Trump to Reveal Iran Nuclear Decision

President Trump is to announce whether the US will walk away from the Iran nuclear deal.

President Trump is to announce whether the US will walk away from the Iran nuclear deal. Amir Paivar is business correspondent for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Persian Service, and tells us what impact a renewal of sanctions might have on Iran. Also in the programme, we have a report on the economic relationship between Malaysia and China ahead of tomorrow's elections in Malaysia. Part of two national parks in the Democratic Republic of Congo may be reclassified to allow oil exploration. Jean-Luc Blakey from campaign group Global Witness tells us why his organisation is opposed to the move. We consider the health of emerging market currencies, amid widespread dollar strengthening, with our regular economic commentator, Roger Bootle of Capital Economics. Plus, 30 years after the construction of London's Canary Wharf financial district, we speak to people whose lives were transformed by the development.
