but iran's supreme leader has threatened that his country will also pull out of the deal — unless it gets guarantees it can still trade with europe. the nuclear agreement, signed three years ago lifted sanctions on iran in exchange for limits on its nuclear programme. 0ur diplomatic correspondent james landale reports. in the diplomatic room of the white house, a signature that president trump's critics said was anything but diplomatic, formally ending us support for the international deal to curb iran's nuclear ambitions. in tehran‘s parliament, mps shouted "death to america" and burned the us flag and a copy of the agreement. the country's supreme leader, ali khamenei, warned that iran would abandon the deal too, unless european countries guaranteed they would continue to trade.

translation: if you can get a guarantee that we can put confidence in, then you can continue. if you don't succeed in obtaining a definitive guarantee — and i really doubt that you can — at that moment, we cannot continue like this. for he knows that many in iran already believe the nuclear deal hasn't provided the economic benefits they were promised. and on the streets of tehran today, people were worried at what the crisis would mean for them. translation: the first feeling i got was that i should not stay here any more. even when we didn't have sanctions, our economy was terrible. and with this decision, i don't know what will happen. translation: we are living in hope, and i hope our leaders will take decisions to limit the damage to our country. under the deal, sanctions were lifted so iran was able to do more trade, such as buying aircraft from firms like airbus in return for limiting its nuclear programme.

the question now is whether european companies will risk un sanctions and continue their trade. the politicians insist the deal must be saved. we continue to believe the iran nuclear deal was an important step forward in helping to keep the world safe and, as i say, there are other issues that need to be worked on, and both i and the foreign secretary will be continuing to work on those with our european and other allies. translation: ouraim is clear. we remain committed to this nuclear deal, not only for our own interests. that's why we will be working on this deal to have a future. despite president trump's claims, the international atomic energy agency confirmed today that iran was implementing its commitments under the nuclear deal. the president's advisers, though, were unrepentant. iran is bringing us closer to war with its belligerent activity in iraq and syria. you know, they've been moving missiles. the revolutionary guard's quds force has been moving missiles

into syria that can hit any target inside israel. that's why we have seen recent israeli strikes. it's that aggressive militant behaviour by iran on the ground which is the real threat. so this crisis is notjust about trade, it's also about instability in the middle east. the israeli—occupied golan heights were put on alert overnight after some iranian revolutionary guards were reportedly killed over the border in syria after a suspected israeli air strike. james landale, bbc news. one of those leading efforts to salvage the deal is president macron of france. our correspondent lucy williamson is in paris. what can he do to try to keep the deal alive? that is the big question, he has made a lot of his close personal relationship with donald trump and has not hidden the fa ct donald trump and has not hidden the fact that they do differ hugely on

some of these big issues. iran being the most pressing at the moment. so where does it go from here, there are officials here who say that they are officials here who say that they are starting to study the terms of the sanctions regime to say if there isa the sanctions regime to say if there is a solution or some loophole or some way that this deal can be saved even with the us withdrawing and despite what donald trump said about applying sanctions to allied nations who trade with iran. there's also the possibility some analysts are saying that there will be a sector by sector approach and french officials are perhaps talking about turn to negotiate with the us for certain exemptions, some waivers for key industries. it is very important to european companies notjust politically for the politicians but for france for example which has tripled its trade with iran since the deal was signed. some very big companies, are bus, ran out, peugeot, very big french companies

who have done deals with iran in the two years since then. thank you very much for the —— for that. our chief international correspondent lyse doucet is with me now — and she's reported extensively from iran. what is the reaction inside iran and the political ramifications?” what is the reaction inside iran and the political ramifications? i think a mixture of defiance and also a lot of nervousness. this deal has not worked out the way a majority of iranians expected. people remember the scenes ofjubilation injuly 2015, iranians poured into the street thinking this would end of the punishing sanctions and the beginning of a new relationship with the west. there is a joke in iran that it the west. there is a joke in iran thatitis the west. there is a joke in iran that it is the most pro—american country in the world and now has four to where we are now, for those hardliners opposing the deal they feel that they have been vindicated. they were burning copies of the nuclear deal today in parliament and

