Newsday

Available for 29 days

Talks were due to take in Iran's nuclear programme and the withdrawal of regional US forces. The initial accord - which has begun opening up the Strait of Hormuz - has prompted significant criticism in the US - but praise from the leadership in Iran. We'll hear about the ebola outbreak in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of Congo, talking to a priest to hear how the work of the church is affected, from burials to sharing wine and food. And I'm Isaac Fanin in Vancouver, where we saw Canada make World Cup history with a spell binding 6-0 victory, as Mexico becomes the first country to qualify for knock our stages.
