	Description:		A court in Turkey has freed a US pastor from house arrest in a case that badly strained ties between the US and Turkey. Andrew Brunson was arrested over alleged links to political groups, including the banned Gulenist movement, after a failed coup attempt in 2016. We'll hear from a fellow preacher who had a front row seat today. Also in the programme: how relations between Iran and Iraq are healing 30 years after their brutal war; and we'll be hearing from Beckie Scott, a Canadian Olympic champion who resigned from the World Anti-Doping Agency after it decided to readmit Russia, ignoring her concerns.
