President Trump says India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire -- after four days of cross border attacks. He said the agreement had been reached after a long night of talks mediated by the United States. Mr Trump congratulated both sides on "using common sense and great intelligence." Pakistan's foreign minister Ishaq Dar confirmed the agreement, saying Islamabad had always strived for peace and security, without compromising on its sovereignty and territorial integrity. There's been no word yet from India. Also in the programme: The Syrian Jews visiting Damascus; and the Soviet spacecraft that's fallen back to Earth.

  • Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.

  • Coming to you live from London, I'm James Kamara-Samia.

  • As we come on air,

  • potentially a significant development in the conflict that is developing between India and Pakistan.

  • It's over that unresolved territorial dispute over the Himalayan region of Kashmir.

  • A dispute that's led to three wars and regular skirmishes between India and Pakistan over the decades.

  • What happened overnight has suggested this is the most serious conflict between the two nuclear armed powers.

  • But in the last few minutes,

  • President Trump has suggested on social media that India and Pakistan have agreed to a full and immediate ceasefire.

  • We'll see what we can determine about that.

  • First, though, just a reminder of the immediate background to what's been happening.

  • Last month, gunmen killed 26 people, most of them Indian tourists,

  • at the Pelagam beauty spot in Indian-administered Kashmir.

  • Eyewitnesses said the attackers had singled out Hindu men.

  • India promised to avenge those deaths.

  • It accused Pakistan of being behind the attack.

  • Islamabad denied involvement.

  • Well, early last week, the form of that revenge began to take shape.

  • India carried out missile strikes on what it said were nine terrorist training camps inside Pakistan,

  • and Pakistan administered Kashmir.
