Newshour - Trump launches 'Board of Peace'
Download Trump launches 'Board of Peace'
US president Donald Trump has launched his Board of Peace - promising a new era of peace for the Middle East and beyond.
The board is part of Trump's 20-point plan to end the Israel-Hamas war. The UK says will not yet be signing up the board over concerns about Russian leader Vladimir Putin's possible participation. We'll ask how it will work -- and get the view of a former top UN official.
Also in the programme: Can President Trump pressure President Zelensky over concessions to Russia?; and we'll have the latest on a landslide in New Zealand.
