Podcast cover: Newscast

Newscast

A daily news podcast produced by BBC News that provides in-depth analysis of the day’s most significant stories. Launched on February 6, 2020, it has evolved from its origins as Electioncast and Brexitcast, reflecting the changing political landscape in the UK, particularly following Brexit.

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?
