Iran Israel ceasefire holds at end of first day

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

At the end of the first day of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran brokered by US President Donald Trump, early violations have given way to relative calm. Trump issued an expletive-laden rebuke to the two countries earlier in the day. He's claiming success in what he's called the "12 Day War", we ask where it's left Benjamin Netanyahu and the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Also tonight, as the government faces its largest rebellion so far over reforms to welfare, we speak to an MP supportive of the changes. And French President Macron wants UNESCO to recognise French techno music, we speak to producer and DJ Stuart Price about the genre.
