Koreas agree talks to defuse tension

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

North and South Korea have held their first talks for more than two years. Is this a real chance to engage with Pyongyang? Or should the US consider its military options? The former White House advisor, Steve Bannon, has stepped down as the head of a right-wing news website over remarks he made about President Trump. Where does this leave Breitbart? And a Japanese astronaut says he's grown 9cms in space -- but there may be problems ahead. We hear from the first Briton in space Helen Sharman. (Photo: North Korean figure skaters Credit: Reuters).
