BBC World Service - Weekend, Men’s football World Cup final

France will take on Argentina in today's final of the football World Cup in Qatar. It's a match that pits two of the sport's traditional powers against each other, as well as two of the game's great players, Lionel Messi of Argentina and France's Kylian Mbappé. 

Also in the programme: Ukraine chooses its Eurovision entry; and ongoing protests in Iran. 

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Kadri Liik, Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations; and Alec Russell, Editor of the Financial Times Weekend.
