Iran’s new president vows to fight corruption

We hear how Iranians are reacting to the election of Ebrahim Raisi as president.

Plus, in Hungary, parliament passes a law banning what’s described as the promotion or portrayal of homosexuality and gender reassignment.

Also, as Covid-19 pandemic sparks a surge of interest in the role of indoor environments, we look at so-called ‘healthy buildings’.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Viola von Cramon, a German member of the European Parliament for the Greens and a rapporteur on Belarus; and Ivan Krastev, Bulgarian political scientist, Chairman of the Centre for Liberal Strategies in Sofia, and Permanent Fellow at the Institute for Human Science.
