Iran: From Theocracy to Regional Superpower?

Following years in isolation, Iran has reentered the international stage — which for some is cause for alarm.

Tehran is now engaging in dialogue and has agreed to curb its nuclear program. But it is also involved in wars in Syria and Yemen - running the risk of upsetting the sensibilities of old enemies such as Israel, Saudi Arabia and the US. Donald Trump has now ditched the Iran nuclear deal. The consequences for the Iranian economy, international trade relations and the balance of power in the Middle East remains as yet unclear.

Does Iran have expansionist ambitions - not just military, but also political and economic? Or is it merely seeking to secure its borders and autonomy, and ward off the crises that are destabilizing the Middle East?

New US Sanctions on Iran Come Into Effect from Tuesday | Al Jazeera English

Why Is It So Hot? | Inside Story

Temperatures in Europe are soaring close to their highest ever. 48 degrees Celsius is the current record, set in the Greek capital Athens back in 1977. This weekend's continental heatwave is expected to smash the all-time high.

Hot air from Africa's baking Spain and Portugal in the Iberian peninsula. Record-breaking temperatures have been recorded in eight Portuguese towns - and there's a widespread red alert for wildfires.

In Spain, heatstroke killed at least three men. Heatwave warnings have been issued in 41 of the 50 Spanish provinces where temperatures are expected to soar to 44 degrees.

The scorching temperatures show no sign of falling. So, apart from climate change, what's the cause?

Is There Any Way to Stop Guns Printed in 3D? | Inside Story

A US court has barred a self-described "crypto-anarchist" from publishing the software blueprints for 3D-printed guns.

That information is already out there on the internet. But if publication had gone ahead it would have immediately become a lot easier to download the plans for the weapons. And with the quality of 3D-printers rapidly rising - and their cost falling equally as fast - that worries a lot of people. Not just gun control activists.

Despite this week's court order, it's a problem that isn't going away. Is public safety more important than freedom of information?

Will the Iranians Talk to Donald Trump? | Inside Story

U.S. President Donald Trump has extended an olive branch to Iran, just a week after he threatened the country. Trump now says he's ready to meet Iranian President Hassan Rouhani 'anytime' and without 'preconditions'. But his Secretary of State quickly backtracked Trump's statement, adding a few caveats to any potential meeting.

Mike Pompeo wants to see what he calls a change in behaviour from Iran before any negotiations can go ahead. Iran was also quick to set its own conditions, saying the U.S. must rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal before any talks can happen. But what's behind this sudden offer? And how will Trump engage Iran when he's trying to build a regional alliance against it?

Doku: Wie deutsch ist die Queen - Die Wurzeln des Hauses Windsor

Edward und George - Zwei Brüder, eine Krone

Die Dokumentation wirft einen Blick auf die Lebensgeschichte des Vaters (George VI.) und Onkels (Edward VIII.) der englischen Königin, die als Kinder sehr verbunden, später nie mehr zueinander fanden:

11. Dezember 1936 - der britische König Edward VIII. (1894-1972) gibt nach nur 327 Tagen seine Abdankung bekannt und stürzt damit die britische Monarchie in eine ihrer größten Krisen. Am nächsten Tag erklärt er in einer Rundfunkansprache, dass er die Verantwortung nicht mehr tragen kann ohne die Unterstützung der Frau an seiner Seite, die er liebt: Wallis Simpson (1896-1986). Seine Beziehung zu der verheirateten und geschiedenen Amerikanerin stellte ihn vor die Wahl zwischen Krone und Liebe. Die königliche Familie verweigerte Wallis Simpson die Anerkennung. Für seinen jüngeren Bruder Prinz Albert beginnt ein unerwarteter Albtraum: Als George VI. (1895-1952) wird er der Nachfolger seines Bruders und damit König wider Willen. Dennoch wurde aus ihm ein beliebter König - auch wenn ihn sein Stottern und die Angst vor öffentlichen Auftritten bis zum Ende seines Lebens quälten.
