World News: Iran and U.S. conclude second round of negotiations over Tehran's nuclear program

This is the World Now, bringing you the latest stories from around the globe.

The U.S. and Iran concluded a second round of nuclear talks in Rome on Saturday and agreed to hold another round this week.

On April 19, U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi engaged again in indirect talks mediated by Oman at the Omani embassy in Rome.

The talks lasted for about four hours, focusing on reviving an agreement to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons while allowing for peaceful nuclear energy use.

Both sides reported progress and agreed to begin "expert-level" discussions in Muscat, Oman, starting Wednesday, with a follow-up meeting scheduled for Saturday.

Key negotiation points include how to handle Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium and how to ensure that the U.S. does not withdraw from any agreement.

The U.S. suggests transferring the uranium to a third country, possibly Russia, while Iran insists on keeping it within its borders.

The United States launched more airstrikes on Yemen's capital, Sanaa, and the coastal city of Hodeida over the weekend.

This comes less than two days after a strike on the Ras Isa oil terminal on the Red Sea coast.

On Saturday, local time, U.S. forces conducted 13 airstrikes targeting sites controlled by the Houthis Sanaa and Hodeida, including an airport and a port facility. The airstrikes resulted in at least 3 deaths and 4 injuries.

This follows an attack on April 17 on the Ras Isa oil terminal, which reportedly killed at least 80 people and injured more than 150 others.

The U.S. military says these strikes aim to degrade the Houthis' offensive capabilities and protect international shipping routes in the Red Sea.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed on Saturday grave concern over the attack on Ras Isa and escalating violence in the region.

In Germany, the 37th annual Easter egg-throwing competition took place on Sunday in the western town of Horhausen.

Participants were given a single brightly colored hard-boiled egg to throw as far as possible without it breaking.

The longest recorded egg throw to date is 78 meters, set in 2002.

Eggs that remain intact are collected and distributed to the crowd, while broken eggs become bird feed.

The tradition of Easter egg throwing continues to be a part of Horhausen's Easter celebrations,

dating back to the post-Second World War era.
