hello, i'm karin giannone, this is outside source. president trump has just announced he's withdrawing the us from the iran nuclear deal. i will sign a presidential memorandum to begin reinstating us nuclear sanctions on the iranians regime. we will be instituting the highest level of economic sanctions. mr trump described the deal as a disaster and an embarrassment. it took more than two years to negotiate under barack obama. iran's president rouhani has responded — he says iran will continue the deal with the other signatories. the eu's top diplomat has called on those countries to continue honouring the deal. france, germany and the uk all say they regret the us decision. in other news — north korea's kimjong un makes a surprise second visit to china for a beach rendezvous with president xi, just weeks before his planned summit with president trump. every day on outside source,

we pull together the most important information on the biggest stories. if you want to get in touch with them, the hashtag is #bbcos. (titles) after months of speculation — we have an answer. donald trump has pulled america out of the iran nuclear deal. in an address at the white house, the us president said the current deal doesn't stop iran from making nuclear weapons in the future. take a listen. injusta injust a short in just a short period of time the world's meeting state sponsor of terror will be on the cusp of acquiring the world's most dangerous weapons. therefore i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal.

inafew withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. in a few moments i will sign a presidential memorandum to begin reinstating us nuclear presidential memorandum to begin reinstating léfgévr will ff " ”7 presidential memorandum to begin reinstating léfgévr will be ff 7 7 ”7 the iranians regime. we will be instituting the highest level of economic sanction. iran's president rouhani has responded. here's some of what he said. translation: will from this moment on the nuclear agreement is between iran and five other countries. in these circumstances we have two weeks to see how the five other countries will react. back to president trump's speech. he also warned any countries supporting iran to obtain nuclear weapons could also be sanctioned. then he said this. we will not allow american cities to

be threatened with destruction. we will not allow the regime that chads, death to america, to gain access to the most deadly weapons on art. —— a regime that shouts, death to america. the united states nor longer makes empty threats, when i make promises i keep them. we've now heard from former us president barack obama. the iran deal was his signature foreign policy achievement. in a statement he says, "i believe that the decision to put the jcpoa at risk without any iranian violation of the deal is a serious mistake." he goes on to say, "we all know the dangers of iran obtaining a nuclear weapon. it could embolden an already dangerous regime." and there's this from french president emmanuel macron, "france, germany, and the uk regret the us decision to leave thejcpoa. the nuclear nonproliferation regime is at stake." here's the initial reaction of our chief international correspondent lyse doucet.

he seems to want to force iran and other major powers back to the negotiating table. that seems almost impossible to contemplate no. it took two and a half years of negotiation, foreign minister squealing their diaries for weeks to get to what was regarded as the best deal possible. this is the worst possible scenario in terms of the iran nuclear deal. iran will have to think long and hard of what it wants to do. we have heard from hardliners and reformists that they would both try to work with europe. president trump has not given them much room. to explain what the deal is, here's our correspondent paul adams. the deal came after years of tension

over iran's alleged efforts to build a bomb. what was then the deal? iran agreed to do away with large parts of its nuclear programme and allow international inspectors to monitor progress, involving giving up stockpiles of enriched uranium, and thousands of said refuse the mac. experts believe it would take iran much longer to make a bomb in the future, from two or three months, up toa future, from two or three months, up to a year, giving the international community more time to response to a crisis. in return the international community agreed to lift sanctions, iran could recover billions of pounds of frozen assets and sell more oil on the international market and trade like a normal country.

let's bring in barbara plett usher, in washington. out of all the possibilities — donald trump has opted for the hardest exit from this deal. he certainly has. we all expected him to withdraw from the deal in some form that there was a question as to whether it would be a hard exit or a softer exit, what they call here the nuclear option, to reimpose all of the sanctions and probably add new ones. that would mean it is notjust iran that has tipped it looked but also the companies and countries that do business with iran. but as a real blow to the iran nuclear deal and the economic benefits that iran can get from that. possibly fatal blow. stay with us, barbara — let's touch on what president trump said about a future beyond this deal. iran's leaders will naturally see

