The US is to reinstate all sanctions on Iran removed under the 2015 nuclear deal.

The Trump administration is to reinstate all US sanctions on Iran removed under the 2015 nuclear deal. The White House said it was 'the toughest sanctions regime ever imposed on Iran' and targeted Iran's energy, shipping and banking sectors; also, Twitter has deleted around 10,000 accounts that were allegedly posting messages aimed at discouraging Americans from voting in next week's elections; and how should we talk to children about pornography? Julian Worricker discusses all this and more with Claire Bolderson, British journalist and broadcaster, and Simon Watt, biologist, writer and science broadcaster and comedian.
