Hi, I'm Waleed Ali and I'm crashing into the show because I'm filling in for Daniel over the next few days and also because I want to bring you some news.
US President Donald Trump says negotiations with Iran are proceeding nicely, despite the US unleashing strikes in southern Iran in the middle of a ceasefire.

The woman, believed to be Huran Abbi, had the option of sending her nine-year-old daughter back without her, but opted not to.
I'm Willard Ali.

That's just the wrong way to approach these things.

She told me the same day because she called me on the phone to tell me about it.