shouting death to america. that is a chat you hurt a lot less after the deal was signed in 2015. there is a rallying around president rouhani now, this was his signature achievement, butjust a matter of time before we have the hardliners settling in and trying to take political advantage. and of course it is the hardliners in the revolutionary guards that are in charge of iranians activities abroad. so you will see the impact a toe on the economy and also abroad with growing tensions on the borders including the syrian border, and the border with lebanon and israel. while some people say that iran has used the agreement basically to expand its influence in iraq and syria, and lebanon and so on. iran was expanding its influence in iraq and syria and lebanon when it was under the most crippling sanctions ever imposed by the entire

international community including russia and china. it is still —— it still managed to increase its influence and its lay of these countries. it has continued that but it has many ways and means to continue to consolidate its influence and does not need the end of sanctions. the allegation is that they used some of this money, money that had been frozen as part of the pressures against iran, but this is a political tool for president trump and his national security adviser, formike and his national security adviser, for mike pompeo, they have long talked about regime change in iran, they want to stop what they see as malign iranian activities and to go even further. along with the saudis and the israelis we think that is what they want to see, to put an end to the growing influence of iran in the region which they see as threatening. it is a matter of time before we see how iran will respond. donald trump has said that he will personally greet three

american prisoners freed from north korea when they land at andrews air force base at two o'clock in the morning. he called their release a "positive gesture of goodwill". earlier the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, met kimjong—un to discuss the upcoming summit with the us president. president trump has tweeted in celebration of the release. he described the freed prisoners as "three wonderful gentlemen that everyone is looking so forward to meeting", saying the men seemed to be in good health and were flying home with secretary of state mike pompeo. he added: "good meeting with kim jong—un. date and place set." the president says he will be there in maryland in the early hours of tomorrow when the three arrive, tweeting: "i will be there to greet them.

very exciting!" let's talk to our correspondent barbara plett usher in washington. i guess donald trump will see this asa i guess donald trump will see this as a diplomatic victory, the release of these three american citizens. as a diplomatic victory, the release of these three american citizenslj of these three american citizens.” think it is a diplomatic victory, this issue is nose in north korea is very vexed and you remember the last one came back with a very distressing condition, with severe brain damage. it was quite a negative thing. so now the three prisoners had been released and a p pa re ntly prisoners had been released and apparently they were able to walk unassisted under the plane are in reasonably good health, according to mike pompeo, that will be seen as a victory and he will make the most of it. he did flag it up yesterday during the iran announcement or at least that is secular state was in north korea so that made us wonder whether he had moved up the iran announcement in order to make the connection. we do not know that, is

the relative —— a reality tb start making his own show, maybe maybe not. i think also we will get details of the date and time of this summit, they have been decided. donald trump said that would be announced in the next three days and would not be he said in the demilitarised zone between north and south korea which is one of the venues that he had discussed as being a possibility. the government has narrowly beaten an opposition attempt to launch the second stage of the leveson inquiry into the press. the amendment to the data protection bill had been put forward by the former labour leader ed milliband. lets join our political correspondent, vicky young. you will remember back in 2011 in the wake of phone hacking allegations the lead with an enquiry was launched looking into the relationship between the price,

politicians and the police. —— the press. that was always meant to pipe but earlier this year the government announced it would not go ahead with the second stage. this will seem very much as a betrayal by those who we re very much as a betrayal by those who were the victims of phone hacking, many of them of course very high profile and they have been campaigning ever since to try to get the government to change its mind today there was an impassioned plea from the former labour leader ed miliband saying that the house of commons had a duty to go ahead with it. madam deputy speaker, no ifs, no buts, no maybes, a clear promise and a promise to victims, a promise to victims of the press. and here we come along today and we have the government saying, lets dump this promise. it's too expensive, it's a distraction. how dare they, madam deputy speaker, how dare they to the mccanns, the dowlers, all those other victims. how can we be here, madam deputy speaker, i say to members across this house — no, i will not give way —

i say to members across this house whatever party they are in, this is about our honour, this is a matter of honour about the promise we made. i give way to the honourable gentleman. ed miliband there quoting the former prime minister david cameron has said that he would make sure that second stage of the ederson enquiry happen. today the culture secretary warned of two fairground workers have been found guilty of manslaughter

