Delegations arrive in Switzerland for Iran-US talks

Available for 29 days

Direct talks between the US and Iran are set to begin in Switzerland despite the Iranian military saying it has closed the Strait of Hormuz again over Israel's attacks on southern Lebanon. The American Vice President, JD Vance, has arrived in Switzerland. Also in the programme: a row between Poland and Ukraine; and the positive impact of becoming a father. Presenter Paul Henley is joined by Anja Shortland, professor in political economy at King's College, London; and John Kampfner, broadcaster, journalist and writer.
