Trump hosts Netanyahu at White House

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The future of the Gaza ceasefire deal is in the balance as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets US President Donald Trump in the White House. We're live in Washington, assessing what both leaders want from the meeting. Also in the programme: A mass shooting in Sweden - in which around ten people were killed - has been described by the country's prime minister as the worst in the country's history. We have a report from Spain - where scientists are trying to protect Andalusia's olive trees from a bacteria that's helped to drive up the price of olive oil. And as rare earth metals get dragged into the US-China trade war - why is access to them so important?
