welcome to bbc news. i'm reged ahmad. our top stories: can iran's nuclear deal he saved? france looks into fresh talks with tehran after warnings that it's ready to enrich more uranium. dozens of migrants disembark from a rescue ship after it defied a ban to dock on the italian island of lampedusa. president hassan rouhani of iran says he's urged european countries to save the international nuclear agreement, during a phone call

with the french president emmanuel macron. iran says it will start to enrich uranium closer to a weapons grade level, if european countries don't find a way to save the nuclear deal by sunday. hussein ibish is a senior resident scholar at the arab gulf states institute in washington. he says he isn't optimistic about the current iran non—nuclear deal. i think it was dead the minute president from withdrew the united states from it and i think it's been a zombie ever since. iran has been more or less abiding by the conditions, they now say they are going to exceed their low uranium enrichment stockpiles and go beyond that in terms of stretching its limits, that i think the logic of it was destroyed when the united states left and so, while i mean it is clearly in europe's interest and iran's interests to try and string the death throws out as long as they can, ido the death throws out as long as they can, i do think this is a mission

impossible here. what then is iran's strategy? as you say, it is breaching the terms of the agreement, but at the same time it's asking europe to save the agreement. at the same time. what does it want? i think what iran wants and it extensively needs —— existentially, they need other countries, europe, east asian powers and middle east allies especially to somehow her so the united states and if you strangled by the sanctions, they are shocked by how effective they've been and the uranian economy cannot ta ke been and the uranian economy cannot take much more. it's not sustainable from the uranian regime was my point of view. they've been put in a box and they are trying desperately to get out of that. just back to what europe is looking at doing, specifically the french president, talking about conditions

for resuming talks, it's a nebulous idea. what does emmanuel macron have in mind? i don't know exactly what he has in mind. i'm sure what he's thinking is that neither side wants war which is true and that therefore there ought to be a way of using the framework of thejcpoa to create an offramp, to create a dialogue between europe and iran, that in effect is a dialogue with the united states and that serves to diffuse tensions and slowly move away from confrontation. the problem is europe doesn't have what iran wants. what iran wants is for the united states to ease the pressure on it and so the only way for the europeans to give the iranians what they want is to pressure washington but washington is not interested. and i don't see any evidence of the europeans being able to really do that or that the united states being interested. the big problem is both tehran and washington think they're operating for positions of strength here and they both think the other side is terrified and doesn't want a war. therefore, both are, even though they've probably maximised what they can achieve through maximum pressure and maximum resistance, they haven't achieved their aims so it's very dangerous situation because both sides are likely, especially the iranian side, to continue a kind of strategic recklessness that is really very, very dangerous.

it's quite a conundrum. thank you so much for your time. and that was a little bit more on the iran nuclear deal. 41 migrants on board a rescue ship that docked at an italian port without official permission have now disembarked. the ship landed on saturday on the island of lampedusa, even though italy's far—right interior minister, matteo salvini, had warned it to stay away. gareth barlow has more. another migrant rescue boat docked in the port of lampedusa despite the best efforts of the italian authorities. as the charity vessel approached the shore,

the italian coastguard made repeated demands for it to turn around. translation: i repeat the order, you have to stop. you are violating the decree released onjuly 5th 2019 and you're resisting against a military ship. on board are 41 migrant rescued from the mediterranean and now facing intolerable hygienic conditions, according to the charity that runs the boat. despite reaching a safe port, the migrants are far from welcome. that's the message from italy's interior minister matteo salvini. translation: there is this ship in the port of lampedusa but i repeat, i do not authorise anything. for me, the laws and borders are valid and must be respectively. the number of migrants reaching europe has markedly dropped in recent years, but 681 people have died in the mediterranean so far

this year, according to the international organisation for migration. just a week ago, another charity vessel defied italian authorities to dock in lampedusa. in international waters, outside the port, a third vessel is waiting with 65 people on board. italy wants other european countries to do more to help with migrants reaching europe. the migrants want the chance of a better life. gareth barlow, bbc news. residents in southern california are bracing themselves for aftershocks after the region was hit by its biggest earthquake in more than 20 years. it's the second big tremor in as many days. the epicentre of the quake was near the city of ridgecrest, north—east of los angeles. sophie long's report contains some flashing images. oh, my god... it created waves in family swimming pools and in communities across southern california. oh, my god... evacuate! two earthquakes in two days... let's go, let's go, let's go! ..spread panic. it continues to rattle...