that they refuse to negotiate a new deal, the refuse, and that is fine, i would probably say the same thing ifi i would probably say the same thing if i was in their possession. but the fact is they are going to want to make a new and lasting deal, one that benefits all of iran and the iranians people. when they do, i am ready, willing and able. what are the possibilities of iran agreeing to a new deal? very, very small, if at all. the iranians have said they would not renegotiate on the other parties have said the same thing. it took a huge out of effort to get this deal together with six different countries plus iran, several years, complicated text, but aimed at trying to integrate iran into the

region and the community, this is a different approach, mr trump tried to negotiate with good appearance to come up with something a bit deal with his concerns about the agreement, the europeans could not go far enough for him, now he is saying they bought force iran to the table by picking at its actions. plan b is more sanctions until iran bans plan b is more sanctions until iran ba ns to plan b is more sanctions until iran bans to what mr trump fuels business survey for a deal that will permanently limit its nuclear programme. that is something that seems to all the parties involved in possible, and also a recipe for confrontation. the prospects of the steel carrying on with the remaining signatories are being trapped by the fact that donald trump esprit backdoors/ is at the highest level? those sanctions are tied to the international system. it is difficult for iran to sell its oil, it also blocks companies and countries doing business with iran

from using the us business system, but cannot have assets and business here, they cannot work with that financial system. everything is intertwined in the global system now. it is tied to new york in some ways. america has a huge amount of wee village and that was key to the process that led to the deal. that is what patent sanctions. —— a huge amount of leverage and that was key to the process that led to the deal, thatis to the process that led to the deal, that is what richard had to sanctions. having said that that is not likely that america can get the tide sanctions on iraq that they had before. before there was a limited unified purpose, now iran is going to look like the victim and america will look like the culprits, there will look like the culprits, there will be workarounds, pushback, less commitments to this kind of blockade. there has been a lot of reaction.

since the deal iran intensified its effort to hide its nuclear programme. it is a recipe for disaster, for a region, for the peace of the globe. this is why israel thinks that president trump did an historic move and this is why it's real facts president did an historic move and this is why it's realfacts president trump did an historic move and this is why it's real facts president trump for his courageous leadership, his commitment to confront the terrorist in cheam in tehran, his commitment to ensure that iran never gets nuclear weapons, not today, to ensure that iran never gets nuclearweapons, not today, not to ensure that iran never gets nuclear weapons, not today, not in a decade, not ever. as the president of iran, president rouhani, has also reacted.

the message is that we will see over the next several weeks if it is possible to get the other five countries that are signatories to this agreement, the europeans, russia and china, whether it is plausible to keep to this deal within the framework of five colours. if not they will withdraw. he sees he has asked his people to prepare to resume, if need be, if we come to that point it is not possible, to resume enrichment on an industrial scale. he reassured iranians that everything is under control, they have contingencies. he says there are economic growth will continue. there will be calm and stability in foreign exchange markets. the iranian currency has

been dropping fast over the last several weeks and protect only the last week or two. he said there is no room for concern for any shortages, there is enough foreign exchange to go wrong. he said the action of trump was psychological and economic blow, we will not let him win. what has iran been put through over the last three years under this deal? how much scrutiny has there been on its uranium enrichment? quite a lot. there is a very robust inspection system in place by agents and inspectors of the of the international nuclear energy watchdog. there has not been any cases where there has been problems

with what iran has been doing or what it is not supposed to be doing within the agreement. iran has complied with this to the letter? it has complied and that has stayed in the deal. interesting that all the reaction on social media is pretty much in support of the agreements. iranians on the whole it seems that the want to keep to this nuclear agreements. but president trump has basically declared economic war on iran and we will see whether the europeans particularly are able to mitigate what president trump is doing in terms of sanctions against iran. but that is a long shot. this code to be difficult because there are second of the sanctions which affect companies and countries outside the us. evenif countries outside the us. even if any european countries

decide to forge ahead they would be subject to sanctions. that is right and that makes big companies, oil companies, boeing, airbus, all those people dealing with iran, but french auto manufacturers who are entering iran, they will think twice about it because their market in the us will because their market in the us will be affected. they went on to say that america's decision is groundless. stay with us on outside source. still to come. more reaction to president trump's announcement that the us is pulling out of the iran nuclear deal.

