Trump rejects Strait of Hormuz proposal

Weekend

Available for 8 days

Iran says only a negotiated settlement would lead to the unblocking of the Strait of Hormuz, which is critical for world oil supplies. The comment came after President Trump said he'd rejected Tehran's proposal to reopen the Strait within one week. Also in the programme:Swiss voters are deciding in a referendum today on whether they want to introduce a stricter interpretation of their country's traditional neutrality; Tenzing, the unsung hero of the first ascent of Everest brought to the big screen; and are Ethiopians marching back to war in Tigray? Presenter Krupa Padhy discusses these stories with panellists Kate Clark, journalist and Co-Director of the Afghanistan Analysts Network, and Andrea Sella, broadcaster and Professor of Chemistry at University College London.
