Iran quits part of nuclear deal

News and issues making the headlines each day.

Iran has pulled out of key commitments under the 2015 international nuclear deal, a year after it was abandoned by the US.

The announcement comes after US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo made an unscheduled visit to Iraq, and a US aircraft carrier was deployed to the Gulf region.

Also on the programme: South Africans head to the polls for parliamentary elections; and a new film about a woman who overcame illness to swim seven of the most dangerous sea channels in one year