this is a very strong earthquake. the tremor so strong... we're experiencing very strong shaking... ..even some who didn't feel it, watched it. we're gonna go to a break, we'll be right back after this. we'll be right back, we'll be right back. wow. business owners looked on as potential profits were shaken from shelves and crashed to the ground. we felt around ten or ii after—shocks. they've been coming pretty frequently and each one, they're still scary, because you almost don't know, is this going to be a full earthquake? that the epicentre was near the desert town of ridgecrest may have prevented immediate fatalities. oh, my gosh... but landslides littered roads with new danger. no serious injuries have been reported but broken gas pipes caused fires that engulfed homes in flames, left thousands without power and fear this is not yet over. it's just devastating. as people assess the damage, they brace themselves for more. the largest earthquake

in california for 20 years, a stark reminder that millions here are living along a fault line that could claim many lives at any time. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. you are watching bbc news. stay with us. still to come: a carnival of colour comes to london, britain's biggest ever pride parade. it's been another day of frantic campaigning in the race to be the next prime minister, with borisjohnson and jeremy hunt meeting conservative party members in the latest of a series of events taking place around the country. ballot papers have now been sent out to around 180,000 members with the result being announced in just over two weeks' time. today's events come as a bbc investigation has found that some members have received two ballot papers in the post.

0ur political correspondent ben wright reports. as political fights go, it's a pretty friendly affair. the two contenders for number 10 joshing with rival camps as they tour the country. it was nottingham this morning and another 0&a for the party faithful and then on to south wales for the second hustings of the day. borisjohnson dropping in on barry island on his way to cardiff. jeremy hunt running out of time to turn his self—proclaimed status as underdog around. get things wrong and there will be no conservative government, no brexit, maybe even no conservative party. but get it right, and we will deliver brexit, unite our party, unleash the potential of our amazing country. he and borisjohnson don't debate each other at these things, but they are both telling the tory faithful they would be prepared

to leave the eu without a deal despite recent warnings from people like the chancellor about the economic impact. if we had to come out on wto terms, i really think that this country has the versatility and the creativity to get through it and prosper and thrive. at the moment, it's impossible to measure what impact all these hustings are having on the minds of tory party members. they will decide who will be living here by the end of this month. conservative activists have around a fortnight to cast their vote, but today it emerged that some of them have received more than one ballot paper. according to the tory party, it now has 180,000 members, but the bbc has learned that at least 1,000 of them have received two ballot papers in the post. some, for instance, were based in more than one constituency and had joined separate local parties. others had changed their name. obviously, there is an issue here, i accept that. but rather than to get

bogged down into process, the truth is that even in a general election, people are registered in different areas. electoral law doesn't apply to this contest, but the tory party says anyone caught voting twice would be expelled. well, it's made very clear on the ballot paper that you are only allowed to vote once, and i expect the conservative members to follow that. as the campaign rolls on, the candidates' pitches are now very familiar to tory party members who are picking the next prime minister, and the onus is on just a small number of them not to break the party's own election rules. ben wright, bbc news. the brazilian singer and guitarist joao gilberto has died aged 88. singing and playing. he is considered to have revolutionised brazilian music and was best known as a pioneer

of bossa nova, derived from samba and jazz, which found international popularity in the 1960s. 0ur rio correspondent julia caneiro explains how significant his contribution to brazilian and world music was. joao gilberto was a master of brazilian music. he appeared in the 1950s and helped forge what became known as bossa nova, the rhythm that spread brazilian music across the world, and he was pretty much the inventor of a new guitar beat that was incorporated into bossa nova that mixed elements of samba and jazz and made the beat a bit — well, it was very complex but it sounded very simple, and this was mixed with his style of singing — with a very soft voice, almost as if he was whispering into someone's ear, singing to someone's ear. and this very much revolutionised the style of singing in the style of music in brazil at that time in the late 1950s, and influenced generations of brazilians after that and generations of musicians around

