Available for 29 days

Iranian negotiators have arrived in Pakistan ahead of peace talks with the United States due to take place this weekend. Islamabad has established itself as a key player in bringing the US and Iran to the negotiating table, after it helped secure a two-week ceasefire. Also in the programme: the Artemis II astronauts have safely returned to Earth, completing the crew’s 694,481-mile journey to the Moon and back; and ahead of his latest tour, we hear from the legendary Jamaican-born bass-baritone Sir Willard White. Presenter Julian Worricker is joined Dr Roxane Farmanfarmaian, a professor of international politics and specialist on the Middle East at the University of Cambridge, and Jeanna Smialek, Brussels bureau chief at The New York Times.
