a “speedy peace.”

Also in the programme: concern about the global spread of antibiotic resistance, and we hear from the wife of a Chinese lawyer jailed for 'state subversion'.