the world as well. he recorded songs that became standards across the world like girl from ipanema alongside saxophone player stan getz in versions that people often hear until now, and perhaps in the next elevator they go into, that will be the song playing. it's a moment of mourning. sadly over the past years, his life in brazil, he had been living pretty much in seclusion in his apartment in rio, barely leaving his apartment, and with his life plagued by debt and court disputes with his children. the last concert he gave was in 2008. so over the past years, there was lots of mystery about where he was. he was never giving any interviews,

no—one ever had any access to him. now that he has died, however, it's a period of acclamation and salutes to the giant musician that he was, the master of brazilian music, and he's being saluted as the father of bossa nova and the immense legacy that this left to brazilian culture and to world music as well. let's get some of the day's other news. the funerals 01:14 russian navy officers who were killed in a fire on a nuclear—powered submarine in the barents sea have been held in saint petersburg. all 1a officers were posthumously awarded state honours. the details of the tragedy have not been fully revealed as the deep—diving vessel is among russia's most secret military projects. a powerful explosion has ripped through a shopping mall in florida, injuring about 20 people, two of them seriously. the fire department in the town of plantation says it was a gas explosion.

the blast sent large pieces of debris across the street, blew out windows and left some buildings badly damaged. leaked emails from the british ambassador to washington have described president trump's administration as inept, insecure and incompetent. the memos from kim darroch were obtained by a british newspaper, the mail on sunday. 0ne communique from last month describes us policy towards iran as incoherent and chaotic. however, despite the alleged incompetence, the ambassador says that mr trump should not be written off. the duke and duchess of sussex have released two photographs to mark the christening of their baby boy. archie harrison mountbatten—windsor was baptised by the archbishop of canterbury in front of close friends and family in a private ceremony at windsor castle. here's our royal correspondent nick witchell. so, here it is, the photographic record of a private family christening at windsor castle. and there he is, archie harrison mountbatten—windsor,

two months old now, in the clearest image we have seen of him. sitting on his mother's lap in a replica of the royal christening robe, with his immediate family around him. in the row behind the sussexes were meghan‘s mother, doria ragland, and diana princess of wales's sisters jane fellowes and sarah mccorquodale. a second black—and—white photograph was also issued showing archie with his parents. in the words of a statement, the couple were happy to share the joy of the day with members of the public. however, the sharing was limited at the couple's insistence. despite all the perks that go with the job, harry and meghan want archie to have as private a life as possible. it has irritated some who say a publicly funded monarchy and royal family should be accessible. we want to see them together, meeting the people in great britain and, of course, around the world. i think it is a private thing with the family, but it would be nice if they were to come out afterwards and just sort of maybe show

the public that the baby has been christened. archie mountbatten—windsor on the day of his christening, oblivious to the kind of debate that's part and parcel of being royal. nicholas witchell, bbc news. this is bbc news. the headlines: france is looking into holding fresh talks with iran to try to save the international nuclear deal. tehran has warned it's ready to enrich more uranium. more than a0 migrants have disembarked from a rescue ship after it defied a ban to dock on the italian island of lampedusa. new legislation in england and wales could see murderers who refuse to reveal the location of their victims' bodies spend longer in prison. helen's law follows a campaign by the mother of helen mccourt who was killed 31 years ago but whose body has never been found. dan johnson reports. for marie mccourt, the grief of more than 30 years has been compounded by the added pain of being unable to bury her daughter.

