Iran Deal in Peril / Martin Bell on War And The Death of News

Oct. 10, 2017

As a candidate, President Trump promised to rip up the Iran nuclear deal. Is he about to partially fulfil that promise by refusing to certify that the Iranians are keeping their side of the bargain? Washington Correspondent Suzanne Lynch explains how all sides - Trump, the Iranians, Republicans in Congress and the other international signatories to the deal - see the current impasse. After that we talk to Martin Bell, former BBC war correspondent, about his new book "War And The Death of News", which brings together colourful stories and reflections from a formidable career in news journalism and his views on the state of war reporting today, "in an age in which the fog of war is swirling over absolutely everything".