rail companies are proposing a shake—up of the current fares system to make it simplerfor consumers. the rail delivery group, which represents the industry, says there are around 55 million ticket prices in the current system. it admits customers are not always offered the cheapest ticket available because of the complexity. robert nisbet from the rail delivery group has been explaining why the system needs to be overhauled. regulations were set in stone back in the 1990s, over 20 years ago when things were very, very different. we didn't really have smartphones. there were more pagers than there were smartphones. and now of course our lifestyles are far more flexible. many of us work from home more, or we are self—employed. and so we want it to be simpler and easierfor customers when they go to, say, a ticket machine like here at liverpool street, or they pay for a ticket on their phone that they are going to get the cheapest fare for the journey

that they are about to make. and we think that is right to establish trust with customers that they trust the system and they know they are going to get the cheapest fare. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story. president trump has just announced he's withdrawing the us from the iran nuclear deal. other stories from around the bbc newsroom right now. facebook has banned foreign advertising linked to ireland's referendum on liberalising its abortion laws. the company said it wanted to protect elections and referendums from undue influence and would from now on reject adverts on abortion placed outside ireland. us first lady melania trump has been caught up in another plagiarism row after launching of her online safety for children campaign on monday. a booklet put out by mrs trump bore a striking resemblance to one published under the obama administration.

in 2016 mrs trump was accused of plagiarising parts of a speech from a 2008 address by michelle obama. that story's popular on our website. this is interesting from bloomberg. there's no shortage of opinion on how the president's decision to pull out of one nuclear deal with iran, could affect the us position when mr trump heads to a historic summit with kim jong un later this year. and mr kim is clearly preparing — today we found out he has made a second surprise visit to china. he met president xijinping in the northern city of dalian. these are pictures of the two — they held two days of talks ahead of a meeting on wednesday between china, south korea and japan. i asked bbc chinese's vincent ni

how much of a surprise this visit had been. 40 a0 days ago president xi greeted kim jong un and that was a huge surprise. now, both men are relaxed, they took a stroll along the seaside, this shows that kim jong un has emerged from the meeting with the south korean president more confident. the question still remains what he is trying to achieve with china. to things stand out from chinese statements today. he wants a phased and synchronise measure to

achieve the eventual denuclearisation on the korean peninsula. this is rather a message to donald trump, he wants synchronise measures in a responsible manner, which means if donald trump wants kim jong responsible manner, which means if donald trump wants kimjong un responsible manner, which means if donald trump wants kim jong un to have a snap deal on nuclear facilities that will not happen any time soon. he also wants synchronise measure which means when kim jong un is trying to deduce risks on the korean peninsular america should also do something on the korean peninsula. in both of these leaders mind is the forthcoming meeting between donald trump and kimjong un, china not wanting to be left out? exactly. china has been quite worried after the meeting between kimjong un and worried after the meeting between kim jong un and this worried after the meeting between kimjong un and this president worried after the meeting between kim jong un and this president of south korea. china wants to have a say at the table. china also has two trade carefully because there is a

brewing trade war between china and the united states. china does not wa nt to the united states. china does not want to do in the relationship with the united states. how much with both of them be watching what is going on in washington, the decisions that donald trump is taking over the iran nuclear deal? how much bearing does that have on a future deal, future negotiations with north korea and the us? the timing is very bad, kim jong the us? the timing is very bad, kimjong un might look at what happened in iran and even previously in libya, and after scrapping nuclear facilities in those respective countries, what america will do to them, especially in libya. last month the us national—security adviser also said america is considering a libyan model for north korea. even before this iran deal china and north korea had something to think about.

pulling out of the iran deal by the united states could potentially be more risky for future progress with north korea? certainly, from kim jong north korea? certainly, from kimjong un's perspective he might think, even the leader of the free world might change his mind after if you years ofa change his mind after if you years of a deal and these promises, kim jong un might think this will happen to him as well. the price of oil has had a particularly volatile day ahead of president trump's announcement. the us treasury says petroleum—related sanctions will be reintroduced within 180 days. kim gittleson is in new york. how's the oil price reacted? there are two prices we pay attention to, one is west texas, the other is brent crude, typically the european oil price, both prices dropped today, brent crude was down

1.796, dropped today, brent crude was down i.7%, west texas intermediate was down 2.a%. surprising given that president trump said he would reimpose sanctions on the iranian oil industry. many people think this is temporally and oil prices will rise in the long term. another thing that probably impacted this is strong statements from europe suggesting that they will not be following the us lead when it comes to be imposing sanctions. boeing has deals worth nearly $20bn with aseman airlines and iran air — what are they thinking? boeing has said it will follow the us have and leeds when it comes to doing business with iran. but it comes to doing business with iran.

