Talks held in Peru

Authorities in Peru have held high-level talks to try to resolve a deepening political crisis triggered by the ousting of the former president. The Council of State, the body made up of representatives of all branches of power, and church leaders had a three-hour meeting in the capital, Lima.

Also in the programme: Morocco compete for third place at the World Cup; and protests in Iran.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Shiva Rahbaran, an Iranian-born writer and researcher who focusses on issues of freedom and art; and Peter Tatchell, a UK-based human rights and democracy campaigner.
