Iranians go to the polls
Iranians are electing a new president; bishops in controversy in the US.
Iranians have voted to elect a new president, with all but one of the four candidates regarded as hardliners... we'll have the latest.
Also, US Catholic bishops take aim at Joe Biden for his views on abortion.
Plus, Armenians head to the polls to face a choice between an embattled prime minister and a former strong man president, following defeat in the war over Nagorno-Karabakh.
Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Sanam Vakil, deputy head of the Middle East and North Africa programme at the Chatham House international affairs think tank here in London; and Rafael Behr, a British political commentator and columnist for the Guardian newspaper.
