President Trump has strongly criticised the current international agreement on Iran. We speak to Trita Parsi, a president of the National Iranian American Council based in Washington about how US sanctions have impacted investment in Iran. We have a report from Barcelona, Spain, on a row that has erupted since the ride-hailing app Uber recently established operations in the city for the first time since 2014. Greenland, an island of just 56,000 people, headed to the polls on Tuesday. Thomas Munk Veirum a political reporter from KNR radio in Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, tells us about the issues in this election. Also in the programme, it's the fifth anniversary of the Rana Plaza garment factory disaster in Bangladesh. But, how much safety standards for factory workers in the country have changed since the incident? A question for Carry Somers, founder and Global Operations Director at Fashion Revolution. Plus, why Egypt is to fine people who pester tourists. The Guardian's Cairo reporter, Ruth Michaelson, tells us about the new law.
