Donald Trump says a deal to end the war with Iran has already been signed and details will be released “pretty soon”.

This comes ahead of a formal signing ceremony in Switzerland on Friday.

Speaking during a G7 meeting in France, the US President said as part of the US’s deal to end the war, Iran will “never have a nuclear weapon”.

But the agreement remains shrouded in mystery, and major questions remain about whether both sides can reach a long-term peace deal.

Asma Khalid and Tristan Redman from The Global Story podcast speak to the BBC’s chief international correspondent, Lyse Doucet.

They ask: how has the war affected the global economy, how people in Iran have been affected, what Iran’s nuclear capabilities are and what has happened to the Iranian regime.

The inaugural games featured dozens of elite athletes using performance-enhancing drugs to try and break world records in track, weightlifting and swimming.

But substances like testosterone and human growth hormone – banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency – are not only celebrated, they’re encouraged and for sale.