but that is a significant hit on the bottom line of the company. some other business news now. a payment of between £10,000 and £13,500 should be given to the young, and pensioners should be taxed more — that's according to a new report in the uk. the group's chairman, lord willetts, said the contract between young and old had "broken down". there are now over 1.5 million families bringing up their kids in private rented sector with no security. and for younger people their peak progression has basically come to a halt, they do not see prospects of the same earning power as the appearance and they will get increasingly angry. these are real problems that need to be tackled and we think all the different generations wants to tackle them because if we can tackle then there is something in it for every age group, better health care, better training for young people, better

access to housing. one of the most iconic symbols of corporate america is the new york stock exchange. but you may have noticed a pattern on the trading floor — all the traders are men. well, all but one. enter lauren simmons. joe miller went to meet her. genetics graduate lauren simmons was a lwa ys genetics graduate lauren simmons was always an unlikely candidate for a career within the beating heart of the american economy as clients like to remind her. awoman, to remind her. a woman, you are 23, you are a minority, what are you doing? she moved from her home state of georgia and thanks to a chance introduction was soon working on wall street in an almost entirely male environment. i fell an almost entirely male environment. ifell in an almost entirely male environment. i fell in love with the numbers and the fast movement and the men in the trading jackets and everything is moving so fast, i am loving it. the new york stock exchange is one of the last remaining trading floors to still use human brokers, but even

as their numbers window, one thing remains true. this is very much the oyster club. this disparity goes back to the way things were done before the computers arrived trading and the trading tried was a physical thing. you and i would look at each other and try and figure out how big an order did we have stopped last year richard hired lauren simmons but she remains the only full—time female broker on the floor and only the second african—american woman ever to sign her name alongsidejudy rockefeller, but the american financial sector. __jd financial sector. —— jd rockefeller. we begin across the atlantic in

i will sign a presidential memorandum to begin reinstating us nuclear sanctions on the iranians regime. we will be instituting the highest level of economic sanctions. mr trump described the deal as a disaster and an embarrassment. it took more than two years to negotiate under barack obama. iran's president rouhani says iran will continue the deal with the other signatories, but he also ordered officials to be ready to start the enrichment of uranium at industrial levels if necessary. the eu's top diplomat has called on other signatories to continue honouring the deal. france, germany and the uk all say they regret the us decision. in other news, north korea's kimjong un makes a surprise second visit to china for a beach rendezvous with president xi, just weeks before his planned summit with president trump. every day on outside source, we pull together the most important information

on the biggest global stories. if you want to get in touch with them, the hashtag is #bbcos. donald trump has pulled america out of the iran nuclear deal. in an address at the white house, the us president said the current deal doesn't stop iran from making nuclear weapons in the future. take a listen. injusta injust a short in just a short period of time, the world's leading state sponsor of terror will be on the cusp of acquiring the world's most dangerous weapons. therefore i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal.

inafew withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. in a few moments i will sign a presidential memorandum to begin reinstating us nuclear sanctions on that iranians regime. we will be instituting the highest level of economic sanction. it wasn'tjust the us involved in this deal of course. the iran deal was also signed by france, the united kingdom, germany, russia and china. the first three have released a joint statement saying they view mr trump's decision with "regret and concern". they also said, "together, we emphasise our continuing commitment to the jcpoa. this agreement remains important for our shared security." and uk foreign secretary boris johnson tweeted he is awaiting more detail on the us plan. and here's the top eu diplomat federica mogherini. the eu is determined to act in

accordance with its security interests and protect its economic investments. the nuclear deal with iran is the culmination of 12 years of diplomacy. it belongs to the entire international community. it has been working and it is delivering on its goal, which is guaranteeing that iran doesn't develop nuclear weapons. the eu is determined to preserve it. we expect the rest of the international community to continue to do its part to guarantee that it continues to be fully implemented for the sake of our own collective security. damian grammaticas is in brussels for us. from the eu said there had been expressions of regret from the french president emmanuel macron, from the eu policy chief mogherini. mr macron said france, germany and

