Episode description

US Vice President JD Vance has said the US will continue to negotiate with Iran, with President Trump on the lookout for a "bargain".

Vance was in Islamabad last weekend for the negotiations with Iran, which lasted 21 hours, and despite not reaching a formal resolution, he claimed the US made a "ton of progress".

Details of the King and Queen's state visit to the US have been released.

The number of asylum hotels has fallen to 185 after the Government confirmed 11 will no longer be used to house people seeking asylum.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting says the NHS has a problem with "basic, everyday sexism". He is introducing changes to stop women from being "ignored, gaslit, humiliated and disrespected".

Researchers, from Uppsala, Mälardalen and Linköping universities in Sweden and the University of South Carolina in the United States, claim that each nation have their own "moral taste buds" which mean they find different behaviours more or less frustrating.
