UK and EU clash over Brexit progress

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

As both sides insist the other must make concessions, we hear why prominent Leave campaigner and Conservative backbench MP Jacob Rees-Mogg is "troubled" by Theresa May's comments about the possible jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice after Brexit. Also: the Iranian authorities have brought new charges against the dual British-Iranian citizen, Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, her husband Richard Ratcliffe tells us her imprisonment amounts to torture. And we hear why there are concerns in Nigeria about the trials of thousands of people accused of being members of Boko Haram.
