US and Saudi Arabia strike nuclear deal
from The World Tonight · host BBC Radio 4
The agreement allows Saudi Arabia to establish a civilian nuclear programme. Critics fear that it undermines global nuclear non proliferation and would allow Riyadh to develop its own nuclear weapons programme. We hear from a Congressman who’s vowed to try to block the move. Also on the programme: Prime Minister Andy Burnham promises to review the government’s controversial early prison release scheme; and Elon Musk wants to make an AI-generated, “historically accurate” film of the Odyssey - we ask a leading classicist if that's even possible.
