0:00Hello, David Rollins, taking a look at the latest news. Iran has reportedly told Pakistan, a mediator in talks with the U.S. on a ceasefire in the war that it will no longer take part in negotiations. However, an Iranian state-run newspaper claims that indirect channels of communication with Washington are not closed. It comes just hours ahead of President Donald Trump's deadline for a deal to reopen the Strait of Hamuz, warning that a whole civilisation will die, should an agreement not be reached. Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council has failed to pass a Bahrainian resolution, encouraging states to coordinate efforts to protect commercial shipping in the Strait of Hamuz. The 15 member security council voted 11 in favour of the resolution, with two against and two abstentions. The vote could not pass, as China and Russia exercised their veto powers. On Turkish President, Rajip Tayyip Erdogan has condemned an attack on the Israeli consulate in Istanbul, calling it a heinous act of terror.

1:03Three islands open fire at police, outside of building, that housing the Israeli consulate in Istanbul, sparking a gunfight that left one attack a dead. Two police officers sustained minor injuries. President Erdogan says investigations have been launched into the attack. This is ABC News.
