9:02 pm
and proportionate response to iran's members not to allow them the chance increasingly provocative actions. we to see a debating head to heads. so will continue to increase pressure that they can be very clear in their on tehran until the regime abandons minds as to what either of us would its dangerous activities and actually do. mrjohnson has agreed to take part aspirations, including the pursuit in a one—on—one debate of nuclear weapons, increased with mr hunt on itv on 9thjuly. enrichment of uranium, development but by then voting papers of ballistic missiles, engagement in will already have been sent to conservative party members. nonetheless mrjohnson's and support for terrorism, fuelling supporters reject the idea he's avoiding questions. here's the health secretary. of foreign conflicts and belligerent act directed against the united states and its allies. iran rejects those allegations. the deterioration dates this is going to be more than a back to last year. donald trump took the us out dozen more of these hustings around of the iran nuclear deal and reimposing sanctions. the country, there will be another now we have new sanctions and tv debate, the next one on itv. 0f course there is a huge amount of an offer to negotiate a new deal. scrutiny, and rightly so. burris has put himself forward for that. this is carrie symonds. let's speak to barbara plett she's mrjohnson's partner. and over the weekend the that usher in washington. dominted was about a row they had how out of sync are in sync with the at home in the early hours of friday. previous us policies is this? it's multiple neighbours have said they heard loud shouting and screaming — and one neighbour called the police. quite an extraordinary step, i he also recorded the row and gave a copy to the guardian.
9:03 pm
think, because it's targeting the since, mrjohnson has refused main leader of the country and even to offer an explanation. but we do have this photograph in iran, the highest official that emerged of mrjohnson and ms symonds has been targeted by sanctions sitting in a garden in sussex. before has been the head of the judiciary, so this is sending a very strong message. in terms of practical implications, the supreme leader oversees a foundation or a fund worth billions and billions of tweet @janinegibson of the ft: "very upsetting that borisjohnson dollars which includes properties and carrie symonds's privacy has and companies that were confiscated been invaded once again. after the revolution in 1979. that this time by a photographer who appears to have been hiding in exactly the right bush to capture entity gives him his economic power. a picture of them holding hands to demonstrate their love." however it came about, it had previously been sanctioned by a former administration, but this is the mesage is there for us. but the questions about why going to broaden it, this targets carrie symonds shouted ‘get off me' have not gone away. not only the ayatollah but anyone who is connected to those companies as part of that fund. also all the sonia purnell has written a biography on borisjohnson. people around him, and he has quite here's her analysis of his tactics a team around him, it kind of shadow government, really, to anyone affiliated to him is also going to at this stage in the campaign. be targeted, so quite a significant move. the iranians were keeping to their obligations under the iran nuclear deal until the americans pulled out. now they say they will
9:04 pm
he doesn't really like scrutiny. his break those in the next few days. minders are keeping in a locked box what exactly do the americans want because they know should they let him out to put himself under the them to do in order to receive glare of the media, that he might sanctions relief? they want iran to well say something that gets him into more trouble. i think it is not have any sort of nuclear programme at all. under the previous remaining out of view, the missing deal or under the existing deal that man. the fact is that that starts to be una nswerable, if the americans withdrew from, they man. the fact is that that starts to be unanswerable, if you are about to we re the americans withdrew from, they were allowed a limited amount of become prime minister, which it nuclear activity which would then, after a period of time, the looks like he is, people want to know, need to know what sort of man restrictions would drop and it could is going to be running the country go back to having an enrichment shortly. rob watson, oxford. programme along the lines of what it had before of all the monitoring to see you. how do you assess this? would be there with no weapons and so on. but the administration now 0n to see you. how do you assess this? on saturday afternoon mrjohnson had two hours of questions that he says that that is not good enough. they want a deal that would end any declined answer. this is how i would assess it which is that it seems kind of nuclear activity plus a ballistic missile programme plus absolutely indisputable to me that other elements of iran's foreign borisjohnson has absolutely indisputable to me that boris johnson has had absolutely indisputable to me that borisjohnson has had a pretty policy such as its support for catastrophic start to this final phase of the campaign to become militias in the region which would require a fundamental change in how conservative party leader. here is the government operates. that is the bit i would add, i'm not what they are aiming for and i think that's why they have the strong entirely clear that it will do any
9:05 pm
pressure campaign because they realise that iran is not going to damage amongst the electorate that he really ca res negotiate itself out of itself. the damage amongst the electorate that he really cares about, and that is the 160,000 conservative party iranians see this as a real threat activists that you mentioned because to the regime, a regime change in it seems to me that there is an this way, so the policy of the element of the trump phenomenon on administration is to try to force here, and that is people that like them to do that, to make it so brexit, that like boris johnson, difficult for them to survive will shrug their shoulders and say, economically that they will have to come to the table. it's quite a you know what, he is still our land, risky operation, quite a risky the man to deliver brexit. the same approach because, as we have seen, way that people that like president trump, they don't seem to be too iran has begun to respond and has worried about any of the stories ways it can continue to respond. that swirl around about his barbara, we will be back with you in character and judgment. here is an a couple of minutes. article i'm sure you were reading let's talk about secretary over your conflicts earlier because of state mike pompeo. borisjohnson gets he's visiting gulf allies. over your conflicts earlier because boris johnson gets paid over your conflicts earlier because borisjohnson gets paid to write this. today's effort included a warning that the uk will face what he calls a "democratic explosion" if it does in a later tweet, after a meeting not leave the eu by 31 october. with king salman, mrjohnson has also said mr pompeo said he wanted to... the "way to get a good deal is to prepare for no deal". still no detail on what that good deal would be — given the uk and eu's respective that's relevant because it's vital positions.
