One crew member is missing after a US warplane was shot down over Iran. US forces are searching, but so are the Iranians, who are offering a reward.

Also on today's programme: while the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, we speak to the captain of an Indian tanker who spent three weeks at anchor as missiles and drones flew overhead; and, the return of the all-female indie band, The Beakers.

Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by Jane Kinninmont, Chief Executive Officer at the United Nations Association, and Travis Elborough, British author and cultural commentator.
