Hardtalk is in Oslo to speak to the winners of the 2017 Nobel
Peace Prize, ICAN (the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear
Weapons.) It comes as North Korea continues its testing of
missiles capable of reaching the United States with a nuclear
warhead. President Trump has threatened ‘fire and fury’ against
North Korea and talks of increasing America’s nuclear weapons
stockpile.

Earlier this year ICAN helped to deliver the Treaty on the
Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons which was signed by 122 countries,
although none of the nuclear armed powers signed. Stephen Sackur
talks to ICAN’s executive director, Beatrice Fihn. What use is
this Nobel Peace Prize when the world’s nuclear powers are not
listening?
