Hello and welcome to News Hour, live from the BBC World Service in London.

I'm Rebecca Kesby.

Coming up on the programme today, we've got a tribute to the legendary Indian singer Asha Bosley, who's died at the age of 92.

We'll also be hearing live from Hungary, where elections are taking place today.

Newshouse Regini Videnarthen is there.

First, though, the peace talks between delegations from the US and Iran have broken up without a deal in Pakistan.

Though the Pakistani authorities say they continue to be ready to facilitate any future discussions.

Mohamed Galabaf, who's the Speaker of the Iranian Parliament and who was in Islamabad for the talks,

said the US had ultimately failed to gain the trust of the Iranian delegation.

But he said that the U.S. negotiators now understood Tehran's logic and principles.

and he had this to say to reporters just before boarding

his plane home. We have been at it now for 21 hours, and we've had a number of substantive

discussions with the Iranians. That's the good news. The bad news is that we have not reached

the agreement, and I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United

States of America. So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement.

We've made very clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate them on,

and what things we're not willing to accommodate them on. But the simple fact is that we need to

see an affirmative commitment that they will not seek a nuclear weapon

and they will not seek the tools that would enable them to quickly achieve a nuclear weapon.
