Iran oil sanctions: Exemptions for US trading partners expire

Temporary waivers on the US's sanctions against Iran expire for its key trading partners

Temporary waivers on the US's sanctions against Iran expire for its key trading partners, which include China, India, Japan, South Korea and Turkey. We hear what this might mean for the world's oil supply, and global prices, from Sara Vakshari, an Iranian oil analyst at the SVB energy consultancy. And Iranian businessman Cyrus Razzhagi tells us how oil prices have affected the level of investment going into the country's economy. Also in the programme, as Beyond Meat lists on the US Nasdaq stockmarket, we hear how trading went on the first day for the meat substitute company. And what makes a banknote an award-winning banknote? We speak to Pam West of the International Bank Note Society to find out.
Nigel Cassidy is joined throughout the programme by Madhavan Narayanan, a writer and former senior editor at the Hindustan Times in Delhi, and Erin Delmore, a political reporter in New York City.
