The two nations have concluded a first round of talks in Oman over Tehran鈥檚 nuclear programme and describe it as 鈥渃onstructive鈥�, and confirmed a second round of discussions will take place next week.

Also in the programme: An identity crisis in Russian occupied Eastern Ukraine; and we find out why New Zealand parliamentarians broke into a M膩ori folk song in celebration that a controversial bill was defeated.

Joining presenter Rebecca Kesby to discuss these and other stories of the day are Nitasha Kaul, Professor of Politics, International Relations, and Critical Interdisciplinary Studies at the University of Westminster; and Alistair Burt, a distinguished fellow of the Royal United Services Institute, who is also a former long serving British MP for the Conservative party and a former Foreign Office Minister.
