Summary
We start with the good news - Iran wasn’t obliterated last night as Trump had threatened this time yesterday. So that’s positive. And an 11th hour temporary ceasefire is now in place. Iran has come to the table with a ten point peace plan. Will America accept any of it?
Meanwhile Trump’s cronies are pretending he's won a war he may actually have lost.
What has the world learnt about Trump, his whims and how to deal with him? Will anything change?

| 0:43.8 | ceasefire, and we all know it. As the President Truth this morning, a big day for world peace. |
| 0:52.1 | Iran wants it to happen. They've had enough. Operation Epic Fury was a historic and |
| 1:00.5 | overwhelming victory on the battlefield. A capital V military victory. So fratboy Pete first out of the |
