sir kim darroch says, despite his shortcomings, president trump's administration shouldn't be written off. the foreign office says the leak of diplomatic cables is "mischievous". angus crawford reports. the blu ntest of language about the most powerful man in the world and his administration, from britain's top diplomat in the us, sir kim darroch. two years of his secret e—mails leaked. in one, he wrote... on donald trump's recent state visit to the uk, he said the president had been dazzled by the queen, but cautioned this is still the land of america first.

and on foreign policy, trump's sabre rattling over iran, approving air strikes and then calling them off, was described as chaotic. here, serious questions are being raised about the leak. the thing with diplomatic cables, and i used to work at the foreign office, i'd be quite careful about what you say which is on a personal basis in those cables, because it's all very well talking about the substance of the relationship, the policies, but i think some of that may, in retrospect, be regarded as unwise. but in a statement, the foreign office denied it would have any long—term impact. as for the future, the ambassador compared it to a roller—coaster which could lead to disgrace and downfall, but cautioned about writing donald trump off, describing him as indestructible. angus crawford, bbc news.

with me is lewis lukens, former deputy head of the us embassy in london. your reaction to this story. it is u nfortu nate, your reaction to this story. it is unfortunate, it is embarrassingly the british government when, one hopes that one can write this analysis and critique and not be put out in the public domain. what have you been hearing about american reaction? it has made the front page here in the uk. it is on the news in the united states, the president has not reacted yet. i checked his twitter feed before i not reacted yet. i checked his twitterfeed before i came in, he had twitterfeed before i came in, he ha d rea cted twitterfeed before i came in, he had reacted yet. i think the diplomat is doing what he is paid to do, he is paid for his analysis, and i think anyone who has followed the white house for the last two years will recognise that his analysis is

fairly accurate. he has nothing to be embarrassed about. he was doing hisjob and be embarrassed about. he was doing his job and doing be embarrassed about. he was doing hisjob and doing it in an be embarrassed about. he was doing his job and doing it in an accurate way. i suppose the concern is the memos, the cables were leaked. that has a concern for the british government, and it is unfortunate. we went through this with wikileaks yea rs we went through this with wikileaks years ago. again it is awkward and embarrassing when confidential internal documents are released to the public, because that diminishes oui’ the public, because that diminishes our diplomats‘ ability to do their job so they are not confident that they analysis will be kept secret. in this area of disrupted diplomacy, as has been described, during president trump‘s administration, will it affect the special relationship? is he likely to react? i don‘t know whether he will react. ido i don‘t know whether he will react. i do not think it will affect the special relationship, there is too much important work we do together ona much important work we do together on a daily basis to be derailed by

this type of leak. it is an irritant, but it is not an art to disrupt the relationship. in your time, your experience, in the world of diplomacy, what would be your primary and first question as to why add why now these leaks have happened for? i do not know, i read any article that the diplomat is nearly the end of his tenure, maybe there is some manoeuvring by people here in london to replace him. that could be part of what is happening. i really don‘t know. timing is u nfortu nate i really don‘t know. timing is unfortunate coming after the state visit which was such a success, and this does cast a pall over that. i would not want to begin to speculate on who or why the leak happened. what can you curse about him?” on who or why the leak happened. what can you curse about him? i have had many interactions with them, and again he was doing hisjob and doing

it well. he was reporting the facts and the atmosphere on the ground as he saw it from all his interactions with white house. thank you very much for your time. the foreign office has told iran it must "immediately stop" all activities that breach the nuclear deal agreed with world leaders in 2015. earlier, tehran confirmed it would break a limit set on uranium enrichment — and keep reducing its commitments every 60 days unless european countries did more to relieve the impact of american sanctions. the german government has also said it is ‘extremely concerned‘ by the developments. alice porter reports. last week, iran began showing its defiance against the 2015 nuclear deal — an agreement designed to contain iran‘s development of nuclear technology. the regime breached the terms by going over the stockpile limits

set for low enriched uranium. now events have gone one step further. at a news conference in tehran, senior officials said they would soon exceed the level of uranium enrichment set out in the deal. translation: in a few hours' time, technical work will conclude and the process of proliferation above 3.67% will start. we expect that tomorrow morning, when the iaea take samples, we will have gone beyond 3.67%. iran says there is still opportunity for talks, but european leaders may not be so hopeful. during an hour—long call with the iranian leader, the french president expressed strong concern about the consequences of abandoning the deal. so how did we get to this position? just over a year ago, donald trump upended the agreement and the us imposed tough economic sanctions on iran, severely damaging its economy. i am announcing today that the united states will withdraw from the iran nuclear deal.

