Newsday

Available for 27 days

The discussions on Tuesday will involve the US special envoy Steve Witkoff and President Trump’s son in law, Jared Kushner. Earlier, Iran's deputy foreign minister said his government was open to compromise if sanctions were lifted, but would not discuss its ballistic missile programme. The alleged gunman of the Bondi Beach shooting in Australia, Naveed Akram, has appeared via video link at a magistrate court for the first time - we'll speak to our correspondent in Sydney as the community there still reels from that tragic day. And Nick Marsh on our Singapore Business Desk will have more on US pop star Taylor Swift blocking bedding brand from using 'Swift Home' trademark.
