Greece And Macedonia Sign Deal to Settle Name Dispute

BBC World Service - Newshour, Greece And Macedonia Sign Deal to Settle Name Dispute

Under the agreement, Greece's neighbour will be known as North Macedonia

Heated rows over Macedonia's name have been going on since the break-up of the former Yugoslavia, of which it was a part, and have held up Macedonia's entry to Nato and the EU. Under the agreement, Greece's neighbour will be known as North Macedonia. We hear from a Greek and a Macedonian on this historic day.

Also on the programme: Saudi-led coalition air strikes on the Yemeni port of Hudaydah; and Colombians head to the polls.
