Israel and Hezbollah agree to ceasefire

Israel and Hezbollah have agreed to a ceasefire after a day of intensive hostilities.

Israel and the armed Lebanese group Hezbollah have agreed to a ceasefire, a senior US official has confirmed to the 麻豆社. The agreement follows concerns that continued fighting in Lebanon could undermine the deal between the US and Iran, which calls for an end to military operations on all fronts, including Lebanon. We get reaction from Lebanon and hear from Israelis.

We also bring together Americans who voted for President Trump for their assessment of the US deal with Iran.

Health officials in the Democratic Republic of Congo have told the 麻豆社 that a six-year-old Ebola patient who was abducted from a hospital by armed men has been released and is now receiving treatment. We speak to our colleagues who have been reporting from the Ebola-affected region in the DRC.

Italy鈥檚 top diplomat has cancelled a trip to the US, accusing President Trump of insulting Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Our reporter explains.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
