The US government releases three million more files relating to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein -- and insists there's been no White House interference. Also on today's programme: why NASA mission to the moon could be a chance to heal international tensions; and, the Cuban band who say the Trump administration's tough immigration policies have got it second guessing a planned tour America. Presenter Paul Henley is joined by Eric Albert, European economic correspondent for the French newspaper Le Monde, and Olga Oliker, programme director for Europe and Central Asia at the International Crisis Group, which works to prevent and resolve conflict around the world.