by gross negligence after a seven—year—old girl died on a bouncy castle they were operating in essex. summer grant died after the inflatable blew away with her inside it. william thurston and his wife, shelby thurston, will be sentenced next month. jo black reports. seven—year—old summer grant was on a day out to an easter funfair with her family. she was playing on a bouncy castle known as a circus superdome. butjust a few minutes before she was due to get off, it flew into the air while she was still inside. the court heard that the circus superdome blew from its moorings and bounced around 300 metres down the park, hitting a tree, before it came to a rest. summer died from her injuries. that easter saturday was cold and windy. the court was told the inflatable should only have been operated in wind speeds of up to 2a miles

an hour, but that on the day of the accident, the attraction remained open despite gusts of more than 35 miles an hour. the couple responsible for the inflatable they, william and shelby thurston, told police it was caught by a sudden gust of wind. they said they had been monitoring the weather and planned to deflate the dome, but thought that summer should be allowed the chance to finish her turn. the couple were also accused of failing to anchor the dome to the ground adequately. this should have been a happy family day out at the funfair and it resulted in summer's death and i hope that these convictions today will offer small comfort to summer's family. at summer's school in norwich, teachers and classmates have created a garden in her memory. summer was a really lovely little girl, she broughtjoy to everyone, she was very kind and considerate,

she was a bit cheeky times like all children are. but she was fun and she is missed by everybody. two years on from the accident, summer's family and friends say they remain heartbroken at the loss of a bright and loving little girl. joe black, bbc news. our correspondent, jo black, was in court in chelmsford today when the verdicts were read out. pot one at chelmsford crown court was packed out as the verdicts were handed out after two p:m.. the defendants looked straight ahead and was sony faced at the guilty verdicts handed down. members of their extended family were in the court room attending the trial every day, they got very upset when the verdicts were given. the prosecution in this case said that others were at risk at harlow town park because of the actions of the defendants. but it was summer grant who suffered

the consequences. speaking after court today, the senior investigating officer said in this case, there were no winners. the thurstons put profit before safety, they had huge pressure, that was for they had huge pressure, that was for the safety of children, other people's loved ones. they put profit first and they ignored the rules and regulations, they did not conduct the checks they should and sadly, summer the checks they should and sadly, summer has lost her life. gross negligence is the highest level of negligence. extremely high. and they we re negligence. extremely high. and they were grossly negligent. in terms of sentencing, thejudge were grossly negligent. in terms of sentencing, the judge said all options are open, and i will seriously consider imprisonment, in respect of those defendants. and we expect sentencing to happen here in around four weeks' time. this is bbc news at

an iranian—american journalist who joins us from washington dc. more on that main story. thank you for being with us. your thoughts on what happens now to this nuclear deal, can be salvaged by the other powers who signed up to years ago? it is unclear and depends on the european partners, the european union has said they are going to protect their companies who are doing business with the iranians from the us sanctions but it is not clear how the europeans will do this. they can make critical state m e nts this. they can make critical statements ponder when it comes to economic and financial ties, if they

are going to choose between the us economy, the largest in the world and the iranian economy which is a small economy compared to the us, if that would be a hard decision, i do not see much hope at least within the iranian people to think that europeans would choose iran over the us. as an iranian american what did you make of the decision by donald trump to pull out of the agreement. he said there was a horrible deal and did not cover ballistic missiles, did not take into account what iran is doing tried to expand its influence in iraq and syria and lebanon. as an iranian and american i think that oil out of this deal would no alternative was the wrong decision. it was not the perfect deal it did not answer these other concerns that are notjust concerns for president trump but are widely shared in the international community. around and its abuse of

civil rights at home and abroad but this deal did become successful, it focused on now issues and it took two years just to negotiate and come to an agreement on this very narrow topic. so if president trump wanted topic. so if president trump wanted to address these are the topics he did not need to unravel something that was already working, he could have addressed these other issues beyond the nuclear deal worth up many people tried to compare this to the case of north korea but i want to keep these within the example of iran, president trump talks about a new deal or better deal but how are the iranians going to come back to the iranians going to come back to the table if you're already unravelling something that was made asa unravelling something that was made as a deal and the united states basically violated. i just ain't that the road ahead is very unclear and it does not seem that the administration has a clear plan for that. but inside iran many people do

