Trump: US not ready to make deal to end the war with Iran

US President Donald Trump has said in an interview with NBC Iran wants to make a deal to end the war, but he doesn't want to yet "because the terms are not good enough."

Also on the programme: France is holding the first round of local elections, with mayors being chosen in 35,000 communes across the country; and we meet the men in the UK celebrating the joy of ordinary things at the Dull Men's Club.

Joining our presenter Julian Worricker to discuss these stories and more are Harmonie Toros, Professor in Politics and International Relations at the University of Reading in the UK, and Nadine White, the editor of the Black Current News magazine and a film-maker.
