Iran's foreign minister says the Strait of Hormuz is "completely open" to commercial ships as long as the ceasefire remains in place. But the US president Donald Trump said the US blockade of the strait will continue until a deal is made. The announcement comes as European leaders came together to promote a unified message that the strait must be opened without tolls and without restrictions. Also in the programme: We'll look at the ceasefire brokered between Lebanon and Israel and how people on both sides have reacted; the UK prime minister comes under renewed pressure over his former US ambassador; and why the Strait of Gibraltar is a treasure-trove of shipwrecks.
