Europe snaps back at US over Iran deal

BBC Radio 4 - The World Tonight, Europe snaps back at US over Iran deal

French economy minister: we will not allow the US to police the world's economy.

In-depth reporting and analysis from a global perspective.

Britain, France and Germany raise concerns about the potential consequences of new US sanctions on firms currently doing business in Iran. We examine how EU regulations could be used to block US sanctions against European companies. And the special advisor to the EU Foreign Policy Chief Nathalie Tocci tells us Iran could be persuaded to stay in the deal - for a while at least. Also: we speak to Tian of the jailed opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim on his expected release following a power-sharing deal with the new 92 year-old prime minister Mahathir Mohamad. Plus the Venezuelan mothers to be who are becoming maternity migrants. And Amanda Palmer, art-rock icon, on music in the era of Donald Trump.

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