in a few moments, i will sign a presidential memorandum to begin reinstating us nuclear sanctions on the iranian regime. european leaders are struggling to postpone the moment when they have to declare the nuclear deal dead. but if iran continues to breach its terms, angering the us, they may have no alternative. alice porter, bbc news. the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, says he would campaign and vote for britain to remain in the eu, urging the labour party to come out and support a second referendum. mr mcdonnell pressed jeremy corbyn to ‘get on with‘ making the decision to support a public vote. labour lost support to both the liberal democrats and the brexit party in the recent european elections because of confusion over its position on brexit. here‘s our political

correspondent, jessica parker. two men at the top of the labour party, at the heart of decision—making. the shadow chancellor is increasingly trying to clear the path for a clearer message on brexit. he says there is little time to lose on more fully getting behind another referendum. we need to express a view now which is clearly saying... i will vote to remain and i want to campaign remain. whatjeremy is rightfully doing, and this is one of the differences between us, i say get on with it, jeremy i much wiser, he wants to talk to people and then go for it. have divisions sparked a civil war at the top of the party? john mcdonnell says no. it is net. it is rubbish. we are not being frozen out of meetings? —— you are not. no. we go back a0 years. we are the closest of friends. pressure on another issue, anti—semitism allegations in the labour party, but signs that this

could move further in the coming weeks. meanwhile, decisions and being made here as well. voting is under way in the tory leadership contest. borisjohnson is striding towards a halloween departure date from the eu, but some tory mps do not have a taste for a new deal brexit on the label find a way to stop it. and say they will find a way to stop it. a sizeable number of us are meeting and having conversations at all times, as you would expect. borisjohnson has tried to dampen down the possibility of a no—deal departure, putting the odds at a million to one, but whoever takes over will face the same divided views that eventually sank the prime minister‘s plans. the women‘s world cup is under way in lyon, with the usa palying the netherlands, looking to win the trophy for a record fourth time.

the defending champions are up against the reigning european champions in the final. the score, no one has scored yet, but we have had a yellow card. 0—0 so but we have had a yellow card. 0—0 so far. in a moment we will talk to and holligan and rotterdam. —— in a moment we will talk to anna holligan in rotterdam. first to seth bennett outside the stadium in lyon. it has been wonderful, thousands and thousands of fans have been arriving, decked out in either bright orange are red, white and blue, depending on whether they were following the dutch or the americans. i even spoke to one lady who had gold clogs, jeevan had a big cheese head with a cow on top. they came well prepared to show what they could bring to this party. this is

the dutch first ever world cup final. they feel very strongly that they are side has come through this tournament very well, as they have started to really play the kind of football that the nation loves and that really took them to the centre of the nation‘s football when they won that euros a couple of years ago. had they been as good as the us? the outside that there is no, and the first ten months of the game has followed a similar theme. the us have had more of the bowl, the dutch picked up a yellow card, a late tackle. they have not really been too many attempts on target. both of these teams know that the deeper into the game they go, their athletes will go on to be stronger be stronger and stronger. the dutch believe the number of late goals that they scored in this tournament will serve them well as this game goes on. and terms of support, while the usa has the edge on that, they have 65—72% of the crowd, but the dutch are not being out song as yet.

it has been a wonderful tournament so it has been a wonderful tournament so far, and this is the perfect stage for the final to take place effort of a packed house here, but who is going to take it? as things stand, 0—0. who is going to take it? as things stand, 0-0. that sea of orange behind you, they think they will have it. yes, this is the current world cup champions taking on the european champions, both seeking to do what their men never have had left a world cup trophy. there is absolutely no doubt that the dutch are the underdogs, but tell that to these crowds in rotterdam. actually these crowds in rotterdam. actually the squad are revelling in that underdog status. they have already passed expectations, getting there is far, so as far as they are concerned there is absolutely nothing to lose. looking at the match, 14 minutes in, watching on a

big screen, identity games in this championship the usa have scored by i'iow. championship the usa have scored by now. in that sense, the dutch are already doing something that nobody else has. we can speak now to aziz, or the women are too busy watching the game, but you organise this festival. why did you think there was a need to step in and make sure that this game gets the attention it deserves? this event we are organising is in support with the city of rotterdam. they asked us if we we re city of rotterdam. they asked us if we were able to put on a screen, because the women's squad achieve such a great position and getting to the finals and we thought it was only fair that we organised something, that we did it in the past with the men. there is no doubt when you look around, this game just does not have the same attention that the men's game does, despite the fact that actually the women have gone further. they are potentially going to lift the

trophy. they are fearless, optimistic, but real estate. do you think that this game will change the perceptions and respect for women's foot ball perceptions and respect for women's football across europe? most definitely. i am very proud of the squad, what they have achieved. in dutch we have a saying, their fighting spirit as a symbol for men, women, boys or girls, the whole country is very proud of them. i am sure that in ten of 15 years' time from now we will definitely be at that same level where the usa are at i'iow. that same level where the usa are at now. so much belief here. thank you. so much believe, and as the coach says, this isjust one game, and there is everything to play for. the headlines on bbc news: mps are calling for an inquiry into leaked emails from the british ambassador to washington describing president
