Newsday

Available for 29 days

The US Senate has approved a measure requiring Donald Trump to halt the war in Iran or seek congressional approval to continue military action. The US House of Representatives passed the same measure earlier this month. We report from the World Cup tournament where in the latest matches, England drew with Ghana and Cristiano Ronaldo tells his critics "I'm back" as Portugal beats Uzbekistan 5-0. And in Democratic House primaries in New York, candidates backed by New York Mayor Zohran Mandani have won. Presenters: James Copnall and Anne Soy.
