US says Israel and Hezbollah close to ceasefire deal

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

US officials expressed cautious optimism that Israel and Hezbollah would agree to a 60-day ceasefire deal. The Israeli cabinet will discuss the deal tomorrow. It would see Israel withdraw from southern Lebanon while Hezbollah would vacate the area close to the border. In the UK, the Supreme Court will begin a hearing tomorrow on the legal definition of a woman. It's been brought by a campaign group in Scotland over a piece of Scottish legislation that means anyone with an appropriate Gender Recognition Certificate is considered a woman. And 40 years since the original, the "ultimate mix" of Band Aid has been released. But is the message of the song out of date?
