US-Iran Talks Fail... What Happens Next?

from Newscast Hosted by BBC News

Today, we look at what the failure to reach an agreement between the US and Iran means for the war in the Middle East and the world. We also look at what stopped an agreement between the two sides, after differing accounts emerge. Victoria Derbyshire and Nick Watt are joined by political correspondent Joe Pike, who has the latest on the UK-US row over the Chagos Islands. And could an election in Hungary reshape political power in Europe? You can now listen to Newscast on a smart speaker. If you want to listen, just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play Newscast”.