not like this agreement, the hardliners in particular and they will be quite happy to see it fall apart. of course, the hardliners in iranjust as apart. of course, the hardliners in iran just as here apart. of course, the hardliners in iranjust as here in apart. of course, the hardliners in iran just as here in washington, apart. of course, the hardliners in iranjust as here in washington, and in israel, they were all along opposed to the negotiations and then finally the deal and they could not defend it back when it was struck. there are now set to be happy, we had images of hardline members of parliament banning the deal papers and the american flag in the parliament today and chanting, death to america. so that crowd will be the ones that will be emboldened and they will tell the moderates, we told you so, we cannot trust the americans and there is some point to that, this was a deal the international community and even the us state department and sexually defence said that it seems that iran is complying with those commitments and yet the united states became the

party that violated it. so now frantic efforts by the european powers to keep this alive, do you think it can stay alive without america in its? it seems not europeans want iran to abide by its commitment, to lead its nuclear programme contained and let inspections happen but in return what iran wanted was economic and that the not specifically from the us but at at least one europeans without the fear of punishment from the us. if that is going to loom over european companies, the uncertainty that they would be punished by us sanctions or would have to choose between doing business with iran or the us, i do not know how the iranians will get back as much as they want in return for the concessions they made on their nuclear deal. so it is not an easy thing to guess at this stage but it depends really on the european and how much they can stand to this both politically and also

economically. thanks so much for being with us. bmw are recalling more than 300,000 cars because of a safety issue concerning their power supply. the recall affects several models produced between march 2007 and august 2011. it follows an investigation by the bbc‘s watchdog programme, which showed vehicles could cut out completely while being driven. victoria fripp has more. it is the vehicles manufactured between 2007 and 2011 and a much bigger expansion of recall that happened back in 2016. in fact ten times larger but not all bmw customers if they had been affected will get a letter in the post in the next three weeks and

in that letter will be some advice on how to get your car booked in for work and offers the also this will be at no cost to the customer. this particular for be at no cost to the customer. this particularfor is be at no cost to the customer. this particular for is the point at which the battery is connected to the fuse box by a cable and that point between the cable and the fuse box through wear and tear can degrade and caused total power failure. this announcement of the recall is years after we had a similar one in the us for half a million vehicles and other places like australia and south africa as well. consumer groups are questioning why it has taken so long for this recall to happen here. this is a very serious issue only last week an inquest heard details of how a man was killed trying to avoid a car that had stalled on a road as a result of a total power failure in the early hours of christmas day in 2016. the inquest into that death is ongoing. the dv fa, the vehicle standards

agency, says it does not have the powers to make manufacturers do safety recalls the department of transport says it is looking at trying to increase theirs enforcement powers to make sure drivers are protected from unsafe vehicles on the roads. a scotland yard database on gangs is stigmatising and racially discriminating against young black men, according to a report by amnesty international uk. it's called the "gang violence matrix" and it's under investigation by the information commissioner. the metropolitan police say the database has helped save lives. our home affairs correspondent june kelly reports. it was the 2011 riots, which began in tottenham and spread across london, which spawned the gangs matrix. police began compiling intelligence on individuals said to have been identified as being part of a gang, including those with no history of violence. today's report by amnesty international found that, of the 3,806 people whose details are held on the matrix,

99% are male, 78% are black, and the youngest is just 12 years old. and, at a news conference, among amnesty‘s many concerns is the way this information is being shared. we hear stories of this following people through their lives, so from housing association to schools to job centres, where people are being treated differently. in response, the met police insisted that only selected information will be shared. and said, any action taken by partner organisations should not be instigated solely on a person's name being on the gang matrix. dal babu, a former borough commander in the met, believes the matrix does raise equality issues for the force, but he can see its value. the positives are considerable. you're bringing together a database of individuals who are vulnerable.

