US President Donald Trump is hosting the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan at the White House. In 2023 Azerbaijan took full control of the contested area of Nagorno-Karabakh - so what's in a peace deal for both sides, and for the US? Also on the programme: a former officer in the Israeli military analyses Prime Minister Netanyahu’s plan to fully occupy Gaza City; and could there be a giant gas planet near Earth with moons that could support life?

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

  • This is Owen Bennett-Jones,

  • and later on we'll be hearing about that new evidence of a giant gas planet in Earth's neighbourhood,

  • relatively speaking, and we'll look back at the life of the NASA astronaut Jim Lovell,

  • who's died at the age of 97.

  • But we begin with Armenia and Azerbaijan,

  • because never the most bashful of politicians, President Trump...

  • This week is promoting himself as a peacemaker and in that area too.

  • With his eye, many believe, on a Nobel Peace Prize.

  • Ceasefires in Ukraine and Gaza have proved elusive.

  • But last month, standing beside Secretary of State Marco Rubio,

  • President Trump said his administration was making progress on a series of international disputes.

  • Look, we did a job with India and Pakistan and Serbia, Kosovo, Rwanda and the Congo.

  • And this was all over the last three weeks or so, Marco.

  • Right.

  • We did.

  • And others that were ready to fight.

  • So in that vein,

  • he is hosting the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia in the White House today with a view to signing a peace deal.

  • The tensions between the two countries are really complex by any standards.
