A desperate search is underway after a US warplane was shot down over Iran. One crew member remains missing. While American and Iranian forces continue searching, the latter is also offering a reward. Also on today's programme: we speak to a former chief international correspondent who visited Kharg Island a decade ago; and, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Bruce Hornsby has a new album, Indigo Park, his fifth since 2019. Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by Jane Kinninmont, Chief Executive Officer at the United Nations Association, and Travis Elborough, British author and cultural commentator.
