  • of Hormuz as a shaky ceasefire continues.

  • With Israel and Hezbollah continuing to exchange fire, what's prompted Benjamin Netanyahu to agree to peace talks?

  • And why Cuba's missionary doctors abroad are being sent home?

  • Also in this podcast.

  • The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today.

  • Why has Melania Trump suddenly denied having a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein?

  • We begin with the ceasefire between the US, Israel and Iran and the attacks which threaten to destabilise it.

  • Fresh Israeli strikes have been reported across Lebanon,

  • despite international pleas for the country to be included in this week's ceasefire.

  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to talks between the two countries.
