BBC World Service - Newshour, Peace Deal Signed in South Sudan

President Salva Kiir and rebel leader Riek Machar hail "permanent" ceasefire.

South Sudan President Salva Kiir and the rebel leader Riek Machar have signed an agreement to try to end five years of civil war. Under the framework deal, a ceasefire will come into effect in the next seventy-two hours.

Also in the programme: Poland will "water down" a law that made it illegal to accuse it of complicity in Nazi war crimes, and we speak to the Philippines police chief in charge of the country's murderous drugs war.
