Israeli arms transfers must stop, say 37 US Democrats

The influential US Democrat, Nancy Pelosi, and nearly forty of her colleagues in Congress have signed a letter to the White House saying it is "unjustifiable" to approve weapons transfers to Israel.

Also on the programme, why sanctions against Russia are not having the desired effect; and why there's a lack of enthusiasm for the Paris Olympics.

Joining presenter Audrey Brown are Samantha de Bendern, an associate fellow at the Chatham House foreign relations think-tank, and Andrea Sella, professor of chemistry at University College London.
