BBC World Service - Weekend, US hopeful on talks on Iran nuclear deal

US says it hopes talks on nuclear deal with Iran will continue.

The United States says it is hopeful that a continuation of talks will be possible on Iran's nuclear programme.

Also, as the West re-evaluates its relationship with China, we hear from Italy - the first G7 country to sign up to its Belt and Road initiative.

And we hear from the departing head of humanitarian affairs at the UN, Mark Lowcock, on how the world can respond better to humanitarian emergencies. 

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Viola von Cramon, a German member of the European Parliament for the Greens and a rapporteur on Belarus; and Ivan Krastev, Bulgarian political scientist, Chairman of the Centre for Liberal Strategies in Sofia, and Permanent Fellow at the Institute for Human Science.
