00:00The United States and Iran have failed to reach an agreement at the end of a historic face-to-face
00:05talks in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad. Vice President J.D. Vance, who led the U.S. delegation,
00:11said the talks lasted 21 hours, but in the end, they did not see an affirmative commitment from
00:17Iran that they will not seek a nuclear weapon. The bad news is that we have not reached an
00:22agreement, and I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the United States
00:26of America. So we go back to the United States having not come to an agreement. We've made very
00:31clear what our red lines are, what things we're willing to accommodate them on, and what things
00:36we're not willing to accommodate them on. And we've made that as clear as we possibly could,
00:41and they have chosen not to accept our terms. According to Iranian media, the three-party
00:47talks began after Iranian preconditions, including a reduction in Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon.
00:53Despite the outcome, which leaves uncertainty over a fragile two-week ceasefire, Pakistan's foreign
00:59minister, Ishak Dha, said it was imperative that the parties continue to uphold their commitment
01:05to a ceasefire in the war.
01:10Russia and Ukraine exchanged prisoners on Saturday, just hours before a temporary ceasefire
01:17was set to take effect for Orthodox Easter. The war in size exchanged 175 prisoners of the
01:23war, each in a mediation carried out by the United Arab Emirates, according to officials.
01:29The exchange came just after both nations fired waves of drones at each other overnight.
01:35According to the Ukrainian Air Force, Russia launched at least 160 drones at Ukraine, killing
01:41four people in the countries east and south, with the Odessa region being among the hardest hit.
01:47Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said his country would respond, quote,
01:53in kind to any Russian violations of the ceasefire. Meanwhile, authorities in Russia's southern
01:58Krasnoda region claimed a wave of Ukrainian drones sparked a fire at an oil depot and damaged apartment
02:05buildings. Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday declared a 32-hour ceasefire over the
02:12orthodox Easter weekend from 4 p.m. Saturday until the end of Sunday. A similar ceasefire was ordered
02:19by Putin last year, but both sides reported multiple violations.
02:26After blazing new records near the moon, Artemis II's astronauts completed humanity's first lunar
02:32voyage in more than half a century with a Pacific splashdown in the early hours of Saturday.
02:38The triumphant moonfarers emerged from their bobbin capsule into the sunlight off the coast of San Diego,
02:45a dramatic grand finale to a mission that revealed not only swords of the lunar far side
02:51never seen before by human eyes. Military helicopters lifted the astronauts one by one
02:57from an inflatable raft attached to the capsule, transporting them on board for the brief journey
03:03to the Navy's waiting recovery ship. Artemis II didn't land on the moon or even orbit it,
03:10but it broke Apollo 13's distance record and marked the farthest that humans have ever journeyed from
03:16Earth when the crew reached nearly 407,000 kilometers. With their flights now complete,
03:22the four astronauts have set NASA up for a moon landing by another crew in just two years and
03:28a full-blown moon base within the decade. Stefano Gabbana has resigned as chairman of Dolce & Gabbana,
03:39just as the brand wrestles with €450 million in debt. He co-founded the Italian luxury house with
03:47Domenico Dolce back in 1985, though he will maintain a creative role. Stepping into the chairman's role is
03:55Alfonso Dolce, Domenico's brother, who takes the corporate reins as the brand navigates a fresh
04:02round of debt refinancing. The company described the departure which took effect on January 1 as
04:09a natural process of organizational and governance evolution. This resignation, the statement continues,
04:16has no impact on the creative activities carried out for the group by Stefano Gabbana himself.
04:22They added that in regard to the debt, they are still in negotiations with banks. Dolce & Gabbana built
04:28its name on Dolce's Sicilian roots and a particular genius for form-fitting glamour.
