Iran's President says assassination of its top nuclear man won't slow technical progress

Iran's President says assassination of its top nuclear man won't slow technical progress.

The Iranian President Hasan Rouhani has blamed Israel for the assassination of a top nuclear scientist -- but says it won't slow down Iran's technical progress. Our chief international correspondent tells us how the news has gone down in the Middle East.   

Also on the programme: Can the Inuit way of life survive climate change? We'll hear from one hunter on her fears for the future; And as the footballers union in England creates a task force to look into brain injuries among players, is it time for soccer to ban headers? 

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 And the neuro-scientist Dr Daniel Glaser, who is an expert in the art of science communication and engagement.
