Two oil tankers have been hit by explosions in the Gulf of Oman. Ilan Goldenberg is Middle East Security Director at the Center for New American Security. He tells us what we know about the incidents, and what this could mean for the larger geopolitics of the region. Also in the programme, as London prepares to mark the second anniversary of a deadly fire at Grenfell Tower, we hear from lawyer Jeffrey Goodman of Saltz, Mongeluzzi, Barrett & Bendesky, who's suing three American companies over the blaze. In New York, decades-old rent control legislation is under review, with legislators expected to tilt the balance in favour of renters. Vivian Wang of the New York Times gives us the details. We'll also take a look at the controversial issue of food labelling. Plus our regular environmental commentator George Monbiot tells us whether he thinks the UK's target to achieve zero carbon emissions by 2050 is attainable. And we'll have our regular view on the US markets with Andrew Husby of Decision Economics in New York.
