US Iran Sanctions Reintroduced

US sanctions on Iran came back into force at midnight US east-coast time.

US sanctions on Iran came back into force at midnight US east-coast time. Krishnadev Calamur of The Atlantic tells us what impact the move is likely to have on Iran's economy. Also in the programme, as Britain's trade secretary Liam Fox warns that a 'no-deal' Brexit is now more likely than not, we discuss the implications with Roger Bootle of Capital Economics, and Thomas Cole of Open Britain. Disney has announced a streaming service which it hopes will rival the likes of Amazon Prime and Netflix. Tom Harrington is an analyst at Enders, and looks ahead to the new service, and how Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox will change the media landscape. Plus we have a report from Stockholm where growing numbers of Swedes are paying to have microchips inserted under their skin, to help with accessing locked doors and in place of rail tickets.
