Newsday

Available for 29 days

US-Iran ceasefire has come under strain after the two sides exchanged fire. It's unclear who fired first. Iran accuses the US of violating the truce but President Trump says ceasefire is still in place. We'll get the latest from the region. Israel has issued new orders to residents of parts of South Lebanon to evacuate amid rising concern over the killing of civilians and the targeting of civilian infrastructure in what the UN says raises concerns about international law. We'll speak to a representative of the UN office for the coordination of humanitarian affairs. And could local elections in the UK bring an end to the two-party domination. Our politics correspondent will bring us all the latest results and analysis.
