UN report: Syrian civilians face "unspeakable suffering"

US focused more on good deal, less on Iran talks deadline

The U.S. says it is more focused on getting a good deal that the P5+1 can live with when it comes to the negotiations underway in Vienna over Iran's nuclear programme.

Change in US hostage policy

Families of hostages taken by groups like the Islamic State will no longer be threatened with criminal prosecution if they attempt to negotiate the release of their loved ones.

Today US officials have been meeting with families of kidnap victims to discuss the changes.
