Israel and Bahrain to establish diplomatic relations

New relations between Israel and Bahrain; record early voting in US presidential election

An Israeli official says Israel and Bahrain will establish full diplomatic relations at a ceremony on Sunday in the Bahraini capital, Manama. We'll have reaction and analysis.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Anna Machin, British evolutionary anthropologist, writer and broadcaster; and Mark Landler, American journalist and London bureau chief for the New York Times newspaper.
