Al Jazeera journalists jailed for seven years in Egypt. US Secretary of State in crisis talks in Iraq. Government accused of moving goalposts on badgers. With Edward Stourton.

A court in Egypt has sentenced three al-Jazeera journalists to seven years in jail for spreading false news and supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. We hear from the broadcaster's managing director and a British correspondent given 10 years in absentia. 

As the American Secretary of State, John Kerry, holds talks with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad, we ask a former general in the Jordanian Army about ISIS's advances to his country's border. We also hear from the former independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, Lord Carlile, about the threat posed by returning British jihadis.

An independent adviser accuses the government of "moving the goalposts" on badger culls. The farming minister, George Eustice, responds. 

And should Iceland call time on its national currency?

Presented by Edward Stourton.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
