The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The UK Health Security Agency says two British passengers who were on board the MV Hondius, the cruise ship at the centre of a deadly hantavirus outbreak, are back in the UK and self-isolating at home. We hear from our correspondent and from a cruise ship medic. Also on the programme: Iran says it's reviewing new US peace proposals as Donald Trump talks up a possible deal. And we hear about the German man who's struck a blow for victims - of all natonalities - of sunbed hogging.
