Iranian minister says 'ball is in America's court'

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister tells the BBC that the "ball is now in America’s court" to prove it is ready to negotiate a new nuclear deal. He also warns that any conflict would be disastrous for all sides.

Also in today's programme: US Senator Marco Rubio tells the annual Munich Security Conference that the United States wants to work with Europe to "revitalise" their relationship. We'll ask a former Swedish prime minister how that might happen, and hear the soothing sounds of a new album by a maestra of the Welsh harp.

Presenter Krupa Padhy is joined by Roxane Farmanfarmaian, lecturer in International Politics and Middle East specialist at Cambridge University, and journalist and writer Priya Elan.