9:06 pm
to the oil industry. mr hunt says he would leave it divides iran and saudi arabia with no deal but that it's not his "preferred option". and it's where four tankers another factor is that today a dozen were attacked in may. or so conservative mps have said and then two more were they could support a vote of no confidence in the government to stop a no—deal brexit. attacked a fortnight ago. here's the defence minister, tobias ellwood. the american see the iranians did it and they say they did not. as well as that, the iranians shot i think ithinka i think a dozen or so members of down a us drone last week. iran says it was flying in iranian parliament would, on our side, would airspace and was shot down here, be voting against supporting no the us says it was in deal. that would include ministers international airspace here. as well as backbenchers. doesn't their tensions then ratcheted up that immediately take no deal away further. then the us then launched a cyber attack to disable iranian missile systems, as an option? let me put it this though the iranians say it wasn't successful. way, because i think you would appreciate a boiled down version. very close to where those two let's assume it is a prime minister tankers were attacked is a place called fujairah. here's tom bateman borisjohnson, that's going to have in fujairah with more on the pompeo visit. an awful lot of people swallowing. this is all about his view that a global coalition let's also assume that the european needs to be built to, in his words, union is right and they will not be push back against the iranians. he landed in saudi prepared to renegotiate the eu deal.
9:07 pm
arabia this morning. he then went to the red sea then i think the big question in and the city ofjeddah where, british politics, 0ctober at the royal palace, he was meeting king salman. also meeting the crown prince then i think the big question in british politics, october is, if borisjohnson is really determined as well at the same time for those to take britain out of the eu talks with the two most without a deal, with those in his powerful people in saudi arabia. own party, people like tobias ellwood, would they really be of course, a key gulf ally, strategic ally to the united states. we heard there from president trump prepared to bring down his government? i can't tell you the over the weekend when he talked answer to that but i do think that about a conflict in the region is potentially the question in bringing obliteration british politics in october. if i'm if that were to happen, wrong, you and everyone watching can but at the same time, he has said he is open to talks remind me of it. i will be sure to without precondition do that! one more question, the bbc and that is what us officials has a section where it compares the have been repeating. respective policies of the two candidates on brexit, education and here's an interesting tweet from so on. there isn't a great deal on donald trump on this. the different sections of that feature on the website. what is your thoughts on how much detail is being iran's foreign minister offered to the electorate? next to nothing. i think that is the brief has given his reply... thoughts. in many ways the two men are suggesting what a lot of outsiders would say is utterly
9:08 pm
they reach that conclusion for a unrealistic, they are both quite different reasons! barbara, i suggesting that somehow they could am struck as we cover the story in negotiate a better deal than theresa may did with the eu. the eu said detail how little the american seem that's not possible. both are saying to be concerned about taking their that's not possible. both are saying traditional allies with them on that if push came to shove they would be prepared to leave without a this, for instance, their european deal. but they haven't said what allies. well, they are trying to they were do about parliamentary build another coalition to isolate objections to that. they also seem to say they would be doing it iran. you know, they have a knowing it would cause economic damage. the question is, just how successful coalition before the nuclear deal was signed involving much? we will talk to you through the european allies, but also russia the week. if you want more and china, but they all had a very narrow focus which was the nuclear programme and they all were agreed on how to proceed. this is quite information, just enter the bbc news different because the americans have website. alienating their european allies and latest from ethiopia. the russians and chinese as well by police have shot dead pulling out of the nuclear deal and the suspected ringleader of a failed regional coup. now it looks like it it will be a on saturday, five senior officials — including these two on the front greater chance for conflict with no of this newspaper: a regional leader resolution in sight. the idea of and the army chief protecting the strait of hormuz is one way that the administration general seare mekonnen — wa nts to one way that the administration wants to get some greater support were assassinated map in two for what they are doing because they separate attacks — one in the capital addis ababa say the freedom of navigation is and one in the region of amhara.
9:09 pm
under threat. that's something that eve ryo ne under threat. that's something that everyone can relate to, especially this is the man police say the chinese and other asians because thatis the chinese and other asians because was behind the plot — that is a lot of oil going through a brigadier—general who was shot there so that seems to be the way while trying to escape that they are trying to expand from a hideout in amhara. support for their policy. mike others were arrested. pompeo has just been to saudi arabia, he is now in united arab there's now enormous presure emirates and one is better support on prime minister abiy ahmed. from them in waterways and wants to the men who died in the coup attempt build a coalition of dozens of were some of his closest allies. countries, 20 or more, we do not he's been widely praised for unprecedented changes know of anyone else who has signed to the military and encouraging on, but that is the strategy at the democratic processes. but his year in power has also been moment. barbara, as ever, thank you very much indeed. marked by a failure to end political the iran nuclear agreement was agreed in 2015. violence and ethnic tension. this is the signing. last june, he survived an assasination attempt — the americans, the iranians and the a grenade attack at one european union. the iranians got of his rallies. reduced sanctions in exchange for limiting their nuclear programme. then in october, armed junior soldiers stormed but since the us left the agreement the national palace. and reimposed sanctions, iran says it won't stick to the agreement. in fact, in as soon in a surreal development he says as three days' time, iran says it he diffused the situation will breach the limit by making them do push ups — andjoining in. on stockpiling enriched uranium. worth adding that this political this is how the republican senator unrest is against a backdrop of economic strength — lindsey graham views that. ethiopia has africa's fastest—growing economy.