it is about identifying those individuals and then making sure there is support for those individuals, speaking to social workers, youth workers, people in the community. it might be housing, teachers, schools, to look at how you can support those individuals. but the database has been denounced by campaigners involved with young black people. and one former gang member who now works to teach others about this world, says the matrix is not for the vulnerable. if you want to help people, you should not need to criminalise them to give them support. you can easily support someone without putting them on a database. once you are on a database, no one asks any questions as to whether you are on that as a vulnerable person orjust for support. the capital has seen a spate of violent crime involving young victims. today's report stresses the majority of knife crime is not regarded as gang—related. june kelly, bbc news. in a minute, we'll have the latest weather.

but first , madame tussauds has finished its waxwork of soon—to—be royal bride meghan markle. she joins the rest of the royal family on display at the london attraction and she's been placed next to a re—styled figure of her groom, prince harry. in the waxwork of megan markle, she's wearing a replica of her engagement ring. the display will open to the public on 19 may — the day of the royal wedding. this is a very lifelike phil, as promised! no pressure on the 19th, not sure if iam working. no pressure on the 19th, not sure if i am working. there was pressure today and as the cloud filled in, the rain arrived. it looks dramatic on the latest raid. most of it is light and patchy. not many will see more than ten millimetres of rain.

you will not see it in east anglia and the south east until well after dark. here, about midnight, it is still to the west of the meridian. until the small hours, what is left staggered is towards the eastern pa rt staggered is towards the eastern part of the british isles, clearer skies behind. not a cold night, as you would hope for the early part of may, but the calls stopped to thursday. some doubt about how fast the rain will quit the scene from east anglia and the saudis, but it will i assure you. eventually, a decent day with dry weather for england and wales. passing showers in northern ireland and scotland, but many even here will stay dry with the spread of temperatures no more 20s, that is it. this is bbc news. the headlines: anger in iran's parliament, as donald trump withdraws from the iran nuclear deal. european leaders have spoken out, in an bid to save the agreement. north korea has released three us citizens from detention following a second visit to the country by us secretary of state mike pompeo. bmw has recalled more than 300,000 cars in the uk,

after safety concerns were raised in a bbc investigation. a couple are found guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence after the death of a seven—year—old girl on a fairground bouncy castle. sport now. good afternoon. kyle edmund is playing the best tennis of his life. they are the words of novak djokovic, after losing to the british number one at the madrid open. edmund will now climb into the world's top 20 for the first time. jim lumsden was watching the action. with andy murray struggling to return from hip surgery, time for kyle edmund to step out of his shadows. you sort of daniel medvedev yesterday with ease, a tough test waited in the form of the 12 time grand slam champion. edmund was not fazed, cruising through the first set 6—3. the servers —— the survey

has found difficulty finding form. he secured a top wind against a top 20 opponent beating k nishikori on monday but edmund's serb began to fail, broken early in the second, he struggled to recover and djokovic went on to wind the set 6—2 and level the match. the british number one lost all three prior meetings with djokovic, this was the first on clay and again it began to lose weight. 6-3, 6—3, he won the deciding set, a victory which sees him sort into the top 20. he has a unique game style and it is very tough to break down, especially the speed of his movement. and how many balls he is able to get back. so i knew trying to move him was not going to be the right way. luckily, i have an aggressive game style and i feel a do it well so i knew i had to impose that. especially in the first set and at the end of the third, doing

that helped. meanwhile, serena williams has pulled out of this month's italian open, just five days after she opted out of the madrid open. the 23—time grand slam champion says she needs more time to prepare for her first clay season since giving birth in september. her decision puts in doubt her participation at the french open, which starts on the 27th of may. the 36 year old hasn't played a match on clay since reaching the final at roland garros in 2016. chris froome is 57 seconds behind leader rohan dennis after stage five of the giro d'italia. the three—time tour de france winner was among the chasing pack but didn't come close to winning the sprint stage, which local favourite enrico battaglin took. better news for simon yates, though — he finished in fifth and remains third overall, just 17 seconds off the lead. tomorrow's stage is a tough climb up mount etna! tiger woods has confirmed he will take part in this year's open championship at carnoustie. the former world number one last appeared in golf‘s oldest major in 2015. he's won the claretjug three times, but has struggled with injuries in recent years. he underwent spinal fusion surgery

in april last year and only returned to competitive golf at the end of last year. huddersfield can ensure they won'tjoin west brom and stoke in being relegated from the premier league this evening. david wagner's side need a point from their last two games to guarantee safety. it won't be easy, they face arsenal on sunday, but before that, travel to chelsea, who are looking for a top fourfinish. nothing is easy but we said we will try it, we will fight for it, we will work for it, we will try to make something like what looks like an impossible task. we will work to make something possible. and firstly, we have to be focused on our performance that we reach our level, our highest level and maybe we get this result and we work for it. maybe not, we will see. that's all the sport for now.

