The United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, says he's willing to travel to Tehran to speak directly to the Iranian people despite growing tensions between the two countries. The President of El Salvador is calling on young men to leave criminal gangs or perish with them. He said the gangs have terrorised the country for decades and would be dismantled.
