Newshour - Trump says he wants “a real end” to Israel Iran fighting

President Trump says he wants "a real end" to the fighting between Israel and Iran, not just a ceasefire. He said Iran should have done a deal with the US over its nuclear programme and he is now little inclined to negotiate. Mr Trump has returned early from the G7 summit in Canada because of the Middle East crisis. Meanwhile, Israel says it has killed Iran’s military chief of staff, Ali Shadmani, in a strike on central Tehran.

Also in the programme: The lost papers of a maths genius, saved from the shredder; and some spectacular finds at a Viking- age burial site in Denmark.

Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Teen Perspective On Snap Curfew, ‘Teen Takeovers’

Do you remember where you and your friends used to go to hangout after school? Many teenagers face the dilemma of not having a space to go spend time with friends besides school or home.

In some instances these gatherings have become violent.
