Amman, which is acting as mediator, says the negotiations will resume on Thursday evening. This third round is being viewed by some as a last chance for diplomacy. Our chief international correspondent Lise Doucette is in Switzerland covering the negotiations for us.

The committee in the US Congress, which is investigating the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, will hear evidence from two of the most important figures in American politics, Bill and Hillary Clinton. She will give evidence on Thursday, while the former president will do so on Friday.

Clinton's feature in the millions of documents released on Epstein. But this doesn't imply any wrongdoing. Mr. Clinton said that he broke ties with him before he was convicted of child sex offenses in 2008. Mr. Clinton also denies any knowledge of the crimes of Epstein who killed himself in 2019.

There are photographs of the former president in a hot tub with a woman and a swimming pool with Maxwell. The Democratic Congresswoman Yasamin Ansari serves on the committee, and she was asked if she thought Mr. Clinton knew about Epstein's behavior.

Clintons had initially resisted appearing before the Republican-led House Oversight Committee, but they agreed after Republicans threatened to hold them in criminal contempt of Congress. Mrs. Clinton, a former U.S. Secretary of State, told the BBC that they had nothing to hide. With more, here's our North America editor, Sarah Smith.

Every five years the ruling Communist Party in North Korea holds its congress. It wrapped up with a military parade in the capital Pyongyang. During the week-long gathering there was the usual roaring approval for the leadership.

He said that the two countries could get along well, should Washington recognize Pyongyang as a nuclear power. Last year, Mr. Trump said he was 100% open to a meeting with the North Korean leader. I asked our correspondent in Seoul, Jake Kwon, what else Mr. Kim had said.

Kim Jong-un also had said that he is going to make more nuclear weapons and missiles, that his nuclear bombs are not going away anytime soon. And then he also laid out some wish list of the weapons he wants to acquire in the next five years. He said that he's going to have weapons.

a nuclear submarine that can launch missiles from anywhere on earth, that can hit anywhere on earth, and also missiles that could hit enemy satellites in the sky. So he laid out some of these ambitious plans, and at the same time he was saying to the United States that if you accept this as the path of North Korea, then we can get along, we can do some talks. And this is happening, as you said, there's some speculation that Donald Trump might be willing to see

Ja sit down with Kim Jong-un again. Last time they did was in 2019 and Donald Trump will be traveling to Beijing in April this year. So there has been a lot of speculation that this might be the time the two countries can restart the peace process. Any reaction publicly anyway from Washington?

No, Washington sanoi, että he ovat avoimia puheenvuoroja, mutta tämä on jotain, jota he kertovat usein. No, tietysti se, joka voisi olla suurin piirtein tästä, on Suomessa, joka on pysynyt puheenvuoroja Donald Trumpin ja Kim Jong-un kanssa, mutta samalla Suomessa on syntynyt Suomessa.

saying that the relationship between the two countries is really a foregone conclusion, that they do not consider South Korea as part of their brethren anymore, that whatever South Korea has been trying to thaw the relationship with the North, they consider it a mere deception. So South Korea was quite disappointed by this comment, and we heard from Seoul that this kind of comment does not help, and yet they will keep trying to really thaw the relationship and make peace with North Korea.

Let's come back to that possible meeting with Donald Trump. When are we going to know if this could be real and what could it achieve? North Korea and the United States have some things that they could achieve from the other side. Of course, North Korea desperately wants to be recognized as a normal country. They can hold these weapons, which of course...

One of the largest sources of carbon dioxide emissions in Europe is the construction industry. The making of cement and reinforced concrete accounts for around 40% of CO2 emitted on the continent. Flights make up less than 3%.

Research suggests huge reductions could be made by building in wood. In Portugal an influx of well-off foreigners and a shortage of houses and construction workers is driving an increase in ready-made wooden houses, as Alastair Leathead reports.
