Islamabad braces for US-Iran talks round two

US and Iranian officials head to Islamabad as potential peace talks stalled. We hear a special report from Lyse Doucet on the divided communities she has found on the streets of Tehran.

Also on today's programme: Why Europe is running out of aircraft fuel; and, the story of an endangered butterfly and an estranged father.

Presenter Paul Henley is joined by Kadri Liik, a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Europe think tank based in the Estonian capital, Tallinn, and Michael Peel, science editor at the Financial Times in London.
