The morning's headlines in 90 seconds, including Donald Trump's claimed breakthrough with Iran, Britain's move to ban social media for under-16s, and a dream FIFA World Cup debut for Cabo Verde.

Donald Trump says the United States and Iran have electronically signed a peace agreement and claims the Strait of Hormuz will reopen later this week.

Children under 16 will be banned from using social media platforms including TikTok, Instagram and Facebook in the UK from 2027.

The Mental Health Commission says New Zealand's mental health system needs to improve faster, with young people and Māori continuing to face significant unmet needs.

A fighter at a UFC event attended by Donald Trump has sparked backlash after making comments about former First Lady Michelle Obama.

And Cabo Verde has secured a stunning 0-0 draw against Spain in its first ever FIFA World Cup match, one of the biggest surprises of the tournament so far.
