This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.
Hello, I'm Ankur Desai and in the early hours of the 12th of April, these are our main stories.
The US Vice President, J.D. Vance, has said marathon talks with Iran in Pakistan have not ended in a deal
to end the conflict in the Middle East.
Hungarians are voting in a parliamentary election that 's been keenly watched far beyond the boundaries of Europe,
with Prime Minister Viktor Orban facing a concerted effort to unseat him.
Also in this podcast.
I may have not learned everything that this journey has yet to teach me, but there's one new thing I know.
Planet Earth, you are a crew.
Four crew members of the Artemis Moon mission have been given an emotional news conference
at a welcome home ceremony in Houston.
Well, of course, all day it 's been all eyes on Islamabad in Pakistan,
where American and Iranian officials have been locked in hours of truly historic talks.
Talks aimed at not just bringing to a permanent end almost six weeks of war,
but at resetting relations between two countries, antagonising each other for 47 years since the Iranian revolution.
A reset with huge implications for the Middle East and possibly even more widely.
But after 21 hours, according to the US Vice President J.D. Vance,
it 's come to a crashing halt and the Americans are flying home.
We've had a number of substantive discussions with the Iranians.
That's the good news.
