| TOP OF THE AGENDA | | 'Clash' between Trump and Netanyahu complicates Iran talks | | | | | Trump also reportedly accused Netanyahu of ingratitude during Monday's phone call. Credit: Reuters | | Trump's admission that he called Netanyahu "effing crazy" in a phone call may point to frustration in the White House over the alignment of US and Israeli goals in the Middle East war, experts have cautioned. The president reportedly clashed with the long-time Israeli leader over military action in Lebanon that has thrown Washington’s Iran diplomacy into crisis, writes White House reporter Bernd Debusmann Jr. The Israeli PM has a long history of testing the White House’s patience, Bernd notes. But, while Trump told the Pod Force One podcast that he was “perturbed” by Netanyahu’s operation in Lebanon, he added: "I like Bibi a lot… I work very well with him." Following Monday’s exchange, Israel and Lebanon agreed to renew their fragile ceasefire by creating “pilot” security zones. However, Lebanese state media reported Israeli strikes continued in the south of the country after the agreement was made. | | | | | | | - US vote: The House of Representatives passed a measure that seeks to halt Trump from taking further military action in Iran, but it'll have little impact.

| | | BEYOND THE HEADLINES | | What a hair loss breakthrough could mean for women like me | | | | | | | Translating the findings so they can be used on humans remains difficult. Credit: Getty Images | | Despite all the medical innovations made by humanity, scientists still don't fully understand hair loss, particularly women's. But, experts in Japan believe they have made a "major breakthrough" by recreating the full cycle of hair growth in mice. For women living with hair loss, results like this hint at something once thought impossible: that it could be reversed. Newsnight presenter Victoria Derbyshire says losing her hair during treatment for cancer “was worse even than losing a breast through a mastectomy”. She examines what such a scientific advance could mean for women - and why the emotional impact of hair loss is still underestimated. | | | | | | |
