7:02 am
comments made in interviews by prime minister boris johnson in which he said it was a bad deal that needs renegotiating and that president trump was the man to do so as president from abroad is it was a bad deal it wasn't a great deal iran was was and is behaving disruptively in the region and i think as one guy. who can do a better deal for years trump was quick to seize on what appeared to be a change in u.k. policy oh i respect boris a lot and i am not at all surprised that he was the 1st one to come out and say that later though this statement is care of occasion the prime minister supports the j c p o a that's the iran nuclear deal the iranians are currently in compliance and we need to bring them back into compliance it all comes at a time of growing tension the u.k. france and germany have now joined the u.s. in declaring that iran was responsible for the drone attacks on saudi arabia's oil

a former white house and u.s. state department official she says european leaders have failed to protect the 2015 iran nuclear deal. there is no proof the french the british and the germans are not even waiting for a un or international investigation which the saudis have themselves called for 'd the e.u. 3 as they're called the germans the french and the british are coming out jumping the gun not waiting for investigation to say that iran must have done it there's no other explanation well that really underestimates as they have for years what the yemenis have been capable of doing and i think we all have underestimated what the yemenis are capable of doing much to our much more peril nobody is really interested in continuing with the iran nuclear deal the j c p a way including the iranians but i think the europeans have taken a real gamble throwing their weight behind president trump in some sort of new multilateral deal because trump is not interested in a multilateral deal he is interested in by lateral deals where the u.s.
7:05 am
has overwhelming leverage against the party that it's negotiating with so trump wants a deal with with iran and in the end he's going to turn on the europeans and they're going to be left out in the cold so this is a really calculated calculated policy that trump is pursuing and the europeans are really now on full display for their weakness they can't even protect what they said was their landmark diplomatic achievement with iran which was in their utmost national security interests the whole process really is in tatters. our world leaders have been attending the u.n. climate change summit to try to prevent a global irreversible catastrophe the summit part of the general assembly asks countries to accelerate reforms a new u.n. report has found commitments to cut greenhouse gases must be at least tripled to meet the goals of the 2015 paris agreement at least 66 countries have signaled their intent to achieve net 0 carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 but 40 nations

a shift in emphasis 1st secretary general antonio terrorists who came to office focusing on conflict resolution but instead has watched peace escaped the likes of syria yemen and libya with a new cold flick looming in the gulf it is that sense of urgency but i have to say the secretary general didn't do it alone i think all you had to do is watch the millions of people especially young people that were in the streets on friday and the secretary general's fully aware that he may have been speaking but in the back there were millions of young people screaming and pushing and demanding action that it takes children to call world leaders to account on something like climate change says a lot about the state of global diplomacy as it does about the ever more elusive search for consensus that the u.n. and this vast gathering are supposed to be about 193 countries represented more than 500 side events a blizzard of activity but how much can actually be achieved for the diplomat and

7:18 am
a says is that the world our planet needs brazil to feed it both grains and to be produced massively here in the amazon region and that the country has the right to continue to cut down parts at least of forests like the one you see behind me the campaign says that brazil will do this in a sustainable way but no really kong crete examples have been given about how that's going to be done the idea clearly is to try to reverse brazil's tarnished image after these sustained weeks months actually of forest fires but that is going to be a very hard sell 3 u.s. congressional committees have threatened to push ahead and try to obtain documents relating to president trump's dealings with ukraine he's accused of pressuring his ukrainian counterpart to investigate the family of political rival joe biden mike hanna has more from washington. the chairman of 3 congressional committees have signed a joint letter sent to the secretary of state my pompei are demanding that the