the uk all share the regret that the nuclear non—proliferation treaty is at stake. this was raining in iran's possible nuclear programme. the eu side will be dismayed at what they heard from mr trump because they will feel he misunderstood the way the deal worked and misrepresented it. he spoke about it being a weak deal with weak provisions that iran could cheat but the eu side say no, there were unlimited inspections and any attempts to block them could result in automatic sanctions. the tough regime was tougher than anywhere else in the world and it is one of the reasons they believe iran kept their promises. and the us side has been the first to break the terms of the deal. mr macron said

the eu will work to create a new framework for the future. mr trump has threatened sanctions extending to companies are businesses that try to companies are businesses that try to cooperate with iran. all of this will make it very difficult to keep the deal alive. i think you said fuel that without the deal the risk of growing instability and arms races increases. in his address, mr trump referenced this televised announcement by israel's prime minister benjamin neta nyahu last week, where he revealed what he called "secret iranian files". and claimed iran once covertly pursued nuclear weapons. it was seen by many as mr netanyahu trying to convince donald trump to pull out of the deal. but many saw it as an example of why the deal was needed in the first place. well, this decision comes amid rising tensions between iran and israel. last month israel bombed and killed iranian troops in syria. in the last few days it has put its forces on alert for iranian retaliation.

we've already heard from the israeli prime minister. he thanked the us president for us president his "bold" decision. dr dore gold is a former advisor to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. he told me president trump did exactly what needed to be done, so i asked him what him for his solution. historically and arms control, i wa nt to historically and arms control, i want to point this out, you can take a bad agreement and turn it into a good one. there was something called the salt two treaty under president carter and it was such a failure they didn't even give it to the us senate for ratification because they knew it would not pass. instead a new set of treaties called start where negotiated by president reagan which created stability between the superpowers and brought about a real dete nte. superpowers and brought about a real detente. i'm looking at the

immediate results of the announcement from the white as —— white house. the iranians president told the nuclear agency to be ready told the nuclear agency to be ready to resume enrichment on an industrial scale. hasn't this been counter—productive? industrial scale. hasn't this been counter— productive ?|j industrial scale. hasn't this been counter-productive? i do not believe so. the iran agreement, even with all its flaws was... it is better that they go ahead with enrichment? that is their choice. but today roll so moved by real interests just a few years ago to agree to the iran agreement and i think those interests are still there but they are up against a tough american negotiator who wants to protect the interests of the united states and allies with in the gulf or the mediterranean. we cannot have a shoddy piece of negotiation which the iranians are violating and which will inevitably lead to a massive

iranians nuclear arsenal. this is the kind of agreement that president —— the kind of agreement i think president trump ones will not do that. does israel feel safer now? president trump ones will not do that. does israelfeel safer now? i think when we'll look at the long—term we can be certain that by the year 2030 we will not be facing iran with a massive nuclear arsenal. right now they can build all the missiles they want and at the end of the agreement when the sunset clause kicks in they can start enriching uranium in massive quantities. you will be facing a new soviet union like you had in the cold war but it will be a shi'ite fundamentalists state. that is dangerous notjust friends will —— notjust for israel but the world. the 2015 nuclear deal saw sanctions lifted on iran, and it initially gave the economy a boost. the bbc‘s reality check team have been analysing the numbers.

this chart illustrates how iran's growth was in decline in the years before the deal — but look at this spike in 2016 when gdp grew 12.5%. although that's since fallen, the initial boost was thanks to the hike in oil exports. in 2013 iran exported 1.1 million barrels per day. that rose to almost 2.5 million barrels today. and non—oil exports in the year to march 2018 reached $a7 billion. don't forget you can get much more detail on our top stories on our website. we're currently running a live page on reaction to donald trump's withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal. that's bbc.com/news. here on outside source we've been covering armenia a lot recently. well, today, the culmination of what's been described as the central asian nation's velvet revolution. this is the moment earlier today

that armenian opposition leader, nikol pashinyan, was elected prime minister in parliament. it's the country's top political post. mr pashinyan's victory follows weeks of anti—government protests like this one from april outside parliament in the capital yerevan. people were angry that after 10 years in power, serzh sargsyan left armenia's presidency last month only to be elected prime minister by a parliament controlled by his republican party. critics saw this as a way of clinging to office. he stepped down because of the protests. and these pictures show mr pashinyan who led those protests being cheered by tens of thousands of jubilant supporters outside parliament in yerevan today, shortly after he was elected as the country's new prime minister. armenia's peaceful uprising against single—party rule and the way its political leaders responded is seen as unprecedented for a former soviet state. russia's president putin tweeted congratulations

to nikol pashinyan on taking office as prime minister of armenia. rayhan demitrye has been following this story from the start and was outside parliament in yerevan when the new prime minister was elected. when the element voted for nikol pashinyan to become this country's next prime minister there was an explosion of happiness here in the republic square. people are now dancing and waving flags. they cannot hold back theirjoy. here is one person. how do you

are 7 of by ”if: they minister. ’ here's our science correspondent helen briggs.

