## Resource

Are the US & Iran really getting closer to a peace deal, as Trump claims? With the American blockade in the Strait of Hormuz now suspended, and talks between the two sides apparently imminent, Christiane and special guest Tina Brown unpick whether Trump finally has an exit plan, or whether this could be yet another false dawn in negotiations. Christiane & Tina also discuss the challenges and the risks of holding power - and particularly President Trump - to account in the modern age of social media and disinformation. Later, they explain the impact of King Charles's recent state visit on the Special Relationship, plus they talk Putin, The Devil Wears Prada 2, and Tina reveals what's coming up at her annual Truth Tellers' Summit.
