President Trump has said even more US troops are to be withdrawn from Germany as a spat over the Iran war continues. The Pentagon announced on Friday that five thousand US troops stationed in Germany would be withdrawn. That's led to bipartisan criticism, including from two key Republican lawmakers who said reducing the move risked sending the wrong signal to Russia's Vladimir Putin. Also on the programme: the Iranian man smuggling satellites into his country to bypass internet shutdowns; and the book nominated for the International Booker Prize 30 years after its original publication. Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by Emma Graham-Harrison, Middle East correspondent at the Guardian newspaper, and Yaroslav Trofimov, chief foreign affairs correspondent for the Wall Street Journal.