but a reminder, all the build—up to tonight's premier league matches — and the games in the scottish premiership — over on the website. for now, back to you. let's return to our main story. european leaders are fighting to salvage the iran nuclear deal after president trump's decision to pull out of it. here, the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, has told the house of commons that britain will continue to honour the deal, and said the world should hold president donald trump to his stated aim of finding a new solution to the iranian nuclear threat. britain has no intention of walking away. instead, we will cooperate with the other parties to ensure that while iran continues to restrict its nuclear programme, then its people will benefit from sanctions relief in accordance with the central bargain of the deal. i cannot yet go into detail on the steps we propose to take, but i hope to make them available as soon as possible. and i spoke yesterday to my french

and german counterparts. despite opposition from britain, france and germany, president trump has said he will re—instate sanctions on iran. these are some of the areas affected: after a 90—day period, sanctions will be re—imposed on iran's trade in gold and precious metals. and its trade in metals such as aluminium and steel, the purchase of us dollars, will also be under sanction. after 180—day sanctions will hit iran's energy sector. port operators and shipping lines will also be affected. as will financial transactions with iran's central bank. well, to discuss this further, i can now speak to lord lamont — the former conservative chancellor, and chair of the british iranian chamber of commerce. let's get his thoughts. thank you so much for being with us. how could

this impact british business, do you think? well, it doesn't impact the uk economy hugely because british trade with iran is really quite small compared with france and germany and italy. but it is a huge emerging market. and with sanctions relief, the potential is huge. and it isa relief, the potential is huge. and it is a great pity british business, if donald trump had his way, would be completely locked out of it. it isn't important market folk song, but britain has not really done that enoughin but britain has not really done that enough in the past. donald trump has said this is a horrible deal that should never have been signed in the first place. surely commercial motivations should not be reason enough to support it? well, that might be but i would strongly disagree with donald trump's remarks about the deal. i think the fact by two has reduced its stockpile of uranium, taken lots of steps, opened

itself up to continuous inspection, i think this is a great plus for the world. it makes it clear iran cannot divert its nuclear programme into a weapons programme. and that is surely a much better bet than putting iran back in a box and just hoping it will behave itself. i think that is the way to encourage iran to be irresponsible. this was a deal signed in good faith. if you wa nt to deal signed in good faith. if you want to encourage states to behave according to international norms, it is not a very good way to go about it by tearing up an agreement we have made with it. but critics would say iran is not behaving better, it is behaving that may be even worse and trying to expand its influence in iraq, syria, yemen, lebanon, all over the place. the deal was about the nuclear programme and not iranian warren policy. you talk

about donald trump putting sanctions back on, america never really lifted sanctions and iran feels it never got the benefit from the deal and it feels double—crossed by the united states. the deal was not about iran's foreign policy. sometime, america refused to discuss syria with iran. if you want to discuss syria and yemen and if you want to find a political and said to these problems, you build on good relations, you build any agreement you have signed and you don't tear it up and expect them to cooperate with you. do you think european powers, britain, france, germany, the other signatories of the deal three years ago, can they sell budget now if the united states is not part of the agreement? -- can they salvage it. i am grateful to they salvage it. i am grateful to the foreign secretary for saying thatis the foreign secretary for saying that is what europe is going to try to do and i hope they succeed, but i think it is very difficult because

one of the reasons iran feels it has not got the benefit of the deal a nyway not got the benefit of the deal anyway is because european banks have been very frightened of american sanctions anyway. america a lwa ys american sanctions anyway. america always retains sanctions on banking to do with iran. that has made european banks who deal in dollars and may have american personnel and american officers, it made them very relu cta nt to american officers, it made them very reluctant to finance trade or accept payments for goods sold to iran. so ina way, payments for goods sold to iran. so in a way, it is very difficult to separate american sanctions from european business. we would talking to our chief international correspondent earlier who were suggesting perhaps the white house and the trump leadership, there are really overriding —— the overriding aim is to bring down the current iranian leadership, gc that ultimately been behind this? some people in the white house would want to do that, some people in american

