Is Trump’s latest peace deal a total sham?

The leaders of Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo come to Washington DC to sign a peace deal. They don't look at each other, don't shake hands, and all the while fighting carries on in eastern Congo. 

Is this all just business masquerading as peace?

Plus - a report shows defence secretary Pete Hegseth (now styled as war secretary) risked endangering the lives of servicemen and women by texting operational details on his personal and non-secure phone. How much pressure is he now under?

Martha reports from California and a town nicknamed "Little Kabul", where Afghan immigrants are now in the crosshairs of Donald Trump's anti-immigration push. 

And the FIFA World Cup draw is here. But as the president continues to threaten to move matches away from Democratic-run cities, how politicised has this global football event become?
