BBC World Service - Weekend, How will Iran's new president impact relations with the West?

How will the election of Iran's new hardline president impact nuclear talks?

Will the election of a hardline cleric as Iran's president have an impact on nuclear negotiations with the West?

Also, France votes in regional elections today, seen as a test for President Macron, ahead of next year's presidential poll.

Plus, weddings are back on here in England, but dancing and singing remain prohibited. But is a wedding a wedding without song and dance?

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.