politics would want to do that. i'm sure there is a degree of dissatisfaction with the regime in iran, buti dissatisfaction with the regime in iran, but i think threatening the country and putting pressure on it will merely solidify the people of iran behind their government and against what they see as a threat to their country. they are extremely patriotic, the iranians. i think the only way in which to change, if you wa nt to only way in which to change, if you want to change the behaviour of iran, is to engage with it, make it pa rt iran, is to engage with it, make it part of the world economy, make it interact with other countries. that is what the pragmatic president rouhani, who has been twice elected in elections, that is what he wants to do. and american behaviour is merely strengthening the hardliners, his opponents. i think this is a terrible tragedy, frankly.” his opponents. i think this is a terrible tragedy, frankly. i am grateful to you for your time, thank you so much. thank you. mps have accused the government of ‘failing a generation‘ with their strategy on child mental health services.

a joint report by the commons education and health committees says many children will miss out on getting the help they need because planned improvements won't be made in time. our social affairs correspondent, alison holt, reports. with the exam season already under way, this is a time of extra pressure for many young people. for some, that leads to anxiety and mental health issues. when 18—year—old chloe struggled with increasing stress, she found that, like many others, she faced a long wait for the services she needed. i didn't get much help, really, to start with. i went to the doctors injune 2016 and then i think my wait for referral was until october time. which is like the start of october, i think it was. and then within that time, i ended up in hospital, after trying to take my own life. so i think the wait for me was quite long. not as long as other people's, but for me, it was long enough. today's report describes

the government's strategy to improve child and adolescent mental health services as lacking ambition. those plans include linking mental health teams to schools and four—week waiting times to access services. but the mps say the current timetable will take too long to roll out across the country and most children won't benefit. crucially, their plan does not seek to actually prevent mental ill—health in our young people in the first place. there's nothing for the under—fives and there's nothing to tackle the gross inequalities that we see in mental health. we know that an 11 year old from the most deprived background is three to four times more likely to suffer than an 11—year—old from the least deprived background, and the government has no plans to address this. young people tell us sometimes at the age of 18 that it's like falling off a cliff edge in terms of services. they get good holistic services from cams teams — child and adolescent mental health services — but then when they reach the age of 18, they need to be transferred to adult services

and they feel that their needs are not met in the same way. the government rejects the criticisms and says its strategy, backed by extra staff and more money, will transform mental health services for young people. alison holt, bbc news. bbc bosses have defended their use of a helicopter during coverage of a police raid on sir cliff richard's home in 2014, following a child sex assault allegation. sir cliff, who is suing the bbc over the coverage of the search on his home in august 2014, said it was a very serious invasion of his privacy. sir cliff was never arrested or charged. our correspondent, helena lee, has been in court for us. what happened in court today? we have been hearing very complex legal cases from the past today. we have been hearing from the bbc‘s barrister gavin miller qc in court today. the bbc‘s case is that this is the first time such a claim has

been brought to trial in this country. cliff's case, says the bbc, is against the bbc, raising issues of great importance for the freedom of great importance for the freedom of press in this country. gavin miller qc touched on the bbc‘s duty to report the investigation and he said it had a duty to report it when that search was carried out. and in court today, he says, the very fact that the warrant was executed in play is a level of substance to the investigation, that the press could not ignore. he also went on to talk about sir cliff richard's fame and he said that because of the way sir cliff richard has used his fame to give his opinions on moral and religious issues, gavin miller said he must accept some reduction in his private life. now, we know that sir cliff richard wants damages at the very top end of the scale. it was revealed yesterday in the region of

