About this episode

Jesse Jackson, the US civil rights leader who was one of the most prominent African American political figures, has died at the age of 84. We speak to one of his former advisers. Also on the programme: a second round of indirect talks between the US and Iran has ended in Geneva; and the Ukrainian government funding a programme that allows soldiers to freeze their sperm.
