Reformer Masoud Pezeshkian elected Iran's president

A review of the week with the latest news.

Iran's presidential election has been won by the reformist candidate, Masoud Pezeshkian. The former heart surgeon finished nearly three million votes ahead of his hardline conservative rival, Saeed Jalili, in the second round.

Also in the programme: Joe Biden has insisted he's the best person to beat Donald Trump in the race for the White House, despite mounting concern among fellow Democrats caused by his poor performance in a TV debate; and what will the UK’s foreign policy look like under a Labour government?

Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by Baroness Helic, a member of the House of Lords, and John McTernan, political strategist and commentator.
