US Secretary of State plays down Saudi Arabia-Qatar talks.

The US Secretary of State has played down Saudi Arabia-Qatar talks, saying they're both not ready. Speaking during a visit to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, Rex Tillerson has said Iranian-backed militias who've been fighting the Islamic State group in Iraq should go home. He's also urged Kurds to engage in a dialogue with the Iraqi government.  Also, voting has closed in Argentina's congressional elections and a British man has been jailed for three months for public indecency in Dubai.
