Standoff at Al Aqsa mosque

In Jerusalem hundreds of Palestinians have barricaded themselves inside the Al Aqsa mosque, raising fears of further clashes with Israeli police. Jordan, which manages the complex, has warned Israel that any attempt by police to storm the mosque would have ‘catastrophic consequences’.

Also on the programme: Talks are taking place in Teheran between Iran and Saudi Arabia, could this be the beginning of the end of the war in Yemen? And the 25th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, which brought to an end 30 years of conflict in Northern Ireland.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss this and more are Golnar Motevalli, head of Iran coverage at Bloomberg and Simon Robinson, executive editor at Reuters.