around £600,000. that does not include the cost of bringing the case to court. at the end of today, thejudge, he said as case to court. at the end of today, the judge, he said as we expected, he would reserve judgment in this case and he would still have the judgment in due course. he has not specified when that will be but we expect it to be some weeks away. thank you very much indeed. this is bbc news at five. the headlines: european leaders fight to save the iran nuclear agreement, after president trump's decision to abandon the deal. three us citizens are on their way home, after being released from detention in north korea. bmw recalls more than 300,000 cars in the uk, over safety concerns. an update on the market numbers for you. here's how london and frankfurt ended the day. almost a year on from

the grenfell tower fire, a children's book has been published featuring two of the victims. marco gottardi and gloria trevisan were a young italian couple who moved to london to find work as architects. but only a few months later, they were both killed in the tragedy. sofia bettiza has the story. the jewel of italy, venice. 700 miles away from london, and yet these two cities are connected by tragedy. marco and gloria, an italian couple in their 20s, died at the top of the grenfell tower inferno last june. it's strange to think that a dreadful fire so far away in london could have such big repercussions in this corner of italy. but this is where marco and gloria grew up, fell in love, and decided to travel to the uk — a move that would mean grenfell tower became home.

marco's mother, who had visited grenfell, says she's been devastated by the loss of her only son. translation: there are no words to describe the pain you feel for the death of a son. for mums, for me, i wish it would have happened to me too because it's a pain you carry with you all the time. if there are 2a hours in a day, i sufferfor 25. and so, to try to ease that pain, she started to write a book about marco and gloria. that's how the knight and the princess came to life. in it, the couple become fairytale characters who decide to move to a high tower in a faraway land. the book was created with the help of family and friends. marco's childhood friend, roberta, did all the drawings. translation: this gave me the strength to go on. it's not fair to keep quiet. we need to remember all those people who died in that tower — who died for nothing.

but unlike real life, the book gives the couple's story a happy ending. marco's mum hopes that the tale of their loss will lead to tower blocks being safer in the future, and she has another hope. with this book, i want to show how two very simple people can leave such a wonderful memory on the world. i hope they are happy somewhere else. there are concerns that former british soldiers and police officers could be unfairly targeted, under new plans to investigate unsolved killings from the troubles in northern ireland. the government is creating a new body to carry out historical investigations, but critics say it could lead to former military personnel being dragged through the courts unnecessarily. here's our ireland correspondent, emma va rdy.

from the darkest days of the conflict in northern ireland, there is much that remains unresolved. when british soldiers fired shots at a civil rights march in 1972... the first body i saw was that of a youth... 13 unarmed protesters were killed, in what came to be known as bloody sunday. john kelly's brother was one of them. as far as i'm concerned, this soldier should be prosecuted. and every soldier who killed people on bloody sunday must be prosecuted. because it was pure, blatant murder. there are more than 1,000 unsolved killings from the period known as the troubles, for which there have never been any prosecution. the government now plans to set up an independent organisation to investigate these.

but some conservative mps strongly object to the idea that former soldiers, now elderly veterans, could be pursued over cases dating back nearly a0 or 50 years. this process cannot go on indeterminatly for our veterans. it's pretty simple, really — they were doing the government's bidding and the government should look after them. a controversial proposal to prevent the prosecution of veterans for offences connected to the troubles now appears to have been dropped. the bbc understands several ministers, including the defence secretary gavin williamson, have said the new proposals are unacceptable. they are concerned there is too much emphasis on investigating former soldiers and not enough scrutiny of paramilitaries. the status quo we see at the moment sees disproportionate emphasis on the actions of the military and law enforcement during the troubles. but the police service of northern ireland has previously provided figures which appear to disprove any claims of military veterans being unfairly targeted. investigating unsolved killings is an important part

an auction record for the french master. it used to hang in david rockefeller‘s home in new york state. hundreds of pieces from the late billionaire's collection are among items being sold by auction houses. it's going to be an extraordinary season. there's no question. we've seen a lot of great works of art in recent times on the auction market, but never anything quite like this. i think what we have seen, however, is, the market is very driven by quality and where you see works really of the first quality, then the demand exists to absorb an awful lot of them. the big question this season, in terms of business,

was — will collectors confide us with works, given that there was already rockefeller? and, actually, they did. and a lot of collectors wanted to be part of this tide lifting all boats. and that's why i think, partly why we have one of the most incredible sales. at $102 million. selling... looking . good looking good???” t looking goodzthis' 7