spiders divide people. you either love them or hate them, but for scientists they are absolutely fascinating. two reasons. you can learn an awful lot about them from the way they move, and secondly they could be inspiration for a new generation of robots. they can do things that are beyond human technology in terms ofjumping. these amazing jumps, six times their body length. this spider was trained tojump on command. if you could

ta ke tojump on command. if you could take that technology, find out how they do it and build a robot based on that, it could be useful for all sorts of things. pest control, if you could catch pests using little robots like spiders do, that could be useful. how extraordinary is what is going on inside the legs to enable it to jump on inside the legs to enable it to jump six times its body length from a standing start? alljumps from a standing start and you rely on muscle power and this has amazing muscle power and this has amazing muscle power and this has amazing muscle power to make this leap. they also thought spiders use hydraulics so that they somehow pump the liquid inside their legs to put in this enormous leap. it turns out kim, as they nicknamed this spider, she doesn't actually use hydraulics for thesejumps, doesn't actually use hydraulics for these jumps, so it doesn't actually use hydraulics for thesejumps, so it is doesn't actually use hydraulics for these jumps, so it is still doesn't actually use hydraulics for thesejumps, so it is still an open question. it is another step in the puzzle of what we know about

spiders. we are already know that ones like this, tiny, have amazing eyesight from these big googly eyes. they can also jump with incredible precision to catch their prey. when they see something, they can work out a plan of how to execute that jump, whether it should be high or low trajectory, in order to catch prey. they can also plan how they jump prey. they can also plan how they jump in orderto prey. they can also plan how they jump in order to conserve energy. prey. they can also plan how they jump in order to conserve energylj am jump in order to conserve energy.” am just jump in order to conserve energy.” amjust imagining jump in order to conserve energy.” am just imagining what a jumping robot would be like, how frightening it would be! particularly on a bigger scale. one of the scientists behind this at the university of manchester is actually an aeronautics engineer. he told me he started looking at how birds fly and was interested in if he could model that in micro—robots, and then he thought about jumping and that in micro—robots, and then he thought aboutjumping and going right down to a smaller scale. there

is work going on studying nature. they have looked at grasshoppers, fleas, and now they are looking at jumping spiders. they are amazing creatures that they can do this. finding out more about how they do it, unlocking their secrets, could lead to big advances. you mentioned they had managed to almost train this spider. there are quite a few but kim was the only one that cooperated? they selected female spiders they thought would be best. they bought a number of them from a pet shop and build platforms for them to jump to pet shop and build platforms for them tojump to and pet shop and build platforms for them to jump to and from. they didn't want to use prey to tempt them. they could have used a cricket or something but they thought if they kept it eating it would get a bit lazy orfat, so they kept it eating it would get a bit lazy or fat, so theyjust put them on the take—off platform and most just wondered them on the take—off platform and mostjust wondered off or did nothing but kim, and they got really

excited about her, she just obliged and seemed to likejumping. so they could move the landing platform around and put it higher or lower and she would jump on command. back to our main story, the us pulling out of the iran nuclear deal. we can speak now to ambassador peterjenkins. he's a former uk ambassador to the international atomic energy agency. thank you for talking to us. what do you make of what you have heard from the white house? ifi sound disappointed it would suggest i expected something different, and i did not. i felt for expected something different, and i did not. ifelt for many expected something different, and i did not. i felt for many months that this was going to happen. nonetheless it is obviously very bad news. i was rather shocked by some of the things president trump said today. it is nonsense to suggest that this agreement with iran is flawed. he had some rather more

