The Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has told The Hub that he believes Iran has no intention of developing nuclear weapons.

Mr Erdogan has described the Iranian president, Mahmoud Ahmadinjad, as a "friend" - and speaking in an interview with Nik Gowing, he said he had full confidence in Iran's guarantees that its nuclear programme was for civilian purposes only.

The Hub with Nik Gowing is broadcast Monday to Fridays at 1600, 1630 and 1700 GMT on BBC World News. Find out more information about regional broadcast times here.
