Summary
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.
Sophy and Wilf have the day's news in just 10 minutes.

| 0:09.0 | US Vice President J.D. Vance has said the US will continue to negotiate with Iran as he says President Trump's on the lookout for a bargain. |
| 0:19.6 | We now know what the King and Queen will be up to on their state visit to the US at the end of the month. |
| 0:25.7 | Hello, you're listening to Cheat Sheet, a 10-minute podcast on the day's news. |
| 0:29.4 | It's Wednesday the 15th of April. I'm Wilfred Frost. |
| 0:32.5 | And I'm Sophie Ridge. Also today, have scientists found out what annoys us, Brits, more than pretty much everyone else? |
| 0:40.2 | I like this survey. That's coming at the end. So the latest in terms of hopes for some kind of |
| 0:47.4 | resolution of the war in the Middle East, US Vice President J.D. Vance has said that the US will |
| 0:53.3 | continue to negotiate with Iran. |
| 0:55.9 | He was speaking at an event, a Turning Point USA, a T.P. USA event at the University of Georgia. |
| 1:04.4 | And he said that negotiations would continue, that they did make a, quote, ton of progress over the weekend, |

| 1:31.2 | higher hopes, again, that there are peace talks to be to be had in the days ahead than we might |
| 1:39.7 | have had 24, 36 hours ago. With these things, I always find it really genuinely difficult to work out how close to a |
| 1:48.2 | resolution they are or not, right? |
| 1:49.7 | Because you get these words coming out of both sides and it's very hard, I think, to get |

| 1:55.8 | According to NBC News, our sister network, if you like, Iran's nuclear capability and the opening of the |
