President Rouhani says killing of top physicist won't slow Iran's nuclear programme

President Rouhani says killing of top physicist won't slow Iran's nuclear programme.

Iran has urged the United Nations to condemn the assassination of its top nuclear scientist, and it's pointed the finger at Israel. We hear from our chief international correspondent about reaction in the Middle East. 

Also on the programme: With the violence in Ethiopia's Tigray province showing no signs of abating, the UN appeals for help with the thousands fleeing into Sudan; And what music do you associate with the emotions of a pandemic age? We'll hear from a composer who set his feelings to music.

To talk about these stories and more we are joined by Holly Dagres - she is an Iranian-American Non-Resident fellow at the Atlantic Council international affairs think-tank also the Curator of the current affairs newsletter, The Iranist And the neuroscientist Dr Daniel Glaser, who is an expert in the art of science communication and engagement.
