IAEA chief in Iran for nuclear talks

BBC World Service - Weekend, IAEA chief in Iran for nuclear talks

The head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog to meet with senior officials in Tehran.

Rafael Grossi, the head of the United Nations nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is in Tehran to meet senior Iranian leaders. The meetings come after his inspectors found uranium particles enriched to near weapons-grade there.

Also in the programme: President Joe Biden and the German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz have been holding talks in Washington, where they discussed a number of global issues including the war in Ukraine. We hear more about the main topics of conversation.  

And as the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine approaches we find out why Serbian people have chosen to support Russia over Ukraine.

And we hear more about evidence that the Kremlin had financed a system of torture centres in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson. The wife of a detained man who part of the Ukrainian resistance movement in the city has spoken to the BBC. 

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other stories are Monika Sus, Visiting Professor at the Centre for International Security at the Hertie School, Berlin and  Associate Professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw and Tom Nuttall, Senior digital editor, The Economist.
