Leaders including the presidents of Russia, China and Iran are gathering in India for a BRICS summit likely to face divisions over the conflict in the Middle East.

Also in the programme: The bitter legacy of 9/11 and the global war on terror, 25 years on; and AI claims another mathematical breakthrough amid fights over credit, ethics and privacy.

Joining our presenter Paul Henley to discuss these stories are Leslie Vinjamuri, president of Chicago Council on Global Affairs and Neil Lawrence, an inaugural DeepMind Professor of Machine Learning at the University of Cambridge.