helen was 22 when she disappeared. she was murdered by ian simms, a pub landlord who is still serving a life sentence and refuses to say what he did with helen's body. marie took her campaign to downing street, calling for helen's law to prevent murderers like simms being eligible for early release. now, thejustice secretary has agreed to the change across england and wales. to have this law means that other families will not have to hopefully go through the pain and grief for as long as i have. i believe that these killers now have to face up to what they have done, because to take a life is horrendous, but then to take the lives of the family of that loved one and not let them know where their loved one's body is, there is no torture worse than that. the parole board can already use withholding information as a reason

not to release a prisoner because it may suggest they are still a risk to the public, but it is optional. now, helen's law changes that. it makes factoring it in a legal requirement. the hope is this move will help address criticism of the parole system and rebuild trust. this is one element of trying to restore confidence, by making it mandatory, in effect, for them to take account of this particular issue. i think there are lots of issues with the criminaljustice system and it is people like marie who identify what they are and campaign for them that will change the system. this is marie's weekly ritual in memory of helen. it's this ongoing anguish the ministry ofjustice says it's acting to recognise, on behalf of families denied the chance to lay their loved ones to rest. dan johnson, bbc news. the 0rkney islands off scotland's mainland contain archaeological treasures of global significance, but their world heritage status could soon be under threat

because of climate change. experts say rising seas and higher rainfall mean popular sites like the ancient village of skara brae are "extremely vulnerable." the bbc‘s james cook reports from 0rkney. skara brae is important to me because it's part of 0rkney‘s history. they taught us about skara brae at school and it was a really interesting to learn about. it brings a lot of people into orkney and into the surrounding areas, and personally, for me, i had a lot of great experiences there when i was younger as well. it brings tourists in. it generates a lot of interest, which everybody benefits from. everywhere where you go in orkney, you meet history. but now, that history is under threat. skara brae is onlyjust clinging on. for years, ewan hyslop has been watching nervously as the sea advances on the village.

this has been here for, what, 5,000 years, this site. is there really that severe a threat from the way the climate's just changing in the last few years? the threat here is very real, in terms of the survival of this site. the global projections for sea—level rise are quite astonishing, in that by the end of this century, by 2100, sea level around most of the planet could be one metre higher than it is now. if these defences were not here, what would have happened to the site? if these defences were not here, we certainly would have lost parts of the site and possibly up to two—thirds of the site would have gone. two—thirds of skara brae would have been washed away? yeah, yeah, so, these defences are absolutely essential. and it's notjust skara brae. access to the ancient ring of brodgar is also threatened by climate change say conservationists. the treasures of orkney

have weathered the elements for thousands of years, and so, it's tempting to think of them as robust, but scientists say they're actually more fragile than that, and they are now extremely vulnerable to the effects of climate change. but there is some good news. this report also finds the community here is tough enough to respond to the challenge. this is the main place in the world for wind power and wave and tide power to be tested. so, we just make the most of what's come along and deal with events. so, there are grounds for optimism. after all, orkney's been adapting to the climate for thousands of years and orcadians say this time too, their island heritage will endure. james cook, bbc news, orkney. britain's biggest ever pride has been taking place in london with an all—singing, all—dancing carnival of colour. organisers say up to 1.5 million people attended. this year's event celebrated 50 years since the stonewall uprising

in new york where a series of violent confrontations took place between police and gay rights activists. here's our lgbt correspondent ben hunte. and just a warning — this report contains some flashing images. politics, protest and one big party. pride came to london today and for many here, it was a saturday like no other. this is believed to be the country's biggest pride event ever with diversity the central theme. it's an opportunity for us to stand in solidarity and show that no matter what race, religion, sexuality, we belong, we are londoners, we have a place here. everyone is equal. everyone can be whatever they want to be, whatever they do is up to them, and i think it's really important for, straight, gay, transgender, whatever it is, to come out and support.

more than 30,000 people from across the lgbtq community have marched through the streets today. they've come from over 600 organisations and corporations with many of them marching for the very first time. organisers estimate that more than 1.5 million people were on the streets of the capital to watch the parade today. with homophobic and transphobic attacks on the increase across the uk, some activists had called for this year's flagship pride event to return to its roots as a protest. whilst we're living in a time where there's so much polarising and toxic debate over our trans siblings, we've got to always go back to our history, our herstory and our theirstory. however, for many of the attendees we spoke to today, they were just grateful to have the opportunity to be so visible and so proud. ben hunte, bbc news. the british number one, johanna konta, has made it