worse terms than that. in fact, this agreement is fit for purpose, entirely. it gives the international atomic energy agency unprecedented powers to monitor and investigate iran's nuclear programme. it is also nonsense to imply, as trumpeted, that iran is seeking nuclear weapons and that a bigger and better deal is neededin and that a bigger and better deal is needed in order to prevent iran getting nuclear weapons. all in all, this was a black day. where does that leave the deal? how viable is it without the us? the remaining signatories say they would like to continue. is it realistic? yes. entirely realistic. there is nothing intrinsic to the deal that means if one party pulls out the other parties cannot make it their business to ensure that the deal survives. already, thank goodness,

the three european powers and the eu have made it clear that it is their intention to make sure the deal survives. and also, thankfully, iran's president, hassan rouhani, has said that although he has given orders for the iranians atomic energy organisation to be on stand—by to resume enriching uranium on an industrial scale, this order will not take effect for several more weeks and i think what that means is that he wants to discuss with the europeans and also with russia and china, who are parties to this agreement, whether they are ready, and i think they will be, to do their very best to compensate iranfor do their very best to compensate iran for the loss of economic benefits that cannot be prevented from insulin upon the us decision.

you think this deal can survive but what about the secondary sanctions? donald trump said he would reinstate sanctions at the very toughest level. they are going to affect anybody who wants to trade with iran realistically? they will only actually be a deterrent for banks and companies that have exposure in the us. it is only in the us that the us. it is only in the us that the us. it is only in the us that the us treasury can find —— can find banks —— can impose fines on european banks. there are many banks that don't have us interests and there is the possibility that european and asian governments can find ways of creating mechanisms for trade and the transfer of capital which will be immune from american

secondary sanctions. we saw boris johnson going across the atlantic to make a last—ditch appeal to president trump not to do this. what do you think the uk will do next? president trump not to do this. what do you think the uk will do next7m has already been announced by a joint statement from the uk, france and germany, that they will work with the rest of the eu and with russia and china to preserve the deal. thank you very much for joining us. it's known for its exclusive guest list and its extravagant outfits. and this year the met gala did not disappoint. the theme was heavenly bodies: fashion and the catholic imagination. goddesses, angels and a pope—inspired gown were showcased on the red carpet. neda tawfik reports. the grand staircase of the met gala was full of divine inspiration.

angelic halos, bejewelled crosses, and flowing robes ruled the red carpet. the theme of this year's costume ball was heavenly bodies and the catholic imagination. so the who's who of fashion, hollywood, sports and music dressed in their sunday's best. i thought this theme was actually really playful and extremely meaningful and fun, and there's a lot you could do with such an incredible theme, creatively. rihanna was a show—stopper in this jewel encrusted pope outfit. the singer was a co—host of the evening along with donatella versace, and amal clooney, who wore this gown inspired by stained—glass. not the easiest thing to manoeuvre. look after look dazzled at fashion's biggest night. i think one of the most amazing things is to see people really focus on fashion. i know the oscars, golden globes, it is about that industry, and people love to dress,

but this is about our industry. and it's about designers being fearless and being able to create in a way that they normally might not be able to create. it is always such a magical night. you feel like cinderella coming up these stairs, and you know, getting dressed up and having such a fantasy. it may seem controversial to pair the superficial with the sacred. but the vatican has actually blessed this exhibition. they have loaned dozens of rare items including one tiara with 18,000 diamonds in it to be displayed. many of the items have never been seen outside the vatican before. this year involved actual negotiations with the vatican for a very long time. and it's a wonderful thing to bring all this extraordinary clothing and objets from the vatican. if some young person comes to see the fashion but sees the exhibition as well that is a great achievement. so the crossover is what i love about it.

the invitation—only event is always full of surprises. and the designs never disappoint. nada tawfik, bbc news, new york. donald trump has pulled america out of the iran nuclear deal. in an address at the white house, the us president said the current deal doesn't stop iran from making nuclear weapons in the future. we've now heard from former us president barack obama. the iran deal was his signature foreign policy achievement. in a statement he says: '...i believe that the decision to put the jcpoa at risk without any iranian violation of the deal is a serious mistake." thanks for watching. over the next week or so weather

the world's leading state sponsor of terror will be on the cusp of acquiring the world's most dangerous weapons. the iranians warned there would be consequences and accused mrtrump of engaging in psychological warfare. translation: i have ordered the atomic energy organisation of iran to be ready to start the enrichment of uranium at industrial levels.