through the second week at wimbledon for only the second time. andy murray was knocked out of the men's doubles today, but he had better luck with his new partner in the mixed. from the all england club, here's our sports correspondent natalie pirks. time flies when you're having fun. and when the partnership dubbed ‘serandy‘ finally got on centre court... applause. ..it was guaranteed box office. the smiles kept coming as the partnership began to flourish, though it wasn't always faultless. commentator: serena, get up! laughter. with the first set in the bag, they turned on the style to make murray's first return to centre court in two years a successful one. after he lost his men's double match earlier, this pair were feeling the love. who's the boss in this pairing? well, we're a team. there's no "i" in team. we were saying before the match, we're both the youngest sibling, so we're used to being bossed by our older brother and sister, so we're sort of taking it in turns, i guess. johanna konta came through three

sets against sloane stephens to make week two, but in an epic 5—setter, britain's dan evans was so close to joining her. instead, joao sousa is portugal's first player in history to reach the last 16 and will play rafa nadal. wimbledon is still loco about coco gauff, but today, the teenager and partnerjay clarke had no answer for their opponents lindstedt and 0stapenko in the mixed doubles. she's got biggerfish to fry next week, though. and from the youngest to the greatest, roger federer now the first player in singles history to record 350 grand slam match wins. no sweat. natalie pirks, bbc news, wimbledon. much more to look forward to in the second week. the weather now with helen willetts. hello there. the best of saturday's sunshine was across the northern half of the uk, but it's not where we saw the highest temperature.

even though we saw scenes like this across the great orme looking out towards llandudno. we did have lower temperatures than those of friday. it was distinctly grey at times with some drizzle underneath our weather front, however, so a very different day. it's in the far south, where we had the early sunshine, where we saw the highest temperatures. for most, it was a very pleasant high teens, low 20s, but chilly in that north—westerly and some showers in the far north of scotland. that fresher air is gradually filtering further southwards. so through the early hours, there'll still be a lot of cloudy and dampish weather in the south, could be quite misty around some of the coasts and still feeling quite close for sleeping. but for the vast majority, it is a fresher end to the night and a lovely start to our sunday morning. certainly a sunnier day for england and wales. eventually, this weather front, dragging its heels a little, will clear away any showers, diminishing too, and then most of the showers will be across the north—east of scotland, the afternoon developing across the hills of england where they could be quite sharp. but for the vast majority, it's a dry day. good spells of sunshine. strong july sunshine. so, feeling pleasant enough despite that north—west breeze. away from the breeze, obviously

feeling much more pleasant. but some strong sunshine, some very high levels of pollen. now, heading further afield, the women's world cup final, stade de lyon, there've been some heavy showers around through saturday and into sunday, but they should be ebbing away, but worth noting they could still be around. and there could still be some showers around through sunday night into monday, but the main theme is how chilly it's going to be. temperatures could fall low enough for a touch of grass frost in the glens of scotland come monday, and it should be a fresher, more comfortable night in the south by then, having lost our weather front. and we start the week with high pressure. however, you can see already those weather fronts are starting to stack up — a sign of a change for the coming week. a more unsettled picture, particularly as the week goes on. but still, the detail is going to be quite devilish and the confidence quite low. but for many, on monday, it looks fine and dry again, the cloud and rain approaches northern ireland towards teatime. there could be the odd shower around elsewhere. but despite the chilly start, we'll see temperatures leaping up to around average for the time of year. feel pleasant enough with the light winds. but come tuesday, we've got that rain passing through northern ireland,

northern england and into scotland. showery rain albeit. and there will be more cloud further south. but we're picking the temperatures up because we've lost that north—westerly wind. we're picking up the atlantic south—westerly instead. the outlook is a more unsettled one, though, from tuesday on, isn't it, for the northern half of the country, and by the end of the week, the likelihood is we'll pick up some heavier showers further south as well. we'll keep you posted. there's more online.

this is bbc news. the headlines: france and iran have agreed to look into resuming talks in a last—ditch bid to save the international deal to control its nuclear programme. iran's president has warned the country is ready to step up enriching uranium, further breaching the terms of the deal. tehran‘s also called on europe to ease the impact of sweeping us economic sanctions. more than a0 migrants have

disembarked from a rescue ship
